    Rancangan Sinar Lebaran 2017 Tak Power, Perlu Dipertingkat

    “”Sinar Lebaran 2017” Rancangan Tv untok Hari Raya baru2 ini , dari MediaCorp kali ini tidak menyengat dan sehebat dari rancangan2 yg tlh berlalu.

    Haryani Hassan Basri yg mendendangkan lagu Raya yg d popular kan oleh Sharifah Aini, terlau banyak kekurangan nya ,suaranya, dan patah lagu nya.. beliau perlu banyak belajar tentang lagu2 tradisonal. Jika beliau benar2 mau menjadi saorang penyanyi yg baik. Cuma yg boleh membanggakan ia lah Elfi R Ismail, beliau memang lah sa orang anak muda yg penuh berbakat dgn lagu2 tradisional yg boleh membawa beraneka rentak lagu dan yg boleh mewarisi Bapa nya… R Ismail..

    Penerbit tlh mengenengahkan penyanyi2 dari Anugrah, tapi ada juga dari penyanyi2 nya tidak dapat membawakan lagu2 Raya dan lain2 nya dengan begitu baik.. Penerbit rancang selau nya mengundang kumpulan dari Sri Mahligai,, apa kah tidak ada kumpulan lain, atau pemuzik2 lain yg penuh berbakat untok rancangan TV.. atau mengapa Penerbit tidak mengundang Wan Ibrahim Wan Embong.. bagi memimpin pemuzik,d rancangan Tv mediacorp. beliau ada lah sa orang pengarah muzik.. yg luar biasa baik..
    Saya sarankan kpd Penerbit Rancangan untok Hari Raya yg akan datang, agar rancangan2 hiburan ini lebih baik dari yang ini, tahniah… kpd pelawak2 kita yg sungguh luar biasa baik.. yg menghibur kan dan yg patut kita bangga kan.

    Mohon maaf jika ada yg kurang senang dgn saya. Tapi ini ada lah ikhlas dari saya seorang pencinta muzik.

  • Halimah Yacob Does Not Confirm Running For Elected Presidency

    Halimah Yacob Does Not Confirm Running For Elected Presidency

    With eight constituencies and many invitations from different organisations to break fast, Madam Halimah Yacob said her days have been packed all the way till Hari Raya, and time with family has been hard to come by.

    The mother of five children, all in their 20s and 30s, said she is thankful her family “accepts” her schedule.

    “I’ve broken fast at home on only a few days, all the rest of the days have been out,” she said.

    She was quick to add that she does enjoy breaking fast outside, particularly with her residents.

    Madam Halimah said that sometimes she does not even have time to have a proper meal between events.

    During such moments, she shared that she slips into nearby mosques “incognito”.

    “The good thing is that every mosque here provides something to eat, so it’s quite interesting to break fast and then perform my maghrib (evening) prayers before I go off to my event,” she said.

    In 2015, on Polling Day, Madam Halimah’s mother died as she was doing her rounds. This year will be the second Hari Raya that she will be celebrating without her, but it never gets easier.

    Said Madam Halimah: “What I miss about mum is her presence. Sitting there, she used to sit on the sofa, just having her there would mean tremendous comfort because she’s been the pillar of strength for me all the while.”

    Hari Raya is not just a time to celebrate family, but to also remember the loved ones lost, as she pointed out.

    With a laugh Madam Halimah said: “I cook lontong for breakfast every Hari Raya morning. So the children have asked me this year if I am going to cook and I told them I will see how.

    “But no lah, I will make it this year, every year I will cook it.”

    Other than lontong, Madam Halimah is looking forward to having time for herself this festive weekend.

    “That’s the wonderful thing about Hari Raya, at least the first two days will be off limits,” she said.

    When asked if she sees herself becoming busier in the future, on account of the upcoming presidential election which she is widely rumoured to be considering, Madam Halimah laughed, reiterating that she had a lot on her plate.

    “I’ve been very busy actually. My time is really packed and, of course, in Parliament as Speaker the last few years have been very packed,” she chuckled.

    “Our Members of Parliament have been pretty active filing motions and so on, so that has kept me pretty busy.”

  • Ahmad Stokin: Kalau Dah Janji Nak Datang Beraya, Jangan Paitau!

    Ahmad Stokin: Kalau Dah Janji Nak Datang Beraya, Jangan Paitau!

    Masih dlm syawal masih lagi kita beraya. Selain majlis raya sana sini masih terdapat juga kunjung mengunjung yg tak habis2.
    Terdongar rintihan sorang kawan kerana beberapa anggota keluarga dan juga kekawan yg dah janji nak dtg beraya, tetiba las menet tak jadi datang. Ambo pon turut merasa bingit.

    Ya tak ya, boleh ambo tanyo sikit, pat mano letak palo hotak korang ni?? Bukan nya org tu yg panggil korang datang rumah dia. Tapi korang yg kasi tau yg korang nak dtg beraya. Doh tu tuan rumah tentunya berusaha susah payah menyiapkan juadah2 lauk pauk untuk korang2 mentakedaghah lah kan. Kalau satu dua org tak pe lah, tapi bayangkan lah yg kata nak datang tu mungkin berbelas org jumlahnya, lalu disiapkan lah makanan untuk sebanyak itu.

    Ehhh aleh2 tiba harinya, mcm tak bersalah lah pulak telepon org tu korang kasi tau tak jadi datang lah, ada hal lah, tak sempat lah, itu lah ini lah, kepala hotak ko LAH!!
    Ok mungkin ada yg marah ambo ckp cenggini, teruskan baco lah.

    Kalau tak boleh datang akibat dari perkara2 yg betul2 tak dapat elak tu, ok tuan rumah pasti akan mengerti, contoh: kemalangan ke, kematian ke, masuk spital ke, dan alasan2 yg sekontener dgn nya.
    TAPI ko kasi alasan apa pon, lopas tu jgn lah apdet satus pat pesbuk ko beraya rumah lain pulok. Pos gambor tulis kepsyen “Best ah filem tadi, worth the ticket price”, Ada yg aplod gambor “enjoying our deghian Kong D24 at lor 24 geylang” huakakakakaka

    So tell me, give me one good reason not to call you Stupid Dumb Ass!!!

    Moral op der setori :- kalau tak mau ini terjadi pd diri sendiri, jangan lakukan pd orang lain.

    p.s. Kesian kak jey, terpaksalah makan lauk sama tiap hari 3-4 hari ni kankankan.

  • Eid As A Struggling Single Twenty Something

    Eid As A Struggling Single Twenty Something

    As a child, I used to love celebrating Eid. I dreaded the fasting month of Ramadhan but I looked forward to new clothes, eating scrumptious rendang and ketupat, and of course, for many Asian kids – the collection of green packets filled with dollar dollar bills. Apart from visiting close relatives on the first day of Eid, you get to spend another day in Syawal with your closest friends from school visiting their houses.

    It was kinda cool to bring your friends over when you were ten years old, dressed in the traditional baju kurung going around the neighbourhood and coming home at the end of the day with your bag bursting with green packets. You would know which house gave the envelope, and if you get at least $5 from that house, you’re definitely going back there again the year after.

    As I grew older, however, the enjoyment of Eid started to fade away. At fifteen, I despised celebrating Eidulfitri. Eidulftri would be torturous for me since I had to appeased my newly divorced parents – I couldn’t spend more than 2 hours at my dad’s place or I’ll never hear the end of my mum’s wrath. My sisters were busy with their own families, making sure they visit the in-laws before making their way to my mum’s. And for some reason, you start not liking your relatives. I remember bursting out at my sister for coming so late int the afternoon and my make up was already ruined from the frustration of waiting around. The first day of Eid as a hormonal teenager was basically me playing the waiting game.

    Eid started to change as I entered my twenties. While it was still as boring as when I was a teenager, I began to prepare the house the house willingly. I bought flowers, new cushion covers, and occasionally curtains to slowly make the house into a home. I volunteered help in the kitchen, making sure I picked up my mum’s recipes to her signature Eid dishes and perfecting them. I made cookies and sweet treats to offer to the guests coming over to my place and made sure there were all sorts of drinks available for them.

    As much as I wish Eid is better now as I enter my mid-twenties, I realised that an awkward Eid is a common predicament between peers of my age. Perhaps it’s the having to part with copious amounts of money during the festive period – spending for the house and family, green packets for the little ones, awkward conversations with aunts and uncles who seem to nitpick on every aspect of your life. Or maybe it has got to do with spending Eid as a single woman, wondering when you’d be able to prepare for Eid excitedly for your kids and husband. Whatever the reason is, Eid as a struggling single twenty something is just plain boring.

    I make do with baking cookies, cakes and occasionally help my mum prepare the traditional dishes we feast on the morning of Eid. House chores like literally scrubbing the floors get my mind off the fact that each Eid is the same as before – lonesome and boring. I try getting away from celebrating Eid by going to work, but I feel bad for my mum. Though to be honest, I’m quite happy working while everyone else celebrates.

    One day, I’ll wake up on the morning of Eid excited to head to the mosque, dress my family up and head out for the rounds of visiting. One day, I’ll learn to appreciate the merry-making and spamming of family photos on Facebook and Instagram. One day, I’ll teach my daughter how to prepare the raya dishes and get my son to wash the windows and fix the curtains up. One day, I’ll be on my knees on the morning of Eid, with my head buried in my husband’s hand, asking for forgiveness and perhaps shedding a tear or two.

    One day, that happy family portrait of mine will be hung on my wall just in time for Eid.

    For now, I’ll be contented with spending the morning of Eid at home, with a cup of coffee and a bowl of lontong, watching reruns of Bujang Lapok on the telly with my three cats.

    Eid Mubarak everyone.
