Lately, everything and i mean everything r done through sms. U can communicate with your frens, send pictures (MMS), vote for your favourite reality show candidates, get divorce, check your savings balance, blackmail and fwd jokes and what ever not through the power of SMS. Its such a wonder to think how this small little technology of text appearing at you 2x1" handphone screen can play such a big role in our lifes.

Im not gonna talk about EVERYTHING regarding sms..but just this particular issue I am not very happy about. I was just observing ppl and the world of SMS for quite sometime now. It amazes me how ppl get exicted when they get sms on jokes and rumours or what not and willingly spend ringgits to fwd it to others. It never entered their head it is wrong or what not cos "it makes no harm".

Ok then. One day, i received a SMS from a friend that wrote,

"Amanat dr Mekah: Penjaga Maqam Nabi telah bermimpi bertemu Nabi Muhammad SAW dan baginda berpesan kepadanya agar umatnya kuat beribadat kerana bumi ini sudah tua dan kiamat hampir tiba. Sebarkan sms ini kepada semua saudara islam kita"

I witnessed a conversation regarding smses like this when i was in KL one day. Tell me what is wrong with that SMS? Would you have fwded it? If yes y? if not, y?

Ma first reaction reading that sms was goose bumps all over ma body. We dont know how true is it that there is this person out there in Mekah who dreamt what was written in that SMS. We dont. How far is it true we will never know. But why cant we c the msg behind that sms? Isnt it true that the world is getting older? Isnt it true that Nabi Muhammad SAW had reminded us regarding this even before he left us? I think the signs on the end of the world are getting clearer each and every single day. And it is sad how ppl can just ignore em.

Ok..next point. Whats wrong with fwding that msg? It didnt say "You will be punished/ sinful for not fwding this to more than 10 ppl", did it? It just said "pls fwd it to muslims". I dont think there's anything wrong with that, personally. The sms meant well..and we never joke about religion.

What sadden me was that... Those jerks who've been smsing chain smses on Islam/Muslims had killed the trust and faith of many Muslims about the sincerity of msges meant to be sent through this method of technology. Even though its just a simple reminder, they quickly assume "it is wrong to fwd as it is a chain sms". Pls, we are educated ppl. I think we should think deeper if its a chain sms or not. Someone wise that i know told me that she wouldnt fwd smses on religion if it is stated "pls fwd it". I think what matters most is the msg after that. there's nthing sinful by saying "pls fwd it". its sinful to say "if not...bla bla bla".

so ma advice to those who wants to send thoughful thoughts and advices or reminders on our religion through SMS, i would strongly advice you to just type your msg and not add "pls fwd it" in the msg. I think that should come from within the receiver him/herself. This way, we can keep the TRUE and SINCERE smses on religion CLEAN. :)

P.S- I got goosebumps reading the sms because just a few nites before...i dreamt of the end of the world. I woke up feeling terrified to ma core. So do not take forgranted or misjudge ppl's experience.

Thats right! I cant stand BIMBOsss!!! "omg omg omg~~!!" "Everyone was looking at me" "Do i look nice in this..this? n this? what about this?" OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

One of the reasons i dont watch Hot Chick..cos i just cant stand the sight of bimbos. I do have a few close friends who are 1..still under control though. But that 1 main thing i just HATE the most about bimbos are the fact that they KNOW that they r pretty/attractive..and they keep TALKING about it! geeeeeeeeeesssssssshhhhh!

When a guy looks at me..first thing that comes into ma head would be "did the ketchup spill on ma shirt?" or.."did i zip up ma pants?" or .."what?? never seen a tall gal??"..u know..stuff like that. out of 30 times..i think maybe once (or not) that i will think "he's checking me out alrite". Then again..im not the most attractive person uve met..so im just cool if ppl turn their heads to look at me.

But ..these pretty gals..*big sigh*...yes..i admit..u r attractive. n u KNOW that YOURSELF. but y must u act as if it is sooooooooooooooooo sinful that other ppl r looking at u cos u r pretty?? or even worst..y do u always think that ppl are ALWAYS looking at u? n that u r the main attention of the universe???
Exactly..2 types of bimbos.

1. I-dont-like-ppl-who-wants-to-get-to-know-me-cos-i'm-pretty type
Ask urself this very simple ques. When u look at a handsome guy..what is ur first reaction. DONT LIE to me and urself and answer stupidly "his watch"! I bet it will b his looks. Who in this world who doesnt like looking at gorgeous ppl? Ok..doesnt it just make sence that u would love to know more about that person? Ive seen this gal..who goes head over heels about a guy in a magazine..whom she finds 'cute'..and ..she was just crazy over him..hoping to get to know him n such. based on what? LOOKS aint it? Its just human nature. So y the heck r u making such a big deal when ppl wanna get to know u? Y must it always b "he wants to get to know me cos im pretty". It shows 1 thing. U r not confident of urself..anything else in urself but ur looks. thats y that idea is the first to pop into ur silly head!

2. Im-the-pretties-gal-in-the-room
What the....??? A perfect malay word for it will be 'PERASAN'. self-absorbed. everything and all u can think of is u. Even when ppl r looking AT YOUR DIRECTION..u straight jump into conclusion that he's checking u out. When u walk into the mall, u feel as if everyone turn their heads n gaze at u while u attract the attention like no one else has. Again..what the..??? What the heck is playing in ur head u freak?? Just cos u r from a mix parentage family..or fair..or blonde..or put on fake blue contact lenses..must u act like a fool n think that u r the centre of attention!

N to answer to that question playing in ur head, NO, i dont have probs, mentally, physically or emotionally with pretty ppl. Ive been around so many of em..and ive been with those who have amazing humble attitude too. They make u feel like u blend in..n that looks are not the main thing in anything. It's the beaty inside that means most. N ma bestest fren in the world is the best example of that.

I just can't stand bimbos. Thats all. Remember gals, its not always about u. N besides, looks will not b with u forever. Its what inside that means most. so CUT IT OUT!
