Another Siti and 1-day too late
It is a talk of nation on the upcoming wedding of Siti Nurhaliza, a popular female pop artiste of the country with Dato’ K; coined to be the wedding-of-the-year. It is scheduled to be on 21st August 2006. The craze is as such until the never-seen-before local TV stations racing neck-to-neck to have rights for live telecast of the ceremony. The local media, like nobody’s business, have been drumming up the impending matrimony starts from the announcement of the much awaited nuptials date; was even made the breaking news, live on national TV and subsequently made front-page in all major newspapers in the country. Never in the history had such thing like this happened to anyone in her class, being treated way better than the Royal weddings.
Long before the announcement was made, the media has already wasted much space in the news columns, countless hours of TV airtime speculating and gossiping. We don’t talk about the tabloids, periodical, magazines and what not just yet. Have our media now gone into a state of ridicule or something? For what it’s worth, we cannot blame the media for doing so because they are in business of selling news and stories about her sells. Anything about her, newspapers sell better, magazines increase in circulations. The bigger the captions on the issue the more the readers will be attracted to. Her stunning and glittery look indeed graces the front page; innumerable publications eagerly have her to be their cover girl. Iconic, her presence on TV attracts more audience. TV ratings shoot high. The suffering of the Lebanese people being pounded by the Jews is just a mockery. The news on Tsunami, oh well, people have heard it before; it was even bigger when it hit Acheh. The awe is not that great anymore. With or without our concern over it, things just happened. What about the important figures of the country appear to say something for the rakyat? Nah, they are just the politicians. When politicians make statements, people know it too well, all are rhetoric. After all, it’s not so much entertaining in the first place. News on Siti Nurhaliza is different. It is even made headline during prime time news. This is what people want to hear, want to see. People are interested to know everything about her, engrossed over her, even down to the less than important things treated as news like how much the wedding gown costs, who designs it, what color, how much the dowry would be, where’s the place of their choice for honeymoon will be at, how many horses will be used for the stagecoach in KLCC – the curiosity is infinite.
As much as I like her for her charm and beauty, apart from talents, I would love to urge people to put a limit to it. We’ve got many other better things to concern about. I think we have gone too far idolizing a celebrity.
On the other anecdote, I have a younger brother. He is 29. He belongs to the Alumni of MRSM Jasin. He went through with flying colors for both PMR and SPM. He had had a heart for Japan for further studies instead of me back then pushing him for England since I had a way to place him there. Adamant, he was. So then, he is a graduate from a prestigious university in Kansai, Japan and is now a Mechanical Engineer with Hitachi, based in KL. He spent years in Japan study and work. When he was there, he used to send me pictures of him with his car, Skyline, much to my envy. Oh, by the way, he speaks good Japanese language and he brags of speaking immaculate Kansai dialect with a great deal of amazement to even the Japanese people. I learned that Kansai dialect is a dialect that hard to master in, just like Kelantanese dialect if it is in our country. Anyway, to his credit, he has taught my kids to sing Doraemon song with correct dictions. He did it in a way how Shafinaz and Paul Moss are commenting on the contestants in One in A Million reality TV show, swiftly point out when my kids muffle in their singing. Hehe!
The thing is, just like Siti Nurhaliza, or rather say Dato’ K, he is getting married too. The coincidence is as such, he’s marrying Siti too. But, of whom it is another kind of Siti though, Siti Hajar. Pretty close! The irony is; both families have agreed upon the date long before the announcement was made by Siti Nurhaliza. The date is 22nd August 2006. Siti Nurhaliza / Dato’ K came up with the date 21st August 2006. One day earlier.
I’ll bet my brother’s wedding has been downplayed by Dato’ K to have us beaten by one day. Hahaha!

GAB
It is reported in the paper, according to Siti, the sons are all well-groomed by the father, Dato' K and that's a pointer for her attraction
I can see that...
No wonder our people prefer news related to Siti Nurhaliza rather than news on Lebanon. What is there when all about Lebanon are misery with pictures of dismembered and charred remains of the children? This one is uhh... I have to agree with people... !
