sticky jungles

Omg guys!! I went to Australia.



Ok, I lied. Picture above is taken at the Kundasang War Memorial, remembering 2428 Australian and British prisoners of war during the World War II.

Mama had this idea of whisking her kids into the jungle because a) she loved the prospect of giving her children a short getaway prior to their exams (what she said), b) they spend too much time on the internet (what I know she actually meant).


Naturally, I survived the world's longest island to island zipline. Flips tudung, OK??!! I SURVIVED.





But no, Mum, you can take us out of the city, still can't take the city out of us.

not butter

"*inserts some religious rituals procedure that eventually turns out as inaccurate* IMPORTANT!! PLS SHARE"

"*types some """fact""" about the Prophet and how he loved to (insert)* PLS SPREAD THIS"

"*shares some misguided information about the true faith* RT IF YOU LOVE ISLAM"

"*writes a paragraph on some non-existent day, e.g., Different-Faiths-Burn-Quran-Day*"

*attaches a picture of a Hadith, only to find out it was fake, but keeps it anyway because you have 3,000 RTs* 

*uploads photoshopped pictures of a celebrity supporting (insert) or condemning (insert), garnering said person numerous bashful comments*

*publishes hateful rumours about an unresolved issue, have 40239939110 users liking your post, in which, was completely inaccurate and defective in the end*  


If the Internet is ice cream, one can say that social networks are the cherries, granted that we use it for good, instead of spreading false information, which may lead to fitnah, by the way.

Let us all do a little research before spreading, sharing and retweeting. Google it, check its authenticity, share/RT if true, inform the tweeter (I think I just invented a word, really, tweeter??? but whatevs) if it's a hoax. 

Go on guys, do our homework.

Kindly correct me should I have posted untruth. (because, come on, heels can't help me with this.)
