Once Upon A Time: The DIP day!

I still freshly remember my junior term at PMA Kakul Abottabad, when we were introduced to some important people around the camp, places we have to go, do and don'ts. One thing that we always do until my final term was the DIP.

Its basically a small lengthy pond which they like to call it 'nalla' (im sorry if i spell it wrong:p cz it sounds like it in Urdu). It is a pond full of horse s**t and a lot of that kind mixed inside. So we have to swim in it for training purposes and sometimes for punishments. I enjoyed it tho at first im reluctant to do it. Hahaha..sounds weird ha? You have no idea how it smells like..i have no picture in my head to compare to - the smell is just bad bad bad, but somehow we have to do it. So with the bond of brotherhood, i did it! Some joy i bring til today hahaha!! Miss you PMA!

The Effect of: Hantu Kum Kum (here in Brunei)

I watched this movie at the cinema quite sometime ago, its a typical-malay-horror-movie and the timeline of this movie is quite good produced by the famous David Teo.

One thing that caught my attention when the villian or 'maybe' ghost of that movie used the line (word/sentence): ASSALAMUALAIKUM KUM KUM KUM...im not a pious person but little i know that the word ASSALAMUALAIKUM is suppose to be a good greeting word that is used by Muslims til today to greet each other. Plus, the word 'Salam' is 1 of 99 Allah AlMightys (muslims god) name.

This movie itself try to promote that the word ASSALAMUALAIKUM is a scary word/sentence. Might be the producer or who ever is responsible overlooked that. The effect here, in the country, among kids in particular, grown to be scared of the word ASSALAMUALAIKUM.

I know its not their intention to do this deliberately (whoever may concern). Im sorry if hurt somebody but this is just from my honest opinion. Cheers all:)) ASSALAMUALAIKUM (Peace Be Upon You)
