Tiger's Escapade To The Bahamas...Solo

Talk about remorse. Huh!
We're talking about golfer and mega-sportsman Tiger Woods who, the world now knows, is a bloody serial cheater.
He told the whole wide world, more or less, that he is very remorseful and wants to make things right with his wife to whom he had been such a bastard, and that he wants so dearly to be with his family whom he loves so much.

(Can I now puke?)

Already, his wife Elin, has been seen around without him and minus her wedding ring on her finger.

There's talk that she wants to divorce him. Good for you, girl! Take him to the cleaners too, while you at it!

Okay. Here's the best part. The oh-so-very-Tiger idea of getting away from it all, putting all that scandal behind him. Going away with his buddies to the Bahamas on his yacht. No wife, no kids.

What crock!

No prizes for guessing what's in store on that yacht and in the Bahamas.

That guy is a pathological humper.

They said that about a local politician years ago. Just put a skirt around a lamp post and he'd hump the lamp post.

I'd say the same thing about Tiger. Just put a blonde wig on a lamp post and he'd hump the lamp post before you could say whamma!

It must have been tough for Tiger all through his marriage to keep up that image of a family man.

When all that while, he was screwing every damn babe and broad he laid his sleazy eyes on!

Alamak, Tok Guru!

Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, I am convinced, is an honest man.

He has no agenda here. He is saying itas it is.

That if anyone should practice polygamy, it would be a man of God.

Now, who can do it better than a man of God.

I agree. But the man of God must be really A MAN OF GOD. One who FEARS the ALMIGHTY and would therefore not want to incur His wrath, for a man of God fears no one but the Almighty. his creator.

I read in the NST today that the Tok Guru encourages ulama to practise polygamy because they are model polygamous husbands.

"The 76-year-old Pas spiritual leader said they would set good examples on what a true polygamous marriage was all about in Islam."

The full report.

Sigh, sigh, sigh.

I reckon this -- either the Tok Guru is truly a simpleton, down-to-earth, a shrewd politician who is trying to divert attention from the mess in PAS, or that he wants to tell everyone that if anyone who should be practicing polygamy, it is him. So, get ready everyone for an announcement soon. Wink, wink. Meow!

He Married A ...(Gasp) MAN..

and he doesn't give a rat ass! He loves the guy - his wife (the are legally married in the UK) - whom he met in Kuala Lumpur.

They're in his home country -- the UK -- now.

Ian Young and his Malaysian wife, Fatine ( who was born Mohammed Fazdil Bin Min Bahari), were happy after they got married. His family and friends accepted her for what she was and is.
But Fatine now faces deportation because of some immigration problems with regards to his, I mean, her passport.

Of course, if and when Fatine is forced ro return home to Malaysia, it won't be hunky-dory. Poor chap.

Here's Ian's story that was published in The Sun (of the UK).

WHEN Ian Young sat down next to a beautiful woman in a packed cafe in Kuala Lumpur, he had no idea they would one day be married.

Nor did he know that his pretty companion was a man.

In just three years, Ian has gone from being a straight lad from Derby - who was with his previous girlfriend for eight years - to being in a full-time same-sex relationship.

Ian married 36-year-old Fatine, who is a pre-op transsexual, in a British civil partnership ceremony in May.

But now Fatine faces deportation back to Malaysia, where homosexuality is ILLEGAL.

Ian, 30, who owns his own property maintenance company, says: "I know it is hard for people to understand but I love Fatine. I feel lucky to have met such a caring, wonderful person.

"It doesn't matter to me that she is a transsexual - it's the person she is inside that I care about and love.

"I can't contemplate the idea of us not being together. I look at her and see a beautiful woman."

Blogging Moms Wooed By Food Firms

And waddya know. You can make something out of blogging. I'll say!
I know that this is happening, to some extent in Malaysia. Some foodie bloggers do get invited to "review" dishes in restaurants and cafes.

Of course, the question of ethics comes in.
But what ethics are blogger bound by? Journalists of traditional media have got their "rules" and
honor code".

Here's a Los Angeles Times story about how food firms have found a shrewd marketing ploy by courting blogging moms:

Reporting from Los Angeles and Fort Wayne, Ind. - On most days, Andrea Deckard can be found in her home office, digging through stacks of coupons and grocery receipts for money saving tips and recipes that she can share with readers of her Mommy Snacks blog.

That is, when the stay-at-home mom isn't being wined and dined by giant food companies.

Earlier this year, Frito-Lay flew her to Los Angeles to meet celebrities such as model Brooke Burke and the Spice Girls' Mel B, while pitching her on its latest snack ad campaign.

More recently, Nestle paid to put her and 16 other so-called "mommy bloggers" -- and one daddy blogger -- up at the posh Langham Huntington hotel in Pasadena, treated them to a private show at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and sent packages of frozen Omaha Steaks to their families to tide them over while the women were away learning all about the company's latest product lines.

In return, Deckard and her virtual sisterhood filed Twitter posts raving about Nestle's canned pumpkin, Wonka candy and Juicy Juice drinks.

How cool is that?
But, bummer if we have to deal with the ethics issue!

I Want To Hang My Laundry Out To Dry!

One day, this will happen to us in good old Malaysia -- when we cannot even hang our clothes out to dry.

This is sheer madness and an infringement of our rights.

Somewhere in the US of A, where not everything is of milk and honey, some house-owners are fighting to hang out their laundry under the sun.

Can you ust imagine that?

Take a look at this Reuters report:

PERKASIE, Pennsylvania – Carin Froehlich pegs her laundry to three clotheslines strung between trees outside her 18th-century farmhouse, knowing that her actions annoy local officials who have asked her to stop.

Froehlich is among the growing number of people across America fighting for the right to dry their laundry outside against a rising tide of housing associations who oppose the practice despite its energy-saving green appeal.

Although there are no formal laws in this southeast Pennsylvania town against drying laundry outside, a town official called Froehlich to ask her to stop drying clothes in the sun. And she received two anonymous notes from neighbors saying they did not want to see her underwear flapping about.

"They said it made the place look like trailer trash," she said, in her yard across the street from a row of neat, suburban houses. "They said they didn't want to look at my 'unmentionables.'"

Froehlich says she hangs her underwear inside. The effervescent 54-year-old is one of a growing number of Americans demanding the right to dry laundry on clotheslines despite local rules and a culture that frowns on it. READ THE FULL STORY....

Boy, Am I Glad My Partner's Not An Actor...

You betcha...
Let me say that once again -- boy, am I glad my partner's not an actor... especially not one in Hollywood.

Can you just imagine going through a relationship with a man who makes a living having to caress, kiss and kiss and kiss and smooch other women....even if it was acting, faking it all??

Tha's how some actresses get hooked up and into a relationship with their leading men...and vice versa.

So not cool for me.

I can imagine myself as an actress, in Hollywood, of course, having to take on roles that require me to be physical with another.

So, as you can see, I'm so not into that mould. And so cannot understand the whole acting thing.

Taking things nearer to home, or back to home...still not for me. Nor for my partner.

Oh..you know. All those dialogues must be said with feelings and emotions. Can get carried away to dangerous waters. Have been known to happen.

Shudder.

Thank God, we're not actors.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Hell Knows Fury Like A Woman Cheated And Scorned...

...and everything that goes along with her man's (even if he is soon-to-be her ex) shenanigans.

I read this one in the Star and I laughed out loud. I was amused. But I felt no pity for the victim (the man).

The case occurred in Taman Selesa Jaya, Johor Baru early Monday morning. A woman allegedly splashed acid on her ex-husband - a 25-year-old police constable -- and his girlfriend at his (must have been their former marital) home.

Jamaluddin Mat Isa and his wife were divorced in May and was scheduled to get the relevant court documents after Hari Raya.

Earlier reports said that Jamaluddin and his girlfriend (also 25) were caught by his ex-wife, in a compromising position.

My guess is that Jamaluddin had been cheating on her while they were married and had been carrying on an affair with this girl. She never forgave him. Nor his mistress.

So, really, she must have pented up her emotions. I really really cannot blame her.

The Star interviewed this S.O.B. Of course, the poor ex-wife was arrested after the incident so no way could the Star interview her.

Jamaluddin had the cheek, the bloody gall to say that he had always known that his ex-wife would not leave him alone after he divorced her but he did not expect her to scar him and his girlfriend for life.

Stupid fool. He should have expected the worst-lah.

Here's the interview:

“We were downstairs for a while before we went upstairs to bed when I suddenly felt a burning sensation on my back.

“When I turned around, I saw my ex-wife splashing a solution which burnt my chest and hands,” he said yesterday when met at the Sultan Aminah Hospital here where he was warded for severe acid burns

His ex-wife also hurled abuses at his girlfriend and even waited in the house after the assault before police arrived and arrested her.

Jamaluddin said his girlfriend was also injured on the face, chest and thigh in the attack.

“She must have been waiting in the house when my girlfriend and I returned home after supper at about 4am,” said Jamaluddin, who has been with the police force for three years.

His married the woman last year but the union lasted only eight months.

“We got married after being in love and having a long distance relationship for several years before I joined the police force.

“I never imagined that she would be such a possessive wife who never allowed me to go out alone anywhere except when I was working.

“Once she tried to commit suicide by leaping from the fourth floor of some flats opposite my home as she believed I was having an affair because I came home late from work,” he said.

Jamaluddin said that he wanted to take his ex-wife for psychiatric help but she always insisted that she was fine.

Asked whether he would forgive her for what she has done, he said: “I will lodge a report after I am well and I never want to see her again.”

Jamaluddin said he last met her in court in June, adding that he hoped that his ex-wife would be locked away and be given psychiatric help.

Nusajaya OCPD Supt Abd Aziz Ahmad said the suspect was under remand.

If convicted of causing grevious hurt, she could face a maximum jail term of 20 years and a fine or whipping.

Poor woman. Damn her cheating ex-husband. He must have driven her crazy.

We all can say - "oh..why? was it worth it?"

I don't know the lady but I'm sure she's laughing all the way to jail.
Puas hati!

And, folks...that surely is life as it is. Meow.

Akhil Hayy And Waheeda :Lies And Deception

When I read about the alleged affair of "penceramah bebas"/singer Ustaz Hayy (Akhil Hayy) and (also singer) Waheeda some time in May, I knew there was a lot of smoke there.

Gossip like that don't just come out of nowhere.

I knew that they must be having an affair and are just denying it all.

First off, I wanted to puke. To wretch it all out. You know, I've heard this before. An affair explodes and the two in question deny like nobody's business.

Akhil (he should be banned from using the honorific "ustaz". How dare he?) was accused of having an affair with Waheeda with whom he was doing a TV show.

It was no less than his own (now ex) wife Maizawati Zainal, 33, who revealed the affair.

The whole hullaballoo was in May and got a lot of publicity, mainly in the Malay tabloids. Fodder for them surely.

Both Akhil and Waheeda denied the affair and never failed to invoke Allah SWT's name. Obviously trying to dupe the Malay public with their honest-to-good image.

I hate that about these people. Waheeda, trying to look so pure and good with her demure tudung image when in fact she was having an affair with someone's husband.

Needless to say, Akhil and Maizawati (they have two children - Siti Nur Maisarah and Mohd Syarif Idayatullah) finally divorced.

And needless to say, Akhil, 40 and Waheeda, 31 tied the knot. So much for "tidak tidak, kami tiada hubungan apa-apa, hanya kawan"...Baah. You can fool some people some of the time, you dishonest ngoks.

The adulterous man and his mistress got married on Sunday (Aug 16) in Kuala Kubu Bharu.

This is what the two-timing Akhil said:
"Ana (I, in arabic --sheesh) harap semua kemelut dan gosip dinoktahkan dengan ijabkabul...."

Hah! Are we stupid, or what? We knew all along you were having this dangerous liaison with little Miss pure-in-tudung. You guys never fooled us.

Now, you can tell everyone THAT? What kind of ustaz are you? How dare you pretend to be so holy.....?

But...well. All the water is under the bridge now (and what kind of saying is that?) .

Let's wish these two itchy people a good life and may he not have another affair.....MEOW!

Is Ma Babe A Closet (Serious) Flirt?

I don't know why I sometimes have nagging pangs of suspicions about Antonio. It's not that I'm basically a very suspicious person. But for some odd reason sometimes, I feel my antennae just go up and I start looking things up.

They can be in blogs or facebooks.

And that was just it.

See, I don't usually check out Antonio's facebook. It was just that one day when I decided to just take a peek -- a very long peek -- into his facebook.

And then I found 2 things -- a photo of a "strange" unknown woman in a wet sexy dress and flirtatous exchanges between Antonio and this woman.

I did the usual. My deathly curiosity more than piqued. Inflamed. I clicked on the photo and found out who she was.

Did she tag the photo to Antonio? Or did Antonio take the photo? The second possibility seems, well, impossible.

The first was more plausible because that's how people get photos in their facebooks. If that were so, then why would this woman (not known to me) tag a sexy photo of hers to Antonio?

You don't send a sexy photo of yourself to a man you hardly know unless he asked you to and you must kinda like each other to bother.

So, what was going on?

And the sexy flirtatious exchanges? you must have something going there for that to happen.

So, tell me?

Are all men like Antonio when confronted?

I asked him who she was. He couldn't lie there because the details are in her facebook. I wanted to know how and where they met.

Then I asked what the fuck was that all about.

Stupid inane "explanations". He was so pathetic I wanted to kick him in his face.

Not serious conversation between them in facebook, he stuttered. No baby, but that was some serious flirtation there.

Am I stupid (like you) or what?

He swore there was nothing going on. Never was and never will be.

Does he think I am as stupid as he is? What a dickhead.

That kind of going on shows that you're "close" enough to be flirting. And that's just on facebook. Smses? Blackberrying?

I can't say that things are good between us. I don't trust him at all. I've come to the conclusion that he is a bastard of the first degree.

Yeah, he loves me. But he is a pathological flirt. Should have realized it when we first met.
Them eyes. Yeah...them eyes. Playboys have 'em.

I haven't decided to kick him out of my life. Yet.

But, he'll pay. He'll have to. MEOW!

Aaaw, Mel! Just Another Hollywood Husband!

When Mel Gibson and his wife (of umpteenth years) threw in the towel and called it quits, I was crestfallen.

I mean, here was a Hollywood hunk who managed to be faithful to his wife and mother of his six ( I think) kids amid all the temptation in tinseltown.

I took my hat off for this man. I thought -- hey, not bad. He could stay good for his wife and kids.

I suppose Mel Gibson was able to go on just for as long as his libido - and ok ok, his heart -- allow.

Mel Gibson is just another Hollywood husband. He bites the dust.

Why I am disappointed -- and I know I shouldn't be -- is that all around him were marriages falling apart at the slightest excuse. He remained with wife , Robyn. And Robyn with him, through thick and thin. In sickness and in health.

Of course, he has denied that his divorce was caused by his affair with this younger woman. Aaah....they all say that!

The girlfriend is a stunner of a belle from Eastern Europe. Couldn't resist her, could you?
Damn!

Men!

Here's the story:

It's official: Mel Gibson's girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant.

The actor confirmed the news during a taping of NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno to air tonight.

"I guess Im 'Octo-Mel,'" says Gibson, who already has seven kids with his wife of 28 years, Robyn.

Robyn filed for divorce six weeks ago amidst speculation that Grigorieva, a singer on Gibson's record label, was expecting a child.

"My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and weve been separated ever since then," Gibson tells Leno. "These things happen. It's unfortunate, it's sad, but you know she is an admirable woman -- we still got kids together, we're friends.

"Look," Gibson continues. "When it's all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I'm to blame. If you're inclined to judge, put it here."

Gibson also says his separation from Robyn had nothing to do with Grigorieva, whom he didn't meet until 2008.

When asked by Leno if they would wed, Gibson says: "Why would you get married twice?"

According to reports, Grigorieva is in her second trimester and due this fall.
Grigorieva, 38, and Gibson, 53, came out publicly as a couple at the April 29 premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Los Angeles.

The duo became close after Grigorieva was hired to compose a song on Gibson's thriller, Edge of Darkness, which filmed last summer in Massachusetts.

American Idol 2009 -- And The Dark Horse Wins

Or you can call him the underdog.

Kris Allen is this year's American Idol, beating favourite Adam Lambert.

He must be the underdog Simon Cowell was referring to earlier this season.

I don't know what to say except that I think he's got zillions of sympathy votes. Although I know that as the season progressed, he drew a growing fan base.

The guy is likeable. Sweet.

He was probably more shocked than anyone else when Ryan announced his name.

Don't get me wrong. I like the guy but I think he pales in comparison to Adam.

To me, an idol has got to fulfill a host of criteria. He or she should be able to sound good on record and has potential to be great performer.
Adam Lambert fits all.

Kris is a good singer, but I think he is in the mediocrity league....
God, he doesn't even think he can sing so well.

That said, I believe that this dark horse won over more and more fans over time because he began to shine and displayed his "character" and "personality".

Perhaps, his simplicity and down-to-earth-ness count.

Yeah...being modest, humble and understated is his strong point, if you know what I mean.

Oh well. Although my money was on Adam :ambert, I did reckon that Kris might just get the crown.

An upset win did play in my mind.

I suppose, you may think you know who's going to win, but God disposes!

What else can I say....

Do read THIS.

American Idol -- Why Adam Shouldn't Be In The Running

Very odd that me, Witchbroo, finds the pull of American Idol so irresistible. God help me.

I'm gonna get to the point here. Won't be explaining why I'm semi-addicted to this season's AI. Perhaps because there are some real great talents there.

My 17 year-old niece, Zuleika, has been following AI since its first season. So, she's kind of an AI pro viewer.

On Wednesday, Zuli and her friends camped at her place to watch American Idol.

They are all Matt Giraud's fans. Ok ok. That's so simplistic. They are all of the five finalists' fans!
From Wednesday, they reckon they're going to have a very teary ride.

They are all in a dilemma becasue they did not want any of the five to fall. At the same time, they are realistic.

"Someone is gonna go home tomorrow," I told them -- Zuli, Erica, Samantha, Ai Lin and Jeya.

"No no, Aunty Jee. No no...sob sob sob," Zuli wept.

OMG! Is she nuts or what? Hahaaa...I'm a fine one to be yapping like that.

Here's my point and what I really want to say.

THAT Adam Lambert cannot be a contestant in American Idol.

BECAUSE -- he is in a class of his own. He is up there. He's a star ALREADY. He is damn damn good.

I know he was in the bottom three - no, gsap, it was bottom 2 -this week. But I think that's just unlucky, a one-off episode.
There's always going to be a first time for everyone.
Walking down the stairs the way he did must have irked America. Click HERE.

Adam lambert has already got it going for himself and American Idol can no longer be a platform for him to propel his career. He should be taken out NOW and be given a record deal.

Okay. I've said my peace so I don't have to hold my peace no more.

And by the way, When Matt was dunked out on Thursday, Zuli got sick. Really ill. No, not Swine Flu....just a bug. The Matt-Got-Dropped bug.

Malaysian Socialites -- Are They For Real?

Take it from me, people. Some of our socialites are really trashy. In the way they dress and the way they behave.

I'll tell you why. You just can't take the "jinjang, or the "shanty-ness" out of them.

Take it from me. I know what class is. What breeding is. I mean, just sitting beside an OKB (orang kaya baru) is enough to demonstrate the clear divide between style and trash, elegance and gaudiness.

No, folks. Our socialites are not for real. Okay. Many of them aren't. The genuine McCoys you can tell.

Indeed, you can tell them apart from the manufactured baru-kahwin-orang-kaya ones.

I was talking on the phone with a certain royalty recently. Someone I went to boarding school with in England.

We were talking about a party she went to recently and she was jaw-dropping appalled to see the manufactured glitziness of some of the ladies. Young newly-titled ladies whose husbands (also young) just got millions of ringgit in projects along with a "dato" for good measure.

They were dressed so "loudly", the room was swirling and dizzying that my friends almost fainted.

Blondies almost all of them, boobs (ok ok...cleavages) to show. and designer this and that from head to toe, it was obscene.

There was no elegance at all. Everyone was trying to outdo one another.

"No class, you know. Not that anyone should try but I think they tried too hard. Oh well, I'll know not to attend any of these mad functions next time," my royal girlfriend told me.

I know what she's saying. Being a great people-watcher and knowing a lot of KL people, I know that most of our socialites marry into wealth, not class.

You know that the kind of politics that we have here, we have so many newly-created millionnaires. I mean just look at their houses.

These status symbols are ugly structures mirroring the owners' poor and vulgar taste.

Well, enough said.

Malaysian socialites. Now that's a misnomer.

SIMON COWELL, You Da Man!

If I were American, young and can sing a tune, I'd definitely try out for American Idol. Imagine the possibilities?

Instant dream careers have been made from American Idol. Think Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, David Archuleta, David Cook.......and, of course, Jennifer Hudson.

So, have you been keeping up with the show?

Truth be told, and honest to God, I am no fan of the show. But, I must say that I am completely amazed by the magnitude of its popularity so much so that thousands, year in, year out, want to have a shot at it, a shot at fame!

I totally understand.

In fact, I so understand why so many people with zero talent insist that they should be shortlisted. That is so totally insane.

And they blame Simon Cowell for their failure to launch!

As we know, Brit Simon is by now a certified BAD GUY on the panel of judges. This is absolutely unfair.

I find that people easily hit him because, well, he is THE bad guy, isn't he? So let him take the blame for you not making the cut.

Simon says it to you face. Uncensored and usually what you do not want to hear. The truth, baby.

I find that I am usually in agreement with him. Randy Jackson is truthful, Kara DioGuardi is too and of course, dear Paula Abdul is sweet. They don't lie to the contestants.

It's just that Simon is....BLUNT. Doesn't mince his words.

And they don't like it.

You'd think that the three Americans would be blunt. But no...it's the Englishman who is. And he makes no apologies for his bluntness.
His honesty, as he puts it.

That's why I like him. Because he does not give anyone false hope. But when you're good, he will tell you so.

I was able to catch the auditions on TV, for some quirky reason. There were so many unbelievably stupid people who really thought they could sing! And they got so manic and mad when Simon told them that they could not.

I must say, though, that those who were shortlisted were generally polite and decent kids.

When they could not make it to the next round, they were disappointed, but they took it well and thanked the judges. Well brought-up American kis, I must say.

So, who is your favourite?

For me, I'm torn between Adam Lambert and rocker Allison.

And Simon is still DA MAN for me! Yes!

Dumbing Down in American Idol Auditions

Like really really down, it's unbelievable.
I'm no fan of the American Idol series. But I can get hooked because of the incredible drama during the coast-to-coast auditions.

I am convinced that after the bona fide geek William Hung whose down-to-earth honesty shot him to fame seven shows ago, many Americans have found the successful formula to instant fame. Simply by being really bad at auditions and showing a Godamm attitude.

Can anyone really be so stupid as to think that or she can sing when obviously there is NO talent at all in the first place?

It is unbelievable. And the drama that followed.

I am also convinced that a lot of them are acting students playing out roles in the auditions.

But oh well. It was all so entertaining.

Cheers! Here's to another bleah bleah season.

Gimme This Job!

They don't call this the world's best-paying job without a damn good reason. And I want the job!

But, damn! I am not fully qualified.

I can do everything but I am not a good swimmer. I swim but not good enough for what the job requires. Sob sob sob!

Hmmm. Come to think of it! Thank God! A damn good reason for not applying. For not qualifying.

Anyway, if you guys are interested, applications are accepted until February 22.

Here's the story;

SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" -- earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.

In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.

"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.

"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."

All About Siti Nurhaliza And Datuk K

Although I am not a fan of Siti Nurhaliza, I do think she can sing, and awesomely too. She has a powerful melodious voice. Lovely singing voice. She is pretty to boot. Even without make-up, mind you.

In this country, you have to be pretty to REALLY succeed as a singer. Siti is blessed with good looks and so you can see why she is hugely popular.

She was also one of the very few female Malay artistes who seemed to have kept her reputation intact, scandal-free until, of course, grande dame Sharifah Aini got into the picture with allegations of some unsavoury behaviour and hocus-pocus.

By the time fans of Malay entertainment got an idea of what was going on and the fact that Siti was not what she had appeared to be -- that sweet innocent girl-next-door, Siti was already a household name and making mega Ringgit from her singing career. She is a smart girl, endorsing beauty and all sorts of products and investing in business using herself as the BRAND.

She couldn't have cared less.

While all that was going on with Siti denying allegations of romantic links with a married Datuk, she was actually involved with this married man. A certain gentleman the ever-hungry Malay media dubbed as Dato K. No, not Dato Kalimullah. He's uglier than Dato K.

Dato K was then married to a Kedah royalty, with who he has children.

So Siti really is a home-wrecker. She denied all this, of course. Plain fact -- she was having an affair with Dato K while he was married. But, in case you're spewing yucks at me, I am not using it against her. Hell, it's not my husband she was involved with.

Then they Dato K took Siti to be his lawfully-wedded wife. Their wedding was one of the biggest circuses I had ever seen, and attended.

A fairytale wedding? Can you hear me roar? Ummm, puke?

Be that as it may, Siti is mega popular not just in this country but across the seas. She's a big name in Indonesia.

Today, Friday January 9...the newspapers played up Siti's story about how internet reports of marital problems have affected the couple. It seems happy hubby has married another and has a child with that other.

He has vehemently denied. She stands by her man. No way that hubby is unhappy and has found happiness with another.

Hubby said that all this was too much for him, affected his business. Even wanted to ask Siti to quit singing. Siti has even considered that option.

I tell you --- why should Siti even be asked to quit singing. She is so financially independent because of her successful singing career.

Anyway, I pretty am well-connected. I do socialize when I feel like it.
All I can say is I hope Siti has made a good man out of this Dato K because he was one man I'd stay well away from.

There's a Malay word to describe him.
Never mind!

Siti and her beloved have asked people to leave them alone, to stop gossiping about them.

Siti, Siti, Siti......that will be very difficult. You are Malaysia's darling.

Take all this in your stride, Siti. You have stood tall all this while.

Forget the fact that there's no smoke without fire. Go on believing in hubby because that will keep you sane.

Whatever it is --- don't give up your career!
