Shsss, Don’t Tell Anyone...

It all begins with a TOP secret. Secret, as I define it, is something that you DON’T WANT people to know. Until you open your mouth and tell someone, and it’s not anymore a secret to the person you tell it to, but to the rest of the world, it IS still a secret. “Shsss, don’t tell anyone. Only you know about this”... and then there you go spilling the freaking bean. And then depending on how trustworthy your friend is, she would keep the secret as long as possible, until the history repeats itself. But this time, it’s between her and the third person. "Shsss, don’t tell anyone ah...”

I’m writing about this because I think that it’s something that everybody will admit, but they seldom want to think about it. But it’s okay, I’m through with the thinking. You guys see ahh... because of this freaking “Shsss, don’t tell anyone...”, the person who owns the “secret” to begin with, is the first to think that the thing he/she is trying to keep is STILL a secret to the rest of the world, except for the only friend that she decided to share it with. So she thought, only the two of them know. It’s different with the second person, because she told someone else about it and, so she knows that now there are 3 persons who know the secret.The chain just getting longer and longer, from one mouth to another. Just because of this freaking “Shsss, don’t tell anyone ahh...”, the WHOLE WORLD actually knows about the secret and the owner of the secret doesn’t even know about it. Hahahaahahahaha.

It doesn’t even have to be a secret. It can only be hearsays or gossips. You see for yourself how FAST the news spread around, as contagious as that! Especially the raunchiest gossips in town...you bet, it will arrive Euthopia in no time! Hahahaahahahaha. Euww... speaking of gossips. I lurvee the word gossips actually. Because I am also the type who WANTS TO KNOW. “Eh what? True ka? Oh like that ka? Woo...so teruk o kan. But are you sure? Haaa...all those stuff la. Who doesn’t love gossips? *Grinz.

But wait... What If... The gossips are about YOU??!!!!

Yes YOU!!!

My goodness! No kidding.

You may not be Siti Nurhaliza or some celebrity whose news people care to know, but yes, gossips about you are no exception bebeh! The worst part of all this is that...the gossips and news have undergone transformation from one mouth to another, and The secret begins this way. Si A cakap, “Eh you know ka, sia nampak ba si Twofivesix[256] minum2 oren jus sama ni satu lelaki yang familiar muka dia. Masa tu kira2 jam 3 ptg la gitu. Macam sopan juga la sia tinguk tu perempuan, dia pakai tu blouse and pants. Tapi sia rasa2 itu lelaki tu si anu la...alah, si anu ba. Ui, so dorang mimang ada apa2 pula tu kan?” Kali tinguk, bisuk2, si Y pula punya turn kasitau si Z. Begini sudah jadinya, “Ui, kau tau ka...dorang cakap si A yang nampak ni. Sia pikir si Twofivesix[256] ni gudgirl, tidak clubbing, tidak minum, kali tinguk, lugai2 ba dorang nampak dia clubbing tu hari. Baju diaa...huiyoo...betul2 kehabisan kain ba. Kau tau ka sepa sama2 dia? Huiyoo si anu baa...alaa, si anu tu ba. Buat barang nda tentu lagi tu, paluk2 and then grinding2 lagi time mabuk. Sampai dekat2 jam 2 pagi ba sia dengar2! Gila eh! Teruk kan?? Shsss...don’t tell anyone ah. Kita2 ja. Mati kita kalau ketauan.”

(Wait...sia mau ketawa lu kejap. Hahahaahahaahahahahahaahahahahha)

See? Apa macam rasanya? Can you handle it? Satu fakta yang telah dimanipulasi oleh kreativiti yang tidak bertempat. Hairan juga telinga manusia ni. Dari si A, passing punya passing, sampai di telinga si Z, sudah lain jadinya. Daripada org baik2, jadi suku sakat syaitan pula. *Lols. Berapa org yang sudah teraniaya dengan kelemahan sound system ni guys? Dicampur lagi dengan perasaan2 suka tengok org lain susah dan jatuh, lagi laaa menambah kepada perisa gossip liar yg tersebar. Have you once become a part of this chain? Iaitu yg mendapat berita dan passing kepada org seterusnya? Where does it go wrong? Are you sure BUKAN KAU yang kasi tune “lari sikit” itu cerita? Nah, teda sepa mau mengaku, confirm!

Sejak beberapa bulan ni, sia sudah terima macam2 berita itu ini, yang I don’t ask for, but people come to me and share it. I just listen. Guess what? At least sia dapat confirm yang ada beberapa kali I REFUSED to be part of this “spreading” chain. The story comes to me and I just keep quiet. At least, ada satu source sudah tutup, iaitu me myself. Itu cerita tidak la berterabur sangat bila sampai di peringkat si Z (iaitu gelaran untuk org yang tau cerita ni kemudian dari yg lain). Apa lagi kalau benda tu melibatkan perkara2 yang bukan setakat superficial untuk org simply boleh buat kesimpulan suka2 hati. Kesian la sama org2 YANG bakal teraniaya. Kalau itu perkara adalah berkaitan diri kamu sendiri, tentu kamu pun harap sangat yang org tidak akan sebar tu benda menjadi lagi teruk lagi. Wooo... ini ayat “Shsss, Don’t tell Anyone,” ni...betul2 bahaya, dan tidak buli pakai!! Hahahahahahahaha.

Eh wait wait... berbalik kepada cerita si A pasal si Twofivesix[256] tadi tu, belum habis ba tu. Actually, yang si A cakap itu pun sudah Tidak Betul ba!!! You guys know apa benda sebenar yang terjadi?

Sebenarnya hal itu TIDAK wujud pun bah. Jam 3 petang masa office, mana si Twofivesix[256] mau pegi minum2 itu masa. Lepas tu, everyone knows she drinks coffee, macamana pula boleh minum oren jus? Tu lelaki yang dorang cakap tu, entah sepa. Who cares sepa tu org, sedangkan kejadian tu sebenarnya Tidak pun wujud? Itu perempuan sebenarnya bukan pun si Twofivesix[256]!!!!!!

(Hahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha)

Kalau begini la ceritanya, betapa ruginya masa dan tenaga penyebar2 gossip sebab sebenarnya, tiada satu pun cerita yang dipassing itu berasas ba. U imagine ka satu rumah yang org cakap2 yang kununnya tersergam indah, tapak itu rumah pun sebenarnya tiada ba. The whole story totally kana buat2 ba dari mula sampai habis. Satu penyalahgunaan sistem penyampaian yang sangat kritikal.

My message is very simple my friends.

Elakkan further damage.

Jangan pecaya sangat mulut org :)

Persahabatan boleh putus, relationship boleh renggang, rumahtangga boleh hancur. Ini la antara akibatnya kalau terlampau percaya mulut orang.

Note: Dalam post sia bertajuk, “He said, The World Needs You” – sia ada cerita pasal rumahtangga uncle sia yang almost hancur, and how his wife had the tendency to commit suicide gara2 terlalu tertekan. Pasal apa? Semua berpunca daripada mulut orang. So kita belajar dari kesilapan.
