As long as you're talking, you are hosting?

I think I don't have thick Malay blood running inside my vein but occasionally I do wanna watch Malay programs on tv. But as soon as Jimmy Shanley starts to say something, I feel the need to escape and never return. The pronunciation, the tone of the voice, the pace, everything is just wrong and immature. I beg Astro to not let Jimmy host another show unless he's trained professionally! The opportunity to appear on tv and mutter some words using a microphone does not make him a host. It just makes him a person who appears on tv.

Not everybody can be a host. Winning a reality show does not automatically entitle you to host a show. Maybe they make the decision to boost the rating but have you seen Mawi lately? This man have lost his mojo, he can't even speak like normal people do? In Jejak Mawi, Asmawi Ani acts, terribly! His eyes roll frantically as if possessed and I'm on the verge of my seat waiting for him to finish his every sentence every time, it seems so difficult he looks like he's constipated. You are supposed to host, man! What are you doing acting?

During weekends, there's Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan, where the host jalan-jalan and cari makan hosted by Serina, daughter of Chef Wan. I'm sure there is other information apart from the name of dishes, the prices and the muttering of the word "sedap". Do some homework, girl! If to compare you and your father, you are like a waitress and your father of course, a renowned chef. And the list goes on... some of the so called experienced hosts also do amateurish gestures and mistakes during hosting. It's a catastrophe in our entertainment world, I must say.

Knowledge of the subject matter is the key to good hosting. And presentation is the basic talent a host should possess. When a host saying "what else to ask?" in the middle of the show, then the host is toast! Ok, I'm switching my channel to E!

Sex is not for everybody, apparently.

On Monday, exemplary teacher who just won Tokoh Nilam award, Mr Alias Ismail revealed to The Star the secret to his boundless energy during the day. 'Surprisingly' he likes to have sex with his wife everyday! Interestingly however, this revelation has turned into an uproar and anger outbursts amongst Facebook community. As an exemplary teacher, he shouldn't have revealed anything inside the bedroom, according to majority of the comments. People do not like to hear about sex! Like he has nothing else to say!

I find this reaction a bit conventional. I'm not all for it but again in my opinion, he is entitled to say what he wanted to say. It's not like he revealed so much details in the interview, it's not like he's into S&M, he just likes to have sex with his wife. What's wrong with that? It doesn't make him any less human than other people out there. Many are pretty quick to judge, I reckon. Perhaps it's our culture, we like to put everything under wrap rather than be open about. If we have a gay sibling, don't you dare let other people know. If your husbands have an affair, keep it silent unless he plans to legitimize the relationship, then you can shout NO as loud as you can.

Are we saying the other teachers who are not talking about sex are much better teachers than this one? Who knows what's going on in their closets. Give the guy a break. He's done a good job to be awarded such a nobel award. So he slipped the three letter taboo word in the interview to spark our morning... we don't have to condemn him like he's a sex maniac.

If a leader can have a sex tape with another woman, why can't a teacher say that he likes having sex with his wife?
