im talkg abt Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood. (i seriusly didnt knw she's alredi a Tan Sri)
ystrday, i read in nst an article abt her. i @times did brag abt hw she's an assuntarian, cz im too! (wait, i shld say i ws an assuntarian rite? bt dats wht happen, once an assuntarian, alwiz an assuntarian! ~im so gonna blog abt my hi-skool yrs @assunta~). whn she ws on tv, i'll tell ne1 nx 2me 'do u knw she's n assuntarian?' n then i'll go kembang setaman jz bcz i went 2d same skool as she did. n whn d company im workg with initiated a fund 4gaza, i suggestd 2 send d more than 100k 2 Mercy. bt dat ws it. no more. bt ystrday's article somehow touched my heart so so much. i didnt realize we had so much in common othr than b'g an assuntarian.
whn i ws do'g a degree in uni, i did international relations. i rmbr 1of my lcturer wantd 2knw abt our ambitions. whn it came 2my turn, i said i wanna walk hand in hand with angelina jolie do'g UNHCR works (u knw wht's ironic? nw im do'g international relations not in UN, bt here in d company im workg with. my twin on d othr hand is workg w UN~undp malaysia~. my twin Meme, who never in her life ever had d dream or not in zillion years ever thought of workg in UN, she *and me included* who laughs at her own ignorance especially abt international relations jargons, is b'g paid in USD by UN. not me, who took up spanish as my third language, n mandarin as my fourth so UN h/o will b interested if ever i applied 4a job thr, whch i never did n both languages is very, very rusty nw dat i think im never go'g 2apply cz b'g fluent in only 2 languages of which one is not even UN's official language wont help. unless if i wanna work @d UN malaysia ofc like my twin does. hmm.. now dats a thought..) aftr readg Dr Jemilah's article i knw, i ws so stupid! i mean, angelina jolie?? im sorry angie, im moving on, ive met some1, she's closer @home, i've jz overlooked her all dis while (wait a min, she's gone 2 new york last night 2start a new job, she's no longer closer @home..) on d othr hand, Dr Jem!!! i love u!
she's so noble! n down to earth.. 1of d reason she stepped down frm Mercy bcz she realized dat d rest of d world is relating Mercy with Dr Jemilah. she touched so many hearts all over the world. but she created Mercy for Malaysia, she didnt want it to be Mercy Malaysia Jemilah. how unselfish of her! cz u knw, some ppl wants 2b attached 2 a plc 4so long, its like synonym alredi, whn u mention a person's name(im not gonna give example, hihi!), we'll link it with such n such organisation. not her. im reli wishing her d best of luck! its not gonna b easy, heading one of UN branch in New York, being a female from Asia, a muslim, a tudung wearing one in fact, its gonna b a great challenge. n with dat challenge comes opportunity as well. cz its time dat she can show d world d muslim way of life, of which humanitarian efforts come close 2our hearts if not directly, we do it in othr way possible. U knw wht, whn we didnt manage 2acheive wht we tried 2pursue, its so much serene 2knw dat some1 else is do'g it n we feel so happy 4them. n Dr Jem, although i envy d life u hv(im sure u'll envy mine as well.. i hv a darling soulmate..!), im not sure im as brave n determined as u are, bt i m so so pleased dat u r do'g dis. u r n incredible woman, n hear dis world; Dr Jem is my idol! not oprah, not angie, not sonia gandhi. (owh my god!nw i realized, ive been a feminist whn it comes 2 choosing n idol!)
