Six words on... and to be six again...

Chin Huat, before he was arrested under the Sedition Act.

From The Nutgraph, where he is editor:
Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's genius, the Six Words On... section challenges readers to give us their comments about a current issue, contemporary personality or significant event in just six words.

The idea behind the section is to get readers engaged in an issue that The Nut Graph identifies, while having fun and being creatively disciplined — being concise is harder than ranting out a 1,000-word comment.

Black Day For Malaysia: 1Malaysia My Foot!!!
No, this is not an example of ‘Six Words on’ but actually Nurul Izzah’s latest post. But it must have crossed people’s mind after what happened at the State Assembly sitting in Ipoh yesterday. For Six Words On, I would attempt to put it as, ‘1Malaysia: how was that for starters?’

Anyway, there are already so much written on yesterday’s fiasco, might as well look at something funny instead:

To Be 6 Again...
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a
chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again?'

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you retard!!!!'

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
