If you tell me that, you might as well go ahead and shoot me now! It's agony for me to keep secrets, you'd do better not to tell me anything and just keep me in the dark. But I'd like to think I'm getting better as I grow older; self control is an acquired virtue. Some people are natural clams, me, I have to work at it, real hard!
When I was growing up, I used to report everything that I'd seen and heard to anyone who made the mistake of even feigning interest, much to the chagrin of my family. Apparently I was so good at reporting that I was given a nickname, "RTM" that's Radio Television Malaysia!
When I grew up, I decided that since I'm such a natural in this, I'd just make it my career, and I became a legitimate reporter, first for the print, then as a broadcasting journalist. It was fun, receiving first hand information and then deciding what the public gets to know!
Now that I'm a mother of 3, much older and hopefully wiser, I've grown less inquisitive, no one's complaining though! I'm certainly no clam yet, but with time and practise, God willing, I just might get to hear myself being called a bivalve one day!
