A Minority Among The Majority

Tiada kaitan dengan tajuk dan isi karangan hari ini.

Most West Malaysians are sceptical about East Malaysians and vice versa. West Malaysians cakap orang Sabah Sarawak ni mundur, duduk atas pokok, pakai cawat dan macam2 lagi la. East Malaysians pula cakap orang Malaya ni racist, religion extremist, narrow minded. Sampai buat statement "Sarawak for Sarawakians".

Kamu tidak fikir ka, kalau orang semenanjung pun buat macam tu "West Malaysia for West Malaysians", macam mana dengan East Malaysians yang cari rezeki di semenanjung?

Bukan semua orang Malaya macam tu. Ada juga yang baik, open minded, boleh terima dan bergaul dengan kami East Malaysians yang di Semenanjung ni. Sepanjang hampir 10 Tahun saya di sini, ramai kawan2 semenanjung saya baik2. They are very curious about us so it is our responsibility to show them first hand our culture and tradition.

I have a Malay Muslim friend who likes Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and that whole sequel of movie. So if you have read the book or watch the movie, it's about Catholic Church. I did not read the book or watch the movie so I'm not sure how accurate the information is. But this friend of mine said he's very interested in Vatican, the process of pope selection and rambles on pontification, conclave etc etc etc. So i sat there and listened. He also asked if i attended Sunday School and stuff. So i told him all the process we go through in church (baptism, confirmation etc),the difference in various Christians denominations, and divorce is frowned upon in Catholic church and such. I think the narrow minded ones will think I'm trying to convert him (as if that's possible in Malaysia).

He just wanted to know in order to understand Christians better. And he is a practising Muslim.

Samalah macam saya tanya pasal agama Islam dan amalan2nya. Tidak bermaksud saya mau convert. Its for my knowledge so that I can understand them better.

I wish most Malaysians can be like him.

Mat Salleh Boyfriend Is Better?

I have known a lot of ladies who wanted a mat salleh/white/foreigner boyfriend. My partner-in-crime repeatedly chant this "scruffy look, biceps and tattoos are must." ahem. Sometimes it's like you strike a lottery if you managed to get a white boyfriend. It's like a trophy. Are local men not good enough? Where are all the good local man anyway? Why these girls wanted a foreign man? They said mat salleh are more romantic, respectful of woman and treat them as an equal. They are also more thoughtful and are generous with their public display of affection. My aunt married a British. On their 30th wedding anniversary, her husband got up early and bought her a bouquet of flower and a card. Such a simple gesture but not many man can do that. Even after 30 years of marriage, they still hold hands when they walked. I'm not saying local man are not good enough. There are still good ones around. I think it all depends on how they were brought u...

Sarawakians and Gardenia's bun obsession

Sarawakians And Gardenia's Bun Obsession Have you observed in the airport shop, people carrying baskets and plastics full of Gardenia's bread/buns? Or there's no more space left for your luggage in the overhead compartment of the airplane because it is stuffed with buns? Tiada space di overhead compartment itu memang mengundang kemarahan. These people are most definitely Sarawakians (my friends claimed Sabahans do that too). I don't know who started it but the obsession with Gardenia buns happened because there is no Gardenia in Sarawak. Why oh why. It's not like there are no good buns or bakeries in Sarawak. It's just that Gardenia has this sense of awe to it. like "These are not sold in Kuching you know." or "Bapak kamek beli tok dari KL nun, kitak tek ada?" or something like that...It's like a souvenir from KL. It's similar to the obsession of Peninsular Malaysians with Kek Lapis. Anyway, some of their bre...

Girls Talk: Is Dating A Good-Looking Guy Worth It?

*Speechless* We all like to look at someone good-looking. We all drool at them, we fantasize about them. You would be lying if you never wonder what it feels like to have a good-looking, gorgeous, handsome boyfriend/husband. I did. I always did. Macam mana la rasa kalau ada boyfriend/husband handsome? Untung la kalau ada boyfriend/husband handsome. Persoalannya, untung ka ada boyfriend/husband handsome? One of the thing about being with someone good-looking is it gave you an ego boost. There is something tangible about showing him off to everyone. something like "omg. how did you nail him? He's like the most eligible bachelor on earth! How lucky." Kembang hidung. It would be great if only a few people—trustworthy friends, important relatives, ex-boyfriends—could see how beautiful your other half is. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, and there are lots of other women, women who are more beautiful than you are, brazenly flirt with your man. Oh you know how co...
