Melayu Masa Kini - Part 1
I am an observer. Hey... I am not blowing my own horn,beb.. but that is a reality. I like to observe things. I like to observe people. I like to observe places. I like to observe a lot of things. My point is that I LIKE TO OBSERVE.
This entry is not for me to criticize anyone. It is also not for me to comment or condemn anyone. Ni cuma pandangan gua dari pemerhatian gua melalui hari-hari yang gua lalui. Gua pun orang melayu.So, I don't expect this entry to be bias. Gua admit,gua pun one of them jugak yang buat one or more things yang gua komen kat sini. So, jangan terasa lah kalau ada sesiapa yang terkena. I do not mean to direct this to anyone. Just a plain entry...:)
Since I am a Malay, what I am writing today is what we Malay love to do. Ada pros & cons in the contents of my writing, it is how you apprehend it. Bagi gua, this is a free country. We have the liberty and freedom of speech. Kalau any readers terasa, I ask for forgiveness. Kalau you all have anything to say, do leave a note in my comment box okay?... Anyway, Happy Reading.
1. Melepak kat Kedai Mamak
Dah jadi satu tradisi dah sekarang, lepak kedai mamak. Breakfast, lunch time, after work, supper. You name it. Mana-mana pergi pun, mesti ada at least one or two mamak shops easily accessible. A glass of teh tarik, an interesting topic to talk about and you can end up sitting for hours. Really time-killer lah!!! From current news, politics,entertainment, babes to global issues. You name it. Macam-macam yang boleh diborakkan kat kedai mamak nie.
Kadang-kadang tu, even high profile punya orang pun lepak sini. Closing on any deal or contract pun boleh buat kat sini. Discuss pasal departmental issues, cerita masalah company pun boleh buat kat kedai mamak. Alah, my GM last time pun buat macam tu. Agghh!! What the heck, diorang pun boleh, what's more layman macam gua ni.
Penat-penat aje kerajaan promote Teh tarik can cause stroke/sakit jantung, gua tengok, bilangan pelanggan kat kedai mamak tak pernah berkurangan walau sedikit pun. Lagi ramai ada lah. I admit, I am also a big fan of mamak. Tiap-tiap petang mesti lepak kat kedai mamak. Dah turun-turun office aje ada 2 biji kedai mamak depan office. So, lepak lah over there with my colleagues berjam-jam lamanya. Nak pergi Coffee Bean selalu, really can't afford it. So, dapat lah mamak punya frappucino. Nasib baik tak ada ice blended. Kalau tidak, sure gua order that aje.
What are the advantages of sitting in mamak shops for hours? Hmmm... easy man... Cheap drinks... variety of food and drinks choices, open space, free air, free view (lebih-lebih lagi kalau babes yang lalu!!) and the list goes on. Tak payah la nak order spaghetti atau lasagne kat sini. Memang kena gelak lak kan.. Kalau roti canai or mee goreng mamak tu, memang mudah.
2. Handphone
Ni lagi satu trend nowadays. With the vast changes of technology, and thousands of models of handphones to choose from, dah jadi very normal to see anyone using handphone lah. Those with cameras, mp3,bass, video cam, notes, movie player, GPRS, WAP, MMS.. lengkap lah. Dah macam portable personal computers pulak.
Mmg dah craze for handphones lah sekarang. Kat office gua pun, macam-macam jenis handphone yang kawan-kawan gua ada. Just name it, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola... semua ada.. games, movie, lagu mp3,...some additional add-ons yang menambahkan kecanggihan telepon. kadang-kadang tu, sampai kita tak boleh nak cope with the new models that is coming out in the market. Yelah, every 3 months, mesti ada new models yang keluar. Dapat-dapat Nokia. dari yang leper, nipis, tebal, kecik, besar,semua ada.
Kalau dulu, phone yang ada game, memang hot lah. Kagum giler.Jakun pun ada. Tapi sekarang, tak sampai 6 bulan pun your model can be obselete. Memang competition among the vendors to catch the marketlah. Different market,different model lah kah. Diorang ni pun bijak juga. For youngsters, diorang keluarkan yang boleh main mp3,siap pasang Bass lah.. for professionals,diorang keluarkan pulak macam Nokia COmmunicatior that allows them to access the internet, guna Microsoft punya software.. macam-macam lah.
Macam tagline Nokia, Teknologi Insan... yang slack nye sekarang ni, dalam handphone, penuh dengan porn pictures lah, porn movies lah... access laman web lucah lah.. Heheh,... gua cakap orang, gua pun sama gak. Alah, pandai-pandai masing-masing lah nak guna macam mana kan. Lagi kita halang,lagik dibuat.. right?
Nasib baiklah Dato' Hishamuddin Hussein banned handphone usages in school. Bayangkan, buat darjah dua, Cikgu tengah mengajar mata pelajaran Pendidikan Islam. Tiba-tiba, keluar pulak ringtone lagu P.I.M.P ke. Naughty Girl ke. Mau terkezut hanjeng ustazah tu dibuatnya. Mengucap panjang lah ustaz-ustaz dan ustazah-ustazah tu nanti. Furthermore, kalau tak,makin kayalah si Ananda Krishnan,tokey Maxis tu nanti.
Gua bukan apa, masing-masing sekarang dah terkejar-kejar for the latest models. For me, no point you have the latest models tapi no airtime (if you are a pre-paid user) and if your bills are still due (for post-paid users). For me, as long as you can call out and receive calls,write and read sms, dah cukup dah.
Hehehe... Gua cakap orang, gua pun sama gak. I just can live without my handphones lah. It has become part of my life. Susah betul nak bergerak kalau tak ada. Dapat-dapat kalau ada kes emergency. Ye tak?
p/s : Currently, I am using Nokia N-gage QD & Nokia 3660.
3.KLCC
Hmm..... ni especially for those yang staying in the klang valley,selangor and KL lah. 6 years ago,masa gua first step my foot kat shopping complex yang begitu gah ni. Gua rasa peaceful sangat. Sebab apa, taman yang indah and nice fountain. Kalau gua lepak kat San Francisco Coffee, Starbucks @ Dome, rasa syok aje.. Kalau petang, dapat rasa cool breeze of wind.Chillin' out with my friends.
Sekarang, frankly speaking, gua dah malas nak lepak kat sana.Unless for a very important reason macam nak tengok movie or jumpa my friend,gua malas betul nak lepak kat sana. I would prefer to go to Midvalley. Lepak kat Chilli's ke... tengok wayang kat GSC ke.. Nak shopping pun murah. I seriously cannot afford Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren or Versus lah.
Banyak sangat kutu-kutu lepak kat sana. Mat rempit, budak-budak skin,grunge, blackmetal,bohsia-bohsia dan macam macam golongan sampah masyarakat lagi lah. Yang best nya, semua semua tu are our Malay teenagers. Budak-budak baru nak naik kata orang. Very hard for me to find Chinese or Indians lah yang macam tu. Yang berskirt pendek tu. I sometimes say to myself. Macam mana lah mak bapak diorang bagi keluar dengan pakaian macam tu rupa. Macam tak cukup kain aje. Entah-entah, keluar rumah, punya lah elok pakaian. Sampai aje kat mana-mana, masuk any public toilet,change clothes. WHO KNOWS, RIGHT?.. dah macam cameleon pulak.
Tu belum lagik yang rambut tercacak, jeans pendek, high boots. Just name it lah. Semua golongan manusia ada kat sana. kadang-kadang gua pun terkejut. Kalau lah ada pak haji,mak hajah masuk kat sana, mau mengucap panjang agaknya diorang ni. tengok bangsa sendiri. Again i stress.. SEMUA MELAYU tuh...
Very ironic. This is the malay teenagers nowadays. Terikut-ikut dek peredaran tamadun kat barat tu. Elok lah tu, Berkiblatkan barat. Cara pakaian, Cara hidup,semua lah. Come on lah guys, Gua pun masuk jugak Hard Rock dengan Planet Hollywood! Tapi my lifestyle are still the same. And I have NEVER EVER booze before. Bukan nak bangga diri, tapi my point is WE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO PUT A LIMIT IN EVERYTHING lah kan?

Editor's Quote : That's all for now lah ya. Next time gua akan post more lah. Ya... again, maaf kalau ada yang terasa.. Just something serious but funny..Jangan ada yang terasa ya...
