mindset

i seriously wanted to address this issue for quite sometime. tp harini nuz has just triggered my thoughts about this matter again.

i wonder why, when these days, i do my part of travelling here and there, going places, attending gigs and concerts, riding bicycle and jog at the park, and visit friends in several places, people would say,

waaah banyak jalan nampak? takde kerja ke?
but when i was in Malaysia, particularly in KL or particularly in sri kembangan, how come nobody commented me that way. i was everywhere, man.. those days. sometimes i'll be in seremban, or back in JB, or in Singapore, or in Bukit Bintang, or Kelana Jaya, or TTDI, or Damansara, or Cheras, or Gopeng, or Ipoh. or in Sabah, or Sarawak, or in Bali, in Kalimantan, or in Jakarta. Pegi rafting, rock climbing, paragliding, shopping, minum stabak, gossip and makan burger Seremban, snorkeling kat Bali, Sabah. takde plak org komen. apsal, ni semua bukan tempat lain ke? and back then, i still had a lot of work to be done. tp takkan tak jalan kot? well same here then. ada ke org amek gambo kerja? (hmm maybe ada, but too bad, that's just not me la kan?)
so next question. when i said, nanti later i kuar minum with some friends, and people would say,
waaah, ko dah minum (implying to drinking alcohol, that is) ke sekarang?
and i was like, ler, masa dulu pon kat Malaysia, kat Sri kembangan, i kuar jugak minum. how come nobody thought i went out drinking alcohol then? what makes my statement now and then different then? the countries? but that wont change me, no? i still kuar minum la. even if my frens do consume alcohol, doesn't make me another alcohol consumer, ye tak?
so tell me, what is wrong? apsal mindset kita jadi camni? apsal, corrupted sgt ke duduk Europe? kalo duduk Tripoli, tak pegi jalan2 ke? tak kuar minum ke? kamon la kan.
just think about it.
hmm.

ya betul mindset org mesia (typically org kg mcm i) kalau kata minum di overseas first thing come into my mind msti pk minum alkohol until its says/proven otherwise.sama la jugak kalau org kata guys pi clubbing msti nk minum or cr chics,girls pulak bese nk menari je.maafkan la mindset org2 yg x penah kuar mesia ni.hehe-nujuii

Nuz, no offense but u just triggered my mind la of writing this piece.mmg dah lama ingat nak tulis.

anyways, like i said, its not an issue if the person pernah kuar mesia or not, yg pernah kuar pon mentaliti camtu gak.

tp like u said, itu kot mentaliti melayu kot. bab minum tu agaknye associated dgn europe kot. kalo i kat doha, kata nak gi minum, org konfem bajet i gi minum teh. walhal bleh aje gi minum todi kan? hmm betul tak? :-?

yg penting, you tau baik buruk. amalkan makruf, jauhi mungkar.

orang kalau bercakap mematahkan semangat, mencalar hati, senang je.

hanya kita yg tau kita siapa.

i hear you tp dah memang adat resam org kita ni suka stereotypekan org. contohnyer:
kalau free hair = social
kalau social = x virgin
kalau kuar clubbing = mesti mabuk
kalau ada bestfren lelaki = fu bu (or f*ck buddy)
mmg annoying tp we got no choice but to bear with it la, gf...
mentaliti org kita dah mmd mcm tu, caner elit pun status, stereotyping is like our 'thang' ;)
chillax, gurl...

biar je ape org nak cakap. doubt we can change the mind (or close their mouths) of everyone else. being someone who's always been misjudged by ppl, i choose to only listen to those who matters to me. if they don't matter, then what they say doesn't matter either.

boleh mati tau nak puaskan hati semuorg...kenape nak miserable over ppl who don't even matter..betol tak?

tapi bila ppl we care yang come up with such persona of us..that is a different matter...

best thing..do what u like as long as u knw who u are and what ur doing (n why u do it too..never do sthing just to prove a point to someone or anyone..the point never gets proven and u just get urself in trouble..)

panjang pulak komen aku..dah..u take care fiqa!

you mentioned seremban first.. but i'm flattered wpun i'm sure it wasn't outing with me that triggered that.. sbb bila pulak kita makan burger di seremban. tp part minum di stabak tu mmg all the time, everywhere lah kan...

I sangat paham... masa study kat UM, cuti 3 bulan, org tak cakap pulak tak study kan? masa I kat OZ, summer holiday 3 bulan semua orang cakap "banyaknye jalan... pegi OZ jalan2 ke study?". Haha...mindset orang kita yang tak boleh ubah.

sorry i tak baca comment org lain diatas(coz actually skrg nk blajar tulis blog jer, but terbaca so nk komen la skit) so maybe.. erm u know la k.
i think ur fren just say that maybe coz they dont wanna miss the event. maybe u cakap that dalam tersirat, so they just ask.. ye la.. tempat berubah, inikan orang .. kan? or maybe they hope u akan minum gak, coz actually diorang pon peminum arak gak(cuma u tak tau) so, they can invite u join the club kekekkek~ or maybe they actually know u are that kinda person .. who talk n travel a lot, love to accompany friends ... and etc,and they actually believe it is not weird at all for u to travel a lot n wont be a alcohol drinker, but they just say it coz they are used to hear that from they parents n friend back at old days.. ntah la.. ye la kot :p

ape ko merapu ni soulecter? haahah.

anyways friends, i have to agree to all. it's just our mindset.

beebs, i hear u. pelik kan. Sem break in UM org tanak tahu pon kita pegi mana. tp Sem break overseas, sume nak tahu. walhal tempat tu as near as seremban aje pon. contohnye. lol.

klynn, indeed semban i thought of u first, then the burger with amiri. heh.

sasha, i have to agree. in the end only the people that matters aje i nak dgr pendapat. but then again, pasal yg mattered ni jugak la ada weird mindset, in the end, i pekakkan telinga. buat bodo aje. malas nak respon. bleh? huhu.

imelda dean, u r so right. like all guys frens are FuBus la katenye kan. they cant imagine platonic relationship exist in msia. heheh.

shaq, cakna tu maksudnya ape? serius i taktau. :D

shahsulong, well i tak kata la i ni baik sgt ida. i ni merapu jugak. tp i mmg tak paham mindset yg jump into conclusion ni. kalo brani, tanye direct la kan. hahahah.tp serius, u got a point. i cuba la jadi org yg baik. tp i masih ada BANYAAAAAAAAAAK kelemahan.

sumpah gua bukak blog ni nak tanya pasal Tripoli alih-alih baca entri ni terus ada sebut pasal Tripoli. eh kasitahu lah your friend in Tripoli. Since yesterday dah mula kerja di Tripoli ni. Sorry tak dapat e mail. do not reply here or in my blog. use my gmail. wait! i'm living in Tripoli, tak pegi jalan2 pun, sebab baru sampai dua hari n belum sempat keluar minum lagi. so i belum corrupted lagi lah kah kah kah.
