Distributing Daging KorbanI have like a whole storage of stories abt pple being amazed looking at me haha all the funni2 reactions once recollected always i think, is a bag of laughs. Like how the makcik canteen at engine who initially refused to believe i was Malay"Cik, nasi makan. (You want rice? Eat here?). Ahhh letak ayam kicap. (Chicken with soy sauce?). Sayur kobis ngan telur..(Vegetable and fried egg). Brape cik? ($2)''.....and den my fren will say, "cik dier melayu lah!"and den it will dawn upon her...."Melayu? lahhh cik ingat dier cine.....patutlah bole cakap melayu!"
and of coz i wasnt spared any different treatment as i made my rounds to distribute daging korban haha my dad drove, while i navigated and den went to the houses to give the daging and letter etc. So, i went to this house, the door was open and some of the house occupants saw me...i said 'Assalamualaikum..." and den i heard "whispers"..."ade budak cine kat luar...yah, baik2 eh entah ape dier nak". And mcm biase kasi muke selamba...i juz said i was from jamiyah nak kasi daging korban. den..."lar, Melayu....cik ingat cine mane tah tadi....terima kasih eh nak eh..."
OR another one....belom sempat beri salam, dis guy was shouting to his mum, "Ma, ma ade order ape2 ker? Ni ade budak cine kat luar"
The other time i was helping my fren do a 'race' interview with my dad, i asked if my dad would declare his race/identity? and he said no he would not. But i beg to differ. Wen dealing with Malays, proclaiming dat u are a Malay will result in a reciprocation of goodwill, respect and much much better treatment. So if someone asks if im malay or chi...i'd just say both, campur la...ape nak buat...haha
.sincera fazzy.
