Im waiting for my friends to join us for breakfast. She and her kids. Weve known each other since we were 16. We lost contact for a while, then we met again several times.
Well, breakfast was great. The company even greater!
We talked for hours. The children were watching dvd, playing on their own, plucking rambutans - so we had 3 hours, more or less, to ourselves.
She always makes sense!
Once, our classmate was talking about an actress she doesnt like. My dear friend Saidah, opened her mouth, "You think she likes you?"
This is the friend I mentioned a few entries ago, been wearing hijab since school, never gone clubbing and one real sensible person! Shared with her about an article sent by a friend about weak iman and stuff..
Her response was, "somebody probably sent it to her because shes the one been whining? No?"
LOL
So we started with breakfast. McD. Weve stopped eating McD for more than a year now. So anyway, we thought OK, our guests brought them over, out of respect and love, we enjoyed breakfast together over tearing laughter!
From one topic to another. One that got to me (AGAIN!) is...ummm
Malays have this attitude of 'keeping EVERYTHING a secret', 'just let it be, dont drag it', 'just ignore her'... Ohhhhh this is my favorite.. 'eh dont ask him about what I told you ok. this is just between us'! Arent you curious at all? Why the hell not? This untrusting sssssssnake went spreading secrets, now he or shes afraid the owner of the secret found out the secrets no longer a secret! Even worst, its not true! Many saucy lies been added for perfection! Really, why do they do this?
I dont know about other races, but Malays do this as if they truly do it for the sake of silaturrahim...good friendship. More often than not, they do it because they are afraid! Now that Im talking about it, I guess its a malaysian thanggg!
Heres an example, someone once was mad with me because i gave away some of my late mothers Corning etc. I was asked to get them back.
"I dont care, you ask her to return every piece! Dont tell her I want them back"
What or how does that sound like to you?
She wanted me to take the spot!
Take responsibility of what comes out of your mouth, your heas.. never be afraid if they get mad at you. Give them a piece of your mind too! Its different today. Muslims link it to the fact that we are so close to the end of the world where more and more people behave quite the opposite instead.
So yes, give them a piece of your mind.
And, today many cowards adopted the silent-method, not because theyre right, but because they are frickin cowards!
Anyway, last night we chatted for a bit.
And we reached an understanding that, nobody really keeps secret!
So if its a secret, goddammit, keep it a secret.
TO YOUR YOURSELF!
