Hiatus till September 17th? Who am I kidding?

"Ye lah, budak budak melayu sekarang mane tau duduk rumah. Merayap je"

My mum said that just before I left home 3hours ago. (i'm at the library now thats why) I was rushing to leave, so she asked me why. And I told her that it's because Civic centre is no longer like a library, but a school. Everyone and anyone comes here. So she said the sentence above. And true enough, (or sadly/ironically enough you change it to your liking) the library was and still is filled with budak-melayu-duduk-kat-corner-dengan-boypren/girlpren, telling or whispering to each other telling one another they're hungry. I mean seriously, I hate to be stereotypical cos Tricia Ang talks about it every lesson, but it's hard not to be with facts like these smacking you in your face every now and then. Now, don't get it wrong. I know very well that I am not so much of an angel myself, but that's just it you see. You know no one's perfect, so why exploit the situation and further prove to the world that that saying is true. Don't you at least want to get the whiff of the sweet sweet smelling perfection? Hm?

One more thing. I just realised how lucky I am because my mother nags. Seriously, I used to hate it, but I now know how it actually matters. People, if your mothers are no longer nagging at you, you better do something about it. See when a mother nags, she speaks her heart out. Or maybe shrieks, I don't know. If you listen closely when your mother nags, all that she's saying is a simple point. Driven by frustration and utmost anger, the point is being stretched. However when you think about what she's said after it all ends, it makes sense. It just does. As much as I hate to admit it sometimes, my mother is always right. And when I say, "Ibu pandai eh" She'll just say, "Ibu dah banyak makan garam, Ibu tak pandai". And there you go, another motherly quality which is undeniably magnificent - modesty.

I went for terawih yesterday, and as always, I'd be reluctant to stay for the syarahan, but with her magical powers, my mum will make me. And I am glad I did stay. Because I learnt about 3 things God will never forgive. Even if you were to fast and pray for the rest of your lives.

1) Husband and wives who simply choose to ignore one another.
2) Children who are rude (derhaka) to their parents.
3) Not acknowledging your neighbours.

Yeah, even if your neighbour is insane in the membrane and comes over to your house every hour. You're gna have to suck it in and learn to like it. Anyways, I am not trying to be a pushover here, but really. It's scary when you think about it. Such simple everyday mistakes can be something permanent. No one, nothing, not even Panadol will save you. And yes, when your mum nags like crazy. When your mum says something which is a 1,000,000% untrue, just say, "yes yes i was wrong you are right" (in a tone that's sarcastic of course). DO NOT FUEL THE ARGUMENT. Because admitting will stop the whole thing. I've had my fair share of nagging sessions because apparently my tak guna siblings left me alone in the house. And to think of it, I am honoured to be the one my mum chooses to nag at constantly because then only I will know what goes on in that head of hers. And mothers definitely don't think with their minds, they use their hearts.

I don't know what's driven me to say so much, but I just think I have to. Because what I see/hear happening around me, with the Malay society, with the saying that goes "not all malays are Muslims" gets to me in one way or another. You can't deny it. You know you're affected. Just don't be infected. I love all of my friends out there, but if I think I'm gna hafta to eliminate you due to your lack of principles. I will. But for now, I still love all of you. Hahaha. Okay, my break is over. Selamat berbuka later! Muah. ♥
