Only Able To Finish Half Of My Coffee.. Surprise Surprise Even After A Big Donation To The Toilet This Morning I Still Felt Full.. Bagus Tah Banar Ubat Atu.. Even Last Night Ah During Dinner Our Foods Was Lavish. I Only Had A Few Piece Of Begedil And Seema Kuey Teow For Breakfast And Before Heading To Miri I Only Had A Piece Of Ayam Masak Kurma And While In Miri I Bought Double Choc From CB So In All I Only Had One Meal In Between Breakfast And Dinner.. When I Mentioned Lavish I Meant There Was Left Over Of Mee Mamak, Beef Briyani, Ayam Masak Kurma, KFC Chicken, Martabak Antah Lupa Ku Lagi What Else.
For Dinner I Had McD's GCB Burger.. Jangkau Sikit Mee Mamak.. Didn't Even Bother To Touch The Ayam Kurma And Had A Drummet Yup Just A Small Piece Of KFC's Drummet.. Selalunya Menungap Banar Ku Apalagi Kalau Part Aku Skip Meal Memang Over Indulge But Somehow Alhamdulillah Lately Since I'm Taking My Meal Suppressant Pill I'm Eating Less And I Felt Full All The Time.. Even To The Point I Have To Paksa Makan Pasalnya Kan Sentiasa Kanyang Tau Tau Kajar2 Badan.. Which Is Of Course Not A Healthy Thing To Do.
One Of Those Hateful Page In Facebook These Days And This One They Clearly Hentam HM And His Family But Fair Play To Us Bruneians We Really Stood By HM.. Somehow Ever Since Our Country Implemented Shariah Law Banyak Org Luar And Including Dalam Brunei Hentam Our Country.. Even Nowadays Pun Di Kelantan Turut Sama Kana Hentam.. Dan Yang Menyedihkan Lagi Bila Yang Ikut Menghentam And Being Sinikal In The Comment Are Muslims.. And I Know Some Even Hentam Us Locals For Resorting To Name Calling.. And That We Should Have At Least Had A Positive Debate.. Or Just Ignore It.. I Do Agree To An Extend But This Page Are Just Run By Trolls To Incite Hate.. There Were A Few Who Tried To Have An Argument Or Debate With The Admin But Most Of The Time The Comments Were Deleted.. So In This Case Insult Is The Best Way Haa Haa Haa.. We Can Ignore It But Sometime Its Not The Best Of Way.. Why? If We Choose To Ignore It Others Might See That Bruneians Might Agree To It.. And From There Macam Macam Tah Lagi Propaganda Kan Durang Buat.
This Is Though Not What I Want To Talk About.. Last Night I Had A Debate With A Bruneian Chinese Nothing Offensive Just A Friendly Debate And More To A Rant Jua At Times.. First Up Kitani Some Of Us Bruneian Especially Melayu The Majorities Are Called Racist.. Honestly I Do Not Fully Agree To That Statement.. In My Opinion We Are Just Being An Ignorant Fool And Oblivious To The Fact That Calling A Chinese "Cina Babi" Or Indian As "Kaling" Or Indonesian "Indo" And The Westerners "Org Putih" Is Wrong.
Okay My Argument Was Well More Like A Typical Respond Was Kamu Pun Sama Jua Bah Calling Us Malays "Melayu Cibai" Name Calling Happened.. It Still Happens And Will Always Happen.. Why? I Suppose Its Just A Norm When Different Races Lives Together.. I Do Not Believe Its A Racist Comment.. Racial Slur Yeah And More To A Stereotyping One Race.. Back In The Time When I Was In The UK.. I Was Pretty Cross By A Few Of The Chinese Student In My Group Who Failed To Turn Up For Our Economy Presentation.. So A Local Lad And I Ended Up Doing The Presentation With A Few Members Short.. And After The Class One Of My Coursemates Asked Why The Guys Didn't Turned Up I Answered In A Chinese Accent Trying To Be Funny.. But The Girl Face Tensed Up And I Asked Her Did I Said Something Wrong.. She Said I Was Making A Racist Slur.. I Was Shocked.. I Explained It To Her That I Was Unaware Of It And Was Trying To Be Funny Because It Was Really Stressful For The Both Of Us.. And Only Then I Learned That Other Races Has A Different View Or Understanding.. And With All This Political Correctness Bullshit Being Bombarded Into Our Way Of Life Somehow What We Did, Our Joke Even To The Point Imitating Accent Pun Kana Kira Being Racist.
In Regards On Calling An Indian Kaling.. Honestly Aku Pun Nda Tau Yang Ani A Racist Remark Only After I Asked My Indian History Teacher On Why Does Calling An Indian Kaling Is Wrong Then I Know And Understand.. She Explained To Us That Back Then During The Time Where The Brits Controlled Half Of This World.. Indian Slaves Was Traded All Over The World And Everytime They Disembarked A Ship They Will Walk Chains On Their Heels That Makes A Kling Kling Sound Hence Why There Called With That.. Well That Was According To Her..
With Regards Of Calling An Indonesian "Indon" It Is Something I Just Learned A Few Years Back.. I Used To Have A Multiply Account.. In That Account I've Uploaded Songs That Can Be Downloaded Amongst My Friends.. I Have This One Folder Where It Consisted Of My Faves Indonesian Songs.. And I Named The Folder As Lagu Indon.. Then An Indonesian Messaged Me Saying That I Should Not Used The Term Indon.. I Asked Why? He Said I Should Change It Or Put It Down Because The Term Indon Is Disrespectful.. In My Defence I Explained It To Him That I Was Unaware Of That Matter And In Fact I Have Indonesian Friends And Even My Uncle's Driver Referred Himself To "Aku Org Indon Bah".. So I Just Changed It To Lagu Indo Just Not To Insult Anyone.. So I Checked Around The Internet And I Found Out That Indon Is A Negative Connotation For Indonesians Used By Malaysians As A Deragatory Terms Towards The Indonesian Workers Hence Why There Is Always Tension Between Those Two Countries.. But It Is Totally Different From Us In Brunei.. We Called The Indonesian Indon As A Short Form Of Calling Them Orang Indonesia.. Even If We Asked The Old Population Of Indonesian Workers They Will Refer To Themselves As Indon.. But If You Asked Their Younger Population specially Those Who Are From The Big Cities Most Of Them Will Refer To Themselves As Saya Org Indonesia.. So If You Think About It There Is A Big Gap Between Those Workers Whose Been In Brunei For A Long Time With The New Generations When It Comes To Understanding That Term Just Like Most Of Bruneians.. We Are Not Making Derogatory Comments We Are Just Oblivious To It.
Now When It Comes To Westerners We Bruneians Called Them Org Putih.. Just As We Called The Black Population Org Hitam Or Negro.. Again To Us We Are Not Trying To Be Racist It Is Just Our Way Of Describing Them.. We Do Not See Them As A Brit Or American Or Italian Or German We Just Describe Them As How Their Features Are.. Yes If You Translate It Directly It Might Sound Like One But Again Its Not.. Why? We Always Put Them In A High Pedestal Hence Why We Called Them Sir.. Its A Mark Of Respect Tho Nowadays We Just Thought Naaahh Bruneians Are As Good Or As Skilled As Them In A Few Fields.. Hehe Sorry A Bit Patriotic There.
Well I Suppose This Is More A Rant Then Actually Explanation But In All Seriousness Yes Making Racial Slur Or Statement Or Using Derogatory Terms Is Just Wrong.. Parents Should Try To Teach Their Children About This.. Because If We Don't Then What Is Used To Be Innocence Can Become Wrong And Hateful.
Til My Next Post.. Take Care Everyone!
