If there is one thing I could say about stereotypes, it is that they ain't true at all. Like Irish are bad drunks. Canadian are afraid of dark. English have bad teeth. Chinese eat anything that moves. Kelantanese are bad-asses (in a bad way). Malaccan curse like a docker.
Bila gua baca entri akak ni, gua teringat cerita makcik gua. Makcik gua yang sorang ni kehilangan anaknya dalam satu kes samun. Lepas siasatan dijalankan, dua orang pemuda Kelantan ditangkap and the rest is rock and roll history. Not important.
Lepas kematian anaknya, makcik gua jadi paranoid dengan orang Kelantan. Benci, takut, geram. Tiap-tiap kali gua datang rumah dia, makcik gua ni selalu 'nasihatkan' gua jangan rapat dengan orang Kelantan. Jangan percaya dengan orang Kelantan bla bla bla.
Tapi gua tetap berkawan dengan budak Kelantan macam biasa. Gua mengaku orang Kelantan ni kuat berasabiah, suka berjalan sesama clique tapi sepanjang pengalaman gua berkawan dengan dorang, orang Kelantan ni hilarious, funny and easy going.
I'm sorry auntie (Lek, silap aku njlok dingapuro. Wes suwi orak ngomong jowo). I just think you have no right whatsoever to judge people before you know 'em. You see, I cherished every moments I spent with your son. You know how close we were back when I was a kid. He used to be my coolest cousin ever. From him, I learnt how to make meriam palung, touched my first guitar and listened to XPDC tunes in his room. Yup, I missed him.
Gua tak paham kenapa kita cepat bersikap prejudis terhadap orang lain. Beria-ria fuck fuck Israel padahal bukan semua orang Israel sokong dan terlibat dalam Zionism. Beria-ria hentam blogger yang berpemikiran liberal, kononya berkiblatkan barat padahal mereka sekadar bertanyakan pendapat bukannya mengeluarkan fatwa.
All right. Let's make this a lil' bit more interesting.
I am a Muslim of Javanese descendant. My family and I practice good old Malay traditions which basically revolves around Islamic life. But, I listen to all kind of 'bad' musics, I watch a lot of western TV shows and I hate how local TV shows turn out these days. One day, I would love to befriend with Jews and I believe they can't be any worse than us Malaysians. Last but not least, I believe aliens exist.
Hahaha. Judge gua sekarang!
