Penat? Tak ah...
Once again my English-speaking ways have come under attack, by none other than Tok Sam (s-AH-m, not Samwise), a relative of indeterminate origin (okay not true, he's my fathers' mothers' sisters'/aunts' husband.... i think). I wasn't even talking to him, the poor man just overheard the conversation I was having with my sister and sighed loudly. He later went on about English users being too Westernised, devoid of Islamic values and such. Crap, the old man must have found out about my tail and horns, hahaha. Dad stepped up for the occasion, defending his daughters' choice of language, while my sister was unfortunately dragged into the limelight, casting forlorn looks at me every now and then. Meanwhile, the unwilling instigator of the debate tactfully scarpered off to another part of the room to watch the unfolding battle, but out of respect for Tok Sam I will proceed with the rest of the post in a mishmash of languages.Hahaha, okay, walaupun ak kata mcm tu tp sebenarnye taklah tau sgt apa yg nk cerita. Yeah, org Melayu yg berbahasa BI bak kata kacang lupakan kulit, pengkhianat bangsa dan negara! Yeah, org yg solat 5 waktu sudah tentunya org baik, tak minum arak, tak pukul anak mahupun isteri! Yeah, perempuan yg tk pakai tudung semuanya pelacur! Umpama sekilas ikan di air sudah tahu jantan betinanya, begitulah juga dengan perwatakan manusia, tengok sikit dah tahu baik jahatnya. Wow byk pulak peribahasa yg keluar, aiseeeh. Tapi ada jugak satu lagi peribahasa that went something like dalam laut boleh diduga, dalam hati siapa tahu? Whatever it is, org mcm Tok Sam is a dime a dozen, and ak dah malas dah nk kecik hati dgn benda ciput mcm tu. Whatever I went through is nothing compared to what my youngest two sisters went through at school (and so did Soms' sister or so I gather). Adibah sampai menangis2 taknak pegi sekolah sbb di-ostracize-kan. Kenapa? Sbb dia cakap bahasa omputeeeeh *bagi extra mak cik punya slang* Org tua mcm saya, kamu dan Tok Sam tu satu hal; budak hingusan mcm ni pun satu hal gak. Agak2nye apelah yg fikirkan time blaja BI susah-payah dlm kelas. 'Cis, kenapa pulak ak kena belajar bahasa penjajah ni?'...something like that kot. Tapi bila menjerit2 tgk idola J-drama diorang tak ke pulak pikir camtu. Kalau blh nak jugak sentuh pasal kenapa dan bagaimana perkara mcm ni blh berlaku. Tapi ak cuma blh buat spekulasi saje, krn Allah shj yg mengetahui. Labels: language dilemma, thoughts |
