snobbery hobnobbery

Too much snobbery is going around these days. And funnily, it can take on many shapes and forms. Macam2 la.. ada food snobbery, brand snobbery, work snobbery, music snobbery even friendship snobbery. I know I'm guilty of some... and I hate to admit it, but as I get older I try to come to terms with it and discard all these negativities.

Well, probably my pet peeve is food snobbery. Don't you just hate it when someone says "Oh, I don't eat any leftovers, doesn't matter 1 day ke 2 days keee..." Now let me ask you something... TAK PERNAH MAKAN KAT KEDAI MAMAK KE?? HELLOO??? Last time I checked, this person thoroughly enjoys having roti canai at mamak shops. And please, if you're on a diet.. and you don't take rice or whatever.. don't go "Ewww.. Rice?? Oh I stay away from rice, it's fattening" while someone is enjoying their nasi campur with gusto. That's just plain rude. If you don't eat a certain type of food, and find is disgusting to your taste buds.. just SHUT THE FUCK UP WILL YA?

Oh, one more pet peeve (byk plak pet peeve aku nih) friendship snobbery. All these talk about oh I am friends of anak so and so or bini so and so Tan Sri, Tun, Dato' Seri bullshit drives me up the wall. I MIGHT be guilty of mentioning this sometimes but hey, most of the time it's just fact-stating and not a form of showing off. Some people will go on and on and on and namedrop whoever they could just to earn points and look good, and some even stoop so low and do this just to get into exclusive clubs. Pathetic.

Lest we go down the depressing road. Let me end with this snippet of Cik Kam, which relates to friendship snobbery, in a way. Kalau tak relevant pun korang baca je lah.

Cik Kam frantically waves at me, and shows a piece of flyer:

Me: Apa tu? Seminar?
Cik Kam: Ha.. kau tak nak gi ke Seminar on (something i can't recall) and kau tau tak yang jadi Speaker dia ni ha.. ni... Yang Mulia Raja beb... kau tak kenal ke ni, cuba tengok...
Me: Raja Nazrin ke? Raja Petra?
Cik Kam: Err.. Raja Mohamad.. apa ntah ni.. tak kesahla tapi dia Yang Mulia tau!! Yang Mulia!

Turned out it's just some obscure dude with a Raja title. And Cik Kam thought he was some kind of a celebrity royalty just because of the Yang Mulia.

Sekian.

ye lah yelahhhhh update la niiiii

Aku dah naik menyampah kalau orang mention the word BLOG. Hahaha. Yeah, whenever we have our usual makan and lepak sessions, The Diver dan juga Usual Suspects yang lain akan comment how that I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORING MY BLOG.

I can completely put the blame on so many things, as usual. (Facebook, Twitter, work, diving, jaga laki aku, jaga anak, melantak, Cityville, the list goes on)

But yeah I have been completely ignoring this. Even as I typed "jazz..ma.." dalam history pun dah takde noks. The thing is that soooo many things have been happening and I don't even know where or how to even start writing.

Anyway, since love life aku dah tak scandalous lagi and since I did the entries on Cik Kam.. ramailah orang tanya2 bila aku nak cerita pasal Cik Kam lagi... kekeke.. Ramai peminat Cik Kam ni rupanya eh.

Aku just nak hapdet kat sini yang Cik Kam and I have become sort of "friends" la jugak. Sebabnya, aku rasa dia takut ngan aku selepas aku sembor dia banyak2 kali pasal banyak2 benda. Ada je dia nak tolong aku. So, aku memang kena jadi blue hippo dan friends la jugak ngan dia. Senang beb, segala benda aku taichi kat dia. Benda2 yang tak melibatkan otak la.

Free labour beb, siapa tak nak? Dahla department aku ni kekurangan hands and legs.

OKlah, nanti la nak fikir citer2 juicy dan kelakar Cik Kam nih.

Jgn cakap aku tak update blog ni yer. And sorry la bahasa Rempit sikit ni. I overloaded on carbs during lunch.
