re: the dreaded tag.
it seems that there are some people who mis-interpreted my recent post. i've always been subtle and vague on purpose in posting my entries but apparently, this method can get pretty controversial to some of the readers.
"at the wake of all my recent fuckups, i now know exactly what is wrong with me:
the simple fact that i'm malay.
and i forgot that today's hari raya haji."
i stressed the word 'malay', flaunting it in bright red because i wanted people to know that being 'malay' is a huge shortcoming for me and at times leading me to being depressed in my everyday dealings of life. that post referred to my usual angst for the day and the realization of how pathetic it is to be a malay in a society and country that brags success i.e. Singapore. following up on the fact that i forgot the day's occasion of lamb-cutting, i was really telling everybody that i don't celebrate the occasion that much (anymore).
if you're malay, you are a muslim. well, you are actually stereotyped as a muslim. that statement now is not necessarily true, is it? newsflash: I FUCKING KNOW THAT.
my recent post was based entirely on my ignorance, on the fact that i dislike my background, on the fact that i've been brainwashed too darned much, on the fact that my friends are predominantly chinese, on the fact that i'm really pissed that i get fucked because i'm malay and on the fact that i was just simply being an ass. the reference on hari raya haji was meant to be a mere example.
if i changed 'malay' to 'muslim', i'm simply looking for trouble. and for the record, i am proud to be a muslim. race might be the subset of religion in the context of muslim singaporeans by default so it does make a difference if i put that particular word in.
i don't care what you think and what you think i should put in my entries. my entries are my entries, i won't change it unless i have to. plus, insulting me on my very own taggie calls for animosity especially if you do it in malay language.
lu yang bodoh ar babe. bacer betul-betul ah. tak tau buat tak tau sua.
bad day today. sorry if i'm a little grumpy.
