Baru2 ni i had a conversation with sorang through YM. Had the person been in the same room with me, I think I would have ended up baling kasut I padanya.
Before i proceed any further i should put out a warning that some people may be offended with the language i'd be using, so if you think you're one of them, venture no further. To say that i was angry was an understatement of the year.
Last weekend, us from no31 minus the maid went to stay at this place by the sea that was quite near to home. Saja berchoti2 and it was our first family holiday after the one yg pi buat baby x. Sikit lagi baby x dah boleh mengundi dah. See how long ago it was. I bumped into 2 former acquaintances dpd zaman i di negara benggali putih dulu. They were friendly, in fact we talked more then than we did many years ago.
So i told this person (which from this point onwards shall be referred to as PG=pakcik gila) about these two people i met (bec dia pun uni sama dulu) at the hotel, i was with my family and they were on bussiness trip.
Pg : are u implying that you can afford to pay for your hol but they were sponsored?
Ck: no la..i was going to say too bad tak boleh la nak berjejak kasih dgn diaorg brsembang lama2 although we definitely had more to say to each other thn zaman dulu. My, what's wrong with you?
This is when he started to go off the rails, so to speak.
PG: nothing's wrong with me.
(he paused a bit pas tu sambung)
PG: for your info, for 2008 i made 300k and that didnt include car, petrol, housing allowances and air fare balik mesia (dia ni ekspek). And you know what, they are all tax free!
Dalam hati cik kiah cakap amboi bongkak nak mampusnya si kaduk ni. Ayo ma, cite ni panjang sebenarnya...meringkas karangan was never my strong point masa spm dulu. Fyi, dah banyak kali dah dia ni brag...i tahan je...setiap kali bersembang mesti adalah akan masuk pasal $$. Dia ni dululah yg mengutuk kereta nasional i. PG ni jugak pernah cakap kat i, yg dia spent about 30k while he was back in msia and tu tak termasuk the souvenirs he spent on prior to coming home. Selalunya i humour him je but i was pissed off from his earlier remark yg kononnya i nak menunjuk tu.
Ck: what you lack is not money but class.
Aiyo kadawale! Masa ni si PG dah naik antu dah. Dulu2 i pernah cakap kat dia yg dia ni terlampau defensive. Selalu ingat that everyone yg living n breathing has something against him. He has this mega chip on his shoulder. Masa kat uni dulu dia ni yg jenis tak pas2, tukar sana sini but akhirnya pas jugak le walaupun kalau org lain tu given the same amount of time sempat beranak 4-5 kali. Anyway, setelah i mengutuk dia takde class, apalagi dia pun meracau la cakap how people (our friends) dari uni dulu ridiculed him and sekarang ni lihatlah donia, dia lebih hebat (dari segi $$ obviously) dari mereka sekarang. Termasuk dgn i sekalilah kerbau yg terpalit lumpur tu. Habihlah sejarah keluarga pun dia ungkit jugak...apparently not only we his peers 'buat' dia, sedara mara dia pun sama gak.
Hiish! I pantang betul dgn orang yg tak habis2 nak play the role of victim ni. I cuba nak menyedarkan dia that there are many others who are worse off than him. So i pun cakap, i ada client yg sakit leukaemia dok kat ceruk felda mana tah. Bila dtg jumpa i, him and the dad have to take several buses from home. Tiba sebelum subuh lagi kat puduraya tu and bila dah pagi baru make their way to my workplace. And same day gak balik bec dad can’t afford to miss work. No work no pay and obviously no money for lodging. I also told him the story of this 5 yr old girl with brittle bone disease. Yg dah patah riuk tulangnya merata2 that she was no bigger than a 2 yr old toddler. Sepanjang masa terbaring atas katil je bec she was too fragile to be moved. She was from ipoh. Every few months dtg sini utk masuk ubat and each time father comes with her. Dok 3 hari, merempat kat kaki lima hosp bec lagi sekali, can’t afford to sewa bilik. What the father worries most is tambang bas ekspres yg asyik nak naik je. Recently father lost his job pasal asyik cuti bawak dia ke hosp. Or another client of mine yg ada jantung lubang and bec of his condition i had to do the procedure i planned on him pronto (kena mengaku awal2 i bukan cardiac surgeon kut sesapa might think so :)) . Fees tak mahal, rm500 je but bapak bawak lori, mak hoswipe, so sesak sikit..mintak i karangkan surat sokongan memohon bantuan kebajikan, wch i did tapi kena reject.
So berbalik pada cite org gila tadi, after bersusah payah menjadi penglipur lara with cerita2 sedih tadi, i asked him, was there at any point masa dia struggling to get his degree that he had to worry about money, makan takde ke or kesihatan buruk ke? Seingat i la, dia boleh afford buat grocery shopping kat markssparks, holiday melangkaui benua and ngabihkan duit taxpayers pi melabur duit scholarship beli hi fi. Ni memang la sindrom anak org senang tak sedar diri. Belajar malas, bila org gelakkn dia tak pass2, 7 keturunan dia berdendam you!
You know what he said? 'I'm not in competition to see who has the worst childhood.'
OMG !!!! @#*!!!@?@~#&!!
I boleh sabar lagi, i said, i know, i cuma nak mengingatkan u yg kat luar tu ramai lagi yg kurang bernasib baik. Please get over yourself.
And he said, is that why you think you are superior than me, just because you get to rub shoulders with these poor people. Dari dulu lagi you look down on me bec academically you are better.
Masyallah!!! From then onwards i baru tersedar that there is no getting through to this guy. Dia memang dah sewel and there's no point. I could be yming sampai jari naik kematu pun dia akan tetap fikir the world revolves around him and dia adalah mangsa kaki2 buli geng2 i dulu. Nasib baiklah dia takde power cam si Carrie Stephen King tu, kalau tak i dah hangus you all.
So, I’ve decided dgn rela hatinya i melepaskan biawak psycho dan bebanan emosinya dari dukungan i. People have moved on with their lives, tak kuasalah nak tengok samada si polan ni dapat ke idak degreenya, berapa gajinya sekarang…but he obviously thinks that orang takde kerja lain. For crying out loud..!
