Tell me now

Yesterday.. Pos laju gaman: Ini rumah ko ka? Me: dalam hati, budus betul. Apa pula rumah, cuba ko tgk tu address, ada Sdn. Bhd. baitu. Pos laju gaman: *diam*................. bah, ko tulis nama sini then tulis IC ko sini, then sign. Me: *tulis tulis tulis* Pos laju gaman: *trying to pronounce my name*.. Ko ni tagalog ka? Me: *malas mau layan* Iya. Nah, siap. Pos laju gaman: Ok. Makasih. Me: Ok. dalam hati, kitai kau panggil sia tagalog.
Throughout my life, I've been perceived as Chinese/Malay and never as Tagalog. Nevermind, i accept it as a compliment. kekeke.
One fact that i can relate to this is, my dad's name memang berunsurkan melayu, but he's a pure Dusun. I remember one Ustaz (in my secondary school), asked me "ur dad convert to kristian ka?". Panas hati aku mendengarnya.
I did asked my grandma about dad's name. She answered 'bapa ko lahir time hari raya haji, tu bidan yang kasi cadang tu nama' My dad is the eldest in family. So, i thought 'Oh, maybe si nenek belum champion lagi kasi nama anak time tu. nda apa la'
Nda apa kunun! The siblings' name semua berunsurkan english kunun, and in birth cert stated Christian, but lepas tengok nama bapa, masih juga org fikir kami ni Muslim. Well, i cant blame the short minded type of ppl. If they are curious, all they need to do is ASK, dont simply make assumption. If u cant help urself from making one, bear in mind that ur assumption can be true or false. Kesimpulannya, the father's name memang sangat penting. And my grandma is innocent :p And i vowed to myself, i will not name my kids based on occasion. Biarpun dia lahir time deepavali, i wont name her Kajol, kalau lelaki hmm..kumar la :p However, when i come to think of this, my dad's name is decent, compared to...hm...certain people la. You see, i've been seeing the CVs of the crew going to offshore for the company's recent project Ada jg la yg bikin funny, i cant help myself from laughing. common sense, when it's funny, you laugh not cry. So now tell me. If i didnt tell you that i am of the race of Dusun, what do u think i am? No offence ppl, but i think Sabahans are good in recognizing people (in terms of what race is he/she) due to the nature's of our ppl in Sabah but i welcome all. Tell me,i want to know. Update: Si sweetie cakap i look like indian..nanti ko sweetie.. hahahaha

Actually sy ni otw mo jadi commentor ko yg paling byk ^_^

Wats ur fathers name? Well thats the thing di Sabah la, nama campur2. Mcm me la kan, maybe muka sy ada iras2 Ekin Cheng or if x pun Takuya Kimura, or maybe la juga mcm Rain (kasi can). So I can't really blame people if they think I'm oriental, suda la nama pun Alvin kan. Mcm nama abg si Linda Nanuwil pun quite decent but more to Malay punya word. Also I had a junior di secondary school dulu nama dia Ridhwan, but he's a Christian, kesian dia pernah sy dgr cerita dia kena marah ustaz napa x p smbhyg, tp bila tau tu ustaz pun mcm..oh??? We were in boarding school time tu.

Well org bilang mesti ada hikmah di sebalik apa jua kejadian ^_^

Cuma bila org cakap muka sy mcm Tom Cruise, hmm itu mmg sy x buli tahan la ^_^

alvin: haha..niat yg murni tu mau jadi no 1.

nda bole reveal ba nama bapa i,nti kamu minta spend *hint*. Sy pun ingat ko non,but bila ko cakap ko puasa,hancur hati sy..hahaha..main2 ah.

Alah,kasian jg tu kena marah. kejadian mcm tu la yg buat sy rasa, the name is indeed very important but still,i dont blame my nenek.

*tiap2 kali sy taip nenek,sy mesti tertaip nenen..aduiii*

Ko belum jawab soalan sy lagi.

Then my Dad once met a father who named his children Lee Mee Hun and Lee Mee Sup (bangang betul. I'd shot him if i was the kid).

My Melanau cousin berapa kali sudah kena tangkap time bulan puasa gara-gara nama dia ada 'binti'...

izanazuani said...

hahahahaha... kelucuan sia baca comment semua. bagus utk mental la baca comment org kan? sabahan terlampau byk campur sudah, nama pun tiada beza muslim & non-muslim.

my christian friend's punya laki nama mat ali, but dorang bukan muslim. my fren kasi tau dulu mentua dia suka tgk peninju mohd ali tuuu... then dia kasi nama anak dia mat ali. sia pun dulu konpius...

my husband is originally muslim, tapi nama dia berabis omputeh... masa sia nikah dulu berkulut2 imam mau kasi nikah kami. ko bygkan imam umur 70 thn mau sebut shaun fredoline yusof. yg sia dgr yusof ja. sampai ustaz pun suruh dia tukar nama, susah mau sebut...

but i guess, pengajaran la mau kasi nama anak lain kali. kalau in english atau spanish pun, misti ada meanings yg bagus...

Wel^Beiolman said...
