Racist

Somewhere last week, my office had a Christmas party. We had turkey and pizza. Being the only one muslim, I was a bit reluctant to eat the turkey. Not because of the turkey shape or whatever but I was having doubts about the status of the turkey. Semebelih ke tak, siapa masakla..pakai minyak apa hu?Oven tu ada ke orang tu buat masak binatang-binatang lain?Euww. But I had my share anyway with the stuffing and cranberry sauce. The stuffing tasted funny though, it tasted like kapur barus. Don't asked me how kapur barus taste but I just know.


Anyway, we had 3 new colleagues and one of them is Indian, who sat beside me. I used to tilt my head up from my cubicle and talked to my neighbour Nicole who is kind of cool and love to gossip and talked craps like but now that didn't happen anymore.Nicole moved to other place already. I don't have anything against her or her race really but there's one thing she said made me not talking to her.


During the Christmas party I was telling my colleagues that I never had a real turkey except for turkey ham. And why the hell should I need a whole turkey for?Buat turkey masak lemak? Then the new colleague was telling me a story.


"You know, few years back my family invited some of our neighbours for Christmas party including the Malays. So we had turkey and all. We serve the turkey to the makciklah but they are so weird, you see. They asked for sambal belacan to eat with the turkey! I was thinking what kind of people eat turkey with sambal belacan and where to get sambal belacan at that time?" Oh, she was snorting when she said this and mind you, we had no alcoholic drinks coz eheh..everybody sort of respect me.


I was thinking to say something nasty because I was offended instead I just stared at her face and continued typing. No. No, shall not start a bitch fight at the office.


I mean hello, at the first place if they are that type of Malay, they wouldn't even come to the Christmast party.Ape ke jadah nak sambut Christmast? And what's wrong wanting sambal with turkey? Aku suke je sambal belacan. At least we are proud of who we are. The Malays who eat sambal. What's wrong with that? You bloody tell melah!


I was angry not because I was ashamed that my race asked for sambal belacan to eat with turkey. Not at all. But I was angry because I simply hate racist.


Tengok..pagi-pagi dah emo..
