sessi mengata...

I spent the first couple hours of my working day today mengumpat...ye, makan gaji buta lagi ni.  It started when C'nor YMed me asking "gambar umah *TanahLiat tuh baru ke?".  I answered with a "wahhh...tau ye"....and on..and on.. from meja makan, to pintu, mesin basuh, lampu...nothing escaped our scrutinizing eyes.  PK, sila lihat gambar2 tersebut dalam pesbuk ye...u'll definitely agree with me.


Though C'nor had never met TanahLiat in person but she has heard most of his swanky behavior.  I'm not the exact person to comment on people's lifestyle...sendiri pun hidup tunggang langgang kannn.  TanahLiat was one of my classmate, lifestyle memang lain macam sikit even when we were still studying...idak le macam kami yang kais pagi makan sampai malam ni.  I met him almost a year ago at our former tempat mengaji tu while i was doing some work for my current employer.  At that time he was just few months back from years of residing in one of this negara mat salleh meneman wifenya yang further study; he was jobless then and still now (after a year plus).  It's been difficult for him to find job since he's been away far too long, hence lack of working experiences.  Kalau mamat2 berkaliber lain; boleh je kalau nak start off with something new yang of course, kurang la sikit $$ since kita ni dah la tak pernah kerja after lebih kurang 10 years kannn.  Him, being berlagak as i knew him since dahulu kala had never change, not even a slightest bit.


He published photos of his renovated house on pesbuk.  I saw one of the photos the other day and mulut i ni dah nak gatal2 mengata...wahhh...flat screen!  Ye la kan, memandangkan i longed to have one tapi ntah la bila i can afford kannn, so i memang la agak dengki ni..hehe.  But the flat screen isn't why i'm feeling this way.  Biar la dia if he can afford one kan, apa salahnya ada benda tu kat rumah pun, kan keperluan tengok tv sekarang ni, lagi2 if you are free 24hours.  Yang buat i agak nak mengata ni is because dia sendiri yang admit tentang betapa tightnya financial dia, about the loans he took and betapa peningnya kepala thinking macamana nak bayar balik. Ntah kenapa dia tak malu plak nak bagitau i how he can't afford to pay road tax for his Hstream; makan pun kena bajet2, nak meniaga bla...bla... i yang berhati lembut ni (cehhh...!) bukan main la setuju dengan idea dia nak jual nasik lemak, bela itu ini; sedih ni bila kawan sendiri makan pun nak share je dengan bini sebab tak cukup bajet...ishhh.  We weren't close, but i guess he wasn't ashamed to tell me memandangkan i ni cuma kaya sikit je dari makcik PoziahNawi dalam cerita pondok buruk tu kot.


So, his session of showing off his new meja makan, kitchen cabinet penuh satu dapur bla...bla...was well admired and commented by his friends.  One even commented how rich TanahLiat must be to have such lavish house. He went on bragging how much he spent, betapa pandainya dia pasang sendiri pintu, betapa tak pandainya indon seberang depan tu pasang pintu, langsir, tiles...segala.


I wish him all the best.  I hope one day, he'll come to his senses.  Bak kata PK, "...mungkin dia sebenarnya ada banyak duit, kita je buat asumption dia miskin dr kita..."  Ye la kan...mana la kita tau.  Sorry la ye TanahLiat, kalau2 i termisjudge u...ishhh.  But i definitely am grateful for what i have now; great family, friends and my furry companions...alhamdulillah.
