the companions' issues

World Cup's over and the sotong kurita pun makin la glamer.  Of course, i didn't watch, so i do not know how was the game like, who's the best or worst player etc, but i do enjoy the octopus thing.  Paul the octopus doesn't know a thing about football, for sure dia memang tak tau menahu pun what's with the food choices and the photographers watching him and the ugutan2 nak bunuh dia whatsoever, but amazing how people could be so obsessed to him; ie an animal.


Having animals or pets boleh menyebabkan & menimbulkan macam2 isu.  One is, tanpa kita sedar, it brings out something inside u yang selama ni kita memang tak tau ada.  Say if selama ni u are the type yang tak pernah senyum, orang buat lawak tergolek2 pun habis2 u cuma gerakkan bibir je; try having a pet, i'm sure there'll be time u akan senyum sorang2.  It can really bring out the soft spot inside yourself.  The simplest example is my own family.  We were never the pet type people; not me, my sisters, brothers nor my parents.  My mother and father were the type yang hati kayu sikit, but now; look at them...i would never imagine they could have pets living with them.  My mom is a very reserve person, ie she seldom expresses her feelings and i could easily count how many times i saw her tears; less than a handful.  One was when my grandmother passed away, second was when i was in primary school and third was when i called her to tell her that Teh, one of her cat died.  Same goes to my father, i can't imagine the fact that he can go to our neighbors searching  for Adam who went missing and never came back since then.


But; on the other hand, i admit that there are issues yang akan boleh buat u somber.  Pets are born with tahap berfikir yang kurang dari manusia.  So, they can't think like us.  There are times where their actions boleh menggugat tahap kesabaran manusia.  But; usually no matter how hard their issues are, the worst part to deal with is usually pertaining orang2 sekeliling; could be your own family member, friends or anyone around u.  Not everyone can accept the idea that u are living with animals. But to be fair la kan, we who lives with pets cuma tinggal dengan pet tu kat rumah kita sendiri je kan.  Okay la, memang la ada certain orang yang biar pet dia merayau rata2, and that's not a good idea kalau we can't control them and menyusahkan jiran2 tetangga.  But, in cases yang pet dia langsung tak mengacau sesapa; say like me la kan.  I live together with the 18 FCs, i manage them all myself, tak pulak i mintak duit jiran, sedara ke sesapa nak jaga diaorang tu...so, i guess there's no valid reason kenapa orang boleh tak puas hati dengan i.  There's nothing more yang boleh buat orang yang ada pets ni pissed off selain daripada kata2 sinis ala2 perli memerli hal2 cenggini.  Trust me.  Kalau nak sakitkan hati orang yang ada pet, cuba la mengata hal2 kucing, anjing or ikan dia; nescaya u'll be in the defriend list.  I have friend yang i malas nak call, simply because she can't accept the fact that i have many cats and she'll find ways to sakitkan hati i dengan bagi idea2 as to why i shouldn't keep them and lama2 relate to the idea that i'm not married.  Apa la kaitannya kan?  I'm not married is it because of the cats?  I know that ada orang percaya benda tu; but, come on...my faith may not be as great as u, but i truly believe that semuanya dah ditentukan tuhan.  And the fact that i had changed from orang yang tak suka animals to what i am now, pun God's will jugak kan?  People might think that it's not normal to be living with pets where at this age i should be living with a man (walaupun kemungkinan dapat yang perangai tak tentu hala) and raising kids (ada jugak kemungkinan yang tak dengar kata) but hey, the pets bukan replacement for the man and kids.  That is something yang orang patut faham.  Even kalau i kawin, i'll still have pets around.  I'll surely look for a man who loves my FCs as much as i love them; and of course i'll definitely teach my kids dari lahir that animals are to be loved, not to be treated badly.  But, it's just so amazingly difficult to make these people understand that; especially when it's related to sedara mara.  Boleh menyebabkan kes2 masam muka la jugak kalau tak kena gaya sebab the challenge is to make them understand the idea dengan ayat dan bahasa yang sopan yet firm, and at the same time u have to control your own anger akibat kata2 diaorang yang tak sedap didengar tu.  Susah tauuuu...!



But then again; hal2 yang berkaitan dengan orang ni biasanya memang susah sikit nak handle.  We can't control what others may think.  We can only just hope that whatever we do would not make orang2 keliling kita rasa uncomfortable in any way.  I sincerely do hope that my friends would never hesitate to tell me off kalau ada apa2 yang tak kena.  It may not be easy to confront orang, and it certainly may not be easy to listen to others' comments or complains, whatever the issue is, be it about our pets, personals or our relation with anyone or anything surrounding us.  We might not change whatever we are doing or engage at the moment, probably because we just want or have to be wrong to realise; but we certainly have to know apa perasaan orang sekeliling kita so that we could have the chance to explain whatever we believe is right for us, because whatever that seems not right to u tak semestinya jugak tak betul untuk orang lain.  Kalau living with pets is not your kind of thing, then just accept the fact that ada orang lain yang boleh.  If having pets doesn't give u happiness, but instead raising kids & memasak untuk husband brings smile to your face; then just be it.  Doesn't mean that a single lady with pets is not as happy or as complete as u think u are.
