Si Tenggang’s Homecoming

Suddenly, I think about things that I am willing to talk to people and things I don’t like to talk about. Tujuan post kali ni cukup mudah, supaya kita sama-sama sedar yang setiap orang mempunyai minat yang berbeza. Maka janganlah membosankan orang lain dengan topik yang kita minat, tetapi tidak diminati oleh orang lain.

.

This is my list. Let’s count it up.

.

1. Car
What to talk about car? I barely reach 110kmph on the highway so I don’t care if a car can speed up up until 180 or 200. Teringat pulak waktu aku di Tingkatan 5. Antara kawan rapat aku ialah Anuar (x-SMKM) dan dia ada minat yang tinggi tentang kereta, enjin dsb. Sebagai seorang kawan yang baik (ini ayat sarkastik), aku pun cakap kat dia, ‘Anuar, boleh tak kalau hang tak bersembang fasal kereta dengan aku. Aku tak minat laaa’.

.

Ari tu on the way ke Scotland, Tahir dan kengkawan dia duk bersembang fasal kereta. Aaah, aku terus tak join.

.

2. Business
I’m totally not a business minded person. [Terbreak sekejap membaca 1-2 artikel Dr Asri. I like his articles a lot!]. Apa benda yek yang aku cakap tadi? Oh, tak suka bisnes. Ah yeah, once I was in my friend’s room and suddenly one of my friend come over and started to talk about some scheme. And how did I feel? Rasa seminit umpama sejam, sejam umpama setahun, and that is when people talk about business, not because missing someone, and that is surely not exciting for me.

.

3. Sex & The City
Na ah, if you are not a close friend, don’t even ask if I have a girlfriend or not. Ari tu mamat kaunter kat kedai ayam goreng yang aku selalu pergi tu tanya aku. Nasib baik la muka aku ni bukan jenis blush, so takde la apa-apa yang terpapar, tapi telinga rasa macam panas jer. Segan laa.

.

Ini termasuk orang-orang yang tetiba jer jumpa dan cakap, ‘rindu kat girlfriend ke?’. No no, serkap jarang sedemikian rupa juga membuatkan aku rasa sangat tidak selesa. Apa-apa soalan berbentuk sedemikian rupa hanya selesa dijawab dengan kengkawan rapat sahaja. Famili pun takleh tanya tau! (Oh my God, I’m a baaad guy eh)

.

And don’t talk to me something related to sex. Again, if some close friends talk about it, I won’t feel very uncomfortable (double negative).

.

In this term, I’m more into Japanese culture - you don’t ask whether they have gf/bf when you just meet. Aku pelik gak, dalam kelas Jerman aku (yg sudah tamat sekarang ini), kitorang belajar, ‘Sind Sie verhairatet’ bermaksud, ‘adakah awak sudah berkahwin?’. Macam kalo jumpa stranger, tetiba jer tanya soalan tu jer.

.

4. Politics
In contrast of talking politics in debate session, I rather not to talk about it in real life. Kebiasannya kalau bercakap fasal isu-isu umum seperti tarikh pilihanraya, manifesto sedikit-sedikit, aku boleh terima la (walaupun suka dinyatakan, menaip perkataan ‘manifesto’ itu sendiri pun membuatkan aku terasa berat hati).

.

END PART 1

To be fair, aku rasa perlu juga aku tuliskan topik-topik yang aku selesa bercakap. No, it’s not just about American Idol and Heroes.

.

1. Language
Sounded a lil bit geeky but I always love to talk about language issue. Maths dalam BI, BM yang semakin diabaikan (sorry for being one of them), bersembang fasal Bahasa Jepun, Jerman atau Sepanyol, keunikan Bahasa Arab etc. That’s sounded like a cool topic.

.

2. Ethics & Morality
Bercakap tentang masalah sosial, dan isu-isu berkaitan. Bermain sedikit dengan logik.

.

3. Religion
You know that you have to talk about it to develop awareness. But I always love people who talk about it and relate to the current issue. Love to hear people talk with support of Quran & hadith. Since I was a student of Dr Asri for 2 semester, hadis-hadis yang disebut perlulah sahih.

.

And most importantly, realizing the flaws I have, I always love people who talk in a soft way rather than pointing out in I-am-right-you-are-wrong manner.

.

4. Your problems
Not mine. If you feel like needing someone to talk to, I’m okay. I won’t be a jack*** and stop you from sharing. However (ader je tetapi), the medium plays a lot of part. Meeting and talk is different. Seeing me online on YM is different. As you feel like sharing something, I might be here - mamai baru bangun, atau tengah makan; and you can’t expect me to pay attention, can you? Besides, reading text is so confusing. I’m not even sure whether you are stressing out, or sad, or just fine. Ever wonder why JK Rowling wrote hundreds of pages for a book? Yeah, to emphasize on the feeling.
