the topic for today is malay vs others. i'm inspired to write about this topic because of the experience i myself gone through.
i've been in two situation.one, i'm in a place where the malays are the minorities.and two,where the malays are the majorities.
so when i'm with the non-malay place,being a keen observer myself,i see the way they live. if classes starts at 8 oclock, by 7.30 the hall is already full.they rushed to everywhere, and they are enthusiastic, if not all of them. and of course by now u should know where they spend their free times,in the library of course.until late night,group or partner studying.maybe it's their advantages to have a great brain; they catch up everything on the first time it was being said.
now the second scene.this is where i have to be harsh,because hey i'm malay too.if the class start at 8,they woke up at 7.30 (especially me!)..and then they still have time to talk and catwalk to class.enthusiastic?most of them,but some are passive learners like me.want to know where the malays spend their night time?in their own rooms.but this is not their fault,considering the library closed at 5 oclock.see?the admin also doesn't want to help the student to provide the place for studying.of course most of them study in the room,but what with computers and internet and all the friends and the beds,they won't studying long,and the nearest example is me.and about the brains?i can't say anything about it.
but what i learn from the malays here is,they really really learnt from mistakes.take for example,being late for class.the teachers had a road block once and one third of the students are late for class.of course,this included me.we were given punishment to do chores,that is gotong royong.that means nothing because it's not hard and cruel at all.then one of the teachers gave some speech about the malays not being grateful.he's right.malays are lazy.malays take everything for granted.it's harsh of course,but if u take one minute to think about it,there's truth behind every sentences i wrote.and then the next day,the one third group woke up really really early and by 8 oclock,everyone is in class already.it's good to know that even malays are this and that,but they are like this and that too.
so the conclusion?i'm not saying that malays are good for nothing.i mean,hey there's so many malays out there that did well in whatever area they are in,but if we work harder and compete with the others,maybe we can be as good as,if not better,than them.it's just a matter of realizing what we have and doing whatever we can to maximized it.
sorry for this crap.i can't make it interesting enough to read.
till then,toodles
