I just come back from a closed relative Open House. It make a splash in her area because, she a well known doctor.
Let me share you few incidents that make me Hmmmmm....
1st incident.
A Chinese family comes, the doctor, ever gracious, invited them to sit where ever they want as a lot of table still not been occupy yet. This family sit on the middle of the tent and proceed enjoying their meals.
Then the wife just walk out without courtesy of meeting the doctor with her kids. But then, their kids noticed that a few kids who salam the doctor get the angpow envelope. By then they already arrived at the end of the tent.
The family without shame, turn around, go to the doctor and proceed inform in the loud voice to the doctor that their kids still didn't received the angpow envelope and told her if she this forgetful, why bother for open house and then take the angpow and then leave without salam. Really??? I watch in disbelieved.
Personal opinion, Hey, this is not a public open house lah. It private and please used your brain. You don't feel a things when you asked the doctor for angpow after leaving without salam and said thank you? Then you not fit to joint the community. What give you right to get angry with the doctor when she didn't even know you were leaving. Geezzz are you.......
2nd incident.
A Malay family come and suddenly the husband stop from coming to the doctor house. He then tell his wife somethings then turn around and sit in his car. His wife proceed meeting the doctor with her kids in tow.
What I observed, a few times, his kid take a bunch of foods and take it to him. He just eat in his car.
I then asked one of his kids, what going on, and he said "Abah tak mau masuk sebab kat pagar rumah ada bendera BN". Haaaaaaa.......
My personal opinions, if you don't want to mix up with other people, just don't come lah. Aiyooo. And you make your kids bring the foods to you some more. Gosh. Is this guy for real????? Cannot come in but can eat their food??? Please inform me what logic did you used. Gezzzzzz
For those who don't know how to act when go to open house, here the tips.
People, people, when you come to private open house, after been invited, please meet the host before you eat. Then after enjoying your free meals, when you want to go back home, please meet the host again and say thank you OK.
People, people, the angpow envelope is usually for the kids. Remember, this is not a public function. Your already eat a free meals. That your angpow OK. Those who already 18 and above don't eligible to received it. Got it.
People, people, if you come to open house, please leave your political view at your house. Please. don't make a fool of yourself by doing something stupid like the 2nd incident. Don't like any parties, then don't come.
People, people, remember those simple tips OK..... and those who don't understand this simple rules, please don't go to the open house.....Got it...
Just enjoy your stay at home and let us enjoy ourselves without your present hahahahaha
Sister,
ReplyDeleteIf you're not mistaken about what actually happened at the party, I'd say it's unbelievable that those angpow grabbers grew up with Confucian moral values; these types are just crass money worshippers who come to wallop for free.
As for the idiot holed up in his car, it's clear his empty stomach is way more tolerant about politics than his befuddled bird brain!
At the end of the day we can only pray for Allah to free the children's minds and hearts from the ugly arrogance of their parents.
Pride and Arrogance ruin the harmony of humanity:

May you have much happier experiences at your Hari Raya feasts!
I am sorry that you had to meet such people; irregardless of race good manners and courtesy are important whenever we interact with anyone else. I am a non-Malay (with part Chinese blood)and I feel embarrassed by the things a lot of the Chinese do (too loud and rude) and to be frank I have often observed similar behavior in non-Chinese as well. Really I don't know what the society is coming to nowadays.
ReplyDeleteThose two incident really put me off for a while. But then I take it as a lesson for us to mind our manners regardless who we are.
