Why rich people have some strange “pe-el”…? sesi lepas geram...!

Bukan ler teman pakat nak mengutuk kengkawan sendiri kan…. TETAPI... teman nak berceghiter sket pasai 2 org kawan teman nih ler....

Deme nih dah masuk tahap ”high flyer” ler... business baguih2 punyer... flying here, flying there... biler dpt incentive from biz partner, pegi berjalan ke sana ke mari lagi…. ”Main objective” dtg Dubai sebab nak pegi shopping sempena Dubai Shopping Festival gitu... boley...? bayo duit tiket sampai MYR3500..., stay 4 hari, dan dtg mainly utk shopping, visiting places of interest is secondary matter...

but sebab teman nih jenih ada ”hemat” sket, teman pakse deme go discover Dubai... look at the city, the cultural side of things, do some tourist stuffs, visit some historical buildings etc etc.... jgn pegi negara org, tahu selok belok shopping mall jer, but history & culture of the people & the country, sepatah haram tak tahu…. “Yeah, yeah, yeah… money talks…”, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to open your mind and spirit to discover new stuffs…. aku peluku kepala korang sekor2 kang…!

So deme stayed at my place…. teman tertanya2 gak kenaper nak stay kat rumah teman yg sekangkang beruk nih…? Rumah kat Mesia sket punya besar giler… Takkan tak mampu ambik bilik hotel 3 bintang ker, 4 bintang ker,… 5 bintang ker… but never mind, benefit of the doubt, teman teghima deme dgn hati yg girang dan terbuka, bukan senang nak dpt geng2 Mesia dtg ziarah weh... lagipun (agn benefit of the doubt), bila deme tinggai kat apartment sekangkang beruk nih, maka senang ler sembang2 laser melaser gossip menggossip citer2 geng2 yg lain kat Mesia atau dimana2 deme berada demikianlah ceghiter nyer… lagipun, dedeme kate, kalo ramai org dtg ziarah rumah kita, banyak ler rezeki kita nanti… errr…. Betoi ker…? Teman dah start tertanya2…

deme berdua nih tak ler tau etiquette semase berziarah kengkawan… teman bangun awal pagi2, buat makan minum, bihun goreng, French toast, buat kopi, pegi beli roti baguette perancih yg segar bugar, beli croissant buat sandwich dgn telur.... siap lepas breakfast atau any snacks..., idok ler deme nak menolong membasuh pinggan sket pun…. Tahu ler mike berdua ada oghang gaji kat rumah yg siapkan segala, but then buat ler cara org Mesia... tolong2 ler sket...

sebab teman tahu ler sket sket yg deme nih are a bit fussy, sempena nak “make sure” that they have a good time here, teman propose itinerary during the stay here.... nyesal tak abih2 teman… itu tak kena lah, ini tak kena lah… nak pegi sini pulak, nak pegi sana pulak, tanya teman amende yg interesting to visit, bila teman propose, tak suka pulak, berkira pasal entrance fee… hmmm… awat fussy sgt…? Are you paying for this “tour guide” service? Didn’t you do some research at all about Dubai and check out the interesting things to visit? Kalau nak serah bulat2 kat teman, then shut up and follow… atau bagitahu awal2 what type of activities you wanna do while in Dubai… jgn last minute suruh check yg itu, check yg ini… what? Muka teman nih muka VIP tour service “gratis” ker…?

Bukanlah teman mengharap sgt, but since they were a bit of a hassle to handle, (sampai abis teman punya wknd camtu jer melayan karenah2 deme nih), hati teman pun terdetik jugak lah..., deme dtg ziarah teman nih, sebungkus haram buah tgn deme tak bawak utk teman…. Errr… tak pikio ker nak bawakkan karipap sket? Rencah2 Brahim ker…? Ikan bilis ker…? Rencah nasi goreng ker?....

Jenuh teman membawak deme kesana kemari… well, they had fun… they mentioned it, and thanked me for the “hospitality” (deme cakap masa nak ciao)… happy sebab ada org melayan karenah deme…. But teman sekarang nih, kome….. mcm rasa serik la pulak welcoming these well off friends… dah mcm tak sedar diri lak, demanding abih mcm Datuk Datin, and kedekut segala… kedekut kederat…, kedekut berbelanja kecuali utk diri sendiri (strangely enough, they only paid for 2 meals when we ate outside, the rest, I paid for all, or we went dutch… duit minyak pun tak menghulo…). Deme ingat teman nih kaya raya ker pun…? Again, sebab dah tak tahan melayan karenah deme nih lah yg hal2 remeh temeh nih pun terdetik kat ati teman…

Well… aper nak dikate… quite often, the richest are the “stingyiest”… kengkawan teman2 yg lain, walau se-limited budget camna, bila deme dtg ada gak bawak buah tgn (tak kisah ler how small), not fussy… dan layan jer… tak ler banyak songel… lagi senang layan geng2 nih…

So kengkawan… kalo nak dtg ziarah, dijemput dtg, teman sambut dgn ati terbuka…. TETAPI….!!! Jgn nak banyak songel…!! Aku peluku kepala korang sekor2 kang…!! Nak banyak songel, sila talipon ”Arabian adventures”, get a quotation for Dubai tour... kalo servis deme tak baguih, boley complaint kat hq deme, k....!!

Ciao cincau...

1. Err... teman letak another condition, yg dtg dari Mesia tuh, sila bawak rencah2 ready mix (tak kira ler rencah nasi goreng ker, aper2 ler... yg simple2 jer)... kalo tak bawak, teman reject kat airport lagi...., dan silalah ke mana2 htl kat Dubai nih stay kat sana jer... hehe...

2. terdetik gak kat ati teman... geng2 nih jenih dah lupe ker Malaysian cultural etiquettes when visiting friends...? kalo teman buat kelas mengajo Malaysian cultural etiquettes, boley laku tak kelas tuh...? hmmm...
