Assignment 2

Terpaksa Tukar Tajuk. Tapi tak apa, I ekcherli nak cakap pasal trophy dan hal-hal berkaitan dengan trophy.

Dalam department forensic Mental Health, trophy adalah sesuatu yang boleh dikaitkan dgn benda2 seram. And by seram I don't mean Ju-On. I used to work in High Security Mental Health Facility. Bolehlah setakat nak mencantikkan CV dan mencari pengalaman. Nak ber station lelama, takut I pulak yang mati sakit jantung. People always say that there is something for everybody. Some things are for you and some things not. Loyar Sabung Ayam pernah bagitau I yang kerja bergaduh hentak kaki tangan depan tuan hakim adalah bukan dia. Kepakaran bergaduhnya is limited to bergaduh dgn orang pejabat tanah aje. Tu pun bergaduh secara halus. She is by far, cannot match the skills of Karpal Singh. Skill Cik Seripah Lisenlisenlisen adalah jauh sekali.  

BTW, I am sure that Seripah Lisenlisenlisen tu ada issue dalaman, but let's that be another story for another day ye. 

Okay, let's do this for now. Sila kaji kenapa....orang suka kata lelaki yang hensekem adalah untuk fomfuen yang chantekk saja. Kadang2 comment puaka ni datang nya dari kawum2 pompuan dan ada jugak yang datang nya dari orang jantan----yang bermulut cam pompuan lah kann..in this case. I have read some similar articles discussing this.Reading the article makes me sad. 

Masa I kat sekolah ujung donia kat bukit gondol tu, I know this average looking girl yang ber BFF jejaka macho lagi pujaan ramai. If I am honest, you are talking Yusof Haslam & Fauziah Nawi. You would expect that Yusof Haslam would date the like of Noor Kumalasari or Aida Rahim and leave people who look like Abu Bakar Omar to chase after Fauziah Nawi. So yes, this Fauziah Nawi looking friend of mine baik dgn Yusof Haslam look alike. Too close that they sent V card to each other tapi tak pernah pun declare rasa chenta. I think my Fauziah Nawi fren diam2 menaruh hati. But of course, kita kan anak dara Gen X yang sungguh tinggi sifat kemaluan. You don't approach a boy to tell him you syiok him. But their open closeness begs kata-kata sumbang mambang cilanat like, pakwe dia ensemmm...girl dia tak berapa. Tak balance sangat. Kata2 itu akhirnya sampai jugak ke telinga si Fauziah Nawi ni, and hey...tak ke berdentum self-esteem kau dengar? That people think only women who look hot deserve devotion. Fabulous people deserve fabulous things / partners / etc. 

Last2 Yusof Haslam boy started going out steadily with Maria Arshad looking girl. Barulah ada acceptance gitu. But looking back and now, people think that one suitable pair is the one who is deem 'suitable pair'. Whether the partnership works on more reasonable foundation i.e. I get you, you get me..and we do understand each other jokes warts and all is a different story. 

If you are Aaron Ajis, (hensem ke dia ni?) and yes, you must go out with Fazura. Biarlah Fazura tu mengilai serupa Musang mengawan and thinks URTV is cool and everyone must have reading materials is Mangga Magazine. Trophy gilpren lah sangat. Tu kot yang agaknya kawin 2,3 bulan tak sampai pastu, buat lah statement, saya tak bersefahaman, kan?

 
I think that's what we're taught, right? Fabulous, or even just good people deserve good things & deserve to be appreciated for what they are. But how come so many people appear to not have learned the same lesson? Or, even if they had, don't practise it? Sometimes I'm quite surprised by the response of this but goes to show that it IS important to have people think like that. Like, to make people think a tad - and to make women who feel shit about themselves have more faith in their own identity and physical appearance. 

Being someone who had years of image issues, even now, I am still trouble by compliment yang berbunyi 'Makji, you're beautiful'. Automatically I pikir dia tu rabun tak pun ada babi disebalik kuehtiau. Mulalah I pun malu2 rimau jawab, you really think so? It's just not always the feedback that I've been given I think. Nasib I baik lah...I takde lah kawan yang pi cakap kat I yang I ni hitam lah, gemuk lah, gonjeng la..tak menarik jalan cam kingkong etc etc (but I am sure set2 perasan chantik tu akan cakap belakang2 I) 

In the midst of more and more campaigns to push for acceptance of different body sizes it is also far off from changing people's mindset. Ye lah...people like me, manakah layak nak berdampingan dgn Nuar Zain kannn? 

Kita pun sering disajikan dgn gambar2 kahwin sucessful man (if they are not blessed with good facial exterior) dgn all these doll up women. Kita yang tak berapa nak doll ni rasa, hmmm....unless if there's a little help from my fren Mr and Mrs Mak Esah dari Siam nun...jangan kau mimpilah nak merasa ber wedding of the year dgn jutawan. 

So back to trophy,  besides the material things we acquire along the way, bf/gf kita juga secara tak langsung boleh menjadi trophy material juga. Tak payah kata bf/gf lah, choices of friends, menantu pun termasuk jua.

I ingat lagi, aruah makcik I. Menantu sulong nya adalah Puan Doktor. Yess...sesiapa saja yang hadhir ke kenduri tahu akan fakta itu. But anak dia pun kerja2 biasa aje...dan Puan Doktor ini pun...average looking macam I lah. Cousin I tu hensem. But I am sure, Puan Doktor got good personality and fact is she is fun to be around with. But I am sure if my cousin is a Doctor or Engineer himself, he will be fishing for another fish with make up and eye lashes yang sama padan dengan nya. But her status, shut all the mulut puaka. Kau hado menantu Doktor? Kalau takdo, diam!

Oh ye, must you all know, Kiah is my trophy friend. Being around Kiah, made me feel so glamer. Ye lah...Kiah kan blogger famous. So, I sort of tagging Kiah for social climbing, bley?

But, beside the point though, it's like if a 'successful' woman is in a relationship with a seemingly 'slacker'-type man. Same shit, different permutation.

What about jantan yang membawak trophy future wife mereka untuk ditunjukkan kat mak? In this modern day, ada lagi mak-mak set Kampung Bongek yang nak anaknya keluar dgn pompuan set-set Wardina aje. Kalau secara praktikal nya of course jejantan akan memilih untuk berbinikan Zarina Anjoulie, tapi kalau kau nak merasa kena sumpah dgn mak kau, bawaklah Zarina Anjoulie tu balik kampung ye? Suruh Dia pakai skirt paling pendek dan baju paling sendat so that anything 32B can look like 36DD. 

Or it is, jantan hanya nak memperbinikan set2 Wardina saja but bersedap-sedapan dgn set-set Zarina?  Tu lagi macam sial. 

So whatever happened to accepting seseorang itu kerana keunikan perangai nya? 

So, is our current partner now, our prized trophy?
