"i just dont understand why parents nowadays like to throw big birthday parties like that for their kids. awal-awal dah nunjok ngan anak dirik banyak duit. ujong-ujong kelak anak nait palak. maok tok berik maok ya berik. berik berik berik..."
i had a conversation with mama on how parents nowadays treat their kids
like how they pamper them so much,
give this give that.
you know
like before the baby was even born they threw a baby shower
then the majlis akikah would be like a wedding
and then the kid turned 1, they threw a big birthday party
and it doesnt even end there.
second birthday,
third birthday, fourth, fifth and so on.
next thing you know, the kids grew up to be spoil brats
im glad that i wasnt raised that way.
Alhamdulillah.
i celebrated my birthdays with my family and friends
in which we celebrated it like once a month.
you know,
kumpul semua birthday cousins sekali then celebrate sekali.
with one cake.
sharing.
well basically, it was just to get everyone together.
because
well,
that's what my family likes to do.
get together and eat together.
my mom and i even joked about it:
"ma, have you thrown me a big birthday party?"
"nope. not that i know off. i dont think so. oh wait, the one in kuching?"
"ma, that's different. like that's normal makan makan macam biasa.."
"well then, no. pahal? maok kah?"
"maok! kamek mok polah di......."
"hotel?! bah polah lah..."
"yes! jemput keith foo boleh sik?"
"jempuuuttt... apahal sik jemput lona?"
"lona who?"
"aieh.. lotna.. telotna.. the one on your computer screen.."
"aoklah hooo! we share the same birthday! okay forget keith foo. imma call lautner tonight!"
