Ridiculous yet Malaysian are so Flexible...

My parent is not away for two weeks for their first ever oversea travel. Quite happy when it shows that they can really start to enjoy their life from now onwards. As we are getting adults and self independent, they can put down all the stuff and worries. And we can support them financially, in fact, quite proud and happy of this. Finally, it is time to repay all their efforts on nurturing us.

Mum is not at home. So, who cooks? hmn hmn... this is a good question yet easy to solve.. haha.. so for this weekend, i got to solve my breakfast, lunch and dinner outside... haha...

My lunch for today is MarryBrown Nasi Lemak. Suddenly gt this urge for this. Maybe coz i recount back that i had this during cny time with my bros and sis. Taste not bad so i decide to have my lunch there. It is still tasting nice... but, the sambal is so little. so i request more from the waitress there.. After a while, a malay waitress brings the sambal to me. With smile, she said: "Tambah chilli kena tambah satu ringgit". SWEAT.... I'm eating your nasi lemak and i request for more chili. It needs to cost me one ringgit. not that stupid.. so i replied: "Satu ringgit? Tak mau le.." Still feeling quite stupid for paying one ringgit for sambal.. it is just ridiculous...

Guess.. what the waitress replied...

"Tak apa la.."

The sambal is now free of charge.. haha... dunnoe should i laugh or wat... the thing is supposed to be sold at one ringgit... but then, now given free by the waitress.... is this flexible? or what?

From this small incident, can see that how Malaysian treats things. I believed Malaysians are really "cincai" and does not care much. Pros and cons. When nothing happens, then, it is good, everyone is happy. "You are so kind", "Thank you, you are a good man" and etc compliments will be appeared.

BUT, i think this is also the reason why ppl have the impression that stuff which made in malaysia is sub-standard. Mainly, because we are really quite "cincai" and we have the mentally of "never mind", "it won't affect much", "tak apa la" and etc. Also, i think this is where all our corruption happens. I dunnoe if this is true. But this is wat i feel and wat i guess. Because, all of us are being so "flexible" and so good at "twist and turn". haha...

P.S. No insult... i'm malaysian too and also very flexible... but, i really feel tat we need to change and improve.... :)
