Not Fun Anymore

There are times when you need to be specific, and other times when you need not.

All these ‘Selamat Hari Raya to all my muslim friends’ wishes bother me.

Well, I understand if you’re trying to be politically correct and all but it’s really unnecessary. Why? Because I have off-days on Hari Raya too, dumbass!!

Let’s face it, we ALL celebrate every single festival there is. Public holidays, open house concepts and neighbor being all muhibbah and sending cookies over. I get stuck in traffic with the rest of the nation during the Raya exodus, I get the same Raya discounts in shopping malls and I get dates from McD’s when I buy stuff during berbuka times.

The same goes when it’s Chinese New Year and Deepavali and what other festival there is.

Therefore I rather hear a “Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends”. That’s all, no ‘muslim’, no ‘chinese’, no ‘hindu’.

But I understand that there are people who think otherwise.

That we will lose their culture and identity if these things go out of hand.

Well, newsflash, dude… culture is not something to be lost so easily and what’s wrong with sharing, if only a little?

For one, when it’s Chinese New Year, I’m gonna wish everyone “Gong Xi Fa Cai”. Just that, none of those “to all my Chinese friends” bullshit.
