:: Selfish ke Unselfish..sometimes you have to play by rules::

It's been 2 days following Idris to bazar. Sarah bawak sekali. Semalam after a 2hour journey from JB to Melaka, kesian pulak nak leave her behind with Mom. So packed an extra thin layer matress and a table fan in Mamu Nizam's Van and took off to Bazar. Hmm everything went well, she was super excited as the van had so much space (after all the things being displayed). Fan to keep her dry from sweat. She sang and played while me and Idris took turns on the booth and her. It went well..sale was good and we got home around 2pm. Sarah slept at 3pm. We had sahur and slept.

Second day, I packed my Lappy with 2DVD's for her to watch. After packing food at LOT 85 we stop at the National mosque for Iftar and Solat and headed to the bazar. Well second day went as well as the 1st. Only had some issues with the other dwellers there. Ye la...this sentiment will never fade from the Malays. ' Ala xpe sikit je x banyak'..' ala alih sikit je..saya nak berniaga'..abih awak sorang je ke yang nak berniaga? kalau semua ikut perangai awak mmg la asyik bergaduh je? kenapa ade setengah boleh ikut setengah tidak.

The ISSUE:: Khemah 8x8 and Khemah 6x6.
The management sediakan tapak 7x7. So of course la khemah either fit 7x7 or kecik sikit 6x6. Kalau beli 8x8 banyak tau beza. Hampir 30 cm. Khemah jual either 6x6, 8x8, 10x10.So if besar dari 7kaki akan makan tapak orang sebelah and nanti dia x cukup tempat. Management dah inform, highlight...tapi some people fikir begini:: 1.Ala xpela besar sikit je xkan orang kisah, kita amik sikit je.2. ala dia alih je la tapak sebelah x rasa apa pun, kita pun dapat la besar sikit:: orang macam ni dia x tahu betapa besar nye 1kaki tu.Kalau semua orang berfikirian begini, mmg la x akan muat satu khemah pun, and yang ikut peraturan pulak kena tindas. Ini la yang happen. We ada 6x6, sebelah kanan kami pun 6x6 tapi yang sebelah kiri semua 8x8. Lepas tu dia boleh lak cakap cam ni::

PK: Alih  sana sikit
US: Tak boleh bang orang sebelah nanti khmah dia x muat
PK: dia berniaga ke?
US: yela bang dia lambat sikit je ni.
PK: abih saya nak berniaga ni khmah x muat.
US: saya tahu bang tunggu la dia datang saya nak kena tanya dia, nak amik tapak dia satu kaki.saya khemah memang ngam tempat saya ni, abang nak amik tempat saya pulak.
PK: ala xpe sikit je..
US: abang tgk eh 1 kaki banyak ni, nanti dia langgar la tapak sebelah, kang sebelah marah pulak..
PK: abih macam mana??

If me the one to answer:: Abang beli 8x8 apasal? salah kami ke khemah abang besar, abih kami bayar sama je, ade yang lebih mahal dari abang bayar dapat tapak x sepadan dengan lesen. Adil ke? Abang nak bayar tuk 1 kaki...?

That if it was me, but in the name of neighbourhood and the holy month of Ramadhan, we give and take. alih la sikit. Tapi betul kan, my neighbour had to slip a bit in to the next neighbour which made the other neighbour x puas hati. Then how? if follow by rules...boleh je we just jaga our tapak. Selfish kan. The ones that beli khemah besar is all the newbies. 1st time dapat tapak bazar. This is our second yr and sebelah kanan we all dah ol timers..dah masak dah with bazar, jadi mestila diorang bising. For years diorang leh patuh alih alih datang orang baru nak arah arah. Esok jaga la korang..nasib la x muat JANGAN BUKAK KHEMAH. Pasal korang, orang lain kena marah.Korang leh buat dek je cam x salah and susun barang. Apa salah korang pun datang tolong EXPLAIN why kitorang terpaksa makan tapak orang.



ps:: when there are rules. try your best to abide!!
