ramblings

I was watching a Malay drama the other day (yes, saddo makcik that I am) and realised that the one statement which truly reflects us Malaysians, with brutal honesty, is something one of the pakciks in the drama said, which was "Walaumacamana pun, kita minum dulu!"

That is the favourite tagline for our everyday life. Got a deadline? "Walaumacamana pun, kita minum dulu!" Ada orang datang merisik? "Walaumacamana pun, kita minum dulu!" Have to report for duty at 8.30 am? "Walaumacamana pun, kita minum dulu!"

I quite like it actually. It's a simple answer to life's problems rather than the unnaturally-optimistic-sounds-like-it-came-from-a-politician's-mouth tagline of "Malaysia boleh!"
