aku kawan je dengan laki.
but i don't know why, it has been a while since aku kena fikir dulu sebelum nak berkawan. perlu ke? ada sebab? if we need to, if there's a reason, then hello!
tapi kalau tak... cam tak perlu pun sebenarnya kan.
like i've said to a friend "you're a girl, he's a guy. you can ditch him anytime." BEFORE YOU GUYS ACCUSE ME OF BEING THE REASON WHY YOUR GIRL, OOPS, LADY FRIENDS END IT, lemme just say i utter that line only under certain circumstances. for example if a girl dah ada bakal laki, bakal laki dia tak suka sorang laki yang salu contact dia, contact yang tak perlu dan takde sebab, bukannya kau bff dia ke apa, even bff pun boundaries man, boundaries, maka wajarlah dinasihatkan sedemikan rupa.
tapi sebab aku takde bakal laki lagi (hahahaha sobs), jadi aku nasihat diri sendiri. wink sikit lol
mungkin nasihat tu bunyi kasar, tapi itulah kebenarannya. tu pun kira dah longgar dah peraturan aku ni, kalau hollier-than-thou tau mesti kata aku liar hahah. so aku kawan dengan laki yang aku kena kawan; macam kawan sekelas. aku lek je ngan classmate aku. bila dah selesa kita cam bro-bro ah takde hal lah. dan dengan laki yang aku nak kawan; macam kawan lama. zaman aku biasa dgn laki, tak fikir lagi pasal ni. tu pun berapa kerat je tinggal, kalau aku kerat jari lagi banyak daripada kawan laki aku hahaha sobs.
ye aku pernah suka member ngan laki, zaman sekolah rendah. dari zaman merempit basikal sampai zaman baru nak up hahah. tapi rasanya sekarang aku dah evolusi, cey. takdela cam dulu lagi. sekarang kalau laki nak datang rumah, sebab nak masuk minang je ok (ada ke tak nak masuk belakang kira). setakat nak beraya bagai takyah, unless ada perempuan sekali. UNLESS AKU MEMANG NAK LAYAN KAU. omg teringat ada sekali tu, zaman tidak dinyatakan, budak laki ramai nak datang rumah, tanpa perempuan. ok takpe lagi. masalahnya yang datang tu yang aku memang taknak layan. sejak bila kita jadi kawan? kau dah menyakitkan hati aku, pastu muka tak malu datang rumah aku ingat aku nak bancuh air potong ketupat untuk kau segala. eh memang tak lahhh. sentap. ok lupakan salah topik ni.
astaghfirullah sabar sabar assobru minal iman.
masalah aku sekarang aku taktau nak cakap camne.
how to explain in a way that makes sense, and is socially acceptable? aku bukan muslimah bertudung labuh yang memang tak berkawan dengan ajnabi. berurusan sekadar perlu, takde huha huha, mata pandang kasut. aku berkawan, cuma... bersyarat. if i were that kinda girl bolehlah cakap sebab aku tak kawan ngan laki. ni tak. kalau alasan tu aku kasi, rasa munafiq betul diri ini. kang dorang tengok aku lek je ngan laki tertentu, dorang salah faham pulak. aku pun tak faham diri sendiri. katela aku ada crush, atas sebab misteri yang tak dapat difahami akalku dia nak kawan dengan aku, omagod aku taktaula camne. sekali aku ke mana peraturan ke mana. see, i don't know. that's why i don't know what to say.
please don't say i'm poyo, pilih kawan, hipokrit, bajet, saje kasi alasan and whatnot. none of it is true :( and it's not even you! it's.... me. sobs. it's not because i think i'm cooler than you, or you don't have a certain value, or you're not worthy of friendship. sometimes i think someone is cool and i like to talk to them, but i feel i shouldn't. when i get carried away i'm like, ama what have you done? you should stop! partly because when i do respond it's out of guilt and boredom, even if it is nice talking to them. that probably explains kenapa aku macam biskut. jap ade jap takde jap hot jap cold. i'm not using people! or unless you are using me, in which case i guess we're cool.
but that doesn't mean we're friends.
idk. i think the older we get, the more expensive the tittle 'friend' is.
by expensive i don't mean that my friendship comes with a price. aku tak maksudkan dorang kena keringkan poket untuk aku. it just means i don't give it away that easily. of course with girls, it is easy. pompuan kan? we have no boundary! hua hua hua. but with guys, it's a different story. just because we talk, doesn't mean we're friends. just because we once laughed together, doesn't make us friends. just because we've known each other for a while, doesn't make me your friend. because i'm not your friend, we should no longer talk and laugh together. we just know each other.
it's kinda like the white people thing, if you think about it. kan cite omputeh salu cam "no we aren't friends." padahal partner lab report, jiran tetangga, deskmate setahun, orang yang kalau dalam budaya kita memang kita dah panggil kawan. see lain benar barat dengan timur, tsk tsk. but that's not what i'm doing ok.
it's not like we won't be friends ever, but there's no need to push it. if it happens, it happens. just go with the flow. say one day we end up being in a group project and have to interact, or i do follow the flow, drown, and a guy becomes my hero, then we shall be friends.
or you can simply buy my friendship with food k no
i've been told that i'm cruel, cold, harsh, heartless. but i'm not. i'm just a girl with silly rules. a nice girl, at that. lulz.
i was just told recently that i was "judgmental about other people's sincerity." among other adjectives above, this one hit me the hardest. i felt so bad :( i'm really sorry. i was taken aback because judgmental is one of the last things i want to be. i despise judgmental people, and when that happens due to personal experience, you know i'm serious. i know i'm not judgmental... i hope so. i just feel it's not necessary. it's just how i am.
i don't know why and when did i change to be this person.
i remember those days when i only relied on one source about religion matters and believed anything strict enough to sound islamic. pardon my noobness. i read about how guys and girls should not be friends AT ALL. how sinful and wrong it was, how i was 'bergelumang dengan perkara haram'. it bothered me so much because i cared about some guy friends, and how would i make it in this world where interaction between males and females is a daily basis? i was only in school and boys were everywhere, nevermind college and workplace... later in life i understood. in matters like this it's not white and black. you're gonna know your limit. but that doesn't mean the limit is a black line drawn on a white floor. you've gotta adapt yourself and find the limit within you, so it suits your environment and situation. you won't be tempted to cross the line, as you know from the inside what you should not do. the rules are just a guideline. it can't be broken, but bent. back then i thought islam was difficult. but now i know it's rather sensible. maybe my view will change again, but at least that's how i see it now. and now, i'm just find with the way i choose to befriend boys.
so what islam says does play a part in this, but not solely.
is it because of my personal experience? befriending boys means bitterness in the past, like i've talked about in a
previous post. is it because of others' experience? someone once just layan this one dude and now that dude perasan telling people about how he 'got' her or something. geez. i didn't ask what did he mean by saying i was judgmental about his sincerity. maybe he thought i thought he was taking advantage of me? i don't think he had ulterior motives or something up his sleeve. siapalah aku nak perasan, i once thought so. but look what happened the last time i agreed to be just friends?
a lot.
i'm not being self-conscious, i'm simply being cautious.
the way i see it now, when guys are friends with girls, they might end up liking them. with me, they might end up hating me. it can go both ways. if you're lucky, you have a neutral friendship with no feeling. well if you two love each other, then you're very lucky. if it's one sided, you're not lucky. but i'm not sure what it is when friends develop mutual hatred.... hmm.
so in order to not friendzone or defriendzone anyone, i choose to strangerzone. good eh?
"you're not even friendzoned. you're strangerzoned. you may pack your bags."
strangerzone is a safe zone, there's less collateral damage.
i would probably overlook the zones if the zone lines are clear, ironically. if you keep it blurry, i will make it clear for you. but if i've already made it clear but you're still blur blur memang aku taktaula nak cakap apa. apa yang aku tau, tak baik buat taktau terus. sekali dua diam kalau dia faham takpe. but if someone is persistent, it's not nice to be persistent in the opposite way. at least explain. make them understand.
but some people are bad at explaining and understanding :(
it's just weird when people want to be friends with you. when they don't have to, but they want to. when they want to get to know you. i mean why??? call me naive but i believe some people might really want to be just friends after all. cuma tak perlu. call me vain but i also believe there's no reason why people want to be 'just friends' at all. sebab tak perlu. yes i believe both and i go back and forth. but maybe it's just me. who knows? other people may actually have genuine interest in others and have nothing but a genuine intention in being nothing more and less but friends.
maybe i'm like this because i know guys. despite having very few guy friends now, i had been friends with a lot of guys. i can see through their disguise, i can recite their playbook. partly because i helped to hide it and write it, and in other cases i was also the one who blew up the disguise and burnt the book. so i know some type of guys when i see it. sorry for sounding mean, i'm probably just biased because of some reasons. reasons which caused my large circle of guy friends to shrink into a small circle. the smaller the better. trust can't be given to just anyone. i know not all guys are like this, but trust me when i say most i know, are.
because of this, it has occurred to me what if i get a guy who i can't figure out? hmmm.
i'm not gonna lie. i want a best guy friend. just a normal guy friend who's not gonna be intimidated when i do better than him, who's not gonna degrade me when he's above me, who won't hate me for irrational reasons and who won't like me for reasons i can't even imagine. well, unless it's mutual, haha.
i know dudes yang muka skema, nerd, innocent, padahalll. tu lah masalahnya bebudak pandai ni. pandai berkata-kata. being intellectual makes you interesting. unique hobbies swoon girls. but not all girls will be swooned by your sweet talk. spesis yang sweet talk pun ada yang bukan sweet talk corny tau tapi sweet talk classy. spesis camni tah-tah dah biasa buat. dah enough prektis. sebab tu pro je, berani je. kalau tak takdela bersungguh gila dengan pick up line versi genius semanis gula. taktaula pulak kalau naturally talented ke kan.
kalau perempuan awal-awal dah cakap tak nak, tanpa niat jual mahal, maksudnya memang taknak la. memang taknak jual. you can be different and ok to get to know better, but there's no reason to get to know each other. you find a girl different, ok she's flattered but no thanks. memang nak kawan je pun tapi tak kawan pun takpe kan. walau macam mana best pun rasanya berkawan dengan kau.
aku rasa alasan terbaik yang mesti mustajab adalah:
"sorry, tunang/suami tak kasi kawan dengan laki."
settle.
so... anyone wants to help me with it HAHAH K STAHP
i don't friendzone people so this is general, but it's DEM FUNEEY
i'm so sorry if anyone reads this and feel offended, trust me it's just me. but don't blame me :(
even kawan aku pun pelik dengan aku. dia cakap dia takde pun fikir camni. kawan je. she said i make it a point to be cautious. and trust me she's a waaay better girl than i am. idk la it just feels wrong.
what doesn't feel wrong, though, if it is done in certain ways.
ok memang bias tapi kesah hape aku that's the fine art man if you don't know that it's your loss. cey.
being the matchmaker and wingwoman that i once was, lemme give you guys some tips and tricks lah eh. you can use it to be just friends or more than friends, but to be the former you've gotta know where to stop and to be the latter you've got to go all the way to the end. ni bukan untuk aku, takde sape nak guna kat aku pun kan sebab tu la aku share ni because how dare you use my own spell against me, Potter?! ok tetiba.
so ye ni untuk pompuan macam aku. i may look girly but i would like to be a guy with guys. so instead of kau datang nak berkenalan, tak kesahlah dengan cara rempit atau cara geek, baik kau terus kasi salam hai tanya cerita apa-apa yang patut. bila kau datang wanting to be friends when you're not even friends, it gives the idea that you want to be more than friends. and usually the way you talk gives you away. what else would you want then? i know MANY GUYS would agree with me and i have detected MANY ATTEMPTS before guys even confess to my friends. so when there's the idea, pompuan spesis kami akan rasa tak selesa, segan, dan sebagainya. mereka akan retreat, atau mereka akan attack. we don't want that now do we. what you want is to make them as comfortable with you as possible. biar dorang jadi biasa macam dengan kawan biasa. aku taktau orang lain macam mana tapi aku sangat selesa beraku kau dengan laki. pompuan lain mungkin rasa tu kasar, in fact ada laki yang cakap aku/kau dengan pompuan tu kasar. aku rasa tak, apa yang kasar ialah cara kau cakap bukan apa kau cakap paham? bila perempuan dah selesa, you're in the right zone which is the friendzone. fret not! with girls like this, being in the friendzone is the ultimate highway to the marriagezone. but if all you want is the couplezone, dia bom highway kau pastu kau terpelanting balik ke strangerzone, bleeding in pieces. doesn't sound good eh.
but on top of it all, the best way is not when you want to be someone's friend because you like them. it's when you like someone because you are their friend.

bila aku baca balik post ni, masalah dia bunyi macam pasal laki nak jadi lebih dari kawan. padahal pasal laki nak jadi kawan je pun. benda yang bukan masalah pun jadi masalah, lulz.
i don't even know when this starts to be a problem to me, geez.
