#SayaZahra Review
Bismilah.
******* WARNING: Read at your discretion. Contain LONG and not so understandable article that I come up with myself. The language is half broken English and half broken Malay.
Today I was like totally in mood for some writing. I decided to write a review on the viral issue of #SayaZahra. Who is Zahra ? Zahra is a 23 years old Law graduate from IPT dekat Malaysia, dan sebagai tambahan, ada baiknya jika aku bagitau yang Zahra punya course from her uni tidak diikitiraf. Kenapa dia jadi viral ? Because of the video of her speech yang korang boleh jumpa kalau klik link kat bawah ni.
[ #SayaZahra ]
This one is very hilarious and DEEP [lol]. Anyway, first found this video when one of my class mates uploaded it to our class whatsapp group. I spend that 7 minutes attentively listening while laughing and deeply touched by her. Calm your tits because this is MY review on #SayaZahra. So here it is.
First, lets talk about unnecessary "PEMBAYANGAN" in the opening of her speech. So she talked about how she imagine KEINDAHAN her life would be after graduate because of the BIG SALARY she would get. Well I do imagine that somtimes considering that I deserve to get BIG SALARY sesuai dengan kelulusan aku. Sebab tak salah bila kita nak impikan sesuatu yang lebih baik kan ?
Tapi janganlah terlalu mengharapkan segalanya will turned out well after dah habis study. Before you imagine about the BIG SALARY, sepatutnya kau kena fokus dulu about WHERE YOU WILL WORK AFTER YOU GRADUATE ? Bagi aku itu persoalan penting apabila aku MEMBAYANGKAN masa depan aku selepas aku tamat ijazah. Gaji BESAR akan datang dengan job yang kau dapat. KALAU kau dapat. Hahaha.
Then she continues . .
[ . . dengan gaji yang diperolehi, saya dapat merancang masa depan dengan lebih teratur." ]
Like seriously Zahra ? Hahah, no, even without BIG SALARY, you can still plan your future.
Secondly, The Emotion.
She said that she was marah and kecewa dangan nasib yang menimpa dia setelah dua tahun bergelar graduan. Her everyday was like kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang. Okay, before we go on to her next big words, let comment on this first.
[ Kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang ]
Tentang orang yang sangat miskin dan rezekinya hanya cukup untuk sehari sahaja
Keadaannya samalah seperti kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang kerana upahnya hanya cukup untuk perbelanjaan sehari sahaja walaupun dia bekerja dari siang hingga malam.
Firstly, Zahra DO you even know how is it to be living in kais pagi makan pagi situation ? Lemme tell you. For 10 year old me, back when our family are so poor, it was really devastating. My mom was the only one working. She ONLY got 400 ringgit salary with three children (still in school at that time ) and lots to pay. Okay, maybe aku exaggerated something tapi bila aku flash back all the moments when my mom works so hard to fed us three, sekolah kitorang, burdened by all the bils and sometimes kami hanya makan nasi berlaukan telur kicap dan sometimes meggi for dinner dan aku dengar mengenai kehidupan dia yang ibarat kais pagi makan pagi TETAPI pakai keta ayah dia dan bayar 500 setiap bulan, duduk rumah 500 sebulan, aku rasa nak hempuk Zahra ni sebab salah dalam menggunakan peribahasa Melayu.
okay, its irrelevant to kaitkan 2004 dan 2015 situation[ economy and ringgit value related] but I just want to give some example on how the peribahasa should be used ! Macam mana kau boleh kaitkan kehidupan kau kais pagi makan pagi bila kau still boleh pakai kereta ? Come on lah, takkan laa peribahasa pun masih nak kena ajar macam mana nak guna ?
And for the record, YES FUCK***G YES REALITY IS NOT SO BEAUTIFUL AS WE THOUGHT IT WILL BE.
Dan pada akhir bulan, Zahra kena naik LRT sebab poket dah kosong ? Hehehe, kenapa tak naik LRT dari awal bulan ? Save duit kau 500 Zahra. Takpun bagi je parents kau 500 macam tuh je, Tak perlu nak bawa keta g kerja. Guna waktu nak beli barang dan gunakan untuk benda penting sahjo. Duit minyak pun kau dapat save.
Keinginan untuk membeli rumah bakal tinggal jadi angan angan untuk tempoh yang lama. Sebab 10 peratus daripada harga rumah memerlukan 5-7 tahun untuk disediakn. Now, I don't live around Ampang or Melawati, sampai sana pun tak pernah. But she said you need to have at least 9K salary to get a house around that area.
Zahra : Mampukah saya ?
Alia : NO ! Kau tak mampu, apa kata kau buka brochure or a website about houses in another area that cost you less and fit to your budget ?
Kau sewa bilik 500 SEBULAN ? No comment laa. Sebab aku tahu taraf hidup di semenanjung dan Sabah is different but with 500 sebulan in MELAKA, kau boleh dapat rumah sebijik zahra, share 5-6 orang, dapatlaa sorang bayar 100 sorang. Anyway, pasal rumah around KL yang Zahra sebut sebutkan tuh, korang boleh rujuk kat article ni http://www.beritasemasa.com.my/bajet-beli-rumah-di-kuala-lumpur-gaji . Ada betulnya apa yang dia cakap pasal rumah tuh. Actually, even my sister pun pening cari duit tuk deposit harga rumah. So 1 point for Zahra about the house.
Zahra,
Tak perlu laa nak kahwin dengan lelaki kaya untuk lepas diri dari kesusahan( kos peperiksaan, hutang PTPTN, uni tak diikitiraf). Banyak lagi cara kak Zahra oii. Well, the thought actually do cross MY mind sometimes because that way is one hella good way to live comfortably without any effort. Tapi itu bukan satu peyelesaian yang sempurna. I mean, macam mana kalau laki kaya kita jatuh bankrup ? You marry him for his money aite ? Jadi bila dia dah takda duit, takkan nak tinggal je macam tuh. Bukan menyelesaikan masalah, menambahkan masalah lagi adalah.
Dan memang untuk mencari pendapatan sampingan itu susah bila you have pekerjaan tetap. Tapi kalau plan betul betul how and what you're going to do to have a better life, aku rasa tak mustahil. BUT WAIT ! takkanlaa sebab gaji kau tak BESAR, kau takleh plan masa depan kau ? Terang lagi bersuluh itu semua bullshit. Sebab ramai je aku tengok akak abang kat insta dan FB buat peniagaan sampingan even dorang ada kerja tetap.
Every problem ada solution. Hanya perlu USAHA sahaja. Samada kita nak buat atau tak. Tapi Zahra cakap dia bukan jenis yang cepat putus asa so kipidap Zahra. I hope that you can plan well for an extra income or maybe get yourself a rich husbando (hope you love him along with his money).
"BELAJAR TINGGI TINGI AKHIRNYA MENGEMIS JUGA"
I know reality is so not beautiful as we thought it will be but bila Zahra cakap macam tuh I was like WHAT REALLY OMG !! [ Please add some stupid screamng around this moment] I mean, bila dia cakap maca ni, sebagai seorang pelajar universiti, I AM FREAKIN SCARED. Yelah, dah macam peribahasa Melayu 'perempuan belajar tingi tingi pun, di dapur jugak'. Haha, I hope people can find the resemble in those two sentence. Macam sumpahan pun ada. Dan bila dia cakap masa depan graduan Melayu amatlah kelam dan kelabu I was like, am I excluded cause I'm not Malay ? Then ak tengok banner dia yang bertajuk LAPORAN SOSIO-EKONOMI MELAYU. Of course it will be focusing on Malay.
And regard to your parents. May Allah bless them and you a great health.
Okay, aku takleh nafikan bila dia cakap macam tuh, aku sedikit paranoid jugak sebab ekonomi pun bukan stabil sangat kan ? Dan in the next 3-4 years, aku pun tak pasti apa yang bakal berlaku. Tapi bak kata Zahra, REZEKI DI TANGAN TUHAN. I do believe that.
Apakah harapan anak Malaysia yang lain ?
That's a question that worth to ponder. Another 1 point for you Zahra.
Lastly, I'm not being racist tapi bila dia cakap yang Melayu umpama pendatang di bumi sendiri aku macam like seriously what ? Ini aku malas nak komen sebab kalau aku nak komen pasal ni, it will be another long post of fury and anguish.
So sekian for the review. I was just spending my time doing nothing since I'm currently on semester break. So consider this review if from the view of someone who is still studying but still have functioning mind.
To Zahra, your speech was somehow inspiring because you made me write. Yes, you are brave for pointing out your hardship in life in front of the Deputy of PM and salute you for that. But it looked like it was scripted, try not to look often at your script when giving a speech. It makes you less convincing. Then again, I wish you good luck and have a blessed life.
