You know, there is always something up in Mondays. For me, it is time to catch up with friends – after hiding out (or, hibernating) in the weekends. And because Mondays are psychologically long (for me), I always lighten up my day by reading blogs and some of (my favorite) columnists’ articles.
It was a coincidence that I put “
Airy Monday” as my entry title yesterday - because I felt somewhat calm, only to be equally terrified and humored when I read a fiery post by a certain blogger. It took me by surprise that this blogger can actually produced such a… flaming posting.
On the other hand, if I own an online shop, I would not even thought of posting “
kampung-hater…yes, me” just to rub any potential customers in the wrong way, deliberately. I mean, one cannot be calling people “hi sayang-sayangku” (which might or might not includes the kampung citizen), but then admitting “
i hate kampung people because they’re idiots.” Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! Now, please tell me that such statement will draw buyers from cities and kampungs alike. If yes, wow! I want to use that publicity stunt too although I have not think of what I want to sell yet.
To humor myself, I asked the shop owner “(Kampung Lover:)
Dear Kampung Hater, are these soaps handmade by the village people or the city dwellers?”
Hello to the city people!
Hello to the kampung people!
Hello to lovers & haters everywhere!
Special hello to
another kampung girl.
