Datin WanAbe


On Thursday nights at 10:00pm, there's this short Malay comedy on TV3 entitled Datin Wanabe that really caught my attention. It revolves around a Malay family that's trying VERY HARD to climb up the social ladder. But truth be told, it's just the wife, Kat who desperately wants to do so. She's the star. With her perfect hair, half-inch makeup and awning-like eyelashes, she strives to live the SUPER DATIN life. Her husband, Bakar loves her and pretty much lets her do what she wants although he's just a clerk in the civil service. While her children, Faiz and Fazi are often the victims of her machinations. Then there's the maid who doesn't look like the maid. Kat is forever showing off to the neighbours, making calls to her fellow Datins and just generally being annoying and deluded. Here are some of my favourite scenes:

Kat: Saya mahu Faiz jadi HO-MO-SEK-SUAL.

Fazi: HAR! ME-TRO-SEK-SUAL la Mak....

Kat: ME-TRO-SEK-SUAL? Ar u shu-re?


***

Kat: Bila abang angkat golf set masuk tu kan bang, lambat-lambat sikit ya. Biar bagi NEI-BOR-NEI-BORs kita nampak.

Bakar: Ya, sayang.

Kat: Angkat tinggi lagi. Angkat tinggi lagi!


***

Kat: (flagging down a patrol car) Polis! Polis! Tolong! Saya kena culik tadi!

Policeman: Cepat, naik kereta. Saya bawak ke balai!

Kat: Boleh hantar saya ke TV3? Nak naik Buletin Utama...


Do you wanna be a Datin?
