If you have been waiting for the outcome of my matchmaking scheme between my colleague's daughter and Siamang, sadly to say, zilch! Siamang sent her 2 smses but she didn't reply at all. Her mum thinks that the daughter is shy2 would probably reply lambat sikit but siamang said to me , podah!
Just as well, i couldn't go on hiding the truth from my colleague. She asked me these questions, how well i know the family (very well infact), can he masuk with other people's family (mm..well..yes..he was very pally with my brother, selalu lepak kat Kafe Batu Keras dulu), how was he at uni (let me see..he rode a bike, part time jadi cleaner, main 5-A side etc. etc.) . Basically the questions got more and more in depth..unless i was his ardent admirer or stalker or girlfriend (bingo!) i shouldn't be able to answer them so precisely!
When talking about his family, i terkenang kat nenek (wan) dia. She was this strong, matriach like N9 woman. She had her resrvations about me...that is understatement of the year, she disliked me. Tu belum pernah jumpa lagi tu. I memang hot ngan dia but of course i tak spell it out loud to siamang because he was closed to her..he called her as often as he called his mum.
One year i came back from summer hols and i brought back this kulat or cendawan whatever you call it. Yg dah dikeringkan and selalunya masak gulai lemak with it. Siamang rang his grandma from my place because rumah dia takde phone and he informed his grandma that i was in the kitchen cooking that blessed kulat. You know what that old woman said? Ko jangan makan, nanti mati kena racun (of course in thick N9 dialect). What the feck! What? Dia ingat i kutip benda tu kat dinding belakang rumah i???
At other times she'd be asking siamang where exactly is my hometown?? Ada jalan tar nak masuk ke rumah i ke?? Like pund## je kan. Helo...! It is probably as urban as Paroi Jaya! Siamang gelak je, menghumour org tua tu. Once she said to siamang, ko tak payah la nak kawin ngan budak Peghak tu, budak tu lolah, nanti susah nak bela. When Siamang got married, dia main punya suka because the menantu cucu was from N9, boleh omong2 channel yg sama. Tapi tuhan nak tunjukkan, siamang ex was found to be chronic hep B carrier! Ha! Ambik kau!
When she passed away Siamang smsed to inform me.
I said, sorry.
He said, is that all you have to say?
I said, yes. She was never nice to me. (Dalam hati cakap, eiii! She was and evil fussy pot)
He said, she never knew you!
I said, My point exactly!
So Wan si Siamang, wherever you maybe, rest in peace (and that's the nicest wish i can have for you).
