Si Pendek - bukan soal tidak laku..

I forgot all about wanting to write something on my good friend,Si Pendek. Both si pendek & si kurus,when they are in town...sorry..I mean, in the city, they would make it a point to call me up for breakfast. Quite often,when they have the extra money after paying the 'utang',they would buy me my favourite sherry,...a bottle ofHarvey's Bristol Cream Sherry brought all the way from Labuan. I'll write about the sherry in another posting.
Si pendek got married in his early 40s ( yes,life begins at 40 for some) and hence,Kath & I used to sing that Blues Gang's song 'RELAKS' to him...but we changed the lyrics to: Bertahun-tahun membujang,bukan soal tidak laku, itulah RELAKS nama nya..RELAKS..RELAKS..(Ages & ages of being single,it's not a case of nobody wants,but it's a matter of wanting to relax) In the case of Si Pendek,it's more like 'setengah abad membujang' (half a century being a bachelor) because he's fussy?no,he's just being careful..one wife is enough,cannot afford to have 4 wives,he said. I remember asking him whether he would marry 4 wives and he said,"macam mana mahu kahwim ampat,cari satu bini pun setengah mati,begitu lama dan susah." I tried a few times match-making si pendek with some of the girls I used to work with but to no avail. He finally got a wife, a pretty nurse from Kedah when he went to watch the F1 Grand Prix at Sepang. See,when cupid strikes...even at the race tracks,vrooooooooooomm here..zzoooooooomm there, LOVE can come easy. Sorry Michael
Schumacher(not sure of the spelling),not all who went to F1 Grand Prix watched your racing skills...ada pergi sana to 'ngerek'. (dating) ha..ha..I attended the wedding in KK & they are now blessed with a son.

Ha..ha..the opposite of "Biar Mati di tangan sulu" is...

..... BIAR MATI SAMA-SAMA.
(RATHER/LET'S DIE TOGETHER) Every lunch time,to accompany us or to entertain us while we eat our meals,we always switch on the radio to listen to Radio Iban MiriFM. The programme starts from 12 noon til 3pm. Today was no exception,as we listened to Lucas Johnny @Luke & Kaban @ Simon or Imun. Remember I mentioned about the song,"Biar Mati Di Tangan Sulu."? This afternoon, a lady listener called in to the programme requesting for this particular song. "Bisi lagu 'Biar Mati Di Tangan Sulu."?( Do you have the song"Let me die in darling's arms/hands."?,asked the lady listener. "Eh,enda tau mati di tangan sulu,biar mati sama-sama baru tau.",said one of the DJs. (the conversation was treading along these lines.) HA>>HA>>HA>> I thought that was REALLY funny. (Eh, Don't say, rather die in darling's arms/hands.., BUT say, let's die together instead,said the DJ)
Don't you think it's funny? How many people out there would do that? Honestly! As my friend Jackie said,'Nothing lasts forever..not even love."
