Bangi is a small town.
It’s really small that you’d know exactly what’s your neighbour’s favourite colour if you were to live here.
Sunday breakfast session isn’t really a bad idea even though it has become a family custom which I find quite annoying sometimes [Sigh~ how many Sundays i can get to sleep until noon?]. We’d wake up and get on the car around 9am something to go meet up with other kinfolk for having breakfast somewhere in Semenyih, or occasionally, in Sungai Long or Seremban. [Hell. I guess you don't know where they are]
So, during the session, we’d chat and normally there’d be lots of stories from my aunties’ family side. You know… those uncool, idle but interesting [oh shit. I said it hehe] things like gossips, rantings, rumours, discount and people and etc. And since Bangi is so small, story-telling always starts with me like this:
“Hey is that second son of A-Kow your ex primary school classmate a?”
Me: “Hmm…. ya i think so…”
“You know right, he just ran off Bangi to somewhere because of a big shit of debt he’s owing to the bank! Somemore he….”
Me: “Oh I see… hmm… maybe it’s no like that…”
“Hey how old are you now a?”
Me: “22. Why?”
“Oh I think she’s the same old as you. Probably your ex- kindergarten classmate. Loke MiMi, you know her??”
Me: “I guess so… oh ya. I remember her.”
“Really? Oh My God… That day I saw her going out with a rather old guy. Apparently that old guy is quite rich one but not good-looking at all, and he’s 15 years older than her you know… I wonder why she wanna…bla bla bla”
Me: “Maybe she’s serious…”
It’s like my aunties know everybody in Bangi. In fact, they do. (o_0) Besides, those are not my imaginary dialogs actually. They are real, because they just took place this morning (-_-)
The point is, it’s either Bangi is really that small, or that the rumour about my auntie secretly went to take a degree in Mass Communication and passed with flying colours and then became the chief editor of a paparazzi magazine before she finally settled down with my uncle-in-law and became a full-time auntie, is true.
Speaking of gossips, I realised that I have a tendency of trying to “defend” for my ex- primary school classmates or childhood friends whenever I hear negative stuffs about them. Even though time has passed and they could have not been the same person I used to know, but I always have this kinda “hey they are not that bad ok” mindset. I always think that they are, and will always be the purest creature I’ve ever met.
[It's just like why you'd never have any sexual thought on your primary school teachers. haha]
I don’t know…
Are you like that too?
Hmm… Sometimes I really have to knock myself out of my head.
