Holla holla holla!!! :-)
I was listening to Aza yesterday and she was talking of your first boyfriend/girlfriend and the things we did back in the day... It reminded me of this article I wrote a while back and never posted it... so here goes...
I just listened to a song called S'thandwa by My Man. Basically he is shelling this girl and he just takes you through the way he shela'd her and what he did to charma her - tru m'rapper kassie style. heheheh.
Some of the lines include:
""..I was just passing by...ngaphandlwa ubuhle bakho??..."
"...Ufuna iCoke, iSprite or iLemon Twist? iCake, okanye iBiscuits.. khaw'munye nayi iSweet..."
"...Ngeke ndiyenze kakhulu, ngeke ndikulimaze..."
This reminded me of back in the days, if you stayed ekasi then you'll relate.
1. Swidart!!
As a young girl you hated going to the shops because you know the guys ekhoneni were gonna bother you..
Ring a bell?? "Haaloo Swidart!, awufuni ngik'khaphe"?? aaahhhh!! I hated it. And when they greeted, your best option was to respond back otherwise, u'll be cursed like there's no tomorrow. It was traumatizing "Hey wena S'bfee, ngiyak'bulisa, uqabanga ukuthi umuhle??"!! Gaad!!!
2. Ngizokulinda...ngizokumela!!
No that's not Mercy Pakela... its the dude at the shop...
When you eventually got to the shop alone and scared. The guy behind the counter has been shelling you since u were in primary school. He always told you that he loves you and he'll wait for you to grow up. I'm talking from experience y'all. There's this guy who used to tell me he'll wait until I grow up. He was working for his parents. Saw him about 4 years ago, he told me how I've grown and he would like to see me. Ofcoz he looks ok, lets just say that if I just met him for the first time today, and he shelad me I wouldnt think he's that old. Now that's unfair... Men dont grow...!!
3. You had a stalker who shellad you for months!!
That was not playing hard to get, u really were not into boys - mostly coz u're scared your mom will kill you. I wont even mention what your father would do to this poor boy - my dad was one those (maybe he still is with my lil'sisters). And the brother will just persist and just didnt get the message. The classic pick up line was "Eish yazi ngiyagula ende huwe k'phela ungang'pholisa!!" hheheheheh I heard that a lot!! The innocence of no cellphones, no email, it was all so natural. hehehe
4. Hlangan'ekhoneni
Honestly I've never stood ekhoneni!!...heee....?? Ok I lie, it happened once. I remember thinking.. hooo what if my my mom's friend saw me?? I remember this guy kissed me right there ekhoneni and I remember walking home thinking "what if mang mang saw me?"... Again I dont know if the corner lahv still happens these days?? I must take a drive around kasi and find out. Our younger sisters and brother are allowed to bring their boyfriends in the house. My dad would throw a tantrum if he saw me with a boy! He didnt even care if the poor guy was asking for directions...heyyyy bona... that's why I stayed away from boys...
5. Visiting hours...
its so hard to find kasi pics..
Ok now you have i "boyfriend" and he invites you to his house. You walk to the tuck shop to buy simba chips (smoked beef or tomato flavour) and coldrink, if you lucky there's biscuits too (Tennis biscuits or Eet sum mor's). Walk back to the house and have your treats. At first there's no pressure u know... u kissed and it ended there..!! Until a couple of visits later...
6. Now for some lahving...
Hands up... if you ever had a brother try to bed you and dropped this line "ngizoy'faka kancane"... did he tell the truth!!! I just heard a "hell Noooo!!". How the hell is he going to faka it kancane - then what?? Come on now!! If you have a lollipop, its not like u'll give it one lick and put it away (no guys...get your mind out of the gutter)!! I never fell for that line... heard it too many times to realise that these "boys" all think the same.
Looking back I realise how things have changed... I dont know if its growing up or its (ayo) technology.
1. Playing hard to get dont work nomore... while you play, he/she will definately find someone else. Then the fun of having someone beg you for you love is dead...
2. As a woman you'll have old men hitting on you. But then again today the age is really nothing but a number.. (wassup Khanyi Mbau.. le mpja ya hao)
3. No guy will shela you for 3 months...hell people dont shela these days, we just... hook up. I dont know if its because all the the cellphone signals but we read each other's signals well these days... its a matter of .. "you like me, I like you...so lets hook up"...
sigh... the good old days...!!
What do you remember about them days?? Ladies...what lines did guys use back then to shela you?? Guys you can share your lines too...or just go back the memory lane and have FUN...
