SONTOLOJOH! Thinking of my granddad
SONTOLOJOH! Thinking of my granddad now, who used to shout and scream, getting off of his seat in front of the telly. He loved his football and nothing, nothing would keep him from watching the games, even if all the grandchildren wanted to watch something else. We'd have to retire to the dining room and make do with the old black and white telly to watch Star Trek or whatever it was we wanted to see. 'Sontolojoh' was my granddad's favourite cuss word, I'm not sure it even meant anything, some kind of made up Indonesian word (perhaps someone out there recognises it? I miss my grandparents. All of them. Here's to Opa Dam, Oma Lien, Opa Boer and Oma Boer.
