Letters

I just watched Dear John for the second time. But this time, I actually watched it from the beginning. You know, when you only watch the second half of the movie, you don't actually quite get it. 


The movie made me cried and shout at the tv, "No, John. Don't burn those letters. Don't go."


*deep breaths* Okay, time to get professional. 


Dear John inspired me to talk about my parents. When my dad went to serve the country, in Bosnia, my parents used to write letters to each other. It was hard to actually call. We only get calls from him a few times when he was there. Yes, my dad actually write a letter. He wrote about how he missed us all in Malaysia. Ummi read his letters to us, we were still in kindergarten then. It was only me and Along at that time. It was hard for Ummi. So, we tried super hard to help Ummi out around the house. I guess that's how we feel responsible for things. and my adik-adik are not. 


And! we were sooo into Barbie dolls back then. When Abah is somewhere near a town area, He'll buy us dolls and new doll clothes. We were really looking forward to every time we get mails.  He knows that if Along gets one, I would want one too. Even if its only Along's birthday, I get one pressie too. We used to have a swing in our house, and we'd unwrap the parcel from Abah there. and then bring out a big blanket to cover the swing so that it becomes sort of like a house. Main pondok-pondok lah :) 


It would be nice to write and get letters, huh? If only.

Write to me,

Everyday of the week

Monday : Oh, mesti dia penat kat sekolah, baik takyah kacau.

Tuesday : Hari tu dia kata ada ragbi, tiap2 selasa ada ragbi practice kot? Boh ganggu nya eh. Mesti penat.

Wednesday : My sisters are at kokurikulum. dia pun koku jugak lah tu.

Thursday : Malam Jumaat ni..jangan kacau dia nak beribadah tu.

Friday : Last time I call him on a Friday night, he pretended that he isn't doing anything but as I pry more, he was actually doing his presentation for Sejarah. And I feel bad for calling him. Better not call or bother him Fridays. Ever.

Saturday : So many things happen on Saturdays, I mean, its the only time we get our off day, right?

Sunday : Esok nak sekolah. He has to get ready for school the next day. Biar dia tidur awal.

In conclusion, I have no conclusion.

Oh wait. In a nutshell, just wait (like a crazy desperate sucker) for him to text you when he's free. I hate that conclusion. 

Oh well,

Amelia

Quiet time with a book and a cat

I switched off the tv so I could have a quiet time with a book. Since I don't have to worry about Kak alang or Alissa today. They're at school and wont be back until evening. So the house is all mine. Muahaha.


I forgot to mention that the house gets pretty quiet. Well, not too quiet. Fluffy likes to sing. Like, really sing.


So after a few hours burying my nose in the book, I began to lose focus and direct my focus to my cats.
Here's what I get (yeay bullet points):

• Fluffy likes to sing which is translated to "I'm hungry", "Give me attention", "I'm gonna pee here, behind the front door so you pay attention to me" and if he's running down from the stairs 'singing', he's saying : "I saw some creepy weird things upstairs, probably an evil spirit, don't go there."
• Muffin, the mama bear. looks younger than her real age. wait...all cats are?
• Oreo is a white fluff ball...and fat which is so hug-able.
• Jubleg (its javanese or bahasa jawa) means cute and chubby, thats what my Ummi said lah. correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not pure Jawa.
• Shadow : likes to play with her shadow and her own reflection on the floor. Loves to panjat high places. She's the cat spiderman. She hates sunshine. I mean, really. When we took her outside, under the sun, all she does is scratching the front door to get in. But I love her endlessly :)
• Princess : her fur is white but with a dash of gray. She has the most perfect fur ever. So fluffy and so graceful.
• PB & J, which is  Peanut Butter and Jelly. They're both the babies that was born on Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dragon. Ummi thinks they're very energetic compared to other cats in our house because Dragons are fierce. 
• Peanut Butter or PB has brownish, blackish fur. very very manja. My mum mistakes her for being a male. We don't know for sure. At first, her name is Ivy, then its Boboiboy so, we changed it to a unisex name so it wont make her feel like she has a gender problem. Now she's PB.
• Jelly is gray and white. has pink nose. she likes to chase things. and we sometimes call her janggut cause the gray part of fur somehow covered her chin which looks like a beard. But every time Along call her janggut, I'd say Bearded lady. haha, uhm, um. No, not funny. She's too adorable to make fun at :P
• Do you know that cat's pupils will dilate if they take interest in something? Its much cuter when their eyes are that way.
• Pets are trained in their own language or how the owners talk to them. I speak Manglish (Malay-English) to my cats. But if you speak Sarawak malay or even chinese to my cats, I don't think they'd understand.  Like my mum's friend's cat in France, Ummi tried speaking English to them and they didn't respond. Speak French and they're all ears.

If you can't count or confused, I have 8 cats right now. All pure persian. but Ummi said, if Muffin suddenly have another litter of kittens, we probably will be selling them :( Nooooo

Shut up, malware.

Freaking malware tried to stop me from blogging. Hah! take that! dapat pun kat firefox. I suddenly like you again, firefox. I'm sorry for the times I said that you are slow and that I ditched you for google chrome.

Thanks to Nurul, for she was the one suggesting it. Never occurred to me to try it on a different window.

Saved by Nurul and Firefox,

Amelia

I LOVE YOU

Nifsu Syaaban

"Dari Al-Zuhri bahawa Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda maksudnya : "Tidak akan masuk syurga bagi yang memutuskan silaturahim".
(Riwayat Al-Imam Muslim)


Dear Allah, forgive me. Help me set aside my ego to beg for forgiveness for which I have wronged.
