And she reached East Coast before I even ended my short meeting. From Buona Vista.
Now that's worrying. Somehow can feel how Mum feels now.
Neways, Dad smsed to say that he will touchdown SG on 20th June, 9pm! Dat's very very good news! I just can't wait to meet him again ... missing him so much. I'm gonna make sure I spend the days he'll be here sticking to him like UHU glue. Contemplating taking leave for that ... so I can annoy him while he's here! Hehe ...
Squabbled with Ajid about where to hold our wedding. But no void decks, that we both agree upon.
Then showed him a video of Kak Atun's wedding to emphasize my dream wedding since I was still a little girl. No words could describe it well without actually seeing it. I don't need a white dress, tuxedo smarts affair, I want one full of traditions and culture, with performances of the cultural kind to entertain my guests. Ajid's mouth was gaping when we were watching the video. I bet he hasn't seen any wedding like that. And thus, it was followed by visual introductions of 'this is my uncle who blah ..blah..', and 'this is my auntie who.. blah..blah..'
But he was awed most by seeing Dad silat. And there I was, watching handsome dad with his white baju melayu, red songkok and his well-polished wooden pedang. Those were the days, when that world wasn't yet smeared with politics of the hateful kind which makes me totally give it up. Words from Dad always comes back, 'Kita berseni bukan untuk nama, tapi hanya memperjuangkannya tanpa menilai dengan wang ringgit. Tak kita, tak siapa.'
It's still strong in me and I make sure I hold on to it, till now.
Meanwhile, counting down till the 20th!
And she waves goodbye...
