Da Says

Three weddings and a Ho Ho Ho. (Last Tribute to jA).

I love Christmas. Not really sure why, but I like looking at the elaborate decorations and listen to the festive songs. Christmas songs are fun. I wish I can listen to Christmas songs all year long on the radio. I'm too lazy to download them myself and put them on my playlist. I'd love to have them burned on a CD for me. Thank you!

And Ja, she is now officially married, to Jumy! Congratulations! 

Ja, I know I was supposed to read the speech on our side's reception, but the truth was, I didn't have the guts. I'm sure I'd break down and cry, I'm sure you would too. Since with a simple post on my blog about us pun, you'd call me crying already. I wrote it on the night before the reception. 

I'm kinda glad that Taymen made me say something at the the wedding reception on Jumy's side. I know half of the short speech by heart anyways. The things that I so wanted to tell you. But then, I wished i could have read everything, and also wished that I could have seen your face while giving the speech, I didn't. Someone was too tall!

This is everything.

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera kepada semua hadirin, friends and family. Thank you for being here with us tonight. 

This will be a really short speech from me, a tribute to Ja. 

Me and Ja, we were very very close. We used to do a lot of things together, silly, fun stupid things. I guess the usual things that sisters do. One look from each other and we can burst out laughing like crazy.

Owh, people always say that we sound the same on the phone so we tend to trick our friends by pretending to be each other. It was like a test, whether or not the person knew us well enough. Needless to say, Jumy passed the test.

Congratulations to Ja and Jumy, for making it this far. I trust that you guys will cherish every moment that you will spend together. 

Ja, we always talk about how we cannot imagine living our lives apart. But do you remember when we first moved to Bukit Jelutong, we couldn't imagine sleeping in separate rooms and we talked about making a hole in the wall so that our rooms will be connected. Back in Bukit Damansara we have always shared a room with our beds only an inch apart and we say our goodnights after switching off the lights, but then we learned now to say our goodnights at our doors. That was not so hard wasn't it?

I'm going to recite a poem for you tonight. It is from a movie, "In Her Shoes" that you asked me to watch, because you cried after watching it. The movie was about two sisters, and this poem was recited at one of the sister's wedding day.


I carry your heart with me
by E.E. Cummings

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
My heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
By only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear
No fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
No world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
Higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart).

I love you Ja. 

And Jumy, welcome to the family.

teary friday

What would it be like to wake up in the morning and realizing that you are not there near me? What would it be like to go back home and there's no you on the couch watching boring TV shows, hogging the remote, flipping channel to channel excessively? What would it be like to not have you knock on my door every morning?

Whose clothes would you wear if you did not have time to wash yours? Who would you press to make you laugh the moments that you need a quick fix? Who would you eye if there's something funny that you just can't say out loud? 

My dear, my love, my heart.
You know we will never be apart.

Love you ja!
