A WEDDING, TWO FUNERALS, AN ENGAGEMENT AND AN ANNIVERSARY

I'm still digging, deep down to the roots of my cerebrum, for those elusive words. They're there, in the corners and crevices of the blackness of my mind, concealed by the gamut of both awaited and unforeseen happenings and feelings brought by the uncertainty of December.

Probably some words are just meant not to be spoken. In the meantime, let the photographs do the talking.

Event: My cousin's wedding
Date: 12-13 Dec 2008
Location: Bride's family abode, Kuala Terengganu

Event: My best friend's engagement
Date: 20th Dec 2008
Location: Anak dara's family abode, Butterworth







Event: Martian's arwah cousin's wake
Date: 22nd Dec 2008
Location: Penanti


Event: Martian's uncle being laid to rest
Date: 23th Dec 2008
Location: Balik Pulau

And then there's our 4th anniversary, which went uncelebrated since Nunu and I were in KT and Martian went to KL for his high school reunion, but it didn't go by unnoticed. I found this poem that I wrote in an old notebook which I kept as a hopelessly dreamy teenager, and I think it's ok to share it here. A tad cheesy, but hey, they're not my words.


HEARTBEAT by Danielle Steel

thumping, pitter pat
wondering where it's at
heartfelt, heartsweet
sweet dreams, heartbeat
precious music in my ears
hand to hold, to still my fears
loving footsteps, in the night
treasured hopes, forever bright
brightest love, gift from on high
gentlest, sweetest lullaby
miracle of tiny feet
born of on single, precious
singing sweetest little song
my heart to yours will e'er belong
this final bond, this tie so sure
from our love, so strong and pure
now whisper softly, while babe sleeps
our love will always, ever keep
and as the magic stardust soar
my heart is ever, always yours
