A Rerun: Indak Lakek Yo Lai

Posted in Write On on April 28, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Indak Lakek Yo Lai Enida baungkai kasiah bapantuan sa’donyo…

Lician ghuan maningkek aghi,
lician punai badarai mudah;
Cincian tuan lakek di jaghi,
cincian denai talarai sudah.

What Have We?

Posted in Poetry on April 25, 2011| 1 Comment »

.

We don’t have tomorrow.
We can’t keep yesterday.
So I will just love you today.
One day at a time.
Just one.

Pricetaglessly.

Like Her Like Her Letter

Posted in Write On on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

In my praying hours, all I chant for is kindness. May I love, whatever love is, the love that has no pride. May I count my blessings, and not minutes of attention I shall be paid. May my last word be that voiceless goodbye but with love written in the end. Just before the comma. Like a letter.

.

And I will seal it with a date and a signature.

.

I am home.

In rememberance of my Mom and the last letter she wrote.

A Rerun: Tales From The Dark Side

Posted in Write On on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Tales From The Dark Side I let out a sigh saying, “Awwwhhh it’s getting dark now,” to Edrick who came to me at my corner to give Mommy an afternoon hug.

“Why is it getting dark, Mom?”

“Because it’s four o’clock and it’s winter.”

“Then we need to pick up the sun and put it back up over there, Mom!” Edrick pointed at the space between the two blocks of townhouses seen from our dining room window. I could not hold back a chuckle.

“I am serious, Mom!” I chuckle … Read More

A Rerun: Unbecoming Enida

Posted in Write On on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Unbecoming Enida If I could find a picture to manifest the way I feel right now, I would. It would be easier. But I don’t feel like looking for a picture now. No. Not this morning. If I could say it in words, I would type a thousand words more, I assure you I would do that too. But isn’t that what I have been doing?

It doesn’t get any easier if you choose to read my words with your thoughts, giving them your meanings. Dare you call me a liar when all I write is … Read More

A Rerun: Hot Tall Vanilla Latte, Please!

Posted in Write On on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Hot Tall Vanilla Latte, Please! If I  were to flirt with  the idea of flirting with him, I would first thank MokcikNab for the pantuns and the beautiful translation. Well, not that he cant read bahasa. He is probably the only man with steel eyes in the whole wide world that can say, “Maaf, bahasa saya tak berapa bagus,” in perfect bahasa. And it was both his eyes and his tak-berapa-bagus bahasa that actually changed my tea heart to coffee!   But I am not going to. Flirt with t … Read More

Relung Hatimu

Posted in Humor, Write On on April 3, 2011| 1 Comment »

Beb,
I dah lama nak tanya you ni sebenarnya. Tapi I malu. Dalam pandai kononnya bercakap sana bercakap sini, I ni sebenarnya reti malu. Tapi dalam malu I nak tanya jugak.

.

Tapi sebab malu, kita cakap berkias lah ye. Ni, I nak tanya you, kalau lah dalam hati you tu ada dua ribu lima ratus tujuh puluh satu relung sawah padi kan beb… you rasa-rasa you ada tak serelung untuk I?

.

Okay la, okay la, kalau tak boleh serelung, cincai la bagi I setengah relung ke, suku relung ke dah la. I tak tamak and I tak nak menaruh harapan seribu relung setinggi gunung. So, ada tak suku relung untuk I ni?

.

.

Hahhh? You tanya I suku relung nak buat apa? Aiii, relung padi untuk I bertanam  padi lah beb. Takkan tanam tebu pulak. Kalau nak tanam tebu, nun di pinggir bibir nun. Tu pun you nak tanya dengan penuh syak wasangka ke?

.

Come on lah beb, you ada lebih daripada dua ribu setengah relung. And I mintak setengah relung. Bukan seribu setengah. Bukan setengah ribu. Opocots! Tadi I kata I nak berapa relung? Suku je kan? Haa suku relung tu I nak tolong tanamkan padi baik untuk you. Itu je.

.

Tak ada niat tersirat dalam hati I ni. Percayalah beb. I cuma nak diberi peluang untuk membuktikan pada you, suku relung padi baka baik I tu nanti akan mendatangkan manfaat kepada tidak lain dan tidak bukan, you jugak. You, you dan you!

.

I tau suku relung tu sangatlah cenonet. Kalau you guna Google Map ke, Latitude ke, Bing ke, tengok in the hybrid mode… suku relung yang I mintak tu ibaratnya satu noktah sahaja pada laptop screen you yang besar tu tau.

.

You still tak paham macam mana suku relung boleh memanfaatkan you? Laaa iye lah, I nak tanam padi. Kan ke jauh lebih baik daripada you yang ada dua ribu tujuh ratus lima puluh dan tiga suku relung semuanya, tapi bertanam lalang?

Diagnostically Speaking

Posted in Inside Enida, Write On on March 30, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Dear family, friends, foes and foie gras…
As many are aware, I have not been well. Yes, I have not been well. No, I haven’t. Though I did not feel that I was expected to explain anything here or update my Facebook status every hour or every time I had a little throat-itch attack, there is one thing I have decided to share with you.

.

I have been diagnosed. Yes, finally. I have been diagnosed with AIS, or better known as Acute Involuntary Speechlessness. I am undergoing an intense treatment trying to overcome all symptoms and contraindications. All I am asking is for you to bear with me without any attemp to bare anything. Please?
