you, me, us on a thursday

Some people live their whole life and never fall in love. I lived mine and I fell in love.

~ Leelee Sobieski, Here On Earth



Here on Earth was a novel written and later like all interesting books, gets translated into a movie. Here on Earth begins with Kelvin "Kelley" Morse and Jasper Arnold involved in a car race and accidentally damage a restaurant owned by Samantha Cavanaugh (Leelee Sobieski)'s parents. Both are sentenced to perform community service by repairing the damage. Although Kelley comes from a wealthy family and Samantha's parents are working-class, they soon find that they have more in common than they imagined, and they fall in love. Samantha's parents learn later on that Samantha has osteosarcoma and only a few months to live. When Kelley learns the awful truth, he must decide if he should obey his father's wishes and go to college or stay by the side of the first girl he's ever loved.

Its a beautiful day today and my baby woke up early filled with inspiration. She woke me up this morning for a change and her voice was the sweetest music that ever rang on my handphone. My mind was still blurry and my eyes were so reluctant to open today and I blame it on the chilly weather and the sleep filled with dreams of her last night. I pulled off the sheets from my still warm seeking body and rushed to get prepared. It was a slow drive filled with thoughts of her along the Kesas highway and I was really thinking of what she casually asked me on why do we torture ourselves this way. I seriously don't have an answer and I wonder why.

I realised as I clutched my hands tight anticipating to see my lion at 7.45am that my day really began when I saw her at her door looking at me so beautiful. I was a bit frustrated with her automatic gate and a dog named prince for being the only things stopping me from hugging her tight. My first second on a Thursday for me really began when I kissed her good morning and tasted a bit of heaven in my mouth. I knew my day had started the moment I touched her lips and felt complete. Now, writing this is to help me try to figure out when really does my day begin. Like every other day, mine begins with her. I was really thinking, if that was the truth, then was I ever living until the moment I fell in love with her?

Was thinking of Here on Earth this morning when I was playing with these thoughts. Do we really need a huge incident to shake us and make us appreciate what we have? When it comes to loving her, I've made a decision to always savour and treasure everything single thing, from the smallest to the biggest perfection that you keep including in unexpected and expected times in our lives. Today, baby, I just want to say thank you and how much everything you do for me means to me. I know these will not go recorded in history but it will always live in my memory and my smiles. That to me is more important than anything else in the world because you are the most important object, person, thing, creature, treasure, entity, character and lover that I will ever meet my life.

Today, I had banana pancakes designed and made by the softest and most gentle hands that I can't seem to stay away from. It was really good and she told me that it was her first time having a go at it which I find really hard to not smile to. Shes special like that, the way she keeps making me smile at all these small perfections that she does so effortlessly. I don't really have a story to match the warmth that she filled me with today except for the three words that she tells me everyday. She tells me these not just in words but in the things she does, her eyes, the way she touches my life and more. Theres only one way to say these three words and baby, I wish I could say them to you everyday for a lifetime, I love you. Baby, believe me theres nothing more true in our lifetime.

PS. Bie, on a beautiful Thursday like this, you have to go and be perfect and ruin it by stealing all the spotlight. I hate it that you always do this that I can't help loving you forever and ever baby.

Breakfast at Linda's

There is a place You can touch a woman that will drive her crazy...Her heart.

~ Milk Money

And they say that theres a place that can drive a man crazy...His stomach. Not sure how many agree on that point though. One of the most beautiful things that she does to make sure my day is perfect and starts with a smile is the meals she makes sure are perfect. The breakfast that she pours her heart into when she wakes up early is really something which touches my heart everytime.

From the crazy hours that she endures to wake up even when her eyes tells her not to, to brave the kitchen in the wee hours of the morning and all the work while ensuring that shes not late to work, every effort that she puts in, my heart feels it and is humbled. Humbled by how much she would do just to make me smile that little bit and just be able to see by all these things that I am the most important person in her life. She doesn't have to prepare a mountain of a meal or the most expensive of ingredients. Because each ingredient shes chosen indeed shows how much care she has for me. Each perfected meal shows how much she wants our love to be perfect.

They say you can tell a lot from the way a person looks at you. Her eyes is a storyboard beyond comparison. I have often described it as the brightest stars of my skies and even whispered that to her. Her eyes when she brings me my every morning customary breakfast simply says this: "I have done my best. I hope you like this. And I hope you definitely like me". And you know what baby, I love every breakfast, or every brekkie as the Americans call it, and I definitely love you baby. Your smile and you, are the best breakfast any man could ask for, even for this silly man who can't stop grinning when you first appear in the morning.

Now, lets see, if I were to compile my list of my favourite breakfast this would be it:-

1. Evil Janet on a silver platter and accompanying garnishes
2. Owner of a prince with raw sashimi
3. Elf with sambal toppings
4. Continental meal with you on a beach. Think Redang baby.
5. Any meal that your hand touches.

PS. Bie, you're the sweetest meal that melts my heart, the spiciest food that excites my everyday and the best gourmet that perfects my life.
