“.. I woke up this morning..”
There was no smell of bread in the air..
There was no hustle and bustle of breakfast being prepared..
No smell of Nenek’s early morning tea..
As I walked to the bathroom.. It was all quiet..
No Kit miewing for attention..rubbing against my legs as I walked..
just … silence.. darkness….
They’ve all gone home..
Everything is back the way it has always been..
When I go home tonight…
Kit will not greet me at the door..
Nenek will not be sitting in the living room watching tv..
There will still be no smell of bread in the air..
No laughter of family ..my true family..
Evenings will be silent ..
Just me … in the confines of my bedroom..
solitude.. again…lonely solitude..
Everything is back the way it has always been..
the way it always be…
It seemed that the last month or so was a dream..
a sureal dream…
I never wanted the dream to end..
"..Love on Mediacorp 5 is always perfect.."
But we all know it almost never is now don’t we.. (right about now if you think I watch too much TV , you’re right – Have a drink) . So as we turn over from January and swagger, stroll and trip into February, Mediacorp 5 does the natural thing which is focus on Valentines day. (yes this is going to be a valentine’s day rant 11 days early)
So 5, has this thing going with a weekly love story/movie and a unique photo competition that runs somewhat along the lines of the movie. This week it’s the kiss. The running movie is The Sweetest Thing (one of my faves mainly because of Cameron Diaz and that gut busting “penis stuck on the tongue stud scene” which prolly would be edited out to certain extremes by 5 because we all know they’re all uptight fuddy duddy’s and “The Penis Song”). The focus of the competition is however when Christina (Cameron Diaz) and Peter (ahhh forget the name) kiss at the street corner. So we’re supposed to send in our most memorable/romantic kissing moments to win the competition.
Ok call me a wet blanket, but tell me the most of you agree that the very most romantic and memorable times of any relationships you experience (well except the day you get married of course that one cannot beat lah) Usually come unplanned at the least expected moment. I can tell you right now there are couples all over the fair island right noworchestrating romanatic moments armed with their trusty mobile phones and digital cameras ..I mean that defeats the purpose of romance now doesn’t it.
“Baby kiss me .. and don’t forget to take the photo we can sende to Mediacorp 5 so we can win a prize”
Jeez.. Ok so by now you think Shidy’s gone off the deep end. I don’t know I prolly did a long time ago.But If you talk about the most memroable kiss, I’d say they usually come in mid sentence.LoL. Believe you me it does and i do recall some movie using that phrase. I have one in my mind right now which i guess I’ll always remember, and that picture can never be transfered onto photographic print, much less used for a competition. I will Not STAIN the memory of a kiss, by using it to compete with others. But then again not everyone are hopeless romantics like myself, or maybe i’m a fool. Someone told be you need to be one , to be the other.
Then there’s the whole celebrate Valentines day itself. My community (and by my community i mean the general malay/moslem populace) Always refer to Valentines day as a non muslim ritual which should not be adhered to. Now I have my own stand on Valentine’s day, I mean why need a special day to prove your lovewhen you can do it day in day out. But this is not about me. I figure St Valentines day is more of a symbol that you should beyond any obstacles should stay true to LOVE.. to have FAITH in your LOVE.. Love for your partner .. Love for God… It doesn’t matter if it was christian,moslem,Budhist, or any other religion. the bottom line is Love. And we all could use a bit more love in this present day and age.
With That Being said.. I give you ..
The Penis Song
"… was watching TV.."
