We celebrated romy's birthday today. Jo and husband Colin with Yasmin and sophia, also calin and Michaela came around. it was fun.

 

I Woke up at 5.00am yesterday to get to the airport in time for the boarding. Oops! fire alarm, and we had to be delayed for 2 hrs. we were luckier than the Heathrow guys that had to go home cause of Fog. The airport authority is more scared of nature (fog) than man made terror (terrorist). The rest of the journey was smooth and Yanu was a very good boy. Yanu was so noisy at night that the grandparent rushed him to the doctors early this morning. They were right, he has bronchiatis and my poor boy is now on antibiotic. we are also advised to stay in door except when absolutely necessary. we went for the pre booked photos shoots but Yanu made sure we only took 2 shots. I should say 2 lovely shots. I called London to speak to Calin, I forgot to switch off the daily alarm, but was lucky to have left the key with Calin. We,ve seen two movies, the vampire cartoon changed to action ' Ultraviolet' with the beautiful Milla Jovovich and one stupid English movie that tricked me with fancy case and cameo val kilmar 'played'. Guess I was played.

I should update you with the past occurrence, Romy would be starting a new job on the 3rd, the same day I commence my duties at Forest Boys Horsham. I resigned at Muntham House to take up this position. I don't know what the new year holds but I know it would be different to 2006 at least regarding where I go to work. I think 2006 is the best year for me so far, I hope 2007 would better.

I came across this letter I wrote to Romy on the12th of June 2004, I was taking a bus ride to Uxbridge to collect my parcels from Taiwan and I used the time to write to her. Romy was in Germany.

 

7.40am Vauxhall station, London.

I really prefer typing, I can’t even read my own handwriting, I hope you can figure the handwriting out. I always want to relay my feelings to you. Last night was something else; I’ve never done such a thing before except for God. In the Muslim way of getting spiritual with God, you chant his name. Right now what I feel is you, I want to get close to you, I want to be in spirit with you. Last night, I was chanting your name till I slept. I don’t always remember my dreams but I know somewhere somehow you were in my dream.

 

8.50am Victoria station London

I’ve called you many names, my love, my life, my dream, my sweetheart, my babe, my wife. Chanting your name to sleep was calling you my god. You are worthy of my worship honey, your total submission to our relationship. I don’t have to count the stars, or listen to music to fall asleep. I‘ll just chant your lovely name. Romy! Romy!! Romy!!!

 

Marble Arch, London

I thought about the night we met, we were at the corners of the floor, both with partners. The moment we sighted each other we were so attracted that we left our partners, got together and never been apart since then. This fire I will not let it die; now that I know how to keep it burning. My Romy, my dear Romy, my darling Romy

 

The rest of the mail showed my weakness for Romy; I am embarrassed to put it in the space. It shows that my love for Romy is not new; I have loved her for ever. Oh! Romy joined me in London the following month.

My birthday wasn't all that great. I really should keep my mouth shut sometimes. My friend was upset 2 days ago when we were driving home from work, he said he didn't like the way a member of staff handled a situation. I simply said the poor guy lost it. But yesterday on our way home (oh, we share cars) he said he's been asked to write a report about it. I was surprised and asked him who he told apart from me. He went on to talk about how the man knelt on the kid and how the kid lost control for about 4 hours after that and the kid even lost control at the resident that he was eventually sent home(exclusion). I said he should be careful what to write, the teacher he was talking about has 15 years teaching experience at that school alone and I dont think he remains there by abusing the kids. I also said I very much doubt if he knelt on him as its practically almost impossible. The boy is very slippery, very small, very weak and very young. putting so much weight on his tighs as he claimed must leave some marks and possibly bruises. He was angry and said he was there and he saw it, to which I asked what did you do? did you tell him to hand the boy to you and go away as he was making the situation worse or you waited to see how far he could go then report about it. I said he was also liable as he was there, in fact he said it was his case and the teacher was just passing by and decided to help. Now this guy tried to help you when he saw u needed it, why didn't you take over when you saw he was going overboard. My friend left my car in anger and I felt bad about it . why can't I keep my opinion to myself.

I woke up to my birthday presents from Romy and Yanu (Romy did for both of them as Yanu is only 6 months old). I love the painting, the DAB radio and the cards. I also had special birthday cake for breakfast. I know about the so called surprise get together for sunday (one of my friends was asking about the time not knowing I wasn't aware of it) I'm still going to act surprised.

Didnt get birthday mail from any friend, I had to send them e-mails telling them its my birthday and happy birthday to me.

Its been a good year and I am very happy. It was the American thanks giving last week and I already thanked my star for my life, my mistakes, my passes and failures, my children, my love, my family and all the things that makes me a special me.
