talking about entering a wedding ceremony, with a
BANG!

just the other night,
we had this conversation.



ibu was strongly against the idea of us riding.

she finally decided to leave it to bapak,
who by the way, always supports her decision,
and always has the final say.



bapak: parents usually can see whether the child has the ability to do something.
i dont see why not.

us: (disbelief) (pleased) (suddenly so much love for bapak)

ibu: (horrified) awak kasi anak-anak awak yang perempuan ni naik motor?

bapak: if they ride safely, tau jaga diri sendiri, apasal tak boleh?
after all of you get your license, the 5 of us can go riding.



NEWSFLASH: BAPAK ALLOWED US TO TAKE UP BIKE LESSONS.



and while i was in cloud nine,
ibu began talking and brought me back down to earth.



cik yani was an extreme rider,
who had a motorbike escort of more
than fifty during her wedding.

after she met with an accident,
she never got on a bike, even as a pillion.
and because of the motorbike accident,
she was unable to do a natural childbirth.



jannah met with an accident
while undergoing her bike lessons.
the accident left her leg paralysed.

not only was she unable to move around for a few months,
she also missed a semester in nus.























until i manage to convince and persuade ibu,



the thought of looking half as hot as fox
on the aprilia RS 125 in transformers: revenge of the fallen,
may as well remain a dream.

no matter where i have been
and whatever i loved while being overseas,
i come back knowing that singapore is home,
where my family and friends are.

happy 44th singapore!
