Did you know, that we have a special connection to the stars up in the sky? A long, long time ago, before you, me, or even the Earth was here, there were giant stars way up in space. Inside those stars, a magical thing happened. They made the same things that are now in your body!

So, the stars made tiny bits called 'nitrogen,' and that's now in your body helping you grow! They made 'calcium,' and now it's in your teeth, making them nice and strong. And iron, which is in your blood and helps you run and play! And, guess what? Even the yummy apples you eat have tiny bits that stars made!

One day, those stars went ‘BOOM’ in a big, bright explosion! And all those little bits floated out and became part of our world. Isn’t that amazing? You have a bit of star inside you, making you extra special!

Salah sendiri

"Abang cakap 'A woman can love one man but marry another'"

"Ha"

"Tapi kan"

"Nak argue jugak lagi"

"Mesti laaa"

"A man is a giver and provider. If he fails to meet a girl's expectations, he may lose her. Girls often seek the best. In the end, the best man wins. Trivia: A woman can love two men at the same time"

"Laki pun ehhh"

"Tapi laki setia"

"Sebelum kawin boleh percaya. Lepas kawin mmm"

"Ada la tu"

"Abang still tak move on?"

"Tak nak cakap hal tu"

"Alaaa kita nak tahu aje"

"Nak tahu apa?"

"Abang sedihkan apa?"

"Sedih la. Salah diri sendiri. Bukan salah orang. Kalau ada orang yang perlu di salahkan, yang bertanggungjawab…bukan sesiapa tapi abang. Dah tutup kes"

"Tapi kan"

"Abang nak tidur. Tadi suruh rehat"

"Jab laaa"

Hidung darah

"Hidung darah astu nak pergi sembahyang"

"Dah berhenti"

"Tengok tu"

"Ra, baju dekat atas abang dah kemas. Ara jangan sepahkan lagi. Abang ada abang boleh kemas. Kalau abang mati, siapa nak kemas untuk Ara?"

"Badan panas sikit cakap pasal mati. Tak suka la"

"Faham tak abang cakap?"

"Tak dengar"

"Abang pergi dulu. Ingat tu jangan sepah"

"Jab tau kita hantar abang"

"Tak payah"

"Kita hantar astu kita tunggu"

"Abang nak lama sikit dekat masjid"

"Abang mmmm jangan cakap pasal mati"

"Masak apa hari ni?"

"Ayam penyet"

"Nanti kita makan sama"

"Nak peluk"

"Abang ada wuduk"

"Mmmm"

"Abang minta maaf untuk segala kekurangan abang"

Syurga duit

"Situ syurga business Malaysia. Tempat tak dapat trace kalau buat business. Segala business ada. Banking, investment, fintech, trust and wealth management, O&G, trading. Banyak syarikat luar"

"Tak pernah tahu"

"Operate dari sana tak ada cukai"

"Abang selalu pergi Kundasang tak?"

"Tak. Pergi masjid dekat KK je"

"Masjid aje?"

"Ye"

"Ye ke?"

"Habis tu nak pergi mana lagi?"

"Eleh"

"Tinggi-tinggi Gunung Kinabalu

Tinggi lagi sayang sama kamu

Biru-biru hujung Kinabalu

Tengok dari jauh hati saya rindu"

"Kenapa suka lagu tu? Nyanyi aje senyum"

"Abang tak suka Sabah. Abang suka Sarawak tapi gunung suka Kinabalu tak suka Niah"

"Apa kaitan, bang?"

"Tak ada kaitan haha"

Berkira dengan anak

"Dapat lagi kes ada anak tapi harta tak nak bagi anak"

"Dia nak bagi siapa?"

"Jual semua. Anak nak harta cari sendiri. Apa punya mak bapak la"

"Rasa rugi ke acam mana?"

"Dulu dia hidup susah kerja teruk. Dia rasa tak adil anak merasa senang sebab usaha dia. Dia siap cakap anak menumpang harta dia. Apa pun dia tak tinggalkan untuk anak"

"Ada eh orang cenggini?"

"Ramai. Abang pernah hidup susah tak nak anak rasa susah macam abang. Cukup abang je rasa. Tak rugi pun tinggal harta untuk anak. Dia boleh teruskan legasi kita. Dia susah kita cuba bantu tapi jangan sampai tak pandai berdiri atas kaki sendiri. Entah mak bapak sekarang. Pelik je otak"

Cari hati

"Ara cari apa sampai sepah bilik atas?"

"Hati abang. Dekat mana eh?"

"Tak ada dekat Ara?"

"Entah macam tak ada"

"Macam mana boleh tak ada?"

"Orang curi kot"

"Siapa curi?"

"Abang rasa?"

"Abang rasa ada dengan Ara"

"Ara rasa tak ada"

"Kenapa tak ada?"

"Abang tak cakap I love you. Do you even love me?"

"Ara tahu apa beza laki dengan perempuan? Perempuan, kalau tak suka, benci, meluat dia masih boleh buatkan air untuk suami. Dia boleh maniskan muka walau hati dah tawar. Itu hebatnya perempuan. Dia boleh pura-pura sayang, pura-pura ambil berat. Laki, kalau tak suka, tak sayang, meluat, benci jangan kata nak senyum, nak pandang pun tak nak. Laki tak pandai fake care, fake love. Dia takkan buat kalau dia tak suka, tak sayang"

"Mmmmm"

"Kalau tak sayang…abang tak kawin dengan Ara. A woman can love a man deeply but still choose to marry someone else. But when a man falls in love, he often closes off to anyone else"

"Do you love me?"

"Yes"

"Then say it"

"Why should I?"

"’Cause I wanna hear you say it"

"Kejab Ara. Abang sakit dada"

Benda boleh gaduh

"Tak kuasa la bertenang"

"Kenapa tu?"

"Benda boleh gaduh, kita gaduh dulu. Kemudian bincang"

"Hmm"

"Asal gaduh aje tak matang acam dia yang tak gaduh matang sangat astu orang cakap tak percaya rumah tangga kerap gaduh tanda bahagia"

"Ara rasa macam mana?"

"Benda boleh gaduh. Penat tau pendam. Gaduh aje la. Lepas gaduh tak payah fikir"

"Tu yang kemudian bincang"

"Tak payah bincang. Dah gaduh"

10 kids

I ran 12KM today (it's my habit to run 8 to 12KM daily) and took a rest at a park. I overheard someone say, 'He has 10 kids, like a football team.' My thoughts flew to you. Yes, I really want 10 kids with you—no kidding. I know you'll give me 10 kids. You wouldn’t say, ‘quality over quantity.’ You’d agree to have as many as I want.

Those years… when we were madly in love…

Unspoken distance

It's been a month without any intimacy with Ara, and she's started asking why. I know we'll have to talk about it soon, but I don’t really know what to say since I’m not even sure what’s going on myself.
