Letter to Julia 20120204

Hi there, my gorgeous rock and roll babe! How would you like to buy a vacation package? To an exotic tropical getaway at the north of Malaysia, where the air is sweet and the rice fields shine with gold and green. As you disembark from your flight, you leave the stinking and sweaty city to ride on an electric train, zipping along smoothly through the hills, valleys, plantations and jungles. This is an experience you will never forget, as you sit in the lounge sipping chrysanthemum tea and watching the countryside blur by. Oh, you are one of those blessed ones who happen to spot a huge, black, monkey-eating eagle! I saw one once. May your monkey get eaten. But you have a purpose, because you heard somewhere on the internet that the ghost of Billie Holiday has appeared somewhere in the wilderness of North Malaysia, where the echo of her voice bounces from hill to hill amidst the chirping of wild songbirds. As you seek a retreat from the rat race, you add the beautiful white sands of the Langkawi islands to your itinerary as a stopover before you make a scenic land journey of adventure through Thailand. How about it, dahlink?

Wait a minute... you will already be here, because we will be married and raising our children! InsyaAllah.

Meanwhile, check out the little guy with the monster guitar!
