Letter to Julia 20130926

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

You're probably wondering why the big ships don't stop by the seaport of Kuala Perlis.  You know, I showed you some photos a while ago of the place?  My Dad told me that there's a lot of sediment between Langkawi and Perlis.  Sometimes they trawl that sediment to make way for some of the medium ships, but the really big ships have to go around Langkawi.  Well, if they want to make a major Muslim-friendly seaport between Langkawi and Perlis, I'm sure they'll find a way.  Just don't waste that sediment, because there's a lot of food in there.  No oil tankers, please!

It's been nigh over 4 years since I proposed to you.  Yeah, I'm still too broke to marry you, so I thank you for your love and patience with me.  But I'm sure you have been immersed in the power of the music that Allah has given me mashaAllah, even though the bucks haven't come my way yet, but I'm pretty sure that Allah is sending some over to you.  Sigh.  I can't ignore my obligation to make sure you don't marry into my poverty.  I am sworn to your well-being.  I am very unhappy to be without you, but I assure you of my commitment for marriage.  A pretty blonde is my greatest weakness anyway, and there are none in Perlis.  You would be the only blonde in Perlis when you marry me inshaAllah, unless you invite your friends.  Allah is testing you as well as me, so please be a good girl.  We are as it is, dependent on each other.
