Letter to Erin 20160513


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

Hi Erin!  Hey, don't ignore me!  I said "HI ERIN!"  Wow.  Now that you're a big star, have you become snooty?  I might be someone important, you know.  Are you mad at me about something?  You're always mad at me about something.   Is it because I didn't give you a food assignment?  I tell you what: I'll give you two food tasks.  First, I want you to buy a chocolate bar.  I want you to buy a bar of Cadbury Flake, and eat it.  You might already know what it is, but buy it anyway.  Chill it before eating.  Second, I want you to buy fish and chips.  Here's the twist: buy fish and chips that they wrap with newspaper.  You might need help from your British friends to find this.  Take out only, don't eat there.  I assume you're still in England.

Heh.  The kids in the village are calling me "orang gila" (madman).  And they're right.  I am insane.  I'm crazy madly in love with you.  And I HATE young boys, so they better stay away from me.  I think it's time to play guitar tonight.  I bet you have never had kids call you insane.  You just call yourself crazy, and that doesn't count.  But I love you anyway, even though you're normal.  And I need you.

I stuffed and grilled up that scad I bought the other day.  I lined it with basil, then stuffed it with tofu and tomatoes.  It was rather thick, so it took a while to cook.  Scad and marinara sauce match perfectly, so I put some in there, and basted the fish with it.  Marinara sauce is spaghetti sauce, folks.  Tasted great, and very filling.  Too filling for lunch.  I was stuffed through voice training.  Dinner was hot wings.  I tossed the wings in a mix of my home made hot sauce and my Mom's "sambal belacan".  I'm sure you know what chicken wings look like, so I didn't take a photo of that.

Please allow me to say something to Antonia.

Hi Antonia.  Congratulations on your new charity.  I would donate something, but I don't have anything.  If I did, I would already be married.  How about a one Malaysian ringgit?  I have that.  How about that guy calling you Obi-Wan Kenobi?  What a moron.  I wouldn't want to... with Obi-Wan.
