Hi Julia, my darling love! How is my beautiful beloved feeling today? I just had steak and fries for dinner. Oh, so good! I came across the perfect cut at the day market the other day. Perfectly marbleized! I mean, marbled. It melted in my mouth like a Flake bar, and just as sweet! I'm very fussy about my fries. They have to be crinkle cut and perfectly fried in clean oil, and piping hot. With lots of salt! Want some? I also made some simple fry sauce, out of mayo and ketchup. We don't have Heinz and Best Foods here in Perlis, so it took me a few years to find brands that come close. Especially with mayo. I'm very sensitive to mayo: the wrong mayo can make me sick for days. I've also yet to find buttermilk here in Perlis. So much for ranch dressing!

Oh Julia. Sorry it's been 3 days, but I've been awfully busy. I went to the dentist yesterday. Ouch. Yes, again. So I've been busy, and in pain at the same time. I'm afraid I might have to open up your bottle of snake oil. My bottle has run out, and the stuff does wonders for heat rash. We'll go and find the snake oil guy together sometime in the future, insyaAllah. I do love you so, and I want to marry you, so we can be together all the time, and do stuff together.
Did I tell you that it's election year here in Malaysia? Yes, I know I told you that 2 1/2 years ago. I hate politics, but I will be voting, insyaAllah. I don't blame the government for being late. Both you and I have seen the power of love and music, MASHAALLAH.

YOOOOOOOOOOOLIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Hey there Julia, my dearest. I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. I went to the dentist yesterday, I'm sure you noticed that. Hm, I lost a day somehow. I seem to do that frequently. It's all the same day anyway, and I'm here waiting for you, and the rest of my life and afterlife to start. In love and happiness. InsyaAllah.
I'm watching "This is Spinal Tap" right now. What an old movie! I was living in the Aida House in Salt Lake City when I first saw this movie. What chaotic days! The Aida House was damn popular those days. I don't know how that popularity happened, because I was totally clueless back then. Anyway, Spinal Tap was a parody band, but they had awesome equipment. I envy them that!

Hi Julia! How are you feeling today, my beloved? I am feeling lonely without you, of course. I hurt myself this morning, which amplified my unhappiness. I got up too early, then I started to lift heavy objects, the wrong way. I pulled my left shoulder, which of course made it difficult for me to breathe. I'm not a morning person to begin with- I don't wake up until 9am after going back to sleep after the dawn prayer, and I don't REALLY wake up until after the afternoon prayer. But the pain is going away, alhamdulillah.
I'm sorry, Julia. I'll try to maintain my strength for you, but we all of us humans grow weaker, not stronger, and Allah is the Strongest. Plus, I'm still too poor to marry. My love, I am longing to be happily married to you, for I do love you so.

It is not February 14. Here in Malaysia, it is February 15. So even if this love letter to my precious Julia is posted in the USA on February 14, it is not Valentine's day to me, because I posted this letter on February 15 in Malaysia. I do not celebrate Valentine's day. I have no faith in St. Valentine. I put my trust in Allah, to protect and nurture my love. I love my Julia. I want to marry her. I love her every day. I don't need a specific day each year to love my Julia. I love her all the time.

YOOOOOLIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!
Hello my beloved sweetie Julia! Please forgive me for not blogging for 4 days. It was the Chinese New Year, and the internet cafe was closed, but I posted last Saturday's letter for you to read. I pray you are taking good care of your precious self, and not overworking.
I'm doing my laundry right now. Ach! I hate laundry! But I'm still able to do it. My parents gave me nearly a whole box full of Flake bars. I love Flake! Made in Egypt. Hmm. I want to save a couple of bars for you, but I don't think I can, because I love Flake bars sooooo much. Hey Julia! I love you. I want to marry you.

Hai Julia, my beloved! How are you feeling today? I love you, with all my heart. Everyday. I've loved you for a very long time now, and I want to marry you. InsyaAllah.
It's been really dry the past month. My front lawn and the wildflowers have dried up, but they'll be back with the next rain, insyaAllah. The quinine tree behind my house is dripping water for some reason. It's been hot and dry, the tree is covered with blossoms, and it's dripping water, tiny droplets of water, like falling mist. But it stains the ground like amber, and it doesn't wash off, so it might not be water. My back yard looks like it's drenched, but it's hot and dry.
Hey, it's raining right now!
Subhanallah! Alhamdulillah! Allahuakbar!
(I'll tell you the significance of this odd occurence someday, but not here. Trace back my letters to when I discuss a similar subject, and you will understand.)
