Letter to Erin 20150505

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

Isn't Floofy a cute kitty?  She knew that the photo was for a supermodel to look at, so she started posing.  Don't let that svelte appearance fool you: Floofy is a fat cat.  But I've never seen a cat suck her gut in to look thinner for a photo before.

And how are you feeling today, my dearest Erin?  Are you puzzling over house plans?  If you've seen my grandfather's old house, you may be interested at how one side of the house is quite well built, while the south side of the house is ramshackle.  The well built section, made of brick and wood, is the older part of the house.  The other part, made of planks, zinc, and some asbestos, was built after my teenage years.  Who knows what my grandfather was thinking about then.  It may have been my fault: I was a rotten kid.  From my current perspective, the house is crawling with jinns.  So when you move into your house inshaAllah, I must teach you some verses of the Qur'an so the jinns don't give you a hard time.  As for me, ghosts follow me all the time, but I love the Qur'an and I study it everyday.

My sink is clogged up right now, so I poured some clog remover down there, and it seems to be working, but I need to leave it alone for a while.  So for dinner, I went to the night market and bought some fried chicken, fried noodles and soya milk.  Would you like to share my dinner with me?  Erin I love you, and I need you.

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

Oh hi, Erin!  Sweetie!  How are you feeling today, my love?  I pray that you are feeling healthy and happy.  It's just another mundane day for me here.  I had to get a cell phone.  Yeah, I hate cell phones, and if I had a choice I wouldn't have one.  But my Mom is entering surgery, so I had to get one.  It's not one of those expensive toys, in fact it's rather cheap.  But it does run Android, and with a big enough SD card, it can be quite enjoyable.  It took me a while to get the right wallpaper, because you're so pretty!  Erin I love you, and I need you.

Little ---- is eating her cat food again.  All this lack of appetite crises!  President Bobby seems to be OK, even though he won't eat in front of me.  He has tons of energy, and is as macho as can be, so I can't say that he's sick.  I'm starting to think that his main rival is Bat Cat I, who happens to be completely independent, so I guess Bobby is attempting to match him.  This cell phone does have a camera.  It's only 2 megapixels, but I'm going to post pictures of my kitty family.  Here's a picture of Mama Cat!  Her name is Floofy al-Ramadan, aka Floofy Darling, aka Floofy al-Woofy, aka Woofy al-Floofy, aka al-Floofy Woofy.  Oh no!  No photos of me yet!  I'm not pretty like you.  It's going to take me a while.

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

Hello, my beloved Erin.  How are you feeling today?  I pray you are feeling great, and healthy.  I have had a very busy day today.  I woke up at 3:30 am, did some extra worship, then worked on the Internet until dawn prayer.  I went back to sleep for an hour, then took care of the cats and the plants.  Then I did some shopping and came back to prepare some noodles.  I had time for a short nap before voice training, then in the evening I went back to stuffing peat pots with dirt for my baby mangoes.  I took out for dinner, now I'm writing this love letter.  Erin I love you, and I need you.

Now it seems like Bob Cat's turn to not eat.  He just sits there in a regal manner, looking around while the others eat.  Since all the cat food belongs to him, he can just eat whenever he wants because the others always leave some for him.  But I don't see him eat.  I asked him, "Bobby, do you have a fever?"  He shook his head.  I said, "But you're behaving like you have a fever."  So I gave him some fever reducer.  He probably doesn't have a fever, but just in case.  He's such a tough guy.

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

Hello, my beautiful Erin.  Raging emotions?  There was about to be a storm just now.  The sky was almost black, but on the opposite side was pure sunshine.  It's so hot before the storm: when the vapors solidify into the tears of the sky, I can feel my being steamed as I kiss the ground in prayer.  I always ask God for our happiness together, more than five times a day.  And whenever it rains.  The rain didn't materialize today, even though my sweat dripped like rain.  I spent the evening under the mango tree with a coil of mosquito incense burning under my chair, stuffing peat pots with dirt for my baby mangoes.  With Bat Cat sitting pretty and watching.

Floofy Darling is eating her cat food now.  She's so fat, she could use a diet.  But now little ---- has no appetite.  I know she is in heat.  She suffers the most from being in heat, if one could gauge so by her howling.  She's past the howling phase, now she's hiding and moping in an old guitar amp box.  Perhaps Floofy was communicating to me about her daughters, and their behavior being cooped up and in heat.

You my darling, are so famous and beautiful that it is safer for you to be cooped up.  But please don't be regretful, because I love you, and I want to marry you.  I'm watching "Roxanne" right now.  It's a 1987 Cyrano de Bergerac rewrite set in a beautiful small mountain town, with Steve Martin as a fire chief and Daryl Hannah as a beautiful blonde astrophysicist.  Yeah, she's a rocket scientist.  Like you, huh?  Since it's so lonely at the top, you might as well use your mind to explore, right?  I'm going to do some encoding and Sims 3 next.  Erin I love you, and I need you.

Floofy finally showed up after being gone for 2 days.  I had about half an hour left of voice training when she paraded herself in front of my window.  So I shut everything off, and followed her outside.  She seemed like she was hurt, but I couldn't figure out where.  She was growling at me, and still refused to eat.  So I took her to the vet immediately.  The vet checked her up and said there was nothing wrong with her.  I asked him why she hadn't been eating, and disappeared for 2 days.  He said perhaps she's in heat.  Then I told him that she's on contraceptives.  He repeated that there's nothing wrong with her, and gave me some vitamins.  He added that perhaps she's just being coy.

Coy?  Everybody just leave me alone!  You're not being coy with me, are you?  Maybe she's throwing a tantrum because I called her fat.  Anyway, I put her inside the house, and she'll be an indoors cat until further notice.

I want you to be patient with me even though I'm not able to offer you some sort of perfection.  From my point of view, I still don't have money enough to buy you a ring and build your house.  But that doesn't give me any less work to do.  I'm feeling forced into isolation right now.  But regardless of that, I love you, and I need you.

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

Now Floofy has gone AWOL.  I last saw her yesterday at breakfast time.  The night before, she ate a lot of food.  But at breakfast, she just crouched and watched the other cats eat.  I gave her her portion, but she didn't eat it.  She just walked away, and I haven't seen her since.  She didn't look injured or sick or anything like that.  I'm thinking that she doesn't want to be Bob Cat's bitch.  Remember I told you that recently Bob Cat claimed all cat food in the territory as his.  And now he's in heat- if you can call it that.  Virile males don't go in heat, they're supposed to be always horny.  Wah!  I'm an old man!  I need drugs!

Anyway, Bob Cat considers all cats in his area as his bitches.  Remember I told you that Bobby was missing fur between his shoulders, now I realize that some other cat tried to make him a "bitch".  Now he's become big and strong, he doesn't have to tolerate that: he can just smash them.  Hulk Smash!  Bobby Wobby Smash!  He has such a tame disposition with me.  He has never used his claws on me nor bitten me, and he takes his doctoring without resistance.  Even when he yowls like male cats do when they call out for a mate, it's not overbearing but very relaxed.  But he's still big and strong, much bigger and stronger than Floofy, so I guess Floofy doesn't want to deal with him.  If this is true, then if she comes back then she'll come back pregnant because I won't get a chance to take her to the vet for her contraceptive.  But she is his mother, after all.  And I've never seen him harass her.  Why didn't that cat just stay indoors?  Give a cat free will, and she runs away.  Oh, it's my fault?  For giving the cat free will?

For dinner it's McDonald's.  My Mom wanted McDonald's for dinner, and I guess I'm having McDonald's too.  I got 3 double cheeseburgers: one for me, one for you I mean me, and one for me.  Brings back memories of when I was homeless and McDonald's double cheeseburgers were on the dollar menu.  But Allah saved my life.  Now I'm not homeless and McDonald's double cheeseburgers cost RM5 each.  Alhamdulillah.  Tastes the same.

How's your relationship with Victoria's Secret, by the way?  You grew up with those guys, didn't you?  I don't see your giving them your endorsement any more.  You might as well, because I can only endorse my wife in such matters.  Erin I love you, and I need you.

88.  Of the cry, "O my Lord!  Truly these are a people who will not believe!"

89.  But turn away from then and say, "Peace!"  But soon shall they know!
