In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, my dearest Erin! How are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. It's just another average day for me. The rain finally ceased, so after the dawn prayer I went to the market. Ah! Snapper! And within my budget, too. I scored a 2 kilo fish. The tuna today was huge, and cheaper, but I wanted snapper. I also bought some won ton skins, tofu, and garlic. One thing about fish is that it has to be processed. I had trouble doing that indoors because it's a big fish, and messy, and I have cats in heat inside the house. So I scaled and gutted the fish in the motorcycle cage, isolated from menacing beasts. I filleted the snapper inside the house, after locking up the kittens in a bedroom. Not Floofy, though. She's very controlled and well behaved. Except when she sees a lizard on the screen door. And she's very sensitive about her blubber. But fat cats are so cute! Anyway, I had almost a kilo of sashimi for lunch. All arranged nicely on a square plate and marinated with squid sauce. One thing about fresh sashimi is that it's pure food: no poop!
After voice training, I gave my Dad a leg massage then cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah. I cleared out the back yard, the part unseen from the road. And scored more young coconuts for my Mom. Dinner was an experiment: sausage and tofu burritos in marinara sauce. It worked! Sausage is a perfect match with tofu, especially with marinara sauce! It was awesome alhamdulillah! Sorry, I ate yours! I thought to myself, "Well, sausage goes well with beans, so why not tofu?" I make one for you, inshaAllah. I love you, and I need you. Oh my God, I need a nap.

Hello, my darling. It's nice not to be alone, isn't it? Well yeah, we're not married yet. But you know, or you feel, for sure that I love you and am with you. And I need you. What you feel is faith, so please be sure to maintain your prayers. In the meantime, have fun with your career, and stash a whole lot of money for yourself while you can, OK?
It's been raining all day again, and the weather is wonderful. Well, I like it. Most women I know don't like cold weather, but I heat up really easily, so I prefer cold weather. I slept in again, oh how lazy. Then I'm kind of hooked on "Lair Defense" right now, so I've been playing that. Oh, don't worry about your house plan. I've already taken all the screenshots. All I need is to label everything, then it will be ready in time for presentation to you inshaAllah. For you to reject, nonetheless. But it is your house, my darling. But since you have your own house plan, please try to get it as early as possible to me, so I can be slow and meticulous OK?

Hi Sweetie! How are you feeling? It's been raining all day here today, ever since the dawn prayer. I love the rain. It cools everything down. Ya Allah, thank you for the rain. Of course, I don't want to get flooded. But it hasn't flooded around here in 5 years, I think. Since the local government upgraded the drainage ditches. I didn't do much cooking today. My Mom gave me some rice from a local merchant, but I was still hungry. So I cooked up a late dinner. Sausage and egg stuffed pizza. I just discovered a healthy and natural way to get rid of gas: coriander seed! I wonder if it works on gastritis and diarrhea too. That's one of the advantages of knowing how to cook and feeding myself: I rarely get stomach ailments even though I have a very sensitive stomach. Alhamdulillah. Are you having time to practice cooking? Remember to use a medium flame at the most until have you have total confidence! I curious to try your cuisine. I love you, and I need you.
Oh, it's movie night! Remember I told you about P.Ramlee, one of Malaysia's most respected artistes. Last night I watched this movie, and I think it's such a masterpiece. It's so bizarre, and in a serious way. P.Ramlee is usually known for his comedy. It's a great representation of how Asians regard the supernatural. Sorry, no subtitles. Oh, it's been such a lazy day! The rain made it nice and cool, and I've been lazing around all day. What a great day. Alhamdulillah. Can't do much of anything in the rain, so I just lay around on the floor all day. You wanna be a lazy girl with me? Maybe I'll paint your face and dress you up nice and pretty. Or I'll just play a video game. Usually, the day is but striving towards you. So let's strive toward each other. InshaAllah, God will bring us together.

I would like to remind you not to rely on anyone here regarding the matters of our marriage, especially the legal paperwork. I don't trust anyone here to do that, so I will have to do it myself. If you want to talk to the Malaysian Embassy over there regarding whatever then that's fine, just don't rely on anyone here. When the time comes inshaAllah and we are talking to each other regularly on the phone, I will tell you what I need you to do, and we can have a safe and happy wedding inshaAllah. Most of all, be patient and pray. For if Allah wills reward or punishment for someone, then no one can stop it. The same if God guides someone, then no one can lead him/her astray. It doesn't matter who the detractors are, or how smart or qualified they think they are.
It's just another average day for me. Lunch was beef and potatoes, and dinner is beef and rice. I spent the evening doing some burning. I pray you are taking good care of yourself, and getting plenty of rest. I love you, and I need you.

I'm sure you are hooked on white sandy beaches by now. I mentioned before that if you love tropical beaches, then Langkawi is very close by. Just a couple hours by boat and we're there. Quicker by hydrofoil. Langkawi caters to many westerners, so the sight of you won't bug the eyes out too much of the locals, but everyone will know who you are because of your marriage. Langkawi is a tourist trap, so everything is expensive. Bring your own drinking water. I haven't been there in decades, but from what I hear they've managed to keep it very clean. Thailand also has great beaches, but it's a longer journey and I don't speak Siamese. You'll be recognized there too, because many Siamese hang out here. Phuket is the place to be, that's where they filmed that James Bond movie.
Everything changes after marriage. You can't expect to keep some of the same habits you did before you got married. This means that if you want to swim at the beach, you're going to have to wear a scuba outfit instead of a swimsuit. There is no more incognito for you, Erin. And even if people did not know who you are, the locals here can get very jealous of your beauty. Once a white woman in a bikini got murdered in Thailand, and the cops said it was because she was beautiful. If she had been fat and ugly, no one would have looked twice. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the waves spank your butt and make the flesh ripple (in fact I may just loop that for my own pleasure), but there will be no more showing off, despite the fact that I would love to show you off. You're just too beautiful. And so is your butt. I love you. I love your butt. And I need you. If you want, we can set up a wave generator in your house that's hooked up to a spanking machine. Is 50 hertz OK?
But seriously, when I look at these photos I get concerned about the curvature of your spine. There's no need to exaggerate your posture to emphasize your butt. Your butt is so beautiful, it speaks for itself. Don't you get lower back pains? You're still young. When we are married inshaAllah, I will lay you down on a flat surface so I can massage your back. No, no padding. No mattress. A simple mat on a hard concrete floor. Well, enough talk about this. Please excuse me, I have to go make a batch of dough.

Well, you have to be somewhat of an actor in order to sing well. But I don't know if what I do is acting. The need for emotional connection is too important, plus there's too much reality involved to make it fiction. MashaAllah. Art is life, and life is art. Which is yet another reason why I try to write music slowly. Besides my being a lazy slob.
I'm sorry but I don't feel very talkative today. The air conditioner crisis gave me the sniffles, compounded by rain last night, so I had to drain my sinus cavity yet again. ** sniffle** Since my singing improved, I became more sensitive to climate change. If you're planning to manipulate me into doing more travel than I want to, it might backfire on you. You might make me too sick to work, or dead. No, I'm not going to allow you all to travel alone. This is because I love you, and I need you.

Football season already? I'm sorry I'm not a sports fan. I've never chased after athletes, and athletes don't chase after me. That makes you the sports fan of the family, plus you used to be an athlete. That's why all the sports businesses chase after you, because you are the only link into the music that they have. Make sure you charge them an arm and a leg, OK? No freebies!
The remote control of my AC died gradually. Now my AC is on all the time, and I have to rely on the on board computer chip to regulate the temperature in my bedroom because I don't dare shut it off, because I may not be able to turn it back on again. I hate hot weather. I wouldn't mind living in Alaska, like in "Northern Exposure". But I love the kampung, and my AC still works. Alhamdulillah.
Are you aware that most people have to put up a facade in order to function in society? I'm sure you know that. Many actors and politicians function that way. Always putting up an act. But who are we to condemn them? Allah knows who is pure at heart, not us. See the woman with a million faces, which one is the pure heart? Sincerity may be first and second nature for you and me, but not for most others. We do have that in common, don't we? I love you, and I need you. As an actress, you may have to act by channeling as opposed to analysis.
