Congratulations Iffa...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

on your GRADUATION! Now that you’re an RN, seemed like a long way back then when we just got know each other and you had about 3 more years to go?

It was way before rantauan.com was created when we were online friends. You in Seattle, Washington and me in San Francisco, California. We threatened to meet up several times but asyik tak jadi jer. Belum rezeki agaknya eh?

Did you remember that we used to talk on the phone almost every weekend? And also at times when you were on your way to your aerobics classes? Talked on the car while you could seize some down time?

Did you also remember when I told you that as soon as you’re approaching graduation stage, that you would be pregnant and you might just as well stay home? Hahahaha, masin pulak mulut I. And now you’re due in August with little Sarah in your tummy, InsyaAllah.

Baby Sarah

We had been friends for almost 4 years I think, kejam celik, sungguh cepat masa berjalan. And I have enjoyed every moment talking on the phone and chatting with you.

Well…you deserved it girl…the scroll that you have been working hard on your feet (literally!) for.

So again...

Dearest Ely,
"I'm going to divert a little to write you this rhyme, though I'll add that this is a very nice, personal post."

Anyway, here is my little rhyme for you.

"Wakey-wakey, my pretty Ely,
In Europe dah jadi mid-week already
It is a cold and rainy day,
with pavements an icy slippery-slide,
I hope in the US you're okay,
all sunshiny-summery, and warm inside.
Put on the kettle, let the coffee be hot.
Get out your best china and your friendly teapot
Enjoy your espresso,
and I'll catch up tomorrow,
then Thursday will come and the week-end,
and I hope I can still bual-bual
like an online friend.

*love*
