Books

Hi sweetheart...
I'm in singapore now, on the way to Durban, South Africa... spend a night here to buy some books in Borders. I bought some books for Adelle and myself. I bought a lot of books by Roald Dahl for Adelle... They are much cheaper here than in Jakarta. I was going to buy the latest Harry Potter's book for Mommy,and she also she missed some of the series so I was planning to complete 'em for her, but they're too thick and too heavy to be carried in my thin suitcase all the way to south africa. I might come back again on the way back from south africa.
I bought some books too, I bought some of Paulo Coelho's books...I don't know somehow i'm into that type of books now. good books to remind ourselves of who we are...I also bought a book called "Dear Charlie", it's a collection of letters of a dad to his passed away daughter. It's really touchy and it really reminds me of what I usually do (as I'm doing now) to talk to you in spirit. I feel the connection and can really emphatize what this guy feel. Suddenly I feel that I'm lookin at myself. The book is actually so simple, as simple as my letters to you..but I guess that's the strength of the book, the simplicity and the genuine love and care that is shown in the book. a lot of people comments about my love letter to you and encourage me to keep doing it. I guess someday my letters to you would be worth publishing... who knows... But I don't care about all of that, what I care is that I can talk to you, feel your presence although not in physical.
I remember you love books so much that we bought you a complete set of books from Tigaraksa... I remember you particularly like the book on the story of Belgeduel (I forgot the complete title though) that you keep insisting me to read it for you every night. You also like the books on animal, and on human anatomy. Once you told nike that the brain (for thinking) is not really in the forehead but in the back of the head...I don't know where did you get that idea. and you were upset when we teased you that the brain is in the knee not in the head. you said that in the knee there is bone not brain...we were kidding Libby...although some of the people really doesn't have brain in their head and it's in their knee..(otak dengkul). They are especially the corruptors...
Aliyya loves books too, Adelle likes book although not as fond of as Aliyya. Aliyya can read so many books in one night . although, mommy or daddy need to read them for her that's why we told her to learn to read so she can read all the books by herself. Gotta go libby... I will try to read a book again for you someday in the heaven if God let me re-join you...

big hugs...
ayah
