Cinnamon Swirls
Originally uploaded by PatchworkPottery

I'm sitting calmly on the soft matress. My purple kebaya clad on my chubby figure while the veil is hiding half of my chubby cheeks. My small pointed nose is casting a shadow beneath the lavender fabric. The canopy bed is innocent white. The small white piece of linen tuck neatly beneath the bolster.

It is just a matter of time. Soon, the linen will be used for something else. The bolster will not going to be at its place. The embroidered bed covers might change its colour...to red? Perhaps.

The smell of jasmine and white roses is sweet to my nose. Purple orchids scattered on the bed. This is not a Bollywood movie.

There he is, standing near the door. He is smiling while walking towards me. I'm feeling shy and the heat is creeping my cheeks. My heart is beating faster. He silently tuck his fingers beneath my chin. Then he says,

"Assalamualaikum..." with his deep macho voice.

When my lips are cracking, "Waalaikumussalam," I feel the heat of his body pressing against mine. He is sitting on the bed beside me. My heart is beating too fast until I can hear the sound thundering in my ears. His lips are pouting while he brings his face down to mine. He smells too nice. Oh, I'm in love! He smells like...

"Excuse me! I want the cinnamon rolls please. Two!"

Eh, where is he? I looked around. I wore jeans. Not songket. My location? I was in front of Cinnabon,The Mall. Cis! Then I saw a blond white lady in hot pants and pink t-shirt. She was jumping the que. While I was checking out the rolls (and daydreaming), she came from nowhere and pushed me aside.

I looked at the Cinnabon girl. She shrugged and gave me "I'm so sorry. She is a *&^%" kind of look.

I just kept quiet and stepped back to give her some space. My heart was saying, "She is jumping the que, you should at least warn her about that." But I was too tired to argue.

When she got her rolls, she stepped back and fumbled with her purse.

"Pecan Nut satu. Sour Cream satu," I said.

Tttiiiiiiiiiiiigggg!!! I saw coins on the floor and I saw Blondie squating. She dropped her stuff including the rolls.

I picked up the coins silently and passed it to her. Then I paid the Cinnabon girl. While I was waiting for the change, someone poked my shoulder.

"Thank You! I'm in hurry," Blondie said to me. I noticed that the tousled blond hair and she was wearing a slipper.

"It's okay." I smiled back. Then I walked straight to Starbucks.

I have never tasted Green Tea Latte. I didn't even think of making it when I was a barista because the drink was less popular than Cappucino. Therefore, when I went out yesterday, I have decided to order it, considering it was raining heavily in Kuala Lumpur. I just need some hot unpopular drink to accompany my Pecan Nut Cinnabon Rolls.

Sha in KL? Yes. Yesterday, I went to bridal exhibition (Pameran Pengantin 2009) in PWTC. I was checking out the purple cards and purple songket while daydreaming about my wedding night;P

While I was seeping my warm Green Tea Latte in the cold rain, I smelled his breath again. It was a bit sour. Uik?

"I just ate some sushi, Sweet Sha. Do you want me to brush my teeth first?"

Aaaahhh...our honeymoon in Japan. How sweet.

My eyes are too small to resemble Vanidah Imran. His teeth are imperfect compared Azri Iskandar's. We are not the couple in Perempuan Melayu Terakhir:p

If only...

Happy Sunday everyone!

Congratulations to OUM graduates.

I was envying the robe yesterday.
