Surreal, the way the world is. Strands of reality intertwined with fantasy, and so easy to confuse which is which.
My actions seem like a parallel of the truth, or is my truth a reflection of my actions. It feels real, but not, but real. The steps I take match my heartbeat, to the beat of the kompang. The walk down with the man who keeps my heart, with the train of people who will acommpany this procession to the stage.
It is a celebration.
It is a wedding.
I am struck at how public it is, at how the people on the streets of Melbourne stop to look and stare at the colourful costumes, the bunga mangga, the rhythm of the kompang. I am amused to realise that both he and I are the centre of attention, amused that I did not quite realise the implications of our actions. Poignant, but emotion is laced with irony and secrets are secrets.
Here is our love on display, for the whole of Melbourne, and ironically among strangers that we have never known and will probably never see again.
Surreal, how the world it. And the strands of fantasy will slowly break and leave behind the truth. But even that is hidden.
congratulations sweetie!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the pictures in mama's inbox. Why are you wering black? For a wedding, that's wayy too morbid.
ReplyDeletesomehow this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside although marriage is something that used to not exist in my vocab.

Ah, so that explains the long absence.
ReplyDeleteMay today till the end of time shall be an eventful journey for the two of you.
Congratulations newlyweds :)

ReplyDeleteSorry for the misunderstanding. We're not really married. It was part of a Malaysian cultural exhibition in Melbourne called Fiesta Malaysia, and we were part of the 'wedding ceremony'.
Coutning the days till you'll be home! :D
ReplyDeleteVery pretty ceremony. Sorry I missed it. Always the 'pengapit', never the 'pengantin'? Hahaha...
ReplyDeletewell "explicit swearing". I actually thought that you had really gotten married.
ReplyDeletei was about to say the same thing as miza but now that she said it, i'll just say that i'm glad to see you happy with amir. :)
ReplyDeleteand i so like your shoes. ;)
Well, it had to be black because the organizers couldn't find proper matching clothes for us, so the only suitable matching colours the two of us had was black.
ReplyDeleteI know what you know! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for your help. Wouldn't be even half the fun without you guys parading along Swanston St. LOL.
i missed it damnit! i demand that the two of u parade down jalan ampang when u guys get back. mesti. tau.
