I want him to wake up,
for himself.
I want him to wake up,
for his family.
I want him to wake up,
and live to 80+ like the strong person he is.
I want him to wake up,
So that I can tell him that I didn't mean it.
I want him to wake up..
Because if he doesn't,
I will never live through this.

Long Overdue
Dear Yasmin,
I'm writing a letter to you that is now long overdue. I'm sorry that I put this off for way too long and I think now is the best time to tell you how much you've changed my life.
I remember going to watch Sepet at the cinemas in Bukit Jambul. I anticipated the release of the movie and when it finally aired, I went with my significant other. What I remember then was how much I could feel from watching your movie, and how much I couldn't stop crying.
You see Yasmin, in a twisted and sort of inverted way, I feel like Orked. And he is my Jason. I connected so much with Sepet, I could feel the knives stabbing my heart during the scene where Jason was waiting for Orked at the chinese stall and Keong told Jason that he shouldn't date malays. I felt happy for Orked and Jason whenever they were together, like in the scene where they were taking pictures together or when they ran in the rain.
I've heard the things they told Jason in the movie so many times already. So much that I think if I would get RM1 each time, I'd be close to a millionaire by now.
What I'm trying to say right now is, that you, Yasmin, changed my life. You touched it without trying to, you taught me how to love without any restraints and you taught me that life is never without complications every person must face. Because of you, I learned never to stop loving him whenever we had problems, in fact, I learned to love him more.
I know that the probability of you reading this now is zero, but I want to show the world how much you have helped me love a person from a different race and background.
Dear Yasmin, if it wasn't for you and your wonderful movies and advertisements, I wouldn't be celebrating my 5th year anniversary with him this coming 14th.
My only hope now, is that may be with time, I can get my parents to see how happy I can be with him, and pray that they will approve of our relationship and let us be together.
Through your movies, you have shown us kindness and the ways to love another, no matter who that person may be or what he or she might have done before.
Thank you Yasmin Ahmad, you will be deeply and sorely missed.
Still crying whenever I see any of your films,
