My dearest,

The shopping mall is playing Hari Raya songs. ‘Tis the season, after all. We get into our car and head out. Traffic is bad outside, even after dinner. We use this extra time to sing songs to each other, from ‘Selamat Hari Raya’ to ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me’ — and all of these songs? We sing them badly.

Time passes swiftly when you are trying to outdo each other in how bad you can sing.

Yours, ever and always.
