Gravity

"I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind. And this is one; I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it..." ~ Emily Bronte

In the name of Allah, the Benevolent, the most Merciful.

At the outset, I must say that this post is about Akif and Aisha...

I have not written about them in so long. And I find not writing makes it heavy. The weight of keeping everything inside, its heavy.

I stumbled along this song, and it immediately gave me flashbacks of my angel son and angel daughter. Sometimes, how you feel, words just fall short. And it takes a song, or its melody to express it for you.

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

No matter what I say or do

I still feel you here until the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch

You keep me without chains

I've never wanted anything so much

Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free

Leave me be

I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall

Just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me because I'm fragile

When I thought that I was strong

But you touch me for a little while

All my fragile strength is gone

Set me free

Leave me be

I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall

Just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees

As I try to make you see

That you're everything I think I need

Here on the ground

You're neither friend or foe

Though I can't seem to let you go

One thing that I know

Is that you're keeping me down

Keeping me down

You're on to me

On to me

On to me

All over

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long..

Mama misses you Akif

Ummi misses you Aisha

Kinta Riverview Suites, Ipoh

Hi readers.

Another weekie update for you guys. I'm chock full of hotel reviews these days!

Anyways.

A month ago or so, we went back to Ipoh and stayed and Kinta Riverview Suites.

Okay, I had to steal the pics off my IG because I have deleted it from my phone.   

Having stayed at so many hotels, I realised I have been become rather picky about the details, because well, I know what I should get for the money I paid.

Anyway. I loved the decor, just look at the bathroom backsplash, rich patterned wallpapers adorning the rooms and comfy, cozy bed.

Check in was fast, staff was friendly, ample parking was available. I had a view of the river, but well, it really was not that great of a view because the river was a shade of teh tarik. But thats not the hotel's fault.

Breakfast was nice, but there was no omelet station so that was kind of sad for Airiel's bonda.  The lift only allows access to your designated floor so it was quite a hassle for me as my family were situated on different floors, including Airiel (Yes he had his own room, little divo).

It's a good choice for Ipoh, so do give it a try if you happen to be in Ipoh.

The week is coming to an end and 2 weeks from now, the year is.

Make it count readers.

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.
