PERGI TAK DISURUH, DATANG TAK DIUNDANG (Incomplete Address)

Great adventure it seems to be that we are so fortunate to become guests of spectacular wedding events of our beloved friends and family members. Some events are well-planned with glamorous persona of the ceremonies the way status quo of the hosts dictate.

Some guests have got prestigious addresses where the invitation can reach the invitees. Sometimes, the addresses are incomplete (in Malay "alamat tak lengkap") and that means it is not approved as an invitation (in Malay term "tak lulus").

Even when the guests are long-lasting or long-time-enough friends of the hosts, the incomplete addresses must not be seen as a complete invitation; as many V.I.Ps such as high ranking bankers (banking or credit or even loan sharks eventually) and investors who are so adamant to have their guests' addresses complete to such an extent they have to make hundreds of calls to the same telephone numbers per day, just to ensure that the addresses are complete in their definition and sights.

How many of your beloved lecturers for example are geared to remember to invite you for their wedding ceremonies? One way loved by students is very common as far as incomplete addresses are concerned (or to whom it may be concerned, rather). Does it mean that the lecturers are obstinate and not dedicated towards their (beloved?) students? They can always choose whom they might invite, can't they?

I have a few previous lecturers I love(d) the most. But when it comes to their wedding invitations, they kept mum. Luckily they never revealed their addresses were incomplete. Do you still believe in true love? You'll be lucky enough if your previous lecturer(s) love you. Still, you need to verify whether their addresses are complete hitherto.

In any wedding, sometimes unknown people may become ad hoc bankers. Ironically, even when the addresses are not specifically complete, loans are still being disbursed without any telephone call verifications. Some of them are extremely annoying bankers, as always.

The above doesn't leave a bad remark to these species of ad hoc bankers  but it seems very weird when regular / legitimate bankers suddenly lost contact with their clients due to incomplete addresses.

To be honest, it is not advisable to find true love in bankers or via banking systems, obviously. Even so, they will continuously reject you if you do not provide for complete addresses. 

There are occasions when some people will never invite you to their wedding ceremonies due to some constraints, namely geographical location factors, descendants, or maybe sheer "out-of-clan" or "out-of-state" lineage, so you are not welcomed officially.

Nobody cares if you are not somebody of importance, name or fame. Your presence is just ordinary and your absence is also just like a 'sheer curtain'. Nobody will cry if you are not there.

There you go, true love is not in existence, until you find yourself crying for something that touches your feeling and logical understanding on why the person you invite is not around or not even step his foot on your ground. 

Being close to the people you admire the most is just good enough if you feel you are invited. Perhaps you are not special to them. You must accept the fact that you are not above their standards in their receptions.

Obviously, it is not easy to be present in a wedding ceremony when your addresses are incomplete.

Below is a poem in Malay Language specially written for someone I admire the most, and perhaps my address is incomplete that I may not be able to be present in their ceremony today.

Inginku lukis wajah manismu
Menyinar bak suria dirimu
Hembusan syahdu mengubat rindu
Di dalam suara merdu buluh perindu

Menatap wajah itu - kaku
Ingin berdiri tiada tersedu
Kau kukasihi si tenang ku rindu
Terima seadanya bak pemburu

Mungkin kau sedar aku di sini
Membawa maksud kendiri hati
Persis mutiara bersinar sendiri
Sekelam sedalam lautan diri

Berputar seni halusnya maya
Memegang bertali terikat daya
Hanya makrifat cinta Pencipta
Memberi rasa seluas angkasa.


Obstinate - Will a lecturer or banker love an obstinate student? Perhaps your addresses might be incomplete if he/she really loves you. He/she will be crying for more than two months because they will never call you, even when your addresses are complete.

Please do not call me again (as the address is incomplete).
