nasha & the wait

it just occcured to me today how ms she's-all-that reminds me of somebody.

in the (never seems to be finished) novel i'm writing, there's a character - a malaysian girl studying in the US - who has a principal influence in the life of eqmar, the main character. i call the girl 'nasha,' coz i love that name. (adila and amira are my other two fav names.) and since she's a student, i had to give her a major, so i chose economics, the same course of study as eqmar. nasha's quiet, smart, sweet, kindhearted, and on and on.

nasha seems so much like missy all-that, completely nasha-personified, exactly what i imagined nasha to be. in the same studies too. no wonder when i was chatting with her, something keeps nudging about how she's like somebody i know (albeit, a character in a story... but hey, when you're writing a novel, you live and breathe the life of these people, and it's as if you know them better than they know their own selves).



in other news, still no word from ms she's-all-that.

i called to say hi, but she was indisposed. no return call.
i emailed a hello, yet still no reply.

i'm holding out on fragile hope here.
