Of Moon and Cat

Ikin was asking why Cat loves looking at the moon so much? She said that the moon is so boring: not moving, not blinking. Just like the lights at home. She said that it would be better to look at the stars.

Well, Ikin, there's something that you should know.. Cat is ..a.. werewolf! :P
No lah, there's no such things as werewolves. They only exist in movies and story books. Cat does not even like meat. :p

In verity, Cat started to love looking at the moon when Cat was studying in France. It was not Dad who told Cat about the myth of the moon. No one actually did that. Cat loves to read story books and legends of all sorts, and in every tale, there's always the moon in it when the story reach the sad or scary part.

After Nancy, each one of us, the Malaysian students were required to choose what field of studies to pursuit. We were also asked to choose where we would like to be sent to from a list of areas that have the courses that we were interested in.

Trying to see if Cat can be independent or not, and desiring to be on her own, Cat agreed to go to Strasbourg, Capital of Europe. 4 hours on train to Paris and several more hours to the East of France. The smell of adventure.

There were times when the heart is heavy, Cat trying to act as if Cat doesn't care and nothing can touch her. Cat lives almost at the top of the building. It was a very small room with a bed, a reading table, a wardrobe and a small sink. Hardly any space to move around but the good part is that it has a big window.

The night sky in Strasbourg is different from the night sky here. Over there, the sky was so clear that you can hardly see the stars. But the moon would always be there, at the same spot and it seems so near that you feel as if you could touch it with your fingers. Sleeping with the window opened, Cat would empty her heart out, telling the moon her true feelings. And that is how the story goes..
