Salam to all.
Its definitely not too late to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Maaf Zahir Batin. Hope your raya was a good one. For us, bulan going back to tandop, kedah and melawat sanak-saudara in the midst of green-brown paddy fields whilst I went traditional and enjoyed raya with my family and relatives in bachok, kelantan. Also, thanks to everyone who came over during Raya, was great catching up and thanks to mom for cooking the best nasi dagang ever.
OK, so its 8 weeks to go….!!!! gile ko, 8 minggu lagi nak kahwin siot….
Getting married is not all fun & games!!!
Bulan did the running around and getting forms for approval for us to get married. Just seems odd that we need the state’s approval to get married~ so authoritarian, right? You collect the form from the Tg.Malim office (assuming you’re in Perak), go for HIV test, then submit your form to your local Penolong Pendaftar Nikah (more affectionately known as PPN) along with other supporting docos (i.e. fotostat IC, for him to sign then go back to Tg.Malim and submit it to the office there and the desired end result is a letter that state-certifies that you are eligible to get hitched and you pass this letter to your fiancee and let her have a turn at the bureaucracy of it all.
With the date looming by so close, I do wonder, when driving/running/going to sleep, whether I am ready to get married. Bukan ape, being a wife ni is quite a daunting task with ambiguous and dynamic challenges along the way, apatah lagi nak jadi good wife ye tak? And I still feel like I’m 18 on somedays (hmmm…rase cam 16-tgh-pakai-school-uniform pun ade gak). Its also taking another role to your existing repertoire of a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, friend, which you are still working to be good at. But at the end, I know I made the right choice so yg lain semua boleh settle la.
Lepas tu, bile tinggal dua bulan lagi, preparation sepatutnya full steam ahead la….tu yg agak serabut sikit. I think we settled most of the important stuff (with a lot of help from the families, thanks guys!) tapi ade la hantaran yg tak beli lagi (partially my fault cause I don’t know which batik to get), kasut bulan tak cari lagi, baju akad nikah tak hantar tailor lagi (this weekend) etc. I think kene buat to-do-list besar2 pas tu tampal kat fridge kat rumah. Bile dah crossout item by item baru puas hati.
Also, we should be distributing our cards soon, so keep an eye on your mailbox (real and virtual) please~.
