Happy-Ending

Ok, leaving for Kelantan now, will be spending the nights there with the parents and relatives. Plan to do decorate the hantaran and such tonight (and will have time to enjoy keropok lekor and colek too..hehehe).

I feel calm and relaxed with a bit of agitation nagging at the side. If all goes well, insya-Allah, we’ll be married tomorrow at 8:30 pm.

We’re getting married tomorrow……now thats one phrase you don’t say everyday. Cheers!

Been busy!

The initial idea was to update every day or so on the countdown towards the days.

Heh. So much for that.

Been busy as the past few days, tying a couple of loose ends. Its been great though a bit tiring, running errands i.e driver duty, with my parents has allowed me to spend loads of quality time with them in the days running towards the big day.

It also allows me to get my feet wet (its pretty much drenched now) in the wedding preparation as I was away most days of the week for the past year.

...and so the countdown begins...

I got 10 days
One for everytime I gone away
One for everytime I should have stayed...


And so the countdown begins. You know the countdown has started when you are thinking in terms of “this is my last insert activity as a bachelorette”. It starts of with big events like birthdays, Raya and narrows down to daily activities like working, watching movies, shopping, showering, eating dinner, blablabla…you get the idea.

And the more it narrows down, the more real the idea of marriage is becoming. Which is definitely not a bad thing, but the dauntingness of it all can get overwhelming. It helps that you keep busy with wedding preparations since we can only keep 7 or so things in our head at one time. And trust me, you’ll have more than 7 things in your head.

OK, so last weekend was filled with mostly sending out invites, procuring friends’ addresses over FB, text messages, family meetings on preparation before the BIG-day and guest list management.

The photographers? I am really excited about this. After much shopping around and deliberation, we decided to go with NurrStudio and Atiyya, photographers during our engagement last August. Personally, I like their style which is a mixture of artistic and standard poses. Photos are important since your wedding album is about the only thing you can show your kids long after you start showing your age. Although, I’m still nervous on how the photos will turn out (I hate buying experience goods), but lets hope for the best and smile a lot during the day.

We’re going DIY for the video though, getting snippets here and there and compiling it with a video editor. Based on my observation, wedding videos always seemed a bit too long and draggy, so it would be great to have a video with the highlights, mixed with the photos, with our favourite songs in the background. And my dear Xaty, you have to help me on this!


PEACE.

pengsan.

entah.
tiba-tiba saya pengsan.
bateri dah habis kot.
lupa nak charge.

lain kali kalau demam saya tak keluar sorang-sorang lagi.
kesian awak dgn mak ayah tiba-tibe kena datang sini.
sayang sangat awak kat saya ya?
sukanya!!!!

humph....

kalau saya tak kisah pasal career development salah ke?
tak kan? kan kan kan?
kalau dalam career aspiration saya nak tulis menternak lembu pun tak salah kan?
sesetengah orang, yelah, cita-cita dia nak jadi seseorang yang besar dalam company.
tapi kalau saya sebenarnya cukuplah sekadar nak datang kerja untuk dapat gaji, untuk saya jalan-jalan satu dunia. tak salah kan?
saya bukan jenis lahap kerja.
orang selalu lupa, kita kerja untuk hidup.
untuk memenuhi keperluan.
tapi sesetengah orang dah jadikan kerja sebagai hidup.
dan berharap orang-orang sebelah , tepi , kiri kanan pun jadi macam dia.
crap lah semua ini.
boss, i am here to have fun and make money to have fun.
bukannya nak tension fikir tentang assessment dan rating.
masa tertekan dah lepas.
tu semua waktu saya belajar dulu.
sekarang masa untuk bergembira dan lupakan semua formula.
Y to the E to the A to the Y.

yeay!
eh. sebulan lebih lagi saya nak kahwin.

double yeay!
yeay-yeay!

marah ni!

harini saya balik kerja lambat.
saya demam. batuk. selsema.
bos suddenly nak buat performance review 19th october. urghhh.
sebelum ni dalam email 30th
geram betul!
keje ada 3 juta semuanya.
1 juta dah siap. ada lagi 2 juta.
hmm banyaknya.

*asap keluar ikut hidung
saya dah amik cuti untuk balik kg esok sampai sabtu.
ni rasa nak mengamuk ni.

korang dah puas beraya deepavali, balik-balik terus nak buat review.
saya yang cuti last week kena pergi kerja, isu saman bertimbun-timbun,
baru planning nak bercuti off day kali ni, kena datang lagi kerja.

N to the G to the E to the K
NGEK!
sorry, marah sikit. marah kejap je.
promise.

Tik.Tok.Tik.Tok..

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~.
