It's the time of the year again, the time when people would list down their endless resolutions and milestones to mark the end of a year and a beginning of of a new one,

anddd I'm one of those typical bunch. he he.

Ya know lah just in case I forgot what I've achieved and whatnot.

So lets get it on with the milestones, shall we?

1. Managed to keep my owh so flexible job, tho it's not like I'm struggling to avoid myself from being fired or anything but it's great to have a job with an enormous career progress and the fact that I'm enjoying it whilst I'm at it. Heard the news bout the big increment/promotion coming, but lets keep it for later.


2. Learned how to keep my sanity over those uninvited dramas. It's hard to live a life without any interference from those freaks these days, tho your life is pathetic it ain't a good reason to mess with others. 3 words, get a life.


3. Realized that the cure to most of the relationship issues(be it with the pacar and whoevernot) is to blardy communicate. Since we don't have our thoughts written and flashing brightly on top of our head so yea, kindly speak up. The pacar wouldn't know that you're dying for something or you're agitated over something that he did unless you say it out loud(yea, guys, sometimes they are totally blurry just like that. he he :P ).


4. Managed to spend more time with the parents and the beloved sanak-sedara. I made it a point to get back home at least once month. We need to keep the parents happy no?
   


5. Learned a lesson or two about cars. Must. check.on.em.often. Jangan tau bawak jer.(this exact sentence sounds oddly familiar :P)


6. Managed to stay in a relationship for 3 freaking years and finally took one of the big steps toward the tangled in the knots world. Honestly being engaged is funny, I still couldn't stop smirking when people referring to C*** as tunang or finance dan semua yang sewaktu dengannyer. In fact, I still call him pacar or bf. Tunang is just too hmmpp..serious. Well, perhaps it is. Ini serious! :P


7. I planned to go far this year and I did. Not distance wise but on certain things.
   

That's about it, others are too hmpp..private or to bleh to be mentioned. he he.

The resolutions? Again, I'll stick with my ever so wonderful resolution.

Attitude.

To be grateful for the blessed life - attitude.

To respect people - attitude.

To appreciated the loved ones - attitude.

To not be dangerously envious of others - attitude.

It's sorta corny(as I would repeat this year in year out) but I still believe that a good attitude will determine how far one can go in life.

In case it didn't show, I'm truly thankful for everything, be it good or bad. Hikmah sometimes comes in a funny way no?

Alhamdulillah.

So yea, have a great new year.

See you next year.

This is corny, tapiiiii...

I would like to extend my gratitude to those directly and indirectly involved in making my I'm getting there day so blardy awesome and err..hassle free(except for those minor stuff here and there, you know lah, you just couldn't win them all).

The parents for the much needed emotional and ehem, financial support :P( of coz la, programmer cabuk where got money one.Love love), the arrays of helpful aunties(whom willing to spend their time for the hantaran hunting thingy and foodies), beloved cousins for the support(one of the lovely hantaran included) and the much needed cara-cara untuk bersalam dengan mertua practice and last but not least the relatives and friends(yang datang gile jauh) for making it it owh so meriah.

From the bottom on my bottomless heart, I truly thank you. :x

Well, I'm running out of words on how all those stuff changed my life(forever) and how it makes me feel.

So yea, I won't go on with the endless senseless rambling, so let's simplify it, shall we?

1. I like my simple baju. It got the right amount of bling-bling. Just the way I like it.Less is more,no?
Apekah sungguh putih dan scary compared to my real skin(after I managed to rub off the 18 feet thick makeup). Tsk tsk.

2. I sorta hmpp...detest my makeup since I'm not big on those fair and lovely thingy. Like what's the problem people? What's with the perempuan mesti la putih untuk nampak chantik crap. Like cmmon, grow up. I'm thankful to be fair but I don't need to be any fairer so thankyouverymuch.


3. Dad ordered waaaay too much food that I think we could feed the whole kampung with it. That what happened when you got 2 caterers.


4. I'm thankful for a sempoi future PIL. Please God, make em stay that way.


5. I like my hantaran tho I think mum was overcharged for it, shall find a better decorator next year.


6. I love my ring & I'm big on the platinum and diamond thingy so nobody could talk me out of it. Thankyouverymuch.(Yea, I don't mind if the ring tak laku kalau nak digadai so shshh already).


7. I missed all the fun outside the house since I was busy being pemalu inside - plus the weather was crazy, sangat panas. Mana boleh keluar nanti cair makeup I(sila baca dengan nada yang vain).


8. I was starving since I was too nervous to eat but finally managed to gobble down a quater-plateful after Tok's countless reminder. A quater of a plate you ask? Fret not, it was just the beginning, we had abundant of leftovers remember? :P


9. Despite all, I am truly thankful for everything. Alhamdulillah.

Owh yes, the big day is coming within 6 months,so pardon me if I start to go all paranoid and whiny about the wedding thing(as it would be so absurd if I'm not). he he.

Till then, wish me luck.

Ciou.

I'm half way there, we(me & C***) are half way there.

Yea, we finally decided to get married(haha, ayat macam terpaksa, no lah. The time has come).

Hence the news that I'm about to convey,

we're engaged! :P
Rasa macam sudah all grown up. ( I'm supposed to feel that years ago isn't it?)

Well ya, being semi-attached is..hmpp..well, fun(even more reasons to hector him). :P

Honestly, somewhere at the back of my mind, I still couldn't believe we've come this far(tho I'm very much thankful for it) since we're just different(tho we share the same hobby of talking and nagging at each other & insatiable passion for good food).

C***'s pretty simple.

Good-humored(me likey, tho sometimes jokes dia memang rasa macam nak tampar jer),the kinda person who would be ever so ready to laugh at my jokes(or at me specifically when I start to panic like a headless chicken),

never fuss over details(unlike ehem, yours truly which sometimes irritates the hell out of me.Itu bukannya tidak fussy tapi ignorance okeh?)

willing to take some time off only to teach me the easiest route to my friend's wedding(especially when he won't be able to come due to other obligation) so I won't get lost in the middle of nowhere(yea, I have a bad sense of direction, thank God I got myself another half who's vice versa & he's caring just like that. Love love),

nags about my multiple addictions *roll eyes* & ease me of my paranoia-complicated-self pain.

A minus point as he doesn't appreciate the power of retail therapy as much as I do(coz the only shopping that he does is for his cars not himself tapi still kena drag around for my shopping spree all the same) but never the one who would be lack of idea to comment. He would go " I think that color would look better on you, tadi tu color macam busuk". (How is it even possible for a color to be busuk? )

He used(used ke? he he) to be my personal loan-shark once upon a time ago(read: when I just started working and would spend the whole paycheque 2 weeks after I got em(it was heavenly,tapi lepas tuu..owh misery)& too broke to replace my own missing cellphone when it got stolen. he he).

He's the youngest in the family but surprisingly(in a good way) tidak ketegaq(read:degil) unlike me. If I'm a soldier I would be the one who keeps on running toward the enemies whilst firing my gun tho I've been shot 5 times.

I strive for what I believe in - tho it's not like I'm right most of the time, but I'm stubborn & too determined just like that. It would take a hella lot of patience and a heart of steel to cope with me whilst I'm taking the reality in before I'm finally back to my senses.

Anndddddd I hate to admit this, but I'm rather stuck up so my apologies don't come easy, it's like kalau you're not sorry, don't be. It's better than hypocrisy no? Mintak maaf tak ikhlas buat ape. he he.

So yea, being well determined is one thing,but being annoyingly stubborn is another - that's something I need to work on.

Owh well, there's a loong way to go & I hope C***'s patience enough to go thru that, till then, wish me luck.

Tata.

p/s: More stories, pictures & gratitude coming later.

Monday is sucky.

Especially when you got to spent the long weekend at home with abundant food to eat, huge tv to watch, big comfy bed to sleep on, mum to talk to and go out for endless shopping spree with, lil brother to hector & dad to nag at you about stuff(yea yea, I'm still being nagged at.)

Haih.

I think I'm having those homesick-ness syndromes again.

Anyway, my productiveness at work is rapidly decreasing. Thanks to these facts

1. The freezing period is coming(the system deployment freezing period okay, not mine :P) hence the malas-ness.


2. The office is eerily quiet since most of the people are off for a loong break from work & I'm just well, in the mood for a long break too.


3. My system's user is sucky(yea,still talking about the same user from hell). She claimed that she had emailed me regarding some stuff & I've checked for 1000 thousands times but there's no blardy email and now you're mad at me for the so called insufficient support?
   
   Like hello, I'm the developer, if you ever bump into an error, kindly contact the helpdesk. That's what it's for. It's like if you found a defect on a product that you bought in T*sco, you won't simply call up the manufacturer right?(Unless of coz you are one of those rajin people). You would normally go to the customer service for refund or exchange. So yea, the same concept applies, thankyouverymuch.


4. My head is stuffed with something which is rather,hmpp..worrying but lets not go there.

That's about it, as I'm too lazy to write bout the remaining 1001 facts. :P

On a lighter note, I'm going back home again on Wednesday, for a longer than the previous one weekend. I hope it gonna be a blast.

I can't wait.

On a second thought, I would rather wait.

Have a great week & owh, hope it's not too late to wish you a happy Ma'al Hijrah.

Tata.

I'm alive, but I've been sooo occupied with loads of thing that I barely had enough time to breathe(not literally,ya know what I mean).

So let's be random for a bit.

Anyway, last week had been tremendously hectic.

I had a deployment which lasted all night, I only managed to get back home a few minutes past subuh and the roads were starting to get busy too during my drive back home but it was satisfying nevertheless.

Managed to do some extensive shopping during the weekend, courtesy of c***. :x The truth is, I didn't really bother bout those small stuff that comes with the huge price tag before but unfortunately that's exactly what I want..err..need I mean. :P

The darling's engagement on Saturday was nice, fancy and all that. Congratz darling, you're looking wonderful and obviously happy. :P Its great to see those familiar faces again(Munnie is out of the list since she's just next door,jalan kaki pon sampai) & yea, the foood. What's kenduri without the food kaaann? I ate like there's no tomorrow, wait a min, not me, C*** ate like there's no tomorrow. Patut la tak kurus2. Ehem. :P

I'm currently in the mid of my 4 days J2EE architecture training, yea, you guessed it right.It's booooring. It reminded me of those undergrad's boring classes which seem to go on forever. *sighs*

I'm going back home for the long weekend, so little time so much (shopping) to do. Hmpp..

I need a facial, like desperately. Tsk tsk.

I want sotong goreng tepung.

Tata.

Yea, nasik minyak,but not mine. Yet. :P

Anyway,I hate to sound blardy vain, but I got a blardy color transfer on the white leather-trimmed handle of my new bag. Owh sungguh mengecewakan. So how ah?

Tsk tsk. Now should I go and burn my red silk satin baju kurung? Hmppp...

Hatred and frustration aside.

I should thank C*** for the weekend's shopping spree since he's been sooo generous and baik hati and understanding and baik hati and..hmpp..did I tell you that he's so baik hati? he he. :P

Being this near(approximately 2mm) to being broke tho it's only the 1st week of the month is one thing but having a generous pacar who pays for everything(which I should repay back later thru the various payment scheme, yea, my pacar is as flexible as court mammoth) is another. I should be really thankful for that.

What would I do without you? Plenty, I'm just resourceful like that. :P

Back to the nasi minyak.

I managed to stuff myself with as much nasi minyak as I could handle(after a week of rice-less week, yea, I'm trying to lose weight over here, sila ketawa). Zue's mum event tapau some of the yummeh food for me to bring home for dinner & extra goodie bags. Owh terima kasih.

So yea darling, have a blessed married life okie. Don't argue too much(yea yea, this comes from me). Make loads of babies(okie, this is not from me, this make loads of babies thing sometimes deserve a slap on the face,ade sedikit annoying). Whatever it is, be happy aight? Owh yea, I'll be waiting for you, for you know what. :P

Another bunch of kenduri is coming next weekend, yeah Dec is such a nasi minyak laden month. I simply love it but my yearning-for-a-better-weight-self sorta hate it. :P

Owh, have a great week.

Tata.

Life has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for me, tho it's only the 2nd day of the months.

What kinda ride you ask?

Lemme enlighten you with the facts.

1. I bumped into a car whilst trying to swift my car from being hit by a blardy lorry(whilst hanging for my dear life) and it cost me a month of paycheque to compensate the other car's damage and mine. I lost the whole front bumper but Alhamdulillah it's just that. Duit bleh dicari , no?


2. So yea, I'm almost one paycheque poorer, so I guess I hafta survive on whatever left of my 6 days old paycheque, do you think I can survive? Yes I can!(Berusahalah!) :P


3. I spent the entire afternoon at the workshop yesterday, but it ain't that miserable with C*** around.(He happened to have a loong break for EID, thanks darling, what would I do without you.) So yea, managed to chuck the old bumper out, a wee bit of fix on the chassis & the new bumper was fitted in. All good minus the odd color for the bumper, I couldn't bear the fact that I would be transport-less for days(again), so yea, just bear the mismatch bumper's color lah for now kan? It ain't that bad pon. he he.(Ayat penyedap hati.)


4. I'm still waiting for the other driver to come up with the payment arrangement - since he's so nice and perhaps I looked like a sad little lost kid or something yesterday, so he thought it would be better for me to have some sort of monthly payment scheme(hah, how lucky is that?). Tho I've already put the money aside but we'll see how it goes lah.

That's about it, after all it boils down to the fact that I'm okay, Alhamdulillah. :)

Have a great week okay, and drive safe(he he, seriously, take it from me, you don't wanna be broke at the beginning of the month like me, do you?).

Tata.
