I had a talk on YM with the preggy darling yesterday, talked about work, the big day preparations(yea she's one of my official tuan penasihat now) and the sort, when one of her inquiries(gila skema) caught me by surprise.

Z :"Eh how come you never tell me how he proposed?"
Me: "Err..tak pernah ke?"
Z :"No, I don't think so."
Me: "Err..his mum datang meminang?"
Z :"No silly, I wanna know the horrid details, bukan yang adat2 tu."
Me: "Err..I dunno."
Z : T_T

Like, I'm serious over here. We don't have the cliche begging on one knee with red roses in one hand and a ring on another moments. My C*** is unromantic, okay that's sorta evil, scratch that. He's well, hmpp..never the one to venture into the cheesy side of the world but that doesn't make him a bad pacar lah, just less romantic one. he he. :P

His idea of romantic perhaps range from keeping me safe during my midnight deployments to remembering my craving list - as he would go "dari last week kan awk nak makan ni,baru hari ni dapat" and somewhere at the back of my mind I would be jumping up and down thinking "owh darling, you remember!".

Yea those moments count. Saya memang suka analyze the overlooked small insignificant stuff, coz for me, it matters but don't tell C*** that, else he will never venture into the big stuff(besides the idea of tying the knots with me lah kan?) he he.

To get the record straight, it's not like he never have his attempts at being romantic.

He had, but it's just that I have an unbelievable a high standard when it comes to romance and he's yet to get there( & I have myself to blame for being an inexpressive pacar kerana he's technically my 1st real pacar, so I'm still in my learning phase with a steep learning curve. Alasan.).

Takpe lah, slow and steady, we'll work it out, no? :P

Owh yes, tho I couldn't recall how he proposed (if he ever did),but the whole do you wanna marry me process(yea,it's a process,bukan moment kerana he has to grow the idea of us getting married on me,kerana saya freaked out, like ape? awak nak kawen? me? really?) actually took place sometime in 2008.

Love doesn't grow on trees, or does it?


It was dragged straight to the end of 2009(due to his training in Japan and whatnot), where the whole vision was semi-materialized during our engagement. Yea,so we're half way there.

Yippie? :D

p/s:Owh, harini saya cuti lagi lalu pergi bershopping(alone). Hoyeh!

The long weekend was great,

the whole weekend getaway with the parents was wonderful, I did nothing but

sleep(tido with the naturally cool atmosphere is heaven I tell ya, not as drying as sleeping in an air-conditioned room),

eat blardy loads(yer,masih belum berdiet tho I'm getting married in..well,88 days, gulp),

had kiddish fun at the theme park otherwise known as me bermain permainan budak-budak kerana saya tiada geng to go for the extreme adrenalin rush, you can't expect your parents(who are both in their 50s) to play along kan?,

and frequent the starb*ck for my morning doses of hot chocolate with cinnamon.

That pretty much sums it all, with an additional shopping spree and luncheon with the parents before they went back home on Saturday.

Owh, I just hafta jot this down, sometime within our short getaway, dad casually said something on how this could be the my last holiday(?) together with em whilst I'm still unattached, like yea, perhaps it is, looking at how time flies, macam super cepat heading toward the big day dan membuatkan saya rasa takot dan macam sedih la pulak bila dah mentioned macam tu.

Haih, lets not go there.

Anyway, come Sunday I had a date with a preggy bff(yang mempunyai nafsu shopping yang dasyat), she convinced me on buying 2 cute sandals(well, I didn't need much convincing pon, he he) and an appointment with this nice tudung-maker who I hope will work her magic on my custom-made tudung for both solemnization and reception. he he.

This is crazy, wasting my hard-earned moneh on tudung which I would only wear for a couple of hours(dan selepas tu akan dihumban somewhere collecting dust kerana it would be too fancy for normal wear), tapi whaddaheck? Raja sehari kan? he he.

On a lighter note, I was dragged to the la la land rather early last night(I swear I felt like I was drugged or something), only to be roused from my deep sleep by a phone call from C*** at 11pm and as usual I would magically talk as if I'm still wide awake.

Talked about our pending shopping spree, like yea, the GP sale is still on, so might as well grab the necessary stuff while they are on big discount and about moi car - as something's wrong with the drive shaft so I hafta get it fix by this weekend(with the help of darling C*** of coz, yey for having a very wonderful engineer pacar), else I'll be doomed.

Yea, saya masih cheapskate utk beli a new ride.I think it's unnecessary as I would only use it to get to work(kerana I have C*** to drive me around during the weekend :P).

Beli kereta mahal-mahal pon tak guna as it would be a waste to spend 1/3 of my paycheque on the car loan padahal saya setakat nak pegi keje yang hanya 40km pegi and balik and I don't have the need to impress anyone.

Just for the record, I believe that whatever I've achieved in life couldn't be defined by the car that I own, or the savvy cell phone or the shoes, make-up or whatnot, that's just too shallow. Don't you think? Zaman sekolah boleh la nak compare-compare kasut saper yang paling best and mahal, dia lah yang paling cool. :P

That's about it, have a great week ahead & be good.

Ciou.

I'm just done with this one particular system and I'm still waiting for the users to proceed with the UAT of my previous system, tetapi the users adelah malas lipas so saya adelah boring dan marah.

It's irritating on how they would badger you to work on the system enhancement and bila dah siap, kenapekah kau malas nak test?

Haih, sungguh sakit jiwa, but lets not go there.

Owh well, I've been meaning to write about fast food - ini adelah selepas melihat KF* yang semakin lama semakin desperate dengan menu yang tah ape-ape. I don't know about you, but the idea of having briyani in KF* is like ewww, it's like having roti canai in a steak house, ya get the drift?

I would rather spend my moneh on a plate of real briyani at a mamak somewhere compared to the pathetic looking one at KF*, briyani + fried chickens + a bowl of soup? Like are you kidding me? Sape makan nasi briyani dengan soup? It's probably a mutation of their sad nasi ayam, like owh lets change the nasi ayam to nasi briyani for more moneh. ha ha. Sangat tak menyelerakan.

Owh, no, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against KF*, I love their OR chicken and cheesey wedges. I think they should just stick with what they are best at and keep it simple minus the nonsense ideas - tho I understand how they hafta come up with new stuff to compete with other fast food joints but ya know, sila la come up with something yang make sense.

On a lighter note, I hafta steer away from fast food nowadays(and hopefully forever), as most of the fat consumed will go straight to my butt(whilst clotting my arteries in the process).

I don't need my butt to be any size larger thanks to my tailor casual remark (aka friendly reminder that I should keep fit - when I went to see her for the solemnization's dress fitting), she was like "dia ni pinggang kecik tapi kat pinggul ni besar", yeaaaa, thankyouverymuch for saying it out loud and in front of C***.


As if I need someone to point that out lah kan, I'm not blind.

How depressing, jadi mari pergi bercuti bersama parents.

Have a good weekend.

Ciou.

The long awaited day is here, like finally.

The boss came in bearing letters of good, well, scratch that, great news.

We finally got our handsome bonus payout.Alhamdulillah.

For me, there's no better time to finally earn it, like I'm getting married over here(but of coz the boss doesn't know that yet kerana saya adelah misteri).What's the connection between getting married and bonus payout you asked?

Lemme shed some light on today's marriage equations.

Nowadays marriage thingymagicgy = blardy expensive otherwise known as I need blardy loads of fricking moneh.

Therefore,

Nowadays marriage thingymagicgy + handsome bonus + good increment = great (as it reduces the possibility of me getting a heart attack over the amount of money I hafta pay for the wedding) = I'll get to have a decent wedding after all.

So this vision that I have about marriage is rather true - when you found the right someone with the right niat, the rezeki would come.

Terima kasih ya Allah, now I have one less thing to worry about.

On a lighter note(yea, did you think I won't have it this time? he he), I'll be on half day off(again) tomorrow. I'll be having my long weekend(again) this week.

He he. Yer, saya desperately mahu menghabiskan cuti tahun lepas saya before semuanya expired by the end of March.

Boleh bergumbira bersama parents di gentinghighland esok. Yippe!
Tata now.

Love is...

spending time pouring your heart out over 2 cans of soft drink & a bottle of mineral water after work (whilst feeding the stray cats with junk food - kerana keropok itu tak sedap, well not as sedap as I used to think - maybe sebab dah lama tak makan junk food) .

---

On a lighter note, I'm amused over the fact that C*** actually came to ask me out, semata-semata to share his stories. Like, owh, I am that important - coz it's not like we're living without cellphones right? Plus we subscribed to this family package thingy so we could actually ring and text each other for free.

Well,it's nice to be important and loved after all. ♥

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile :)

Love is..

getting a text from the pacar♥ in the wee hours which left you smiling like a cheshire cat during the 1st 10 minutes and (smiling) like an idiot for the rest of the day.

I'm too easy to please.

Not good?

It's about time for my monthly balik kampung trip, so I'm heading up North in 4 hours.

Gonna spend my looong weekend with the parents and lil brother(provided he's not in campus).

Mum already called and told me about her plans, which consist of shopping, shopping and well, shopping(It's not rocket science to figure out where I got my shopaholic-trait from.) :P

So yea, same trait but sadly my pocket is not as deep, which limits my spending, akan tetapi.. the parents gonna belanja me loads of stuff for the big day, so I'm not complaining. he he.

The truth is - they are excited about the big day shopping spree more than I do(read: Ini adelah kerana saya adelah running out of my wedding fund & my bonus is yet to come, jadi shopping apekah yang dapat dilakukan?)

Well, rezeki jangan ditolak, no?

So I'm off now.

Have a great weekend.

Ciou.

If blogging is a job, I might be fired..


kerana saya adelah malas update - plus I've been busy. I have 2 UAT going on and it's draining, saya penat, mentally.

Anyway, I haven't write about my previous weekend(except for that particular Sunday whiny post).Besides the fact that I hafta work during the weekend, saya juga telah pergi menonton teater.

All thanks to Kakna bebeh. Kiss kiss :x

Yea, if you're wondering, it's Sri Mersing(still showing in Istana Budaya I reckon) and if you ask me(who's not a theater-expert), I would say that the 1st half of it managed to trigger my snooze mode whilst the 2nd half was rather good, all those half naked pendekar in actions and songs managed to keep me wide awake and yes, some of those actor/actress could really sing.

On a lighter note, I should really stop my bag craze. Like, I just spend another quarter of my paycheque for another bag and I should stop my I worked so hard so this is a gift to myself ideology. Not good.

On another lighter note, who would have thought that my inexpressive-ness in relationship actually annoys C***.

I mean, I'm made of hopelessly romantic bones but I hafta admit that I have some issues in expressing them - but it doesn't mean that I'm not trying. he he. It takes time ya know? & one hell of an effort not to cringe with embarrassment.

I just can't go "hey darling, I miss you" (or the sort) when I see him. Saya segan. :P

Yea, segan = malu ya, not segan= malas. Kedah's definition of segan is malas.

So yea, can't promise that I'll be the most expressive pacar there is, but I'll try okay? So we're good? he he. :x

Have a great week.

Ciou.

It's freaking Sunday & I'm working! Phbttttttt....

Yea, if you're wondering, geek like me does appreciate a relaxing & work-free weekend and not vice versa - as much as I love this programming thingy.

I have a life to live ya know?

Haih..Bangla pon cuti hari ahad. Tsk tsk.

My bonus better be good.Hmpppp...

Okie, enough whining, baru sekali sekala kena keje weekend dah kecoh. Owh well,I'm doing this for free ya know? So who's gonna pay for my new handbag? Not an OT.

Back to work.

Ciou.

Saya busy, so much so that I didn't get to blog-stalking these few days. Haih.

So lets be random for a bit.

I found an awesome tailor for my solemnization dress.Woot! A good price for a nice dress and a matching veil. I hope it gonna be lovely dan bukannya janji kosong semata.

I got the 1st draft of our wedding invitation. I hafta admit that I'm thrilled. Seeing those thing is like telling myself that all of this craziness that I'm having is real. Like God, look at that familiar walimatulurus thingy, it's real alright.

I'm freaking out over the fact that I'm getting married. Gah.

Work is pouring in like you wouldn't believe. I can't wait for the weekend to come.

Last but not the least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAKNA BEBEH!Kiss kiss :x (I know you stalk me like everyday :P)

So yea, have a blessed birthday okie. We'll celebrate this weekend, it's time to parrrtteeyyy! :P

Owh yea, I have something to tell you, I hope you'll like it(It's the least I can do lah before I'm tangled in my knots.)

That's about it.

Ciou.

Today, 51 years ago, someone whom I love(with every fiber of my being) was born.

I cannot thanks her enough for being a great mum and for everything she's done(& will do) for me.

Mummy, me love you loads, may Allah blessed you with a wonderful life here and hereafter. ♥ ♥

Hadiah nanti yer.he he. Lagi 2 weeks anak balik,tungguuuu..

Parents chenta hati.Love love
(Note: See, I got my cheekbone from my mummy)


Err..you don't mind me telling everyone that you're 51(& fabulous) right? Well, who cares when you don't even look 50 eh?

Yea, most of the people I know would say that she doesn't look her age - as some would tell her she looks too young to have a daughter my age(apa? Saya 15 lah :P ), hope that I'm inheriting that particular trait so I could skip the Botox . he he - as if nak guna Botox la kan? :P

Anyway, I have to run an endless errands during the weekend(which include going to the tailor for my solemnization dress, apekah masih belum buat, tsk tsk) and a so-called bachelorette party for a friend.

Haih, it's nerve wracking when you hafta squeeze everything in merely 2 days. Masa tu lah nak kemas ape-ape yang patut, do the laundry, run big day errands, sleep in a wee bit longer, watch movie, yada yada.

Even the weekend's dates are not really a date anymore.

It is as if we're out together just because we need to work on the big day stuff together(which I'm not really complaining lah), but ya see, I don't have the luxury to go

"Saya rasa nak Ikea meatballs" anymore(yer, no more sudden craving),

as C*** would add,

"Anything else to buy/do in Ikea besides the meatballs?" sambil memberikan we-have-tonnes-of-other-better-stuff-to-do-besides-the-meatballs look.

Sob. T_T

Everything we do need to have the sambil menyelam minum air(aka kill two birds with one stone) criteria innit nowadays.

NO to pegi jauh semata-semata nak meatballs but YES to big day shopping spree + meatballs.

Haih, this is when I hope that the wedding gonna come in a jiffy so we could be our spontaneous-self again.

Well, never mind, at least I could go for another designer-bag hunt this weekend + I'll get one for hantaran. :P

So yea, have a great weekend.

Ciou.

p/s:To set the record straight, C*** would normally gives in to my sudden craves - kerana dia adelah tak larat melayan bdk merajuk(hehe) - it's just a matter of whether I'll get a murderous look along with my crave or not lah. That's something I could live with.he he

See any different? Yea, I finally succumbed to temptation and decided to have my very own big day ticker, just so ya know when I'll stop rambling like crazy and be normal again(normal? Have I ever?).

Anyway, anyone who wonders what it feels like to spend the weekend with the future PIL - well, one word, great.Perhaps I'm blessed with an easy going PIL, which I'm very thankful for.

C***'s mum was cool enough to rummage through their old photo albums just to show me her wedding photos and much to C***'s amusement and annoyance - his childhood photos. Fret not darling, you looked fine, tho adelah sedikit comel di zaman remaja. :P

On a lighter note, I can't wait to get a ticket to see Alice In Wonderland, when I mentioned it to C*** bout how I'll drag him to catch that particular movie, he was like "that movie? Yea, it's your type of movie". My type of movie? What's that supposed to mean?

Hmppp..

Perhaps he's traumatized by the Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street that I forced him to watch with me years back. It's a fun movie what? Gruesome but musical? What's not to love about that? He he. Citer pembunuh pon ade nyanyi-nyanyi,fun ape? :P

Sila tengok, it's owh so comel :P

Well darling, at least I'm just into Tim Burton's and not Hindi movies(except for Sangam lah, I love Sangam.haha).

So that's it, saya nak tengok jugak,whether he likes it or not. Love is all about tolerating each other,no? Lagipon saya dah berbulan tak tengok movie, sungguh kesian. :P

So yea, I'm off.

Ciou.

Monday is sorta slow for me - as I'm supposed to be off from work(kerana nak habiskan cuti) but decided that I wouldn't when I still got up for work this morning. heh.

So darling, jom amek cuti gi shopping sometime this week! :P - AS IF C*** would gimme a green light on that, he's a bad ass workaholic than I am. Haih.

Well, I still have tonnes of shopping to do and I'm running out of moneh at an alarming speed already, like now ya see it, then you don't. (So sila lah kasi bonus saya dengan pantasssss, please?)

Hmpp..well,nevermind, as long as I'm partially done with the big stuff, but ya see,it ain't much of a relief when you're no where near the endless list of small but agonizing stuff.

*sighs sejuta kali*

Can't believe I'm getting myself into this, well, not the 'tying the knot with C***' part, like are you crazy? I would get to hector him like 24/7,sungguh gembira - it's the endless preparation for the big day phase which drives me insane.

I got it, we want the wedding to be nice, fancy, memorable and all that, but our life ahead doesn't depends solely on those 2 days events. It's what it means that counts, kawin ala cinderella pon if tak lama buat ape right? :P

Moving on,

the weekend was a productive one, we booked a bridal boutique to work on the 2 days events in Malacca. I have a feeling it's going to be interesting as it would be different compared to usual wedding stuff that my family is used to.

& yes, we ate a lot. C***'s mum fed us good. Memang takkan ade issue tak cukup makan which explains why C*** is comel. I even ate my 1st sweet potato fritters dipped in honey.Yummoo..

Well, it's 8pm. I'm off.

Tata
