3 freaking days?

Aaaa....

Panic Panic Panic Panic Panic Panic

Panic Panic Panic Panic Panic Panic

Okay okay, enough with the panic.

What's the fuss aight? I'm just getting married. *nervous chuckles*

So yea, the weekend was an eventful one for me.

We went shopping, ate blardy loads(kerana lepas ni kena control sikit untuk maintain waistline,he he - cara diet yang tak berkesan, so jangan ikot), moved my stuff to our new place(wow, 'our' place :P) and last but not least, planned our stuff-to-do-in-between-receptions agendas, which is like an endless list. Cuti macam tak cukup jer ni, hmpppp...

Anyway, I'm going back home today.

I'm going for a quick manicure & pedicure tomorrow. I need em to buff moi nails as mine are sorta uneven, ya know I have those stripy textured nails. Pakai inai nampak ade lines so I want em to be smooth and shineh! Might go for a quick bridal spa too, tengok lah if rajin.

Well, I hope everything gonna go well for us.

So yea, gotta run, need to hand over some stuff to the colleagues,till then,

pray for me ya?

Ciou.

So yea, it's my last Friday as a miss, bujang senang trang tang tang.

How am I feeling? Good I guess, minus the occasional freaking out moments - which more often than not,would be kept to myself or the ever so helpful, Zue(note: Dia sangat garang) and beloved Mum(she never fail to cheer me up with her enthusiasm,semangat mengalahkan pengantin woh. I can't wait to balik rumah to see everything she had done). he he.

Ye lah kan,let's keep the gelabah-macam-ayam moments for those yang memahami, else mau meroyan orang keliling if they were to be exposed to the radiation of my gelabah-ness plus let's not kacau their peace of mind.

Anyway, besides the usual "are you ready?", I've been showered with the "how's the preparation?" dan soalan-soalan yang sewaktu dengannya. I know they meant well(or trying to act like one) tapi sometimes it just ticked me off.

Someone annoying :"How's the preparation?"
Me: "Okie I guess."
Someone annoying :"Owh.."
Me: "......."

Like honestly, just drop it. Please don't bother to tunjuk concern last-last minute, I wouldn't know what to tell you either. If you weren't bothered months before, you don't have to be now. Thankyouverymuch.

Please don't get me wrong, I love well-wishers but some of them are just, bleh. Kalau tanya setakat nak amek syarat, tak payah la yer. No such thing as, aku bukan nak tau sangat tapi ape salahnya buat-buat tanya for me. It's either you really care, or you don't. Period.(Yea, memang tgh PMS pon,tu pasal tiba-tiba emo.ha ha. I digress.)

Enough of pesky annoying things.

Let's ramble about the wedding(again).

Mum called and she's being excited about the hantaran as the decorator just delivered em home yesterday. Mum said she would MMS me the pictures but the again,she doesn't know how to, so kena tunggu adek balik. T_T Owh ibu, takpe lah, nanti balik chek tengok nooo. he he.

My lovely tudung gonna be done by Sunday, went for the 1st fitting last night and rasanya ok lah - tho some of moi friends did warn me about the whole awning thing, "kalau kedepan sangat, nanti masa nak kiss dahi lepas nikah tak sampai,tercium tudung" Owh well,tak sampai kat dahi,pipi kan ada?(Ape guna pipi macam donut kalau tak digunakan? ceh) :P

I need to think of how to DIY my ring holder. Hmpp..am planning to make a small satin pillow to tie the ring onto. Tengok lah macam mana(read:Kalau rajin baru buat).

I'm yet to send my veil for dry cleaning.

I'm not going to have the henna drawing whatsoever. A normal henna on the nails and finger tips will do.

I'm yet to break in my wedding shoes. Takpe, once I'm back ade lagi 3 hari,sempat kot? he he. Please God, saya tamau blisters.

The number of guests for the solemnization has been increased = hafta order more nikah doorgift. Haih. The same goes to the reception, mum hafta bag 300 more.

Saya nak pegi berdating dengan C*** dihujung minggu sambil bershopping (okay,ini bukan wedding update).

Saya nak balik, so yea, have a great weekend.

I'll be enjoying mine(my last weekend as bujang senang trang tang tang jugak,woh!)

Tata.

This gonna be rather corny but I'm writing about it anyway. Well, I've come to think that C*** & me have this telepathic thing going on between us. he he.

I was like

"Saya nak tanya lah...."

& he spontaneously replied

"you should go ahead and tanya owner tu car park dah boleh pakai ke tak, nanti cuti boleh parking dalam"

It was like an "eh??" moment for me, like how come he knew what I was thinking as I'm yet to mention about the parking (kerana saya adelah seorang yang random, I could be talking about food one minute and about shoes the next) and I was not whining about it earlier either .

Sedikit creepy disitu but I would like to think that's when the our chemistry kicked in.

Chemistry la sangat kan? But ya, I'd like to think of it that way, as it's not the first time and he has been good in finishing my sentences and unspoken thoughts all this while.

So yea,

if sometime later saya cakap "Darling, saya nak..."

Would he say

"Takpe-takpe, esok kita pegi beli keta baru"

Hehe. Wishful thinking.

Owh 9 days more to go & I'm freaking out.

So let's be random for a bit.

I'm yet to see the both of my tudung, but I hope both of em gonna be fine. Sila lah kelihatan cantik (especially on me), thankyouverymuch.

Our 'house' sudah siap. The agent called to inform that they're done with the paint job and I'm hoping that the house gonna turn out to be all calming and neat - not as blinding as it was previously. Forgot to ask about the washing basin & toilet seat, tapi sepatutnya it has been replaced too. Well, the owner gonna hand over the keys sometime this weekend, so we'll see. :)

We're going for our last minute hantaran hunting this weekend. Ya, we actually missed out on some stuff.Haih. Well, it's not really hantaran hantaran lah, it's more like those petty but somehow needed stuff like those fancy frames for the cheque and perhaps a nice wooden box for C*** to dump the mas kahwin into. he he. Tak payah lah lipat-lipat jadi bunga segala, menyusahkan saya nak unfold je nanti & and I don't like wrinkly moneh. :P

I hope we could do some window shopping on the furniture as well. I'm lemming for a nice all white bedroom set, a simple sofa with a matching dining table, shoe cabinet, wooden blinds and some stuff for the kitchen.

As for the electrical stuff, we'd stick with the basic. A flat screen tv, a fridge( make em big please darling, I'd like a big fridge.he he), washing machine and an oven(ya, just so ya know I like baking). We could skip the stove as the house's already equipped with a built-in stove and hood.

As for the curtains and whatnot, we'll make do with those provided by the owner for a while before we could

a) Balik rumah and mintak a nice set of curtains from my mum or his mum. he he.
b) Ada duit terlebih so we could have our own custom-made curtains- yang harus lah dark-colored with a matching day curtains and floor length.

Yea, I do have a clear vision on how the house gonna be, I just hope we'd have the right amount of money to materialize it.

Well, the rezeki would come. InsyaAllah.

On a lighter note, people has been asking where we gonna go for the honeymoon, like seriously, we never really thought of it, yet. :P

It's true that we'll be off from work for almost 3 weeks and whatnot, but we have tonnes of stuff to work on, namely the house. Ya bukan macam some fortunate people yang would live in with the parents, lenggang bawak bag je (on 2nd thought, I won't consider living with the parents or in-laws itu fortunate as I like having my own place, no offense) or dah ade a fully furnished house beforehand.

So besides the house, we hafta squeeze in an outdoor photo shoot and the melawat sanak sedara thingy too. Hmpp..so as far as the honeymoon is concerns, we'll see how la eh?

Have a great week, gotta run.

Ciou.

Let's talk about money.

I like em money. Don't you? Tho I wouldn't categorized myself as one of those people who would work their ass off 24/7 in pursuit of money.

I do like em money but there's no use of having those money without the luxury of spending em or having someone to spend the money with(tho finding someone to spend em with is easy peasy).

Well, I'm already half way through my 2 years saving, all thanks to the big day.(Yes, saya baru 2 years jadi penabung yang tegar kerana saya boros, thankyouverymuch.) The figures are decreasing at alarming speed and I could foresee that there are tonnes of plans that would be sacrificed to the marriage-is-expensive God later.

Namely my gigantic hope of getting myself a new ride.

Yea, as cheapskate as I am, I'm lemming for a new ride and it's not because the one that I have is waiting to go kaput - tho I believe it would by the physical look of it( it looks nasty with a mismatch bumper and a missing washer). I couldn't recall when's the last time I took the car for a wash.

Thanks to the facts

o1. The car has been illegally park outside the condo, by the roadside(& sometimes bawah pokok, which membuatkan kereta saya nampak mcm baru mandi bunga) for the past 1 month ++ which helped to nurture my malas-ness sebab kereta memang akan cepat kotor walaupon dah basuh.

02. I've been driving the car for the past 1 month ++ with an ironing board, a small table and a folding chair at the back. It feels like driving a lorry for Co*rt Mammoth & last week C*** just added a box of gearbox(hey it rhymes!) into the inventory(since we drove his car up North last weekend so we hafta free up some space for the glass jars) which goes kung kang kung kang when the road is bumpy. *cough Darling biler nak amek balik gearbox ni? cough*

o3. I've been blessed with each-time-I-wash-the-car-it-rains luck. Period.

So yea, regardless the parking, the mandi bunga or the the luck. I'm determined to take it for a wash this weekend and perhaps drop by by at the car accessories centre to look for the replacement washer and whatnot. Berusahalah!


Haih, kenapa la saya selalu lari topic ni?

Moving on,

I went for the 2nd appointment with the tudung-maker last nite.

The supposedly brief meet up dragged on for 2 hours. Like yea, 30 minutes discussion on the tudung and the rest adelah borak kerana saya friendly. :P

However, we both agreed that the tudung gonna be simple(yea, less is more.he he), and this time it's not because I'm a cheapskate and not wanting to fork out 200 bucks for a blardy tudung - sebenarnye memang tamau sebab I would rather spend that money on a pair of nice shoes, but also out of fear that I'll look like a xmas tree if there's too much beading involved.

So yea, she gonna spend these few days looking for the matching fabric and beads (as I borrowed her my veil). We'll meet again next week for the 1st tryout to ensure that it would fit my sebulat purnama face nicely. he he.

Honestly, this is one of the reasons why I opted for a customized tudung. The ready-made fancy tudung(eg: the brand that's being popularize by the wife of Raja sms) won't fit me nicely and even if it does it would make me look like a indo bibik and I don't really fancy the fabric.

Wedding rules 101, you wouldn't want to look like a bibik on your big day. No?

Gosh, 14 days more to go.

*panic panic*

Owh, I'm missing C***. he he. Psstt pstt..darling,bila mau balik? Udah udah ler tu dok pegi keje utara selatan segala, balik cepat will ya?

Gotta run.

Ciou.

A former schoolmate (which I could hardly recalled) , upon seeing my pic on FB commented

"Comelnye madihah ni,..time sek,.macam garang je.."

Apparently I am *cough cough* cuter when I'm older. ha ha.

Mind you, the commenter is a she.

Well, it's funny, really - as it's not the first time people thought that I'm the comel garang type and all that.

I hafta admit that my look plus the usual gravely expression plastered on my face would emit the garang aura tho I'm not, yer lah if I smile 24/7, people would think that I'm a nutjob.

I'm usually garang(& snobbish) when I'm blardy annoyed(especially dengan manusia-manusia bongok tak reti bahasa) or hurt over something as it's more of a way for me to mask the vulnerable feelings.

It's like, I'm hurt over something + act angry = people would steer clear from me.

No? Well, it works for me every time. :P

Owh, a lil update on the big day preps.

Well, we already paid the earnest deposit(aka booking fees) to the agent for the house that we would call home for the next one year. Yeah, it's a one year contract and I hope we would've saved enough money to buy our own house by then(or earlier). he he.

We didn't get to rent the studio unit so we proceed with the one with 3 rooms and 2 baths instead(more rooms for our messiness yey!) hence the amazing amount of deposits that we hafta pay later, almost sebulan gaji owh. There goes the extra money yang konon-konon nak pergi berjalan. he he.

Talking about the house, it's decent but the paint job is not. Imagine living in a place with yellow and orange colored walls in the living hall and equally colorful rooms. he he.

I was almost blinded by the sight of it, I'm sorta amazed to think of how someone could lived in such brightly colored house. Sungguh tak menenangkan jiwa but the owner would repaint everything and replace the wash basin & the toilet seats. he he.

Yellowish toilet seat = euuwwwwww .

Everything gonna be ready in 2 weeks time and I hope it gonna be good, as expected. Kot tak saya rage seperti naga.

On a lighter note, the reception's dress is a perfect fit(baru saya puas hati sebab takot-takot baju tu baju recyle tapi claimed baju baru) . C*** agreed that it's new due the fact that it looked so me(I have a weird body proportion,ehem) and it's not too lengthy compared to those ready-made dresses, he even gave me his evil grins as if a way of saying

short dress = short bride = me.

Yea yea, I geddit. I'm short and comel. :P

I specifically requested for an off-white dress with peach pink beading but I think it's just white white, not off-white. Owh well, perhaps it's just me, never mind, nobody would notice.

Hmpp..I don't know bout the rest of B2B but I'm starting to have this weird feeling in my guts and hearing voices screaming blardy murder somewhere at the back of my mind.

*panic panic*

Ya Allah,permudakanlah semua pekara.

Wish me luck aight?

Have a great week.

Ciou.

I'm in the midst of packing(hari ni balik awal yo!) when I have this nagging feeling at the back of my mind insisting me to ramble a bit. he he.

So yea,

We are heading up North tomorrow(home sweet home!) and we gonna head straight to the bridal boutique for our, gulp..err..1st fitting. Yea, 21 days more to go baru terhegeh2 mau fitting,sungguh unbelievable. Well, blame it to the distance(sebenarnye nak blame orang lain but let's not go there).

I hafta say I'm looking forward to tomorrow as C***'s one fun partner in crime to travel with - as I'll get to pester him to stop at my favourite R&R(s) for kueh pau & Baskin Robin. :P Yea, I'm a sucker for kueh pau(if you haven't notice), in fact both of us are. I'm more of a kaya person whilst C***'d prefer red beans.

I digress. Tetiba cerita pasal kueh pau apsal tah.

Owh, actually saya lapar.

Moving on,

I have a prototype which due on Monday(tsk tsk), so it goes without saying that I hafta work on em this weekend. Yeah, juggling between work & wedding preparations are simply awesome, sooo blardy awesome that I hope that I don't have to go through it again, ever again.

On a lighter note, Mum called saying that a bunch of Dad's staff gonna come over to our place tomorrow to help. Well ya, it's so very nice of you maciks, but are you really here to help???

I know I'm being too skeptical but ya know, it's not the 1st time I bumped into these uninvited helpers(tho it's not like you hafta wait for someone to invite you to help them with something) but ya know, these kinda of people usually comes with underlying motives.

Recently at a friend's place, the same kind of helpers were there & all I could hear from em was an endless list of comments.

"Dia punya pelamin kecikkkk kenapa tak besar sket macam...."

I'm like so? What's wrong with dat? Kena besaq macam palace baru cukup izzit?

"Khemah dia chantik tapii...yada yada..bla..bla"

See? Typical introduction of mengumpat, kena puji dulu then kindly put a tapi and proceed with the kejian. So people won't perceive it as kutukan but teguran membina instead.

Sheeeshh.

Dah lah,I have a bag to pack & tonnes of stuff to bring back to SP.

Again, have a great weekend.

Ciou.

I'm a bearer of good news, for myself that is. he he.

Well, the reception dress is readdy - well, almost since the beading is still in progress but I'm fine with that as I'm planning to request for more pearls. I like em pearls. They are soo pweety. *_*

So yea, I might drag C*** up North this weekend for the fitting session tho I'm sorta unsure on where he gonna stay as I've called like 5 hotels and all of em are fully booked & tho some of em are not, they have nothing but the penthouse and presidential suites. Not the kind of rooms for a cheapskate and I was this close *holding 2 fingers closely together* to google for any hotel cap ayam. he he. Sanggup tak sanggup jer la kan?

Like seriously people, what on earth are you doing in my hometown at the 1st place? Bukan ade A Famosa ke ape pon. Ke semua beramai2 nak pegi tengok candi ke ape hah? Haih.

Owh owh, I've mailed the 1st batch of the invitation cards, the 2nd batch is on the way.

On a lighter note, I've managed to hunt for the extra glass jars(sampai ke kilang okeh?) during lunch. I was so gigih that I dragged one of my colleagues along during the hunt. Terima kasih daun keladi for the company as I wouldn't have the guts to venture into the unknown(aka the industrial zone in Kinrara) alone. Yea, talking about what you'll do for ya own wedding,plenty.

Honestly, I'm a fan of "less is more"(read: She lied, dia adelah cheapskate tapi nak best), tapi sekarang ape yang less pon saya tatau, all there is now adelah more this, more that. The thought alone makes my head spins, but fret not, approximately 3 weeks more to go and we'll be fine, happy together-together ever after. I hope.

Well, forgive the endless big day ramblings as that's all I could think of - most of the time. I know it's boring but ranting about works won't be much fun either. Apelah yang best to rant about when it comes to java programming? I code, I compile, I conquer? he he. Tu pasal saya selalu rant pasal my users, they are more interesting - especially on how great they are on testing my patience(instead of the UAT). Aren't they the best? *cough cough*

So yea, have a great weekend.

Ciou.
