Weather Forecast

Do you know why I even bother reading the weather forecast? It's because I need to know whether there is a need to laminate the road signages or not. And the weather forecast reads :

Friday, 17 July afternoon - rain shower
Saturday, 18 July morning, afternoon and night - rain shower

Argghhh~~ terpaksa lah pergi laminate esok!

Engagement Photo

The initial plan was to drop by the photographer office, together with my fiance, once he is back from Korea. But gifted that the photograpers were so efficient, they mailed us the raw files in a CD. There are thousands of them!

What we need to do next is to choose 60 favourite photos for the Engagement Album. It ain't easy I tell you because all of the photos spoke for itself. They are nicely captured and beautiful :)
The one that I am sharing with you are resized files. Once we've finalized the 60 photos, they will proceed with the editing work and for our approval before they produce the Engagement Album.
We are satisfied with their work and we've already agreed to hire them as the official photographer for our wedding. InsyaAllah :)

Such An Admiration

He is back.

And the much awaited time is the gift exchange time. It would be our habit to buy gifts for each other when ever we go and I am more excited on this one than he is (I think).
I was at one of the gifts store and I saw this - woodchuck wooden puzzle. I straightaway bought it because I know he would love it. He dearly so into these kind of things - rubik cube, soduku and all that jazz.
On the other hand, he got me bags of stuffs (thanks dear) and most of them are pink in colour. I love to the fact that he establishes my liking to pink.
On the way back from the airport, we had dinner. He didn't order for food, well fed in the plane he said, with the fact that he will need to finish my meal too, like always.
And we only took off once he was done with his woodchuck wooden puzzle.

I Am Engaged!

It is official
-25 October 2008-

Wow. That easy huh. A weird feeling at first. But am trying to adapt with it slowly.Anyway, I would like to thank a bunch to those who made it to my Hari Raya Open House and Engagement Party. It meant a lot to me you know :) Thanks to Sasa and Arita, the first couple to arrive, followed by Pejat, and they stayed until the event ended! Thanks to Baby, Ezzaini, Izzu, Daia, Arieca + friend. To my colleague from office, Pakwan, Aida, Sue and bf and to my YSL girlfriends, Hazzy, Najib, Intan, Arin, Tini, Dila, Hani + Hairul, Madia + Izmel. My cousins - Nem, Uji, Irin, Peejat. Thanks to Mama, Ayah, my aunties and uncles for praying for me. To those who unable to make it, thanks for the wishes too. Love you all :D:D

Syukur alhamdulillah, the event went well. It was a memorable event and I am going to treasure every bit of it. Few weeks back, I've been working hard, juggling between work and preparation for the event. Mum and Dad leave it all to us. We were the planner for our own engagement. And we did it well :)

The pelamin was beautiful, the baju was lovely, the cakes, did I tell you the cake was the most beautiful cake I've ever seen! It was another magnificant idea from ratukek, my YSL friend who happens to own a cake cafe. It's only a simple vanilla butter cake but it was decorated with fresh white and pink roses, white ribbons and butterfly and pink dots :) And ratukek sponsored a box of mini cupcakes for hantaran. Thanks dear :)

I love the bunga sireh. The bunga sireh was bunch of pink roses decorated in a wooden box. The roses were the same roses used for my hand bouquet too. The photographers were very friendly, even though that was there first time I met them. They even made friends with some of my friends haha.

Putting on the baju and tudung, I had all this in my mind "Have someone taken care of the door gifts?" "What happen to the aromatherapy, I so hope that the Teddy Dream's oil is still burning" "Pakwan? ohh kesiannye Pakwan duduk bawah sorang sorang, tade orang nak teman die"

I was so worried all those that there weren't bit concern on my mind of getting engaged. I waited patiently and joked with my girlfriends while waiting for the negotiation to end. It was the time when Arin says "Zal, please get ready. They are almost done" when my heart suddenly beats so fast and I had a nervous breakdown. I think I had one.

I took a deep breath. I can do this, that's what I told myself. And the rest was history.

A day after the engagement, my fiance called. He wanted to pulangkan the alas dulang.

Why so rush, I asked myself. But I answered "OK" to him.
He took me to the mall and we break for tea at one of the restaurant. I was keeping quite most of the time. I cant explain how I feel that time but I feel weird. And that was our first date after the engagement.
The next day, he was already thousand miles away. As for me, I packed and get myself ready for the workshop and presentation in LGK.

And I am missing him already.

Engagement Gifts

My engagement gifts from my favourite cousin, Kak Uji. Thanks Kak Uji :)
She knows how I lurve to read so she gave me those (see picture below). Two books on Cinta Sayang and Membentuk Istana Bahagia. It came with a card, a ribbons and Teddy Bear box. So sweet kan. Thanks once again Kak Uji. I love you so much :)

And while waiting for my flight the other day, got this "I Love Pink, Red and Fuschia" scarf at Tie Rack for Kak Uji. She saw me wearing the scarf and fell in love on it at first sight. I called her from the airport, told her the scarf will soon be officially hers. Happy she was, in return she gave me a teddy hug in Facebook :)
