after 3 months
It's been 3months since we last met.since then, we only talk on the phone, SMS, MMS and sometimes email. all our wedding preparation communications were made via those channels.It's hard, but that is how a long distance relationship works.But, nevertheless we tried to make that as our least problem. We have all the technologies in our hands, might as well use them! Good thing, he came down here to spend with me for the weekend. Yipppeeeee!
Since he's here, we spent our time to shop some wedding stuffs, especially the hantarans. Mine, was almost complete, so we focus the things for him and not to forget our rings! After visiting many shops in Gurney Plaza, he got his (yay!) and I got mine, well, almost(half yay!). For 'school-girl' finger like mine (as said by the sales assisstant), my ring has to be resized. So, it will take another couple of weeks before I can have it (plus a few complications). Oh, did I mention how I love my soon-to-be ring? hehe. It's nothing fancy, it's just a simple ring but I love the fact that I chose it with him. That's all matters :)
Wedding stuffs aside, he needed a book in MPH,
but all I did was bugging him to take picture with me. Hehehe...
After spending a day and half in the mall, we needed some fresh air, so off we went to Bukit Bendera. My mom wanted to come here since last year, but it was closed for renovation. Now it has opened, and I should take my mom here too. The place is lovely, but we went there in the afternoon so the weather was really hot. The parking was a bit difficult, we managed to find a parking spot but quiet faraway and we have to walk with the sun straight on our heads. Hot! Hot! Since it was weekend, they are many, many people there but we did not have to wait too long to get into the cable car. So, it was not that bad. Oh, don't forget to bring your ICs and your student card if you are here because they charged differently for foreigners.
We snapped a few pictures, but since we're using just a normal camera, the pictures were not too pretty. However, I will post them here still.
The ticket.
The transit to the cable car. With air-cond here, niceee
People rushing into the cable car.
View on the way up
Yay, we're up here already
See that signboard?
I wanted to take picture with it, but there were many people taking pictures there. So, I have to wait with 'faster-I-need-to-take-pic-with-it-too' face. When finally it was my turn, I was happily posing there, ready for my picture to be taken but my photographer was out of sight. Huh? Seriously?
Missing in action because he was busy taking picture of this....
And when I asked why, he replied, 'This was then the Sultan of Kelantan.' =_=
Ayoo semangat kenegerian sungguh la fiance ku ini huhu
And then, finally!:)
The stalls at Bukit Bendera.
Great for a very hot day like this.
Us hehe
:))
Okey that's all for now, wait for my another post (might be 2months from now haha!).

the missing pieces
to all brides to be, what is the first thing cross your mind, when word WEDDING is uttered?
i'm sure, each and everyone will have their own thoughts and opinions and imagination about wedding.
for me, the first thing that came to my mind is...
family and friends,
and a pleasant feeling of happiness.
just two. only two.
those two, combined, will somehow give a feeling, as i would like to describe as having a mug of hot chocolate and very comfortable,cozy blanket in a very cold and nasty winter night.that is a pure content feeling. that is something that make you feel complete, like nothing else matters.
maybe my annotation might be simple, but that is how simple is my first thought of a wedding.
i don't mind whether my wedding is big, or whether my wedding will be an extravaganza event. i just hope that it will run smoothly, and everyone is happy.my family.and.my friends.
with that, of course, i want them to be there, on the happiest day of my life.
but I know that everything that we want, not all we can have. I know that, I know that, I keep reminding myself of that. One thing I know is that my sister cannot be there, during my big day *huuuuuu* I also know that it due to a good cause. When she mentioned that she cannot make it (she's in UK btw), I had this heavy feeling in my heart and my eyes suddenly filled with tears. It's not that I am angry nor I am sad. I just feel that something will be/is missing. My eldest sister is my inspiration, one of the cores of my big day. It will be weird if I do not have the feeling that I was feeling that time.
I even once had this weird dream, I just woke up from sleep, I went downstairs and heard lots of noise. Someone is yapping instructing something to other people at back room downstairs. That kind of sound seriously sounded like my bossy sister (in a good way of course heh), but in my mind was 'Hey, she is not in Malaysia, that can't be her!' But when I reached the room, there she was, like she always is, cleaning up the house while making noise (haha). Seeing her there, made me surprised. Then, I woke up from the dream. Haishh. *Sad*
I am sorry to have that kind bitter feeling, when I know, I truly know that it's due to a good cause. It's a PhD, for godsake! Who can just abandon it just like that, especially when you're in the mid of the research. I know my sister wouldn't! She is not that type. Although she will not be here, I really glad she helped a lot since the beginning of the preparation, and during the engagement event until now. That was done thru thanks to today's technology, the phone and the internet! Anything is possible! Thanks so so much sister!
After I can take in the news, I am happy. Although that my sister is far across the world, she still managed to comment my tudung didn't match with my top haha! What I'm really saying is, the most important of all, somehow she is still near to us, at heart :)
This is one weird long post about feelings and wedding. Big sis, if you're reading this, no pressure please! This is a post just to let you know that you are appreciated even you are far away. No need to book any ticket, coz I'm not paying anything, your sister here is br*ke! hahaha. Coz like I said before and I am saying now, I understand, we understand :). We love you sis! Take care!
xoxo

tipah tertipu....ke!?!
An update on the wedding preparation progress.
We think (my mother and i) that we have been tricked/conned/fooled by the person who promised to do some wedding printing jobs.
haiyo2....
Let's named him Mr. H. He is his early 30's and doing advertising business. Apart from that, he is also doing business in making wedding cards, printing for small cards, buntings and printing for door gifts. He claimed he has been in the business for more than 5 years already (so much for the experience huh?). When we were discussing, he talked alot about his business and who had hired his company including the royal family (need a bold there) and bla..bla..bla. I guess that time, we were bought by his appealing stories. Without much hesitation, we made up our mind to make a business deal with this guy.
So, he promised us he will do our thank you cards and buntings. He had completed the design for the cards and my mom had approved the design. Then he promised he will complete the printing by last week and my mom should come and collect them. Btw, he promised to email me the design but I didn't receive any. But, nevermind, as long as my mom already approved it, so should be ok (although I think that is unprofessional, gave promises but never delivered them hurmmph!). Good thing is, my mom still haven't paid anything to him. Alhamdulillah. He didn't ask for any. So yeah, we have not been conned with money, but with promises.
Back to the story, when the time came to collect the item, my mom tried to call him but he didn't pick up his phone. Even the office's phone had no answer. My mom and I tried so many days to call him but still didn't get any feedback. My mom was furious and went to his office but it was closed, with padlock and everything. Sigh. Have we been sweet talked by this person?
Until today, there is still no answer from this guy. Lucky, lucky, there is no money involved yet. But of course, we are frustrated. Obviously, we want everything that we have planned to run as smoothly as possible. This, however will delay our other plans. Now, we have to find another vendor and start all over again dealing for these items. My mom will be busy with this. She's the backbone of this whole preparation, I truly really appreciate it! I LOVE U MAMA!!
I pray hard everything else will turn out well. Insya Allah.
Pray for us yeah :)
