Abg's here

My bro's here!!! hehe. He arrived yesterday. But have been sleeping really early these two nights. Still on Malaysian time, it seems. Brought him around London but it was unusually windy today. Apparently London is currently being hit by storm wave or something. Well, hope the weather gets better soon or Abg will only see the ugly side of London's weather here.

Bristol & Bath trip

Last Friday, I went to Bristol right after lecture with Aida, Yat, Lion & DRog. We arrived in Bristol around 7pm and were greeted by one of Anis's housemates. She showed us to Anis's room where we settled down while waiting for Anis to come back from the hospital she was working at. When we entered, we were really amazed by the decoration in the room. The walls were full of nicely chosen postcards and posters. Anis even prepared juice and mugs for us as well as a box of donuts. How very sweet of her... When she came back that night, we had ayam masak merah for dinner, which she had prepared earlier. Delicious ;) After dinner, we were considering what to do... Ice-skating or movie... Since we believed the ice-skating ring's full (it's Friday night and there was a long queue outside the place), we decided to catch a movie instead. Hence, we took a cab to Showcase Cinema to watch... The Prestige! It was a real grand movie, story line requires deep thinking and definitely recommended to all. ;) After movie, we were all very tired and straight away went to sleep in our cozy sleeping bags.
We woke up considerably early the next day since we want to maximize our time in Bath. Before we boarded the bus, we had the opportunity to take some pictures in Bristol. There was this one fountain, which was full of bubbles. I was so excited taking pictures and playing with it, it made me feel rather childish but what the heck. I was there to have fun! Our bus ride to Bath didn't take that long but I managed to fall asleep 3 times before we reached there. Blame the lack of sleep since I need a minimum of 8 hours each day =p hehe. Being typical tourists, with Anis as our tourist guide, we went around Bath and took pictures along the way. The Bridge, the river, the Cresent something (sorry Anis, I can't remember the exact name), bought some wooden roses in town and then, we started to get hungry. Tracing our way back, we went to a small shop we found earlier, The Roman Cafe. All of us except Drog ordered a small set of fish and chips. Thinking small won't be enough, some of us ordered a side order. But when the food arrives, the small portion was really big that even I can't finish my food. However, the food was really good and so was the service. Do check that cafe out whenever you are in Bath.

After lunch, Anis, Drog and Lion went back to Bristol. Aida, Yat & I went to the Roman Bath. We had a good look around and ended our tour with a free drink of Spa water. The smell of that water was disgusting but it didn't taste that bad. Rushing for time, we prayed in a fitting room at one of those shops in town. Aida and I bought a pair toe socks and gloves each. Cute! hehe. After that, I shared with Yat a caramel apple. My God! The place is a chocolate heaven for chocolate addicts like me. The apple was really2 gooddd... hehe. There was nothing spectacular about our ride back to Bristol. However, we missed our stop and the bus's next stop would be the bus station. Hence, the 3 of us got "lost" finding our way back to Anis's place. haha. Not quite actually. Anis gave Aida direction back to her place and we arrived in no time. ;) We had Mi Goreng for dinner and played cards before we retired for the night.

The last morning there, we went for a tour around Bristol. On the way, we met Pimad who was waiting for his bus to go paintballing. Cool stuff. Anis showed us her uni, took us to the suspension bridge, a museum (because Lion needed to go to toilet actually. haha) and the tower where we can see the whole town from up there. Apparently, there have been a number of cases where ppl committed suicide at this bridge so there was this signboard with a number to call in case anyone needed someone to talk to. I agree that it is a good effort to help the troubled but I do find it very amusing. Check out the signboard in the picture. haha. On the way back from the tower, we met this lady with a big fluffy dog. Unfortunately, the dog came near to where we were so all of us were really scared. When the lady saw us, she tried to tell us the dog was harmless. I replied, "we know... but we are just scared". She was so shocked upon hearing the news and asked back. "All of you???" "Yup, all of us..." I replied. Then she said..."Why? It is just irrational" Well, we know but we are just scared. Byeee!!!. Haha. That was really funny. I mean, seriously. I know the dog won't harm me but I can't help feeling scared. I don't know where that came from actually. I've never been bitten or chased by a dog before (Thank God) but I am really2 scared of dogs. heh. After the trip, we went back to Anis place, took our things and boarded our bus back to London at 12. It was a real fun trip. Thanx to our host Anis, who was really accommodating during the whole trip. We had a wonderful time. =)

Manchester Trip

Aida & I went to Manchester... in the middle of the week!!! I don't wanna say why. No particular reason. If you know, then good, keep quite. It is no big deal. If you don't, I said, No big deal. Anyway, I LoVe the city... did I say CITY??? Yes, it is a city. Despite the unfriendly weather, I love the atmosphere. There were big shopping stores... Really2 big and they have more scattered around the town. I didn't get the opportunity to window shopping around, which was a pity but I did have a good look though. I would love to go there again. Probably next time, I'll take my time and go into each and every single store just to enjoy the feeling of window shopping in a big place... just like in KL. hehe. Hmm, I sound like I miss KL... and I really do. I like a place that reminds me of home. KL is my home and I'm going back this winter. Yeayyy. ~ We stayed there for a night... at a friend's house, Mimi, who was a really good hostess. Thanx a lot, dear. Hope we did not bother her so much. If not, next time she probably doesn't want to be our tour guide anymore. hehe. Well, there's not much to tell when we were only there for a short while. I was a bit jakun when I see the tram. Not that I've never seen one before but there is no tram in London. They also have the wheel of Manchester, which is very much like the London Eye but this one goes around faster and is only available in winter. They take it down in Summer. I wonder why. Then, there's the Christmas market, where they sell lots of stuff including hot chocolate and brandy. What a combination... Even if I could, I don't dare try it. And for record breaking category, this is the first time I had a ride in a car since I've been here in the UK excluding the trips to and fro airports, that is. haha. All in all, I had a great time exploring. One down here... More to go :)

Justin Timberlake - My Love

I Loveeeee this video clip. I never liked Justin before. I didn't hate him. In fact, I Love N'Sync but I never fancied Justin. But I DO LOVE3e this video clip... and this song ;) Great job director, choreographer, dancers and of course, Nice one Justin.

68 Beechfield Road Movie Night

When Aida & I went to a PwC application skill session a couple of weeks ago, the speaker kept on saying something like "Thanx for coming, I know it is Friday night. You must have a lot of plans" or "I don't want to keep you any longer. It is Friday night. You must have some more interesting things to do than listening to this talk". Aida & I were like "Yeah, right. What do we always do on Friday night? Stayed in and hmm, that's all. Probably catching up with some work." (Usually that won't be me. I don't work that much. I probably just did nothing. hehe) On the way back, we were talking and thinking about it... and later decided (along with Dina)... that on the coming Friday nights, we would have a movie night in... no work and it's compulsory for everyone. Hehe.
The first movie was Step Up... It was real great fun. All 4 of us sat on the couch, under Aida's bulky duvet, while eating chocolates, watching the very inspiring movie. Inspiring? Yes... coz after that movie, I kept on bugging them to do a choreographed dance for 68 Beechfield Road. Shasa dear. Can you be our choreographer? haha.
Last weekend, we had our second night in. This time, there were 5 of us... Azmir was around. The chosen movie was 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Gosh. When Yat recommended the story to me months ago, (or was it yearsss ago?) I thought it was a light comedy movie. That is one heavy movie but nevertheless, it is very romantic. Recommended to everyone... one of the movies where you could watch Jim Carrey's serious face. So there you go... who say we are pathetic? We are not... We are fun. Go girls!!! ;)

Homework, Research, Application

I'm just soooo pening with all this work application thingy. And what's worse, I feel like I'm going no where with it. And I'm scared to go through the process. All the adrenalin rush could make me sick. No time for a long entry. Just wanna dedicate this song to Hazmi. Yes, I really feel like I'm running, in this rat race that is. Please keep holding my hand :) and Don't stop inspiring me... The whole song la. You know what I mean when I dedicate a song to u right? ;) Love u, sweetheart. Muahss!

Four quick tips for a happier life

If you live by just a few simple guidelines, you can seriously change your outlook on life -
AND the way that people perceive you as well!

Don't ever take anything personally...
When you are happy with who you are it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks anyway!

Don't worry. Worrying never solves anything!
Whether you have control over something or not, you shouldn't waste your time or efforts on unnecessary stress.

Always do the absolute best you can do - and always tell the truth!
The more effort you put forth, the more you learn and the less regrets you'll have.

Don't expect too much.
Don't even expect to receive as much as you give, it only opens the door for disappointment.
Be happy with what you do for others and be pleasantly surprised if they do the same (or more) for you!

Enjoy your life! ~

New Baju Raya

This is the new baju raya Hazmi bought for me (including the tudung). =D He wanted it to be a surprise. But he couldn't contain the excitement when I kept going on and on about baju raya. hehe. Received it from Daud last Sunday when I met him in front of the London Eye, along with a container of jam tarts from mummy. YEAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really excited I got this new baju raya. It is very beautiful, it has little diamonds at the neck line and at the hands. Mimi even commented hazmi has a good taste for a guy :) (Does that include me? =P) haha. THANX A LOT, hubby love. Love u lots and lots and lots. Muahs!!!

Abby - For accompanying hubby buying this baju raya
Daud - For bringing it all the way from Malaysia to London
Mimi - For taking this picture. hehe.

Stop me from buying more stuff!

1 in 3 adults in the UK suffer from an addiction - most commonly alcohol, nicotine, food or shopping.

I found this on an untrusted site... so I don't know how true the statistic is. But... if it has the slightest truth to it, then I am one of them now = ( I consider myself an adult in the UK because I didn't have this problem in Malaysia before. Got it here. It just started. I don't know what has gotten into me lately but my expenses for these past few weeks are beyond control. The good news is, I haven't bought any junk stuff yet like I used to. Before this, I wasn't that attracted to shopping. In fact, I kinda hated it. But I used to buy really cheap stuff that I didn't need, just to get the feel of getting a good bargain. Then, I didn't even use it. These days, I went shopping for things I really need. Lets see. Shoes... a pair of silver ones to wear with baju raya and a pair of black shoes for formal events. Knit wear clothing... I bought 3 tops, a lot, it seems but I don't have that much clothes to wear for winter. 2 shirts and one pants. Again, formal wear, which I could still be using next year to office. What else? Phone for mummy, put that aside. That does not go into my expenses list. Another long-sleeves shirt... erm, I could use another extra shirt, right? And that's all, I guess. Ok. Those are the things I need.

Yesterday, I went to Meredian Greenwich with Dina, Azz, Lion, Nun and Azwa. And I bought a pack of constellation knowledge cards. After opening and going through the deck of cards, I feel that that alone was inadequate so I bought a stargazer globe as well. Then, for souvenier, I got myself a shot glass. Those are things I don't really need but I want.

Now I'm contemplating to buy a black Esprit bag. Aida has a brown one. It is only 9 pounds. Should I or should I not? I wouldn't say I really need the bag but I could use one coz right now. I only have bagpacks, a sling bag for casual wear and handbags. I need a bag that can fit in an A4 size testpad and more stuff, suitable for formal occasion and easy to match (black is easy to match) with everything. Or should I just buy it from Malaysia since I'm going back in winter anyway? But I don't think I'll go bag hunting in Malaysia. I'll be too busy running around doing only God knows what. (yeah... what have I been doing in Malaysia??? I remember being busy but don't remember why) haha.

Urgh, I should cut down my expenses immediately. Actually is it not THAT much but for someone who is depending on scholarship money alone, that's just not practical. ~ Owh, hey. I was teething the last couple of weeks and now that wisdom tooth is definitely out. Yeay, I am so proud of it... haha... worth the pain. =p wth?

Especially for my syg =)

Dearest Syg,

Sempena hari raye yg mulia nih, ayg mintak maaf atas semue salah silap ayg ngan syg selame nih. Maaf Zahir Batin. I am really sorry for anything I've done wrong through out this roller coaster ride of our relationship. Sorry body & soul from the deepest of my heart. I know we've had our ups and downs but you will always be the man I love for the rest of my life, InsyaAllah. Although we are far apart, always remember that my feelings for you will stay the same. You are my one and only, and forever you'll be. Glad after all these years, we are still going strong together and I hope, everything gets better & better in the future. Looking forward to start a new life with you and be part of your lovely family. Thank you for everything, especially for the new baju raya. ;) It means a lot to me. Halalkan makan minum ayg. Take care and I can't wait to see you... Muahs!

Loves,

Ayg =D

Happy Eid Mubarak!

The fasting month is coming to an end. Although it is kinda sad to say goodbye to this special month, I can't help myself from feeling super happy to welcome the eid day. This past few days, I was sooo in the celebration mood. Hehe. I went, ehem, shopping *cough*. It started with finding a pair of new shoes to match my new baju raya Hazmi just bought for me. ;) (I so can't wait to receive it from Daud who'll be arriving a few days after raya) Then, Aida & I went to New Look where I got myself a shirt and a slack. The next day, the whole house went shopping. I bought another pair of shoes, this time a black one, you know, for formal event; presentation, interview etc. In addition, I got 3 pieces of top. The funny thing is, when I was deciding on which colour to buy, Dina & Aida reminded me that I already bought a white knit wear just a few weeks ago and I can't remember at all until I was on the way home. Well, I guess it is a sign of too much shopping when you can't remember what you already bought. I should stop. I should stop. Erm, after I got myself a nice necklace, that is. :p hehe. Anyway, Happy Eid Mubarak to all my blog readers. =D May all of us celebrate this beautiful day with the true meaning of Eid.

Game Theory

The first monday lecture marked the start of the new academic session. It was AC 330 Financial Acctg & Analysis. I'm officially a 3rd & final year student now. Well, it is already in the middle of the week so I better get my head used to all this again. My choices of subjects for this year, apart from the AC330, I have AC340 an auditing paper, AC300 a finance paper and... MA300 Game Theory. You probably have heard this theory before through economics but it still sounds weird to me. I mean I actually get to LEARN to PLAY games correctly. I get to take it as one of my degree subjects. How cool is that??? ;) I love games... technical ones, not the warcraft ones. Hmm, but chess is kinda like a warcraft game, isn't it? Erm, but you get what I mean, right? Or not? Whatever. That's another thing. I'm supposed to be retired from chess but recent pressures had made me thinking again so I decided to try start all over with that. Mimi actually bought me a CD of Chessmaster 10th Edition as my bday present =) (Thanx Mimi) so I better start cracking soon. Putting chess aside, I think I'm gonna enjoy this subject coz it shows you how to play several different games technically BUT I think it's gonna be difficult coz it's taught using mathematical notations. And my maths... sigh, lets just say I need a LOT of brushing up to do. Well, pray for the best!

Back in London

Sigh. 4 months has passed in 'a blink of an eye'. I'm back in London, back to school. For this new academic year, of course my resolution is to study hard, even harder than last year, I hope. This would be my final year here so have to really make my stay here worthwhile. Hazmi has been doing pretty well too in Malaysia. Attending lectures & tutorials, doing coursework & presentations, worrying about carrying marks, exam syllabus & formats. And as always, I am proud of u, my dear... even prouder with ur progress now. ;) Well, after 4 months of being away, I sure need some adjusting back here. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it very soon. But what do I miss the most in Malaysia?

• Firstly, of course My Hazmi, Mummy & Abg... relatives & friends
• Next, the sunlight... Owh, sunshine. I sure miss u so much although I don't think I'll miss the heat just yet
• Food... hmm, the selection of food. Well, the amount too. hehe. (Shouldn't put that much emphasis on that huh)
• Shopping? Really? Hmm, dont think so
• Rain? Noooooo. We have plenty here
• What else? Driving. Yesss, coz I don't drive here. Not that I drive much at home but at least I still could once in awhile (Actually bcoz I don't drive that much at home, I miss it. If driving is what I do everyday, I don't think I'll miss it at all. Traffic congestion is baaddd in KL)

Hmm, is that all? I guess that are the major ones. Others are just petty2 things like i miss my room, my shoes which i left at home, my handbag... etc. (Is this ME typing?) The cats... I don't think so. hehe. Peace cats... ok laa... I miss u guys, too. Haha. Adolf, stay away from my man. (I hope he knows I'm joking I'm jealous of his cat... or am I? Hmm, something I should spend time thinking about. =P ) Alrite dude. Latersss

Happy 4th Anniversary

17th September 2006

4 years... it may seem short but we've been through a lot together within this period. Good times and bad times, ups and downs and this 4 wonderful months vacation has added more memories to our love diary. We celebrated our anniversary in a very romantic setting, a dinner for two in KL Tower. Overlooking the well-lit city, with slow music in the background, I could not imagine a better way of celebrating it. We treat ourselves with food from the buffet before went back home and watched Prime together.

After that, we had a talk, reflecting our relationship so far. A talk i'm glad we had. It's a great feeling to know after all this year, my love for him will never fade. Come what may, i'll always love him, forever, with all my heart. And to know he would still hold my hands through the good & the hard times. And he would never give up on me. I definitely treasure our relationship and I wanna cherish u for the rest of my life, sweetheart. Love u, darling.

A trip to Jeli - Part 2

Sunday 3rd Sept 2006
We woke up early, ready to explore KB. Hazmi needed more of his beauty sleep so stayed behind alone. All of us had our breakfast at the "White House", a place visited by the "Jalan2 Cari Makan" show, famous for the toasted self-made-bread, nasi dagang and others. Then, we headed to Pengkalan Kubor. It's shopping time.

After that, we went back to KB, packed our things and started our journey back. Hungry stomachs must be filled first so our first stop was the Gulai Kawah place. We even got to try air nira. Being the town kids we are, uncle & auntie had to explain to us what air nira is. Owh, now we know. Hehe.

Next stop was the keropok lekor center, where we shopped and ate a lot of them. When the sun was setting down, we stopped for prayer at the floating mosque. My, it's beautiful.
We continued our journey heading south until we reached Seafood Restaurant Pak Su.

After dinner, all of us was definitely full. Though we may be tired, we had to make one last stop before going straight home... Their hometown, their village. That would be the 1st time for me & abg nad. It was great, to get a feel of their childhood memories, where they played, ran and fell. The place where they learned to grow up. ~ We reached nilai at 5 a.m. & i went straight to bed.

I am touched to be given this opportunity to know them better and to be accepted as who i am. This is a great family indeed. I am thankful to get to know u guys. Thank you! =)
And Selamat Bertunang to Abg Mi & Kak Azah. Wishing both of u happiness in ur lives.

A trip to Jeli-Part 1

Friday 1st Sept 2006
This was a trip I'd been looking forward to... A trip to Hazmi's bro: Abg Mi's engagement to Kak Azah, which took place in Jeli, Kelantan. Why was I so excited about it? I got to follow their family trip all the way there... hehe. (Does that need an explanation?) AnYway, we started our journey around 9.30a.m. Uncle led the trip in his BMW, followed by Uncle Seli's Naza Chitra and us in Naza Ria. The journey took about 8 hours, with a stop for lunch near Grik. In Jeli, we stayed in 2 big bungalows. Nice place. Made of wood, cool and breezy. Upon arriving, the guys & girls were fighting of who gets the air-cond room but then, we just slept in the living room so there was no point fighting in the 1st place. It was freezing cold.

Saturday 2nd Sept 2006
Early morning, everyone else wanted to go sightseeing. Hazmi was tired from the journey and refused to follow. I, as always, don't have that much interest in shopping but can't just stayed behind with him alone. Lucky Kak Ina & Abg Nad offered to stay behind as well. So the 4 of us plus Abg Mi just went for breakfast nearby. In the afternoon, after everyone was ready looking all pretty & fabulous (hehe), we went to Kak Azah's place for the official ceremony.

The ceremony went well and the FoOd... was fantastic. Right after the ceremony, we packed our things and headed to Kota Bahru, the capital of Kelantan. After dinner, freshing up, a short rest and a tv-drama, Kak Jane, Dira, Hazmi & I went for a drive. More ppl would have followed if we went earlier, around 10p.m. or so but since we were stuck to the tv, everyone else had gone to sleep. Look what we found... m0r3 FoOdDd...

to be continued...

Happy Birthday Hubby!

hey ppl, ppl, ppl. Sorry for the long silence. I've been, u know, BUSY. Currently doing Vacation Training with PwC and I'm glad to say, I sort of enjoy my time there. For the lack of enthusiasm, blame the early mornings and very-far-client's-offices. It would usually take me nearly 2 hours one-way so daily, I spend about 4 hours commuting. But I do think the experience is worthwhile and the ppl are awesome. Owh, have u heard... the exam result is out? Happy to announce my hard work pays, though I hope to actually do better. Next time, I guess.

My dearest Leo Hubby just celebrated his 22nd birthday yesterday. Happy Big Birthday to you, LOVE! *Muacks* His housemates gave him a very big celebration by chasing him around the area while throwing eggs at him. I wonder... What joy do they get by doing this??? *sigh* Boys will be boys. But just a day earlier, his family celebrated his bday at their home in Nilai and of course I'm invited ;) and I'm glad to be there. I am always glad to have him by my side. Hmm, we've been seeing each other every weekend lately. AWESOME! hehe.

Hey, what's wrong with this Dunia Baru show? At first, it was showed on Thursdays. Then, changed to Mondays. Yesterday, when I came back from work, it wasn't that show shown on tv. Haiyah, why change never tell one? Why change at all? Who to blame here??? BOJOLLL... Kau laa ni introduce kat aku. Dah aku suke tgk, tayang suke hati jer. Aku nak tgk tv laa, taknak bace buku. Penat. haha.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I need my beauty sleep. Will try to update when I have the time and energy to do so. Tadaa...

Us @ Sepang Circuit, watching Drag Battle

Unplanned trip

hey peeps... I'm back... after a loooonngg week. What's up??? Last Wednesday, my sweet housemates, Dina & Aida treated me for my bday at Nando's Mid-valley. We ate a LOT until we were very2 full and couldn't even finish our brownies-ice-cream-dessert (we bought it for charity... yeah, right) haha. Right after that, I rushed to Pudu to catch a bus to Melaka. Reached Kota Mas around 8pm (it's not Kota Mas anymore... I thought I'd stopped at the wrong place) Hazmi picked me up (as always... obviously). Went for dinner... where Abby's bf, Daus came joined us. Went for a drink again with Hazmi's housemates before we started studying. Yesss, that's right. I went studying with them. What subject, ppl? Statistics... *sigh* I thought I'm over with that. Apparently not. Went to sleep at Izza's place around 3am. (Wwooppss... sorry. But they do study very late at night... I mean, in the morning, whatever.) Thursday was a little bit boring. Woke up late in Izza's bed, lunch, shopping, dinner, study study study. And it's Friday. Met hubby outside the exam hall and went for breakfast.

Now, this is interesting. I was supposed to go back home that day. That's what I planned to do. I didn't have any extra clothes for anything else. But then, hubby just told me that his mum actually invited me to join their family trip to Johor to send Kak Ina to the groom's side. That's Great! but what was I supposed to wear? I didn't have an appropriate attire; baju kurung, shoes, tudung, etc. Grr... he didn't tell me earlier. Lucky me, Izza has some baju kurung. She even offered me her heels. hehe. Thanx. That's very nice of her. I borrowed the baju kurung. But I guess I'd do fine without the heels... hopefully. Surrounded by these tall ppl, I'd still be the shortest, no matter how high my heels are so it doesn't really matter actually. The trip was GGrrRReEEAaatT! Ngehehe. Of course it was. Got to spend time with this family. It's a golden opportunity. I even got to be the camera girl coz his mum forget to bring one. (But I don't think I did a great job with that especially when I got my food. Actually, when I arrived at the groom's house, the hired cameraman was always in my way. So I figured better let him do HIS job and let me eat peacefully. Plus Dira also had a camera. She was better with it anyway.)

We came back on Saturday. Went to help mummy on Sunday at her office, packing and throwing stuff. Her department has moved to a new location so she had to empty her room. Went to PTPTN with hubby on Monday. Continued helping mummy that evening and the next day, until I get my rest on Wednesday. So it's a whole week before I get my rest. Woke up today... Thursday and did some washing. Went to KLCC to celebrate Dina's bday with some KMYS ppl and tmrw I'm going to Melaka again. MMU's hosting an IT fair this weekend. And I have a few things on my list; a laptop for mummy, a router and a hard disk. Yeah, that's shopping that I LIKE! I don't like other kinds of shopping. *sigh* not quite normal yet. Getting there, halfway there, but not quite there yet. Slowly... Will be there soon, or never. depends. What am I blabbering about? Anyway, come and drop by. Maybe there's something for you too. I'm sleepy. Need to take my beauty sleep now. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. And I'm going to start my vacation training next week. So good luck to me eyh? Laters...

Kak Ina & Abg Nadzry's Wedding

15 June 2006: Nikah

Went with mummy & abg, I was excited to be invited to this event. Only family, close relatives and close friends are invited to Akad Nikah ceremony so this really means a Lot to me. =) I couldn't get a good shot from where I was. Don't wanna look too eager so I didn't move any closer. But this is good enough. The bride looked BEAUTIFUL in white. The groom did it with only ONE lafaz... very impressive. Apparently he had been practising that for several days already. :) Seems like hard work pays. The Kadi is the same age as me so technically he's younger than the newly-weds. The ceremony went well. Dinner (delicious N9's masakan kampung) was served soon after.

17 June 2006: The night b4 Kenduri
I came over just to see if there's anything I can help with, apparently none. Had Grilled Salmon Steak for dinner at Restoran As-Salam near their house where suddenly Hazmi's lil sis Abby, her bf Daus, their cousin Dilla, her bf Abg Salleh, and another cousin Nadia joined us. Was a very kecoh dinner which ended with Hazmi paying the bill. haha. We couldn't decide where to sleep that night: Nilai or KL. Mcm dah kawin laa plak kan, umah sendiri ke umah mentua. :p Kak Ina & Nadia tried to persuade me to stay but when Abby & Dilla wanted to sleep at Allson Kelana with their relatives, we went back to KL. Hence, we did not join the family's karaoke night as it was already late.

18 June 2006: Kenduri of the Bride's side & The Bride's 23rd Birthday
The Kenduri was scheduled to start at 12pm. Having arrived @12.10pm, Hazmi & I were a little bit late. Not because we overslept but we had to go to Mambau, KLIA and to Bangi before we could go back to Nilai. So actually we were on time. It's just that I signed up to give bunga telur that day so I had to rush. Had a chance to meet more ppl including Kak Azah (Abg Mi's wife-to-be), Hanisah Salehin (my 1-year TKC junior, apparently daughter to Hazmi's Mum's close friend) and of course, more relatives. The bride & groom arrived at 1pm, accompanied by the groom's family. PDRM's kompang team played the kompang to welcome them. Bersanding right away and the merenjis ceremony was carried out soon after. The bride & groom looked stunning in their pink and green suits. Proceeded outside for Makan Beradat. The Bride cut a pulut kuning "cake" for her birthday, followed by the newly-weds cutting their lovely white wedding cake. Then, it was photography session before the couple went to meet and greet the guests. Their pelamin was beautifully decorated in cream colour with fresh roses of red and pink. The bride's make up artist is Nurul Shukur, Siti Nurhaliza's favourite make up artist. The food was delicious; ayam masak merah, daging rendang etc. In conclusion, the wedding ceremony was a REAL success.

Really enjoyed myself being around his family, meeting ppl & welcoming guests. Thankful that this family treats me really nicely. Stayed around until Hazmi's ready to move after he finished packing & loading his things into the car. MMU's term has started so back to school to you :p hehe. Went back home with a goodie back for mummy and 3 bouquet of roses for me. hahahaha. Special thanx to Hubby, his parents, his 2 sisters Kak Ina & Abby, and his 2 cousins Dilla & Nadia for a Wonderful Memory...

ps: Darkie just gave birth this morning to 2 lovely kittens. Mummy was forced to stay up with Darkie as she refused to let mummy sleep. Halfway through the process, she actually paused to tell us that she was tired by meow-ing and panting with her mouth open while looking at us. What laa Darkie. We know it's very tiring. Don't have to pause JUST to tell us that.
