cheer up

Called Mr Bert for the usual nite call.
" Hey dia.. are you at home?"
"No..kat office.."
"Really..at this hour? SO late?"
"Yeah.. what to do.. there's lotsa work"
"Oh dear..mesti tak makan dinner lagi.."
"Uh-huh. Eh meen, I have to finish this email. I can't concentrate.."
"Oh okay.."

He puts down the phone.
Well, is not that I was upset ke aper. But, terasa la gak kan..
Anyways, I continued surfing.
Not long after, Mr Bert called back!

"Hey.. I just left the office.."

My heart smiled.
It is sweet when he 'knows' how to cheer me up, although not in the most obvious ways.
(^_^)

Lega..

I feel quite relief after everything has been cleared up.
Susahnya nak jaga hati semua pihak.
Again, it is all about the different culture clash..
Despite the differences, everything falls into place.
Alhamdulillah..

Anyways, a little ad for my talented photographer cousins.
They just started their own photography company, and I must say they are pretty good!
Kamil's has always has great eye in taking pictures.

New Layout

Finally, managed to find time to change this blog's layout.
It is simpler.. simple & sweet.
I've added my wedding countdown, and also there's a shoutbox too.
So, hopefully I'll stick to this skin for reasonable period of time.

Latest updates..yes, we have finally agreed on the big day's date!
(Hence the countdown)
Finally everyone is agreable to it.
The 'dugaan' bit has started to kick in a bit. Sigh..
Ya Allah, please let me be strong & focus. Amin.

Anyways, since the date has been set, I can now plan for my Annual leaves for next year.
2nd step..77 days & counting.

The Ring!

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes dia, definately!" (^_^)

ring hunting again

We did surveyed around, found one ring that we both liked, but somehow, we're still not satisfied.
I wanted a pink diamond ring, but of course it is not in the budget! hehe..
Perhaps I should go for coloured stones.. but that wouldn't look like an engagement ring, would it?

Am glad to see that Mr Bert is very enthusiastic to go for ring shopping. And mind you, we're looking for MY ring, not his!
He scouted the day before we when for ring hunting, he surveyed around today.
We're supposed to meet up on Sunday to continue our hunt, but he insist that we meet up on Wednesday.
Semangat kan? But I loike! hehe..

Hopefully we'll find the right ring soon...

******************************************************

Mr Bert has met the lady who will be doing my hantarans over the weekend.
"So, you've discussed everything with her?"
"Yeap.. she said she'll do yours in pink."
"Pink?? Dia, it's supposed to be purple la. Pink is for nikah"
"Eh.. I thought you're giving me purple?"
"No la dia.. I am giving you blue, you are giving me purple?"
"Oh ye ke..okay, I will tell her the changes"

Aduh..sabar ajelah my dia! tsk tsk..
The other day pun, his mom also got confused with the colour scheme.
Maybe I made them confused! hmm..

*********************************************************

Had a chat with Kak Long earlier.
She gave a few good advices:-
1) "It is your wedding. Don't bother what others think, you should decide what's best."
2) "Alah, ikut kemampuan la. Who knows in the future, you might get better things.."
3) "Isn't Kak As' story inspirational? Go Meen, you can do it!"

Okay Kak Long, I will try my best to change for the better.
It has to start..TOMORROW!!
Go Meen go, before it is too late!

Ring shopping

Tomorrow we are going to find the ring..
I am super excited!!
Ring-shopping, here I come!

12 weeks more

12 weeks more till the 2nd step..
Time sure flies..there's so much to do! *gulp!*
counting the days..

chat with naj

I just got off the phone with my good ol' friend, Naj.
She called all the way from Belfast..and we spoke for a total of 2 hours!
It was so fun talking to her..we chat from her hectic doctor schedule, to about married life, about Mr Bert, bout our friends. It seems that the conversation will never end. I feel like I am in high school again, back to the days when we used to 'bergayut' for hours & hours. And guess what, nothing has changed! hehe..
I miss her 'craziness'.. she still the same-ol' Naj.
Thanx for calling Naj..I hope you are able to come back for my big day!

Earlier this morning I had a trial make up.. and it turned out nice!
So, photographer checked. Make-up artist checked.
And a whole lot more to do.. 12 weeks & counting!

Btw, to all muslims.. Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha..

lagu kita

"..Dan aku terus,
Menyanyi lagu ini untukmu
Walau berjuta mendengar
Lagu ini hanya untukmu..
Arah hidup kita
Digambar bintang di angkasa
Berkelip melukis cinta
Terciptalah lagu kita .."

dia in hospital..

Mr Bert is in the hospital yet again.
My poor baby!
This is his 3rd time this year, his tonsils are badly infected.
He is to be warded for 3 days. Dunno if he can go back to KB on time.
Be strong dia.. you'll be fine Insyallah..

As he was filling out the particulars, the nurse at the counter was updating his data on the computer.
She asked "Who will be your Emergency Contact person?"
"She is.." he pointed to me.
"And the relation is..?" she asked again.
He was looking at the option boxes:- Wife/Husband/Father/Mother/Brother/Sister/Others.
"Errmm... 'Others' kot"
"Well, what exactly is her relations to you?"
"It's fiance to be.. tapi takpe, you can put under 'Others'"
Then, as she typed on the computer, she said "Oh, there is a 'Fiance' option. I'll put her as your fiance alright?"
"Okay.."
I was literally smiling from cheek to cheek. (^_^)
It feels good to be in a new "category" option. *grins*

blast from the past..

Somehow today, I encountered a 'blast from the past' episode.
2 blasts, if I may put it.
God is really testing me..dugaan yet again..

Alhamdulillah, God gave me the strength.
I am able to brave myself to overcome these hurdles without any second thought.
The memories didn't give any impact.
The damanges were done, and forgotten. Syukur..

You know, I am rather thankful to be Mr Bert's FTB.
It is waaayy much better than being a gf.
(Although the status is quite the same).
Now, anywhere I go, and when I look down at my hand, looking at my ring..
I can somewhat feel a sense of belonging.
Its a kind of feeling that you are safe & secure.
That I am his..for real.

I now begin to appreciate his efforts & his concerns.
Relationships don't come easy, that is so true.
Every obstacle that we face has made us stronger, make us closer.
I am truly blessed, truly grateful, truly thankful that Mr Bert has come into my life.

To the love of my life, thank you for being you..
Love you, today, tmrw, & 4eva dia..*muax*

Sneak peak of kain wedding

Hey folks.. am back!
It was such a short trip, the main itenery of the trip was to shop shop shop.
And shop we did! (^_^)
Here is a sneak peak..





Ok tak?
To be honest to you, it was pretty overwhealming when purchasing these kains.
When the final decision was being made, at the back of my mind went "Oh my gosh.. this is it.. this is my baju for the big day!"
I wanted someone to pinch my cheek, just to make sure it is for real.
Obviously it was..
Am so excited!
Now, I just need to figure out what kind of designs for each kain..
