Wedding Bugs Everywhere

I have started planning my wedding. Went to survey a few bridal houses last week. Hopefully this weekend we get a confirmed wedding date so I can start booking things to avoid last minute hiccups.

Speaking of which, I have noticed some funny things happening to my friends who are getting married. They turn into this super annoying person when they decide to get hitched. All they talk about is wedding plans, what to wear, where to book a bridal, what kind of wedding they want, their fiancé buying them this and that, honeymoon.. They want to share every last detail with everyone on the planet. Not to mention the ones uploading  photos of EVERY SINGLE wedding detail on Facebook & Instagram.

 I call bullshit. Weddings are supposed to be intimate, something special you share between you & your partner.  Yes, you're happy. We're happy for you too. But you don't need to show the whole world, rubbin' it in people's faces. Not many people have what you have. If your sole purpose is to make other people feel bad about their lives, job well done.

Gosh. I hope I don't turn into one of those people. Please God I hope not.

I've lost my flair for writing (not that I have been so talented all this while anyway). Hmm.

My Favorite Skirt

This post is solely dedicated to my most favorite skirt in the whole wide world.

I lost my skirt.
It's like I lost my entire world.
I feel depressed every time I look at a photo of myself
Wearing that stupid, stupid skirt.

Oh skirt,
Why did I love you so much?
Why did I love you too much?
Now I am in pain.

Oh comfy, comfy skirt.
I still remember the feel of you lingering on my skin.
 So stretchable.
So soft.

I hope you're in a better place, skirt.
It pains me to let you go.
It baffles me thinking about
How a heart can love a skirt so much.

SIGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Normal. Just Normal.

Eid 2014 has come and gone. We spent the holidays in Penang again this year. We had fun. LOTS of fun. We made our home a three storey bungalow right in the heart of Straits Quay. We had a Durian Fest again this year. Four days went by in a breeze. We spent the first day lazing at home. The second at Escape in the morning (three storey high obstacle course! flying fox! bungee jump!) and in the evening, dinner at a Chinese Muslim Restaurant in Bayan Baru (shark fin soup! steamed fish in fish sauce! oyster with eggs!). The third at Gurney Plaza & Gurney Paragon (H&M! Coffee Bean!). The fourth at Chow Rasta Market (pickles and used books!). The traffic wasn't crazy surprisingly. Thank God.

Fuck You, World.

I've realized something tonight. I don't have to take crap from all these people. You've got something to say about me? Well fuck you. I'm tired of listening to you talk behind my back. Laughing at me like I have no heart nor feelings. You can take your words and shove it up your fucking asshole. You. Yeah. All of you. I've had enough. I am what I am. Take it or leave it. Aku tak kacau kau pun. Tak faham apsal kau nak kacau aku.

A Good Week

This week is by far the best week this year.

For the first time since like forever, the place where I work has declared Saturdays off. To the ones who made it happen, may Allah swt bless you. You have no idea how many people are thankful for this.

Here I am enjoying my Friday night watching BBT and sleeping late. :)

This week is also the week where me & my boyfriend take a a small step forward in our relationship ; announcing it to his parents. Praying that it goes well for the both of us.

Happy First Anniversary, Syaiful! :)

Happy first anniversary, my sweetest, most dearest significant other!

Our boyfriend / girlfriend relationship is a one year old. 

This relationship is still a tiny little baby if you count it using average human years.
This one year has taught us so many things.

We both discovered so many things about each other.
Funny, annoying, amazing, ugly things that make this relationship all the more beautiful.
Thank you for not being afraid to show me who you really are.
Thank you for accepting my ugly flaws.
Finally, I've found my travelling buddy. (Let's make Japan happen!)

We've learned cruel things about other people.
How friends can turn into enemies.
How their words can be hurtful in the worst way possible.
How hateful they can be.
Thank you for always being there for me and with me, comforting me, making me happy at the lowest point of my life.
Thank you for always, ALWAYS making me feel like a princess.

We've learned the true meaning of love.
The kind of love where we treat each other right.
The kind of love where we both give and take.
The kind of love that is respectful and isn't ignorant.
The kind of love that gives us the freedom to be who we truly are.
The kind of love that has moved & affected us in amazing ways.
Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of love.

Like Carl & Ellie, I wish to grow old with you.

I love you Mohamad Syaiful Bahari. Again, happy first anniversary. :)
