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. :)

Happenings

Still trying to get a hang of this new blog I set up. At times I find myself trying to craft something new to post. I am often at loss of words. Or maybe it's just my English getting rusty.

A quick recap of that happened in my life after the last time I posted something new on my blog. That was in April. Time flies fast these days. It is now June.

1) Made two trips to Singapore (business of course). Early and end of May. Although Singaporeans look at us Malaysians like vermin, I still love that place. One helluva country. Super clean. Shopping heaven. Über efficient public transportation. No car wrecking potholes on the road. I especially love the fact that Singapore has many old, beautiful trees which they maintain as a part of the town landscaping. The things I hate about Singapore? The taxi drivers who think they own the place. The traffic jam that made me want to rip my bladders out plainly because I was too cool to go pee-pee before I hopped on the taxi from my workplace in Tuas to the hotel in Orchard Road which took me a good one and a half hour because of the damn traffic (it's supposed to take only like half an hour). More pros than cons. Hm. Would definitely go to Singapore again and again and again.

2)  Received invites to attend friends' weddings! Yay! Four invitations. Two invitations from my former housemates in college. Another two from my former classmates, also college. That's a lot right? Attended one in Melaka last week so one down. Three more to go. One even asked me to be the tray bearer which I agreed wholeheartedly. Need to scout for a tailor to make my dress. Phew.

3) Completed my collection of Apple products. Bought a new 13" Macbook Air for work purposes (only selected people are allowed to touch my MBA. Lay off those greasy hands). Also bought a pink sleeve and red keyboard protector to match. I have never been unsatisfied with an Apple product. This one included. I see no cons so far. I love the fact that I have to learn the OS from scratch since it differs from the conventional Windows-based interface. I find it interesting instead of tedious.

4) I've had four to five people telling me that I'm becoming more and more serious. Probably my wackiness is starting to wear off with age. Man, I can already feel myself morphing into this super boring, constantly exhausted, impatient person. I want to avoid turning into a buzzkill. But how do I do so without people taking me as a joke? Huh. I think work has finally taken its toll on me. Constantly dealing with stupid people has finally caused me some major impact mentally and physically. I find my patience wearing thin day by day. Even summing up the energy to talk & explain things has become a chore for me. Just read my blog. I even sound boring here right? Ughh. Thank goodness my boyfriend is around to make me wacky again every time I take a stroll down the boring ol' lady road.

That's it for tonight. Bed time for the ol' lady. Yawn.

Thoughts #1

"I heard he promised you forever.. But forevers come and go"

The Beginning of the End

Hello. I scrapped my last blog. I leafed through it, found nothing memorable and hit delete in under ten seconds. Well.. There WERE some things memorable. But I choose to keep it in my mind rather than on some public page in cyberspace where no one would be impressed.

Speaking of endings, I have also decided to put on hold my glorious reign over social networking sites e.g Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Why? Because I find it.. Nauseating or in today's urban tongue, gag-worthy. Again, why? Instead of using it as a tool to share useful knowledge and information, people have abused the sites' functionalities as a how shall I put it mildly.. Bragging tool. Takes photo of items recently purchased, uploads on Instagram, caption "Alhamdulillah", checks phone frequently for a thousand likes or so. Or uploads a collaged photo on Facebook of a selfie with husband and the mighty expensive jewelry he bought, caption "My husband is the sweetest person on earth. I am one lucky girl, thanks Baby for the expensive jewellery". Sound familiar?

I admit I have been one of those people. But then one day as I was trying to decide which filter to use for the photo of the item I wanted to display to the whole wide world, I thought to myself OMG I really need help. I felt disgusted with myself and knew I had to stop. Some people may have not been blessed with what I have. That doesn't give me bragging rights, does it? Which is why I chose to shy away from these social networking sites and be here instead.

Thus, the beginning of an end.
