new phone in the house!

as a 5 months anniversary gift, an iPhone from abang dearest!! such a beauty. 🙂

thank you abang dearest and i love you much.

yesterday was a very challenging day at work. three teachers down with me almost having a nervous breakdown having to search for replacements. which is d%^# not easy! i hope and i sincerely beg these teachers to not please not work on a saturday! saturday is a very crucial and i mean crucial day of all the days!! please la~ but anyway, Lord has given me strength to move on. i had the ydo came back from his off in lieu to take over one morning class. i had one of our youth members to take two classes-two sessions, and alhamdulillah, some of our youth members were madrasah students and i am so so grateful to them, another one cover one teens class and i took another teens class which supposedly the ‘difficult’ class. i still got burnt the whole day because for every relief i have, i have to explain to them the lesson before they can take over. i dont think i have ever remembered so many of teens’ lessons as much as yesterday!

and i had to deal with the transport person for some messed up issues. how many things can happen within 8 hours of work?

i think i slept like a log last night. body aching everywhere. and my righthand wrist is hurt, what’s the cause i cant remember but for the whole of last night and this morning, i cant bear even holding anything. it’s feeling better now but hurts if i turn it at a certain angle. hopefully it’s just a normal strain.

another week to go through after the short break and i pray for better things.

shortest break

happy holidays for two days! 🙂

i keep confusing the days. i keep on thinking its wednesday when its already thursday. and friday tomorrow..after that saturday the busiest day of my weeks. and we have been watching chinese movies and miotv has been generous that we get to watch big bang theory series~ especially love red cliff 1 and 2. it gives me the same feeling as when i watch lord of the rings. victory for the good sides but tugs at the heart for all the people who had to fight in the battle.

heh, whatever, i’m just glad that i get to spend the day with my abang. it’s been a rush this week sending mil and sil for the eye and leg checkup. mom just had an operation on her left eye and thankfully progressing well now. and i had a sudden high fever but feeling much better now.

work has been smooth so far at the moment. of course with a few glitches here and there but i pray that i will overcome this challenges with wisdom and hikmah. one year on the job has taught me well. it’s all about improvements this year. and i am grateful that i have a group of teachers who are able to work together, much better to say the least, compared to other divisions. other than that, i have to be so much more assertive. definitely. and there are a few things i wish to accomplish this year. giving myself one year to prove that i’m worth the job.

so this month is rabiul awal. the birth month of our Prophet s.a.w.
and i realised i have been too much engrossed with work and what nots, i will spend this month reading books on the Prophet, remember him any moment i can and relieved those feelings of love to him. so help me Lord.

let’s see which book to read….

25.09.2010

when sickness creeps in…we tend to reminisce in happier times. after so long of not being sick, my body has finally succumbed to the bug. but since am home and seemingly rebelling from pending works, i have the sudden inclination to upload photos overdued.
MY WEDDING PICS…

25.09.2010

and all the time he doesnt know i was behind him

My father our qadhi
doing what i’ve yearned so much to do

the most happiest people, besides me and abang, my colourful family

magical day

it’s been a month!! of wedded bliss and fluttering hearts everytime we touch. 😉

still at honey mooning stage they say and what best way to mark the one month anniversary than a reminisce of the wedding day. but i guess pictures always speak a thousand words. and in becoming the bride, i knew now that the aqad nikah is such a powerful moment. indeed there was the qadhi and the witnesses, but it’s not only a matter of words and a certificate with both my name and dear’s name, but it’s as if the Lord Himself is ‘there’ witnessing this me and him union, and angels amongst family and friends. the whole universe is celebrating…ok ok i know, i read too much fantasy books.

dinner was magical. with my favourite song Anywhere by Evanescence while we made our entrance. i love it. it is a dream come true because i’ve always thought Anywhere is a perfect song to play as we walk along the aisle. and it did. thank you abang dearest for making my dream come true.

and i was a javanese princess on sunday 😉

i meant to add pictures in this particular post, but give me one two days yeah. one good thing was the pictures were ready within a month. the photographers were clearing all assignments before they hit the popular date 101010. except for the studio shots. and i’m excited for that as well.

and not to mention our scenic new zealand trip. our first quarrel and made up 😉 knowing one another a bit more, the struggle against the cold (for me, abang was at peace with the cold, heh) and hours of driving.

heartbeats

it has been a beautiful, amazing, dream-like fulfilled for the past weeks i do not want it to end.
i have so many things to blog about that sometimes words cant describe so where do i start?

the days of singlehood is passe to me. i’m a wife now. we have each other now. always. it feels so natural to be in his arms. 😉

i have hundreds of pics to upload. yes yes wedding event pics are ready! (i thought that’s fast, received an sms from the photographers during our honeymoon and collected them the very next day after we reached sg)

honestly, my mind is still reminiscing the days before, during the wedding and after, which is of course our amazing New Zealand trip. still fresh in mind me missing him when we are supposed to not meet before the wedding but eventually had to two days before for my bridal make up and dresses trial. my heartbeat was running (as if meeting him for the first time!) and looking at him and thinking “this man here is going to be my husband in 2 days’ time!” anggun andaman was great! beautiful gorgeous dresses and make-up! perfect place for simpletons like me 😉

moments of disbelief, of dreaming and imagination almost sinked in when my best friend Mahir gave me some ‘serious’ advice, my wedding service planner Kak Tini came with the photographer en zain and cik nor the caterer. while making some final arrangements, my mind so full of many other things to think about, but at some corner, it gives a picture of maturity, of responsibility, a new life together what lies ahead is indescribable and of possibilities.

the day, friday, when syraskins (that girl is very ‘entrepreneural’!) came and had to do my henna…i’m just relaxing and she’s drawing my hands and feet, therapeutic in a way..and the smell of cooling fresh henna paste triggered my senses, it’s another eureka moment for me.. 🙂

i was thinking of abang dearest and wondering how’s he going on with all the preparations at his side and missing him and telling myself this will all be over and i’m going to be his tomorrow! i may look calm and relaxed, but my mind and heart was like a hurricane of memories and feelings!

and come the Day. beautiful day on 25th September 2010….
to be continued…hubby juz called he’s taking half day!

5 more days

5 more days to go. and i’m nervous and worried and i pray that everything will go fine!
and its not just that…but also the emotions going on in my heart and mind that i will be someone’s wife and its like a whole different life.

at one time i will be thinking about the wedding and what i need to do next, or whether i forgot something or what. and for once, i dont think about work at all, i cannot think about work, my mind is just reeling about the wedding. and then at another split second, i will be feeling sad that i might miss my parents and siblings, of course, we stay so nearby, but its different! i’m moving to a different house, home, i think it can be a scary thought at times, but also excited because i will be staying with a husband. really, mixed emotions. no wonder bride- to-bes are discouraged to go out so much, because if they have so many things to think of, they are better at home than out. need to calm oneself a lot.

ok maybe i worry too much. i know things will be fine and i will do well as a wife. insya Allah.

but at this crucial time, i miss my grandparents. a LOT. i miss them so much and wished that they are here to be with me, to witness this day. i longed to see their smiles. i wish i could hug them and say i love them.i know they will be very happy. yayi would have been the happiest grandfather. nenek would already be here, staying here and will probably be nagging if i dont follow the rules, atuk would be here, probably sitting in front of the tv watching news. Lord, i miss them.

anyway. please pray for me. i want the wedding to be perfect and a good start to a marriage:))

seri in wonderland

i’m so mesmerized by the colours of the movie that i fail to see the lessons on philosophy in alice in wonderland.

but at the moment, all i can think of is dreamland, work has been very hectic (has there been a time when i complain work is NOT hectic?) heart body mind and soul hectic.

and i wanted to blog about so many things but after reading my close friends’ blogs and seeing how so many people are so much in love that i cant help but feel blessed that me too have someone to love. 😉

so, it seems like the acronym of the moment: ILY. so i want to say it too.

to you and only you. ILY.
