61 days!!

My ring is ready!! its beautiful n i love it! we fell in love with the display one in the store but that one was designed for a much bigger diamond and for way bigger fingers. of course my diamond was smaller n i have a size 7 finger which apparently is really small. so they had to custom make it to fit my finger n the diamond we bought earlier.the dsign on the ring is really intricate and had to be done by hand. it took about 40 days to create and wen we went to pick it up were werent sure it was the correct one coz all the detailings were small compared to the one we saw (of course).. we took a closer look n realised heyy!! it is our ringg!! just smaller!! n i love it! we were both wearing n admiring our rings last nite n jj wanted to tke em out for a 'test drive'. of course i sed no! id kill him if anything happened to them before the wedding. plus it was all shiny and sparkly, the hazey air will tarnish it.

We have gotten all 1173 of our pre wedding photos last week and i get nauseous looking at them coz really- theres so many!!! never have i had my pic taken 37 times in one pose.

also. my dress has arrived!! n its really heavy... i tried it on just once n it was of course a nightmare getting into coz i have as much patience as a 3 year old but we had to be reallllly careful coz the fabric is really delicate n my mom warned me not to put on even a kilo coz she's afraid i wont be able to fit into the dress. and with raya coming up its gonna b a real struggle for me.. nat told me to go out without my glasses or lenses then id b blind as a bat n wont see food therefore i wont eat them. but hello? i kindda have a nose, a pretty powerful one too- but only where food applies. I can often times guess what my neighbours are cooking based on the wafts that come thru my windows.. Its gonna be pretty tough raya for me this year! mayb i should wear a corset... but i kindda like breathing.. so thats out.. gotta go back to the basics and work the old will power i guess.. not that its ever worked before tho..

2 months n 1 day to go!!

Honey! Im home!!


Jj's back on malaysian soil!! i have yet to see him coz he arrived late last night and went to work this morning but we'll be breaking fast togather tonite! i cannot wait! he requested ayam masak lemak cili padi. Its been so long since i last cooked for him im kindda excited!

Did u know that i can make a complete dinner for 6 people in under an hour including appetizers and dessert- but i cannot for the life of me make a good cup of coffee for my man. I always get a lil freaked out when he requests for coffee.. which is not very often for reasons i can guess. He normally asks me to make them only if he's realllllly tired or if were going sumwhr super early in the morning. Most times he goes for the instant or canned variety. but i make a mean coffee cupcake! maybe he should rethink his choice of caffeine...

On another note,  watched 'Haunted Changi' over the weekend and it scared me silly. I initially watched it alone then decided i needed sumone to hold me so i went over to kak in's room and got na to watch it with me. She was all macho and brave as she got under the covers with me.. At the 1st glimpse of the ghost she jumped off the bed and scolded me for letting her watch sumtin so creepy and haughtily went back to her mom's room. i got told off by a 2 1/2 year old.. Finally forced mama to watch it with me, which we did so on mute- a standard when watching a  horror movie with mama.

Im getting married in 2 months and a week!!!

Im dying to do a write up on places i went to get my stuff in jkt but i think it'll have to wait till after the wedding.

Till then! adieu!!

Home is where the heart is


Guess what guess what guess whattt!??? JJ will be coming home wayy earlier then expected!!! apparently he's almost overstayed his business trip this time (which in AUS is a max of 90 days) so the company has no choice but to let him leave and cont working from the KL ofc. I mean seriously. U nvr thot of this before?!?? u HAD to lug him ALL THE WAY across the world!??- ok not really accross the world but sort of..- and left me here alone to die for 6 months!??

ok emotional drama's aside. Im glad he'll be coming home for good- i hope. No more surprises ok boss? i cannot wait to buka puasa with him! or as na would say it. cannot wait to buka Kuasa with him. I asked her yesterday. 'na puasa tak harini??' and she answered 'kuasa laa'while chomping on a mouthfull of chips.

I read this joke recently that made me ponder about married life- after i laughed my head off that is..

A young couple decided to wed. As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive. Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other.


The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice. "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."


His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"


"Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiance will be put off by them."


"No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible,and always wear socks, even to bed." Well, to him this seemed a workable solution.


The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom." Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."


"Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has bad breath in the morning."


"No, you don't understand,. My morning breath is so bad, I'm afraid that my fiance will not want to sleep in the same room with me."


Her mother said simply, "Try this. In the morning, get straight out of bed, and head for the kitchen and make breakfast. While the family is busy eating, move on to the bathroom and brush you teeth. The key is, not to say a word until you've brushed your teeth."


"I shouldn't say good morning or anything?" the daughter asked.


"Not a word," her mother affirmed.


"Well, it's certainly worth a try," she thought.


The loving couple were finally married. Not forgetting the advice each had received, he with his perpetual socks and she with her morning silence, they managed quite well. That is, until about six months later. Shortly before dawn one morning, the husband wakes with a start to find that one of his socks had come off. Fearful of the consequences, he frantically searches the bed. This, of course, wakes his bride and without thinking, she asks, "What on earth are you doing?"


"Oh, my," he replies, "you've swallowed my sock!"

Lalut

Hiya peeps!

How has puasa been for u guys?? My 1st day went rather well. Other then the fact that i felt like dying an hour from iftar and had to lie down in the kitchen while my niece played doctor and well she really thot i had died...- all was well :)

I made a creamy chicken pie and carved a smiley face into it. While i was rolling the dough, i gave sabrina a portion of it so she was workin on it for all she was worth and told me to move coz i was crowding her and her 'cake'. I 'the pie baker' was crowding her 'the ever so busy little pest'.

We watched twillight last night coz she insisted on watching a horror movie. Twilight was as close to a horror movie as i could find. Not that she watched it anyway. Other then screaming questions up my nose- literally up my nose. She had her face half an inch from mine and was shouting (she talks real loud) WHY IS IT DOING THAT MAMA NA!!?!? WHYY!??? WHY IS THE PFFF (she means 'wolf') CHASING THAT LADY MAMA NA!!??? WHYYYYY!?!??

Then when bella jumped off the cliff into the ocean she grabbed my face with both hands and went. NA PON NAK MANI (mandi) LALUT!!!

Ok makcik becok aside. I wanna tell u guys how i fell the other day :( it wasnt a clumsy little slip and fall. no no. i went the entire mile and landed on both my knees and slammed myself onto the floor. and to make matters worse, i shattered my car keys. oh and let me tell u- i fell in front of a whole bunch of guys who were smoking. humiliation aside. It HURT!! like really hurt!! im still doing my daily prayers sitting on a chair coz my knees are still bruised blue black. when i fell i heard the sound of sumtin breaking. I thot something broke n fell off my handbag coz its got really heavy rounded metal fixtures. It was dark and with my horrible eyesight i cudnt really see so i basically grabbed whatever rounded object that was in sight. i found the battery for my car keys. and a cigarette butt. I stopped groping for things then and laughed at myself before walking in n pretending nothing happened. I have no idea who saw me coz really i could barely see 3 inches out let alone 3 feet. but whoever it was- if u see a lady falling pls extend a helping hand coz as embarrassed as u are to have been an unfortunate spectator, she is def more embarrassed times 100 ok. lookng away will not make her believe u didnt catch the entire show. sheesh. malaysian men.

Its been a rough past week for me. like everything that could go wrong-did. mom says its darah manis. a bride thing. But really! i have more then enough on my plate. I'd rather get thru the wedding without any blood sweetener ok.
