Last weekend, i was driving alone in my car, my mind fully occupied with all things wedding. I absentmindedly picked up my phone n speed dialed my fiancee to remind him of things we needed to settle and ok fine im no angel- i actually do that ALL THE TIME!! eleh i know u guys do the same! who doesnt talk on the phone while driving!?!? in my defence- i did buy a handsfree kit! but it didnt work! i never bothered to get it checked or get a new one coz i was plain lazy.
as i was driving, a huge white crv passed me by and i saw the 'polis' logo 2 seconds too late. the officer was pointing me out to his collegue n they slowed down in front of me on a busy busy road with no curb. so we were basically stopped on a busy road- blocking off an entire lane- im sorry people of pj!!
mighty embarrasing it was- but i was more scared out of my wits then i was embarrassed of course! the more senior looking officer came up to my window n i immediately passed him my license n id. he was being all officerly and was totally judging me. i did what i had too.. i went all innocent mengade gedik like if i werent desperate i would hit myself.
police man- awk tau awk buat salah ape?
me: tauuu... im sorryyy...
police man: jalan ni busy,.. skrg ni by accident sbb ckp tepon ni...
me: im sorry pakcik... sy salah... tp sy promise sy x buat dah!! promiseee!!
policeman glances at passanger seat n notices my stack of wedding invites
me: sy nk kawen bulan dpn... jgn la saman saye.... *makes a face my cat would scratch if he sees*
police man: ape kene mengene kawen ngn ckp tepon!?
me: *shocked my face tactic didnt work??* mayb its broken...
police man: hah! awk ni nk kawen darah manis ni. jgn bwk mcm ni.. hrmmm... dah... nx time b careful.. jgn ckp tepon sambile drive.. ok jalan.
me: *i still got it!! its not brokenn!! thank u goddddd- and policeman* -thank u pakcik!!! byee :)
ok truth be told.. this is the 4th time i have been stopped for talking on the phone while driving. n i am so thankful that so far my pathetic facial expression has helped me get out of those sticky situations. gets better with practice i reckon. but in all seriousness- i will TRY to cut down on yakking or fb-ing on my phone while driving. stop calling me when im driving plsss!! im trying to b all strong n disciplined and a blinking ringing phone really doesnt help.
have a lovely thursday beautiful!

The storyteller
Everyday i leave for the office at 725am. I use the same road and highway. day in n day out. But on the days where i get the luxury of coming in a bit late, i leave at 830am. This doesnt happen often, so its quite a treat. On days that i leave later, the journey will be different. The sun hurts my eyes a bit more as they hover a lil higher, the traffic surprisingly is always better, and the shouting lady is always at the same spot, rooted to the ground, shouting up to the sky about god knows what. She looks clean n proper. Like if wasnt shouting to the sky, you probably wouldnt even notice her coz she blends in with the crowd like a normal person.
Everytime i see her, she's standing opposite the bus stand, screaming up to the sky, narrating stories and asking questions. i know this because i always roll down the window to listen to her. The 1st time i saw her, i thot she was putting up buntings by the road side. a couple of encounters later, i learned that she's - how do i put this in a polite manner... mentally disturbed? but she doesnt hurt people. in fact she doesnt even seem to notice the people who passes by her. She has quite an audience tho. I guess the people who frequent the bus stand know her pretty well by now. I feel like stopping and talking to her sometimes, get to know her story, what happened to her and who TH is she talking to!?? but of course theres this annoying thing called work... and im kindda scared she might get annoyed and push me into traffic.
So for now ill just look forward to the occasional brushes we might have. With me listening to little snippets of her stories- once she was telling a story about shooting, complete with machine gun action. She will probably never even know me but i wish her well..

38 days to go!
I feel like days are slipping by so quickly now. Its like i blinked and the week has gone by. I have yet to try my dress on again- with my post raya body. As of yesterday, i have reconfirmed my booking with all my make up artists 5 times. I hope i have not irked them too much coz i have 2 more reminders to give them before the big day. I hope they still turn up... i dont wanna have to pull a kate middleton (or kate wellington as mari would say) on my wedding day.
I actually have tonnes to do still but im rather contented sitting on my round tushie and having friendly banters with na who seriously is growing up so fast and she really is her own person! yesterday she insisted on goin to sleep in her baju kurung instead of her pj's. --> lina i understand now y u got your tudung the day before ur wedding... i havent found mine... nor have i the interest to actually start looking for it... n i still dun have a tiara. oh dont judge me! its the only day i can get away with wearing one! and we still have not gotten the keys to our new place. we def have to stay sumwhr for a month or two b4 moving in. he's not keen on staying at my mom's. Im not very happy about staying at his kajang as suggested by his dad. i mean really?? id get lost everyday!! n its really far!! its like a whole other country!!
on a totally unrelated note-
If there was one thing i could change about myself- i would make myself less edgy. Im soooo nervous all the time! n i often times let my imagination run wild. like this morning. jj slept at cyber last night. he used to stay here but he moved to be closer to me :) anyway. he arrived late and it was raining n all but watever. I slept really early coz i fed na her meds n she conked out at 830 n i followed soon after. i spoke to him just before i fell asleep n he was having dinner.
when i woke up the nx morning i called to wake him as per usual. there was no answer. he seldom doesnt pick up my calls but i figured- he must have slept real late lastnite catching up w d boys. so i gave him 10 mins more and called again. stil no answer. i gave him 5 more mins of sleep time- and he stil wasnt pickin up! i was starting to panic by this point n called again. n texted him. n called again. my over imaginative mind kicked in at this point- omg, he's lying in a ditch sumwhr. or omg, he died playing soccer n his friends are all too afraid to tell me. i had visions of his friends standing around his phone, all too afraid to answer it and give me the dreaded news. i go psycho sometimes. forgive me. in the end when he finaly called me 1 hour 41 minutes later- i was naturally livid!! n he knew it! he was being all mousy n nice n i had gone all makcik on him. i HATE it when he doesnt pick up n he knows it! i was all the more upset when i discovered his phone was rite nx to him. grrrrr. so as punishment, he's treating me dinner at a place of my choice tonite. and im making him watch bridesmaids- a true 'pink' chickflick at midnight- knowing he's sleep deprived. and no. he's not allowed to sleep during the course of the entire movie. oh n did i mention he's goin to have to take me out for early breakfast the following day as well?

46 days
So the wedding's in 46 days! im in the midst of sending out the invites and its so frustrating that i cannot invite everybody- the downside of having a sit down wedding dinner. i cannot wait for the wedding to be over. i dont know y im not excited about the wedding itself. im more looking forward to the marriage. i did get a lil excited when passing out invites at the ofc this morning tho. like fuyooohh this is for real! like im telling people yuuhuuuu im getting married y'all!! but in all honesty- this wedding business is pretty draining if u ask me! im just praying hard imma fit into my dress and that i dun trip n fall flat on my face!
i had a falling out w a friend of mine a couple of weeks back. i was hurt by sumthing she sed n she was upset w me for sumtin else. i guess all this wedding frenzy has got all our panties in a twist and dont even get me started on the hormones!! oh myyy!! im so sick of crying at tv commercials! the other day i cried over breakfast while telling jj a story. i hardly ever cry! in fact im always laughing at mama n my sister for being such leaky faucets!
sumtin funny happened last weekend. jj n i had just finished watching a movie, i needed a toilet break so i went to the ladies. while i was goin about doing a number 1. i sat on the throne n went about doing my business. just as i was done, it started raining in my cubicle. were not talking fine sprays of water here no siree!! it was a full blown storm of fat water droplets rain minus the thunder!! picture this. i was on the throne w my jeans around my ankles squinting (for fear of loosing my contact lense) thru the rain trying to find the source of this catastrophe. on second thot- Dont. i hastily put my pants back on all the while wondering if the building was on fire n its the sprinklers that r raining down on me. my carefully blown hair had gone all curly bcause of the sudden downpour. my handbag n shawl were soaked- as was i. then i realised the water source actually came fr d cubicle nx to mine! i went out n stood in front of the door of the leaky cubicle and was ready to give her a good dripping piece of my mind!! a girl in tudung n baju kurung stepped out, took one look at my dripping hair n walked away!!? can u believe it!? she walked away!! i stepped in front of her n went- what happened??!? she started pointing to the faucet n the door n babbled sumtin n just turned on her heels n left! pls note that she was all dry and non frazzled. no apologies whatsoever. what is it w malaysians n apologising. when i was younger my mom wud smack me silly evrytime i forgot to say sorry or thank u or please. ur momma didnt smack u enuf! she left in such a hurry she didnt even wash her hands- rude n dirty. eeew. but it was so hilarious!! i laughed out loud all the way out n cudnt wait to tell jj wat happened. that girl is super rude alright! but it was so funny lah!!
no raya updates from me coz raya was rather subdued. we went back to our new place in kedah n eeee so byk insect its disgusting!! we came back with itches and marks here n there fr the various types of insects that were buffet-ing on us. its a frogs heaven i tell u. i took sum pics of the beautiful view from my room bt as always- have yet to transfer them.
Selamat hari raya y'all!! n maaf zahir batin.
