Hello there!


Ooohh I've definitely come back unscathed by everything.. No worries. It's all okay now! Sometimes ignorance is bliss~


So what have I been up to? So far, I've attended a couple of open houses for Raya, 2 weddings and a karaoke nite with my maternal cousins. That's about all. And Raya visiting has officially stopped. Hang up my baju kurung already! Now I believe it's the start of the wedding season...


Anyway, here are some of the pictures....More of them are in my Multiply..



Raya Visiting



Wedding

Karaoke Nite

Selamat Hari Raya!

And so this is my 1st eventful hari raya with my husband. How was it? Very eventful! Yup celebrating it for the 1st time at another house. Nope I did not cry. In fact I enjoyed it very much. Told Andy that I don't think I am ready to move to a new house all by ourselves. Yes you heard me right, I think I enjoy staying with my MIL. For the 1st time ever also, I followed my MIL for Aidilfitri prayers. Very syahdu la. Cause, for this raya, there's alot of firsts for me. Heh!

On to a different thing now, why is it that we all are prejudiced towards men who earn less than their wife? Earning less than their wife does not equate to them being less responsible towards their family. Afterall husbands are the family heads.

Why is it that only during Hari Raya we ask for forgiveness? Why not on any other days when we have realised that we have made mistakes? You mean only during Raya then you ask for forgiveness for all the mistakes you've done for the past year? And then repeat the same mistakes the following day? Does that make us hypocrites then?

Are parents necessarily right? Are they always right? Are they never wrong? I am confused. What are the responsibilities of married women towards their own parents ? Who's their first priority? Husband or own parents? High expectations on children will make children feel as if a huge boulder has been put on their shoulders. Soon, that boulder will become a burden they carry throughout their life. And soon, that boulder will also turn to become a disappointment for the parents. Is that fair then? Oh heck, life is unfair.

I am not in the right state of mind now. Things are pretty awful for me now. As I say, life is unfair. What do you expect? I am now hitting the bumps, potholes, cracks and whathaveyous in my journey of life. Thus, I am badly bruised now. Will return when I am partially recovered.

Till then!

Hello...let me just give a super brief update.

Been missing for quite some time now. Life's a bitch for me during the past few weeks, say when I contracted chicken pox. Yeah that's the root. After that, the husband had to do his reservist for 17 days in which he only came back for the 1st week of his reservist leaving the rest of his 12 days for me to sleep alone. Not exactly alone as I had to bunk in with Nana at my mum's place. Then immediately after reservist, with no breaks in between the husband started work. And for the past 2 weeks or so, he has been coming home at 1am!!!!

I miss him terribly! We have not been spending time! By the time he comes back from work, I'd be sleeping. The only time to catch him is in the morning. But both of us are not 'morning' people, you know. And I have not been exactly a patient wife. Cause, I miss him so much, I decided to throw a few random tantrums here and there. So, yeah the only free time we have, we spend it fighting and arguing.

As I had mentioned, I had contracted chicken pox from Nana. Funny thing is none of my family who are actually in the same house as her, contracted chicken pox. I did not even stay in the same house and yet I got it. Fyi, that's the 2nd time I had chicken pox. It was a killer chicken pox! To-date, I am still trying to heal the pock marks on my face!

Oh congrats to Naini for the birth of your daughter! I will come visit you this Sunday.

Congrats also to Samad for obtaining your Class 3 licence. Finally, finally me and Andy can retire lor from driving. Its high time we would like to be driven instead of driving.

I leave you guys with some photos taken on National Day.

I am back. Back from no where.

A little brief update of me. I have officially moved to Woodlands. And I have finally, finally shifted my stuffs to Woodlands. I just realised I have a whole lot of junk in 1 room. Yes, I had 2 huge luggages, 1 hand-carry luggage bag, 2 large plastic bags, 4 medium-sized boxes and to top it off, I had to hand carry all my baju kurung. Hahaha. Those are all my stuffs only. None of Andy's. Isn't that a whole lot of junk, don't you think so?

I have also been busy with work since I have started my tutoring sessions. By the time I reached home, I'd be too tired to do anything already. The days that I don't teach, I will do the laundry. Errm, how come laundry are never-ending housework?

On a whim, I've cut my hair very short. I was trimming my eyebrows. Somehow or rather, after trimming my eyebrows I decided to just cut my hair short and went to the hairdresser. It was totally impromptu. Mind you, I actually had a hair cut about 2 - 3 weeks prior to that impromptu visit. I should have just had my hair cut short to the current length now during that very 1st visit to the hairdresser. Heh!

Will update again soon! Yes, yes very soon!

Hey morning!!!

Am now at Woodlands. Been staying here since Tuesday. It was a very last minute decision on Andy's part to stay Woodlands. We were supposed to send my sister to Yishun that Tuesday night, and after sending her to Yishun, we went straight back to Woodlands. Nearer for us to go back. Hahaha

What's the feeling like staying at mum-in-law's place? Very free with nothing to do. There's only 4 of us in the house including myself. My brother-in-law is hardly at home. Mum-in-law is working till 6pm. Myself and Andy will reach home around 8pm. There's no kids at home so house is always very kemas. Basically, I don't have to vacuum or mop the house everyday. Just washing of the dishes after dinner. I just have to wash my laundry every 2 days. I started out washing my laundry every morning before I go off to work but my mum and Andy told me there is no need to wash your laundry every day. It's not like I am a family of many many children. Heh!

Did you know last Wednesday I made a very silly mistake? I woke up early coz Andy has to wake up at 6am. And since it's the MIL's house, I had to be an exemplary wife and daughter-in-law so I woke up as well. After Andy went off to work, I had a few hrs to spare and hence I decided to wash my laundry. Filled up the water, pour in the detergent and put in my clothes and voila, the washing machine should just start right? But no, the washing machine stayed quiet. Nothing happened. No spinning and no drying!

I called up Andy to ask him what's wrong with the washing machine but he offered me a very stupid solution. Leave the clothes in the washing machine and he will do the laundry when he comes back from work later. I definitely could not do that because my clothes are already soaked with water and the detergent in the washing machine. I possibly can't leave them like that till evening. My clothes will stink!!!! After hanging up the phone, I decided to try again to start the washing machine and that is when I realised I have not plugged the socket to the power point. So obviously washing machine cannot work!!! How bimbo can I be? Inilah kes anak dara yang tak masuk dapur. It was such a bimbotic moment hokay.

Putting that bimbo incident aside, staying in Woodlands has its advantages. I am never late for work. I reach my office between 8.40 to 8.50am. I still have time to queue up at Mr Soya Bean to get breakfast. Oh speaking of breakfast, did I tell you, my MIL has been making me breakfast since Wednesday? Wednesday, she made jemput2 for me, Thursday, she made bread with nutella, Friday, she made french toast. I was quite flattered but at the same time segan also. Haha. Do I sound like a pampered daughter-in-law? Andy says I do, cos Andy did not get breakfast last time. Hmmm, I am guilty of not making him breakfast also. Heh!

Anyway, I am now waiting for my elder sister to wake up. I promised her I would fetch her from Yishun and then we go to our mum's place together. I can't believe I am doing this. Weekends visiting my mother. As of now, I have not missed home yet except for my cat, Wiwit. Wiwit is like my bantal busuk. Even if my mum calls me up at work, I'd ask for Wiwit. Not as if she can talk.

I also realised I need to be back at Woodlands by 5pm to attend a solemnisation of a neighbour here in Woodlands. I should have not promise my sister anything. But what's done cannot be undone. I am still trying to successfully upload all my pictures in Multiply. My patience is wearing thin and I am on the verge of giving up. However, since I have nothing to do I shall simply wait and do this slowly.

Till then...

Dear Husband,

Did you realize that during the weekends I was angry with you? I doubt so. After all, I talked to you in my normal tone. I chatted with you happily and I did not even show you my sour face. So I guess you have absolutely no idea how mad I am with you. Oh you have also no idea how confused your wife is. I am angry with you but ironically I am still able to talk to you normally. Surprise, surprise, I did not even pass sarcastic remarks to you or perhaps my sarcasm was very subtle for you to hardly even notice it?

I am mad with you because you left me alone with your family to attend wedding receptions of your distant cousin while you went to attend your friend’s wedding and you made me wait for you alone at your grandma’s house for like 2 hours? I felt so awkward and weird. I don’t mind waiting for you at your mum’s house but this is your grandma’s house!!! And that was the 1st time I went to your grandma’s house as your wife! I hope you don’t do this to me again. Anyway, I thanked you for allowing me to bond with my in-laws. Haha. Despite that I still had fun with your mum aka my MIL, your aunts, your uncles and your grandma.

I am also mad with you because I did not get to go out with you on Saturday night. Yes, call me petty but I was actually looking forward to going out with you that Saturday after the wedding dinner. I did not even mind a trip to Mustafa or a trip to Macdonalds at Ang Mo Kio but I definitely mind staying at home watching the tv alone while you slept like a log! I know I had to be at Jurong East by 9am but still it’s Saturday night, for goodness sake! And it’s the Great S’pore Sale…. Ok, I have to admit I was looking forward to checking out the sale and do a bit of shopping, which you hate doing but we have not been going out. It’s all work during the week. And, when are you bringing me to Serene Centre for my pulut hitam ice cream?

Can we go Serene Centre tonight? Or can we have fondue at Beach Road? Or Arnolds Chicken? Puh-leassssssse…..

Why am I not able to post my photos in Multiply? It's taking such a long time. I have been trying to upload my photos since this morning but I received no response at all. Hmmph!

I am already not in the best of mood. To worsen things, my office PC is also not in the best of mood. This is frustrating. I have not been typing any letters for my boss. Haha. I hope he understands that his assistant is PMS-ing. Of course, I am not telling him I am PMS-ing! I am blabbering nonsense. Oh I also realised that both parties do not need to have a webcam to msn at the same time. My sister can have a webcam but I can still view her live in action although I do not have one!!!! Yeay!!! She's in Hong Kong now for a 6 weeks training to become a cabin crew with CX airline.

To-date, I still cannot put up my HK photos in Multiply. Gawd!

I must be kidding to actually blog twice in a day!!!!

Did you know that yesterday was my 1 month wedding anniversary? Initially I wanted to have a mini celebration with the husband but unfortunately he came home late from work, so my plan for a fondue dinner date had to be cancelled. Cos, by then, the fondue stall at Beach Road would have been closed.

And did you know, last weekend, I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience of becoming a wedding driver. Saying this right, I should also start thinking of renting out myself or the husband to be wedding driver. I should also include my car as well as the car decor too! The husband was not able to take leave for the solemnisation which was on Saturday so I had to replace his duty. It was easy la. I just have to pick up the groom from Woodlands, drive him to Masjid An-Nur at Marsiling and then drive back the newly weds to Yishun for the reception. And my job is done!

After attending the wedding, we went to fetch Fizah & Samad from KKH to have our dinner at Adam Corner. Someone was craving to have bubur taiwan. Thereafter, myself and the husband went shopping at Tampines Mall & Century Sq to get his jeans and belt, since the GSS has just started. I seem to be shopping every week, which is bad. Super bad! I still have not recoup my losses from my HK shopping trip.

Following that, I followed the husband to his friend's chalet at Changi, which I totally did not enjoy. I don't know this friend of him. If I do not know his friend, I also do not know the wife. I am not arrogant or proud or choosy. I mean sometime, you simply don't click with some people, don't you? Hey I do exchange numbers with my husband friends' respective partners ok. By nature, I am friendly and easy-going and talkative and just me. We do occasionally arrange (without our respective bf/fiance/husband knowing)to meet up together or simply keep in touch. That's how friendly, am I not? But sometime, its not possible to do so if the person does not reciprocate (did I get the spelling right?). Can I say we don't have chemistry? Or is it too early to tell? Right, let's skip this. Anyhow we ended the night late. We only reached home at about 2.30am. Itupun I have to like bug him cos the next morning, it's his turn to be the driver.

We spent our Sunday at Salimin and Asiah's wedding reception at Yishun. It was a joyous celebration and simply touching and perfect. After the wedding, I bugged the husband to go out with me to NTUC to look for some food to munch. Somehow or rather, we ended up at Toa Payoh and watched "Congkak" instead. That show, is funny although scary. It's funny in a silly kind of way. The 1st horror movie that I laughed and dare to watch. I can't see the hantu's face, that is why I dare enough to watch it. Haha.

Anyway, enjoy the pics of the wedding!! I just realised that I did not take a photo of the wedding car!! So sayang!!!

Oh hello there!

I am back with a new status in life. Married. 7 long years of courtship and finally, a whole new life for the both of us. Alhamdullilah! And here I would like to thank you Zam, our mutual friend for being our match-maker. Heh!

Our wedding was superb! Perfect! Alhamdullilah everything went on smoothly for both days. It was more then what I have expected. To my guests, thank you for gracing our big day. Our heartfelt appreciation to my décor and caterer, Puteri Wedding & Décor, the ones who prettify me, FM Wedding Gallery and Zul Radi Bridal Couture, our baju nikah, Maniq, the wonderful pictures, Absolut Photography & Clic! Photography, the video, Shooterz Unlimited, the tarian and kompang from Sriwana, the dikir barat from Andika, my parents, my mum-in-law, my sisters, my brother-in-law, my friends aka VIPs who had the honour to sit with us at the dining table, Yan, the best man and my relatives and everyone else. I am also glad everyone enjoyed the wedding. To tell the truth, I was itching to go down where the real action was, i.e. at the guests’ tables instead of sitting at the dias. Usually, my friends are the ones at the dias, and I will be the one who is busy being their runner however at my own wedding, the roles were reversed. It was definitely a dream wedding! I could not have asked for more. Wedding pictures are up in my multiply and my younger sister’s multiply.

I have pretty much settled down being his wife. We are still on cloud nine (i.e. still honeymoon-ing, all lovey-dovey, all mushy, etc) and insya-allah will always be. I know along the ways, there will be bumps and hiccups and all but we will definitely take all these in our stride. Haha, we had our 1st petty argument last night, over the DVD player!!! That is part and parcel of life, after all.

We have both started working after 1 month’s break for the wedding. Nope, we did not go for a honeymoon. We honeymoon-ed in Singapore instead by going out on dates. We had movie dates, lunch dates, dinner dates, breakfast-in-bed dates etc etc. Oh did I tell you that I had to leave my husband behind for my 6-days company trip to HongKong after just 3 days of being newly-weds? Before the wedding, I was all excited for my HK trip, however after the wedding, I was dreading the HK trip. If I knew this was going to be the case, I would have dragged him along. I missed him like crazy when I was in HK. Called him everyday. Oh, oh HK trip was still a blast despite me missing my husband. I burst my wallet and husband’s wallet!!! Heh!!

Currently, I am now shuttling between my house in Hougang and MIL’s house in Woodlands. My clothes, toiletries, shoes and bags have been divided into these 2 houses. I’ve slept (4 nights) over at Woodlands twice in the past 1 month. It was awkward. It was weird. But it was still nice. Am adapting.

I will update here from now on. The previous blog is now defunct. Something happened before the wedding and it was such a mess.

Ps. Since last week, my Sundays are all scheduled for wedding invitations. Tomorrow we will be busy helping out at a friend’s wedding. Finally, in the action again. Eh perhaps, I should set up a wedding planner company huh?

See ya soon.
