selamat hari raya, korang! and i'd like to take this opportunity to seek forgiveness and forget-ness over the mistakes and wrongs i've caused not just within the past year ... but ever since we've known each other, because i know i can be such a bitch most of the time, haven't being able to keep friends for a significant amount of time ... partly because i can be childish, intolerant, inconsiderate, selfish, don't-give-a-fuck and an embarrassment and disappointment to the people around me. i'm truly sorry that i'm such an annoyance and i thank you for putting up with me and for considering me to be a part of your lives.
drama queen. yes, that i am too. sorry.
raya has been quite sombre this year, with the recent passing of tok mak. there were a lot of tears shed, more than usual, coz we really felt her loss. our raya routine has totally made a 360. (although we still managed to go borong some dvds. they were selling them for RM5 this year, so we bought more than the last time we borong. we bought almost 40 dvds). underneath it all everyone was kinda ecstatic anticipating my wedding. those were the main topics this year. tok mak's untimely death and my about-damn-time nuptials.
and this year also marks the last year that i'll be celebrating raya alone with my family. because starting next year, i'll be alternating between Pekan and JB with ayis. how do i feel about that? i dont know ... as for now .. ambivalent. i'll probably post something totally different around this time next year.
the bosses gave us more than a week off for raya. very generous of them. but come monday, we were all really lazy to get our asses back to work. that's what happens to machines after a long break.
wedding preparations were put on hold during the fasting month, because mom was preoccupied with raya cookies. now, its back in gear. the wedding invitations is almost done, but not yet printed. i'm crunching for time.
we've done the HIV blood test. both of us are negative, just in case you're wondering. dad has booked the kadi. the bridal bedroom set has been booked, they'll most probably arrive in november. and the beddings are ready. damn it was hard to look for black pillow cases - thankfully there's always ikea. the stuff for hantaran stuff are almost complete - for both our sides, whatever we could buy here, cheap, we got them. we're gonna have to wait for my grand-aunt to bring home a quran from dubai. and for my cousin to bring some chocolates from perth, which i'm gonna be salivating all over my baju nikah. and speaking of which, my baju nikah, has already been sent for tailoring and our baju bersanding have been booked for rental. i still need to get the shoes. all in all i think we're doing okay as far as preparations go. well for now at least. we'll only know if we're in deep shit a couple of weeks before the big day.
when it's crunch time ... just make yourselves available lah eh, datang mai tolong-tolong apa boleh. potong-potong riben ke. lekat-lekat riben ke. eh? tenkui i love you.
