@ Aranda....

As promised... Here are the pics at Aranda Country Club...

The "monkeys"...

In the "girls" room...

A New....

I am in such a dilemma...

I need a new wallet... But I dunno if I should get an expensive one... Or just a simple one for the sake of keeping my cards in there... Haha!

Saw online, a very nice sweet "pink" wallet from Coach.... which costs $420....

I dunno if I should get it or not.....

Finally... I got home at 1 pm today.
Left office at 12.45 pm after my time-off for 15 min was approved.
I was so sleepy and tired. I just could not sleep last night. Dunno what was wrong.
Was twisting and turning and yet, sleepless.

This is me, in a cab... Making my way home, feeling sleepy....

The moment I reached home, I hit the pillows...For more than 3 hours... Woke up only at 4.45 pm when my sister called to remind me to visit Granny at CGH. After making some plans with Leni, I got ready and made my way to CGH. Granny was hospitalised for asthma. After spending some time there, Leni, Tini and I headed down to East Point to grab some dinner and sat down for a drink at Starbucks....

It has been awhile since we all got together... It was hilarious, thank to Fidzwan, Leni's ehem ehem... Who created lotsa laughter....

Met my best friend, Seha, after that... Forgot to take photos (hahahahahha!). And, now, I am at home blogging at 2:44 am...

I have a facial appointment later at 11:30 am and will be heading to Aranda Country Club at 3 pm to join my colleagues to enjoy a 3-day chalet together.... Will update some photos at the chalet once I am back... See ya!

Honeymoon....

I am seriously trying to figure out where we will be heading to for our honeymoon....
I know, I know...
I still have 6 months to plan...
But, 6 months will pass by very soon....

I seeked opinions from the "experienced" ones....
Got a few recommendations...

1. Banyan Tree
2. Mauritius
3. Bali
4. Australia
5. Hokkaido
6. New Zealand

Both Hubby and myself... We agreed that we will go somewhere very relaxing... Shopping is not in the main itinerary. More importantly, we want to rest and relax... Somewhere peaceful... Away from all the hustles of the city....

Well.... Let me think.....

Looking Far???

Hehe! It looked like I was posing...
As if I was looking far ahead....
Actually, I was watching my niece and nephew playing...
It is just an amused face of mine....
Amused, full of admiration of how their childhood is presently...
So much different from mine...

The photo was taken, a snapshot, without my knowledge...
But it turn out so perfect....

Siti Mariam's Wedding....

It was a hot sunny afternoon...

I was wearing a Vietnamese Kebaya, a lilac one to work this morning...
I know, I know, it's a Saturday....
Reason is...
I promised to attend Mariam's wedding...

That is me at my desk, as usual, cam-whoring....

Hubby's Grumpy face, not enough sleep, I think....

We managed to catch a shot of ourselves, while waiting for the groom to arrive....

Finally...
Presenting....
The Groom and Bride....
Mr & Mrs Najib....

Pst.... Pst... Najib, how many "gantry(s)" did you have to go through???
Heeeeeeeee!

No matter what....
Congratulation to both of you....

Future Plans....

Someone asked me.... "What are my future plans?"....

At this moment, I am concentrating on my current job scope... Since my promotion.... And, my wedding plans...

After my wedding... I plan to...

> Go for a holiday with my Hubby cum honeymoon, which I think we both deserved a very good one...

> Start stabilizing my income again (after all that is spent for the wedding...)

> Complete my initial plan to get my driving license...

> Check out some degree courses and seriously considering taking a part-time degree, with Hubby's permission and support, of course....

> And, not forgetting... Learn to be a housewife cum working career woman cum superwoman... Hahah!

Time is moving....

Time really move fast... Sometimes, I find it hard to catch up...

It's already mid of the year... Well, in my company context, it is already the end of our financial year.... Time to start preparing for our performance appraisals...

OK, I'm not going into details on that...

It is already mid-June, mid of 2008... It seems so fast. I have only less than 6 months to my wedding. Seriously, I never thought that preparing for a wedding would be so tedious. When I planned for my sister's simple "nikah" event, it was not this complicated. Maybe, the scale of the event was different.

Deciding on the "Nikah date" itself is already so hard. Both hubby and myself... We have to accommodate to so many others.... whether it is, from his side or my side. I had initially wanted to just have a"nikah"... But, because, in my family, this is the FIRST wedding event, I finally decided to have a wedding reception, just a simple one will do. Both hubby and I wanted to have a combined reception, but, after much deliberation and discussion, we decided to have a separate one...

Now, deciding on the "Nikah date"..... We hope the date we chose, will not cause any inconvenience to anyone... We seek the understanding of all. We tried to accomodate to the best interests of all sides....

Headaches...

I have been plagued with headaches and back pain these days... shows that I'm getting old.I can't seem to keep up at night. I used to be such an night owl. I could stay up all night and still work the next day. But, now... By mid-night, my eyes would start drooping already.

My friends recommended me so many thing... A friend recommended Kacip Fatimah... hahahha! I thought that was for married women... My sister encouraged me to start an exercise regime (as if I have all the time in the world for that). Another friend recommended vitamins and such... Wow! Never thought there could be so many ideas all coming at the same time.

I appreciate all the ideas and the concern... I think all I need now is some rest... proper rest... guess, all the late nights in my younger days are just getting to me now...

And, the fact is... I am getting on in years... I am already in my late twenties... reaching my BIG THREE... wel... age is definitely catching up with me...

For all we know, I'd be a grandma soon enough.... hahahhaha! OK, what am I spouting here??? Well, it would be another late night for me... I have an agenda to prepare.... Work is never-lasting....

Well, I went to the PC show yesterday... Argh! It all seems irresistable... I feel like buying every single thing... haha! I was so tempted to get an LCD TV to replace our flat screen one at home but after much consideration and reminders from my colleague about my upcoming wedding... I simply brushed off the thought.

After walking around for awhile, i saw an advertisement... "Express Shoulder Massage - 10 minutes - $10"....

This, unfortunately, I CANNOT resist as my shoulder was still aching... So, I dropped in and requested for Double 10 instead... which means my shoulder massage is for 20 minutes instead of 10 minutes... Cool! I was tempted to continue with a foot massage but because, I had something on later on, I had to give that a miss... It was such a good shoulder massage.....

Me.... A Robot???

The past few days... I feel like robot... Mainly because, I can't turn to the right or left. Arghhh!
I strained my neck and my back. The doctor said that I am having muscle spasms.... She only gave me some muscle relaxants and painkillers, after which, I will end up feeling groggy.

I was hoping that it would only last a day. It has been 3 days, and the pain did not go away... My friends recommended cold treament, to try using ice or heat treatment, done and tried but just don't work. Last resort is a massage.... We'll wait and see....

But right now... I am only using the warm patch I bought from Guardian Pharmacy... Quite relieving.... At least I can sleep better....

Should I? Or Should I not???

Has anyone felt this way? You know the truth abt a lie someone said to a person closest to you... Would you tell that person the truth? Or just let him or her go on being lied to....?

It is hard for me, cos, each time I see "her", I really want to open my mouth and just blabber on and on abt what I heard, what I know and all those lies he has been telling her... But, will she believe me? Or will she insist on believing the LIAR?

Should I? Should I not?....

Making a Comeback...

Last week, I received a SMS from some old friends... (not literally"old") but, as in we have been friends since the age of 13 yrs old.

Well, the sms was about us making a comeback in the dikir barat scene... To re-open back the group we used to have gone through a lot together for the upcoming competition...

Hoping to have all the pioneer batch back together as a reunion and going through this competition together, just like old times... Heard, the response wasn't great. Mainly, cos' all of us have grown up and are leading our own busy lives withour own commitments towards marriage, family and job. I guess, the priorites in our lives are different.

Initially, I was very excited and tempted to say "yes". However, after being assigned a new project at work last Friday and after a discussion with my fiance, the rational side of me had to make a decision. I do not wish to make a promise or a commitment which is almost impossible. As it is now, I work more than 12 hours at times. I can reach the office at 7.30 am and leave the office close to 9 pm... At the same time, I am also preparing for my wedding and of cos, not to mention, to spend time at home as a part-time maid on weekends (hehe!) and to spend time with my family.

So, finally, yesterday... With such reluctance, I replied to my friend that I am unable to join the group to make the comeback. It may sound disappointing but I know I have to make this decision.

I'm so sorry, my friends... I had to let you all down.... But, if you all are really making the comeback... My full support will definitely be with you.... SRW will always stay in my heart, forever!

.....Seriring jalan.... sepanjang persaudaran.....
