Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale ♥ Correction: Today, tomorrow is my fairytale :)

Marriage Central's tips for love to work: Go on a 2nd or even 3rd honeymoon. Done that! ;) Our honeymoon fund's never full! And yet we're thinking of many more destinations to explore :D

Let's pack our bags And lie on the easy stream Feel the water on our backs Where we can carry on dreamin' Where we can finally Be where we'd like to be Darlin', just you and me Just you and me ♥

I feel blessed. Actually blessed is arguable. But I shall not argue with the fact that I'm lucky. Here's counting my lucky stars: I am married. Something I thought was just a dream cos of the lack of potential guys I'd meet in my industry. Who would've thought I'd be married to the most wonderful husband in the world, who loves me much more than I love myself. I have truly struck gold to have his heart ;) We own our little flat for over a year now :) We're lucky to get it at a time where prices were just about to rise, so our housing loan is kinda low unlike prices now. I can even afford not to work! Haha! I LOVE my parents. The most understanding, frank, and practical parents. There's nothing more I could ask from them. I have a stable job. With bosses that care. Can't thank them enough for offering me the telecommuting arrangement! I've never been really that stressed about school. Work, maybe. Generally I lead a stress-free life. Hence the

Every night I refuse to sleep, for it's like time wasted. Time I can spend talking to you. But then I am not working London hours unlike a friend in banking. If only there's no such thing as a time zone. Haha. And weddings! I'm getting sick of attending weddings alone. When I'm not supposed to be alone. I love attending dear friends' weddings. But it's kinda incomplete for me cos I get reminded of my own wedding, and when I want to reminsce, the most important person isn't beside me. Weddings, especially solemnisations are happy and special moments I want to share with The Husband. I hope the next wedding I can come as a couple. I can't wait for The Husband to come home. Anyway!! Today is Ad's wedding. Love it :) Finally he got married! Truly very happy for him :) The adhoc family grows! Hehe. And now it's five and a half years and counting... Time flies! :) Hope we can all stay one whole big family for many more years to come!

I am missing Other Half terribly. It's barely a week since we've parted. Still more weeks ahead before he comes home :( The event over the three days made it worse. Conferences like those are the kind I would most definitely want him to be around. To discuss with, to clarify. Ideas or thoughts I feel most comfortable discussing with him. There were quite a few terms which I wasn't so sure of too. And at yesterday's finale event, colleagues brought spouses. A colleague pointed to the door and said "my wife's coming!", beaming with pride. I really wished The Husband would come through that door too. Waiting for you impatiently, The Wife

I'm back in Singapore. Flight was okay, I was seated in between two men who luckily are thin. Food was from an Indian company. The dessert for dinner was AWESOME. Something called Pista Kheer. It was delicious! At first I was jealous cos the non-halal food got Strawberry Truffle. But the Kheer was delicious! And something new! Breakfast was bleargh though. Singapore is more humid than London. My face was super red when I got out of the airport. Didn't help that the plane wasn't cold at all. Met family :) Nice to see them again after so long, though it didn't feel long. I miss Other Half :( I miss disturbing him. And seeing him smile. And hearing his laugh. I miss everything I do with him. Which is practically everything :D I shall not cry. He's coming back soon :)

Very fast. It has been the longest allowed stay here given to me. 114 days. 3 months 22 days. Tomorrow is Day 114. Time flew by. We have had such an amazing time, the longest time we've been living together since we got married. How we've grown accustomed to each other. I don't want to leave Other Half. Again :'( It wrecks your heart to think would he take care of himself well, what if he falls sick, what if he needs company. It wrecks my heart even more because this is the third time we're parting. I hope he returns home safely to me and we can live happily ever after together , the faster the better. Amin.

Very good holiday :) Feels kinda weird to be back at home after a week of walking around a lot. And when I walk a lot and get thirsty, there's no appetite to eat. Now I feel fat and lazy. The kitchen is just a stretch away! Munch munch. I have a stupid headache. Sian. I think it's the result of staring so intently (and frowning too) at the laptop watching two episodes of CSI back to back. I think I need the green pastures, large homely German country-side houses and fat brown & white cows back. I love the view. And good for the eyes too. Anyway! I wanted to say I is touched! Haha :) One, dearest Shez sent me 2 long smses asking me if I'm okay cos I haven't messaged her for a couple of days. So sweet! I thought it was my mum messaging me, so I went back to sleep thinking I'll reply later. Two! Juni misses me while I was away from Internet. Haha. And an all-time sweetie, Other Half. He was so sweet to have offered to help out with housework yesterday :) He

This is me when Other Half is mugging for exams. A very bored and abandoned bratty baby and always seeking attention. But! Tomorrow marks the end of exam! WOOHOO!!

I was blog hopping and came across this: HAHAHAHHA best wedding invite ever! 10 points for the mother-in-law!!

I love feeding the husband. HAHAHAHA. And I especially love it when he says it's delicious, and he shows it be having second helpings, licking his fingers and savouring. I feel so accomplished! :) The only problem is that the dish isn't enough to last the next meal when actually I cooked it for both lunch and dinner. Haha! But no matter :) It's awesome that he appreciates my cooking heehee. I aim to be at least as good as my mum. Getting the hang of cooking already. I should be okay I guess :) Or I could just ring my mum if I need any other recipe. Heh. Have been trying a couple of Malay dishes without referring to any recipe or my mum, and so far they turn out okay. Maybe some tweaks here and there :) It's true, a man's heart is through his stomach. And I'm glad I found my way to his. Now we just have to watch out weight... Hahaha

It's a boring, boring day. And gloomy too. I can't decide if gloomy's better than sunny. The sun here's quite bad, and it's not even summer yet. Too glaring! And hermit me spends most of the time in this small little room, maybe my eyes have been too accustomed to the lighting in the room instead. When I go out it's like a vampire in the sun. But seriously! It's bad sun here! At least in Singapore there's clouds to cover the sun. Luckily today and yesterday, it's gloomy and raining after many days of sun. Well the trees need water too once in a few weeks. Thinking of getting a pair of sunglasses since I forgot to bring mine. Went to a shop yesterday, didn't seem to have many frames to choose from :s And a lot of them are narrow! How to fit a wide, huge face like mine! Some of the frames I tried, the nose bridge didn't even sit on my nose. It was hanging. Bleah. Feeling pukish again. The air? Or staring too much into the computer? Or my po

I don't know why but I feel cheated when I listen to Aku Cinta Aku Rindu and Makin Aku Cinta. I love duets. These two songs, they were written when the singers were life partners, thus I feel that the songs are extra sweet compared to duets sung by non-couples. Very sweet lyrics, easy to relate to. BUT. Since learning of BOTH couples' divorces, I don't like the songs anymore. Call me weird, but yeah. It does have an effect. It's like, "ah what a lie!" And whatever they sang is not true anymore :( Never mind. I still have my two favourite duets, the most played songs in my iTunes. They were a couple in the movie and in real life, but dunoe if they're still together. But it's Hollywood, a little different. They change partners too often. Plus, they have their on-screen persona that didn't break up. Sugary sweet relationship. HAHA. Very Disney. I can live with that. Haha!

I saw this cute elderly couple on the way to the mosque (HAHA macam lah the mosque is so far away), and when I was going back to office, met them again at the lift. The wife and I were in the lift going to the basement, and at the first floor, she saw her husband outside, just bought lunch from the usual Friday vendors. She waved and smiled at him, he saw and quickly ran to the lift in his kain pelikat just before the lift door closes. Cute lah I tell you. The pakcik was smiling while running. Then they went back home riding their scooter, the wife's hands round the husband's waist. I love to see elderly couples going places and doing things together, happy and in love. I wanna grow old like that with Other Half too. Bliss I tell you :) The scooter ride triggered my memory. Our scooter ride. Langkawi, by the shore. Sunset :) We'll do that again k? ♥

Alrighty!! I'm gonna be matron of honour TWICE this year! Yeah! I is very very touched! And excited! Weee!!! So that's three times being bridesmaid!! :) Can't wait! :) Yup it's matron and not maid. Because maid of honour only applies to unmarried bridesmaids. But matron soooo OLD. Like Madam. Oh well. Matron of honour reporting for duty duties!

First entry of 2010! Should I do the rather mandatory reflections of 2009? On the top of my head, I can't remember much of 2009 except that I got married. Either nothing much happened, or I really have goldfish memory. Hahaha. Or too much happened and I don't want to remember them. Oh yeah! We bought out house :) But that comes with the wedding of course. Still thinking what we should do with the flat. Haha! Slowly lah hor. Marriage :) To the sweetest and most caring and loving man that I can never ever comprehend why I deserve such a gem. Let me count... Almost five months already! Isn't that fast! We're still honeymooning, aren't we darling? Hehe. Just came back from a lovely trip to Andalucia! Great start to the new year eh. 2010 will be, hmm, how shall I put it, unpredictable? I just hope that it's all for the best, and like every beginning of the year, let's hope it'll be better than the previous. We'll see how it turns out. What I do k

Bored me was going through fotos on the fb. And I came across this particular one, brought back memories :) Macaaam lah lama sangat but it's less than two years. Haha! This is nostalgic :) I miss this. The closeness! And easy accessibility ;) How I'd look to see if you're there or not. The passing-passing :p I really miss this place, or rather, the setting.

Attending other people's nikah reminds me of my own :) Sadly, the past two solemnisations I attended, Other Half couldn't be present. It would be sooo much more meaningful if he were here. Yesterday's solemnisation was touching. Firstly, our dearest colleagues got married! Budak Taufiq tu dah kawen! Hehe! I am so happy for them :) Secondly, the bride cried. You can just go "awwww!!". I thought I'd cry during my solemnisation, but I didn't. Of course I was a bit blur, I don't really know what's going on, even the mak andam and my friends noticed. I was in my happy, tune humming mood as I walked to the dais for the ceremony. It was such a joyous occasion for me (joyous much more than solemn), you can say that I was almost drunk-merry! Heh :p And partially the fact that Other Half and I didn't see each other for the few days before that made the day more exciting :) It's been over three months now. Married to the most amazing guy ever, as clic

It is not Hari Raya without you. I want to stay at home and rot.
