1st October 2012 I always love Cameron Highland. The first and the only time I went there was last 2011, during a student fieldtrip. I love the coldness. I love the greenness. I love the fresh air. I love the serenity. This is the closest I can get to New Zealand after Kundasang. So yeah, having my wedding photography session in Cameron Highland is always my dream. Alhamdulillah, one of my dreams comes true. Thank you husband! 1 st October. A day after the Lipis reception, I started the day with talking with Mak in the kitchen. We talked a lot since this was the first time we had a real conversation. Hehe. Around 8 plus, my husband asked me to get ready for our next agenda – outdoor photography session in Cameron Highland.  I love everything about our ride going up the highland – the view, the serenity, the feeling I felt, and of course the person who was driving. Hihi. It was just so sad to see the deforestation activities around the hills. It was frustrating that I...

The 30 th September We love 15 so much that we decided to have the Lipis reception 15 days after our nikah day. So, on the 29 th September, the first 2 cars – Triton with ambok umi and cik dalek – City with Ica zahdah and yours truly, started the journey to Bibik’s house in Bangi. My husband was from Kuantan, so we decided just to meet there in Bangi. Before slept, Radiah managed to put on some henna on my hands. Anyway, next morning, we were all set to Kuala Lipis for the first time except for my husband of course. We led the convoy and we had to drive very slowly as there were 5 cars altogether.  Again, I hate the nervous feeling and I tell you what, this time was even worse. Haha. I know I should not feel this way but even my 2-weeks-old-husband can read it straight away from my face. He asked me to chill and relax as this time, the people would not be as many as our first reception.  Honestly, I was nervous as I would be meeting all his family members and r...

20th September 2012 After 6 days of spending days together, it was time for him to go back. I never knew I would be that sad. Like seriously. All these while, I was very confident that I was going to be alright as we used to be in a long distance relationship for quite some time. So I tell myself this was nothing. Plus, we are going to meet again on his side of reception in just a week time. So, again, I said to myself, this was nothing. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Totally wrong. I did not even know why on earth I felt that way. Haha. It was like since when I became so mengada? Ok I know I am always be the most mengada-ngada one, but this was too much I reckoned. Haha. So I had learnt my lesson, sending off your husband to somewhere for the first time is not as easy as you think. Especially when he left supersweet thing like this :

Malaysian Day 2012. 16 th September 2012 was the reception day. I woke up with the abundance feeling of gratitude, of finally being someone’s wife. We had burasak for breakfast, but I still did not have the feeling to eat. Not even a single bit of burasak. I should not be that nervous as the nikah ceremony went well last night. But, thinking that there would be more people coming today, made me a little bit more nervous.  Around 11am, our house was getting flooded with people. It was so much fun to see many faces that you longed to meet. I was touched to see everyone who came to my wedding. I could see all friends – from primary school, high school, ppou, palmy family and Hamilton family – were all there to celebrate the joy. Not to forget my colleagues and my students who were also there. One of the colleagues, Kak Zai was even met with a small accident in Pekan Nenas where her City was hit. Thank god everything was okay including her car which turned to original condition ...

The day has arrived. The 15 th September 2012. Saturday. I woke up for Fajr, and smiling of course, knowing this would be the last day of me being a single. Hani whatsapped me letting me know that she and her sister were already in Larkin and will be headed to Pekan Nenas right after they had their breakfast there. And her last text was “dah elun da. Pi solat subuh terakhir sebagai single lady haha!” hihi. She always knows how to make me smile. The house was already filled with closest relatives and they were busy preparing lunch. For once, I was grateful as I did not have to involve in any food preparation as it was very tedious and tiring for sure. Haha. I think that was one of the best part of being the bride. As the time passing by, more people came to help. After the Zuhr prayer, Yana and Hani were trying to decorate the henna on my hands. Excited and nervous at the same time. It was few hours till the akad. Around 6.50 the makeup artiste was here together with her ma...
