15th September 2012 @ 28th Syawal 1433



The day has arrived. The 15th 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 makeup kit and of course my 2 amazing dresses for the solemnization and henna night. Kak Lily, the coolest makeup artiste as she never failed to make me laugh and forget my uneasiness and anxiety. I know she tried her best to cheer me up and put the sweetest smile on my face all the time. I really like her a lot and I know I am going to recommend her to all my friends who are getting married to take her as the stress reliever hihi.

Around 8.00, my husband and his family were already downstairs having their dinner before the ceremony. I could feel my heart was beating extremely fast at one time, and stop beating at the other. The tok kadi was supposed to be there around 8.45 as the solemnization was scheduled at 9.00. I thought the tok kadi was purposely to make me even tensed as he did not show up until the clock stroked 9.45 p.m. And right before the solemnization, my future mother in law went into the room to put on the engagement ring and as far as I was concerned, this was not in the plan! But well, at least I got to be in engagement period for few minutes!

As the ceremony began, I was asked to go downstairs and signed a few forms. An aunt whispered to me, make you signature as hard as possible so that the husband cannot copy it to get permission to get married for the second time. I was like whatttt?! Don’t you dare okay, my dear husband! Haha. I think she was just trying to make me smile and calm as I could not hide my nervous face I supposed. So after I signed the form, the tok kadi asked me to go upstairs and prepared a sejadah so that my husband can perform his sujud syukur. I was a bit blurred as I wanted to watch my husband to lafaz the akad and why on earth I had to go upstairs? Ambok gave me an eye sign and asked to me follow the tok kadi’s instructions. The best thing was I did not have to duduk bersimpuh for too long with the nicely fitted dress as this was my major concern since the fitting day. Haha. I think my prayer had been answered and I did not really mind waiting in my cold, air conditioned room comfortably.

So yeah I did not watch my husband lafaz the akad. All I knew was, few minutes after that, he came into the room and performed the sujud syukur. And from that moment, I knew we are ONE. There was no word could describe what I felt as I touched, shook and kissed his hand for the first time in my life. A lifetime promise. InsyaAllah.

2013 in a wrap!

Assalamualaikum people Life has been busy, life has been great All praises to Him for every second blessed with rahmah Alhamdulillah So its 2014 tomorrow. Lets recap what had happened along these amazing months in 2013. January 1. Celebrated my man's birthday for the first time, hundreds kilometers away of course. He was in Kuantan and I was in Johor. 2. Both of us were excited as he got an offer letter to a new workplace in KL, which means, we were getting closer in distance. February 1. During the Chinese New Year Break, we went to Tekam Plantation Resort together with his family. It is a great place for a short getaway from city. It is really cold early in the morning as the place is surrounded by hundreds trees and somehow I felt like I was not in Malaysia. 2. On the 4th February ( SEMSAS 9802), my man is officially working in an oil and gas company in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city. So, good bye to the idea of settling down in Kuantan. Hellooooo KL! In the meantime, we alterna...

Aprilicious 2014

Assalamualaikum people. It has been almost four months since the last post. Life has been easier, and of course tougher due to stuff at work. Being me, it took me quite some time to blend in a new place. May Allah eases everything and I take it as a challenge to myself. I have been too pampered in my comfort zone so yeah. Before I forgot, I would love to jot down few things that happened within this four months of my new adventure of life - as a wife, as a daughter, as a new teacher and as a normal human being. January 1. On the very first day of the year, we had challenged ourselves to go on hiking up to Bukit Tabur. Well, we did not plan that. We just wanted to joinour photographer friend, Syib to take pictures of the new year. He did not tell us the height and the condition of the peak though. Put the blame on us, who were too lazy to google up and read something about it. We were like, emm sounds as easy as Broga Hill, so why not? So yeah, we woke up at 2.30 a.m and met Syib and an...
