A Purple Affair: The Engagement

22 February 2012

Finally, the day that I have been waiting for came and ended. It was a bittersweet moment all the hard work put in to make the day go as perfectly as possible, paid off. All the chocolate houses, the gift sets, the hampers and other gifts, had been laid out nicely on the tray to bring over to the girl. Sooo many chocolates, a year supply of it. Good luck finishing them, Huda.


On that actual day, it was very busy, there was so much to do as we have his aunts and uncles and guests coming over. The food came in the morning and I was too busy doing things to even eat. Haha, I wanted everything to be laid out perfectly and the food that his aunts brought over, to be arranged out nicely for everyone to eat. The brownies, I must say was so delicious! So, as I said it was a very busy day, it really was, and I try as much to help his mum out where I can as his mum was busy entertaining relatives and guests. Relatives brought in dulang as well to hand over to the girl, so we pretty much had lots of trays to carry, it was very pretty, and yes, we are very proud of the hard work put in to it. At about 3.30 pm, we headed to the girls place laid our items and took some pictures. I of course had in mind the tray that I wanted to carry. Once we reached the Huda's place, we went in to take some pictures with her. Huda is indeed very beautiful. Our theme colour was purple, and hers is red and orange. So, here I go posting some pictures.

So, congratulations to Huda and Shafiq on your engagement! His aunts keep teasing next will be my turn. But not quite yet. The next big event is Kak Aisyah and Abang Hafiz's wedding! Yeah, yeah, I get excited over little things!


Hope you all are having a nice weekend. I spent my Sunday washing my clothes (2 weeks worth of clothes not washed as I was lazy), cleaned up my room a bit and a whole lot of resting! So, how did you spend your weekend?


Till then,

XOXO

Fault In Our Stars, Divergent, Carrie.

Hello everyone, how are you all doing this fine day? Good I hope? Recently, I have been into reading books. I have stopped reading for quite some time, I got too busy to read(excuses, excuses), which is pretty sad as I loved reading. The last book that I read, I am still halfway through reading and I have been on that book since middle of last year. It was the book Wicked. Yeah, that was how long I stopped reading. But, I am getting back on it, hopefully, to finish that book that I halfway read

Everyone has been talking about a book called The Fault In Our Stars. I am choosy with books as I don't really read a lot nowadays. So, I decided go give Fault In Our Stars a try, and I freaking teared up at the end of the book. Like, all these sad emotions just comes and there you go, crying over a book. Well, I pretty much expected this to happen before even starting to read the book. It was an emotional read. And now, I found out they were making a movie out of the book, yes, I know I'm a bit lacking behind. So I went on what you call a place for videos, YouTube, to watch this trailer, which I regret doing so, as I know very well that I am an impatient person. I can't wait to watch the movie. So much anticipation here. I hope the movie is as good as the book itself. I'm a simple person, so no matter how bad the movie is, I will still think that it's a good movie. They really follow the lines from the book, which made me smile throughout the trailer itself. The thing that I can't forget from the book is when Augustus Waters told Hazel Grace about the PET scan. He lit up like a Christmas tree. Sigh, my heart just sank when I read that line. I know, The Fault In Our Stars is definitely going to be good. I can feel it. Anyway, Shailene Woodley will star in the movie as well, so how can you not watch it. I love her in Secret Life, though as annoying as her character that she plays in is, she is a good actress. Which then brings me to Divergent. I told you, so much anticipation. I seriously cannot wait for Divergent. And no, I have yet to read the book, but I'm on it. Will get the book when I can.

I watched Carrie few days ago and let me tell you, it was good. See, I told you I am a simple person. I have seen bad reviews about the movie, but I really like it. And I saw a familiar face, the guy that was going to play Augustus in the movie. Well, I pretty much got a bit excited about it. To be fair, they kinda deserve what happened to them in prom. I mean, they were pretty hard on Carrie White. Not Tommy though, that's just sad. He did not deserve to die. A movie like this is probably not my thing to watch alone because I just get scared easily, but I forced myself to. And, this was an exception because I know it doesn't involve scary ghosts popping out of nowhere or and sound effects which gets louder as the ghosts appear or anything, just Carrie White, but, I still freaked a bit towards the end. She was pretty much killing people, how was I not scared. I feel sad for her though, she had a hard life in school. Everyone pretty much thinks she's a freak. In all honesty Carrie White, you are not a freak. You're just beautiful.

It's Friday today and I am happy as I am on half day leave today, and I'll be going over to Woodlands to finish up on the engagement decorations and all. I cannot wait for tomorrow! All the hard work to put it all together finally paid off! Hopefully, everything will run smoothly!

Have a nice weekend!

Till then,
XOXO

Thank you for letting me go, I found the perfect man.

Recently, I came across an article that really opened up my mind. Not that I did not realise this in the beginning but somehow, it got to me. Yes, if you ask me, my previous relationship did not end off in a good mutual way. I was heartbroken. But now, thinking back, I feel very thankful that it actually ended. I got to meet the most amazing man in my life. Haziq. He has been there for me most of the time, cheering me up, bringing me out, making me fall in love over and over again with him. Anyway, the article that I read is actually a blog post by Juli Wilson. It's called 'To The Guy That Broke My Heart. I will link it below as well. It's actually a nice post to read up on.

I still remember clearly during my polytechnic days, I would pretend not to see him whenever I saw him standing there because I was just that shy to approach him and say Hi. We were just starting to communicate through text message so therefore face-to-face communication was scary to me. Though, I don't know if he saw me, that's a question that I have to ask him. Hehe. Now, I'm just thankful that I have him in my life and I know I can depend when I need him. I'm really excited to start a new life with him. 

As some of you may know(pretend people are actually reading, when I'm pretty sure no one knows about this blog), the engagement is coming up. It is actually next week and I now began to realise we only have a week to finish up doing the gubahan and all. Panic mode. I don't know why I'm feeling the pressure and stress, it's not my engagement, it's his brother's engagement ceremony, probably because I have to help his mum and all. It's fun and everything is almost done and I am pretty happy with what I had prepared and decorated. Only concern is that the kain that we sent to the tailor to make out Baju Kurung, might not be done in time for the engagement. I'm hoping that the tailor can work her magic though. Because I really want to wear the Baju Kurung! I will try to snap some pictures of the things that are done. Some of it was hand made, some was sent to Malaysia for them to help us with the decorations. Although we are trying to be creative there are some things that we should leave it to the professionals. Hehe..

Hope you all are doing well, and spending more time with your loved ones during Valentines Day. And no, I do not celebrate Valentines, but to all of you out there, hope you'll have a great day! 

Till then, XOXO
