Checked romm website, there’ll be 65 solemnisations (as of now) during the 5-11 march week.
Do the maths. There’ll be around 130 venues that will be used for wedding receptions.
Praying hard that we’ll get our venue of choice.
Ok. Shouldnt rant. Cos this 10 dec ada 97 solemnizations on that day alone. The pengantins mesti lagi stress pasal venues, caterer, kompang, mak andam, photographer etc.
Ok. Dah happy dah 
to be honest, there is not much progress in the wedding prep dept. save for a few. itu pun done after office hours or squeeze some time in between my already packed weekends.
the deco was discussed late in the evening at 630 after work. the fabrics were bought on a sunday when i managed to skip a lesson. sent to the seamstress on a sunday after my weekend lessons that ended late at 5 pm. after a lot of rescheduling to fit in as many things (both work and personal) as possible
yes, this is slowly degrading into a whine. i’m exhausted. truth be told, i couldnt be more thankful when the lolas asked our meeting to be changed to late nov. cos, honestly, i’m up to my neck with work. however, must add that i’m thankful that my colleagues in the dept have done a lot while i was occupied with long meetings. they’ve managed to get so many things done so the least i could do to ease some of their work was to at do the ict report component. i seriously feel bad adding on more tasks to others when they already have a lot in their plates, especially when the hols are approaching.
and the clearing up of wadrobe from the previous post? that was done during my short break semasa buat some work di laptop tu. all i did was keluarkan the baju from the wardrobe and asked the kind help of my domestic helper to fold the clothes and put ‘em in bags. also told her to take any clothes in that stack should she like any of them. the work clothes and tshirts, especially, were all in good condition. so there. i didnt do much.
i’ve failed as a bridezilla. this lil miss is still very much busy with work till… i dont even know till when. my calendar is already packed till end of november. i think i’m the bride who’ll be working even till the eve of her own wedding. not kidding.
i’ve a sharing session to attend this afternoon. off i go now.
sometimes, most times, it is unfair to expect someone to be what they are not. what has happened to acceptance? accepting the person for who he/she is, and work towards something positive. i am talking (or rather, typing, to be virtual-world correct) about relationships in general. be it in love, friendship or at work.
it’s really sad, truly, when one makes assumptions and then a mountain out of a molehill is thus maketh. wouldnt that only cause embarrassment when the assumption is found to be untrue or completely baseless in the first place?
kindly think before you talk. and that’s the reason why i choose to stay silent. cakap, takut misunderstood. tapi tak cakap, pun masih boleh misunderstood *sigh* dunia.. dunia..
dan lagi satu. sungguh tidak faham kenapa lah ada manusia yang suka sangat nak complain sana complain sini. saya lebih suka diam aje. tak suka? diam aje. at least tak datangkan dosa kerana mengumpat. tak datangkan kemarahan orang. tak sakitkan hati sendiri. dont like it? either you do something to make things better.. or keep your opinions to yourself if you have nothing positive to contribute. simple.
semua orang ada kelebihan dan kelemahan masing-masing. focus on the good and work on ‘em. the bad, try to balance it up with others’ strengths.
waiting for 2012. and i’ll happily seek a step down. there are many more who can do my job better than me. cos i am not good enough. never good enough no matter how hard i try.
after a week long break from work, you know how lengit it is to start again. must have been some excitement of some sort. i couldnt sleep last night. ended up sleeping at 4 am and rudely woken up at 615 am. work is work is work.
despite all that… the engine is still running at 530 pm. managed to clear a long overdue dept meeting. produced relief schedule at record time. prepared agenda. this and that. 2 more major tasks in the to-do list.
so far, the major issues pertaining the wedding are a-ok. my fbil and fh (chey, in forum lingo. huhur) will be sharing the kompang. that one, we’ll let the fbil, the other groom, take his pick. we no cerewet.
next, time to get the documents ready for the romm registration *i cant believe this is really going to happen soon. as in, sometime next week or the week after next kinda soon!*
and we cant believe that registering for a pre marriage course can be so melecehkan. the system didnt receive our application although we have submitted it online. even got the ‘thank you for registering with us’ page. still, the other side claimed that they didnt receive any submission 
fret not. nevermind. esok will try again and i hope we are able to make a verbal application through phone and make the full payment when we attend the course this weekend. shall try my luck.
for now. all i wanna do is bury myself in world of work. 3 more weeks or so of this mayhem. and welcome the long break, we shall
in the mean time, hello dark rings and eyebags.
i iz tired.
dont you simply hate it when people assume that you are okay with things.. when, in fact, you are really not keen in it?
often going to kl just cos my love is there doesnt mean that i jump at any opportunity to go there.
we also have to look at our schedules. and this weekend is not good cos i have tonnes of marking to do.
not everything that i do is driven by my mister *grrrr* it can also be due to family matters.
dont you hate it when people assume?
i should learn to say no. cos cancelling my weekend tuition would mean loss of extra money for savings.
a pain in the neck.
literally.
tengah pelan-pelan urut leher.
i want fruits.
i’m much better now *grins* thoughts about adopting a cute baby girl went all *poof* this morning the second i saw kids these days. they are a scary scary bunch. what if my child grows up whacked out or whose existence is merely to make my life a living hell or drive me up the wall and i turn out a total wreck?
what if my son turns out like some kids i see day in-day out, has zero interest in studies, downright rude and has no respect for anything at all? i might as well spend that money on myself, my own house, gym, make up, facial, travels, help the needy, donate to the poor and the mosque etc instead of spending it on someone who doesnt know how to appreciate and be thankful for it.
why and how do sweet smelling cute babies turn ___(fill in the blank)___ 14 years down the road?
the trials of a single young lady in the city who is beginning to question perhaps there is a reason why she wont get to experience the joy of motherhood anywhere in the near future. maybe cos she’ll make a horrible mother who will end up losing herself, depressed and one who screams to her kids at the top of her lungs.
i might change my mind, yet again, tomorrow.
huda has been a klutz on tuesday. tak sampai sejam pat tempat kerja, i almost tripped thrice. three times. tiga kali. wait, tak sampai setengah jam, actually. cos i reached i reached work at 710 am. between 0710 and 0730 flag raising… 20 minutes. dalam 20 minit, i almost tripped thrice.
jalan pun tak boleh betul-betul.
*hish*
someone save me. saaaaaave meeeeeeee :p
dah abis satu kerja, kena buat benda baru.
dah abis benda tu, belum sempat nak bernafas sikit, kerja baru dah datang.
dan aku punya semangat. baik ah, huda. bijak sangat kan. bila head tanya ‘bila nak start?’, confident kata nak mula minggu depan. without blinking. and then i knew i was a dead duck. still am. huhu.
cos why???? sekali lagi, i am stuck with this secara sendirian berhad.
ish. baru teringat. nanti lepas abis kelas, ada meeting. nasib baik nanti dia sediakan santapan free. jimat sikit duit aku.
lets see how many tasks can i juggle at once.
huda tak sabar nak go holiday!!!!
i need that break, out of this island.
i feel like quitting my job.
maybe all i need is a long break. again.
three years tak cukup. gimme another five.
hari ni huda bangun pagi. dah mandi, dah siap… semuanya dah… tinggal pergi sekolah aje. tapi badan tak larat langsung nak pergi kerja. after a quick check with my colleague yang dah sampai sekolah, huda cuma ada 2 teaching periods aje for today. so huda decided that it really is time to take mc. i’ve stretched myself too much, i should stop.
belum lagi naik turun tangga keluar rumah, nafas dah start wheezing. kalau semalam, naik tangga je dah breatheless. dalam kelas, semasa bercakap, dada sakit sangat. tak demam, tak pening. cuma sakit dada, batuk, selsema and hilang suara aje.
went to doc and he gave me mc dua hari. now nak bernafas pun sakit dada *sobs*
memang salah huda pun, huda mengaku.
sepatutnya monday lalu doc dah bagi mc tapi huda asked it to be brought to tuesday. pasal monday my sec 4 class ada ca1 and huda kena print sec 2 nye ca1 paper for tuesday.
sepatutnya huda made use of that tuesday mc, tapi huda gagahkan diri juga cos sec 1, 2, and 3 classes ada ca1 test. and wednesday pula huda nak go through test papers with some of my classes, about the silly mistakes they made in their paper 2 and compo. it’s always more effective to go through their mistakes cepat-cepat so that they can really feel the impact of their mistakes and learn from it. kalau buat lewat, nag pasal the errors pun nanti masuk telinga kanan, keluar telinga kiri budak-budak tu.
the kids memang dah tahu huda sakit, dorang pun suruh huda take mc. tapi huda tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan my students just like that, right before their ca1 papers.
tengah tak tertahan langsung, rasanya macam nak go doc lagi je and ask him to flick his magic wand and rid the blockage in me lungs keluarkan semua lendir pat paru-paru ni. huda tak tahan
it hurts to cough. it hurts to breathe. it hurts to talk.
sejak huda mula kerja in 2002, before this mc, cuma sekali je huda pernah take mc from work. that was in 2003. for the exact same thing as this one. pasal susah nak nafas. tapi that time, lebih teruk. it happened in school. every breathe that i took, could hear the loud wheezing. sampai nak bersuara pun tak boleh lagi.
so pagi-pagi lagi, walaupun di rumah, huda dah sibuk hantar sms, made calls and sent emails to individu-individu tertentu. hal yang berkaitan dengan kerja. nanti petang ni pun, nak meet my colleague who will pass me my laptop from work.
you can take the teacher out of the school, but not the school out of the teacher *grins*
kalau ikut kata hati, memang dah minta my colleague bawakan sekali all my students’ books pat atas my desk tu. tapi huda tahu my limit. my body dah kata “STOP”
stress level went up, immune system got shot down
i’ve been very very busy with work past week. it’ll be the same next week.
and now i’m down with headache, bad throat, coughing and runny nose. macam paip rosak. leak leak leak *sigh*
yesterday, in between bukit batok in the morning and 3 pm appointment, i managed to squeeze in an hour for shopping *giggles* the tags are still attached to the new blouse and dress.
yang kerja gilanya, i bought the exact same blouse yang i memang dah ada. same design, same price, same brand, same colour. cuma kali ni beli 1 size smaller aje. better fit what to do with the old one? maybe bak antar kedai to alter it, jadi sama size macam my new one. so baju tak cepat lusuh. banyak lah bagus ini reason.
dah midnite, need to do something really important…. decide what to wear for monday. huhu.
ciao
my thoughts ….
@ 0530 : what!??!!? alarm dah bunyi? *urgh* cepatnya…
@ 0730 : (semasa walking down the steps nak go flag raising) BLEARGH!!!! I DIDNT WAKE UP FOR THIS!!!!
@ 0800 : lapar. tapi tak leh makan. nak abiskan typing…
@ 0830 : lapar!
@ 0930 : lapar! lapar! lapar!
@ 1030 : lapar giler. haus giler.
@ 1130 : ini je makanan pat kantin? *sigh* nak makan spaghetti atau nasi campur? decisions.. decisions. cik, nasi sikit, ikan, tahu, sayur. berapa? 2 dolar? auntie, warm soya bean 1, pleeeaaase.
@ 1200: kenapalah aku kena masuk kelas lagi? ngantuk *yawn*
@ 1300 : kelas belum abis-abis lagi? bilalah nak dismissal? *yawn* hausnya. kaki lenguh. suara dah hilang niiii….
@ 1345 : isk. assembly. tak de chance langsung nak tidur *yawn* betul ke dorang nak show benda ni pada budak-budak?
@ 1430 : aku nak buat kerja. lets see… what to do … zzzzzzzzzz……
@ 1540 : puasnya tidur.. tapi masih ngantuk lagi *yawn*
@ 1600 : ni tak boleh jadi.. mesti start type exams papers.
@ 1840 : balik ah!
*big grin*
have i told you? that my new bag dah sampai it was the first thing i saw when i came to work this morning sitting pretty on my desk *giggles* i love!
have i told you? rasa puas benar. huge relief orang yang tak de soalan lain selain daripada “dah makan?”, “dah makan?”, and more of “dah makan?”, and the other question “tengah buat apa?” (which most often tempts me to reply “tgh buat bodoh”, but stop short at pressing the enter button *evil grin*) … well, i’ve finally lenyapkan rasa tak sampai hati and finally clicked the block option *giggles* yes, bitchy, i know.
but at the risk of losing my sanity tiap kali the conversation is super predictable and i can already guess what he’ll ask next 10 minutes before he even types it (my guesses are usually accurate without even trying hard, mind you) (which goes like this “dah makan?”, “tgh buat apa?”, “jaga diri baik-baik”… and repeat step 1). same questions asked at every chat session (which i try my best to avoid *evil grin*), the block was necessary evil *evil grin*
for heaven’s sake. people only say “take care” at the end of the chat. it’s how people say “tata” or “good bye” or “catcha later” or “nites”. but the above mentioned guy would say “jaga diri baik-baik” even when i say i wanna go orchard *bleargh* cannot tahan, beb. maybe that might just work on a girl who yearns for protection by a white knight in shining armour *gheargh*
my white knight in shining armour might just end up carrying my shopping bags on a shopping trip in orchard. and he knows better than to say “jaga diri baik-baik”.
i can take care of myself, thank you.
case one:
you know, it’s already bad enough that a pimple or two popped on my nose this morning, “on time” for the meet the parents meeting tonight *sigh*
what’s worse is when, the pimple burst an hour before the meeting begins *groans*
case two:
you know, it’s already bad enough that you have an absolutely full day today and you have to extend your working hours till 9 plus tonight, possibly 10.
what’s worse is when that same day happens to be your daddy’s birthday and the entire family will be having dinner somewhere – without you *groans*
