Abang Sudin, 20 sen!

Ayah emailed us (us as in the whole family) on some funny Facebook profiles of our politicians and icons. While the jokes were more on the politicians and kalau dikongsi sini, silap-silap wa bleh masuk ISA wa tamauuuu la kan.

So I found one yang suit the Tribute to P. Ramlee fever that I'm going thru, hehe ^_^

Comelnye la korang baca sampai sepet sepet kecik mata tu.
Kasi klik gambar ah kalau tak nampak ye?

Jangan pegi klik LIKE plak, kot-kot dah biasa naa! ^_^

Itulah Sayang

While everyone is posting their favorite song from the tribute compilation Di Mana KanKu Cari Ganti : Satu Indiepertasi on Facebook, here's ONE of the 18 favorite tracks that I love! (I love 18 of 'em!)






All tracks will only be digital released (tiada CD, cover art & stuff unless you make it on your own), nevertheless enjoy & spread the word, peeps! ^_^


p/s - Er. I have like all almost 18 tracks in mp3 format, email me away if you want some! ^_^

p/p/s - Err, yang Along ada ni bukan original mp3 -- semuanya radio converted, so don't expect much. Tunggu 1st November nanti, Maxis akan provide link download (if I'm not mistaken). Along email untuk sesiapa yang tatahan nak repeat lagu kesukaan tanpa perlu mendengar segmen Brother Love yang UGH.

Adik's Little Surprise

A few days after I received the bags from Club Mod, maka gelabah-lah kejap pakai one of the new bag to office and back. The big,spacey grey bag that I always use to 'terbiar' kejap. And I'm not the kind yang rajin tukar-tukar bag tetiap hari semata nak matching baju atau kasut -- nak nak lagi bila dah rushing bagai. So basically I didn't know Adik 'Aliya planted a surprise birthday gift for me -- well, she did give hints, tapi Kak Long dia ni cam blur tahap taleh blah -- so I just found out, like just now -_-"

Sedih tak?

No wonder Adik was kinda upset with me these few days. Eh, come to think of it, no wonder ah Adik meragam about something tapi Along je tapaham apa yang diragamkan.

Example #1:

"Bila Along nak pakai beg lama Along balik?"
"Kenapenye kalau Along tak pakai beg lama tu?"
"Adik tanya je la. Tu pun taleh ke?"

*Hentak-hentak kaki pergi*


Example #2:

"Dah lama Along tak pakai beg lama Along tu kan?"
"Tapaya dirisau beg Along tu bleh tak? Beg Maahad kamu dah siap packing? Takde lah terkocoh esok pagi, cepat pack."
"Kaklong ni. Lain adik tanya, lain dia jawab!"

*Hentak-hentak kaki pergi*


Example #3:

"Adiiiiiiiiiiiiiik! Beg sekolah kamu dah susun ke belum? Bersepah-sepah!"

She came, hentak-hentak kaki.

"Cakap je beg adik sepah-sepah. Beg kak long tuh sepah-sepah sampai tak nampak barang dalam tu!"
"Ewah,mulut."

Example #4:

She was finding a smaller bag for her exam week. I offered mine -- kinda new, but already used.

"Takpe ah,Long. Adik pakai beg lama je. Nanti dapat beg baru lupa beg lama."
"Ape ko merapek ni,dik?"

She somehow used the bag I offered, and I still didn't get the clue.



Untiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil today, I switched bags again.

And this is what I found -- tu pun lepas rasa cam benda alien dalam beg -- yes, it's spaciously filled with I don't know what.

A Strawberry Shortcake Notebook for meeeeeeeeeeee! ^_^

I am guilty as charged aiyayayaya.
Malam ni balik I would thank her, post something on her Facebook wall (she likes that very much these days) dan rela saja dia tidur lasak (kaki naik kepala pose) without me bugging her to sleep properly.

Diulang, ai rela yu.

Okayla, for the rest of the week ni, I promise I won't bug or scream or nag at her.
But only for a week, adik.
ADIK TIDUR LASAK GILA KOT SAKIT BADAN ALONG NI T____T

Either Ways

You are always in the front line;

Either battling the uncertainties in life;

Or unselfishly making ways for others;

Either ways -- my dear Wani;

I'll be cheering & crying together with you;

And you will always have me to fell back on to.

Always.

Happy Birthday, sweetums.

<3 <3 <3

It's Never Too Late

It’s surprising that it’s taken this long, but finally Malaysian legend P Ramlee gets a proper, full-on tribute album. An initiative by XFM and Astro (and in keeping with the times), it’s quite unfortunate that the ‘compilation’ will get a digital-only release, which means that there’ll be no fancy cover art and booklet of essays and liner notes for us to pore over. Titled “P Ramlee… Dimanakan Ku Cari Ganti: Satu Indiepretasi”, even a cursory glance at the tracklisting should whet anyone’s appetite. Check it out below:

1. Hujan – Tunggu Sekejab
2. Seven Collar T-Shirt – Jangan Tinggal Daku
3. Altimet (feat Imran Ajmain) – Maafkan Kami
4. Awanband (feat Che Mat) – Malam Bulan Di Pagar Bintang
5. Monoloque – Tiada Kata Secantik Bahasa
6. One Buck Short – Pok Pok Bujang Lapok
7. Pesawat – Ai Ai Twist
8. Pop Shuvit – Aci Aci Buka Pintu
9. They Will Kill Us All – Sepanjang Riwayatku
10. Yuna – Gelora Jiwa
11. Grey Sky Morning – Malam Pesta Muda Mudi
12. Couple – Menche Che Bujang Lapok
13. Subculture – Bunyi Gitar
14. Bittersweet – Getaran Jiwa
15. AG & Co (feat Azlan Typewriter) – Jeritan Batinku
16. Kugiran D’Tepi Pantai – Nujum Pak Belalang
17. Meet Uncle Hussein (feat Hazama) – Ya Habibi Ali Baba

The 18th act on the compilation is a sort of ’supergroup’ called The Ramlees which features Liyana Fizi, Najwa, Mira (from Tilu) and Yuna! You can listen to the songs starting 25th October on XFM, Era FM, Sinar FM and THR Gegar.

Article from : The-Wknd

Along layan this tribute to P.Ramlee from XFM online right now while posting this, and you peeps should too! The radio stations mentioned above will be playing the song list all day long, if I'm not mistaken. Definitely no Monday blues for me hey hey!

And I just got to mention that my favorite would be The Ramlees -- Comel tahap kalah Wondergirls! ^^

October Sale!

This Might Be Yours has FINALLY been updated.

What's that? 

It's my sales blog, you sweets!

 

Head over there NOW!

They were, They are.

I remembered clearly how I first knew her -- it was written nowhere in our plans to be friends, what more to be a big sister to her.
On how we see things in life the same way, or how we badly want things as we hoped for.
Then I was introduced to her other half, and the little friendship blossomed and became historical (hehe)!

I was given the chance to be part in their lives, laughter and sorrow.
At times, I was slowly reminisced of the past just by seeing them two together.
Alhamdulillah, their stories turn out much more beautiful than mine.
:')

They were among the few who stood by me, had faith in me when others literally turned their backs on me.
At one point, I felt I don't deserve their loyalty & friendship for I did nothing in return -- at least the equal-- for them.
Yet they are there whenever the swollen eyes of mine finally could open.

Good people like them two should never,ever be given any obstacles in life, yet that is not how this life works, my dears.
Just have faith in Him for He knows better and much more than us all.
For every breath of your "We'll survive this one..", I'll shall pray "Let it be a smooth sailing this time.."

You truly got me when you stood up for me, calling out my name when you should be looking high & mighty on that wedding dais, Azie.
You thanked me for coming as if I just saved your life, Man.

Thank you both of you, for letting me have the honor to have friends, -- ah ya, adik-adik -- like you two.
Congratulations my dears, and the prayers won't stop at this entry, insyaAllah :')

 

Official photographs from Sam Rais & Reen dearest. To Fizzone & hubby, thanks for the ride too!

Di Mana Kan Kucari Ganti

Quoting Soraya Jamal who quoted Ely Azyze;

"Dear Sir, thank you for the laughs, the tears, and the inspirations. Your legend lives on."

Love/Hate

Back then, I used to love the trips to the airport.


The heart tugging feeling of sending away the people you care most.
The adrenalin rush of making it to the airport on time -- be it when sending or picking up.
The sweetest would be the impatient, anxiety of seeing them at the arrival gate.
I must say the time I love most was after the departure where I'll just stayed around for a little while by those big clear windows and watched as the planes took off, one by one. As I imagined that the people could see me, I would give a little wave till the plane went out of my sight. Be it during the starry black night or the broad daylight. I'll wave & smile or cry like no one's business, alone.

It was purely a bittersweet feeling over all.

Then the airport visits just stopped to a halt.
Just like that.

It took me courage just to pass by the signboards with the little white plane icon on it.
It took me the utmost strength of mind power just to be there, at the airport ground, mostly to send my loved ones off.

Then it came to me, I don't have to go through all that alone.
Kan?

I have friends -- even when there are friends leaving me for good or for a while -- I still have others, who stayed behind, with me.

I found myself looking forward for the future airport trips once again -- reunions and gatherings, just us.
And planning to sing along to B.o.B & Hayley's "can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars.."

Oh yes, I could really use a wish right now, like right now.
 :')


Wherever my love ones are right now, see you soon sweetness!

Cara Mekap Mudah, Meriah & Murah!

Korang tau taaaaaaaaaaak, eversince I knew Farina do make-ups and all, huiiiiyai, menggeletek hati dan perasaan dalam Along ni berangan yang satu hari nanti Farina mekapkan Along gak, like seriously.

Not that she never offered me, tapi Along cam sesegan ah tetibe nak mekap bagai walaupun takde event. Nanti sayang je mekap elok-elok tapi kejap je pakainye. So until my time comes, I've non stop referring her expertise to friends & relatives who need makeovers for their big days. So far, alhamdulillah, semua puas hati & frankly speaking, Along makin jatuh cinta with Farina's work!

Farina lak cam tetau I ni tergedik nak bermekap tapi tak berani mintak, so selalunya she'll share tips on make up products and kekadang merasa ah Along merasa di-touch up by her sambil dia cerita/test camne nak guna eye shadow,lipstick bagai. Okay, I sound so gedik now, tapi I memang tak reti mintak tolong kot!

This was during Wani Ardy's wedding, Farina sempat touch up balik my make up, and it was a whole lot difference since previously I didn't wear any mascara & eyebrow pencil bagai.

Knowing me, I might like all those beauty products and all, tapi when it comes to real situation where I need to put on my make up, I'll just do with compact powder, eye liner, blusher & lipstick. Lipstick & lipgloss je bebaru ni cam UP sikit sebab Farina recommended me MAC and I am glad I listened to her! Those two are my favorites quick perk me up stuff these days ^__^

And Farina being Farina, who is forever generous, shared her own tips to a whole new way of make up in her blog recently.

READ IT HERE! DO IT, LISTEN TO HER, CONFIRM CANTIK CAM DIA JUGAK I TELL YOU!!

Yang penting, it's Mudah, Meriah & Murah! Triple M!!

Have fun, ladies!!

 

First Club Mod Contest Winner!

Siapa ingat lagi yang Along menang contest from Club Mod?

Mesti ah korang kena ingat, korang yang tolong Along menang! Kena, kena ingat tu tau! Kalau tak ingat, Along pernah blog about it here. Terima kasih sekali lagi korang! ^_^

So Club Mod & I arranged a meet up recently, after several plans before this selalu tak jadi. Either our schedules clashed, it was Raya celebration and all. And since the awesome Club Mod owners -- Izyan & Izzaldin -- haven't been to Gravy Baby, I insisted to meet up there. Alih-alih Gravy Baby lama benauuu cuti Raya, so we just had to postpone it many times. Hee.

But fret not!
Kami berjaya meet up and wheeeeeeeeeeeee, kemain lagi segannye Along dapat hadiah kotak besar full with bags!!

Dah la the meet up was sehari selepas my birthday (and Izzaldin's too!) so feeling happy lebih ah konon dapat hadiah birthday juga hihi. Club Mod even made an entry HERE, woh dabel triple segan Along kejap tengok muka Along sendiri bebanyak situ -_-"

And bleh tak time tu sorang pun takde camera?
So lucky we had Izzaldin's camera phone on the roll haha!

Anyways, thank you again friends!
Because of your LIKES, I made more friends too -- and definitely a co-owner to four new bags! ( Sebab kena kongsi dengan adik-adik, haha!)

Let's hope that Club Mod would organize more cool contests in the future for us, eyh!


p/s - Er, kalau Along masuk contest lagi, jangan serik vote eh? Sayaaaaaaaang korang!

Kahwinnya AJ

Dear Mrs. AJ;

Ini baru entry khas untuk kamu,dik. Bukan yang sebelum tu, bukan. Takkan la Along taknak citer panjang lebar pasal wedding kamu yang super meriah -- mana aci cerita satu perenggan tanpa gambar sebagai bukti? Until today, Along sendiri tak caya I managed to be there, again, for your big day.

Tapi itulah, dalam caya tak caya tu, I still couldn't find the exact words to jot everything in here. Taip taip, pastu delete balik. Konon nak up entry sebelum kamu balik dari honeymoon, tapi terbiar dalam draft sesia. Gambar pun Along tak upload dalam FB lagi, sampai begitu sekali Along rasa ape eh... hm,lagi sekali I lost the words to describe. Kamu jangan fikir bukan-bukan lak, please don't. This is your Along, for once, hilang kata.

It is just too overwhelming, I guess.
Happy sangat for you, that's for sure.

(Ah. Ayat nak emo je. Pfft.)

Kamu pun tanak Along risau-risau, which I am not. Not at all. Kamu dah ada Pejo, and Along yakin he'll take good care of you, biarpun kamu dua ada masanya emosi mengalahkan emo queen di sini. *nyampah* So why should I worry, kan? Kan?

So yeah.
Along tak risau.

Tak risau pun biarpun malam sebelum hari nikah, kamu masih ke hulu hilir tak cukup tanah menyiapkan itu ini. Knowing you, you won't settle down selagi things are not as what you want it to be. Even when your body says rest, kamu masih ke sana sini dengan inai bersepah-sepah. Ye, Along bersalah menyepahkan inai kamu, but seriously bersepah kot kita dua malam tu! Kamu tak suka inai tu, I wish I could make you shut up bila when you screamed tergeli-geli bila Along cuci inai tu.

Malam tu Along tidur bau inai kamu, jari Along kena calit inai sepah-sepah, dalam hati Along cakap -- orang lain takkan dapat rasa ni :')

Pagi kamu nikah, kamu masih sibuk. Tolong ape patut untuk majlis khatam Al-Quran. Macam tak rehat langsung, walhal kejap lagi dah nak nikah. Kamu memang macam tu kan, J? Cover nervous kamu baeeek punya kan?

Along dan Farah plak yang risaukan kamu lelebih. Maknanya kami berdua mengumpat kamu tiap kali kamu lalu depan kiteorang depan muka serious. Macam nak ikat kamu, meh dok dendiam kejap. Tolong ah, for one second. Diam & rehat kejap. Please?

Sumpah tak sampai 5 minit pun kamu duduk kejap. Pastu dah ke hulu hilir balik. Mujur mak andam datang cepat. Ada sebab untuk kamu duduk diam (dan tidur kejap) sebelum the big moment of your life. Tapi kamu taaaaaaaaaak, nak bercakap jugak. Kalo leh nak berborak dengan orang orang yang jenguk kat bilik kamu kejap kejap tu. Sumpah masa tu Along tengok kamu senarnya dah tak larat sangat, but I dare not say anything. Jadi Along senyap je, tapi pastu adeeeeee plak yang cakap Along emosi hihi.

Jadi Along pun tidur kejap sementara tunggu kamu bersiap. Tapi memang tidurlah sangat Along dalam bilik ada photographer dan kawan-kawan/makcik-makcik keluar masuk. So I left the room and made myself useful around the house.

Masuk-masuk bilik semula, I almost didn't recognize you, J.Cantik. You were all smiles, no trace of nervous, not at all. Kami kami yang cuak lebih as the rombongan lelaki started to fill in the house. Since kami semua di belakang tabir, we couldn't hear much of the khutbah nikah & all. Well, we tried. Tapi all we hear was ourselves saying to each other; "Weh. AJ nak kawen dah weh." "Tu lah. Funna pun tak caya ni, Long." "Percayalah. Bakal bini orang tu." And we replied "Tu ah." serentak.

I finally got a spot to sit down after awhile. Itupun sebab Linda made some space for me, but still I couldn't hear much of what the Imam was talking. So knowing me,I did something useful. (Not.)

Then suddenly everyone were hushing around saying that you were crying,J. We were like, "Damn. Sikit nye dia confident tadi, nangis jugak ko J!" Oh yeah, kiteorang puas hati kot kamu finally menitiskan air mata, sekaligus menewaskan keegoanmu itu hihi.

Sekali lafaz kamu selamat jadi milik Pejo, dik. Along ingat lagi Pejo datang depan kamu ucap "Assalamualaikum ya isteriku." Sumpah sebak kejap. Kemudian sesi peluk-memeluk dengan mama baba tu ah yang buat kiteorang kat tepi tepi ni menangis sama. (Tadi gelakkan kamu sangat, pastu yang ni ha sedu sedan lebih, -_-") Memang gila drama air mata jap. Cam kena kahwin paksa pun ada kalau tengok muka memasing HAHA.

Ni mungkin satu-satunya gambar kita bertiga, Along baru sedar. Dari kamera Along ah. Kamera abang Ezran & abang Irfan mungkin banyak. (Motif tetibe panggil derang abang? Oh ya, supaya cepat siap album kahwin.)

Selesai majlis nikah, kamu tetap ke hulu hilir. Tapi time tu dah ade body guard sementara. Ye ah, Pejo ada time tu. Malam sebelum resepsi, Along tetap tidur dengan kamu lagi. Kamu bukan tak tau Pejo jeling Along sikit punya tajam sebelum dia balik *oke tipu*

Tak sompek Along nak bercamwhore dengan kamu & Pejo kat pelamin ni, sungguh. Terkilan yo amek. Tapi apo nak dibuek kan. Yang den tetibo cakap nogoie ni makno eh den sodih bobonar ah. Apokan dayo, takdo rozoki.

Sorry Along tak dapat nak ikut tema,J. Biarpun pink hitam cam memang gothic habis dan sesuai dengan jiwa ku, Along tak sompek ah nak cari kain matching. Tapi J, memang cantik ah kamu arituh :') Along baru sedar Along tak banyak amik gambar pun masa resepsi. Tu yang emo jap kut. Bukan sebab kamu biarkan Along ke ape. Bukan.

Gambar-gambar lain Along dah upload kat FB sambil Along wat entry ni. Along harap by the time kamu baca ni, you'll be glad to know that I am still here if you need me. Jangan salah sangka or whatsoever bila Along kuar ayat taching ke ape, you know I'm just being mengada and all. Tau.

So, be a good wife to Pejo, take care of each other, take care of yourself, pastu jangan ah nak pressure sangat dengar citer orang lain pasal married life ni. You have your own story now, so just enjoy yours. Okay?

I dont know when will be the next time we'll see each other again, yet I know we will just be in touch and know where to find each other. Thanks sangat for being among the earliest to wish me Happy Birthday despite you were on your honeymoon, dik. The thought was the best gift -- knowing you do still remember me nevertheless :')

Okay J.
Now I feel a whole lot lighter lepas dah tulis semua ni. Lantak ah orang lain cakap entry ni panjang berjela ke ape, but this one is written for you, dari hati Along paling bawah.
Selamat pengantin baru sekali lagi, AJ & Pejo.

Korang tau Along sayang korang camne kan?
Tak?
Malas layan.

Tanak babai, we'll see each other soon.
Okay?

<3;
The only Along Zunaira :')

Ten Ten Ten

How was your ten ten ten?

Mine was very much the same as any typical Sunday would be but it was unusual gloomy tho --because of the weather,not me.

And I kinda decided not to go to any wedding invites today (I got 4 from all over the place) so to be fair, I didnt go to any. Hee. Ampun. Congratulations tho, friends -- and Datuk Dr. Syeikh Muzaffar & Datin Dr. Halina too!

Anyways, hope your ten ten ten was way awesome-r than mine. But nothing could beat this ten ten ten video -- enjoice!




p/s - Ooh yeah, AJ's updates right after this! NO. She's not preggers yet-lah!

Terbaik

Kumpulkan teman-teman Askar -- jauh atau dekat, berkahwin atau bujang trang tang tang sangat -- dalam satu tempat.
Tempat tu biar tepi pantai, bila buka pintu tingkap, nampak air laut terbentang luas, bayu laut sapa menderu-deru.
Makanan bikin sendiri, baik bakar atau import dari dapur rumah masing-masing.
Agenda santai -- dari berkumpul bergolek dalam rumah ke berlari-lari tepi pantai ke memanjat bukit ke rumah api -- janji masing-masing kongsi rasa hati yang sama.

Ketawa, menangis bersama.
Bersama-sama.




Hadiah hari lahir ke-28 yang terbaik.
Terima kasih, korang!
<3

28

I could easily be mistaken as a 25 year old by those who met me for the first time -- or a fresh grad by the makcik-makcik who waits with me at the bus stop every other day. It annoys me at first, but I felt good later on. To think I have the young look (and not to forget, the pimples of a teenager) and the energy of an early twenties has it perks at times. And at the same time, I do hope I have the wisdom of an experienced lady (who is single and very much independent) of the almost late twenties should have. That is somehow my forte as I discover each day. Syukran ya Kareem, for all the good things, the bad experiences turned great, the opportunities of a lifetime, the loving family and a great circle of friends.


I'm 28 today -- thankful & very much enjoying it, insyaAllah.
:')

As For Now

Dia kata tema resepsinya fairytale -- which explains the long flowy dress as a princess should wear. But don't get too excited and expect all the pastel colors of a fairytale should have in her reception. In fact, Along (dalam hati) rasa ini tema gothic fairytale -- sesuai dengan AJ yang memang senarnye keras kepala keras segala tapi tetap cuba menjadi ayu. Avril Lavigne would enjoy this theme a whole lot. Shocking pink & black were the colors of the day. From her dress to the dais, little details in wedding favors, badges, posters, pinggan mangkuk candy buffet pun pink & black! Tinggal takde tengkorak cute-cute je,hihi. Emogothic habis!

Too emogothic that I, the emo queen had to make a scene on her big day. Haih. It was purely unintended, I swear. And I didn't know she noticed so I was a bit surprised when she came up to me -- apologising.

Haih, Long.
Kenapalah kau camni?
On her big day lak tu?

"Saya tau Along terasa tadi. Sorry sangat."
"Eh mana adaaaa mana ada."
"Jangan tipu. Saya nampak muka Along tadi."
"Eee memandai je ko J, manade la."
"Sorry long, sorry sangat. Saya tak sengaja."
"Isk, manade papelah J."
"Tak, saya tau Along sentap jap tadi kan?"
"Sikit."
"Kan betul saya cakap."
"Tapi Along paham je la, lek ah J."
"Tak, Along mesti terasa saya sengaja biarkan Along. Kan?"
"La kan AJ busy tadi. Along paham la."
"Sorry tau Long. Sorry. Saya tak sengaja."

*peluk kuat*

I can't continue writing this now.
Cerita nikah & resepsi Ajlaa Shazwani just have to wait, at least for today, as I go through the pictures, reminiscing the moments while slowly accepting my lil' sister is now a married lady :')

P/s - Selamat ber-honeymoon, AJ & Pejo!

Yours Truly - Mrs. Wani Ardy

Wani & Syafiq dah selamat pulang ke Paramatta by the time this entry siap ditulis. Along tak sebak sangat bila menghantar Wani di KLIA malam semalam, knowing she's not alone this time round. "Take care of each other tau." I said to her. Dia senyum. "Jumpa Along tahun depan tauuu!" Pipi dia naik. Comel sungguh dia di balik hijab merah. At a glance I could see she gained weight, and so does Syafiq -- and I'm happy to know for once she does not mind about the weight gain to which it shouldn't be an issue in the first place! Awak comel as you are la, Wani!

Trust Wani to gather us all friends in a place or an event. Sesibuk macam mana sekalipun, beribu batu jauh pun kami teman-teman sanggup datang, sanggup be part of her activities. Dari zaman jamming, picnics, shows, photoshoots, hari bintang jatuh's you name it, Wani made sure we are there. And we always will. Somehow Wani managed to make us feel special for just being there. Along mungkin rasa Along tiada apa untuk dikongsi, but Wani selalu buat Along rasa Along ni penting dan relevan. Mungkin bukan pada orang lain, tapi pada Wani, I am her supersomething. Which I fail to see that myself. Hm.

I could still remember clearly how she was in and out of relationships before finally meeting Syafiq. Ah, wait. I wrote about it here ; which reminds me -- I haven't learnt my lesson still, hehe. Yet Wani never fails to encourage me to just go out there and meet new people, even until today. We might share a few similarities here and there but somehow Wani have more courage than I do -- in meeting new people lah. Yang lenlain, Along berani sikit. (Yeah, more excuses.)

We were merely strangers until Wani gathered and introduced us to each other. Now we are somewhat -- sisters!

And it just make me happier to see my favorite people are friends with each other!

So okay, I'm being randomly pointless now. To be frank, I don't know what to say when people asked me how I feel about Wani is now married. I'm beyond happy that's for sure. I don't know if you peeps would expect me to break down & cry lak kan, but I don't. And I won't. Along just harap tiap kali orang bertanya atau terbaca pasal Wani Ardy, doakanlah kebahagiaannya sampai waktu dan nafas tiada penghujungnya.

I couldn't ask you to stay the same as the way I first you I knew you, Wani sayang. Kita sedia maklum hati manusia berubah sekelip mata, experiences teaches us that, remember? Tapi tak mengapa jika berubah untuk yang lebih baik, kan? Even if it meant we couldn't be together more often, or how far we could be, cukuplah jika Along tahu kalau Along terasa nak menangis, Wani ada untuk Along. Fizikal atau maya. Atau hantar Syafiq sebagai back up dulu sebab Wani tengah sibuk masak di dapur pun tak pe.

I love you so much Nur Syazwani.

Eh, Mrs. Syafiq Zakaria.

Hee.

Congratulations sayang, you have proven to me that kita-kita yang tiada apa ini akan capai juga bahagia dengan orang yang terima kita apa adanya, dengan izinNya. :')

October

Thresca

It's October already?
Hm.

October 1 saw me seeing AJ becoming a wife to Wan Faizul, sekali lafaz. It was truly an honor to be part of her big day together with her family & close friends, truly am. I considered myself lucky as I get to sleep with AJ two nights in row -- sebelum dan selepas dia menjadi isteri, all those little details where it doesn't matter to others but it does to me. It was worth driving alone to & fro to Kuantan where the event took place, to which I couldn't do without the support of good friends who prayed for my safety, checking on me every now then, gave me tidbits to munch along the journey and somehow had faith that I'll do just fine. Thank you, korang.

Late 2nd October saw me driving straight to PD from Kuantan as I just couldn't resist not being together with the Askars. The newlyweds, Wani Ardy, Syafiq, Amal & Adi were there earlier welcoming us -- Hellmy, Ikim, Ikmal, Elmo, Omar & I for our session of us being just us. This might be incomplete without those who couldn't make it yet we just had to do it as it has been awhile since we did just that. Seeing each other during weddings sangat lain rasanya dengan sama-sama melepak menangis menyanyi melompat memanjat makan-makan dan menangis lagi.

October 3 - Late birthday shoutouts to Foxyfarah, Diella & Deeda. You ladies rock my world in your own ways, trust me.

And today, I still owe a lot of pictures in here, from Wani Ardy's candy themed to AJ's fairytale wedding. I guess you peeps will only get to read wedding entries back to back till the end of October -- that is if I ever get to sit back and update about it.

You have no idea on how I'm still adjusting to the fact that all my closest friends are settling down one weekend after another, no you don't.

On a happier note, this year's October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays and this only happens once in every 823 years.
That's something special for us Libra babies, methinks.

And yes, hello you, October.
:')
