11.12.13

What a beautiful date today is. It's momentous too as today is the 11th day of the 12th month of the 13th year in the millennium and at 14:15 and 16 secs this afternoon the date and time will briefly read: 11.12.13 14:15:16.  There won't be another date with three consecutive numbers in this century. Just wow!

Because today is a special date, a lot of couples grabbed the opportunity to get hitched. The famous of the lot has got to be our falsies empress, Rozita Che Wan and her 10 year-younger lad (or was it 15?), Zain Zaidin. The couple is so famous of late, for their wedding is fully sponsored by certain jewellery chain, amounting to an absurd figure of RM13mil. Yes you read that right, RM13,000,000.00.

Another celebs' wedding held today is Malaysia's renown fashion designer, Jovian Mandagie and his petite fiancee, Nina Sabrina Ismail Sabri, whose father and brother need no introduction. Sweet couple. The wedding is tad grandeur than the former but it was kept on the lower tone, I assume because of 'who' her daddy is. This couple is celebrated on Instagram, nevertheless. A very famous insta couple that their hashtag #joviannina appeared numerous times on the explore tab. Cheers to both of you.

And I'm kinda bummed out that my S.O is not here with me. We could have spent the day by watching movie, go for fine dining or simply cuddling up on the couch playing with our phone (like we always do)... I miss you so much boo... Kiss kiss.

Just to post an entry that marked the significance of today's date, I'm listing out today's happenings.

1. Backache, right side, shooting pain.
2. Skipped lunch, had a 40min nap instead.
3. Had fried bee hoon & hot coffee at 3pm. (i don't drink hot beverages, that's an achievement *makebelieve)
4. I wore black executive blouse, black pants, black shoes and glittering shawl in raspberry.
5. Went out with parents to The Spring (where else), had beef kuey teow. Aimed 3 pairs of blouses at Parkson and 5 pair of work shoes at Primavera.
6. Had a revelation, I think I'm so in love with dusty pink and champagne colour combo.

On the same note, I fell hard with Jason Derulo's "Will You Marry Me"

Can you tell that they're crazy in love? Me too!

Alright... that's about it.

I've got to post this before midnight.

Till then phantom readers. Sleep well.

November 2013. Status: OK.

Not my room, unfortunately.

No, that's not my room. It's far fetched.

You know how some people would list down their new year's resolutions now that it's drawing near? Well I have mine. But it's not a resolution. It's a prediction. Or rather a newly found penchant.

I think my colour for 2014 would be raspberry. Raspberry and teal. Saw a Guess handbag two nights ago and it was in raspberry. Love it so much I can't simply sleep on the idea of possessing it. Get the bag I must.

There. Random. I know.

Finding Happiness in July

Assalamualaikum readers,

My last entry was way back in February. I know I made a promise (to myself) that I'd put at least an entry per week but what do you know, future has a funny way of manifesting, one stunt at a time...hence the long hiatus.

Skipped 4 months, fast forward to today, I'm no longer with the top 4 university in the country. I have pulled the contract plug (wish I had done that sooner) for good and settled with the top 24 instead. Still bearing the same post, what delight me the most of this shift is for the fact that I'm moving back to my hometown, Kuching. Now isn't that a blessing?

As for my significant other, he's been very supportive and we decided to succumb everything to Allah swt, for He is the Almighty and only He gets to decide the portion of your rezeki, the duration of your jodoh and the finale of your life. Allahuakhbar. I could ask no more from Him for I think my prayer has been answered; I am finally a permanent employee.

I would be lying if I said that things just fall into places the minute I submitted my acceptance letter. No, in fact I was struggling, to this very day. First, just days before I got the precious email from my current registrar, my husband and I moved to a new place, rented still but boy was it homely. I was lucky enough to have it filled with new stuff, courtesy of my parents (told you I was blessed!). Writing this makes me miss the house even more. I only realized that I got so attached to it when during facetime, I asked my husband to capture my living hall and my kitchen and even asked him to open the refrigerator!

And of course, the person I shared the house with... my husband. This year has been turbulent for the both of us, especially now that he's back and forth to JB and KL; with me being ridiculously unhappy at work, suffice to say there were things thrown at my old place, tears were incessantly shed... and the new house somewhat saved my marriage. It amazed me too how routine can bite you in the as* and to put my disorderly relationship back on track was no abc nor 123... It's when we worked on the new house that we found our mojo back and realized we only have each other to love and to hold for now. The relationship department has improved tremendously since then. *wink*

Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah swt... Again and again he saved me. The job offer came in May and I was ecstatic! Just when I thought that things would just keep crumbling down, life has finally shown me some light. I'm constantly adjusting even though I'm in my own home, my very own room. I must admit I'm a little concern that at 33 I'm being pampered by mom to a point that I get to relax after work, unlike in S.Kembangan, where life's pretty much dictated by the wall clock. I'm indeed grateful.

Once in a while, now that I'm here, I miss my former office buddies so much. Even though the old place seemed like fire and brimstone, I treasure the friendships I've made over the years and they could very much be the reason why I stayed that long. And here at my new place, I'm optimistic that I'll find a fun bunch too.

Let's hope that my mantra 'it's always greener on the other side' rings true this time.

At this very second, life has been good, that I can safely say.

Happy quokka 

Letting go is hard to do...

Today, I don't feel like waking up.
For I know that today I have to do something so despicable ever in my adult life.
Even the weather seems mad at me.
But I have no choice and I've exercised my options.
In order to move forward we have to let some things go, even if they're your beloved.

Allah ya rabb, have mercy and do forgive me on my decision. Please release me from the agonizing guilt.
As much as the deed is very wrong, I have to, I must.

My furry friends. Forgive mommy & daddy. We have to let you go.

All 11 of you will be dearly missed.

Ya Allah, give me strength.
