At last, we're done.

Finally. On Friday, 28th July 2006, at 9.10pm, hubby & I have completed the marriage prep course, although that's only the ninth session. Well, the 10th will be the day when the couple (with both parents) will be officially given the certificates.

Yeay! Lepas tu boleh kahwin! Ye-ye!

Wakakaka! I'm soooooooo happy! No more late, tired nights for me on every Mondays and Fridays. No more squabling between hubby & me each time we decide what to take (MRT or cab) to go home. Cause by then, I'm extremely worn out.

Love you, hubby... & mishing you loadds hunny bunny....
MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUacks!

Hmm... how many days more before I become a Missus??

Tarian Girls of Wellington Pri.

I simply love them! Nice moves BUT the ambience wasn't there. They were too nervous till some didn't dare to smile. Here's pics of them. Performance at ChristChurch Sec...

Got home at around 9++ pm. Switched on my laptop. Tot of doing my powerpoint slides but... yeah u guessed rite. I dozed off!

I woke up only at 2.30 am. Realized I left everything on. The TV, lights. laptop gone. Slides not saved. Even my contacts are still on. Damn! My eyes were like too itchy this morning. So, there you have it --> the makcik of the day, with my glasses on. Damn, I look horrible! But then again, who cares... hmm. My students cared.

The young ones forever care... Haiz. Nothing about the teacher goes unnoticeable from them. The young ones.

ROMM.

Getting married,

Getting married,

(singing to da tune of Are You Sleeping?)

Nyeaha!! After work on Tuesday, I rushed home to change and bla bla bla, met B, hailed a cab, off to meet Baba at the ROMM. Wow wee...

Finally, we've booked the date, kadi and did you know that there's an interview?? As if we're going for a job interview. Wakakaka! Forgot, I am gonna haf another job --> being a WIFE, and of course the daughter-in-law! BAH!

Hopefully months after that, then I'll be a mom. If God permits...

Show at Taman Warisan Melayu.

I finally got the chance to head back to my tarian track again for after a few months missing in action. Hehehe... The situation now is very different. Every lil' step I take, I have to report to B. It's not controlling but rather being concern. I can sort of understand his position. Other than his mom, I'm the only love he has. Ok, puke all you want!

Losing me will be like ____ (B help fill this up for me ya). Threatened him twice so I know his reaction. Hey, dun judge us ya. Being judgemental when you dunno the reason is unhealthy, you know.

Ok, back to my tarian story. Below is what I look like during training. On Wednesdays, it's usually a long day for me. After school ends, I have contact time and then followed by the tarian training, all the way at Majlis Pusat, Toa Payoh Central CC. Imagine, at 6.50am, from home, Woodlands, to Wellington Pri, Sembawang, and then to Toa Payoh, and finally back home at 10.30pm. Ain't it a long day and an extremely long journey... Lucky for me, I have Pinky.

And so, had a show juz now at the Taman Warisan Melayu. Quite tired now. But I really enjoyed juz now as it's been a long time I've been MIA.

Looking forward for Kak Mar to upload the pictures we took juz now. Hehehe.. I forgot to bring along my camera lah. What to do...

But I do have a pic taken months back during the Rangsang Rias Pusaka Bangsa.

Hidup Kirana Seni!

Meetin my 9-yr long fren at MOE excelFest.

Ayu: Hello girl...
Niza: AYU!! Tak sangka kau amik session ni jugak.

Wakaka! Opening statement from the both of us for after almost 3-4 years 'disappearing' from each other's lives. We met at Xinmin Sec. Last minute I asked wic skul she's heading to for the excelFEST. We're only aware that we are both going to the same skul, same session but didn't know tat we're sitting for the same sharing.

While we're supposed to be looking at the display section prepared by the Seng Kang Pri ML teachers, we sat at the back & chatted for a while.

Whoa. I kinda missh my secondary skul frens all now.

We were saying that it's kinda sad when we tink back, among the 4 close frens, 3 make it to be a teacher. Well, sort of soon gonna-be one for the other 2 (Niza & Nurul) coz I'm already a full-pledged teacher now. Niza awaiting to start her course at NIE with effect from late dis month. Nurul has to do 1 1/2 years of contract teaching first.

Good luck to u girls, ya!

Weekend Getaway.

As it's the weekend plus yesterday's a school holiday (Youth Day), some of us might have cross the border to Malaysia. And where did I went?

S-C-H-O-O-L. Was at work the whole day on Saturday coz it's our Open House. Had to help out at the Malay Language stall, selling bunga telur, ketupat, ondeh-ondeh, ubat gigi HALAL and baulu. All hand-made, mind you. Lucky to have Norlin around coz Khatijah had to mend the other stalls. The kids were like biscuits. Sometimes they're there, sometimes God knows where they are hiding. But they sure did a good job selling the stuffs. Girls are better at this. Boys... find this a drag. Thumbs up, girls!

T-O-W-N. Yeayness! Finally after a few months, me & B headed again to Town. When to search for our barang2 hantaran. Decided to give B the Guess watch. Quite ex, but hell I won't be giving him a ring what... Funny thing was, B wanted to buy me the Burberry bag. He tot Burberry's cheap. Hahaha! He got a shocked. $1,509. He tot it'd be around $500... Never mind lah, B. Any brand is fine with me tapi jangan lak u give me Poccilini, Disney or Powerpuff bag tau! Spank euu nanti. :) If you give me that, I make sure you use that for work k...

H-O-M-E. I stayed home the whole day on Monday to finish up on my Lesson Plan before heading out for my 3rd session of the Marriage Preparatory course. Ustaz Maarof is real fun. Really down-to-earth. His explanations are simple to understand. But there's one part that I dun quite agree on. About the timings, i.e, 20 secs untuk ambil wudu', 3 min untuk solat, etc... If everything is done real fast, i.e, bacaan Al-Fateha akan menjadi tunggang terbalik. Tajwidnya salah2 dsb. Sebutannya dan sekaligus maknanya dikhuatirkan akan menjadi lain. But, who am I to say...

Anyway, someone whom Nurul and I know, (Ain, U know him too. It's Zulhilmi.) passed away on Sunday. We only got the news yesterday. The sad thing is, Nurul and her fiance, Hairul, saw him at Far East on the early part of the night he passed away. She wanted to tegur him but didn't as Hairul told her to do that after buying the things she needed first. But in the end she didn't get to see Zul. He'd left. On the way home, the 2nd tunnel at CTE, Nurul saw an accident involving a motorcycle. Little did she knew it's Zul. He died in a fatal accident. She's still in a daze now. Even I can't believe it. Aku doakan agar Allahyarham Zulhilmi ditempatkan dengan mereka yang soleh dan soleha. Amin. Amin. Amin.
