Noise Rearranged: the long due updates

Sangat lama tak update. Not that anyone cares kan. Hehe. No, not saying that in an annoyed tone or whatever alrite. I guess the readers of this lame blog are mostly friends I meet almost everyday. Friends who would know, or be in, the happenings in my life, one way or another. So, updating this blog is just another pastime, I guess.

The novelties of the events have probably worn off, but I’ll write them here anyway. Probably can jog my memory when I’m down with Alzheimer’s or something. Provided I still have my eyesight all right that is. And still computer literate too. And not too crooked rheumatoid hands. Or grandkids who would spare their time to read for their frail granny. Oh my…so many conditions arent’ there?

Ok where do I start?

It was on 26th August 2006. Everything was happening so fast that, at one stage, I felt overwhelmed. Cold feet ke kalau ikut omputih? Yela yela I know this is just an engagement, not a wedding. But it is going to that direction right? I am happy, don’t get me wrong. I am, in fact, ecstatic. Suffice to say, it felt right. With him. With our families. With love. Eceh… ;)
Balik Msia during summer with no idea whatsoever that I was gonna have a ring on my finger. Two rings in fact. Sampai Msia on Saturday, June 24th. B amek cuti. Monday, went to Klang to see his family for the first time. Bukan nak bgtau kite awal2! Cuak tak ingat punyelah! B asyik gelakkan aku je. Said, dah faham perasaan die bile jumpa my parents? Yela yela orang faham.. *wink* His family was really great..made me feel at ease..I think I talked to much tho’..that happens when I’m nervous. Otherwise, no problemo…hehhehh…

A few weeks later, his parents came to merisik. A long story in quite a short time before it came to that. Nak tau? Talk to me personally. Haha! Nway, it coincided with Kak Farah’s wedding that week. Congrats Kak Farah! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to your kenduri. Esah's wedding was on the weekend before. In her friendster message, Bolo said I didnt announce my engagement at Esah's kenduri when many of our SSP frens were there. Bolo, i didnt even know that i was gonna get engaged! ;)
esah & hizami

When I broke the news to my siblings, I was surprised by their reactions. No, not all of them really, but my brothers’. The sisters were okay, asyik usik2 and giggling about. They are all okay with B, even pau him a lot when we go out together. But ermm they wouldn’t like this if they read this blog..how do I say this…the boys were not so happy…I swear I saw tears! Which boy? The older one! Closer to him than the rest, prolly coz of the age difference. Said that it’s too soon, not ready to ‘let me go’, ‘tak sempat rasa growing up dgn kaklong’..oh sweet lil boy. I became teary myself. I know I have been away a lot…first ssp, then melaka, then banting, now here…sigh…

havin fun in PD, the most right is my fav aunt

Weeks thereafter, quite a lot of things to do. Mama suruh buat hantaran sendiri instead of beli yg dah siap kat SSF, baru ade ‘feel’. Byk jg kedai hantaran kat Jalan TAR tu, my fav is SSF. I’ve lost my creative touch eversince I became ‘medicalised’ ;) but thanx to the many pengantin magazines that peculiarly happened to be on the shelf, ( I think they belong to my aunt. I swear they aren’t mine!) , and thanx to the many helping hands, the hantarans turned out nice..in my fav colour lagi! Oh ye, we chose purple-ish, or orang kelantan panggil warna ‘biji kundang’. No idea what biji kundang is, but my mom kept using it to exemplify the kaler. Yg bukan kelantanese, contohnye my mak andam, memang terpinga2 when mama said it. Even kelantan celup like I am pun tak tau!
me to him ..

Talking about helping hands..Hani and Azreen came over to help out. It was fun..joking around..laughing..catching up and gossiping..Hani slept over..hehe I bullied her a bit, bought ikan patin and mintak dia masak asam pedas dia yg best tu! Hehe! FYI, asam pedas (yg merah) is an extraterrestrial dish for the house. Not for me tho, selalu makan elsewhere. Asam pedas kelantan lain, uses kunyit, hence it’s yellow. Tastes different too.

Hang out dgn Peah kat Midvalley..oh my..she’s anorexic! Hehe exaggerate sket! She looked lovely in the summer dress, and she is still the same person..sweet and full of life. Went hantaran- shopping with her too..

Also balik kampung for a few days coz Tok Ayah ada cataract operation kat HUSM. Nice hospital..tak appeared too busy. Best jg kalau keje kat situ. Nway, mama cakap, Tok Ayah likes to act tough, so I have to be by his side all the time, asking him to ikut ape Dr cakap..to not walk too fast (and left Wan kat blakang! Hehe) , to not drive or naik motor yet, to not lift heavy things, to not go to kebun yet, to let me bagi ayam itik makan..Well actually Tok Ayah didnt need to act tough, he looked tough already with his shades yg ala pilot tu!
macho kan tok ayah saye ;)
