The end is just the beginning

4:22 AM

Salam and greetings to all my readers..

As of 7.22pm today, I've managed to finish all of my job in the office. Alhamdulillah.

I know you must have been wondering what does my work has to do with all of you, that I feel the sudden need to announce it out loud.

See, since I've done all of my work, I'm allowed to take earlier leave than I thought of before. This is part of the conversation I had with my dearest supervisor, who is recovering from her nerve breakdown.


...
Me: Puan, what are you doing here?
My Supervisor (MS): Ikeen, what are YOU doing here?
Me: You're sick!
MS: You're getting married!
Me: I can't take a leave. Dr. M said I should finish my journal first, or else he won't allow me to get married.
MS: He's not allowing you to get married at all until you've finished your PhD! (She laughed)
...

I nearly cried when I heard her laughed. Alhamdulillah, she's recovering.

Back to the story of me finishing my work, then I'm allowed to take earlier leave (though I have to come tomorrow cuz I have a short meeting with the Dean) which means, this will be my last entry in this blog.

As the name suggests, A preparation for my BIG day, I'm nearly done preparing.

I know, the BIG day might not turn out exactly like you want it to be. I wanted a small intimate wedding celebration, but my mum wants it to be grander. I wanted a flower girl, I bought all the cute stuff for her, but in the end, we are not going to have any flower girls. Breaks my heart a little, but in the end, what important most is that, I have a happy ending with the love of my life. Or rather a happy beginning. The ending is the beginning after all.

It is hard for me to let go of this blog. But life goes on. I will still keep it open for public and should you need to seek any advice from me, just email me. I'm here to help.

Thank you for reading my blogs, for the advice, for keeping me strong at times I'm not able to stand up still. Also, forgive me for all the wrongdoings.

I am now counting the days..

And I will upload picture of our weddings, videos and such in my other blog..


Till then, doakan yang baik2, dengan ikhlas untuk my future hubby and I.

Quoting from what my supervisor told me when she nagged me to take a break earlier,

"Sometimes you do your work until you forget the world,
And one day, when you're not doing your work, you'll realize, the world is forgetting about you."

Mums are sooo funny

6:48 PM

First thing first, the good news..

I WON GOLD IN ITEX 2010!!!!!!! Surely my best wedding gift ever :)

And, i just got back from the Registrar's room.

Yes, registrar. For the whole 7 years in the university, this is the first time I went to the registrar's office.. to send my wedding card, how funny.

So here's the story. One fine day, my mum called me..

Mum: Kakak, can you help me pass your wedding card to my high school best friend. He works in Uniten.
Me: Ok. What's his name?
Mum: Mr. F.
Me: Mr. F as in the Registrar??
Mum: You know him?
Me: Who? The registrar? Of course i know him!! Mum, siapa yang tak kenal registrar??
Mum: But he didn't know you. I called and he said he didn't know you! How come he didn't know you! (Got all emotional) Should have call him again and describe to him properly, he must've forgotten.
Me: Mum!!! Don't you dare! Of course he didn't know me. I am like ikan bilis. And he's like the registrar!!
Mum: He's just an officer.
Me: Mum he's a registrar. Do you have any idea what a registrar means? And all of these years, you didn't tell me your friend is MY registrar?????!! I could've asked him to sign the futsal's certificates a bit faster!
Mum: (Not at all interested..) Whatever, so can you see him?
Me: Nobody sees the registrar to pass a wedding card, Mum. That's the function of PA, even I didn't see my own Dean to pass my wedding card.
Mum: (I don't think she's listening) I can't beleive he didn't know who you are..
Me: I can't beleive you think the registrar knows me!

One of my best wedding gift would be..

2:50 AM

If i get another gold medal for ITEX just now.

I did the presentation since my boss was not feeling well.

Trying to impress the judge within 10 minutes


And yup, another one would be if my boss would be able to make it to my wedding.

I love her a lot. And God knows how lost I am, going through one of the most important exhibition without her. (T_T)

I hope to get that medal for her, to cheer her up, she's a strong person, she'll get through this, i know..

Thanks Iza Lyana!

7:19 PM

I haven't been in a peace state of mind.

BIG day is next week.

This week, my life was hectic..

Monday and Tuesday, busy preparing for QE Audit and 5S. I was the leader for my level. You really gotta see my office room. I looked like a freaking OCD, labelling most of the items in the room.

Wednesday and Thursday, had a short course the whole day! After short course, went back to my room to do my work until 9pm ok! (T_T)

And tomorrow, I am participating in an international exhibition, ITEX! Come over and support us at KL Convention Centre if you have time!



Due to the super hectic schedule, I haven't got time to check my blog, until this morning that I realized a message from Iza Lyana. Soooo sweeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttt okay! I nearly cried.. Thank you, Izaaa!

That reminds me of the card Iza gave me during the bachelorette party, that I treasured so much. Let me share with all of you that piece of advice which I'm sure Iza don't mind sharing..

"Dear Ikeen,

My mum always told me, to love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you corage. So, my greatest wish for you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least :)
-Iza"
Really sweeeettt..

Especially if you know me and you know the ups and downs 'Love' and I had for the past 8years plus.

Some people had it easy, this long term relationship. But, us.. we learned everything the hardest way. There are times I couldn't forget the stuffs my future hubby did to me in the past. But, I remembered each and every little piece of advice from Iza, Nonee, Nadrah and Myra during pillow talk on the night of my bachelorette party..


And Nonee said, "Kalau kat bantal putih ni ada satu dot kotor, kita tak tengok pun bahagian bersih yang lain, kita akan complain pasal satu dot kotor tu je."

I love you, Sayang. hope I will ALWAYS keep in mind all the advices from our dearest friends.

As for Iza, thank *YOU*. May Allah bless you and Shariz forever and for always.

Shariz and Iza

Dear Ikeen,

8:07 AM

I know it's been a month now since your bachelorrete party but whatever..haha! So sorry for posting so late. Honestly..I really have no idea what to write sebab I didn't do much pun....i just brought my makeup and susun elok2 atas meja. That's it. lol!!

Now..it's only erm...less than 2weeks before you officially become a wife. I'm sure you must feel so ecstatic! and nervous at the same time? hehe...Well, I would be if I'm at your place. ;)

With this, since I have your login (haha!! i suggest you better change you password. lol. ;p) I would like to take this opportunity to say something or give some advise..i guess? hehe.

Ikeen, being a wife is not an easy task. Just in a few while, you yourself will be a wife. And you'll be surrounded with wives complaining about finances, and how they wish their husband would help out around the house more. you'll hear the usual complaints about how their husbands do not do the dishes, or the laundry, or how they wish their husbands would change a diaper now and then. In time, you'll hear many of the wives complain that their husbands spend too much time on the computer, or they sit around the house on the weekends, or do nothing but watch football. Believe me, even though i'm not a wife (yet!), I have heard it all! :D Some of the largest complaints are how their husbands forget their birthdays or anniversaries. hehe.

Then, as you sit and think about all that you've heard, you can't help but smile. They have no idea how trivial and insignificant those things really are.

If your husband doesn't do the dishes today, you won't mind, because he has eaten the meal with us.

If your husband never picks up his laundry today, and even leaves his shorts on the bathroom floor, you won't mind, because today he took a shower at home.

If your husband never changes a diaper today, you won't mind, because today he is holding your child.

If your husband spends the day playing video games on the computer, you won't mind, because you able to see him relax..

If your husband lies around the house and does nothing today, you won't mind, at least he has the weekend off from work.

If your husband has his buddies over to watch football every Monday night, you won't mind, because he is home and you get to see him with his buddies.

If your husband forgets your birthday, or anniversary, you won't mind, because you know he always has the best of intentions at heart.

All those things won't bother you in the least. Don't fight over simple things like that, for the bigger picture is much more complicated. Everybody is not perfect, but he has his best intentions at heart. Remember, happy marriages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blossom when we love the one we married. :)

You and your Love, will have the very best days of your entire life. Your Love loves you sooo much tooo much even a blind man can see and feel how deep that love is. You have to do nothing but be grateful to have him in your life and he'll be the luckiest person on earth to have you by his side.

Happy Wedding Day Ikeen.

Lots of love,
Iza

Memories

8:50 PM

Browsing through some old photos of me for the slide show.

Lucky for me, I'm the first child, so I've lots of pictures in each and every birthday, properly stored in the study room. Lucky also for me, my dad loves photography.

This almost brings tears to my eyes, on how such-a-pain-in-the-ass I've been to both of my parents. On how I could get away with almost everything in my life just because I'm the first child and because I'm the only girl.

Well, before I share some photos of my childhood that are very dear to me, let me show you a picture of the pelamin used during the wedding of my parents. I looked at mom and laughed. Mom, we're seriously world apart, please don't compare mine and yours or you'll end up saying the cliche you love most, "Tak meriah!" ;p


The first picture of me! Lying on my Dad's sampin that he wore during his aqad.


During Aqiqah, held by my Dad.

The familiar situation we had during Raya, with both of my parents and both of my grandparents. Me on my dearest grandmum a.k.a Mak's lap!

With my cousins and my childhood friend, Dr. Boy. Dr. Boy and I are still close to each other and he'll be coming to my wedding, yay!


With my Dad's bestest bestest friends during our vacation to Penang. They will all be there on my wedding..

In our old house in Pandan, I miss that house a lot.. With both of my brothers and Mum.

Now i can!

8:46 PM

I can say that now, I'm more at peace to marry the love of my life because I've finally completed a thing I wanted so much to complete before I got married.. One of my nazar..

Baru lepas khatam Al-Quran again yesterday.

Alhamdulillah. :)

Bila niat baik, insya Allah dipermudahkan.
