Deep sleep

I wanna be sleeping beauty. Not dead just fall into a deep deep deep sleep. For as long as it takes.

I dont want no prince charming to wake me up either. I just want to be in a deep deep deep sleep.

And when I woke up... everything is back to normal. No fights. Nothing. Just the way things used to be. Be it family or friends.

Can I be sleeping beauty?  Not dead just fallen into a deep deep deep sleep.

The Wedding Affair: Finally She's Married

Alhamdulillah...like finally my eldest sister tied the knot last week, March 8 2014. Congratulations to my best baker and to my oldest-yet-youngest brother in-law...welcome to the family. <3

I was not involved in the pre-wedding preparations that much as i was in school and with visa complications and all...i only manage to be home 3 days before the wedding. Frustrating visa issues as always.

The wedding this time round is a little different that the previous 2. If the previous 2 weddings was held at a community club, this wedding is held at the mosque, al-Mawaddah. The first wedding was a one day affair. The second wedding was a 3 days affair. This wedding is a 2 days affair. Shall i make mine to be a 4 days affair?? :p

The bridal henna was done by SyraSkins and she did a wonderful job as always. She even did for me and my niece.

And its non other than the talented and magical hands of Ishq by Nora Zee that transformed my sister into the most beautiful bride ever. She's so pretty. And i love all her outfits. Rase macam nak kawin jugak.

The lovely Purple Songket that makes everyone go gaga... so beautiful.

Ouh not forgetting Elly for coming over the house so early in the morning to help the 3 of us with our make up, she wonderful as always. We were in a rush cause the solemnization was at 10am and we only manage to leave the house at 930am. Thank you Elly for working real fast to get us ready. :) macam kite yang nak naik pelamin gitu. :D

You Again

You seems to be appearing everywhere lately.

I saw you in my dream again a few days back. The dream theme this time is 'back to school.'

And I saw you again today. No not in my dream.  At least not today.

My heart skips a beat. And when it starts to beat again its like I just ended a marathon race. 

Will this ever stop? It's something I've been working on since like forever.........

Here's to a brand new year

Realising (only now) the importance of what was thought during humanities (social studies & history) and literature classes back in secondary school.

The ability to read more than what was portrayed on the surface.  The ability to not just follow blindly and believe just one source. The ability to cross reference every given source before arriving to a conclusion. Most importantly the ability to search and seek the truth.

So kids out there (or you would prefer to be referred as teenagers) take your secondary school's education seriously. What is thought now is the most valuable thing you could ever have. Be in in the classroom or out.

Its the most valuable time of your life.  Make the best of it.

Here's to 2014. Happy new year all!! :)

Lots of ♥
