Quantum of Solace

Last Monday marked exactly a year of our courtship. Yey! This is what I got for him for our anniversary. He always got me flowers sent to the office and this time it was his turn. Sometimes I myself could not believe ho w far we'd been progressing within a period of a year . From the brief met during meetings at various pla ces- KL, Putrajaya and even Sabah (where he finally approach me!), the not-so-frequent phone calls an d text messages to touch base and a couple of dates later..we finally became steady on March 8 last year. A couple of weeks after that, the talk ab out marriage came to surface and followed with meet-the-parents session which was a nerve wrecking one for me. The first time I was supposed to met his parents, I al so ended up meeting the rest o f the fami ly which include 6 other siblings + spouses and 17 nieces and nephews!! For someone who came from a small family, I was over whelmed with the meet. Luckily, they held the gathering around a buffet dinn er, so fo...

Enough of words..let the pics do the talking...! Tokyo was great - the people were nice and courteous (at least the one that I had encountered with), the city was clean and the transportation systems were superb, however, no matter how great the place is, I guess the best place to be is with your love one...there is where the heart is... sorry jiwang sikit =)

I went there with another lady officer from KKLW. As all MAS’ and JAL’s direct flight to Tokyo were fully booked, we got there via Vietnam Airlines (VA) instead. I had no qualms upon using different airlines; in fact I look forward to observe their uniforms and the unique hospitality that they offer. The only drawback was that we couldn’t get the direct flight, so we had to transit in Hanoi for 5 hours…uhh. Well, at least that was stated in my flight itinerary and boarding pass. The fact was we actually had to go to Ho Chin Minh City first, BEFORE went to Hanoi. Nobody told us that, even the girl at the counter, we just figured it out as we got onboard. I blamed my bad Geography for this, and also lack of information from the check-in counter! My misfortune with the airline staff went on as we got to Ho Chin Minh, (I forgot the name of the airport). As our vessel number was the same as the one bound for Hanoi, so it was only natural for us to think that it was going to be a short stop,...

Konnichiwa! =) I just came back from Tokyo last Thursday. Had been there for a week and came back the evening before Idul Adha. Even if I do travel quite a lot, I still loathe packing. It is a long and tiring process, starting with doing a check list first. No matter where I go, near or far, for business or leisure, I will always start my packing by jotting down every stuff that I will bring along. My list will be as detail as what to wear on day one till the last. And by ‘what to wear’ it means the complete match of the shirt/work attire -pants/skirt-hijab-undergarment-set of brooches. Owh yes, I’m never a light traveler. I will not taking any chance, thus I will bring every little thing that’s important for me- my own toiletries (complete with my own shower foam and loofah), stationery and of course my 3 in 1 – Rich Nescafe to get me going (this item is actually rank first in my check list!). Even during DPA, I still rigidly adhere to my checklist that during the Army Training module...

Alhamdulillah, MH (previously known as ML) and I are now married! It has been 12 days since we first entered the new phase of our life and I’m still trying to get used to be referred to as Puan =) I don’t intend to spill on the details of the wedding in this entry as I haven’t got my wedding pics yet. Tak surprise lah kan =) But some of the pics taken by family and friends who attended the wedding (thanks guys for coming!) are already in the Facebook. I seriously hope the pics will turn out well as I’m not the photogenic type, unlike MH who can effortlessly strikes a pose even with the phone camera! As for me even if I gave my brightest smile, somehow it in the pics it will turn out either muka sedih or mata kuyu huhuhuu. That’s why I prefer candid photos, it’s more natural. Undeniably other than the addressing-thing there are a lot of other things that we need to get used to. There are still lot about him that I need to learn and understand especially since we decided to get marr...

How time flies!! There are still another 14 days before our wedding and God, I still have plenty of things to do! I got so many things in my hands other than the wedding itself thus making me having serious panic attack right now. We have moved.... ML and I are going to live with my Mom after the wedding but the house that we were living then was not very suitable for the three of us, thus we had to move out . After much wandering di taman-taman perumahan , we finally found our so-called perfect home. But the chore did not stop there. By the time we found the house, I was really busy with this annual event that I could not spare the time to do the packing. Thus immediately after the event, I took a 3-days leave and started packing for the whole house!! Finally, we managed to move on August 30th. Yes, in the fasting month! Sangatlah penat even as we had a few extra helping hands from the neighbours. But it was worth it. We really like the house and it's surrounding. And I guess b...

They can forget what they have told you, But you can never forget how they make you feel....
