“sehr sub”

It was his idea to have all the cards to be framed and hanged on the wall. So we went to buy the cheapest frame we can think of (have to save more since we busted our budget) and we spent an evening arranging the cards to be fitted in 28" x 20" frame. It’s no artwork, but I like it. He said that those wishes are prayers for us. (No worries..for those who didn’t give us any cards, your sms-es and testimonials wishes are appreciated as well.)

So there I was sitting at the end of our petite dining table (where he usually sits) with the frame staring right at me. I can’t help not to read all the cards. So, I read through card by card. I guess, that’s the feeling you got when you look at something that brings out a fond memory. I felt as if it was only yesterday. I felt as if it was only yesterday, that my life takes a different turn.

I blame it on the weather. Oh, I do love this kind of weather. The kind of weather that you wish you have nothing to do except drink hot chocolate or tea while reading a good novel, sitting on your favorite sofa with your fleece blanket and you wearing the coziest worn-out pyjamas. Well..at least that’s how I picture how I would spend a nice day like this! But - now here comes the but - unfortunately, I have to finish a report that I can’t do because I don’t have the CBCL manual for the 1 1/2 - 5 years form. On top of that, I haven’t done the ADHD workbook and this weather and that "fond memory" feeling that has swept over me calms me so much that I am thinking of skipping tomorrow’s tuition class and do everything, tomorrow’s night. The fact that I am typing this down now, at 5.56pm on a Wednesday agrees that I might skip the class tomorrow~~~ In a while, I will have to be ready to go to my tuition class & by the time I get back tonight, I will be so worn off and head straight to bed.

I stole this from him. Hehe… I love it.

My special thanks to my family (my parent & sibs) & extended family (my aunts, uncles & cousins who helped so much during the kenduri). Without them, everything wouldn’t work the way it supposed to. They were there way before the kenduri & stayed until after the kenduri. As usual, my family is my backbone. Mak Besar, Abah, Mak Na & Ayah Run who HELPED A LOT! I am forever in debt with them. The rest of my aunts & uncles & cousins who did not take a break during the kenduri, not until everything was clean and clear!

My bridesmaids; Sya, Ain & Nad who attended to my beck & call. They stayed up until late for me & listened to my whines & painted the henna & let me lend her lap (Ain!) so that my toenails could be painted (Nad!). To Sya who (non-stop) making sure that I sit straight and smile all the way & who we dragged along for photo shoot that evening.

To Yah, Eddie, Qia who helped with egg wrapping, goodie bags & even helped my mom to fry ikan kering! Hahaha.. Yah & Eddie, a favorite quote from my mom, "Mak suka lah Yah dengan Eddie tu, boleh tolong kat dapur".

To Fadhilah & Apad! You are both very dear~~~ Thanks for making me felt like I was some sort of celebrity (haha) with those flashes & clicking of camera! Thanks for Syam who willingly  stood on chairs, lying down on the floor, even drove us to dataran to take our pics! Nasib baik ada Sya yang comel nak teman~~~ Hahahha..

To all friends far and near, thanks for coming! Thanks for the wishes. Thanks for the gifts! For the record, the most popular gift is BEDSHEET! Which we love every single one of them! Well, I AM THRILLED actually. You have just help to fulfill my habit of changing bedsheet like million times a year! Now, the bed will have new sheet every month! Yeay! Everyone gave a different kind of present, which is very nice. It ranges from books to home equipment to services to money! Thank you so much!

Kedah’s reception went well. We looked nice (or so I thought) in blue. Thanks to Pak Dit & Mak Dik who housed me for a night & fed us with delicious food.

It was a tiring day (both Johor & Kedah - especially in Johor) but it was an eventful day. Ermm..I don’t think Muqri will have much problem memorizing my family as I would in getting to know his family! He has HUGE, HUMONGOUS extended family, and with same title. Hahahahha..

Well, that’s about it then. If I missed anyone, forgive my forgetful mind ya..Thanks all for the helps and contributions to the happiness and joyful days!May your good deeds be blessed and will be returned to you in every way it should.

With love,
Arfah
