Spending Quality Time & Quiet Moments...

There are times I wished that,
selfish as I know I am,
I could have him all to myself and not share him with the rest of the world...

I like spending quality time with him...
Just the two of us...
Where we have quiet moments...
Knowing in the stillness of that moment,
no words have to be said...
It is understood that we were saying
"I am glad to be here with you, just the two of us"

You would think that him just coming over would be enough...
For me,
the answer would be no...
Watching TV just vegging out...
Whilst others are screaming for your attention...
Like my dad asking him if LIVERPOOL was playing that night...
My brother droning on about his marathon training...
My sister's MSN messenger pinging in the background...

You get the picture...
I do not call that QUALITY time...

It is times like shopping for groceries where it's just the both of us...
Him trying out his camera at different angles...
Trying to find the best angles to shoot his reluctant target...
Me trying to cook whilst I protest the ingredients he is putting into the pot without my consent...

I love my quiet moments...
We learn so much more about each other...
which is advisable when you are engaged anyway...

So...
A TOAST...
to
Quality Time...
&
Quiet Moments

Decorating a Room...

On Saturday,
before my Hari Kebangsaan practice...
My fiance and I went off to find paint so I sent off a message to my friends saying

"Dmana mmbli cat yg ada lots of variety?"

Imagine my confusion when Marya replied "meaning?"

When my colleague called me to say "Cat kan? Not kucing?"

Aiya!!!! I mean PAINT NOT KUCING... Pyh jua sms ani ah...

Okay, so my friends have recommended a few places where I can find paint with variety

1. the paint hardware store, right beside Elken at Batu Besurat complexes
2. the paint hardware store that sells Dulux and KCC paint at Jln Batu Besurat (where the complex is U-shaped and it's somewhere in the middle) if you do not mind spending money, and you need a special mix of color you can come here...
3. Chemiland... Sells Nippon paint... Love the range of color it provides (i think the one at Serusop is also Chemiland, but I went to Kiulap)

there's lots more but I'm too tired to find anymore...

Planning to look your best...

It is not easy to look your best for your day...

It involves a lot of work from yourself... and a bit of fairy dust from your fairy godmother...
i.e. your makeup artist...

Finding the right makeup artist is essential...

You have to test out everything like...

1. can they do hair as well as make-up...
2. will they be able to bring out your best features (pslnya ada yg pndai makeupkan urg lawa gnya or even worse, yg lawa pun buleh jdi bida!!!)
3. will they take the time to make sure that you look good
4. plus you have to decide if you mind having male makeup artist for your nikah (check with your parents and groom too k.)
   

so yes, a lot goes into planning to look your best...

a lot of exercise helps... because not only does it reduce stress, it also makes you fitter and we hope to God that make you lose weight and tone yourself... just remember to wash your face immediately after sweat dries, coz you do not want to get zits...

a bride is so high maintenance i know..
however,
"your wedding day is the first day of the rest of your life"
so it's better to start off right...

if you have curves,
embrace them...
don't stress over it... they are lovely...
if you are more stream-lined,
embrace the fact voluptuous women envy you for being able to look good in anything...
:)

Planning a Wedding dress...

Okay...

On Sunday, I went to this wedding boutique that lots of my friends have recommended to me...
It's not easy trying to find the best sort baju that fits well to a body that is particularly plus-sized, not that I'm ashamed of it, i love my curves...

Service: Very impressive...
The owner shoots straight... Will be honest with you about what color and cut suits you...
Applauds innovation... Is not afraid to use color... And there was this bride and groom who came before us, who said that we have come to the right place... You know that she is very passionate about her business... She makes sure that you will be satisfied because she herself will not be satisfied unless perfection is achieved... (pretty much why she is really sought after)...

So I have until end of February to find the right tone of color that I want for my wedding... But I think I have already found that color at that boutique... But I'll try...

*sigh... i love these moments where things fall into place*

Mark your calendars...

Mark your calendars peeps!!!!

29th November 2009 is my day....
