D Photograph. D Videograph.

Dear Diary,

Syukur Alhamdulilah.

I can't help feeling so surreal when I wake up this morning. D and I are almosttttt there. Insyaallah. Insyaallah. Amin. We have settle most things that we need to settle, secure the things we need to secure. I have booked my catering & deco quite long time ago already since my uncle, I call him Momok (not being rude or whatever, but that name has stick since long time ago) has a catering & deco services plus inclusive of the Wedding Cake and DJ. And Ayah you know him lah, doesn't trust anybody else when it comes to food and stuff like that. He is afraid the food is not nice or they cook lesser than what they're supposed to since he likes to invite God knows how many people.  Tsk! So he doesn't want me to "venture" elsewhere.

Plus giving the leniency that Ayah doesn't bother me much on my wedding preferences and likings like how he did before during Adik & Ressal's Wedding, I'm consider quite lucky. So I'll abide by his wants for the catering. Lalalalala~

So yesterday we secure the Videography + Photography for our wedding. 

After work, I met D at his work place at Marina South Pier. I have never been to this side of Singapore yet. The moment I reach there, it feels like how I felt the first time when I stepped foot onto Punggol. Not many people were there though, quite a number of foreigners who came for sight-seeing and photographing purposes.

I continue walking around while waiting for my  to get changed.

Pretty place definitely but I was feeling quite hot already. Lol! And reception was bad. It was then few minutes later I saw D walking towards me.

We headed down to Paya Lebar, walked around the new Paya Lebar Mall before heading for our Photography + Videography appointment with Kak Airon at Ubi. Sadly, the new mall has nothing much. Only 2 storey high tall which is also not so high. Lol! Our appointment was at 5pm and we were there as early as 3.30pm. So D asked me to text Kak Airon if we could come in earlier and she was even glad that we could.

---

We cabbed to Kak Airon's place from Paya Lebar, the funny thing I haven't alighted from the cab, one leg was inside the cab, while one leg was outside, the moment D closed the door, the cab driver just drove away thinking I've exited the cab. I almost scream and D face look quite panic. So I quickly managed to jump out of the cab. And mind you, I was wearing a super long dress with high heels somemore. Thank God I didn't fall ahhhh. Can you just imagine?! And D kept laughing at me after that. Basketball that man. Here I was feeling quite scared and panic thinking of the aftermath, prolly thinking the cab driver was going to kidnap me and run away with me. Woahhhh, so paiseh! It'll be even more embarrassing if I were to fall in front of D. Confirm like nangka busuk ah. My goshhhhhh! Lucky me. And ermm...yes, I still feel quite paiseh around D. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Maybe in years to come then I'll probably be less paiseh ah. Lol! Not like other couples who could just eat messily in front of each other or fart or do nonsense things with each other. I ermmm....kennut. I kennut lah.

Anyway, I was quite surprised that it is a house that we were heading to instead of a studio venue.

Me: Awak, you rasa-rasa we are in the correct place tak eh? It's a rumahhhhh, not a studio. I ingatkan studio. Ni confirm kan betul? You rasa-rasa kita kene kidnap tak eh? Is it safe?
D: Hahahaha! Merepek lah you. Safe lah. Siapa lah yang nak kidnap kita. Tadi taxi driver tu pun you ingatkan dia nak kidnap you. You ehhh! Tak habis-habis dengan kidnap.

Ehhhhhh, I very scared one okay! Anyway, we were greeted warmly by Kak Airon the moment we stepped foot into her house. And the first thing she asked me,

Kak Airon: Are you guys afraid of cats?
Me: Noooo! I loveeeeeee cats!
D: I'm okay with cats.
Kak Airon: Ahh, then that's good.
Me: But tu lah, usually cats are afraid of me. They'll run away from me.
Kak Airon: Are you the kind that will squeeze the cat and peluk-peluk all?
Me: YESSSS!
Kak Airon: Do you mind if I release them?
Me: THEM?!
Kak Airon: Yes them!
Me: I DON'T MIND!!!!!
Kak Airon: Hahahahaha! She really loves cat.
D: Ah dia memang!

So Kak Airon showed the videos and photograph package that we'll be getting and stuff like that. I was listening but most of the time distracted playing with the cats! Omigod seriously ahhhh, damn adorable those cats. Too cuteeeeeee already.

Say Hello Cumiiiiiiii! Hehehehehe!

He has a Scottish fold breed. His mom is. Omigodddddddd.

Kak Airon: You have cats too at home eh?
Me: Nope takde.
Kak Airon: Then how are you able to overcome your fear of cats?
Me: I don't know. I just love cats since young.
Kak Airon: Then kenapa tak get one?
Me: My parents don't allow. Always wanted one since young but they said no. Maybe Insyaallah, future house. Hehehe! *Look at D*
Kak Airon: Hahahaha! Insyaallah.
D: *Stares back at me*

Kak Airon: Anyway for videos wise, you guys can choose the all the songs you want.
Me: Really?!
Kak Airon: Yes. About 7 to 8 songs.
Me: Omigod. Okay-okay! I know what songs I want already!
D: *Stares at me*
Kak Airon: Hahahaha! I notice you always like to stare at her when she say some things here and there, macam salah cakap gitu. Hahaha!
Me: A'a. Dia memang.
Kak Airon: If people don't know him thinks he is like sombong and doesn't talk much. He looks like the kind who is stern and serious. While you are the opposite. You look like the happily, bubbly and cheerful kind.
Me: Hehehehe! Yes I am.
D: *Stares at me*
Kak Airon: Must be because of his job lah eh. Make you this way.

I'm spicing up D's life I'm supposed or maybe creating balance like Star Wars. LOLOLOLS! And then there was one part, the bride was making a speech and she cried.
.
D: Habis lah ni. Confirm you nangis also.
Kak Airon: She will ke? I don't think so lah. I thought she is the bubbly and cheery kind.
D: Hm! She will CONFIRM cry!
Kak Airon: Ohhh! She is also the emotional wreck kind eh?
D: Yah, sikit-sikit je nangis. Must prepare the toilet tissue roll already.
Me: Kurang asam betul.
Kak Airon: Toilet tissue roll? Tak perlu ehhh.

All in all, we secure the package for next year already. Alhamdulilah! So after, D send me home by cab and he took public home from my house. While in the taxi, we were discussing more intense on the things that is left to do. But guess what? The taxi driver increase the volume of the radio because he wanted to hear the news. So rude kan! Since it was a grab taxi's, I told D to screen shot the driver's face and I wanted to write in or FB it lah. But D being D told me to let it go. Hahahaha! This kind of people also have. Tsk!

Till here.

To all the Chinese people who is celebrating the new year. Happy CNY to people like D and I who have Chinese blood flowing inside us. Lol! And to those who are not celebrating, Happy Holidays all. I am just going to sit at home and not spend money already. Save Save Save.

XOXO,

Cardiac.

Dear Diary,

2 days ago, Ayah had a heart attack. I didn't know he had the same attack 4 days ago before the current one. He didn't mention it to anyone.

All I remember was my brother rushing to my room and went "Kakak bangun kak! Ayah kak!" I'm a heavy sleeper but when I'm being awaken like that, I'll panic and jumped off my bed. So I rushed to the living room and saw Ayah looking very pale and trying to grasp his breath. Adik was there trying to calm him down and gave him a sip of water to drink.

It took me sometime before my "processer" started working and I shouted for Ayah's medication (GTN) and shouted to my siblings "Call the ambulance! Call ambulance!" and my siblings did. Plus thank God Ayah had his GTN under his tongue by then. So, I rubbed Vicks on his chest at the same time read a lot of selawat so that he'll feels better. Few minutes later, Ayah felt better. I almost wanted to cry but I hold back my tears. (Forever acting strong. ) I lay my head on his chest, slightly hugging him. And I just cannot imagine losing the people I love anymore.  I felt really really scared at that point of time.

When the ambulance arrived, man being man, it's just a man thing, Ayah refused to follow the medic to the hospital because he said he already felt better. They did an ECG on spot for Ayah and said, his heart looks fine for now but said it's best to bring him to the hospital for further investigation. So me being me and the rest of the siblings forced the medic to take Ayah away to the hospital.

The medic advice us that we can choose to head to the hospital later because he'll be in the A&E and chances are we won't be allowed in. So to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) Ayah was sent to.

---

I went to work in the morning to validate patients' report as my senior and manager wasn't in today. After which, received a call from Ayah's doctor that they are going to do an Angioplasty and Stent procedure for Ayah. The same procedure Ayah went through 12 years ago. This time there was another blockage on his 2nd main major blood vessels.

I took the afternoon off and headed off to the hospital. Ayah looks fine by then when I reached there, probably because they had already given him quite a bit of medication which helps in dilating his blood vessels and reduces his heart's workload. Managed to chat with Ayah for 2 hours before the nurses took him away for his procedure and is said they'll call me once the procedure has completed which will take about 2-3 hours.

---

AZ heard about the incident and fetched me from the hospital mean while waiting Ayah's completion of procedure and brought me out for lunch since I was alone in the hospital and I barely know my way around NTFGH. So we decided to cafe hunt and try Peachy's In The Secret Hideout.



They are seriously super generous in their food portion. Look at that! I can't even finish this. Lolols! But I don't mind coming here again though. It's worth the money and definitely the portion.

So after lunch, I was feeling so bad leaving my 2 other colleagues in the office to work alone. So, I told AZ to send me back to work, it was very nice of AZ to always do the sweetest little tiniest things for me. =') I helped JM & E with the processing and what not and AZ send me back to the hospital after that. Just nice, I received a call from the hospital saying that Ayah's procedure is completed and is now in ICU for monitoring.

Ayah stayed in the ICU for a day before being transferred to the ward the next following evening. His ward was all the way on the 14th level and you could see MBS from there. It's just so pretty, the view I mean but not of course the stay. Thoughts of staying in the hospital, whoever likes it right? Duh.

Just look at the view. How nice!

And since NTFGH is surrounded by few shopping centres like IMM, JEM, Jcube, Westgate. After visiting Ayah, we went to you knowwww splurge on desserts like this. Hehehe!

Twelve Cupcakes in IMM

All things was well, Ayah was discharge yesterday. Syukur Alhamdulilah. Fetched Ayah from the hospital to settle his medication and follow-up appointments etc etc. He then said he wanted to eat Chicken Rice and Chendol because he was hungry. So I took the old man for lunch and dessert at the Kopitiam before Ressal fetched him home, because I had my dermatologist appointment at Jurong itself after that.

The nurses asked him to attend like quit smoking kind of programme but he told the nurses he wasn't interested. Tsk!  So they told me to go back all the way to the pharmacy to take this booklet for him. Just in case, who knows, he might change his decision then.

 

While waiting for Ressal to come and fetch Ayah . This little girl kept looking at me and so I was teasing her away. Hehehe! Look at those cheeks!

 

 

----

 

I was super early for my dermatologist appointment. Still had 2 hours before my appointment time was up. I was feeling so hungry but I couldn't eat as I was going to have dinner with my bestfriends and I'm the kind once I eat something, I'll be full to eat anymore. Plus, it was raining and I couldn't sit on those resting chairs as they were all wet due to the rain.

 

Then heck I thought. I just went to a nearby food court and order White Carrot Cake just to kill time and to have a sit. HAHAHAHA!

 

 

After my dermatologist appointment, I force my tummy to eat again with my bestfriends. Oh well! Just look the amount of food I had yesterday. Hahahaha! I will start growing rounderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. HAHAHA!

 

---

Anyway, can't wait to end the day for today to go home and rest. I have an appointment with D later on after work at Ubi at 5pm. Have to head to D's workplace to meet him first before Ubi. Haizzz. I've been feeling very lethargic with work, with preparation and with everything that is going on now. I just need a day to sleep in and rest at home. But what is rest now that you think again? Laundry. Vacuuming. Mopping. OH GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!! But...sacrifices. These were the things Mama had done for me, for us.

Till here. Have a good rest all. Don't overwork like me. Heh.

XOXO,

JB Weekend.

Dear Diary,

I gave my friend's wedding a miss today because I didn't have any companion to go with me today. Sad siaaaaaa my life. And I guess D also purposely choose not to text me today so that he can secretly escape not accompanying me too. Haizzzz. Oh well. Apa-apa lah ye.

 

Anyway, I had Popeye's for Breakfast + Lunch & Dinner together. It was yummeh! It was said I look like as if I haven't eaten for hundred days. Lol!  After which, an idea strike and we headed off to JB. Like one of my friend Amin said before "Kau minah kampung ah Zie. Pasal kau jakun kan, so bawa kau jalan-jalan bagus. Because people like you are rare. You appreciate little things in life. Kalau bawa orang yang dah selalu pergi holidays, macam takde feel ah. To them it's nothing." The fact he calls me Minah Kampung. Basketball.

 

But I can't deny that fact that I do get excited over little things. And today, was my first time to experience first hand pumping petrol in a car. Haha! Nothing to be excited about again but I was. Practically, shaking the car up and down macam faham ah like that. HAHAHAHA!

 

 

And just like how I used to love following Mama and Ayah around at night especially to pump the car's petrol, so that I could buy snacks & tidbits. The same thing I did today. Look at that! Chocolate Brownie Magnum Ice-Cream! Yummmmmms.

 

 

I'm a happy Princess. Oh yes, I am slowly recuperating now.  Syukur Alhamdulilah. Much much better. No more fever, no more flu, slight sore throat. And the way back to Singapore wasn't much of a jam too. And today for the first time, an ICA officer asked me for my IC number, he went like "Kak, IC number apa eh?" The first time I felt like I was doubt being myself. Lol! It's either I look too Chinese in person but my passport has a Malay name or I don't even look like myself in the passport itself. But I was okay with it of course, he was just doing his job anyway.

 

 

Till here. Goodnight lovelies! End of my cheat day weekend & starting again with my crash dieting weekdays.

 

P.S: I drank coffee and now I can't sleep.

 

XOXO.

 

3 Gigantic Cs

Dear Diary,

1223 hours

I'm down with the flu bug, as well as fever. I'm okay to have the flu though my nose keep leaking like a broken pipe..BUT as the mucus gets accumulated at your nose and throat especially, you'll get infected with a sore throat. And as all of you know, sickness & me doesn't go very well. So you can just picture me with my 3 gigantic Cs.

Crankiness

Crying

Cravings

Oh yes, I crave a lot when I'm unwell. That's when the nonsense kicks in. Lol! I craved for Fish Soup yesterday. Mee Siam this morning and now it has just past an hour I had Mee Siam, I am already craving for Nasi Lemak. Lol! Really hope I can recover faster. I've self-medicate myself with the best of knowledge on these 3 drugs.

Chlorpheniramine - To relieve my running rose that is literally running.

Difflam - To soothe and numb my throat

Ibuprofen - To bring down my fever

And I took 4life Trans-factor Plus pills to kick-start my immune system.

Enough of me being sick. Recently, I saw a lot of Facebook posts on couples like this and how people commenting them looking cute. Cute mehhh like this? Like spoil the picture only because the girl is that short. Lol! I'm saying other people but you see, that is how I stand on ground with D actually. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

So I think I will search for a much much higher heels when the date is nearing.

 

Anyway, found this on Facebook and I am sharing these for all you Brides and Grooms out there. The top 15 Malay Bridal Boutiques to consider when getting married.

But actually out of the 15, I only like 3 of it. Hehehehe!

 

2231 hours

 

A friend from Secondary school got married today. Syukur Alhamdulilah. His wedding card is so damn unique. It resembles those immigration white card before you travel out of the country. So you can have a good guess what my friend is working as already by now. Lol!

 

I am really more than honoured to receive Wedding invitation each time. I mean no obligation, to invite also can, not to invite also can, because no matter what, I will still pray the best for people. But the problem comes in when I'm always invited to a wedding where my close friends are not invited or not close to or don't even know the bride & groom. Yes, I must have this "many" friends that even my close friends are not close with. Lol! And it always always always happens to me.

 

It gives me this huge dilemma on how am I supposed to attend the wedding. Yes, I can bring D along but the problem is my boyfriend doesn't like attending this kind of thing. Haizzzz! Especially when he is working on that day like from morning or night shift. So leceh ah that man. Sometimes it annoys me so much, if for his friends semua boleh, semua no problem. But when it comes to me "See first lah. Insya'Allah lah." 1001 excuses. Yes, the best reply is always Insyaallah. Like it has been said, sebaik-baiknya jawapan adalah Insyaallah. But this man's Insyaallah is also another meaning = Kirim salam sudahhhhh.  And in my heart I'll be like "Teman sekejap pun tak boleh ke? Boleh mati ke ikut skejap. Lepas pergi makan balik what." Like everyone is also tired everyday too. Zzz! I still have to work, do house chores somemore. Hellooooooo?  

 

And I'm not that unreasonable okay, because I even offer to cab back and forth one. It's only nice to attend something when people invited you. I can't be asking my bestfriends because one is married and she got her own family day on weekend, and the other one, super shy nak mampus. And my other friends and girlfriends are Chinese. Zzz! Sooooooooo....tell me how, D is the ONLY person I can hope which is not very the hopeful. Plus, I don't like to not attend something when I'm invited.

 

Haizzzzzzzz. Dilemma lehhhhh. This man I tell you he always like to behave like this, I'm going to be a mak-mak mode on now. When his time come to get married and nobody wants to attend his wedding baru tahu ah! Then don't start questioning why people don't want to come. Kthanksbye!

 

..................

...........

.....

..

.

 

On second thought, I just thought that saying that is also jeopardizing my marriage. Because isn't D's wedding, my wedding too?  But I always attend people's wedding one sehhhh. Tskkk. K lah bye.

 

XOXO,

Princess Azie Anni ♥
