Our First Hick Up

We had our first family to family discussion for our dream last Saturday. But today we experienced a hick up along the way.

I was totally dumbfounded. There are 1001 reasons to have a combined reception, and only 1 reason to do it separately. I could not comprehend this.

However, after a very long thought. I decided that in order to start a new life, accepting a new family, I forgo our initial plan. I would not want to have any beef with anyone. So, I said okay. And my parents, being their flexible selves, they also agreed for a separate reception.

So here we are, instead of having the reception six months after solemnisation, we will be having two receptions - one ala grande hahaha and another one basic bertandang.

Life is lovely innit? 

It sure was, it sure is, it sure will.

Love,
Mia 💕

Happiest 24th Young Lady

So....

Happy birthday to me I guess?

Planned the perfect scenario in my head since a month before my birthday. Like I dont want any gift in the form of material. Just because I NEED a good company and a day out. But of course, a week before my birthday, work came and there goes my perfect birthday trip.

So, there it was, 2nd August 2018, a Thursday. Spent the whole day in the meeting room; scrutinising assumptions for our business financial modelling. Luckily enough, it was not dreadful. Perhaps because I was in the mood or just birthday magics ha-ha! 

And if you know me, I am by definition, an extremely hyper girl. Especially. When. I. Am. Excited! I was so pumped up I needed to channel the energy out. And there, you could find Fareed & I in the middle of Kuala Lumpur for an adhoc trip. Not that I am not physically tired. But my emotion was so intense, it overpowered my physical/mental fatigue.

5.45pm sharp, clocked out, dozed off to Damansara and to KL. First destination, Petaling Street. Mainly because the theme to the trip was “jalan jalan makan angin”. I wanted to just spend my time with my sweetheart and then I saw Lee Wah Florist, the infamous florist in town. And I thought, you know what, why not buy the flower yourself. So I dragged him into the shop, fascinated by the vast choice of flowers and colours. But I wanted roses. I've always loved roses. Nothing significant, but when I think of flowers, I think of roses. To me it's the classic flower. The uncle said, "dalam ada lagi banyak". And I rushed into the air conditioned room and oh my my.....

MY HEAVEN!

SO MANY ROSES, SO MANY BABY BREATHS, SO MANY HYDRANGEAS!

SO. MANY. FLOWERS!!

As expected, I went cray cray hahaha. I'm already excited. Then Koobs whispered, "You pilihlah mana you suka, I belanja". Oh dear, am I not happy enough? My eyes widen yay. Choose punya choose, I spent almost 40 minutes in there & done-so I ended up with not one but twoooo bouquets. Ahh such love.

Of course after such excitement, it wore me down. So we had to get some food to fill our empty stomach. We made our way to Tapak Urban Street Food near Jalan Ampang to have our dinner overlooking the gracious KLCC Twin Towers. Romantic lan konon konon kan hiks. I had Kuey Teow Goreng and Koobs had some hipster burrito. And the rest is history.

So there goes my birthday. Nothing eventful, no material gifts. Just presence of the things I love.

Simple little things just made me so happy











Love,
Mia

We Said Yes?

What can I say,
                          I am so in love with this guy.



Having said that, a relationship is never always happy. It can be a lil dull at times. But when that moment comes, you try your best to lift it back.

As for us, we are in the midst of planning. Today we have started our initial to do list and budgeting. I am somewhat excited that we are finally strategizing our lives towards what we have longed anticipated. Lama ok bercinta lol!

Despite that, recently, we were always arguing over big stuff. Heck, even over small stuff. It is excruatingly exhausting! Me being a softy, I could not hold back my tears.

I asked my mum, why are we like this? We’re supposed to be more supportive than ever. Happier more than ever. 

She said, it is the norm to be tested. Especially when two parties are deciding to make it halal. The satans will always try their best to ruin the children of Adam.

Alhamdulillah, like really, i thanked Allah - that our test does not involves third party but ourselves. So perhaps, it is a lesson or chance for us to understand better, tolerate better and be better in general. 

Cannot wait to wake up another day and having you as my other half ❤️

Miah - Madly in love.

Highlight of the Week

HALO THERE!
Assalamualaikum!

Seems like this is my first entry ever after bfg haha so proud lol. I just felt the happiest today for this week, for so long. If last week I felt like the whole universe was against me. Today, was completely the opposite of that. Today just made up to whole episode of sorrow, frustrations and rejections I endured last week. Alhamdulillah, praises to Allah #syukur There’s nothing very special about today to be honest, but every simple little things was just in place, perfectly.

Like a usual Sunday, I woke up and went straight to the kitchen to check out on every other human being living under the same roof with me haha and like a baby who needs her mother, I naturally will look for my mummy first. Then came dad and the rest of my siblings. Had those normal morning chit chat at the kitchen, which is not so quite so normal anymore because I felt like I haven’t been experiencing this for quite a while. But of course, being present physically with my family is just so homely. So many years abroad, and especially this year, both quality and quantity times with love ones couldn’t be achieved. It was such a luxury. But being home, I’m so grateful, I can topup those lost moments. Hopefully. I will take what I can get for now hehe.

Then, in the evening I went out for a date with Fareed. Our food date… YAS! He picked me up at home and we went to Jusco. Well initially just to fulfill my crave for a piece of cake. But suddenly when we were there, the crave subsided because I suddenly wanted sushi. But... But... The queue was terribly long, so we went for Ichiban Ramen instead. How quite did my mind changed aye? SUCH FLICKERED MINDED YOU AMIRAH HAHAHA. Guess we need another date for my cake crave fulfillment lol.

The day resumed with the search of cactuses and succulents. Like last two weeks I found this tweet on very bright and beautifully arranged babies of cactuses and succulents. I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE. I told myself I needed to get these cuties. And today, I did! YAY!
Tips to take care of it by the seller:
  1.   Put them under the sun. Perhaps not directly but enough for them to get the Vitamin Ds haha.
  2. Water them once weekly. Best to put them inside a bowl of water, partially submerge the pot into the water so that the water is absorbed from the bottom. Instead of watering them from above.
  3. Extra water fertilisers - like the transparent water beads we usually play when we were kids hehe. But this is not necessary tho.

Gosh I just can’t wait to grow the collection. Used to wonder why people would love cactuses and succulents a lot. But I guess, I have found a reason to it :)

What shall I name these babies aye? Hmm.


And the fact that I spontaneously grabbed my polaroid camera before going out was the best spontaneous decision I have made. Perhaps because months ago, I was slightly upset that it couldn’t function properly anymore. I tried everything - I changed the old films, I changed the battery (after 5 years!), I cleaned it up. But to no avail. So I just rested it on my shelf, having a little hope that maybe it will function again later. And last week when I was cleaning my room, I grabbed it. Again, tried to fix the battery. Like oh maybe I put in the battery in a wrong order. And yknow guys, THAT WAS IT. That was THE reason all these while. Oh how foolish you Amirah, wasted the feeling data (which I’ve got plenty. Hahaha I’m such a feeler guys. If that is even a word haha :P). So yes, I totally experimented again with the polaroid, aaaaaaa the feeling guys, the feeling! Somewhat a mixture of relieved, satisfied and filled.

The results are... Him with his "Waja Den" hehehe


With my enemy of all time - FIFA18. MY GOD!

& last but not least, my Fareed sweetheart <3


Best of all, I got the call I’ve been expecting hehe. Last week I went for an interview for a job in MPH. It wasn’t any engineering related job but I just needed to do something instead of sitting at home. I need money to sustain my life, to not feel useless at home, and to not ask money from my parents. Imagine being financially independent for three years and suddenly I had to unwillingly asked them. I just cannot. So this call, just truly a blessing, alhamdulillah. Excited gila I squaled hahaha because prior to the call, when Fareed and I passed by MPH, I said “Haa dah takde notice dah dekat pintu tu, and it has been a week, so I guess I didn’t get the job.”  Obviously kan? But like an hour later I got a call. HAHAHA FREAKING EXCITED I TELL YOU. Cannot imagine in the future when I secure a permanent proper job.

So yknow… Today I realised two things.

First, have some hobby or interest. It will keep you occupied enough to distract yourself from feeling those unnecessary sadness. I have long abandoned my creative side in me. However lately I’ve been getting the sensations back. I felt like writing, like drawing and painting, like taking pictures. So you know, just do it. Just do it! Occupy your time. Help yourself do whatever is going to make you feel better and happy. Life is too short to constantly have those worries and sadness.

& second, I also realised that life is more than just the worrying and failures. It is more to learning from this bittersweet journey. That is if you fail, it is ok as long as you learn to get up. God is not merciless that He would torture you. No! He just wants you to learn, be dependent and ask from Him. Because He never fails to grant our prayers. Only just, in His own way :)

So guys, have you count your blessing and say alhamdulillah today?

Mia xx

It is the 14th of May. And that means, 9 days to my first paper. The last battle for my degree life. Then, I am done. But till then. ME-RE-PUT. Hahahaha

So since exams are approaching, so does Ramadhan. So like always, we will have the UniKL BBQ session. Usually on Afeeq's birthday but this year we postponed to wait for Afeeq's sister to come. And the day is today.

Come to think of it, alahai... I cant really express my feelings. Not sure too emo or too numb haha. But for sure it's more to sad and sure rindu lah nak tinggal student life hmmph. Today was all sunny and right when we finished everything, renyai and berangin. Cannot stand weh padahal for hours it was sunny haha. We came here in a package of 10 but we go back in 8. But that's alright, God has better plan for all of us.

God what's next?

Birthday

Hello,

Hahaha this is so random but I was scrolling my social media and saw something. I really want a birthday celebration with pink and black/white balloons. Those hot pink balloons and shiny helium balloons. It's so expensive in Malaysia. One huge balloon cost around RM50. But the balloons in the UK is only £2=RM10. Maybe before I go back for good I will buy some for myself and just go to the party shop in Malaysia to fill the helium gas hehehe

<3

Random

Last Summer, I came back to the UK early with Fareed. Then, I moved out from my old house. He helped me with the moving. It was  tiring because I had a lot of stuff, no kidding! & because our travelling and commimuting with the jet lagging, it doubled the tiredness. By 8pm everything is done, so to reward him, I planned to cook. So I cooked. And let me tell you something. It happens every single time I am tired. My cooking will not be a success. It's either the chicken were overcooked, or undercooked or hangus. 

So that particular day, my nasi goreng was something wrong and the omelette hangus teruk that we had to throw it away. I was so stressed and feel like crying because I was tired and embarassed. I have been meaning to impress him. But this guy, Fareed, was smiling all the way. I asked him "Kenapa you senyum senyum ni. Tak sedap sangat sangat ke?". Then he replied, "Hahaha takdelah (menipu je lebih), you're the girl I want to marry." 

I think he was thinking habislah perut aku. Masak tak sedap and all. But it was a good pondering hehe. 

I dont know why I am writing this. Maybe because it's international women's day and I came across, "Women is great. You give them groceries, they make a meal out of it". Hahaha even if it's hangus and tak sedap, still a meal. 

And probably because, Fareed reached Malaysia 12hrs ago and he texted he reached home and visited the grave. And he texted asking for me but I was sleeping soundly for 12hrs and didnt realised his text when I promised him that he can contact me whenever he wants, that I will be there for him. His father passed away two days ago. Al fatihah to Uncle Azmi bin Abdul Samad. May Allah bless his soul and forgive him. And may he be amongst the righteous! Aamiin!
