Why?

Why is probably one of my many overused words. I am keen to question things and my questions are very prone to begin with why.

For instance,
why didn't you do your homeworks?
why were you late?
why did you forget?
why did you act strange?
why can't you understand?
why can't you try to understand?
why did you think you have to do it?
why did you try to conceal it?
why do you think that I won't know about it?

Yes, I love to ask a lot of why's.
Yes, I still ask a lot of why's even when I already knew the answer.
Yes, I rarely get satisfactory answers.
Yes, I can tell if people are trying to conceal the truth.

Unsurprisingly, why's are everyone's least favourite questions to answer. I can't quite understand why but it is probably because there is more than just a mere question. Why is a trap question, the kind of question that has fatal answers.

p/s : So, may I know why are you reading this post?

It's Only Life - Kate Voegele

Have you ever been tested with something that you think you will never be able to walk through it alive?

Have your heart been broken that you refuse to smile?

We will grow stronger in every test that we are forced to take and every decision that we are made to make.

Because in the end,

It's only life.

38 Do's and Dont's at Your Own Wedding

Found this while browsing for some bridal things. The original list can be viewed here. There are actually 75 items on the list but I have crossed out the things that are not needed and won't take place in my wedding. I sincerely hope this list will be able to tone down my bridzilla mode.  

1. Plan your day for yourself, not for others 
2. Take advantage of the Internet (sites, search engines etc.) 
3. Get the groom to be involved, it’s his wedding too 
4. Seat older guests away from loud music 
5. Pamper yourself! Treat your mom and girls to a spa day before the wedding 
6. Be realistic about weight loss goals when selecting your gown 
7. Consider some of your photos in black and white, they are timeless 
8. Have someone else do your makeup, you will be too nervous and critical 
9. Send your invitations out 6-8 weeks before the wedding 
10. Don’t invite guests you really don’t want to see at your wedding 
11. Try to stay within your allocated budget 
12. See several of each vendor before making these important decisions 
13. Go over the kinds of pictures you will want with your photographer well ahead of time 
14. Assign someone to collect and return all rented items from your wedding day 
15. Preserve your gown…your own daughter or another family member may be able to use it one day 
16. Look at your guests when walking down the aisle with a big smile, you don’t want to miss your own wedding  Have all of your travel documents 6 months in advance 
17. Store your wedding photos carefully 
18. Make important decisions well ahead of time regarding finances, housing, chores, etc… 
19. Attend bridal shows for ideas for your wedding 
20. Don’t skimp on the honeymoon, you will be sorry if you do 
21. If you have an outdoor ceremony be sure to have a backup in case of bad weather 
22. Be sure your Maid of honor knows how to bustle your dress 
23. Assign someone to attend to your gifts after the reception 
24. Make all payments in a timely manner 
25. Wear waterproof mascara 
26. Get a good nights sleep the night before your wedding 
27. Do not let friends or family talk you in to things you don’t want for your wedding 
28. Be sure to eat on your wedding day, it’s easy to forget or be too excited but you don’t want to get run down 
29. Give each other a wedding gift on your wedding night 
30. Take time to visit with as many guests as possible 
31. Be creative and personalize your wedding 
32. Do not get haircuts closer than 1 month before your wedding 
33. Make appointments with vendors so you are not disappointed if they are unavailable 
34. Think about how the wedding colors you select will look at the reception site 
35. Do not have drastically different hair and makeup from your everyday look 
36. Take time to look around and enjoy everything you have been planning for so long 
37. Be sure your photographer knows which guests you really want photos of 
38. ENJOY YOURSELF AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!

Honesty is The Best Policy

Me    : Should I buy this xxx skincare range?
Mom : Yeah..
Me    : But it's going to cost me a bomb!
Mom : But it's going to make you beautiful.
Me    : Oh. Are you telling me that I am not beautiful?
*Mom smiled sweetly*

Really, mommy? Really?
Sobs sobs sobs.

p/s : I may end up buying it. The whole set. I HAVE to be beautiful!

Wedding Jitters Part 1

Ok, so this is how it feels like when you're getting married.

1. You hardly have time for yourself. 24 hours are simply not enough. There are lots of things to do, loads more to see and even gazillions more to think. After all, regardless of how simple your wedding will turn out to be, you still want it to be as perfect as it can ever be. It is once-in-a-lifetime event kot! What do you expect, right?
2. Everything you see, reminds you of your wedding. For instance, 'eh, cantiklah ni. Boleh buat doorgifts ni.'. Even when you are too drown in your own thoughts to notice the things, there will always be someone else who will do the job for you. Best friends, MOM and sisters; they are very well-trained in this field. 
3. Maciks used to bomb me with their favourite question which was, 'Bila nak kawen?'. But now that they know that I am getting hitched, they kinda alter their questions a bit and try to make it sounds creative. They are feeding me with, 'So, how did you meet him?', 'How old is he?', and some of them even ask me to show them his pictures, which I turned down (muahahaha, I am keeping him as my ultimate surprise) nicely.
4. The students start to bombard me with 'Teacher, when are you getting married?'. Yes, so much for being students in this modern age. They don't feel scared (or intimidated as I used to feel) to ask teachers such questions. I, on the other hand, try to act cool and professional. So, I normally response their questions with either a blank stare or just a plain heartless smile. (I just realized that I wasn't acting cool, I was acting COLD instead! LOL).
5. There are GAZILLIONS of arguments taking place. You'll be surprised to know that you and your fiance can argue over little tiny petty trivial things. Wait! There is no such little tiny petty trivial things. Everything is huge and enormous and plays a gigantic role in planning a wedding. Hence explains the arguments. 
6. You are (very) prone to feel tired and can easily lose your temper, which is actually resulted from point number 1, and can lead to point number 5. 
7. You feel like changing your colour scheme every time you lay your eyes on anything that is bridal-associated. Yes, I still think of that although we had passed that most emotional-wrecking-and-eyes-bulging phase. 
8. I'm still in disbelief. I can't believe that I am finally getting married. And I am getting married to my bestest (yes, that word is grammatically wrong, I was just trying to emphasize how awesome he is) friend of all. 
9. As we progress with our checklist, we come to realize that the excitement is getting harder to contain.

...... to be continued.

500 days

I have this habit of counting days that we have spent together.
Looking at the number makes me realized that God must have love me so much that He decided to bless me with such a wonderful person.

And in shaa Allah, shall everything go according to plan, we will unite in the name of God. Our very own pure matrimony of love will be sealed this May 24th. May Allah ease this little plan of ours. Aamiin.

Anyway,

Happy 500th Day, Sweetheart.
Yes, it's been 500 days.
500 magnificent days.

Five hundreds days,
not a single day had passed us by
without me falling in love with you.

Through joy and sorrow,
through sun and rain,
through thick and thin,
through black and white,
through ups and downs,
through laughter and tears,
you have always been there with me.

To be loved by you,
and to love you,
are indeed two of the best things that ever happened in my life.
And with hands held high I shall pray,
that these two things will keep happening
for the rest of my life.

Happy 500th days.
I love you once,
I love you twice,
I love you more than beans and rice.
