Yups.. It has been awhile since the last update. How have you been?
Things have been pretty hectic at the work front, with the boss still out of the office for over a month already. She has been busy nursing her mom at the hospital since early of February. Hence, I have been frequenting the hospital every week to update her on our current project status. Imagine us having a corporate discussion at the hospital's cafeteria, where most of the people there are either sick or visiting sick people.
I have also been busy sorting out the wedding stuffs after working hours and during the weekends. We have been going out every weekend now trying to grab all the good deals on the hantaran stuffs while the Mega Sale is still on. Penat tak hengat punya duk pusing-pusing the malls, i.e. Mid Valley, Sogo, Pavillion... Most of the hantaran for Mr Judge dah settle, just tinggal his shoes and wallet je. Mine, however, will have to wait for my friend to come back from The States. This weekend, we are going ring hunting pulak... (yeah.. no F1 @ Sepang this year).
We have also been busy scouting out for a house. A visit to the MAPEX 2008 had sent us on a surprising trip to Rawang. YES, RAWANG! We actually LOVE the house. Love the huge windows... Love the huge tub... Love the outdoor shower... Love love love the layout of the entire house. And yes, we didn't wait too long to grab a unit of our own. However, after we left the place, reality suddenly sets in. The picture of the lovely house suddenly got erased from our minds as we shared our joy of buying the house with family and friends. Everyone gave us nothing but negative comments about buying a property in Rawang. pok pek pok pek... And being the typical indecisive guy that he is, Mr Judge had called to cancel the purchase today. Sedey.... Coz now we are back to square one!
There are still lots to do. My credit card has been heavily damaged after all the shopping madness. How am I going to sustain until July?
How did all of you, married people, handled the pre-wedding stress?

hehe alaa kesian dia
this is all expected dear. But again and again, you must always remember my piece of advice to you dulu. Must always remember the main niat of membina masjid nih. Insyallah God will make ways for you. Jgn stress lebih2 k :*
my take on it is to always remember that the both of you are a team of 2. in deciding on matter that involve your future, you only need to satisfy the both of you. others will come in with comments and advice but in the end it should be down to you. unless orang lain yang foot the bill then kena laa dengar pandangan orang tu la kan. hehe.
I had my share of stress re the weding, and at the time near to it..we were both travelling to different ends of the world. Even simple things like getting the baju for the hantaran became a teary drama.
But after a while, we realised that it wasn't worth it. Someone said weddings are also an occassion for the parents (since they foot the bills too sometimes) and we should give-in to a certain extent. I drew my line at wearing a tiara, but did most of the things my mom wanted. It turned out alright.
I believe Mr Judge is doing a wonderful job as your other half. Don't worry, it'll all be worth it.
Re the house, nothing in KL itself is available for the price of a gorgeous house in Rawang or Shah Alam. We are house hunting too, and the houses within KL area (like Sering Ukay, dah tengok?) macam dah burst budget. good luck. Most improtatnly, both of you are willing to stay wherever you decide and make it a home.
Pre-wedding stress??????? thats nothing compared with married life. I mean, this is THE BEGINNING. InsyaAllah, u will handle this well.
sabar babe,
the s3x is worth it.
err...i mean the togetherness of being married.
call me if you need help, okay?
ejan:
thanks for the reminder babe... yeah i guess u r right.. tak stress sgt dah.. hari tuh ter'over' sket je..
:D
acat:
btul jugak kan...
will have to embed that in my head frm now on.. thanks for the tips dude!
lion3ss:
u pun tanak pakai tiara?? hahaha sama laa kita... oooooh tanaaaaak *drama queen jap*
But what u said about wedding being an occassion for parents tuh mmg right. somehow you just have to puas kan their hati kan...
Sering Ukay is nice....! kinda like the house we saw in Rawang, only that one was a semi-D. However, I don't think we can afford Sering rite now.
good luck with the house hunting yeah.. have to find one with a garden for the lil cub to play ;)
some guy:
the beginning eh... i can't imagine what's in store on the other side of the wall.. however, i guess i'd just have to take things one step at a time.
thanks for the advise yeah.
fairygodmother:
i can always rely on you to be VERY frank... hehehe... that's the thing i like most bout u pun.. :)
am looking fwd for the 'togetherness' time, now that you've put it that way... muahahaha..
will definitely call once i've settled all the major things nieh k.. thanks for the offer babe!
Binx - also check out Villa Putra @ Sungai Buloh. Also a semi-d!
dear
sabar bebanyak
seb baik exam dah lepas
imagine having to sit for exam masa bulan posa, then shopping2 sumer during the holy month of ramadhan, then kawin
lagi stress
insyaAllah you'll get through it
i did!
anyway, got finaz for you for 20072008..
eee bestnye making the rounds for hantarans eh? i can almost feel the excitement and anticipation ;-)
but of course, there's that 'rush of blood to the head' ya? pre-wedding stress is normal becoz it's a time of both impending joy, yet, there's so much to do...not to mention the potentially 'dramatic' episodes(read: komen2 yg tak diingini in the form of pok-pek2, or disagreements about what u want versus what other ppl want or think is better for u)...
Looking back, I actually enjoyed that phase, but of course, even up 'till the very big day there's always something or another that u'll have to deal with...
Just remember that what's more important is the life u will build together AFTER that big day...so no matter what stress ur going through now, it'll all be worth it because you'll finally be with The One ;-)
don't forget to go treat urself for a pampering pengantin session mandi bunga what have u, just a few days before D-day, and oh, escape to a great honeymoon, which will definitely be a stress-reliever... tee hee... :-D
not forgetting, the classic advice everybody gives to brides-to-be: don't forget to breathe!
I'm sure u and Mr. Judge will do just fine..all the best! :-)
