Character Judgement

Uncle Singh said:

You are a very determined person. At times you might be a bit aggressive in order to ensure that you will get your way. But don't get me wrong... You are not pushy, just determined. This attribute plus your willingness to initiate and explore new things will ensure that you'll become a good leader in the future.


Future FIL said:

You have a strong character and a strong mind.


A colleague said:

I believe that you will be able to get what you want because you will make sure that you get it.


Mr Judge said:

You nieh degil and you have your own mind. But that's one of the things that I like about you.



hmmm....

Conclusion: I'm a hard-headed, pushy person

*smile*




binx: yeay! i'm finally a confirmed staff!

Some people can be so insensitive!

The invitations are out!

I have finally managed to distribute the invitation to my colleagues yesterday. And after personally delivering the cards personally to each and every person on the 17th floor, I was actually taken aback by how insensitive people could be...

Situation 1:

Mr. S: The ladies in my department have been asking me questions about your wedding card...
Me: What kind of questions?
Mr. S: Well, they asked... "Kenapa nama mak dia sorang je dalam kad nieh? Bapak dia dah takde ke?"
Me: So what did you tell them?
Mr. S: I told them.. "Bapak dia ada lagi....". I didn't want to elaborate much
Me: oook... and?
Mr. S: And they asked again... "If bapak dia ada kenapa takde nama dalam kad nieh?"
Me: They really have to ask THAT?

Can't they figure it out already???

Situation 2:

Mr C: Thank you for the invite...
Me: No problem..
Mr C: Eh, bukan father you ada "Datuk" ke?
Me: Errrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... yes, I think so...
Mr C: Then why in your name tak letak his title? Takkan so humble kut?
Me: Well.... (very uncomfortable)... My parents are divorced... (don't wanna explain more)
Mr C: So?
Me: He was title'less when he left us.. So I don't see the point of putting in the title!
Mr C: But still takkan laa tuh pun tanak letak kut...
Me: It's going to be a reception held by my mother... so I seriously don't see the importance on the title being in the invitation card!

Urrrggghhh.....!!!

Today I have to endure another round of uncomfortable'ness when I have to distribute the invites to my old colleagues on the 5th floor and also see the Beast...


UPDATE:


Me: Hi Beast...
Beast: Hey.. what are you doing here?
Me: Just want to pass u an invite to my wedding
Beast: *wide eyes* U'RE TAKING THE PLUNGE?
Me: *smile* *smile*
Beast: I THOUGHT U'LL NEVER TAKE THE PLUNGE!! *dengan penuh hasat dengki*

Oh my... It was like she had taken a sharp knife and plunged it to my heart, there and then...
:(




binx: i hate nosy people!

Trying times...

I understand that Allah is trying to test my patience and also the magnitude of my relationship with Mr Judge. And I am not complaining nor am I giving up.

I guess everything happens for a reason....

The huge argument that we had last Sunday, that almost bring the wedding plans to a halt, had made us stronger, as a couple. It had cleared most of the misunderstanding that had been the cause of friction between us for the past month. I really hope and wish that there will be no more rows for the next 6 weeks (gosh... time flies so fast!).

Last Tuesday's event had also test my ability to adapt with Mr Judge's family and relatives when I was given a task to assist with the kenduri arwah for his late grandfather that had passed away that morning. Memang mencabar and there were times when I almost lost my tamper in dealing with his relatives. However, I've managed to suck it up and had survived the day without making any new enemies... :)

I have been going to his house straight from work for the past 2 days. I consider it as my duty to help his mother with the preparation for the kenduri arwah for 3 days on a row. I don't mind doing it. In fact, it just seems natural to be there amongst his family members.


Gosh.... I really hope that things will speed up smoothly. I wish I could just fast forward everything to the day after our wedding coz by then we'll already be in Bali!!!




binx: *sigh*

There goes my week!

Just when I thought that the week was going to be a smooth sailing one, things suddenly went wrong.

Maybe I have just jinxed it by saying out loud...

Maybe the force of nature was just out to get me...

There I was, walking out of the office at 6 p.m. on Monday evening (I don't usually get out of the office until after 7 p.m.), joking with Mr Judge on the phone when I saw the parking attendant came rushing towards me...

"Tadi ada pokok jatuh atas kereta you!"

WHAT???!!!

"Dua kereta sebelah kereta you hancur! Cermin semua pecah!"

SISH!!!

I quickly rushed towards my car and found that the roof was wrecked and there were scratches all over the body.

uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........!!

"Nasib baik tada pecah itu cermin... Awak nasib baik!"


Yeah. I was really thankful for that.

I was thankful that I had a sudden urge that morning to leave a space for another car in between mine and the white wira (I would usually just park next another car).

I was thankful that the tree fell on the white wira and the car that was parked in between my car and the white wira.

I was thankful that only half of my car's roof was hit by the tree.

However............

I am sad that I now have a car with dented roof and scratched body.

I am sad that I have to fork out a huge sum of money to get my car fixed, when I need to use the money for the wedding expenses.

I am sad that I now have to find a safer parking space to park my car and most of the car park around the office are all full!


*sigh*




binx: sad :(

Meet the Clan Weekend

I was looking through Mr Judge's phone last Friday and saw the reminder he set for the weekend,

"Meet Binxie's Clan"

I just can't help but to laugh.. Kesian dia.. Mesti dah tension sangat coz kena ajak balik Kelantan to meet my relatives.

So, he survived the trip without any scars and bruises... Just an extra few kilos of fat due to the delicious nasi minyak and nasi kerabu cooked by my uncle and aunty.

**********

Things are getting better now.

Though I can't really tell whether the ceremony will go on without a glitch, I can only pray and hope that it will go on.




binx: here's to a great week ahead!

Bucket load of tears

I have been doing nothing but cry since last Sunday...


Sunday - due to some miscommunication with Mr Judge
Tuesday - due to this
Wednesday - due to some miscommunication with Mom relating to the above issue
Thursday - same as above


Why is it so hard to control the tears from falling????


Why is it so stressful to prepare for a wedding????


I seriously don't feel like getting married anymore... Especially if it means that I will have my nightmare-free sleep back.




binx: *sob* *sob*

There's a HUGE sack of potato on my head!

That's how i feel right now.

The doctor had diagnosed me having a viral infection in my "tekak" sampai bengkak that had caused me to cough non-stop for the past two weeks. However, after giving me the necessary meds to get well, and after taking it twice, I now have a HUGE headache!!! Oh yeah, and I vomitted in the car on the way to work this morning (nasib baik ada plastic extra dalam keta). Gosh! Why do you have to get new illness to get well? I just don't understand...

I haven't been blogging much lately due to the hectic schedule *sigh*. However, I am still not out of loop with my favourite blogs, thanks to google read. So...........

2. Congrats to the newlyweds, hyelbaine & wife. It was a lovely ceremony and both of you looked radiant.
