December Wedding

Sharifah Nurul Huda waiting to be wed... she was extremely calm!

1 wedding done, another wedding to go… both in Penang! Surprisingly, last weekend’s traffic was fine. I can’t bear to think about this weekend though.

Imtiyaz was using my camera until the battery was out, so I couldn’t snap the photo of my cousin’s gorgeous deep turqoise + chocolate brown empire-waist wedding dress! The total look was divine, with simple but outstanding indian-like beadworks. Both my sis and I were eyeing the dress and plan to have one for ourselves – minus the heavy beadworks of course!

Last December 25th also marks my 5th wedding anniversary. I have been blessed all these years with everything one could ever wish for, I just can’t ask for more.

Thank you so much (to Mr Hubs) for everything, and please just know that I love you more than words can say, more than I’ve ever mentioned or showed. (I know I can be such a pain!)

… and thank you so much for the pink bling bling in the equally lovely black & gold box! Love it!

Holiday Season

My colleagues trying to figure out where their gifts are, but looking more like wanting to steal...

I had to miss the christmas party at boss’ house last night, because both me & hubs weren’t feeling too well. So I still haven’t gotten my gift from the gift exchange thingy we had (because the gift is with a colleague who is on sick leave today), so I can’t speculate who it is from.

But I like the idea of gift exchange, no matter how much the value is. The speculation of who the gift is from is so much fun, and makes really good lunch conversation! There’s even a pack of chupa chups lollipop dedicated to ‘Lunch Team’ with our names on it, and yet we are not sure whether it is from one of us, or someone outside the group.

Today we received a fleece jacket & a laptop sleeve from the company. Christmas gift, I reckon. We received a really huge luggage last year (which became hubs favourite luggage to dump in his safety boots & other tools for offshore assignments). The jacket would be more useful if we had it before the Iceland trip though. But nevertheless,

THANK YOU company!

I have 2 weddings to attend in Penang, 2 weeks in a row, starting this weekend. As much as I am looking forward to the wedding, I don’t quite like the idea of travelling during the holiday season. Too much stress involved!

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Family trip pleaseee…

Can you see whose faces are plastered all over?

After the few business trips since May this year, I am now very much looking forward to the family trip planned for January 2009.

A very much needed break for all of us, and a wonderful opening to the new year, InsyaAllah…

More volcanoes, hot springs & hard-core shopping for me..!

Baby Shower

… for the next mummy due! Hope everything will be smooth sailing Raz, and hope you like the gift! Can’t wait for Baby Ar****’s arrival! (special credit to Arianna who exposed the proposed baby name! hehe…)

Thanks Nor, for organizing… we sure enjoyed the funny ‘english tests’ games! All of us would need to brush up on our english and nursery rhymes kan?

I am counting the minutes…

to be home sweet home!

I need the extra sleep. I need the very much missed hugs and kisses from the boys.

I almost got a shock and thought I had found the greatest bargain in the world, at a duty free shop just a moment ago, when a Gucci handbag costs a little more than a million rupiah.

It wasn’t authentic obviously.  At an airport too! Go figure!
