Work, work, work...

I'm so exhausted. My boss is going on holiday next week and I've been assigned to finish all outstanding work by this Friday. So much to do la... Hubby's been working late in KL too. We rarely get to talk as often as we used to, which sucks coz I really miss talking to him. Even Boboy's feeling the pressure - Mama said he's been waiting at the door all day long for Hubby to come home and take him for a walk, sampai tertidur-tidur depan pintu. Ever since Baby's gone, Boboy has been in depressed mode lately. I think he could sense that he's losing his loved ones one by one- first it was me, then Baby, then soon Mama & Hubby. Kesian-nya dia... if only he knows that we are trying our best to bring him here in the UK, it won't be so bad.

OK, I'm starting to blab nonsense... I'm practically falling asleep already.... looks like an early night, again!

Summer Cleaning

I'm keeping myself very busy this weekend - mostly to keep my mind off from things that have been bothering me lately. I've also been very naughty starting back something that I'm not supposed to touch again ever. So, I'll occupy myself by cleaning the room - a major overhaul I'd say.

I'm going to file my bills and letters, store my winter clothes, clear off junk from my drawers and closets, clean and organise my toiletries & make-up, change the bedsheets and start 'vacuumming' the carpet.

In the books, its called "nesting instinct"... ;)

I miss you too, sayang.

My 2 weeks trip home went so fast, its unbelievable. There was so much to see and do (and eat!) but so little time. To all my friends that I could not get to catch up, I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you guys one day, I promise.

However the one thing that I did not regret was my time spent with the love of my life, Boboy. Every single spare moment I had (before I had to rush out of the house again to settle stuff) was spent with him.

We'd go for walks around the house:

catch cicaks or play hide & seek:

or just cuddle up. Even Hubby was sometimes jealous of how much attention Boboy got while I was at home. Every night, I made sure that Boboy gets a place next to me on my pillow and we'll cuddle to sleep:


When I was packing on my last night in KL, I cried buckets knowing how much I'll miss my Boboy. It will be a very long while until the next time I'll see him - in fact, I don't even know whether I will get to see him again... I was really sad. Boboy couldn't understand why I was crying and why I was packing up so much stuff. He even made it difficult as he refused to get out of my luggage that night. Hubby had to force him out of the room sampai Boboy merajuk malam tu sebab kena marah.


The day I left, Hubby told me that Boboy was as if looking for me. He'd go around the house, searching every room hoping that I was hiding behind the door. And yang paling sedih sekali is that until now, every night Boboy will climb up our bed and lie on my pillow, as if waiting for me to come home and cuddle him. He'll wait on my pillow till he falls asleep... Hubby said he really misses me.


I miss you too sayang. I'm sorry we have to do this, but I promise that we're doing our best to work something out so we can be together again, OK. Hang in there - Mama still loves you no matter what.

I will get through this....

I asked for strength,
He (Allah) gave me difficulties to make me strong,
I asked for wisdom,
He gave me problems to solve,
I asked for prosperity,
He gave me brain and brawn to work,
I asked for courage,
He gave me danger to overcome,
I asked for love,
He gave me troubled people to help,
I asked for favours,
He gave me opportunities,
Hence.. I received nothing I wanted,
But, I received everything I needed.

A toast to the bride & groom

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I would like to start off by saying congratulations to Vasantha and Shasi and how proud I am to be part of this special day. It meant so much to me to watch my best friend marry the man of her dreams. My journey half the globe to be here tonight is all worth it- just to see them hand in hand with sparkles in their eyes and glows on their cheeks to show how much they are in love and happy together tonight... (sigh).. OK, enough of the jiwang-jiwang bits.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

As the maid of honour, I was told to say a few words about the bride. Obviously, this proves to be a daunting task- as one can never ever able to describe Vasantha in only a few words. I have known Vasantha since we were in BBGS for nearly 20 years ago. At school, Vasantha excel in her studies, especially Maths and Add Maths, and was active in sports. She is definitely one that would not go unnoticed because we could always identify Vasantha's loud laugh and beautiful smile wherever she goes. No wonder she made the perfect cheerleading captain at our school.

As far as I could remember, we have had lots of good times. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were spending whole weekends at each other's places - staying up all night gossiping or doing mini facials or watching romantic films, wishing Brad Pitt would galantly walk through the door.

Over the years, careers changed, apartments changed, boyfriends changed - some friends married and started families and others stayed single and continued the search. With all of the variables, one thing was always constant - the deep friendship Vasantha and I shared with one another and with our dear group of girlfriends.

Vasantha was my confidante, my support, my maid of honour. No major event has happened in my life in the past that Vasantha has not been by my side. She has always been one that I can lean on and one that I can rely on. Vasantha's kindness and sincerity, her grace and most of all her patience have made her the person she is, whom I greatly admire and respect.

To Shasi,

Not only are you a lucky man, you are definitely a brave one too... hehe. I am happy for you both - your personalities completely complement each other and the love you have for one another is evident. So Shasi, I ask you from the bottom of my heart - will you please take care of my best friend, Vasantha, and treasure each moment you have together. Share each other's hopes and fill each other's dreams.

On a final note, congratulations Vasantha and Shasi on a wonderful future ahead together.
