ONE YEAR

I've often heard people say the first year is the hardest. The getting-to-really-know each other, the annoying habits, the new things you discover. I've also heard that you gotta live with the person to really know the person-which may not be a very nice discovery.

My experience had defied all this. The first year has been smooth sailing. Barely there fights, about two arguments and fun, fun, fun! Practically no hitches at all. I love the fact that he never says don't and support me in practically whatever I do.

Stuff that happened during our first year;
1. Trip to Haadyai, Thailand.
2. Island hopping trip to Sabah.
3. Trip to Jakarta/Bandung.
4. One wedding and a funeral - same guy. (Only one wedding? Hmm. We don't like em much)
5. D channeled all his creativity into organizing Putrajaya Critical Mass. Now an event attended by the hundreds.
5. Two rock concerts. Free, of course.
6. New job. For him and her.
7. One already paid for canceled Bangkok trip.
8. A new car.

Things that haven't changed;
1. Someone is still a shoe junkie.
2. I don't run off and hang-out with married friends instead of single ones.
3. I don't think married people are superior and diss my single gals.
4. Still hanging out on regular basis with Lucillus the Devil.
5. I still love my chick flicks and he still watches war/serial killer/political movies.

Things that have changed;
1. Waistline.
2. Waistline.
3. Waistline.

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

I love you, i love you, i love you! :)

i really, like, have to, like,really stop.

Like, seriously.

transition

I'm not busy.

Lying around and staring at the ceiling feels so good rather than sitting up and tapping away on the keyboard.

And you know how transitions take time. Yeah, it's taking a bit of my time.

Transitions here.

And there.

I love the drama in the papers. Makes picking up the paper a lot more interesting. You never know who is back dooring who.

s: did you read it? he's into anal!
y: tsk tsk tsk. notty notty. he likes the back door!
s: yeah, i know. like, wow.
y: but then again, if i had a wife like r****h, I'd back door anything.

Sweet.

Tq very much...

Actually from my understanding, 'oblighed' means 'kindly'

but if 'obliged' and 'oblighed' have the same meaning,

i hope you can accept my apologize

Syazwani,

Practical student.

Is that a new word that I, perhaps am not aware of?

Busy. Do not disturb.

I've been occupied.

So many things, so little time.

So many things, so little money.

Went to JB last weekend. D's boob-ilicious cousin got hitched to some army dude.
Lalu bawah pedang, you know. Penat tunggu. Pedang dudes got lost.
Cemana ntah jadi army navigational skills ZERO!

Some fucker hit and run my car. D says its typical JB behavior. Papa said the same thing.
"JB is full of lanun, bugis and Jawa shitheads!" - One of them said.

D helped out by washing cups...


..while I supervised..

On a happier note, we went fish spa-ing @ Bintang Walk. Am very ticklish.

Turtle eggs from Sabah. Suppose to be slurped.
I remembered Lucillus's story about slurping eggs
and out popped a baby bird. Am skeptic.

D got a haircut at a salon that has internet access instead
of the usual magazine reading.

And my main excuse for being busy..

We've moved out of the current office! We're in the swanky new building in Cyberjaya. See the blue and silver new building? Thats us! Moving out is so tiring. I never knew I was full of junk.

Shredding is kinda fun..

..until you're up to your knees..

...and you begin to wonder..
what happened to the concept of paperless office??

I have no idea..

..we're still in a mess..

now i'm reduced to a mere cubicle. I miss my room.
