3 weeks

to my first function ie badak-badak mandi.

and 26 more days till i am 'kaya and butter'.

Alhamdulillah the minor setback mentioned in the last post has been resolved. on the next day too! the vendor acknowledged that the mistake was on their part since they promised shipment would arrive in mid-march.. so they've agreed to let me have other almost-similar looking things at the same price agreed, even though the almost-similar looking ones were originally priced a bit more. and its all in stock so thank you Allah kerana mempermudahkan dan memberi jalan keluar =D

the weekend was pretty eventful but today (Sunday) is quite relaxing.. compared to Friday. Friday was hectic hectic all the way. thursday nite (malam jumaat), i left the office at 11.30pm and only reach the house in tutong by midnite so imagine how sleep deprived i was since i had to be up by 7.45 on friday just so i can make my 9.30am facial appointment in bandar on time. atupun i arrived late by 15mins because my parents wanted to talk to me before i left, seeing as the nite before they were already asleep by the time i came home.

needless to say i was in a deep slumber during the whole 3 hrs i was in the treatment room. finished at abt half past 12 and stopped at Lauren to pay off my baju pasal when i picked it up the day before, balum bayar bah tu hehe.

that friday evening there was a little gathering for my parents' siblings at the hse untuk 'berunding' and i had to give out the materials for my flower girls' baju too. so after Lauren i went off to Hokko in kiarong to get flower trimmings for the girls. i ended up staying longer than planned because i spotted the most gorgeous cotton voile and it was new and im a sucker for new kain and having got my paycheck a few days ago, on a whim i went and bought 3 different cotton pieces and proceeded to have it made into dresses at the tailoring in Hokko. the most part was spent negotiating on designs for the dresses and i only left hokko abt 2 hrs later.

yes, my whole lunch hr was spent in Hokko. hee but then i came over to mamacits, whose house is always stuffed to the brim with food and snacks so i satisfied my hunger pangs there. after mamacits i went to roz flower boutique to talk decor of the house in tutong.. which brings me to today's errands because i met up with the decorator at the house in tutong to discuss design and also for him to measure the walls and ceiling and watnot.

back to Friday.. after roz flower boutique i headed home just in time to shower and get dressed for the evening's 'perundingan'.

Lastnight my parents and i made a stop to my bersanding venue to discuss logistics. like when can the pelamin be set up, when can we send the campurs, what time do we come, what food do we want for the food tasting.. and so on. i expected us to just check out the place but the discussion with the event manager went on for 3 hrs and we didnt even get to checking the place out because there was a function going on.

i only have 3 weekends to do all the errands that i need to do!! gaaaaah. Alhamdulillah so far.. i just need more hours in a day for my sleep! today was a bit more laidback for me because i got to sleep in till 9.3oam (huraaay~ slalu nya mesti 8 or 7 bah) and then went to syiks' wedding and then rushed off to the airport to send off my mum to manila for a business trip. then i went to tutong to meet the decorator, sent off a few invitation cards and to first metro to buy kain cara melayu for the boys in my family.

this evening i plan to do retail therapy. mani pedi and a hair trim. whee~ simple pleasures of life =D

wedding errands left to do are... to get my bajus drycleaned and also to get my tudong jahit-ed. oh and of course keep on bugging the pelamin ppl, the florists etc to not forget my things! hehe im stickler for stuff like that.

3 more weeeeeeeeeksssss

much love
Rabi'a xoxo
