luscious lace

"All bridal fabrics are beautiful, but none combine history, craftsmanship, and romance as well as lace. The intricate web of patterns is both coquettishly revealing and demurely concealing for a fitting combination in a wedding dress."

lace. the quintessential baju nikah fabric. however, i am sane enough to not want to splurge on an $250 per metre fabric and to only wear it for 2hours.

the most special day of my life, yes. but do i want to spend the rest of my marriage bayar hutang? no.

(labih jua eh kain lace sampai behutang~ huhu.)

but u girls know what i mean.

gah. wedding planning is not all fun. or maybe i havent reached the 'fun' part yet. will tell you when i get there.

much love,
Rabi'a xoxo

something to ponder.

apologies versus explanations.

sacrifices. change. adaptations.

all one big huge sigh.

can i get married tomorrow?

lulubils

she's here and gorgeous and i've taken her out and she is ab.so.lute.ly beeeyuuuutifool!

oh, and she underwent a name change too. hehe.

anyway, wave if u see her!

much love,
rabia xoxo

oh Lola!

i have waited and wait and waited and waited.

i was told that she'll come in least tan 3 montsh, MAX 3 months.

its been 4 mths now.

but she will finally finally be here next weeeeeek!

im thinking of changing her name to babylee tho. and call her billie for short. or bilis. hahaha.

lola? billie? bilis?

esuk adi ku birthday party. and i gots netball with officepeeps.

i tink i like netball. as long as they pass me the ball and i catch it and pass it to the right team member, i like it.

speaking of which, i shud be back at the gym by now. crap. i havent been for a week now. will be back by monday.. gotta lose weight forrr the wedding!

he observes..

something that i myself have never noticed.

bf declared that i am kusut whenever things don't go my way.

how true. and very worrying. gotta take more chill pills then. no doubt about it then, i'll definitely be your typical bridezilla.

for now, imma take a chill pill.

much love,
rabi'a xoxo

calling in the big guns

i am officially unfit. going up the stairs make me slightly breatheless when 1 year ago, i'd be running up the stairs and it'll be no problem.

not to mention i used to be THINNER. and i have bingo arms now. eww eww eww!

therefore, i am declaring myself officially on a diet.

no torturing myself obviously, but just the rules i've always followed up till i started work.

• no white bread
• no fast food (mcDs, KFC, express, you name it)
• no milkshakes! just water or green tea whenever i eat out
• and no late meals, latest by 8pm

other than that, dessert is okay!

3kgs to lose in 1 month. at least cits is away so i wont be gorging on her cupcakes anytime soon.

anyone who sees me with a milkshake/white bread/fast food and/or eating late at night is very much welcomed to slap the food away and say i'm fat.

thank you very much for your cooperation.

much love,
rabi'a

i forgot

that i had a blog. last post was almost a month ago!

between work, gym and the boyfriend finally back in brunei, updating a blog seems silly.

but herea a few stuff to chew on:

1) im going to singapore again this sunday. for work, of course.
2) i have become dependent on my contact lenses. everything is blurry without them.
3)i will be making a major (and hopefully sound) investment soon.


thats all.

much love,
rabi'a xoxo
