A Smile Like Yours

She cried.

I cried.

I hate going to the airport when sending her off. 

I hate going to the airport when she sends me off.

All the time.

One thing's for sure though, nothing has changed. She still wakes me up the Melbourne time and I still keep her awake late at night the Malaysian time. And in between, Shura and I are constantly updating each other every hour during working hours (if time permits) or I skype to tell Shura and Zamir bout my day and likewise when I get home. 

Today, I loved it that she can tell I was down just by one sentence through BBM. Magical! :)

I miss my best friend

S & Z : Behind the scenes

Wait up for the next post to see the pictures from one of the most beautiful receptions I have ever been to!

S & Z

11.11.11

I've never been any happier to witness my best friend marrying the man of her choice, let alone be a part of my favourite couple's wedding. So very happy for both Shura and Zamir, words will never ever be enough to truly express it!

Preparations for ShuMir's solemnization were so intense indeed! Shura fell sick. I fell sick. Uncle and Aunty were stressed. Likewise for Zam and his family. Shura and I did not even have the time to be all sad or to reminisce those good times we've had together. It was just preparations and more preparations day after day, the minute she touched down back in Malaysia. As per normal, Shura's home became my first home.

It is still very clear in my mind the day ShuMir (Shura and Zamir) told me about their plans to step into the next phase of life when I went over to visit them in Melbourne.

Today, they are happily married to each other :)

I've never met any other more perfect couple who complimented each other in every way like ShuMir. The first time Shura told me about Zamir was back in 2007 and I thought "He sounds nice and friendly!" (what do you expect? We only had skype). Until I got the chance to meet him face to face the next year, I thought "Zam's perfect! I want one!". Yes, I said exactly that to Shu when I first met Zam. I even kept all our messages to each other when ShuMir were still new in the relationship. Omg, so budak budak ok all of us!

I'm not gonna elaborate like as if I'm the one giving a speech at their wedding, but one thing's for sure, I used to have Zamir as one of the people I looked up to. He's intelligent, patient, funny, good looking, down to earth, sporty and in every way one of the most humble person I've ever met. And then I met his family, both parents and siblings (and siblings other half). This man and his family are definitely a keeper for life! Can I please want to be a girl version of Zam? :) Shura and her perfect family weren't any less. Zamir chose the perfect princess he can ever possibly pick. One thing I was so sure about which I kept telling Shu was, his patience level. Given Shu's stress-level at times, there's no stress level that Zamir cannot handle ok! ;)

To Shura and Zamir, may this be the beginning of all the happiness in your life, and semoga bahagia hingga ke anak cucu, InsyaAllah. I've never cried this much at a wedding, but trust me, they are tears of joy and not otherwise. You've been the greatest best friend, and that shall not change ever. Especially since Zamir always lets me win and have you when I need you! And also because, eversince you got together with Zamir, he has also been one I told everything to. Love you ShuMir! :)

Few weeks ago

That awkward moment

When daddy wakes me up early and the topic during breakfast was kursus kahwin. He was gonna send both abang and I for it. Well, for abang, it's because he is gonna get married soon InsyaAllah. I agreed to doing this not because I'm getting married in the next few months like abang, but simply to expand my knowledge and possibly learn about the future that has yet to come. Looking at the many many more months of living a hectic lifestyle such as mine, I did not believe in personally extending the invitation simply because agreeing to do this does not necessarily mean that you have to do it with whoever you plan to/will/are gonna spend the future with. Plus, the thought of just-about-anything that could potentially happen between now and the time-when-you’re-ready scares me all the time, just because I’ve been made to observe through it before. Watching what they had to go through was enough of an educational struggle for me.

Well, a weekend of kursus kahwin for abang, Suhana, Shura, Zamir and I turned out to be a really good one indeed! :) A lot of new knowledge and a lot of happy moments! Too much laughters. To be honest, it was a really good 'kursus' for in between teaching you on how to be a good husband and a good wife respectively, it also creates awareness for you to be a better individual as a whole. And afterall, that certificate I got hold of is valid for a lifetime baybeh!

Well, Shura and Zamir have used theirs once already as of last Friday! Such a beautiful event that I keep on smiling looking at the photos :) Well, I cried when it all happened. FAIL! But we definitely laughed it off during sleepover that night! :):) Yes, Zamir went home on the first night, and I got to spend the night with lil miss best friend! Will blog about it sooooon!

11.11.11

Because today is the day that 

she

and he

are gonna be husband and wife!

It has been a very hectic week and it'll go on for another one week till the reception. She's falling sick, I'm falling sick.

For the love of a best friend. I am so NOT gonna cry. Period. 

Fabulosity!

"Smile, be uplifted and be happy"

Because yesterday, my colleagues, boss and I were very fortunate and privileged to be invited to the Official Kimora Lee Simmons corporate event and listen to her inspire many around me. It was a beautiful energy :)

My goodness, she's gorgeous, friendly and obviously super tall! D-uhhh! Super cool too! 

...before she high 5-ed me, gave me a big bear hug and a kiss on the cheeks. This girl who isn't a super big fan to begin with. Bonus! Ok, tak payah mandi berape lama ni? haha! Seriously, no. I'm not her biggest fan. If you look at the people around me. That's crazy big fans! I'm nothing compared to them, if you are a real fan, you'd be disappointed with me. My friend spent the whole of yesterday baking Kimora cupcakes! and for her to be able to give Kimora personally, now that will definitely go into the magazines and afterwards her wedding montage in the future.

I went with no make up. Dressed up in a full banker's suit and yeah, a nerdy glasses. Tak glamour langsung! I did manage to slip on high heels, just so that I can be not-too-short for her to say hello whilst looking straight into my eyes. LOL! :):) And to think that prior to that, I was really not in the mood to go coz I had a mountain load of work stuck in the office! 

I'm glad I did go though. She's an inspiration :) Well to be honest, it was lil mr boyfriend who made me go go go. His words the whole afternoon were only "MUST GO. MUST GO. MUST GO!" In fact, he reminded me to do my research so that I know what to say to Kimora when situations like what-I-got happens. Of course I was more starstruck than anything else.

I know! He's more of a fan than me obviously! I should consider myself lucky now, since he not only educates me about economics, markets and financials....but fashion and celebrities too! Well to be fair, I educate him about football and I play football, he doesn't. Instead he tests me on high heels. Actually, I don't educate him, I always only just babble it out, hoping that he'll absorb. haha!

Time for me to educate myself on FABULOSITY BAYBEH! So kind of her to distribute pages and pages of inspiration as a gift :)) LOVE IT! Thank you Kimora!

Conveniently true

"Because sometimes, some things are meant for you to just experience it and learn along the way. Not meant for you to have for a life time. In fact, it's a stepping stone for you to know that you can have better babes"
