Malaysia Airlines First

As I'm writing this, I'm finishing up work before the weekend comes. And to be exact, doing work related to Malaysia Airlines. So much has taken place in the past 6 months for this beloved national carrier of ours and it shatters my heart everytime I come across any sort of news/statement about the incidents that have taken place.  

In the past, there was no other airline that I looked for for the years that lived abroad - it has always been Malaysia Airlines first. And because of that, I can safely say that I am very proud of them. It's clear that MAS is not in the best state at the moment, but it saddens me that instead of finding solutions to help them people come out to attack it. People come out to say that it used to be better before when it was run by someone else. People come up with theories on why it is MAS. People stopped flying MAS because to them all these mishaps only happen to MAS. People come out to BLAME, and these are people who MAS have probably flown them all around the world before. 

Blaming do not solve anything. Measured thoughts and actions do.  I woke up a couple of days ago and thought "why is it that there are people who continue to take money from something that's bleeding financially? Why is it hard to find genuine people with big hearts these days?" I do not have an answer for that. In the business world, it's that harsh sometimes. It is clear that running like how it is today is not an option for the future and MAS was probably just at the wrong place at the wrong time. But MAS is ours to be proud of and stand with through good and bad times. 

Today was the day some of the remains from MH17 were flown back - 20 to be exact. My heart shattered multiple times and I cried buckets just thinking about the affected family members and friends of those onboard MH17 and MH370, all the innocent lives taken away out there in fact. The minute of silence was observed at 10:54am and the office was gloomy with many dressed in all-black. 

May Allah SWT continue to protect the family and friends of all onboard the MH17 and MH370 flights as well as those who worked night and day finding a closure for this. MasyaAllah only Allah can repay your kindness! To Nizam, I broke down seeing this photo of you today on TV along with Kimi's lil son and wife. Thank you for piloting MAS and flying us across the world. You're one with a really really big heart and Allahyarham Kimi is truly blessed to have a best friend like you. Very very proud of you Captain Nizam! 

I flew out with Malaysia Airlines last weekend, and I am taking the first flight out again tomorrow morning, with Malaysia Airlines. I'll choose you over any other airline MAS. Anytime. 

aliaaiman - Our Photographer + Videographer

Past 3 weeks, Aiman and I have been going around videographer-and-photographer shopping for our wedding. Oh god, how do you even decide on one? There are so so so many out there, and each and everyone one of them produces such good photos and videos at the end of it.

Since I don't quite fancy doing wedding errands, I was told that this will be your one opportunity to stress out about it and be a bridezilla. So fine, let's just get through this stress as quickly as possible. So what we did was to ask a few of our married friends about their videophotog and at the same time browsed through Instagram to explore for a few more others.

Had a round of sms-ing and whatsapping with them, asking for initial quotation and finally decided to meet 3 out of the few we had. We met all three in one weekend, and by the end of it I had a major dilemma.

I turned to Aiman and said "Oh my god, they're all so nice! It's nice to see Malays doing well in something they're so passionate about. I don't know how to say 'no' once we've decided. Your job to be the bad cop....but they're so nice!" whilst giving Aiman the puppy-eyes-please-don't-say-no-to-anyone.

So today, we've finally decided on which ones to choose as our photographer and videographer.

We're taking... ALL THREE for our three events. Bahahaha!

We did not have to say NO to anyone and life is swell yo! *do the chicken dance*

aliaaiman - It's ok

I have this habit of when I see a beautiful or good looking person I'll go "Sayang!!! She's so cantik!" or "So good looking la he" whilst at the same time tugging on Aiman to look at that person I'm talking about and forcing him to agree.

He used to find it weird that I go "don't you think she's pretty?". He thinks it's a trick question.

"erm...yeah? Maybe. But you're still prettier".

Trying to be safe there. But really, there's nothing wrong with pointing out if a person is pretty or good looking is there?

Once we went jogging and my focus got attracted to this very beautiful girl at the park. It's like her face was just perfect, so MasyaAllah cantik! Before I know it, Aiman tapped on my shoulder and said "Excuse me, it's rude to stare". I'm starting to think he gets jealous over pretty girls. Haha!

aliaaiman - Dress

I'm that few months away where when people sees me, their first question would be

"Have you done your dress yet?!"

Nope.

"Do you know what you want your dress to look like?"

Nope.

"Have you even made any appointments?"

Nah. Got time, no?

Useless

The other day whilst fiddling with things in Papa's car, I came across his name card.

WHOA!

This man has a lot of qualification!! His card alone is enough to make me feel quite useless. Haha!

And then it hit me, I finished my Bachelors in Science and Mama and Papa were so proud about it. And then came my masters and they were beaming from one ear to another. Sometimes I feel it's unfair that your parents have gone through all those way before you and you had no chance to proudly attend their graduation beaming from one ear to another. Sigh, this man of mine is one of the most humble person on earth and I'm just so proud to call him my dad.

I took a look again at his card and geez...I feel useless with just a Bachelors and Masters. Maybe I should do that PhD.

Well, in my defence he's a Doctor. He has to be qualified in order to be able to treat patients right? Working in a Bank allows me to not have to memorise names of drugs. Bahaha!
