GET READY FOR OUR BIG DAY.

Fuhhh!!! It took me like about 30 minutes to finally do up a KPI Schedule like this. I am sure there will be many other things to add on as times goes by. It's okay, better than nothing right. At least I know which direction to head on each monthly basis. At least, it gives me a headstart on which items to concentrate on rather than try to be a Wonder woman and plan it all inside my head without needing to jot it down.

Sometimes, that is the problem with me. I am too optimistic. I always keep thinking everyhing is possible and no wonder I do feel the strain. But InsyaAllah, Allah SWT will guide me throughout this journey with my HTB. I BELIEVE in ONLY HIM.

And therefore, I shall begin this Wonderful Journey with Bismillah........

       

Bridezilla Maybe......

Countdown-ing to our BIG HUGE DAY. Lagi 1 year....don't count the 3 months laaa...pejam celik...celik pejam nanti da December pulak and to mention that I will be sibe-on with many activities in schools and such. sighhhh...Cobaaaaan.....

There are like a super long list of vendors waiting to be confirmed. So far...we have managed only to secure our MUA and Decor tu pon da kira naseb baek beb. The rest......let me try to say this in one loooooooong superrr loooong breath.......

       caterer.photographer.videographer.venues.marriagecourse.bridesmaid.groomsmen.ringbearer,flowergirls. Just like carousel buffet price...there are certainly ++++++++ lagiiii banyak.....Hantaran...Dulang Hantaran.Maskahwin.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....Bride on stress mode. Heeeeelpppp!!!

Lagi 1 year jer dokk....Hopefully I could confirm my photographer + Videographer by the end of this week. I dont care what all the Makcik quarters tell me saying that I got 2 more years left. 2 more years??? Ni de Tou ah!!! Ni da tak payah pon pergi slimming centre. 

Not to mention now I am more organized...thanks to bestie Ms.Snooki (tu actually nama pebret pillow dier) who constantly remind me to be more organized on dates and other moolah matters especially. I know in 2 years down the road when i read back all of this.....She is one of my pillar of strength that I should appreciate. Heee!!!

Other than that.....Ms.Snooki been helping with the logistics and basically the practicality of the sibe siao ting tong dream wedding that I want. For me.....I can only conceptualize laaaa. For her, she help to count the moolah and cents. Being a maths teachers plus minus divide multiplication is an everyday thing. For me.......I only know how to point and say I want that!! Hahh!!! Typical spoiltbrat me......

Not only that...Mr Scoot (Hubby of my pebret Ms, Snooki) pon rewang jugak.....rewang recce tempat...rewang kirakan duit and help me to plan and organized my KIP(S)....Aiseybedah!!! Kirekan mcm ada P.A la gituuu....But honestly, without their guidance...this A$$ of mine wont move beb. Not to mention HTB punyer bontot lagi glue kalau tak kena sound.

Other than that, of cos my parents has been supportive of the things I wanted for my wedding especially the Solemnization ceremony which will be posted in another post. Knowing that our Nikah Day will be in my Birthday month...I've asked for something special.......

For the HTB, he is on stressed mode too.Always worrying bout the finances. I feel pity for my Darling. In the midst of all this stress, sometimes we do get on each other's nerves. I dunno why because sometimes the issue could just be teeenee weeenee but it could escalade into a big fire. Nonethess, he will always comfort me and always give me the best advices once he cooled down. 

And furthermore...being the perfectionist that I am and with a topping of a "panas baran" attitude...I feel that I started to grow and mature in matters of the heart. I wanted to be more patient and the more forgiving one in the future compared to HTB who I really admit have utmost patience with me. But of cos, most of the times I want things MY WAY cos its the only right way I know how..tu yang Hot Button dia slalu kena trigger and then I kena scolded....pouts. Kesian kan. What to do. At the very least now, I try not to shout and act like a spoilbrat like last time. I just keep quiet and try to talk thing rationally.

sighhhh...kalau dulu saper tak kenal...Lu goyang gua gendang beb!!! 

But all that I guess needs to come to an end. People need to change. I need to change. And its for the better. Knowing that he will be the Khalifah of the Family. He should be respected by the Wife at all time. May Allah guide me to be a patient and loving Wife to be just like how my HTB has shown all this years.
