wedding story part III

*** entri ini yang hilang time blog maintenance. so i just post it back la..nasib la ada...penat2 suda sa mengarang ^_^ **

it's about 9am. we have to be at the church at 9.45am. my cuzzie umbul was my driver. glad he was with me during the journey to the church. and not forgetting his son kamilus & ying ying the niece (cuzzie's daughter). all i can think of all the way to the church is not to be late..hehe..lucky i bring the wedding ring with me..the basket flower for the flower girls arrived later at the church. so the flower girls+boys just holding their hand when the procession begin :) so sweet ni.....hehe...

i'm a bit not happy during the mass. yeah, whoever attended the holy matrimony surely remember what the homily  is about that morning! i can feel my face very2 hot.... i never been to a church wedding that a priest been talking about the bride's attire. have you? the homily still linger in my mind right now. i do feel embarrassed but what the heck it is my wedding. i didn't want it to ruin my big day....it's all because Kate wedding gown......will remember it for the rest of my life.....grrrrr........after the taking photo session which is very tiring we proceed to go back home. u see, it's not easy to be the center of the attention for the day. abis senyuman sa oo...hehe...

oo ooh...it's gonna be rain soon. the grey heavy cloud seen from a far is not a very good sign..i just pray & hope that eventho it's gonna be raining cats & dogs, will not stop us from enjoying every bit of the wedding day....it's the happiest day for both of us ^_^ give us a break dear mr.rain..but sadly, mr.rain had came & visit us..kesian all of our friends & relatives get soaked coz of the rain..well, there were saying that if u were married during raining u will be blessed with many children..hehehe...butul kaitu??

the caterer for non-malay food arrive later in the afternoon..have u heard about the gun shoot at inanam. that were the main cause the caterer were late sending the food. massive traffic jammed at inanam town. at about 1.45 baru the caterer sampai. syukur la..when everything's ready we begin the makan session. kesian org yang tunggu dari jam 12 lebih lagi..hujan lagi..whoa...what an experience! so after makan...the cake cutting ceremony + the toasting... tiiuusssssssssss..........soooooooooo....!!!!!!! hehehe....

and the rest of the day, it's the time to say hi & bye! i am really happy that my friends & relatives came to my wedding reception. THANK YOU ALL! the last guest of the day would be the Cherry cafe deco team. i should mention their name here, paling manang kan....hehehe.. ah tut, samson, jimin & herman.. u guys rock!!!  tukang kasi abis chivas sa..haha..they leave AT about 1am. suprisingly i can tahan that long...can u imagine me wake up at 5am & go to bed at 1.30am the very next day?? somemore, not even very the mabuk during the big day...but of course my man were drunk la :) but he still ingat dunia mah..together-gether we officially close our big day! love u very much hubby!!

up next will be the pictures during my wedding reception..stay tune ya!

rest in peace grandma nina :(

dear grandma nina,

taken during CNY holidays in Feb'08

u'll be missed!
u have been kind to all of us.
we will never forget u, nina. u were the only grandma we knew all of our life and now u had left us, we will cherished all the memories we had spent together especially during our stay at our beloved kampung.

i was so thrilled & excited whenever i had the chance to balik kampung. i love my kampung ~ kg. pahu , kiulu. the road (last time we had to merentas hutan belantara coz no jalan sampai rumah nina sa ~ what an experience!), the jungle, the river, grandma house, the pigs, the chicken, the padi bukit, the kampung vegie, the tandas kampung (the jungle is the tandas ~ ewwwh, but i've been there done that! haha)..but the most remembered things about balik kampung is there is no electricity! yes people, u read me: no electricity at all (during the 80's)! and the famous magazine i read at kampung is GILA-GILA! oo i'm so missing my kampung right now. wish i can turn back the time to when we were a lot younger and no brain care free :) *ok, habis iklan*

now back to my nina story!

ooo..i really love this picture ~ Feb'08

daya ingatan nina sa sangat baik. she can recognise us very well. even though she's old, she knew her grandchild's name. i missed her voice which is soft & husky..she rarely spoke malay to us siblings. the only penghubung komunikasi is my mum. what to do, bahasa dusun kami sangat fail to the max. paling siok mo cakap 'kanou mongoi mimponsu hilod bawang' astaga, butul ka nda sa tulis ni....hehe..itu ja kerja kami time di kampung ~ mandi sungai!

i am glad coz the last time i met her i've hugged her. she stayed about 4 days at our home & had the chance to celebrate my sister wedding in dec 2010. itupun she not sabar to go back kampung :) it's normal for old folks to feel that way ba kan.. the truth is, i hate to say goodbye to my grandma. we like to take care my grandma since her ankle infected but knowing my grandma, she rather stay at kampung than here..it's not good to paksa beliau2 ba kan...

grandma nina was called to eternal life on 25th april due to old age & ill health. she will be remembered as a loving, caring & cheerful grandma to all of us in the family. let us keep her in our prayers. we love u nina!

grandma nina 1933-2011


sadly missed & forever remembered! 
the siblings ; ann, joy, jj & tata

May God Bless Her Soul

happy + sad ~ april 2011

hi all..! (wink wink from the newly bride)

* it's been a tiring weekends for me :) with my wedding preparation & the actual day itself..woohoo.. *

i begin my story with the holy week of Easter (from 21st to 24th april 2011). we celebrated the Holy Thursday & Good Friday masses at St. Simon Church, Likas. lots of people during this celebration. thank God for the Good Friday weather. it's a bit gloomy & not very hot day. as always no seat available since we came on time for the mass :) but it's a good exercise juga ba..berdiri! hehe..luckily during Easter Vigil mass there's a seat available for me & my darling :) the mass last for 3 hours..we had celebration of Easter mass at CMI Church at Bkt Pdg. this time also have to stand up for the whole mass. i don't mind :) just for reminder: please don't leave ur bag or valuable items in ur car. there are two car been broken during the easter mass at cmi. luckily there's a good samaritan saw the culprits! and the warden did not saw this ba..how can that be happened?? i don't think they sempat curi whatever items they saw in the car & i did not see the culprits run as fast as they could. they just walked steadily ba as if nothing ever happened..talked about crime in the daylight! huh! 

~happy easter 2011~

now, this really gonna make me cry! *again*

my maternal grandmother had been called by the Lord on the 25th april 2011. 5 days before my marriage. she passed away peacefully in her sleep. she's in her 80's, i don't really know her age is. she's been buried at kg. pahu, kiulu. my mom & dad, my aunty & her cucu together with my uncle which supposed to have review at QEH on the 25th, went back village to pay their last respect for their mother. by right, the marriage should be called-off. but since all the preparation had been done & finalized, the event must be going on..i am so sad about her demised. i've benen told by mum that she can't walk already since there is an infection on her ankle. the last time i met her was during my sister wedding in Dec 2010. menyesal not taking picture with her banyak2 time tu...during that time pun her ankle memang sudah sakit ~ got nanah :( *ooo..i'm all teary everytime i'm thinking of her*.  

my leave actually is from 27th of april but i took the emergency leave from 25th to 26th. sempat lagi pigi ofis on monday to settle few work matters. in the afternoon, i went back home. singgah sekejap di wisma merdeka to buy things & we had our lunch there.

sad things happened.  the next post is dedicated especially to my grandmother. may god bless her soul. amen.
