Wedding Videos Mania

Mania la sangat.

this manic, i don't know how it suddenly blossomed into our lives, but now girls everywhere are swooning over the 'fairytale' wedding.

remember what's-her-name? anak Naza tu.. (in case you haven't, watch it here)

remember how the video circulated in Facebook and the girls were like "omgadahh cantiknya wedding ni", "baby, i nak wedding camni", "sooooo romantic wannn ahhh, i waaaaant!", etc etc?

oh and there were others that went "apa nak jadi dengan orang melayu, nak follow follow budaya mat salleh", "gila apa ke pompuan ni", "8million?!?! lebih baik derma duit tu kat Palestine", etc etc.

whichever your reaction was, i tak kisah, but no doubt you all watched the wedding video.

and more and more videos of that 'perfect-fairytale-romantic' wedding are circulating. and honestly, i nak muntah.

here's nadia's,and nana's.

ok fine, they ARE freaking beautiful and DUHH it looks perfect. but i can't help but smirk at these videos.

it's like a showcase of wealth!

i've been to soooo many weddings, and have been bridesmaid to most, so i know i am credible to talk about this, thank you very much!

weddings don't have to be so elaborate, so expensive, so extravaganza, so glamorous and so over-the-top, because wedding is just an event for friends and family to celebrate the union of a man and a lady. it's just the time to "show off", kan? ala, i'm a girl. i know.

so what if you can't afford to have men in skirts to carry you on tilam to bersiram? so what if you can't have a hall made of roses? so what if your wedding is simple and small? so what if you don't wear designer dresses?

it isn't about how it would look on you and your family if it's small. it's you, isn't it?

it's how you would feel about your wedding.

if you're worried people would say "kesiannya, wedding kecil je", or "tak cukup budget kot", or "kedekut siol", etc etc.. i say THE HECK WITH THEM!!

it's our wedding and if we love our family, love our future partner and their family, love our friends, then all that talk is not going to affect you.

go and celebrate being an official Mr or Mrs! not celebrate being rich or showing it off.

memang la nak show off, but i'd rather show off the L.O.V.E than showing off the moolah loaned from the bank.

betul tak?

think realistically. wedding is meant to be once in a lifetime. make it matter! don't make it LOOK like it matter. the videos were made beautifully (kudos to videographers!), but in reality, its different. very very different.

so if you want a perfect, fairytale wedding, you can, but don't put these people as a benchmark. it's not a competition! it's not a trend!

make it your fairytale, not by wealth, but by (as corny as this sounds) love. 

and make your future wedding a fairytale in reality, not just in videos and photos.

=)

Snoozefest. nak kena lempang?

one thing you didn't know about me, unless you're my friend and have spent years with me, is that i am such a SNOOZER!

yes, a snoozer.

noun; a person like Maria Elena omg nama spanish gila who is able to sleep in any condition. be it in a moving train, static elevator, next to a dustbin or someone with a bad B.O, while eating, while watching tv, while talking, while texting, when marching, when passing motion, etc etc. - taken from Dictionary Oops I Did It Again Is Not A Catchy Song.

previously, i've written about sleeping in the LRT on the way to work.

now allow me to continue on my story with recent events! boleh? boleh? tak boleh?
so what.

i've started working, fyi, and God knows how much i love this place. but i can't help it when these setans sit on my eyelids and telling me to snooze while working! it's not professional! it's not ethical!!

boleh tak, masa tengah meeting, NI MASA 1ST DAY OK!! my boss ajak join the meeting just so that i can understand how meeting goes and such. so since i was a noobie, i was trying to grasp familiar words. like pressure gauges. filters. membranes. torchlight. donut. asfirdaus asri. ok lari topic.
but yeah, i caught on a few. and then suddenly i terlelap. ya Allah. i tersungguk kot!!
huh.. nasib takde orang notice.

then another time, TENGAH BUSY NI WEYHHH! sibuk replying emails, asking people to get back to me asap, and then i TERSUNGGUK! bila i terjaga tu, i looked at what i typed. it was supposed to be:

Sir,


Please provide me a quotation for XXOO. Would appreciate it if you can send it by today.
Thanx.


Mars.

instead, i typed:

Sir,


Please provide me exxurjsssl. Woullllllllld ride ride


ok. what the hell is THAT?!!? i mimpi apa I SENDIRI TAK TAU!!!! u faham tak, i'm really mad at myself. macam nak gigit and baling myself from the kitchen to the bathroom. ok that is SUCH A WEIRD PUNISHMENT KALAU YA PUNNNN!!!

anyhoos.
other that THAT, after lunch je, asal i tak drive, TERNGANGA tido dalam kereta colleague. APAHAL?
padahal i am the youngest there, thus should be the most energetic!
but i'm that snoozer that can't control her snooze-ness and it's literally driving me crazy!!!

oh oh. another one.
meeting with my department the other day. we were discussing about our upcoming projects. pastu boleh tak i tersungguk. haih.. the worst part was, MY BOSS WAS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT ME BILA I TERSUNGGUK!

kantoi busuk makcik.

haih.. mace mace..
my colleagues always have a go about this. ye la, dah la muda, tapi amboi kesihatan macam orang tua. dammmnn.. so i bought multi vitamins! in hopes that it will give me that boost i need. ye ke boleh? tomorrow la try. hopefully it'll work. i need to WORK like a darn good ENGINEER you gangstaaaah!

fiuh~! glad i got that out of my chest. kih kih!

ps: kalau u tanya my friends sekuliah, kat matrix or utp, they'd know about my sleeping habits. dalam class tu UNCONTROLLABLE! tidoooo je keje. haihh.. nasib baik tido dalam class still boleh dean's. tapi usaha kena lebih gila nak mampus.. makanya don't la follow my lead ok whoever's studying!!!

okays!
moving on to chilling. oh. nak ChillPopia boleh? kih kih! so what. nak gak.

vintage shirt (RM8 je. murah kan??), skinny black jeans, and mama's old shoes, shawl bought at Tangs (sale item~), red bag from Primark.

i'm all about vintage here. 

pps: notice that i always wear cheap or sale items or my mother's clothes? well, i believe fashion doesn't have to always be expensive. what can i prove by wearing expensive clothes anyway? who's going to care? asalkan i look and feel good. that's what i care about. =)

jangan tido masa kerja people!
peace! =D

Convo is short form for Convocation, Cheme is short form for Chemical Engineer.

my mom graduated!!! =D

look at how proud my daddy is.. and i'm proud of her too. =D

haha! noob la korang. it was MY CONVOCATION! but oh well. sape la tanak tumpang glamour kan? i had my 4 seconds of fame, and i felt very special for that. hahaha!!

it was fun but it was hectic too. all the picture taking, all the short talks because we don't have much time to catch up, throwing the mortar boards over and over again just so that we can get the almost-perfect shot of the hats being thrown and our fake fresh smiles padahal masa tu tengah bacin nak mampus, our feet hurt from wearing heels the whole day but have to fight the pain demi ke-lawa-an gambar, etc etc.

we were all sweating buckets (it's Tronoh for god's sakes!) but hey, demi demi. apa apa pun boleh.

so here! my graduation photos! credits to my friends and family! =D

okay okay, no more mortar-board-tossing-and-throwing pictures~~~~ (i told you ada banyak!)

many people asked "susah tak buat engineering?"

well, which course isn't?

to each its own, isn't it?

so here i am, a fresh graduate with a Chemical Engineering - Petroleum Major Degree.

=D

and i have them to thank. for being the reason.

i love you mama and abah.

is this vogue enough for you?

teehee!

ps: answer this, in all of the pictures, who's the most gangstaaahhh? sebab i rasa i paling gangstaaaaah. ohmygadaaaaahhhh~~ gewdixxxxx~~ hahaha!! abaikan please. =\

Convocation (minus) questions, please!

ok so it's almost our turn to take our scroll!!!
woohoo!!
i'm so excited (and freaking out for not picking out the right baju kurung to wear. and shawl. and shoes. yet. demm) coz it'll be the time for my friends and i to rekindle our last moments in our university!
tak sabar!!
hehehee..


oh however, there are a few things i dont look forward to.. the QUESTIONS. ehem.

1. are you recommended? - ans: no. tak ada rezeki..
2. dah dapat placement? - ans: refer to no.1
3. nape you tak recommended? - ans: kalau i tau, i bagitau ya =)
4. buat apa skang? - ans: keje and chilling.
5. keje kat mana? - ans: gastec. =D
6. company apa tu? - ans: google it here.bukan apa, malas nak cite panjang lebar.. sorry!
7. bila nak kahwin? - ans: bila convo nanti. jemput lah datang! kat chancellor hall je! =D
8. brape gaji u? - ans: ummm.. suka hati i la nak dapat brape! ok kerek. umm.. enough for a living =D
9. (dato') as buat apa? - ans: tanya la dia sendiri ya =)
10. ______ (friend's name) buat apa? recommended tak? keje dah? - ans: tanya la mereka sendiri please. =)

so there! i've answered the most FAQs here. heee.. i hope, friends, when you see me at convocation nanti, takyah la tanya i questions like this. not just me though, but anyone la unless its your close friends. 

i honestly (and especially) don't like people asking me about what my friends are doing. i'm not the kind yang nak compare, so if they got placement ke, keje overseas ke, keje kat perlis ke, tak keje ke, suka hati diorang la. ask them directly if you're that curious.

maybe i sound pissy here, and i don't mean to, but i just want to share these few questions that i completely dread.

just because i'm not recommended, doesn't mean i'm not capable. doesn't mean that i'm unfortunate. doesn't mean that i'm depressed.

i am very healthy, very happy, very content and satisfied with my job, very very lah!

so DON'T go "oh.. takpe.. bukan rezeki kot.." dalam nada bajet consoling. coz i don't need to be consoled or comforted. or trying to come up with your theories as to why i'm not recommended. tak perlu!! serious! don't waste your time wondering what is it i lack sampai tak dapat keje kat the Big P. i am already over it, and already moving on. tengok muka happy i! *senyum lebar nampak gigi - imagine please!

again, not just to me, but to others as well. you don't want to look like an inconsiderate and tactless person kan? so avoid asking questions yang menyengat jiwa k?

let's just be the way we were before we ended our last semester! let's pretend we've only been away for the end-of semester break! 

i miss being a student.. hehe!

can't wait for the mamak sessions!!! and i'll see you all, VERY SOON!

=B

peace!!

ps: i hope i won't trip masa amik scroll..

oversized sheer blue shirt from H&M (sale item~), Maxi skirt from LeClothes PO, black long sleeve inner beli tepi jalan, shawl cotton yang best from CheromForinlo, crocs wedges (sale~).

just that i love what i'm doing now.

peace!

how to conquer your inner Hulk when you're driving!

i saw road rage the yesterday.

this dirty-shabby-dark-blue-Hyundai car took over a shining-shimmering-splendid-Mercedes Benz at a sharp corner a.k.a selekoh tajam.

u can imagine la what happened after.

the merc kejar si hyundai, and i saw the two cars zig-zagged on the highway. the merc cocok si hyundai tu, sampai i lak rasa cam nak nangis. is it the hyundai's fault for overtaking the merc at the corner? mind you, it was not done dangerously. does it hurt so much to be overtaken by a shabby dirty car while yours is as silver as Harry Potter's patronus (it's a silver doe, in case you're not a HP fan)?

just because the merc is a bigger and more expensive car than the hyundai..
merc tu la noob..
tak reti take a sharp corner..

but then, even i have a terrible temper when im driving.

kalau ada kereta nak potong i, and they didn't signal; when the traffic light is turning red when i'm about to pass it; when i want to cut lanes but there're motors in between the lane; blablablabla, i will become Hulk-ish. and it ain't pretty! however, i think i've made progress. i am less Hulk-ish now. How?

here are some TIPS on how to DEAL with raging temper when YOU'RE driving!!

1. instead of flicking your middle finger, make a PEACE sign instead!
2. when you're about to finish the word "BAB...", quickly finish it as "BABA DAN NYONYAAA!!!" it'll make you think of melaka's lovely food! mmmm.. asam pedas...
3. when you're about to finish the word "BOD..", finish it with "BODY KU HOOOOOTTTTTT!!" and insyallah it will become hot! you know what they say: Law Of Attraction! say it and believe it. it will happen! hehe!
4. when you feel like cocoking a car from behind, dig your nose instead! it'll give you the satisfaction of koreking the dirt out your nose thus you'll have cleaner nostrils! or you can rub your eyes, scratch your head or bite your nails. those work too!
5. if 1,2,3 and 4 doesn't work for you, then sing-along to the song on the radio!  
6. if none of the above works, think of this then:

taken from Google Image

how's that? hope it helps!

try to control your temper when you're driving, ok friends? you don't like it when others do it to you, so then don't do it to others la. karma~
we all wanna live just another day. so drive carefully and PEACE!

ps: sorry the picture is kinda obscene, but hey, you did get distracted! hahahahahahahaha!! =p
