Went to Ipoh to visit my parents, specially my Mom, and wish her Happy Mother's Day.
Though Mom looks tired looking after her 2 grandchildren since the newly born 3rd grandson, in Ipoh General Hospital, she still smiling and cook my favorite dishes.
The my parent brought me for a boat ride at Gunung Lang Recreation Park, Ipoh. Great greenly scenery.

The night before was the Marhaban + kompang banging till 2am in the morning.
1am : I was kid(bride)napped by my aunty and driven to Sg. Perak Resort. I try to contact dash but he was asleep in the next room at the same resort. Unsuccessful and upset that I was not allowed to meet dash the day before to give him the baju nikah. So I leave an SMS for him, telling that I need to drive his car early next morning to go back to home.
7am : After a few hours of sleep, I met dash (for the first time after a few days), secretly at the parking lot. He gave me the car key and I drove home. I reached home and wake everyone up (all my relatives slept there).
8am : Final briefing and coordinating the task force. Make sure all personnels understand their duty during the kenduri. I have to make sure all final touches were done. Indoor and outdoor.
9am : Preparing and put myself into baju nikah + make up.
10am : I grab the car key and an assistant to hold my wedding dress in the car. I drove myself to Masjid Diraja Ubudiah but the groom was not there yet. Phew! I thought I was late. Put on the high heels and try to walk slowly. Coz I feel like I was running. Waiting for my friends to arrive, calmly (not!).
11am : The groom was finally here. Then all the bla bla bla bla by the Tn. Hj. Dollah, Imam Jurunikah gave his preach. yada yada yada.. then done. Cool! I was like jumping and skipping inside the masjid. It's finally over!
12pm : After a few more photo shots, then me and dash have to rush back to the Resort to get changed. But this time, I was not allowed to drive. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but my aunty said the bride cannot drive. WTF? And dash was driven by someone else. So I have to guide my friend to drive me back to the resort. Yeah, blue form, henshin!
1.30pm : I was late! I supposed to reach home from the resort at 1pm. But a few trips to get me and dash dressed and send back the mak andam back to her shop, make us late. My Dad called about 4-5 times asking for my location and warn me to haste a bit. I reached home and make myself visible to guests and pretend to wait for dash outside the house.
(I want to teach some of the guests a lesson. Most of the aunties just love to peek into the bride's room to watch the bride getting ready-lah, wanna see the bedsheet-lah, wanna see the bride-lah, serve them right when the bride was nowhere to be found inside the room. Hahahahahaha).
1.45pm : Dash arrived and another kompang banging. Bersanding.
2pm : Lunch looks yummy but it was too hot until I cannot swallow the food. Just keep myself hydrated by drinking more water. Blue cake slashing session after that.
3pm : We kidnapped our photographer to Sultan Azlan Shah Gallery for photo shoot. This time we don't really care, both bride and groom were driving, photographer sat behind.
4pm : Back from photo shoot and get changed. T-shirt and jeans. Since we didn't really enjoy the lunch just now, I was starving. Off we went to the town to eat laksa and chendol by the Kangsar river. Yummy !!! Not all bride and groom have a chance to do this on their wedding day, rite?
6pm : My Mom called and was looking for us every corner of the house. She ordered us to come back home at once! To clear all the mess after the kenduri. So we went back and make ourselves useful by collecting all the chairs, folding all the tables and count them. Sweep the floor, clear the rubbish. Phew! Not all bride and groom have a chance to do this on their wedding day either.
Well, it has been a year now. It was a hectic day, but I've tried my best to make my wedding day, a memorable one. Even tho it was not a grand wedding, it's truly unique, one of a kind.
15 April.
No, I am not forgotten any birthday.
I just cannot make it to the dinner to celebrate her birthday.
Then I cannot make it to her invitation to dinner on the day.
But I really really wanted to celebrate her birthday.
So that I can give her the beautiful birthday card I get for her.
So I need to apologize first....
.. then wish her Happy Belated Birthday.
happy belated birthday, Lavonne !!! Sorry ya! Muaks !!!
Once upon a time there was a mother who had 3 little sons; stoney, fugly and grumpy. The three little sons grew so big that their mother said to them, "You are too big to live here any longer. You must go and build houses for yourselves. But take care that the wolf does not catch you." The three little sons set off. "We will take care that the wolf does not catch us We will learn to live our lives independently" they said.
Stoney, the first son was successfully build a nice home. There were a few ups and downs but he never ask for help from the other 2 brothers. He wrote his own path of independent life, successfully. Meanwhile, the little brother, grumpy, leads his own life somewhere far far away from the other 2. He also successfully build a life. A comfy one. Then left the over-spoiled middle brother. He never think he would survive to live without the other 2. He always need help. He'd forgotten his promise to build his own house with his mother. He keep bothering the eldest one, even for small matters. The eldest one give a helping hand all he can, but one day the eldest one fed up. That's it. But as he is a stoney, he never say a word, just keep it to himself, never let the anger reach the the knowledge of fugly. Since stoney did not complaining to him, fugly started to take it for granted. He started to ask for more (help) and burden stoney's life.
One day, stoney reached his top of patience. Stoney turned into a (were-)Wolf and waited for fugly to come to his house (asking for help). He wait and wait. When fugly came by, he jumped out and ate fugly. Before having his last breath, fugly said, "Can you help me for the last time? Please pay my loan after my death."
- The End -
Moral of the story: Don't think people help you because they like you. Sometimes sympathy can change into grudge.
