My Best Friend's Wedding

-

Assalamualaikum,

"And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same..."

When my best friend told me that she's getting married in plus minus 30 days, a mountain of mix emotions avalanche hits me. 30 days is not enough to wrap up our bachelor best friend day! And I don't even know her future husband! More importantly, I need more time to let her go...

Me and my best friend, we are not the typical two of a kind and over the top best friend. I am the oversensitive melancholy cry baby whereas she is none of that. Hahaha. We even live two separate lives. We had a blast during our school days, before time and distance started to take their place between us. We are occupied with study, career, responsibilities and other stuff. But we survive, for 15 years.

"But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound..."

Throughout all these years (and more years ahead InshaAllah), she is very significant in my life. I would have spent my school days being a social freak if she weren't by my side. I would not survive Mathematics and Physics if she did not make me study. I would not survive losing Mak without extra strength from her warm hands. I would have gone crazy going through my roller coaster love life and dramatic break up without her being my crying shoulder. I have melancholy as my middle name, but having her by my side make me want to enjoy my life. (While collecting pictures for this entry, I notice that I truly look happy in pictures with her ^_____^ )

Of my entire bridesmaid time (so far), to be by my best friend's side on her wedding day is the best moment ever. It is a great honor though I only played a small part in it. For a lifelong friendship, I wish I could contribute more for her wedding. I thought we'd running errands for our wedding - talking about it, picking dresses and flowers, shopping till we drop... But time and distance make it impossible. For that, I am grateful that I still had a chance to attend her wedding and do the least. [There were 5 of us and I have attended all four weddings. Mine would be the last *wink*]

When a guy found his soul mate, I lost a best friend. It truly feels like I am losing a best friend... in a good way. It took me ages to complete this entry because I always end up crying. In fact, I've been crying since her engagement day. Hahaha. For good reasons, ya. This is such an emotional entry. I have so many things to say but nothing came out the way I want. So this is the feeling when your best friend gets married - you are stuck between feeling tremendously excited and happy and being sad and lonely. Hahaha. Everybody should find time to hang out with their best friend before any of them got married! ^______^ v

My darling Maznita, it is truly my happiest that you have found a decent Prince that would love you every single day of forever. It's easy to fall in love, but hard to find someone who will catch you. Believe me, I know ^_______^ And you, MashaAllah, you have found a soul who loves you back; equally and more. Baraka Allahu Lakuma wa Baraka alikuma, Wa jamaah baina kuma fee khair. May Allah bless you and shower his blessings on you and bring you together in goodness. Amiin Ya Rabb. Be happy.

Wassalam.

Ugly Jealousy

Assalamualaikum, There exist an individual who persistently pushing her luck on my patience. She has been doing this [crap] since our love story acknowledged to her. If I am to talk about the 'unfortunate coincidences', I might just sound paranoid. Her target: my jealousy; her weapon: him. I've been watching and letting go when she called him with a nickname. I told myself, it's just another nickname. But when she wrote on his wall, calling him that [stupid] nickname again, I said: that's it she just started a war. I was rummaging my mind for the trickiest and ugliest plan for her. I swore to make both of them suffer. I am going to explode and the whole world won't have place to hide. You can call me irrational or over sensitive or cemburu buta or not sporting; be my guess. What kind of girl running over someone else's other half, and acting weirdly [and gooey-ly] 'loving'? She would have guessed even with one side of her brain that that will turn me

Assalamualaikum, It's 4th January 2010; First day of working in 2010. Few days left for this 25 years young lady :) I'm turning 26!!! Eventhough at heart I am forever 13... I am so turning 26! Oh... 25 is like standing on the thin line between young and not young. But 26... the "6" indicate that I have cross over to the other side of the world, which is not so young. The hysterics are more on the fact that I am so very much single and that a wedding is expected and that I am having my first baby when most of women my age would have their second and so on and the question will keep on coming and bugging me. Ugh! Hey hey! I am not that girl who weeps over my age. I am proud of turning 26 and the next. Just that living in this world with these big ears, I hear cruel whispers. Don't you dare blaming my ears; you should mind your words and please get a new hobby other than giving people a hard time. In this departure hall of gate 25, I watch a rerun of how I spent my a

Assalamualaikum, These children were so nice for allowing me to take their pictures. It is a satisfaction to be able to freeze these moments. Sejuk hati memandang budak-budak ni… Wassalam. Picture 1 This lovely girl was attending SCH Wajadiri 2010 at KUIN, Alor Setar, Kedah. This is my first shot of her. I did not notice it, but her dress is exactly like mine. Coincidence? I'd say it was a sweet one! Picture 2 Rini and I were testing our new DSLR at Teluk Tempoyak and this lovely girl was at the nearby playground with her mother and brother. My first shot on her as well. I love her expression. Picture 3 These two boys were sitting on a slide. Upon seeing me with my D5000, they too, cooperate and allow me to capture this moment. Picture 4 and 5 A group of boys was digging sand -- sounds like boys to me. Hehehe. They were so happy that I can't help but try my best to capture their smile and giggles. Of course, they were all okay but towards the end they tried to involve me in the
