Kak Ana's Wedding

I am beginning to pick up some old bad habits of mine again, which is abandoning my blog, oops but I have a very good reason! I went back to Johor Bahru over the weekend, which is my mom's hometown, for one of my cousin's weddings! Usually, I'd be too busy to join the family but nowadays, I have too much free time on my hands so of course! I wouldn't pass on seeing all my cousins again, especially on Kak Ana's special day. 

We left home on Friday, dropped by my father's side in Seremban and continued our journey. Oh, we even dropped by JPO, Johor Premium Outlet (ok I just totally bantai nama but I am guessing I am right!!), because I haven't been there before. Not to shabby I guess? If you want cheap high end designer brands from past seasons, then it's worth the trip, but for normal brands like Levis, Nike and Adidas, naah. Might as well wait for a few months here in KL. Mama was the only one running around while Papa, my sister and I just had coffee at Starbucks. It was a very short trip cuz we still needed to get to Johor Bahru and actually check-in into the hotel. After that, we had dinner at Stulang and headed to my aunt's apartment to help with any last minute bunga telur duties. We were back at the hotel around midnight and I dozed off almost immediately! Traveling makes me super tired and I never sleep in car rides!

The next day was the akad nikah ceremony. I actually started this post contemplating whether to write in Bahasa Malaysia or English because lately I've been practicing my bahasa (I can speak perfect bahasa pasar but not that good with the real deal bahasa baku) (why am I even explaining this?! lol) and I think I sound good but my friends beg to differ haha. Okay anyway! Had breakfast at the hotel and headed straight to my aunt's place around 10am. Everything went smoothly, Alhamdulillah. My cousins and I even made bets on who'd cry and etc (my uncle did btw haha), it was a great day! We were back at the hotel around 5pm, and relaaaaxed. Used the hotel facilities to the max! Ended the night with a short Skype session with the Shafiq. We've been together for the past 25 months as of the 20th of this month so :) 

The next day was the majlis perkahwinan. Helped my mom here and there and my relatives were chaotic as usual :p Love it! I'll let these cliche wedding photos do all the talking ;) We headed back to KL the same night and I joined the group at Darus as usual. 

I had a good weekend. It was a very simple and 'homey' kind of celebration, hee. May God bless Kak Ana and Abang Z for a lifetime of happiness! 

Self-Pampering

Had lunch at Sakae Sushi, went threading and chopped about 5 inches off my locks.

I feel good :)

Crossroads

For the past few days, I've been feeling a little bit down and lost. I am not entirely sure about what though. I guess I just felt like I needed to know what I was sent here for. Since I have SO much free time on my hands, I'm always thinking about something and yesterday I freaked out. There I was, high from the caffeine, with two of my closest friends listening, when I just opened myself a little bit. Naturally, they thought I was being a lunatic and told me to get a job. I did not refuse politely (hahahaha sorry guys) but hear me out! I am not passionate about anything. At all. And I want to be passionate about something, anything!! And then there were also talks about my morals and beliefs in life.. Man, the list just went on and on.. We were literally screaming at Starbucks and the good soppy music playing in the background DID NOT HELP AT ALL. Emo sial. 

In a way, I feel calmer today at this moment because I managed to let it out and free myself from being too consumed. But I am still in the same spot. I need to move and not be crazy anymore. I need inspiration. 

To add to my misery, he left exactly two months ago. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS? Because they suck. There is nothing good or fun about long distance relationships. We will be hitting 25 months the day after tomorrow. All I want from him is to just promise me that he won't stop fighting for us and always try his best. That we're okay and happy and he's always going to be there to layan my nonsense. Honestly, he does not have a clue how much I miss him. I try to avoid telling him any of this because I know he's there to achieve his dreams and etc, so I think it would be selfish of me to pile all these feelings. I guess I myself have to tough it out and be strong. Hopefully, I'll be able to see him in two months ++. Please pray for my luck!! 

Pastels

I am OBSESSED with the Spring collections everywhere! The pastels are absolutely TO DIE FOR. Sadly, as a college student, I can't really get everything I want but staring at them via online sure helps a little bit! (I'm sad I know) Managed to find a few on Polyvore so here they are!

AREN'T THEY GORGEOUS? They are very plain but I prefer them to be that way. Sometimes I do wish I would dress up more and learn how to clash the right prints, layer my clothes and wear sequins like no tomorrow, but I'm just shy I guess. Weather at this lovely country ain't helping either. Anyway, simplicity at its best. I WANT ALL. S, please take note.
