The Reason I Haven't Been Writing...

...is because I found myself very occupied with something.

However, after tossing with the idea for quite some time, at the expense of some readers shunning my blog for a while - like, maybe for the next two months or so - I've decided that it's better to blog about something that's really close to my heart than not writing at all

And right now, I'm really, really, really busy with preparing for my wedding.

I could empathise with Docteejay when he claimed that he found it a bit difficult to be creative in writing as the big day nears. At least this is the second time for him – for me though, my wedding is the first in my family, even the first among all my paternal cousins circle. So, everybody – and I mean, E.V.E.R.Y.B.O.D.Y in the family is focusing on this coming wedding. Heck – I even got a surprise call from a long lost bibik (helper) who heard my engagement news through her cousin who’s still working for an uncle in Bukit Rahman Putra… Talk about everybody…

Once, a colleague’s wife (yes, I know Derex personally, we used to work in the same division) advised a bride-to-be to plan the wedding a year ahead of time. I however, have less than three months from my engagement day to the wedding. So, that’s like getting just a quarter of the time many other girls get in preparing for their wedding… Actually, my family planned for the wedding to be held early next year – some time in late January or early February. After a few discussions with his family though, we agreed to meet halfway and thus the wedding is set to be held in December, insya Allah.

There are so many checklists to edit time and time again, so many things to buy, so many tasks to do, so many stuff to oversee that one could not help but feeling helpless at times. A boss reminded me again and again – to take extra good care of my health. Yes, this preparation thingy has taken its toll on me a few times – so far, I’ve already experienced a few severe headaches and a bad case of cold.

And things are bound to get… err, more interesting?
