syukur alhamdulillah, the viva went well
now i need to do the minor amendments and submit the thesis
planning to do that before end of this month
phew.. it feels like a big stone *with capital B* is lifted from my shoulder
really,, it has been emotional.. it's like a real long stretch of mental torture :p
at least now i need not to worry on the thesis anymore insyallah
alhamdullilah i am so so relieved God knows how thankful I am
the viva's finally over..phew
this reminds me to award myself with
the whole seasons of sex and the city,yeay!
so tomorrow's mum's bday
and apart from the viva result being my primary
present to her hehe
we the coolest siblings in the world bought 2 sets
of new cellphones to our parents,
let's just regard it as an advanced gift for dad
but everyone knows that something has got
to be given when November arrives hehe
and yeay part is that we gonna have a merry bday dinner tmrw!
this saturday will be another working day for me
honestly, i dont remember when was the last time
i got to just laze around at home
or going out for nice lunch or movie
it feels like ages, really
things have been a bit hard, and i dont really
expect everyone to understand that
but sometimes I just hope that ppl would not
take for granted the effort that I took
to just say hi and send some friendly texts,
for sometime assurance is what I needed
and my heart sank when some chose to sound
selfish and inconsiderate over friendly responses
I wish things are easier to be explained
Anyhow, it's time to catch up with the wedding prep :)
will find sometime probably on Sunday
to visit Kak Ita, the one who'll
be doing my make up.. checking on some stuff
well i guess the flower hunting has to be next week,
hope that i'll get to make an excuse for another working Sat
Hun managed to borrow the Wacom tablet
for him to be working on the card design
yes, you heard it right. we are still drafting that.heheh
So I hope you'll have a nice weekend
oh and thanks for providing your emails,
will figure the setting soon :)
nitenite!
xoxo

Chatting with a dear good friend cum colleague made me realised
that I am way behind the schedule.
(It was a real inspiring one, mind you)
I've wasted much time and opportunities.
And the email that came in this afternoon really gets me going;
August 08: ....."Looking forward to hearing from you when you are ready...."
Jan 09:..."Hope this helps you develop your plans for further study..."
7 hours ago:..."I look forward to seeing your proposal soon..."
So am I ready?
Yes, I am.

*I am listening to Solace of Pain by The Gentle Waves
*The small birthday gathering at the office was sweet and relaxing
*This nice colleague of mine gave a big porcelain cup + saucer
*Someone from office asked on my big day :)
*My office ID card is finally ready to be collected
*I get my free time to read :)
Oh , 2 things that made my Friday a lil sour (but I wish not to think much of);
*A lady was so rude to a respectable Prof
* I met someone who encouraged me to go to Australia
P/S: How's your Friday so far?

i am really really tired with the traffic jam
i think i only get to speed for the first 5 mins only
same thing, to and fro.
the fuel is running low faster than it should be
a bad bad news :(
worse thing is that i turn into an angry chicken every morning
sigh
i swear i won't be pressing the snooze button again tomorrow
good luck to me

As a start, I refrain myself from ranting on workloads and pressures
by channeling my mind into sweet little thoughts on wedding works and plans
You don’t wanna waste your creative ideas over ranting, do you?
What I am trying to work on now is to concentrate on the study proposal
especially during working hours since I have my own room,
space and minimal disruption here
And get my hands on the sweet little things, the décor and whatnot
right after I leave my office
*Realistically speaking, this looks sound enough :)
Ok perhaps some updates on the wedding preparation,,
we have tentatively finalized the date.
I just feel like it should be revealed when the time comes so
it shall be enveloped and delivered with the right excitement to you :)
Anyways, being the super excited girl I always am,
I will insyaAllah share on some little updates on the preparation with you love.
Like now, I am compiling a collection of beautiful songs
to be played on the wedding day.
Actually I am still thinking on that as I would like to keep the ambience alive.
So the first step is to compile any potential songs for that day,,
as for now what I have in mind are songs with beautiful lyrics + musics
from Indonesian bands/singers, oldies , etc
I have a few in the list now, so feel free to suggest some k :)
Little Wing; The Corrs
Throw Me a Rope- KT Tunstall
God Must Have Spent A Little Time With You –N’Sync (we need one at least, don’t we?)
When the Stars Go Blue-Tyler & Bethany/The Corrs
Erti Cinta; Maya Karin
Sampai Menutup Mata; Acha Septriasa
Tentang Kamu; Bunga Citra Lestari
Terima Kasih Cinta ; Afgan
thanks loves :)

me and mom just got back from Ampang
I think I've tried on 10 dresses in total today
it may look like just a few but the changing process was a lil tedious
im pretty much tired with driving and all
but we managed to sign a deal for something we really like
and that's worth it
*less headache
anyways, we are planning something light for dinner
and i just need to get some things done :-shower, change the bedsheet, clean the room, update receipts and payments in planner, lots of ironings, etc.
oh i just knew that hun has a resolution for 09 and it's very straightforward and simple:
TO WAKE UP EARLY
so i'll just find some time for myself tonight..maybe read a chapter or two. and plan for tomorrow
ok that sounds good.
adios!

Can't quite believe I have only less than half an hour to call 2008 an end
there's just so much to confess on 08 and i just don't know what to start with
Overall, for me 2008 is a long stretch of mind challenging process esp with my studies
and i end it with my first day at work today
and i love 2008 specifically for its june 7, the day i got engaged to hun
well i think that's basically it..
i don't exactly remember anything that makes me hate zeroeight
but i can actually foresee the extension of mind challenging period in 2009
okay, not gonna be pessimistic now so i think it's more like
the challenges that i've to overcome :) ok?
and i have a lot to pray for 2009, let's just hope i could plan the time well
on resolutions;-let's just not renew the previous ones, no?
i don't have any specific ones (just yet),
let's just say that i want to put more and more effort to fulfill the little goals,
that's pretty much summarize them all hehe :)
and
to my love;
and have a great year ahead :)
you're a truly special person with
a really beautiful heart <3
happy birthday fiance :)
don't forget our breakfast date tomorrow!
heart you!
happy new year folks!
