For Dummies

W : Andani's

Andani was girl I met from SLB Balikpapan, she got married on 1st of August. She was the one who pretty much guided me through Jakarta's textile market. I just got internet connection in my own bedroom which is pretty awesome considering the fact that the company man doesn't seem to care about me not being out on the main deck during standby hours. Super!

I browsed through her album and it was just beautiful. I'm sure she spent a small fortune looking at the scale of things. Which is definitely the opposite direction of where we are taking ours.

Here's to wishing you well, and the awkward rapport we built during our MOC sessions talking about different types of chiffon, laces and taffeta silks.

W : The Venues

If this was what my wedding reception looked like, I'd die a happy woman. Kot.

As young couples, we wanted to celebrate our big day of course in grandeur. We searched high and low for the most kitsch, most photo dramatic places which could accommodate a reception of some sort.

Which lead to places which needed big bucks. $$$$. Money talks, bullshit walks.

But since we are both funding our own reception, we had to come back down to earth. And somehow in the process, we've silently decided that the 'friends only' reception in Pekan was going to be the greatest event. We were going to do things our way, at our own expense and hopefully it'll be a blast. The KL reception was going to be more for my parents..I don't mind one bit.

Maybe our bbq night would not look anything like this, but I'd like to continue dreaming that it would.

And it'd be great fun to make an arch and have crepe paper flipping away under the coconut trees


...until I got news that F might be considering the change in venues for Pahang side. Haha. (minor heart attack)

Ikan goreng lauk labu dan kicap

Aku dah dua hari miss makan malam. Sebab aku lewat pulang dari CKA. Perjalanan aku dari CKA ke living quarters di CKP ada la dalam 300 langkah merentasi 2 jambatan, 6 flights of stairs. Eh omputih pulak. Kadang-kadang crew kesian kat aku kerja shift tak menentu dan menapau untuk aku. Orang yang betul2 kenal aku saja yang tahu aku perlu ada kicap, sambal belacan, atau apa2 yang pedass la.

Tapi setelah sebulan berpuasa, perut pon da kembali neutral. Tak elok makan pedas banyak sangat. Orang kata sebab itu juga rambut cepat gugur. Oih. Arini standby (yea) leh berguling bace buku cerita walaupun di dalam cabin yang ekon rosak, bersebelahan dgn air compressor bising.

Plug your ears and read on!

Ceq lapaq. Pasang hajat untuk berbuka jam 7 on the dot dan kemudian melantak lagi minom malam at 9pm =)

Happy birthday buat abang kandungku yang ala2 hindustanii love you much!!
