12 days from now I will be getting married. Labels: Happiness
12 days from now I will belong to the man I love.
12 days from now I will be half of a whole.
12 days from now I will no longer be alone.
12 days from now I will be the happiest girl in the world.
I've never thought I'd be married so soon. I've never thought that I would be marrying an Indonesian. Most of all, I've never thought that my family would take it so well. Thanks to my entire family who are ready to have him as part of us, so much so that they're getting ready to tease him already. I'm sure my Mak Ngah is looking for appropriate Malay jokes to tell since she can't effectively use the "What has six wheels and flies" joke. Hopefully he doesn't pass out at the next family gathering.
Most importantly, and most meaningful for me, thanks so much to my dad who gave us blessing, who accepted my decision with such and open heart and mind, who understood how much he means to me, and who is willing to accept this person into our family and into our home even though he's from a different country, a different culture and has almost nothing. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful and understanding father who will do just about anything for the happiness of his children.
I've been feeling a bit down lately what with the new immigrant rules that state Indonesian citizens can only return to Malaysia after a one month cooling period in their country, exams coming up, tests and assignments, and so many more problems which made me close to homicidal. So, to make myself feel better I made a list of 10 things that make me happy. I would have preferred to treat myself to a nice spa and salon trip but I can't afford that =D Labels: Happiness
1. When my fiance comes back after a long absence
2. When someone borrows my car and fills it up
3. When I discover a new place with great food
4. When my baby sister is happy to see me and reaches out her arms
5. When my sister-in-law cheers me up when I'm feeling extra miserable
6. When I take a nice long shower then snuggle under a blanket
7. When friends and family show they care, even in the tiniest way
8. When I can fit into shirts that were once too tight
9. When all my work is done and I can have some me-time
10. When I'm alone at home, put on my favourite music, close my eyes and lose myself
