one year since the engagement..

9 June 2008 - exactly one year ago… I got engaged to my then-boyfriend whom is my now-husband. How time flies… we have been married for 4 months and 9 days but hey who’s counting, right? Heheh…

I remember the day… it was a Saturday. I slept late the night before, helping out with the hantaran and all… I wasn’t nervous.. not at all… only when the ‘rombongan’ arrived… I got super-nervous.. heheh.. biasalah kan..

The event was at 4pm and I was already at 8am plus I think.. I had to go do my hair at the salon. I didn’t have any make-up artist coming over. It was a last minute thing. It was suppose to be a ‘sarung cincin’ thing but since my MIL wanted to give buah tangan so jadilah tunang with hantaran and all. I did the hantaran myself which got modified when my aunty came… cis! The theme was pink and my poor then-bf had to wear pink.. kih kih kih. Anyways… I did my hair at the salon.. came back at about 11am… got half ready coz it was SOOOO hot.. seriously panas ok.. and my house is small and no air-cond in the living room… can u imagine!

I started with my make-up at 2 pm.. yes I did my own make-up. My skin was so much better then.. seriously.. im having more problems with pimples and maybe acne now then I ever did before I got engaged. So wearing makeup was a breeze aka cepat!

Then cousins and aunties and uncles came. It was a small ‘do’ coz of space constraint.. but it was fun and panas! It rained at about 6 pm.. thanfully after everone ate. Later we found out why it only rained at 6pm… rupa-rupa nyer was boiling lesung (the pestel or was it the mortar, but the smaller stone of the pestel and mortar… are u confused??) and my brother switched off the fire at about that time… and it rained! Itu petua orang-orang dulu.. there are many that I’ve heard to avoid rain or bad things from happening at big events especially weddings.. My mom did something else too… tanam and campak something in the garden.. I cant remember what now. Will ask her later..
