Photoblog #5 – Nostalgic

reception gombak, originally uploaded by yunayuni.

I just learned how to do vintage effect on photos, so i have done it on one of my favourite photos from our wedding.

I just love the emotions in this one.It was during our reception on Emri’s side.

If you notice in the picture, my brother was trying to put on my leg bangles, which came off when we were in the procession to the hall. I am quite surprised on how cheerful i looked, probably it was because i was trying my best to hide my nervousness. My bridesmaid cousin looked worried though.

The procession was delayed by 1 hour, and we were rushing to finish it before the nearby mosque recites the Zuhur azan. The delay was due to my parents and some of my family entourage not able to make it on time, because they were literally unable to get the car to move.

Of all the days, it was this day that my father locked the carkeys inside the car, and, it was parked in front of the house gate. Why not use other cars? Yeah well, it just so happened too, that all other available cars are blocked inside.

Funny huh? Oh well, it will surely make an interesting story to tell our children someday *grin*

Memories, sweet memories.

Mixed Emotions.

Happy

Parents are coming back home for good very soon.

One of the girls,Mira,is getting married next week.

Hubby has a manual lense from FIL’s old Pentax,but it snaps beautiful photos.

Learning to take nicer pics now.And learning to edit them to be even nicer.

Hubby passed his exam!

Content

We are closing the deal on the house this Sunday.

Hubby has agreed that we will have a cabinet for the kitchen.So glad that getting a less than RM10k budget cabinet is still possible these days.IMPIANA Sept told us that.

I bought myself a TEFAL food steamer with a great bargain (that was an impulse-purchase)

Lonely

Am waiting for hubby to come home.10 days together during last raya holidays was the longest time we spend together so far.Made me miss him even more.

…and its raining most of these nights.

Excited

Attending many weddings this October month.Cant wait to shoot pics and meet people that we have not met for some time.

Company Annual Dinner is coming soon in November.Theme: Back to School.Now wth? What should i wear??

Broke

Yes,its just the beginning of the month and yet i found out that i cannot simply spend anymore!

Mellow

Mr Boss is leaving the department.Getting a new boss now, he was a colleague who got promoted.So i reckon things will go well.Hopefully.

Sorry&Sad

Yet another earthquake occured again last night.Double the trouble.Triple the devastation.My prayers to the victims and their families.May they recover quickly.And may we learn our lesson from this episode,again.

The Crib Project: Colours,colours

I am hearting these colour palletes for our new home.What do you reckon? Which colour is for which part of the house,you think?

I have been in love with natural hues since forever.But i do love all colours.Yet when it comes to choosing, i always look to the practical factor.So mostly my preferred colours are staples (e.g earth tone,black,white,cream,denim) and easy to mix and match.

We just signed the S&P document last Saturday, but the house have not received its CFO yet.Hopefully it wont take too long. We cant wait to start with the touch ups and finally move in.

On another note, hubby is having yet another exam for his LAE this Wednesday.He is caught studying most of the time since last week.

So,here is a good luck kiss for hubby.

You can do it dear,i know it 😉

Got a CROCS?

I dont know why, but i am really happy to finally own a CROCS. Hubby bought one for me, after my endless request from him. Plus he always asks me to get a good and comfy pair of shoes for walking, so that adds up the reasons. Haha.

Lepas beli, kata hubby, “Lepas ni jangan complain sakit kaki lagi ye?”

I replied jovially,”Iyelah!”. Sambil tambah perisa with a hug.

I am really a sucker when it comes to wearing high heels when shopping or on a leisure trip.Eventhough i really admire the sexyness and i love the confidence a pair of high heels gives me, i am still not up to wearing it on a day out. End of the day, i will only end up complaining about the aches.

Tadaa! And i heart the accesories too, a Gryffindor badge and a flower! 😀

Thanks bi! Muahs!

Rasa rindu padamu.

Of all the downside of living separately (during the weekdays) from my husband, there is one particular thing that i find worth appreciating.

It’s the fact that I always look forward to the day he arrives home,with his messy undid hair, worn-out-from-work looks and his “Hunny, i am home” smile. It’s the fact that i get to feel excited with the anticipation of getting to spend another 2 days with him waking up beside me. It’s the fact that i get to do my favourite thing at the kitchen, cooking for him, eventhough sometimes it ends up a so-so cuisine.

Eventhough during the short time occassionally there may be some small arguments interlaced, but in the end, when it comes to Monday again, i always felt like hugging him tightly,never to let him go for the rest of the new weekdays.

2 days are never enough, spending quality time with him. But because its 2 days, it makes me appreciate his companionship even more.

p/s : Does not mean that we want to live like this forever, so look ahead, new plans are falling into place now. We will be updating. Heheh. And mind my emotional entry this time, coz i really miss him.

Lullaby buat anakku.

Disclaimer: Belum,saya belum pregnant lagi. Insya Allah masanya akan tiba 🙂

As blogged previously,hubby and I are supposed to attend M.Nasir’s 1 Wajah Concert last July.However due to some unforeseen circumstances, the concert has been postponed to November.

I admit that i am not a huge follower of M.Nasir’s art, but recently i have been listening to his songs so that i can enjoy the concert better. After all there are a few of his songs that i have always loved, e.g Bonda,Mustika,Bagaikan Sakti,Sentuhan Listrikmu,etc.

Hubby introduced this charming song to me. Which i seriously think will be a lullaby for our children in the future 🙂

Oh Anak

Music by M.Nasir, Lyrics by Allahyarham Loloq

Bintang-bintang ke syurga
Pertama percaya
Dua tak putus asa
Tiga terus terima
Empat tak berubah-ubah

Kelima rela berserah
Enam pentingkan yang sedia
Tujuh yang terpaling istimewa
Keikhlasanmu

Kalau ada bendanya
Mesti ada namanya
Kalau ada isinya
Mestilah ada bekasnya

Perlahan-lahan makan anak Sayang
Jangan sampai tercekik
Paku seluruh alam
Berhati-hati minum Sayang
Jangan sampai tersedak
Buih satu lautan

Perlahan-lahan jalan Sayang
Jangan sampai tersandung
Bendul gunung impian
Berhati-hati tatang alahai intan
Jangan sampai (kau) tertumpahkan
Setitis pun kasih sayang
(Kelak kau ‘kan hidup dalam
Kekesalan berpanjangan)

Tiada petua kemenangan
Setanding ketaatan
Kepada Sang Pemilik
Kehendak dan ikhtiar
Rindumu yang sebenar

A light in a dark time.

A lot is happening these few days (which is not very encouraging), but despite that, good news arrived from Papa a few minutes ago.

They are all coming home, for good, by November 2009. Yes,Nov 2009.

Macam cepat pulak.

Tapi on the other hand, tak dapat la nak honeymoon dgn Bi to Spain next year 😦 Was planning another Eurotrip, but looks like it has to hold (or cancelled).

Anyway, parent’s house in Putrajaya is still in progress, i wonder where they will stay before moving in.

Apapepun, yours truly is happy 🙂

To hubby, things will get better.I am here for you.Always remember that.

Wedding Photos

Dear readers,
our wedding photos have finally arrived yesterday. Hope you are still in the mood. Heheh.You can find it in my domestic-goddess blog, Beautiful & Bright.

I have posted our Nikah ceremony pics so far. But more to come later since there are a lot of pics! We were very lucky to have 3 photographers during the events 🙂

Hope you have fun.Thanks y’all.

Mmuahs.

Yunayuni & Kuemri

One thing that i learned from our looong relationship…

…is that i cannot bear waking up in the morning when we had an unsettled fight the night before.

It truly hurts when i think of him in the morning,then i remembered that we fought.Especially when i knew that somehow part of the reason is that i overreacted.

That’s why Ne Yo sang about it.

So people,jangan gaduh sebelum tido OK? Berbaik-baik lah 🙂

MAD by Ne Yo

She’s staring at me, I’m sitting wondering what she’s thinking
Ummm Nobody’s talking, cause’ talking just turns into screaming (Oooo)
And now yes I’m yelling over her, she yelling over me,
all that that means is neither of us are listening,
and what’s even worse, that we don’t even remember why we’re fighting

It’s all for nothing (fighting for)
nothing, (crying for)
nothing, (oohh)

When we won’t let it go for nothing, (come back for)
nothing,
it should be nothing
to a love like what we got oh baby

I know sometimes it’s gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
cause’ I can’t sleep through the pain (can’t sleep through the pain)
girl I don’t want to go to bed, mad at you
and I don’t want you to go to bed, mad at me
no I don’t want to go to bed mad at you
and I don’t want you to go to bed, mad at me (oh noo)

Umm
and it gets me upset girl when you’re constantly accusing
(asking questions like you already know)
hey we’re fighting this war when both of us are losing
(this ain’t the way that love is supposed to go, what happened to working it out?)
We fall into this place where you ain’t backing down, and I ain’t backing down,
so what the hell do we do now?

It’s all for nothing (fighting for)
nothing, (crying for)
nothing… (oohh)

When we won’t let it go for nothing,
nothing,
it should be nothing
to a love like what we got oh baby

I know sometimes it’s gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
cause’ I can’t sleep through the pain (can’t sleep through the pain)
girl I don’t want to go to bed mad at you
and I don’t want you to go to bed, mad at me
no I don’t want to go to bed mad at you
and I don’t want you to go to bed, mad at me (oh noo)

Oh baby this love ain’t gone be perfect, (perfect perfect oh no)
And just how good it’s gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight long as everything is alright between us before we go to sleep…
