The Day The Supershort Gets Longer!

Dear Diary,


























18 months, y'all!

Soooo many things have changed.

From a pair of busy auditor and starving yoga instructor,
today we run a yoga business together.

















December 07




















March 08




















June 08














September 08

February 09






After 18 months and
after looking back at our photos for the past one and a half year,
I have to say the biggest and most obvious change is...

MY HAIR!


When I was 21, I used to say
"I'll get married when my hair reaches my waist"
and (or but?) this week especially,

I have this itch to cutting my hair spiky short again!

Macam mana nak kahwin?

The Day 'I Love You' Is Cheap, Set Dinners Are Ridiculously Priced & Chocolates Taste Better

But still,

It was nice to hear the three words like never before,
it was so far the best dinner I had this year
and yes, chocolates never taste this good

TODAY.


And oh, I think I made Supertall weep with what I put together for him ;)

The Day We've Got Something for You

Dear Diary,

(THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTORIAL)

I'd like to think,
we are the couple you love having around.































We make fun of each other,
we finish each other's line, pick each other's food
and we are two very different individuals yet the very same
(contoh: His weight is 88 kg and I weigh 88 pounds now).

If you are lucky (and if we love you too),
we'd even pay for your food.

We have been together for 13 months but still tak pernah gaduh, langsung!
We see each other everyday but still not tired of each other('s unshaved legs / face and crazy behaviours).
It is amazing and almost impossible, I know.

But for a couple who has never ever fought,
I hold the record for the girl that sulks almost everyday,
if not at every hour.

I came across the F1 Singapore pictures from his camera
that he only uploaded like, a couple of weeks ago.
And that is 4 months after the event!
Sooooo kenot jadi blogger Supertall ni.

And found these (taken by his Superflexible friend at Coffee Club, Marina Bay),
that only prove I sooooo kuat merajuk and I marah macam real!


(DISCLAIMER: Foto-foto di bawah bukan lakonan)





















































Of course no two people are the very same.

At times I wish he wakes up early as I am a very morning person
so we can go for yoga and breakfast together,

at times I know he wishes I play more games on his XBox besides Rockband
so I wouldn't pout while surfing on his laptop while he ruthlessly kills people on Assassin's Creed
and kicks balls on NFL (I don't get boys who play football video games, why play games when you can futsal for real?),

at times I wish he would eliminate bragging how good chicken and meat taste to him
because I seriously could love him less for that,

at time I know he wishes I understand that he just does not eat fruits at all
(seriously, I still don't get it. How can one TAK SUKA makan buah dan TAK PERNAH makan longan, rambutan dan mangga?)

Since he doesn't do stuff that turns me off in a guy (he smells nice and fresh ALL THE TIME,
he doesn't go clubbing and he doesn't layan girls on Facebook or Friendster, bagus kan?)
and nothing I can do (have tried, have done and have confessed) can make him jealous or even raise an eyebrow,
(seriously kan, either he is too cool a boyfriend, or he just doesn't care!)

so we find ways in keeping the sparks alive,
by calling each other irritatingly-true-nama-manja everyday.

I call him:
BULU, PERUT, GEMUK and BERUK.
The last two rhyme very well with his real name.

He calls me:
Well, only TETEK.
Because evidently, I get merajuk (mengada-ngada) verrrrrrry easily if I get called 'pendek' or 'mak nenek'.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

NOW,
in spirit of giving this coming Chinese New Year
(and in mood of spring cleaning my overflowing adidas wardrobe as well),
since I dont want to can't share my boyfriend,
I am giving away two adidas Original jackets for him and for her,
if you can come out with the wittiest / funniest / most logical dialogues
for the full sequence of these pictures:

So get loving, get original and get posted
to win my adidas Original!

The Day 'We Can Be Heroes'

Dear Diary,

We were watching recorded repeat of Heroes Season 3 on his AstroMAX last week
when I asked him my usual merepek question,

TYI: Monyet, if you can have Matt Parkman's superpower, nak tak?











That is not my ais sirap. I don't drink iced drink.
Dipinjam dari tukang ambik gambar untuk tujuan bergambar.




Supertall: Nak lah! So I can read what's really on your mind. Scary tak?












Tangan aku macam Popeye kat sini.




TYI: Tak :P. But YOU should be scared though.

Supertall: Apehal lak?











Muka dia ni memang licin, tak pernah berjerawat.
Tapi tahi lalat ada hampir seribu.




TYI: Because I actually love you more than I actually do show you.
Nanti you ingat I sangat gila sebab gilakan sangat you.











Eyebag yang tidak dapat diselamatkan.
Banyak sangat tengok Heroes punya pasal.




Supertall: Yelah tu, bodek nombor satu. Nak apa lagi ni?












Bolehkah boyfriend berkulit jauh lebih licin dari girlfriendnya?




;)


If you fail to see the point of this entry,
I was obviously merely toying with my new camera's Color Accent feature
which is sooooooooooo cool, why lah I only discover IXUS now..




















Terima kasih Atilia kerana menghadiahkan t-shirt ini
kepada Supertall saya. I love him too. I really do.




And yes,
I call this hairy and Supertall creature 'monyet' most of the time.

Saya juga selalu pukul-pukul dia dan selalu buat-buat marah.
Bila dia tak jugak marah, saya YANG merajuk.
Dia jugak yang kena marah. Dia jugak yang pujuk saya.

Padahal saya yang panggil dia monyet, pukul dia dan marah dia.

Cinta itu (membuat saya) gila.

The Day Only Pretty Girls Get Married

Dear Diary,

I always always always ask (style Carrie Bradshaw tulis column),
'why are all brides always so beautiful OR only beautiful girls get to be brides?'

Sometime last week, I attended my best friend's brother wedding
and it felt more than an 'abang-kawan-punya-wedding'
as the brother slash the groom was the catalyst
that hooked me and Supertall together, a year ago.

There, I witnessed
(one of, since my other bestfriends, Asma & Juliana, masa kahwin pun sangat-sangat cantik!)
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.

Isn't she like, the prettiest girl you've ever seen?

Mr. & Mrs. Bert




































(all photos of bride and broom are from the bride's Facebook,
most of them are by Saiful Nang himself & his Candid Syndrome)




Since the bride is half-Pakistani, the pre-wedding rituals were extensive!
Her Mehndi Night (Malam Berinai) was almost out of a Bollywood movie!

1. MEHNDI NIGHT











Kami yang bersiap sakan menepati tema Bollywood


















Bersama adik-adik perempuan Abang Bert, Tasha dan Nina.
Oh, kami bertiga sama-sama bersekolah di STF, terima kasih.

















We were each other's first friend in STF.
Masa kat sekolah, kalau bergaduh, main simbah-simbah air teh kat tudung.
Dah besar ni, masih selalu bergaduh tapi main bakar-bakar extension rambut, KIDDING!










The disguised groom and the Supertall.
The (at that time, to-be) groom was not even supposed to be there,
so the to-be's relatives were actually playing guessing game of
which one of these boys is actually the future husband.











M. Nasir who is Abang Bert's uncle sang Raikan Cinta for them.
Terlalu meaningful OK? Kami anak-anak dara bersuka ria berbhangra to M. Nasir's song atas pentas.




2. NIKAH NIGHT












Gadis-gadis dulang


















Mekap masing-masing masa ni dah cair, dulang berat!














Lepas tau bukan nikah dalam masjid,
tudung semua terbang.


















Ni gambar 'di samping Supertall di samping sampingnya'.




3. RECEPTION NIGHT















Useless fact, Tasha dan Nina dua-dua hire personal make-up artist untuk malam tu OK? IMHO, their make-up yang dibuat sendiri for the previous two nights were so much better!


















Rasa macam ambik gambar dengan Kris Dayanti!



















Kris Dayanti yang mata hijau matching dengan hijau baju, tak tahan!












The groom's extemded family.
Tasha kata aku pun kira family apa, aaaahh.. so sweet!



I shed tears at their reception (no surprise there) TWICE, as the groom's sister sang Martina McBride's Destiny beautifully for her brother and new sister, and during the bride's father's speech that if I can paraphrase,

"My parents were married for 55 years before my dad passed away a year ago. I still remember witnessing their fights even after being married for so long. I believe the recipe to a happy marriage is to give and take. To fight and make up. For Bert & Nas and all other young couples, do not make a big deal of small fights as no two persons are the same."

Although celebrities and friends' divorces do worry me,
I still buy loving couples and great love stories.

Whileeeeeeeeeeee we are at it, ahemmm..
the Mehndi Night was extra sepcial for me and Supertall too
as that very night was our first anniversary night.

















Si Superpendek and Superpanjang


















I melt everytime he smiles



And if you do have more questions
other than 'who cares it's your anniversary',
let me prepare the expected ones for you:

1. Baju-baju korang cantiklah! Beli kat mana?

Nina & Tasha punya baju (yang sangat cantik OK?), believe it or not, beli off-the-rack kat Bandung.
Baju Ninie yang takde size beli siap ni, ditempah dari Syomir Izwa.















2. Adik-adik Bert yang cantik-cantik tu, dah berpunya ke?

The groom's sisters are still single and very available.















Saper nak aku jadik catalyst pulak,
sila hantar CV berserta gambar terbaru.




3. Cik Ninie pulak, bila nak kahwin?

Saya tak cantik (bila tak mekap.
Although, macam lepas mekap, cantik sangat lah kan).














Makanya bila confident tak mekap pun cantik,
berani bangun tidur sebelah laki tanpa mekap,
baru lah kahwin, KOT.




Selamat pengantin baru Abang Bert & Kak Nas.
Jarang jumpa pasangan pengantin terlalu cantik macam you berdua
(juga jarang ada abang kawan yang suka belanja kita karaoke, he hee..)

Insyaallah kalau ada lebih rezeki bila-bila nanti saya dan Supertall
melawat anda berdua di Dublin ye?
