Msjbox

I know everybody is anxiously waiting for Msjbox to return to normal again. Enough messages of 'Congratulations! When can we have our Msjbox back?' tell me that girl, whatever your wedding is like, the most important thing is we need to know when we can use Msjbox! Give us our Msjbox!

Oh, all right fellas. Stay cool and calm. Chill it. I was just joking *wink*

The sad truth is, Msjbox is down because *let me try to explain as best as I could since I am not the SME (subject matter expert) here* the current bandwidth couldn't support the traffic and so the service provider has demanded for more money to, I suppose, upgrade the server *scratch my head* or whatever *must always punctuated my sentence with this term when in doubt*.

In conclusion, the Msjbox creator a.k.a. Junaidix a.k.a. my dearest Beloved *blush* (no more 'Biarlah Rahsia', the moment we posted the wedding invitation) and myself, after our wedding has diminished our accounts considerably, will not be able to resuscitate Msjbox for the moment until we top up our account again.

...

Yes *nod sadly*. I guess everyone including myself will have to wait until we manage to crawl out of poverty to pay the fees imposed by the service provider in order to get Msjbox to operate again, back to normal. Wish us luck, everyone.

In Love With The Man Who Strapped The Tong Beras To The Safety Belt

What do all newly-married couples do?

Haha! If you think I'm going to tell some juicy stories, my dears, you all are in for a big disappointment. All newly-married couples like us go shopping. Shop, shop, shop with the money given by our well-wishers.

As soon as we came back from Sarawak, the first thing we did was to buy a few items for our new house. Like that nice bathroom cabinet with a mirror to put our toothpaste / brush, facial cleanser, soap, shampoo etc. I love smart items that don't take up too much space. So I was practically in love with that cheap cabinet.

Or dry ingredients to cook up meals since our pockets dah terbakar habis. On one occasion, we went to Giant in our Cute Little Kancil (CLK again, the bigger version) to get some kitchen items and ingredients to cook nasi ayam (after all, I take seriously the advice that says 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach).

We piled everything in the trolley and then made our way back to the car. Since we bought a big tong beras to store the pack of rice, we just dumped all the small items in the big container so that it'll be easy for us to carry the groceries up to our house.

At the traffic light, the car jerked hard and my first reaction was to turn behind and catch the tong beras before it fell off, spilling the ingredients and breaking the pack of eggs inside. The least that I expect to see is the tong beras sitting demurely and happily, safely strapped to the car seatbelt at the back of the car.

'Babe, did you do that?'

Without missing a beat, he promptly replied, 'Safety first.'

And I leant back and laughed so hard at the comical look of the tong beras, and the effort my dearest husband made to make his wife cackle at it.

Maybe marriage is not so bad at all.

Half An Hour Before Giving Up The Single Status

Salam semua... akhirnya balik semula ke realiti lepas menghabiskan tiga minggu di awang-awangan, jauh dari masalah keja, dan segala perkara yang memeningkan kepala!

Ni ler gambar aku yang tengah disolekkan oleh jeng..jeng.. jeng!! Juruandam profesional dari Miri - kakanda terchenta ku! Aku suka bangat sama solekannya yang au naturale itu... Yalah, sapa la nak macam pelakon opera Cina atau sebarang opera sekalipun dengan makeup tebal satu tan yang mampu membunuh sel2 kulit pada hari berbahagia ini. Aktiviti sukarela ni dilakukan secara free (nama la sukarela kan?) memandangkan akaun sudah defisit oo...

Kos membeli kain utk buat baju nikah (+ free kain utk buat baju Melayu) = RM240 (beli masa promotion)

Kos upah buat baju nikah = RM80 (dibuat oleh seorang tukang jahit berbangsa Cina kat Wangsa Maju)

Tudung = free (hadiah oleh kakanda terchenta)

Selendang = .... (tertinggal di KL, uwaaa!!! Kos selendang, RM70)

Kasut matching = free (hadiah dari ahem2x terchenta)

Kos keseluruhan = RM390 (aduss, terbakar poket!)

Adapun kisahnya, rupa2nya kami dinikahkan secara sukarela pada hari Jumaat. Sungguh berkat sekali hari yang dipilih utk kami tu, iaitu Penghulu segala hari. Vwah2x! Vogue de vast sekali!

Akibatnya, poket aku terbakar sekali lagi sewa baju utk majlis keesokan harinya. Takkan nak pakai baju yg dah berbau achemm kan? Apa? Lepas sejam berpeluh2 menghadap tok kadi korang kata baju tak berbau achemmm?? Hmm.. Rupa2nya bakal suamiku yang terchenta pakai Rexona deodorant. Kalau aku tau awal2, tak payah la nak cari baju spare.

Baju sewa (pakaian tradisional Melanau kerana aku ialah perempuan Melanau sejati) = RM150 (termasuk kasut, aksesori kepala & barang kemas dan selendang putih utk menggantikan selendang aku yang tertinggal di KL)

Nasib baik terbakar sket2 je

Apakah perasaan aku masa diijabkabulkan?

Soklan bonus. Hmm... Aku takde perasaan sangat sebenarnya. Tak de la rasa macam nak melonjak2 ke, nak melompat2 ke atau nak menangis penuh kegembiraan dan dengan anggunnya sekalipun. Cuma rasa sebak bila tengok mak ngan ayah aku menitiskan air mata. Lebih2 lagi mak aku. Baru je melabuhkan punggung atas karpet di belakang ahem2x yg dok atas bantal bersarung baldu tu, dia dah bergenangan air mata. Maka, aku tak sempat la nak melayan emosi sebab nak pujuk mak aku.

Selepas tu?

Lepas tu aku rasa bersyukur sebab dapat kawen dgn kekasih pertama dan terakhir lepas makan mee Cintan selama dua tahun. Dan alhamdulillah, jodoh aku ialah seorang yang memenuhi ciri2 yang aku cari - beriman, tinggi ilmu agama, sederhana, pandai buat lawak, sangat mengasihi aku dan sungguh encem di mata aku (awww...)

Semoga perkahwinan ini diberkati Allah, bahagia berkekalan di dunia dan akhirat.

Sangat memorable kerana...

Majlis kami ialah majlis perkahwinan pertama diadakan di rumah kampung dalam keluarga aku. Sebelum ni, semua anak atok aku (Pak Yeng) termasuk la mak bapak aku kawen di tempat lain. Kuching la, Sibu la, Bintulu la. Maka Pak Yeng dengan murah hatinya menanggung sebahagian dari perbelanjaan majlis manakala sebahagian lagi ditanggung oleh ahem2 yang terchenta. Lembu korban tok sah citer la. Dua ekor korban aqiqah dan seekor je yang dibayar sepenuhnya. Habis tak tinggal tulang, apa lagi ekornya (aku suka sup ekor, selingan semata2).

Paling best sebab dapat pakai baju Melanau, dari Latif Collection di Mukah. So Amy, kalau ko mok pakei baju Melanau hari ko kawen kelak, gi jak rah Mukah ya kat Latif Collection. Murah gik ya (iklan free).

Sangat best jadi orang Sarawak sebab...

Senang giler la isi borang nak kawen. Dah la sekeping je, tanpa interbiu, ujian darah dan air kencing mahupun yang sewaktu dengannya. Dan yang the ultimate la ialah lafaz akad nyer yg sempoi - 'Aku terima nikahnya dengan mahar yang tersebut.'

Maka dengan sahnya aku menjadi kekasihnya seumur hidup.

My Dream Guy(s)

A few years ago, I once dreamed a weird dream.

I was chased by a few enemies without faces, and terrified, I ran and ran until I came to a wide crevice with never-ending bottom. I stood at the edge, unsure of what I had to do while the enemies were getting nearer.

I looked across the other side and there was a guy who stand there. A guy whose face I couldn't see properly. In desperation, I cried out to him, 'Help me.'

He extended his hand and told me, 'Jump across. I will catch you.'

I looked down at the bottomless pit in fear. I couldn't make it. I wouldn't be able to make it.

'I'll fall.'

'You won't. Trust me. I will catch you.'

I sensed the enemies were coming to kill me so I jumped and reached out for his hand. Just as he promised, he caught my hands and I landed safely to the other side. To safety.

Then I woke up.

A few more years later, I dreamed that I was strolling in an empty block of classroom. Upon reaching to one empty room, I heard somebody playing a beautiful haunting music. I went in and there was a guy who played the music on a grand piano. I stood beside him and he smiled.

'I am playing this song for you.'

And not too long after that dream, there was another dream of which this country was taken over by communists and they were hunting me down because I was a rebel. I tried to hide everywhere but they were always hot on my heels. To my frustration, everyone was reluctant to help me. Then a stranger came to my rescue and told me to hide in his car. When the communist checked his car, he protected me so convincingly that the communist let his car pass by. I was so relieved that I had managed to escape from the firing squad.

To my dearest husband-to-be, I hope the faceless guys in my dreams are you and you will be my saviour, my delight, my protector and my lover for as long as I live. I hope you will cherish me and care for me with tender, loving care. Em.. Jangan marah-marah bila orang selalu lambat ye, terimalah kelemahan orang ni seadanya sebab lepas ni awak akan sentiasa kena tunggu orang ;) Orang akan cuba untuk terima kelemahan awak juga.

P/S: I love you, husband-to-be.
