You Marry The One You Can't Live Without

Just finished a 2 day contract-negotiation meeting. It's now a few minutes before my office hours ends. Probably going home on time today. Not in the mood to do any work although the files have been piling up since last week. And the thing that made me lost my mood to work even more is the return of the "file" that took up 2 months of last year and another month early this year. I HATE this "file". The other party is a foreign company and i find that companies from this particular country (and especially this particular company) have been the hardest to handle. They need interpreters and it just made the whole thing harder as i'm not really confident with the interpreter's english. And they tend to complicate things. haish. They are asking for another supplementary agreement. Berapa banyak dah supplementary agreement just for 1 contract. Gila. I'm going to ignore that "file", for now atleast.

So since I'm in the mood to go home early today, I'm not going to start a fresh work. I've done all the work that I need to finish today. While waiting for my office hours to officially end, I thought I'd write about why I chose the particular daisypath ticker for the countdown to my wedding. I know so random right.

To start off, I can't believe it's 8 months and 4 days until the big day! I thought I had a year to plan, strategise and prepare for the day. I can't believe I've already lost 4 months! This is due to procrastinating and non-co-operation from the main financier (bapak). We needed his involvement in the initial stages so that we can set the budget, the venue and the date, which are the most important aspects of the wedding which needs to be confirmed as early as possible. These three things are co-related because the budget will determine the venue, and since venues are usually fully booked as early as a year before the actual date (unless you do it at home), the availability of the venue would determine the date. So, alas, after much pursuit, we've confirmed all three. Yeay.

So, back to the wedding ticker. I chose the background path because we plan to go to Krabi for our honeymoon :) Actually, our first choice would be Maldives, but that is still under works and would be contingent on certain "happenings". Keeping my fingers crossed. So, either way, it would be a tropical island honeymoon, hence the background path :) Lame tak? Ahahahah.

And of all the cartoon bride and groom that they provide, the one I chose is more me and Aliff. There was this one where the bride was skipping and the groom was wearing a top hat and holding a love shaped baloon. I can imagine me skipping, (though not in a wedding dress) but I can NEVER imagine Aliff wearing a top hat and holding a love shaped baloon on our wedding day. Ahahahaha. So not him. So yeah.

I love the quote "You don't marry the one you can live with - you marry the one you can't live without". It is sooo true. Because I am sure, with my "Monica" habits, I may not be the one that Aliff can live with. I would like to think that he is marrying me NOT because he can tolerate my living habits but because he would be miserable without them. At least for me that is what I feel. For example, when Aliff washes his dirty dish, he would place the clean plate facing upwards in the clean sink, as opposed to what normal people would do, which is placing it facing downwards. But, although I would feel annoyed and turn back the plate facing downwards, I LOVE that he does that because when I go to the sink to wash my dirty plate and I see a clean plate facing upwards in the clean sink I would know that that plate was washed by Aliff and that he actually washes his dirty plates. That somehow makes me smile :) How can you live without these little things that annoys you, but that makes u smile? You can't. Macam psycho tak? Ahahaha.

The usual countdown would say "x months until our wedding day". I prefer it to be a countdown of me being a wife. Although I absolutely love the wedding day itself and the whole shananigans that comes with it and being all bridezilla about it, the thing that I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE MOST IS TO BECOME A WIFE. and not anyone's wife, but his wife. One and only.

Kakmira said blogging can be addictive. I know that now. Hahah. This entry is proof. It's totally trivial, petty and might be insignificant, but you just have to blog about it right?
