Sights and sounds from the Office

"Its the most wonderful time of the year."

With you, I'm at ease, I'm calmer, I'm secure.
I feel comforted at the thought that there's you, whenever I need anything - be it a second opinion on what to wear to when I need you to tell me that everything's gonna be alright.

I feel so grateful that God sent you my way and that, even though you're not born Muslim, I find myself wanting to be closer to Him, partly because of you.

At the end of the day, even if this union was not meant to last in the future, I will never forget how you've helped me, how you've become such a significant part of my life, my being.

You're my better half and I've never been happier.
And I'd do all I can to make this work out because I can't see me without you.

Je t'aime.

Sights and sounds from my 23rd

I turned 23 on the 26/10.

Since Deepavali fell on that date as well, I had the privilege to celebrate it with my H.
Just like every year, he came to my place, armed with cake and a lit up candle ♥
And just like every year, he spoils me with presents (-_-")
Thank you for the all expenses paid day, the beeeeeeeeeauuuutiful Steve Madden and for all the other presents that I'm enjoying as we speak, love.

Mum and Dad got me my first ever train case (I'm still quite obsessed with the idea that I even own one)! They definitely know their daughter.

The brother and girlfriend got me a huge bottle of Lovestruck by Vera Wang. I adore the scent and am in love with its gorgeous tulips and tulled covered cap.
Too pretty for words!

Thank you all for the well wishes, prayers and everything else under the sun!
I'm so blessed.

Sights and sounds from Rain's 23rd

Rain turned 23 on the 1st of October.

I sincerely hope you liked the presents I chose for you.

I can't imagine life without you harping on/annoying/entertaining me on a daily basis.
Thanks for the joy and colours you bring.

Can you see the pride and joy in my father's eyes?
My not-so-little brother has finally POP-ed.

Alhamdulillah, my Syawal this year was a blessed one.

Thank you for the laughter and love.

Star of the day was of course, the most adorable baby in the world, Izyan.
I can't get my hands off him!

Ended the day after the clock struck midnight, with H's boy's at my place, where the first thing on the agenda for him and I was to get out of our raya garb and into comfier clothes.

It doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you, God.

On the twenty fourth day of the eighth month of the year two thousand eleven, my classmates and I were given all the rights, privileges and distinction to assess the benefits and awards from the title of Bachelor of Business (Marketing).

Singapore Insitute of Management-Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, graduands of class of 2011.

Syukur Ya Allah, for this generous opportunity from Him.
Without his guidance, I am lost and most unfortunate.

My utmost gratitude...

...to my parents for being there for me every step of the way, for being my backbone, my voice of reason and piecing me back together when I felt like I was going to fall apart.

...to my H, for being my rock, for answering my late night/early morning frantic phone calls, wiping my tears and bearing with my inconsistent schedules of work, schools, projects and exams. For believing in me during good and bad times, for always knowing what to say and for being by my side this entire ride. I will be there for you, come what may.
You are truly a man in my eyes. My man.

...to Rain, for supporting me, for being there when H couldn't be around, for calming me down when I hyperventilate. For being there when I need you (and for when I don't!).

... to Julie, Wai Leong, Qi Fan, Joseph and my other uni mates, in the words of a recent NTU valedictorian.. "We f**king did it!!* That really, truly sums it up :)

... and finally, to my family and friends, for your prayers, your support, your faith and your love.
