Restarting Once Again

Dear bloggy,

I didn't realise how long I have not posted, and damn has it been ages... and a waste.. and I actually had several drafts which I didn't update and publish.. LOL!

There is a lot I could have posted but I didn't..

And it has been more than 2 years since I last posted..

So, updates are upcoming and it will be as brief and I won't check 'cos I am a procrastinator...

1. I am a Mrs now!
2. I am going to 2 years in a job that I love, albeit the numerous tasks I have are recently making me stressed.. (I will go more into detail later..)
3. I will be getting my hommmeee in about.. a month? =)))
4. My courier business is picking up so, Alhamdulillah!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On 06/08/16, we solemnized our marriage and had the wedding reception in a humble affair at the MPH and void deck for my side, and at the multi-purpose hall for his side..

I was glad and grateful that our wedding went smoothly with the careful planning and allocating of tasks to reliable and responsible Maid-Of-Honour plus bridesmaids and Bestman with the groomsmen. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how my MOH, which is my close friend kept me updated and reassured that all is going smoothly, Alhamdulillah.. (Of course, she is OCD, so she has to make it as perfect as she can.. heh!) And really, my family were awesome.. they tirelessly helped me out and calmed me down when I was on the verge of becoming a bridezilla ('cos I was overthinking too much..)

So before anyone asked me which wedding vendors I engaged.. wait hor... it's coming!

1. Wedding Catering and Deco (full package inclusive of DJ): Cahaya Nanie Wedding Services (hers) and aisey.. i forgot the catering name, 'cos it's his SIL's uncle's company.. and Nizera Wedding Services (his deco)

2. Bridal: Sanggar Mustika Bridal (of course with Kak Andi, Abg Riyan and Sis Riya as my MUA on that day..)

Oh.. but, but.. I also engaged a freelance MUA, Sis Nurwaty Yazid for my nikah make-up as my wedding was over the weekend..

3. Henna: Personal Friend

4. Kompang: Akrab Kompang Services ('cos he insists that he only wants this, and also 'cos my SIL sponsored this. HEH)

5. Car: Rented from.. I dunnoe eh.. I only know it is there.. 'cos he decided on this.. =P)

6. Photography: Sanbyoshi, taken by Farnsharkieboy and Helmi Mokish (hmm.. 'cos its his own cuzzin and he works with the bridal, so... I was more than happy to engage the,.. 'cos to me lah, it's better when Bridal and Photographer have worked together so there would be lesser risks of miscommunication.. YougetwhatImean?

7. Wedding doorgifts: Butter cookies bought from Radha Exports (Order must be more than $1000 worth before they took my order..so you imagine lah the number of boxes I had left at the end of my majlis.. LOL) and sent direct to the MPH, 'cos I very the malas to put them at my place 'cos the MPH is opposite my home and need to cross the road to get to it... You know, more hassle for me??

Hmm.. Did I miss anything out? If I have, do beep me alright?

And.. now, some might ask, what about the dulang items. etc2!

1. Rings: Taka Jewellery (hers) and Meyson Jewellery (his)
2. Shoes: Laces by Nanie (hers) and shitIforgotthebrand for his.. but we bought it at a John Little Warehouse Sale
3. Clothes: Hana (hers) and Takashimaya (his)
4. Her Bag: Guess bag (bought by in-laws from Aus)
5. His Wallet and Belt: Bought separately

And I cannot remember the other item.. LOL.. but I had cakes, fruits, hamper.. (the usual add-on dulangs.. HEH)

Anyway, dulangs on my side was made by my MOH and bridesmaids and me, simple yet elegant.. =)) while his dulangs were made by SIL. =)

As you can see, my wedding was a collective effort, family and friends pitched in, which helped in reducing my costs, which I really appreciate, 'cos when I planned for this wedding, it would be to have a clean slate when we get married, ie: no loans, no money owed, etc.. and Alhamdulillah, I got my dream wedding and achieved my end goal..

For those thinking, what about my honeymoon?
I went for a well-deserved trip to Batam for 5 days. BATAM only? Well.. 'cos, I was only able to take those few days off as I was still studying.. Waiiit.. WHAT?

Studying?

Yeah.. I was.. so.. on to my next update:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My new work.

I am a diploma certified Early Childhood Educator, aka Preschool Teacher. HEH!

So, remember about me quitting my job(s)? in previous posts?

Yeah.

I firstly quit my job as an admin assistant back in March 2015. Took up a job in MOHH as an admin executive for just 6 months before the stress of the work and some personal issue made me quit in Oct 2015.

I then took up the job offer as an infantcarer PLUS, the opportunity to take up Diploma in Early Childhood (Childcare).

So, it happened the whole of 2016 which, clashes with my wedding.. and 'cos I can't be absent with the reason I got married (LOL!) I just took a short honeymoon trip.. with the hopes of going for a further trip in the future.. (Which hasn't happened yet..)

And as of 2017, I was transferred and became the proud teacher of 11 5 year olds.

It was a struggle 'cos I am to grad in 2017 but I had to juggle with having my own class to teach.. but Alhamdulillah.. it is going good, I guess.. heh..

I will update more about work, when I have the time, ya..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Next.. to the 3rd update..

We have gotten the email that our house is completed and we will be able to get the key by November 2017! WOOHOO!

So, well.. me and hubs are busy with... reno plans etc!

I will also further update about our reno journey alright.. heh..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I know, most do not know about it, but me and bro started up a courier business back in 2013.. and currently it has finally picked up 'cos I managed to get one admin to handle all enquiries and jobs.. so Insha'Allah it will be registered soon with some major changes in the works..

Pray for me, ya.. I need it.. to stay balance.. =)

That is all, for now..

'cos I need to settle some major errands..

Till then,
Diana *twinkles signing out..
