should I unfold my love story?

as much I as I claim to be an over achiever, this is one matter I no longer think I am fit for. Therefore, I withdraw myself.

Can you tell who's the photographer and who's the poser? :p

Beach Wedding, FTW!

 beach wedding, FTW!

My mother has a land in Terengganu, and the beach is the backyard, this would be perfect! If only ... sigh! As much as I want an intimate wedding, that isn't happening! Iman and I both come from large tight knit family ... and you know what they say ... the more the merrier!

only a day and I miss him already. sigh. How to go Zanzibar or Mecca like this? have to wait until we are hand fasted  I suppose... :D

#26

I have never been this frighten... the notion alone leaves me clad in tears ...

#25

I would have succumbed to my tears if my blog had vanished!

*hugs blog*

I'd disappear and go unnoticed.

the bedroom is where my heart is at.

I reckon, a bedroom is the most sacred room of all rooms in a house. Next to the kitchen of course... oh and bathroom ;) 

or Perhaps, Mecca would be more of an ideal place.

I find myself in utmost peace when I am surrounded by the tranquil mix of gleaming white sand beaches and azure waters.  I am in dire need of a beach holiday! 

I have just the place in mind! Zanzibar, East Africa. 

I can already envisage what picturesque photos I'll be capturing …!

Junkie?

My mother reckons I look like a drug addict these days ... 

I took this 5 minutes ago, I think I look fine? 

wedding ring settings.

I came across some less flamboyant settings that I would consider as my wedding ring (if Iman likes it too of course!).

very pretty no?

I don't want to start nattering about my discontentment! but....

يا الله، يرجى احتواء غضبي، واسمحوا لي أن أكون قوية لعدم رمي قبضة بلدي في وجهها! انها لا تستحق ابن عمي!

the commencement of step 4 of 5.

I have to start surveying location, material search, wedding budget, caterers, vendors, designing the invitation cards, gift favors, theme color.. oh oh did I miss anything out?

Sailing to you.

I would love an intimate beach wedding with deco such as above, so cute!

Her 26th birthday on the 26th.

We had a meek surprise for my cousin Kyun after my event adjourned. Her sister and I had been planning to surprise her 3 weeks prior... and since we both know she loves eclairs we shaped the eclairs like a cake :D 

Happy 26th Kak kyun! May Allah S.W.T hear your hopes and dreams and bless you :) ameen.

my mind is pregnant with thoughts... how do I resolve this calamity when it is partly not any of my concern? 

I really wish I could help ...

I covet for a few more minutes of sleep but with my heart palpating and the fluttering sensation in the depths of my stomach would not allow me to do so!

The day has finally come, and there's not a written manual on what to expect or what should I do so I've been Googling materials pertaining to the affair, it's really silly, some people are born with these “instincts”. Unfortunately for me, I've always been a late bloomer, and throughout my childhood and adolescent years I have no recollection of having significance of such affair!

In fact, I’d be the first to oppose such things. I often felt such affair pretentious and somewhat staged. This was before I embarked into the world of wedding photography of course. But I supposed, as time came to past, my beliefs and perception were more full-fledged, and courting with Iman, help changed what I felt about two people committing their lives together as an entity. I saw the beauty in marriage, none of that fairytale nonsense, but the beauty of devoting yourself to each other, going through the good times and bad times and still able to make it together.

So insya’Allah it will be a smooth sailing journey for us when we reach that point of time (: ameen.

I feel so blessed when I think of you
And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You`re  my life, my friend and my strength
And I pray we`re together in Jannah"

tranquility.

Reciting du'as helps tranquil the sensation of what feels like a plethora of butterflies fluttering in the depths of my stomach! 

A medley of feelings intertwined! (nothing to worry  about Iman, all positive :))

I pray to the Almighty for tomorrow’s affair to be stellar rating (insya’Allah)! Ameen.

just one more day!

because tomorrow, we'll be many steps closer to each other insya'Allah :)

I spent the last few hours editing and sorting photos from yesterday's photo shoot. Alhamdulilah, I'm done... I hope!

une, duex, trois!

I caught a glimpse of my own reflection, simpering to my hearts content with only a few days more until the coveted day dawns upon us. Despite everything that surrounds me, I am truly blessed. ameen. 

Insya'Allah all would go stellar on the 26th of March 2011.

whoa, just finished work. Outcome: backache and two satisfied florist clients :D ( Insya'Allah!)

"Why do we say the harshest things when we are infuriated?

 

Like Susie Suh had once sang “It's easier to hate and harder to love”. It is moments like this it makes me realize that negativity easily espouse itself to each and every one of us. 

Words and actions are a powerful thing, sometimes by just saying sorry doesn’t cut it, because hurt has already been inflicted. 

Word from the wise, before you say or do anything to anyone, please consider the consequences." - Balqies Arafia

Uh, I reckon this must be said. I'm not getting married this Saturday! A lot of you have misinterpret my hints, ha-ha :) just be patient alright? Once everything on Saturday goes stellar, I would divulge my secret, insya'Allah :)

As the day draws closer, I can no longer contain my excitement! I'm like Mentos in a bottle of Coke.

I can’t blame them for not being able to decipher my trail of thoughts and actions these few weeks that had come to past. 

When everything came to a halt (momentarily, I hope!), I find myself immersed in calamities that I was oblivious to before now being part of my every day. Thus, often leaving  me unruly and emotional…

Insya'Allah we'll find a way to overcome this!
