Hello Again. I'm Still Here.

September 2025 has ended... told you to wake me up when September ended so many years ago. 

You didn't. 

But I'm awake. 

Alive. 

Well. 

... and probably the best I've ever been. 

I've still been writing all these years, just that I took an analog direction. Fiddling with pens and inks, always ever so eager to fill paper with pages of writing. The way ink absorbs into my journal from my fountain pen nibs and the sound of flipping through crinkly papers overflowing with ink in a myriad of colours just gives me a different thrill altogether.

To be honest, I needed that physical connection-- the non-digital kind. The kind that allows me to focus on something that brings me absolute joy.

Maybe someday I'll share.

This is just to say, hello again. 

I'm still here.

My Little Ayra

*tiup habuk*

Haha so many janji manis ditaburkan untuk update blog ini tapi apa pun takdak!

Anyways, I'm now a proud mother to a bouncing baby girl whom we named simply Ayra.

Ayra - yang dihormati.

Short and simple. She is now a week short of turning 4 months and currently the center of my universe.

Let me just share you some pictures if my princess.

December 2012...

How I have abandoned thee my dearest blog! My last entry was in January and now it has been almost a year since! 

I am now married and expecting my lil bundle of joy in January. It doesn't feel so long since my wedding but it really has been a while and I have yet to share my pictures. So here's a couple from my nikah and reception. Will try and upload more some time later.

Our nikah ceremony.

It has been a whole new, wonderful journey so far. Sure it takes some adapting but it hasn't been all that hard especially when your other half is very accommodating and understands that it's new for the both of you.

My reception.

Remember how I mentioned about saving up and doing up our new home? Well that has to take a serious backseat for now since the baby is coming in and we've had to readjust our financial priorities. Most of it has gone into buying baby stuff -- which is seriously addictive!

We bought a beautiful red Aprica stroller, super sturdy yet lightweight and easy to stow away, reminiscent of the stroller I had when I was a baby. It's atrocious how much baby strollers cost these days, it can go up to 5k!

My pregnancy has been smooth sailing and wonderful so far, I'm so grateful and blessed. I know I'll miss it once it's over. I can't wait to start 2013, it will definitely be different with the much awaited future addition to our little family.

Me at a lil over 7 months =)

Hope I can squeeze in another entry before I deliver! =p

Engagement Pictures

Hello 2012!

I can't believe it's 2012. Time is flying and it seems just like yesterday that I got engaged. As the months to our wedding is approaching, I'm actually getting very nervous. So many things to be done and with him only back once a month, we try and squeeze time to get all the major preparations ready.

Yesterday we went to see the house. All the neighbours have moved in so the neighbourhood isn't as bare it used to be. I'm actually more excited in decorating the house than getting wedding prep in order for some reason. I already have a vague idea on how I'd like to have it done (I know I sound very possessive of the whole home decor bit but he's leaving it all to me so yayyy!). I can already imagine coming home to a soothing combo of neutral/whites and pops of pastel turquoise.

Cosy and warm.

Neutrals and whites with hints of turquoise.

Blue-grey would work wonders too. I'm not sure that's even a colour but I don't know how else to describe it.

Gorgeous!

How pretty is that?

Very serene but I would add some colours.

Exquisite, just the right shades of grey without making the room too dark. I think it'd look gorgeous with pops of yellows to brighten it up a tad more!

I hope to minimize cost on this home project later. I've been scouting for places for good deals at a fraction of the price so we'll see how that goes. I told him how fun it'd be if we could paint the house together but then we both know how it'll all go down; him painting most of it with me finding a million excuses not to.

For now however, the home decor project needs to take a backseat as we focus on what needs to get done first for the big day.

Happy New Year people and have an awesome 2012!
