ouch my tooth!

alhamdulillah.
i've been through the extraction for my lower left widsom tooth.
and now i find it's weird to swallow my saliva and open my mouth.
the pain is manageable however it is an uneasy feeling.
overall, the procedure was alright,
just a little scary since it was my first time.

during the procedure,
i felt tears flowing from my left eye even though it was shut.
it wasn't because of pain since half of my mouth is numb.
perhaps it was due to being frighten.
i can feel the doctor, wait surgeon, used forced to pull the tooth out.
haha.

okay,
i wouldn't want to scare off my readers who hasn't done it yet.
it was fine.
=)

just that it has a lot of waitingggggg.
my appointment was at 10am but it just started at 11.15am.
i had to wear some 'plastics' over my shoes, perhaps a shoecover. a head cover and a robe.
please excuse me for my lack of vocabulary to describe the above.
haha.
it was just to ensure that the environment is sterile, free of germs.

haiyamak!
now it's hard for me to laugh now!
i can't laugh properly,
sadness!

i didn't managed to attend the partner's work event.
because once i let my head rest on the pillow,
i'm off to dreamland.
and the pain was increasing.
but i'm glad to know from the partner that it went on smoothly.
well done honey and the team!

the partner's parents will be coming soon to visit me.
=)

ok bye!

honey,
sounds familiar?

Wednesday, October 29

early morning alarm.

i must say that i didn't have a peaceful sleep,
i kept waking up to adjust the pillow and my sleeping positions.
as much as i tried to sleep without waking up,
i can't.
maybe i slept way tooooooo much in the day.

i remember i had a dream,
but right now i've forgetten about it.
all i know i was awoken by birds.
yes,
crow sounding birds.
i was frozen in my bed when i heard them.
i was frightened by the loud noises they made.
i hope it was birds that i heard not some other unknown species.
my mind was filled with ghostly story, etc, etc.
when my phone alarm went off,
i was frantic thinking that the birds will heard it too and divert their attention to me.
that was how paranoid and scared i was.
luckily,
i had fatin beside me who was sleeping peacefully.
even though i am 21, it's countable on how many occasion that i slept alone.
most of the time that i slept alone would be in the day.

i called the partner who was already up to ensure that he is really up,
me: honey, i'm scared.
him: why honey?
me: because there are birds that are making loud noises which sound like crows and i hope they are really birds.
him: oh honey, why are you like me?
me: huh honey? what do you mean?
him: earlier when i woke up, i was scared also. i heard of the birds too and i was thinking of ghostly stuffs. alah honey, nothing lah. just don't think so much.
me: haha. alright honey.

so it was funny how the both of us experienced the same things when we woke up.
coincident or telepathy?

apart from this,
we too share the same fear.
oh wait,
i think it's phobia already.
the both of us have phobia of animals,
that includes cats.
whenever we are at a coffeeshop,
we would check our surroundings and warn the other if there's a cat approaching.
and the partner will stomp his leg to scare off the cat while i would sit cross legged on the chair.
the both of us just don't dare to touch anything furry.
it's like eeeeeeeeeeeee.....
we can just tremble.
i brought up a topic.
me: honey, what if our children loves animals?
him: i will make sure that they won't have any pets except fishes.
me: what if they are married and there are cats at their house?
him: just ask them to come over our house instead of us going to theirs.
haha!
we've planned.

recalling yesterday,
i just remember there was a phone call and i picked it up.
it was the partner's mom who asked for mom.
so they were on the phone chatting about grandma and the topic about the partner and i came up.

nothing important though.
just those catching up stuffs.
they would call one another up once a while and update one another.
i am grateful that they have a healthy relationship.
because i believe our families will make an impact on our marriage,
either in a good or bad way.
looking at it now,
it seems to be a good influence.
nothing beats the feeling to know that both parties love the both of us like their own.
syukur alhamdullilah.

his mom: nurul, so ada orang ikut you when you go for the surgery? (nurul, is there anyone who is accompanying you for the surgery?)
me: agaknya lah cik. (i think so cik)
his mom: kalau takde, pakcik boleh temankan. tak salah apa, bapa temankan anak. (if don't have, pakcik (refering to the partner dad) can accompany you. nothing's wrong if a father accompany the child)
me: haha. ye cik, nanti saya beritahu. (haha. yes cik, i'll let you know again.)
when the partner heard the conversation between me and his mom,
he was already giving me faces indicating 'you're lucky'.

yes,
it seems like my luck has changed eversince i met the partner.
like a star shining upon me.
and i am always grateful for that.

i am a happy and lucky girl.
and i am always thankful to the Almighty for that.
for giving me a chance to experience it.

honey,
it is always hard to be apart because you bring excitement to my life.
like it's extra fun and enjoyable to have you around.
i love you!

early night!

the partner is already in dreamland.
and i'll join him in a while,
since school starts at 8 in the morning,
let's hope i will go out early so that i can avoid the morning madness/rush hour.


anyway,
i will be going for wisdom tooth extraction on friday morning.
and the partner's dad can help to accompany me.
well,
i think i prefer to go alone,
cause i feel bad to let him wait while i go through the surgery.

i feel not nice, guilty and troublesome.
so i rather go alone without having to feel uneasy.
let's hope i'll get to go for the partner's event at night.
: )
if you are wondering why the partner can't accompany me,

it's because he has a work event to take care,
which he cannot excuse himself.
of course initially, i was disappointed knowing he can't follow,
but i have to understand his situation.
i know if he can, he would have accompany and take care of me.
understanding is important in the subject of love.

1 more day will soon pass and i will get to meet the partner!
for the workshop.
this time,
the topic is expectations.
wooooo.

they say,
expect the unexpected.
isn't that a 'smart' way to replace
do not expect at all?
so,
to conclude,
expect the unexpected = do not expect at all

i gtg hit the sack!

honey,
time without you is just ordinary,
it is you who makes it special.

Monday, October 27

time with the partner.

this happened yesterday,
in the picture below,
it just show that the television is being switched on.

however if you squint your eyes closer,
you will get to see people lying down watching the tv.
it was my cousins, sisters and the partner all comfortable watching tv.
all 7 of us slacking and throwing our opinions at the shows.
we managed to watch a ghost story as well,
haha!
it was funny how the 7 of us keep covering our eyes when the ghost is coming out.
the adults excluding the partner and i went to malaysia for visiting,
so it seems like the both of us were babysitting the youngsters.

and today,
happy deepavali!
to those readers who are celebrating it.
who are not,
happy holiday!

the partner and i did our last raya visiting for this year today,
to his soccer friend open house.
afterwhich the partner rests and took a nap over at my house.
and we played monopoly.
=)
happy lah!
buying the simpson's monorail stops and paying each other.
we had home cooked dinner and durians and watched the amazing race together.
i'm a happy girl!

seriously,
it seems like it's not enough for us to see each other for one day.
if only we could,
we wish to see one another every single day.
that is why we've been seeing one another since thursday,
5 consequent days.
few more years till we get to do that.
seeing each other every day without having to travel back home.
insyaallah.

the both of us have a rough guide when is the time to get married.
so my aim when i've start working is to s-a-v-e!

so right now,
as a couple,
we are taking the opportunity to learn more about one another,
because we can never stop learning about each other,
just like as an individual we discover new things about ourselves.
this is the time when we prepare one another, and show the true side of ourselves.
so that the partner nor i will be shocked once we got married.

of course,
it is hard to avoid disagreements,
we have our sour period at times.
but above all,
we have more happy lala time to sad grumpy moments.
we made use of disagreements as a lesson to be learn.
to make us a better lover and partner.

one thing that's for certain,
we never want to lose each other.
the both of us want to grow old with each other by the side,
to help one another in the kitchen to cook up some dishes,
travel together,
to have each other support when going through hardships.
to stroll along the beaches,
scissors paper stone with one another and winner gets to control the remote and drive the car,
eating ice cream on the couch while watching tv,
and so many things to do together!

sweetheart,
i love you.
and i love caressing that hair of yours.
next time i will put you to sleep.
haha!
i miss you already.

Sunday, October 26

free on thoughts.

get ready for a whole range of pictures and updates!

since thursday evening,
i've not been touching my books or read any of the notes.
i'm free! (for the time being, wait... i believe i'm free even though exams is next month)


both the partner and i watched tropic thunder.
it was lame and hilarious!
we had a fun time laughing along with the others in the cinema.

you will laugh watching it!

afterwhich we went over his house to pick up the car so he can send me home.


and he asked me to drive it in the rainy weather.

it was good because it helps me to refresh on my manual skills.
it was a smooth journey!

on friday,
i had a date with the 3 ladies!
we catch up on stuffs we missed out.
laughed at/with one another!


and on saturday,
mom woke me up to bring me out together with mama in and atiqah.
we walked and walked till we dined in swensens.

atiqah amazed at the dry ice effect.




we had our main course and of course dessert!
topless 5 filled with sticky chewy chocolate!



the 2 sisters digging in!

i did had a fun time hanging out with mom and mama in!

and in the afternoon,
i met up with my poly classmates for raya outing!
well,
only me and estya are the only malays.
so we visited only 2 houses.
it was a good catching up session to know what each of us are up to.





we even had dessert over at estya's place.


and we head over my place and slacked.


late night,
shikin and i head out.
all of because of suliza's 22nd!



while waiting for the time to strike 12,
we killed time by snapping pictures!
we dressed up for this occasion okay!

so must make sure that it's worth it.
=)










and a while later,
the partner came.
=)


the blowing of candles.


the sabotage birthday girl together with shikin and me.


the partner blinded by the flash.
;P


we weren't full so the 3 of us head to lau pa sat for supper!
both the partner and i were driving our cars (well, our parents cars).
so i had to follow up with the partner's speed.

while we had to stop for the red light,
his car in front of me,
i did a silly dance in my car for him to see!
haha!
and shikin might think that i'm crazy!
oh wait!
she already knows that i am crazy!

happy 22nd birthday to both suliza and nazierah!
yes,
the both of them share the same birthdate!
26 oct 1986

may your life are filled with happiness!

honey,
we both had a long day,
i know you are tired,
don't deny it.
but you still make a point to see me.
thank you honey.
you do know while we were standing on the sand and talking closely to one another,
i have the urge to just hug you and breathe in your scent.
i love you.

done with it.

i hate the peak hours!
for today,
i experienced an unpleasant moment in the mrt.
people were pushing me outwards until i have to grab someone's shoulder to keep my balance and i felt the my whole body was spinning and i lost control of it.
it was awful.
well,
you can blame me for not going out of the train and let the passengers alight.
let's be fair,
let me share my part of the story.
the reason that i didn't want to go out was because there were already many people on the platform waiting to come into the train.
if i were to go out,
i have to move to the side,
but at the side there were already people queueing up, so if i were to go out and move to the side, i would have to squeeze amongst those people.
so i decided to stay in the train and move inwards.
but people were pushing against my flow of direction.
at that moment,
i was really angry,
i think my face did show how unhappy i was.

i cooled down when i was boarding the bus because the female bus driver smiled at me.
which i smiled back.
thank you auntie.

so now....
i'm trying to forget the stupid mrt incidence.
say hello to unstressful time!
i've done with the 2 essays.

1 more to go which is due next 2 weeks.
so now for the time being
breathe!!! & enjoy!

and dad's getting ben & jerry ice cream!
woooo!

i think there's a date with the partner tomorrow.
=)
yipee!

now now now!
i want to eat my ben & jerry!

Monday, October 20

him.

i still have an essay that is due on wednesday which i haven't even start yet.
call me silly.
instead of cracking my brain on the essay,
i'm thinking of the partner and blogging about him.

while i was out with him on sunday,
i had a chance to just look at the partner and stare at him while he was choosing the soccer boots,
and asked myself,
how do i developed feelings for him,
how do we come so far,
why do i love him,
those questions were racing in my mind.
but all of those questions were answered when i just stared at him.
when i looked at him,
happy feelings engulfed me.
i felt my heart smiling.
i took a long good look at him and i'm blessed.
how could i not love him?

right now,
while i was visualizing what i saw yesterday,
my eyes feels watery.
i really do love him.

what i feel is something indescribable but one thing for sure is that it's beautiful.
i really have to do this often,
because it made realised how much the partner has done, sacrifice and willing to go for me.
most importantly,
it made me realised how much the partner loves me.
i have to admit that i've been taking him for granted.

what's in my mind now is the thought of us when we were newly dating and he brought me together with his cousins to a circus.
where there was a clown and nice entertainment.
i think it was at the spot where the dhl balloon is now.
in the car,
his cousins and me was teasing him and telling one another jokes.
the partner and i were still shy back then.
when our eyes met one another,
we smiled.
it was funny and sweet recalling when we first started going out.

i like the way his eyes become small and the sound he made when he laughed.
i adore the way when he tried to make me smile when i'm down.
throughout the years i'm with him,
i learnt so much more about him.



sweetheart,
i have so many thanks to thank you.
but it is never enough.
because you make me experience something priceless in life.
and baby,
it's a joy loving you.

Sunday, October 19

lovely fun sunday!

i'm exhausted!
it has been a very long good sunday.

last night,
i've already set an alarm at 9.30am thinking that it was a nice timing to wake up and make my way to the partner's house.
however at 7.15am, i've received a call from the partner,
asking me where i am.
i didn't jolt out of bed because i didn't have enough energy to do so.
not enough sleep.

what was i doing there?
basically,
the partner's relatives from malaysia come over for raya visiting,
so the partner's family played host cum tour guide.

after visiting the first house,
we took a break at the east coast park.


the some of them.


we past by esplanade, singapore flyer, cdb area, vivocity before reaching another relative house.
lastly,
we visited the partner's grandparent's house.

afterwhich,
the partner was supposed to have soccer.
but it was cancelled since it was raining throughout singapore.

so the partner and i jalan-jalan,
laugh-laugh,
explore-explore new toys shops,
see-see shops,
disturb-disturb
and had fun!

however this frog wasn't happy because it can't burp.


we then head to look-look for his soccer boots.

and we eat-eat at the disney naturally.


while indulging in our food,
we also set our eyes on the screen.
cinderella.

the partner too concentrated watching it.


honey,
i want to write a nice something for you.
but i'm too sleepy hun.
thanks for the lovely fun sunday!
i love you!

Saturday, October 18

know

we both know,

how much we love one another,
and how much we need the other.

you know, i know,
how deep is our love.
and the special connection that we share,

we know what we want,
to always be happy in each other company.

honey,
is there ever a limit in love?
because you taught me there's none.
it's infinity.

love and conflict

yesterday the partner and i learnt a very useful lesson about conflicts.
well,
all relationships are not conflict-free.
so might as well the both of us deal with it wisely.


what we learnt was,
it's not about who has to win in the argument,
but it's how the both of us win in dealing with the conflict.
in short,
it's not atirah vs mutalib.
but instead,
it's atirah&mutalib vs the problem.
see the difference?
and so yesterday,
the both of us have an informal promise on how we are suppose to deal with the upcoming conflicts.
and we will try our very best to have the wish (i wish to be ........... during the conflict, etc) to be reality.
i know the both of us want this relationship to last and also make one another happier.


oh yes,
before we start the lesson,
we were to write down some qualities of our partner in which we respect.
and i laughed seeing the partner's answer.
one of it was nonsensical.
he respect me becasuse i am nonsensical.
yes,
i have to agree that i tend to lighten up people around me (those close ones) with my silly movements or jokes.
surprising huh?
for a tough exterior outlook lies a zany person.
i know how to have my fun healthily.
laughing!
laugh laugh laugh.
i think i go through every day of my life laughing.
i even laugh at myself when i slipped or miss a step.

i must say that the workshop does help us to build a lasting relationship.
it gives us good tips and understand our partner better.

on our way back,
as usual we tuned in to class 95.
and yesterday,
yas had dr love to talk about relationships and gender differences.
it was an interesting talk about how men and ladies cope with life.
and now the partner should know why i tend to complain.
while i know how it makes him feel whenever i am not my usual self.


i can't say that our relationship is at the peak,
because we both know there are so many things we can improve on and also to become a much better lover to one another.
the partner and i are dead serious in this relationship that we wish that we will still be husband and wife in heaven.

insyaAllah.

honey,
my wish is to make you the luckiest man ever.
i know i am not an easy girlfriend to be with,
even i can't understand myself at times.
you make me believe in faith,
because you never give up on me.
i am thankful for that.
and honey,
i really love you.

food glorious food

food glorious food!

i've been dining outside for the last 2 days.
and luckily the food has been great!

for today,
i met the partner up for our couple workshop.
but before heading to our destination,
we tried a new place.
griller.

the mushroom soup was nice.
=)

and their cup/jar can holds a lot of liquid.

the main dishes we had.

what i had was chicken and chips,
it reminded me of swensen's.
however the serving here is much larger.

after filling our stomach,
we went to the workshop learning how to cope with conflicts.
interesting!
=)

the day before,
i met up my sisters after school to have dinner.


just by the below picture,
you should know what place it was.

disney naturally.


the mushroom soup was er-okay.

ice cream cake!
delicious!
vanilla.chocolate.strawberry.


the interior.




fatin too engrossed in the pizza.


the end results of 3 hungry sisters get together.

well,
there isn't much menu for us to choose,
but the company was perfect!

spending time with fatin and syafiqah was great and funny!
we had a fun time laughing and disturbing one another on our journey back.
oh dearest sisters,
i love you both!

i'll update more about love in my next entry!

darling,
i enjoyed myself!
and yes,
i'll be nonsensical just to make you laugh!
u r e 1!

workshop.

remember that both the partner and i attended a couple workshop, about building a lifelong relationship?
no?
the one that we got it free.
something to freshen your memory,
http://www.family.org.sg/connect2.html

and so we just attended the first 2 and we can't continue attending the last 3 since school term has start for him.
so recently,
we've got a phone call and email saying that we can continue the workshop in another group.

it's 2 days away!
and i'm getting excited.
this week will be about resolving conflicts.
something very useful and interesting.
i hope after this session,
whenever there is conflict,
i will take it in a calmer manner.

did you see the full moon tonight?
it's so bright and it seems happy.
just like how i felt after seeing the partner.
i really miss him.
we met up for dinner and we catch up on things.
i know he's still has some work to finish up but still he made time for me.
thank you honey!

love keeps me alive,
and i'm glad to have experience it.

sweetheart,
my life can never get better than this.

Monday, October 13

purple couple.

sweetheart,
thanks for being there for me time and time again.
at times my spirit is too low that i need that spark to be revived again.
and you should know by now that you, are the only one who can do that.
because by myself,
it would take me a much longer time.
i love you.
i really meant the 3 words.
at times i wonder,
what did i do to deserve you.
because you, the precious gift from the Almighty which i treasured the most.

the purple couple slacking at the sofa.


the partner with his usual act cool pose.


the 4 of us went house visiting and it was funny!

thank you for everything that you've done.
