My dad is going to kill me if he reads this, hehehehehe.

Yeah, this is what I feel at this very moment, the thought of Kawen Lari. Easy what, just go and get married and skip the preparation process, hehehehe. Wali? I can heret my brother with me. 2 days after the merisik agenda, both me and and my darling K felt the pressure. Both our mothers got their engine started, mama actually bought so many things last week when she was in KL.

I was on the phone with Khairul last week, and I could sense he sounded so stress with this and that. I asked him what’s with the tone? Stress already? He said, yeah, banyak nya benda nak buat. That is when I said : “Jom, kita kawen lari nak? Tak yah susah2 nak prepare segala benda, yang penting, we are married and everyone is happy” I wished he had replied : JOM!, but instead, him, always being the wise one said : “That is very tempting dear, but NO, we can’t do that. Unless you want your dad to take out his gun and my father keluar parang”

Oh dear, we are back to square one! Hehehehe.

Although the kenduri is after raya, but I just realise that there are so many things to prepare! Ouchh… I have made a very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very long list. Talking, thinking, discussing about the engagement kenduri pun is already exhausting! And looking at the invitation list??? Aiyoh, sangat panjang. My dad said : “alang2 jemputan ramai for tunang, panggil tok kadi terus!” Oh, no way father, not yet

Babah’s immediate family is already a very long list, mom’s side lagi, Khairul’s family, our friends. And for the wedding, it is such an impossible thing for me to do at Dewan, apa lagi buat kat hotel. With that very long guest list, I think I buat kat rumah saja. Perhaps it will not be as grand if we do it in hotel, but I am sure it will be meriah, and most important, all the family and friends are there to share my happy day.

My mom has appointed aunty Yot to be head of everything, hence I have to liase with her for every single detail. Mama is in SP, and she comes back every 3 weeks I guess, so, not enough time for her to look into every single detail. Past 2 weekend, I’ve been to many shops with Aunty Yot survey things, buying things, ordering things, etc-etc-etc. And I realised that I am a very fussy person. During adik and kakteh’s wedding, I was just the coordinator, I don’t decide, I leave that to mom. My job was to make sure everything goes as plan. But now, I want to know everything, from the colour, to its material, bla-bla-bla. Mom told me that she wanted to get something nice for the groom’s family as doorgift during akad nikah ceromony. Usually, I will just say, ok mama, whatever you like is fine with me. But this time I told mama, I want to look at the sample first. If it does not suit my liking, then it is a NO. Now mama yang tensen, hehehehe.

But I thank God I have already many people willing to volunteer. Last Sunday, I got my friend to come to my opah’s house to have a look at the place and discuss the decorations for the small engagement we will have soon. Nasib baik my friend, a wedding planner, can see eye to eye with aunty yot. If they cannot agree, I die!!! Hehehehe. And mom calls me everyday, telling me this and that, what she wants, what she wants me to buy. My weekends are busy doing for preparation, but will curi masa go dating will darling K

We are going kursus kawen this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. Friday is a public holiday, hence I will use it to cari barang lagi with Aunty Yot. Babah kept reminding me, be moderate at all times, not to waste, yang penting, semua selamat, tak payah membazir or berlebih-lebihan, I just hope mama understands that. The thing is, she has been waiting for me to kawen for a long time, and this is her last kenduri of her children, so I know she will make sure she gets what she wants. Aiyoh!

Ok, chow. Malam ni balik lambat lagi, must stop this, every night going out meeting people, tengok wayang lah, makan lah. Hehehehe.

Take care everyone!

*still….. the thought of kawen lari is so tempting*
