Losing sleep over...
THIS....
It's a 3D Model of a building in Putrajaya that is in the plan of being built. There are 4 buildings and each of my collegues are assigned to create one. This is still in early stages. It's incomplete with more features to be added later. It took me almost 2 weeks to finish this. The first week was hell. I've done so many errors and sometimes petty mistakes and yet i have to redo it 4-5 times a day. Yesterday was typically hard as i was in snail's pace to create the columns,overhangs,parapets and even the roof. And now, that it has resembled a building, i'm feeling pretty proud of it. With all the flaws and imperfections, it's mine and i did that.
Next, we will calculate the energy consumption in this building. Lets hope i don't need another 2 weeks for that.

Kursus Kahwin
So this weekend i attended a marriage course at Jelatek.There were 9 of us; 4 couples and 1 solo cousin tagging along. Fiance, his sisters & their partners and cousins and then there was me. People are saying by next year they are increasing the days up to a week. I don't know whether the rumors are true since i've been hearing the same things each year and yet things are still the same. First day was fine. The course start at 230pm-730pm. I wore a jubah and of course covered up my head and fiance likes it and wants me to wear it permanently. InsyaAllah but not now. It's a gradual process for me but i believe sooner or later that day will come. First day we got 3 sessions and all of them are hilarious and fun. I wasn't sleepy, wasn't hot, enjoying the sessions and laughing big time. First day was a success that makes me look forward for the next one.
The second day was such a disappointment. It started so early and we were there by 845am and stayed there till 4pm. I was sleepy and sick. I had a serious stomachache, dizzy, and since i sit way back, it was quiet hot and i managed to doze off for a few minutes. This time around i wasn't laughing as much as i want to and the sessions was boring. By lunch time, i was getting worse. I didn't eat since morning and my stomach were acting up. I think i almost vomit in the car, the scarf suddenly felt too tight and i was suffocating so i removed it for few minutes while trying to get some air into my lung while Nally stroked my hair trying to calm me down. Back in the class, i was trying real hard not to vomit and think happy thoughts so i could at least forgot my discomfort. When the clock strike 4, i heaved a sigh of relief, send the troops back home, went back and sleep like a log. It was a bad bad day for me.
On a brighter note- I've done my marriage course and couldn't wait to get the certificate. One down, many more to go. Found out the HIV test only valid for 6 months so we scrape the plan of doing it this month. Have to wait 6 months before our wedding date to do the test. Oh well, i'm not that crazy with needles anyway.

Duchess Place
So today fiance & I with Nyna ( my soon to be-sister-in-law) went to Duchess Place to check the venue out for a possible wedding reception. I came across this place when i was going through some random wedding blogs and i thought the place is so whimsical and English and i love their garden party decoration. The concept is so ME. So i pursuade Nally to accompany me since we haven't gotten around to discuss about his side yet.
....And the place didn't disappoint us at all. When we arrived, there are doing some sort of cleaning other people's wedding leftover. I met with Joe, whom i talked via phone before and eventhought we didn't have any appointment, he graciously answered all our questions and even show us around the compound.
Too bad i've already paid a deposit for another venue or i would have grab this place up on the spot but this place is definitely high on the list for other possible events i might be doing over the years(chewah,berangan). I would highly recommend this place as a wedding venue if you wanna break from the norm of having it in hotels or halls.
Some description of the place that i got from the internet:
General info on Duchess Place:
- 2 main part, the house itself is a double storey house which they converted the ground level to an empty living room with a nice flooring & chandelier. upper floor has 2 rooms for clients to use with a small rest/living room area. The other part is a marque tent with fully air-conditioned.
- can accommodate up to 650-700 pax
- package including food, table&chairs (they dont have chiavari chairs but they have garden chairs which looks like chiavari but cuter :) , all deco ie pelamin, high table and marque tent deco, photographer (optional), PA system, 2x50" LCD.
- 2 rooms provided for bride/family usage (and u can stay for one night there)
To add some; i was told starting next year there are gonna decrease the list from 600 pax to 300-400 pax, the price might increase as they gonna add grand piano in the list, they gonna add another fully air-conditioned see-through mini marque tent at the garden so if the bride decide to do her akad nikah in the tent at night, they can actually see the stars =) , they will put fairy lights in the garden (super love this), the packages provide wedding cakes and complimentary gifts to guests and many more.
What not to love about this place? But of course, with all this super pretty gorgeous decorations, the price is expectedly quiet pricey but if you have that extra green to make your big day super special, splurge on this place.
And now some photos:

Engaged
::Engaged::
I think a big part of it being turn into an engagement is because my mom and her 'preparation' for supposedly simple merisik ceremony. She wants to give gifts (hantaran) and she's preparing the door gifts and ordering food up to a point i was a bit flabbergasted. I thought merisik supposed to be where we are going to have a big lunch/dinner and get to know more of both side families without door gifts and hantaran. She even sought help from aunties for potpouri preparations/decorations and finding the place setting to put the hantaran. She was the backbone and the force that keeps things going so i just went along with all her plans. All i have to do was find a macarons for one of the gifts.
Again, because we thought it was a merisik ceremony, there's no dais or anything extravaganza. It was actually pretty small and intimate with 20 families on both side. Up to this point, i couldn't care less whether it's small or big, all i care is i'm stepping into the next threshold and there's a man who love me enough and more to ask my hand in marriage, i had butterflies and when my future-mother-in-law slipped on the ring, i actually had this moment where i imagined it was HIM who's doing it. It was pretty emotional for me.
Eventhough he proposed to me 3 years ago where he was down on one knee (yes, i got the one-knee-moment) and i do consider myself his fiancee for 3 years now, but this experience is priceless and it cemented the promise that we are heading down the road SOON. It somehow strenghten the bond even more.
Here's what i wrote in facebook;
" I didn't talk about it yet questions are being asked and pictures are demanded.Sometimes it still feels like a dream and yet there's a constant reminder of a ring.Not just any ring but an engagement ring.It was a small ceremony and I wouldn't trade it for anything.My heartfelt gratitude to my mom who starts the ball rolling, to my dad who is so cool, my sisters who helps a lot, my baby sister who felt left out but you are here in spirit, my lovely aunties, and of course my soon-to-be-new family who accept me and love me and tease me mercilessly and done everything right to make me feel at home with them and my fiance whom i've been for the past 7 years, You are simply the best."
Love,
Aneesa
I couldn't wait to get married. Doakan kami berkekalan. Amin.
Last month of 2010
Isn't it funny (not that funny actually) that i started to end this year by writing back? Shouldn't i start on Jan 2011 to mark a new year or a new resolution?
Well, I never stick to my resolution anyway, so why bother? I've been itching to write for ages now but the inspirations and motivation wasn't there or if i do have stories to tell, i'm to lazy to type them out. But i realised that since i'm embarking on a new journey not-so-soon, i better keep some sort of rememberance because i'm so forgetful and sometimes i do regret not remembering details of certain highlights of the year ie my birthday,my graduation,my first job,my engangement and so forth.
For those loyal loyal readers, they've been with me since 2006, the first time i started blogging and i never stop eventhought i keep on creating other blogs, they knew my stories, and being me, someone who loves blog-hopping and pretty loyal reader to some of my favourite blogs, would feel deprived when their favourite bloggers stop writing. I stop writing for almost a year, i don't exactly remember when i did, but the first part of 2010 was a whirlwind of rollercoaster ride for me with mixture of emotions that i couldn't bear writing anything anymore. I love my blogs. I pour my heart and soul and wrote my momentous journey from being a student fresh out of high school and being with my love ones, the ups and downs, how i blossomed from a teenager to a young woman- for those who actually write blogs- you would know how i felt and when i stop, unfortunately for me,some of my fellow bloggers stop writing too (on their own reasons of course) and i lost my entertainment.
December 2010 should be a special month. Apart from my papa and sister's birthday, it marks my 7 years journey with my better half. Such long,hard,full of ups and down journey and i'm super amazed that we are still here today. A big WOW please.
So my facebook status today is " Everybody deserve a second chance ".
2010 has been a learning curve for me and that status has help me alot. I shall start the blog slowly with bits and bits of my recent updates and what's been happening while i went AWOL the whole year.
And a big changes this year will be I'M ENGAGED.
