weekend away

Left for my grandma's place down south on Friday night.My cousin had some kenduri thingy going on and since I haven't gone to see my relatives there in a while,I figured it was probably a good idea to go.I forgot that my cousins still had no idea I'm going to get engaged this coming weekend!It was crazy.Had a lot of catching up to do with my aunt and grandma as well.We had a swell time over dinner last night.My flight today back home was at noon.Shu came to get Azim and I from the airport (along with Kecik!)

Both,Shu and I are equally exhausted.After sending me off on Friday night,he went over to his sister's place to wait for his dad coz he went back to Terengganu with him late that night.He just got back on a bus this morning.He's been talking to his entire family about this coming weekend.His dad underestimated (or possibly misunderstood) the gravity of the situation.He thought it was a merisik session when it is in fact an engagement ceremony.That explains why he's been so cool about everything all this time.

Some changes had been made.Knowing my mum,from the moment Shu told her what's gonna happen this weekend,she's been rearranging and relisting and rechecking her list(s).While we were out for badminton at the park today,she got Aunty Intan and Farah over to go over the new plans.

The reason Shu's dad insists on having the occassion on Sunday instead of Friday is because all of Shu's sisters will be at work.The wisdom behind this little change of plan is that my aunt and my uncle will be able to come over on Sunday ^_^ I have no idea is Tasha is around.Not sure if Qarim will be home.It doesn't matter.I have shitloads to do from tomorrow onwards.I have no idea what's going to happen coz the one and only engagement ceremony I have ever been to was Ili's last year which seemed like the wedding itself.

Here and now,I am trying to get some sleep coz I've been up all night last night.I was trying to find a spot to sleep but ends up moving from one place to another.I couldn't sleep in the plane.I never do.Especially on a 50-minute flight!For someone who is so afraid of take-offs and landings (and turbulences),I got window seats for both my flight to JB and back!I tried drawing and reading just to get my mind off what's happening out on the wing but everytime the plane moved a little more than normal and the pressure changes,I'd panic BIG TIME!I could have sworn I was hyperventilating.Even that mak cik sitting on the other aisle at the other end was calm!WTF?!
