.:as you wish:.

Okay, time for more pics!

Farah and her relatives. Unfortunately, the only one I can remember now is Baiti (the one in white). Sorry, dear! (note to self: must draw family tree with pictures of each person. Must do this ASAP to avoid future embarassing moments)

Anticlockwise from right: Farah, mum, myself and Baiti.

The light of my life. (As Joe would say... "mamat ni jiwang karat siott!")

Clockwise from left: moi, Papa, Mama, Farah and Sarah (my sis).

That's all folks! (Okay, there are more pics, but most of em are of Farah, and I think you guys won't appreciate that as much as I would, right? =P)

.:Guilt trips:.

Hello, folks. It's been a little tough lately, with SY being on maternity leave and most of the team being out marketing. Oh, not to mention the fact that YT has left the team to join Lion Cap in Singapore. I do miss him sometimes, in an entirely platonic way, of course.

As promised, here are some pictures of the engagement ceremony.
My dad (in green) with the rest of the convoy. Although I wasn't (technically) supposed to be there, I came along anyway. Pining hearts and all that jazz, ya know.

Aahh... here she comes...

The obligatory mother-in-law hug (of death/destruction/love*) * delete where appropriate. (Obviously love in this case, of course =P)

A new one for me, this. This is the 'menyuap gula' ceremony... whereby the relatives (on both sides) feed the future bride a spoonful of sugar each. Considering that there were upwards of 80 relatives that day, this would probably be the reason why Malaysia experienced a sudden sugar shortage in early July, as reported by major newspapers.

One ring to rule them all... Habib Jewels, on the other hand, would be far happier with at least three to four rings to rule them all, I think.

More in the next post..

.:In the meantime:.

I am now officially engaged. However, pictures will only be posted as soon as I get my hands on them, which unfortunately will not happen anytime soon-ish.

So in the meantime, let us stick to the World Cup-mania sweeping the globe, by reproducing some quotes for your intellectual consumption:

"Home advantage gives you an advantage" - Sir Bobby Robson, former manager of Barcelona, Newcastle & England.

"... and the news from Guadalajara where the heat is 96 degrees Fahrenheit is that Falcao is warming up..." - Brian Moore, commentator.

"I don't think there is anybody bigger or smaller than Maradona." - Kevin Keegan, ex-player and manager of Newcastle, England & Manchester City.

"Very few of us have any idea whatsoever of what life is like living in a goldfish bowl, except of course, for those of us who are goldfish.' - Graham Taylor, former Watford & England manager, a.k.a. (rather cruelly) the Turnip.

Enjoy!
