The intention was put nong..nong time ago. I said to myself..it's gonna be slightly before or by 40 years of my living years, I MUST DO IT! But I didnt take the intention seriously ,back then.
My life journey continues to go on and on and on......still Diva-ish and still vogue-ish ,( la owang kata kankankan Petom..Kuntum..hehe ). However, the supplications towards HIM never ever stop.
Weeks before the transitions, my feelings just have to tell me that the day is coming soon..."you better be prepared !". I was like "ye ke ??" I tried to brush off the thought. It kept haunting me thou. I went for my short holidays & spent some money on shopping. Somehow, during the spree, the thots, just kept playing in my mind .......telling me "get this one...yeah the long sleeve ones" I was like .."Diam la! owang nak shopping ni !". I ended getting, some short sleeves blouses/tops and just 2 long sleeve ones. The best is yet to come... cos, i love assessories so much...........i got almost everything..from bangles, necklaces, hair clips ,hair bands & lots of ear rings ! It is hard to let old beliefs go,eh . They are such familiar stuff in my shopping lists..hehe
Sunday, 17thDec2006, i woke up slightly earlier ,in the morning (than my usual weekend mornings ) and got myself dressed for the occasions. Our good frends are leaving for Haj, hence , they are having a little selawat sessions at Masjid Khadijah. After which , i have another invitation at Masjid Siglap , for a simple nikah ceremony and small reception of my not so close cousin. On the same day , in the evening, my kids and I will be heading to my mom's place for a little celebration of her b'day. Three beautiful occasions on the same day. The not so beautiful part of the day, my hubby , was unwell, thus, was not present in any of the events.
After, attending my cousin's function, i drove back home in the pouring rain. Dropped my parents off & I reached home, slightly after 3 in the afternoon. Rest for awhile, checked on hubby, cleaned myself up...did my Zuhr and continued my Asr. That was the most memorable time of my life (i tell ya !). The prayers i did , felt so surreal. .I just couldnt describe the feel. ! My heart was beating slightly faster...tears just fell like Niagara falls. I asked HIM, "oh Allah, if today is the day, please help to make it easier for me ......" I felt a different sense of calmness after the prayers...
Hubby was at the living room with the kids, he felt slightly better, after the medications. I came to him, and told him..."today, is the day !"......"today is the day, im gonna be a cover girl"...hahaha
he didnt look surprise or disbelieve, as if , he was also prepared of wat im gonna tell him. (i expected him to at least act surprise *duh*..maklum la, just the week before, tis wifey has spent some $$ on wat she loves best!) ..he was also calm...he nodded and gimme a smile. ;)
So, i went to my mom's place that evening..as a CoverGirl...hahaha, apart fm thinking that im going for another religious function...everyone was happy n pleased after, i told them abt the transitions... ';) I have mixed reaction fm ppl around me, whom know me for wat i was/am.....wat an abrupt changes, some said...but all in all , many were good ones.
Life is about to begin, a new one.......but there's always obstacles waiting for you. The obstacles are the sum of my choices. I have yet to face my mother-in-law ! "aiyoyo...apa sudah jadik............." ok..ok, so she hasnt seen the new me yet..so, it's better to find out, then to suppose . See, how interesting my life is.......no pain no gain kan !
These pics are very poorly and wrongly taken by me. See, how cleverly i took this pics. But a bit of consolation for myself, i managed to put up the darn pics...!
these are only some of my chunks of chunky ear rings..that i have to slowly bid farewell :(

the colorful scraves, courtesy of my hubby. i asked him to get for me along that little lane , he ended buying all the colors that's avble, so that he doesnt have to go back there again, just in case his wifey needs another color.**duh**
Anyhow, I still have to go shopping..(tak abis-abis) , cos, i really need to revamp my wardrobe. Im so out of stock of wat to wear... ! I leave u all with this pantun...

Takpelah beb, orang nak cakap apa, cakaplah. Yang penting DIA maha mengetahui hati & iman kita.

Hah, reminds me of my first time.. it was as if the whole world was looking at only me. And it was so hard to give up my accessories as well since I was a teenager then. Then again, it was all for the good.
Welcome to the club then.
sal,
thanks..i get wat u mean ;)
err, sebelom aku congratulate kau *but dude, i did that oready!!*, boleh ku bertanya.....kenapa ada one looonnnnggggggggggg blank space at the end dahh???

ms mumble,
tu yang aku pelik ni....pastu, ko tau lah,aku ni kan masih virgin ngan si blogspot.com, sebelom sumer citer aku kena "makan"...lebih baik aku diamkan lah, benda ni jadi cam gitu...LOL ! kwang kwang kwang
Time type pantun awak ngantuk eh? Nie mesti tertido then muka melekat kat keyboard abihtu hidung tertekan "enter" key kan? Nasib baik air liur tak meleleh masok keyboard. Boleh kena current tau. Hati-hati eh lain kali. :)
PS: Tahniah on deciding to cover yourself up. It is never too late to start. I hope more Muslim women will make the same decision you did. That includes my wife. She has converted for more than 10 years already but only tries to cover herself up on occasions (which is not good enough). I'm pro-tudung. She prays though. So I hope more of that praying will open her heart someday.
al sayf,
wat i learn (fm my experience) never stop supplicating to HIM..hell definitely show us the light...sooner or later. It will come naturally..insya allah.
anyway, Thanks for dropping by ;)
alamak it shld be He'll instead of *hell* ooops !
