I dont know what title but I dont care!

Man, I didn’t really mean it. Yesterday was overwhelming indeed. Jay, Sue and now..ta da!

Remember my challenge in the previous entry? The one where I beckoned you to bring it on? Guess what? Last night, it came.

Kylie’s Red Blooded Woman started to play just as I was about to enter the bathroom.

Mona: Hello. Ya?
Caller: Hello. Eh, why are you in a huff?
Mona: I want to pee!
Caller: You pee first and I’ll call later.
Mona: No no no no..I’ll bring my phone in. Put you on loudspeaker.
Caller: Erm, I want to tell you something…
Mona: (peeing and talking at the top of my voice) What? What? We just met for dinner 10 minutes ago!
Caller: I wanted to tell you but I don’t know how to say it in front of #%^)&*$& (a name).
Mona: Say what? (flushed toilet)
Caller: What the hell is that?
Mona: Hehe..toilet flush.
Caller: Gross!
Mona: Oh shaddap. What did you want to say?
Caller: Erm..
Mona: (almost hysterical) What? Speak up! I cant hear you!
Caller: He met my family yesterday and we have decided to get married this December.
Mona: What? Again? When? December?????
Caller: Yeah, man!
Mona: Walao!! Why didn’t you say just now? Then can tell #%^)&*$& also?
Caller: I don’t know how to tell you!
Mona: Just say, “Mona, I am getting married.”
Caller: I don’t know! I don’t know!
Mona: Okay, okay. You have to tell her.
Caller: I know. I will.
Mona: Can I be your bridesmaid?
Caller: Of course, lah! You have to be beside me all the time!
Mona: What? All the time? Can I decorate your car? Can I decorate your car?
Caller: We are going to get a Mercedes.
Mona: Wah!!! Can I decorate your car? (Then I realised I sucked in handicraft) Okay..no need he can decorate the car.
Caller: Okay. I’m home. I’ll call you again soon.
Mona: Bye!




Then it hit me and I had to take a moment and sit on the toilet bowl. Sharinah is getting married. My closest companion/mentor/senior/big sister is getting married.

When we get married we'll have a big celebration
Send invitations to all our friends and relations
We'll have a ball, dancing and all
When we get married

When the bells ring and tell the world I'm taking your hand
Folks from all over will come to see the wedding we've planned
We'll have a ball, dancing and all
When we get married (when we get married)

(We'll have a time) we'll have a time
(We'll dance and dine) and darling, we'll be oh so gay
(We'll have a ball) we'll have a ball
(Dancing and all) and darling we'll be as one

Just wait and see--our wedding day is not very far
Old folks will whisper and say how lovely we both are
We'll have a ball, dancing and all
When we get married (oh) mm-mm-mm (oh, oh, oh, oh)
- When We Get Married, Dream Lovers

It is still kind of sudden for me. Not that I am the one getting married but the news and the responsibilities and the excitement are very overwhelming!

Okay we are going to go shopping, we are going to buy baskets, lace, taffeta, silk and satin, chocolates, cake..we are going to hunt for a mak andam. We are sooo running out of time. Book a studio, I don’t want to be a photographer lah!!!! Tak glam….Argh! It is so exciting to be the right-hand (wo)man. That brings me to..the hen night. What are we going to do. You know what, I’ll have a pre-bridal gift. I’m going to take you watch Swan Lake. How about a trip? How about that? Ok ok ok…what else, oh ya. Your 2 traditional costumes, your wedding gown and your evening dress! So exciting. What colour you want Meiling and I to wear? You want music? Flowers! Lots and lots of flowers! Rose petals everywhere! Oh, you mention a hotel reception? Which hotel? Woman, you are driving me nuts here. I want to pengsan!

I forgot.

CONGRATULATIONS!



I am so so so happy for you. I am swirling, twirling, wheeling with excitement. I feel like screaming with joy, shouting it out on a mountaintop, “Sharinah’s getting married!!!!”

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of lo-o-o-o-ve
And in the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love him and he'll bring you luck
And if ya find he helps your mind, better take him ho-ome
Yeah 'n' dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of lo-o-o-o-ve
And in the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
- Danny’s Song, Anne Murray

Sniff.

Happy.

Too happy.
