new year, new beginning

heyhey
so it’s the 2nd day of the new year. Happy new year y’all!

MY new year though began a few weeks ago. New year, new life, new beginning.
What a rush!

There was some uncertainty over our tenancy at cg, seeing that there was a looong waiting list for the place, but the lady boss gave us a great wedding gift 2 days before our wedding by finally agreeing to our request. Yeyy! We actually took time off our wedding preps to drop by her office and speak to her personally, and were we glad we did that! I suppose perseverance does pay off, and if one really puts one’s mind to it then nothing is out of our reach. And of course it wouldn’t have been possible without HIS blessings…Alhamdulillah..

The 2 days were a success. Saturday’s weather was great, which suited us fine as we were zipping here and there. On Sunday, we were blessed with showers of rain, which also suited us fine cos we had nowhere to go. Alhamdulillah, the guests didn’t stay away despite the rain.

We went for our short trip to bali for some r&r. Why bali? Cos we wanted to spend some quality time together – eating, swimming, snogging (hehhe!), just lazing around doing nothing basically. And spending money on a trip to someplace far doesn’t make much sense if our itinerary for the trip is doing nothing. Was actually flirting with the idea of going to Thailand, but we’ve been to many of the places there already, and I’ve never done bali, so bali it was. (I’d personally recommend phuket or krabi and phiphi for honeymooners if they’ve never been there before – great place, friendly people and loads of halal food to eat). But bali is still great to me becos of the loads of us time that we had.

We had the wedding party soon after – a small do (successfully planned and executed by his group of super-able, creative, helpful and friendly students), mostly for his colleagues and students. My close grp of friends were invited as well, and I’m most thankful and happy that they were there. We had fun didn’t we girls? :P

The photos are ready, and I’m mighty pleased with the results. Shouldn’t have spent those countless hours surfing the net for good journalistic photographers when I have them right under my nose! Will upload the pics in good time yah

The dust has settled, the euphoria of the last few weeks will ebb, and soon we’ll be going back to work. I cant wait to get on with our lives proper, without the dazzle. Wish the 2 of us the best yah!
