spice.

Mr Sunshine just left, he has some work to do tonight.
I hope he does not stay out too late. 🙁
We managed to have dinner at home together first though.

I still have not gotten used to addressing him as my husband/hubby/suami. Hee.

I was on medical leave today. I would like to jump straight to the reason I was given the leave but I think I’d let you all in on the series of events that led to me being in pain.

Hubby bubbly (haha) and I went shopping for tudungs on Saturday.
Yes, as seen here, I have started covering my aurat after tying the knot. Since then, I have been using the old tudungs/shawls that I already own.
That’s alright because they go perfectly with my dresses and tops, but I do not own any that would go with any of my baju kurungs for work. And I was going back to work on Sunday (yesterday !).
This intention of mine to cover up was not a hasty one, I have been wanting to do so for almost a year now. But I did not want to rush into it and wanted to make sure that my heart was really into it, because I do not want it to be an ephemeral change. I am trying, slowly, InshaAllah.
I am still my old self, a better me, hopefully, InshaAllah.
Despite it not being a rushed decision, I did not have time to go tudung hunting all this while because I was too preoccupied with other things (read: my wedding !). Which explains the last minute shopping lah.
Bought a few plain and neutral coloured ones which I hope would match with my baju kurungs.

The highlight of that Saturday was definitely lunch time, where Mr Sunshine took me to my favourite place. McDonald’s lah, where else ! Hehe.
I had the Double Chicken Prosperity Burger set. The large set.
Sorry, I am a glutton when it comes to McD’s. 😀
Mr Sunshine had the chicken porridge. Tak mencabar langsung. *yawns*
Hee.

Mr Sunshine and I had our first home cooked meal that night. Nothing much, just spicy (a bit too spicy !) fried rice with fried eggs. :p
We do not have a stove yet but I used the multipurpose cooker which was given to us as a wedding gift (I really really can’t remember from who, sorry, but thank you so much !). It was my first time cooking in the cooker, and I had trouble getting the eggs I fried to be round in shape. Sobs. :p

Mr Sunshine tambah empat kali tau. I’m thinking I did alright. :p

So that was Saturday.
Yesterday morning, after Mr Sunshine headed off to work, I started getting this terrible pain in my tummy.
I was having a gastric attack ! The pain worsened by the minute. I took 6 tablets of antacids at home but they did not work.
I went to work and took some more antacids, but the pain did not go away. In fact it was getting worse.

I held myself together, I told myself I am not gonna let the pain control me because there were only two of us at work yesterday and I could not leave my colleague alone.
But the pain was unbearable, even after 8  Magnesium Trisilicate tablets, one tablespoon of Magnesium Trisilicate mixture and 1 Ranitidine tablet, I was still crunching in pain.
I was as pale as a dead person.
Sakit sangat. :'(
One of the senior pharmacy assistant rushed me to the Emergency Department where I was injected with an analgesic, Diclofenac Sodium and placed on IV Sodium Chloride drip with IV Ranitidine. 🙁

So yes, that’s how I got my medical leave.
Still don’t get it ?
DON’T EAT DOUBLE PROSPERITY BURGER FOLLOWED BY NASI GORENG CILI PADI !

Okay, bye.

Alhamdulillah.
Everything ran smoothly as planned.
It’s not easy planning your wedding on your own you know.
Coming from a small family, I had a handful of people to help out the night before.
Lene, Marc, Akey, Sal and Linn, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. 🙂

The whole occasion was not an extravagant one, but I am happy with how it went. 🙂
Ok, while Mr Sunshine is out for Friday prayers I shall try to summarize who and who were responsible for what. Hehe.

Firstly, both my baju kurung for my akad nikah and my reception dress were from First Impression, Jalan TAR. The place is just opposite SOGO. You would not miss it. I highly recommend this place if any of you have been looking for THE dress, whether you want to rent or buy it. I had mine tailored the way I wanted it, simple sahaja. Hee. If you choose to rent the dress like I did, it will come with the accessories and custom made shoes. 🙂

 
 Just to let you see how my dress looked like sans hand bouquet. :p
 
 The trail.
 
The veil, cantik tak ? 😀

My hantaran.
Everything was decorated by Sal. On her own. 🙂

Makeup.
I think I looked a bit orangey on my akad nikah. But overall, I think Lya did a fantastic job judging from the good comments I received from all of you. Hehe.
Give her a call you guys, she won’t disappoint.
See photos above for proof. 😀

Food.
I received a number of comments about the food being delicious !
I could not agree more, even though we only had like a couple of spoonfuls during the night. Food was provided by Mutiara Catering.
I took the package which included food (both for guests and us), tables, chairs and table sheets, the deco for the meja pengantin, and a three tiered cake ! Everything was definitely worth it. 🙂

The meja pengantin.
The cake.

My pelamin (and bantal nikah) was from Weddings Galore. It was a pleasure working with Julie. And I think my pelamin was lovely ! Haha biarlah perasan pun. :p

 

Wedding cards were from Kanda Dinda. 🙂

I gave out chocolate muffins as my doorgifts. All ordered from Camomile Taste.

My hantaran cake was from here as well. 🙂

I hope I did not leave anything out.
I need to go take a shower now. :p
Bye !

xoxo,
Melissa R.
