If you are a real og (ha gittew), you must've read my old posts and noticed the names of the boys that I used to have feelings for (oh the cinta monyet phase), how 2 years ago I wished I got married to my then partner which didn't workout because of the distance between us but mostly because I'm an asshole.
Today, I'm writing about the man that I'm actually marrying.
If you're expecting to read a romantic love story like the one in the movies, I'm sorry. I'm a house officer, I don't have a life outside of the hospital sobs but anyways, here how it went about (not that anybody asked).
I was the medical peri houseman who was reviewing patients in ICU and he was the anaes MO oncall that day. I didn't know him, I didn't even know his name. He came up to me and said something about the patient I was reviewing but I really didn't pay much attention to him because I was rushing to finish my review so I just nodded (like whatever, sorry not sorry) - that was the first time we (almost) had a conversation.
The second time, he was oncall again, and it was Ramadhan. I had a patient in ICU whom we wanted to rule out COVID. Had his swab result back when I was about to break fast and I needed to make an entry regarding his result, so to the ICU I went. Since everyone was in the pantry eating, I thought I was alone. But.... there he was, seemingly like he wanted to say something to me... and he did.
"Asking for a friend, are you still single? Or do you already have a special someone?"
ASKING FOR A FRIEND huh
But I didn't reply him.
Fast forward to after Raya, he found me on instagram and he said hi. We sometimes bumped into each other when we went for a run at the lake - Taiping is really that tiny. And we also went out once- to Ipoh for lunch and just casual talk. TOTALLY NOT A DATE.
Two weeks later, he manned up and talked to my abang ngah on wANTinG to gET tO KnOW mE BeTTer, and then went to meet my parents, all within 1 month.
That photo on the top right side of this blog, the photo of me in mint green baju kurung holding a flower bouquet in my right hand - was taken on our engagement day on August 30th 2020. After knowing each other for about two months plus.
Isn't everything is just going on too fast?
Maybe.
But we're okay with it, we're so so comfortable with each other (despite the VERY short duration of knowing one another) and we're not having any second thoughts whatsoever so yeah.
Those who know me know that I'm very much career oriented, that I put my career first, that I'm not planning on getting married before I passed my Master exam. But there was this one day, when he and I were taking a stroll around the lake, and he stopped- holding his hand out, bending a bit, you know, as if he's holding a child's hand - and said "One of my dreams is walking and enjoying nature like this while holding my baby's hand"
And all those things that I've set my mind to just... I don't know, just vanished? I immediately felt like I've never been this ready. Like, let's do this. Let's just drop everything and get married. Yeah, like that.
Him, to me - is the right person who came at the right time. I love everything about him (EVERYTHING) and I really couldn't ask for a better man.
As I am writing this today on December 28th 2020, we are 67 days away until our wedding day.
Preparing for a wedding is so much work but I've got it under control (of course with the help of my family and fiance). Not the bridezilla everyone expected me to be heh? *smirking* Or maybe- not yet. Welp.
Everything is going well so far except for the fact that it's back to movement control order (MCO/PKP) again. If it lasted til March, then maybe we will only be having our akad nikah sesh at the office which is a total bummer but since it's really not under my control, the best thing I can do now is pray, and just hope for the best. We shall just follow the flow and see how things will be later.
Otherwise,
Wedding attires - checked
Wedding venue and wedding dais - checked
Henna - checked
Photographer - checked
I guess that's about it.
Pretty sure he definitely has no idea what it meant to me haha.
