Diha the Juggler

To the person who sms'ed me yesterday asking if I was dead: No, I'm not. But thanks for asking.

*sigh*

I wish I had more time to update my blog.
Heck!
I wish I had more time!

I am having a helluva experience right now. Juggling a mountainous workload and planning a wedding. Trust me on this. It's UNBELIEVABLE!!!

For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm on the brink of insanity...

Don't get me wrong. I'm excited about getting married. I really am. I mean, this time next month, I'll be a WIFE.

Aiyo.
I just read that last bit. A WIFE. Seorang Isteri.
Oh My GOD.

You know, I haven't actually had much time to ponder on that. On the fact that I'm embarking on this whole new journey on the next stage of my life. On the fact that I'm no longer a 'child of my parents' but a 'wife to my husband'.

A HUSBAND. Seorang Suami. Suami siapa? Suami Diha.
OH MY GOD.

I'm actually typing this without thinking so what you're reading is exactly what I'm thinking - verbatim - word for word. So forgive me for the randomness.

BACK to wedding planning and work juggling.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT GOES INTO PLANNING A WEDDING???

Unless you HAVE planned a wedding, I BET YOU DON'T. Cause I certainly didn't. And this after I left most of the wedding planning to my more-than-capable mother. She's a miracle-worker, I tell you. I bet you if you gave her an underdeveloped country, she'll turn it into a New Superpower in 2 months. Or if you gave her Camilla Parker-Bowles for a make-over, you'd get a Carmen Electra lookalike in 2 hours. She's THAT amazing, my mom.

So why am I stressing out?

I have EVERY right to be stressing out!

At the office, I can't concentrate fully on work because I'm thinking of The Wedding.

At home, I can't concentrate fully on the wedding preparations because I'm thinking of Work.

In the middle of typing out a Statement of Defence, I'd come across the word "NOT" and I suddenly think "KNOT" as in "tie the knot" and tadaaahhh!!! My brain is on wedding mode.

In the middle of helping my mom address the wedding invitations, I'd come across the name "Wahab" and I break into cold sweat as I remember the trial I'm supposed to have in front of this 'eccentric' Judge by the same name.

I remember the days when I used to calm my bride-to-be friends by saying crap like:-

"Don't la panic... banyak masa lagiii..."

"Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay. As long as you get married, it doesn't matter what the wedding is like."

"E eh, tak baik cakap you don't have enough time. Nanti Tuhan marahh.."

Wish I could go back in time to slap myself silly.
