Had a good D&M (deep & meaningful talk) last nite with Kris... We managed to get our insecurities into the open & paved the way for each of us to handle our demons our own way with the other supporting thruout.ok... what's the plans with the wedding? I know!! It's only 3months to go!! I nearly got a panic attack planning it! Cos Kris would prefer for me to get a job first. But I can't concentrate on the interviews if I have all these planning at the back of my mind & knowing that these are the more important things to do first. Yeah, thru the D&M last nite, we managed to decide to get to the Celebrant this Sunday, fill in the Notice of Intended Marriage, book our date & time with him to perform the ceremony & then, next week, I'll have to do a lot of phonecalls & book venues. Then, and only then, I can get thru an interview hopefully well. And insya Allah, can get a job...
A Perm job would be good, but looking at my schedule till the end of the year, I would guess a temp job would be better.... cos I'll have to take small pockets of short & long leaves till the end of December. So, I reckon that's what I'm gonna do, sign up for Temp jobs till after the wedding & when I come back from sending my parents off for Haj. Then, I'll have to start family planning cos I can't get preggerz before my Permanent confirmation. Or I'll NEVER get a job like that. It's very hard to get mgt that wants to take a heavily expecting woman in her mid-30s or a woman with kids. So yeah, a lot of planning!!
And once I get that perm confirmation, I'll have to slog really hard to save up.. cos we want to get a new place before the baby comes (home reno is bad for the baby in or outside the belly!!) & also cos raising children needs heaps of money... and not forgetting my loan to my parents... hmmm... I won't forget. Luckily Kris doesn't want me to contribute to much of the bills until my loan is cleared with my folks. Major bills like electricity, mortgage, water, gas, etc... those he'll pay... I just have to pay for my personal things myself when I get a job. Like what? Like my own clothes, prepaid phone, etc... personal things... I'm lucky to have Kris love me... and I'm luckier to love Kris.
Today, I tried burning a cd for Nor... cos she thought the little muslim kids' CD would be good for AR. Yeah, when I was in Sgp, I heard it in Masita's car. Ok, she's my long-lost-but-found high school friend. Her hubby had 1 copy ready & I was glad to receive it from them when I visited their place on my 2nd last day of my visit to Sgp. Thanks, Mas & Bada... the cd is really inspiring & easy enough for Kris to understand. Alhamdulillah.
What's the CD about? Well, it's done by Yusuf Islam and a bunch of South African muslim kids. That's the thing I was told by Dahli in the car, anyway... hehe... but it's really good & it's called "I Look, I See". Maybe someone out there have more info for me about this CD & wanna let me know their version? I welcome your input...
ok... back to Oprah...
