Irreplaceable Dewi

i have a friend. A good friend.

Her name is Dewi.

When i first started working for The Company, i don't really know many people. Name pon budak baru kan? And it really annoyed me when people always said "Ehh.. You ni macam Dewi lah!" or "You and Dewi ni sedara ke?" or when they see me from afar they'll call out "Hi Dewi!". i didn't know who Dewi is. When i finally met her, of course i got more annoyed. We don't look alike at all!

i don't really know how we got close. Perhaps during the department's teambuilding in 2008? Or maybe it's our similar interest in pretty clothes, handbags, passion for good food, and insecurities of being fat. i honestly don't know. Maybe it's just the chemistry between us. Friendship is weird that way.

Dewi is an Indonesian working in The Company but if you have just met her, you wouldn't know she's not a Malaysian because she speaks really fluent Bahasa Melayu. Not the bahasa baku type, the bahasa pasar type. She amazes people. Even my brother adore her (i know this coz everytime i said i'm out with a colleague, he'll ask "Dewi ke??")

Anyway, she's married. Kitorang DGAs sume bersemangat gler gi wedding dier in December 2008. Beautiful wedding. And now she's heavily pregnant! Though it's not MY pregnancy, but i'm so excited! Tetiap hari mesti pegang perot dier. Tetiap hari tanya baby tendang ke. Tetiap hari tanya perot sakit ke? i remember when we first got to know she's pregnant, we went to Isetan to buy comfy shoes for pregnant woman. i was mortified to think that i can't wear heels when pregnant. We'll get to that part later.

And there's sumthing very SEXY about pregnant women. The shape of perot yang memboyot adalah seksi. Tapi dia sebok kata dia gemok. Like, so not!

Good things always come to an end. Last November, we received a sad news. Dewi had to be transferred to The Company's Jakarta branch. Bagaikan halilintar memecah bumi berita itu menusuk jantungku (ok, drama lebih). Seriously we were so sad. Sigh Sigh. It was hard letting her go. We threw her a Farewell-Cum-Baby-Shower Party. Had sleepover. We threw a farewell dinner. Gave going-away pressies. We threatened her to come back visit us or we'll kidnap the child. We even broke down and cried at Delicious. Peduli apa orang ramai, yang penting kami meraung. It was not pretty.

Now, it's been more than a month that she's gone. i miss her like crazy. DGA is not the same without her. We still talk through PingChat. But of course it's not the same as having her here. And to think that we won't see Little Dewi til September. Sigh.

The baby's gonna pop out on January 27, 2011, insyaAllah. Let's pray that everything will go beautifully for mummy and baby ok? 

i don't think Dewi reads blog, but if you do; IBUKKK AKU SAYANG KO BERANAK ELOK-ELOK, SIHAT CEPAT-CEPAT NANTI KITE GI HOLIDAY KAT KRABI LAGI OKAY??


 The start of it. Department's team building in Cameron Highland, 2008.

 Sebelom townhall, sempat posing!

 The four of us. Love!


 
 One of the happiest day. Makan-makan at Dewi's.

Dalam DGA memang kami berempat paling gedik dan nakal. Maybe that's why i'm closest to these three girls. Hehe.

Ahya's hen party.

On our way to Delicious for a last dinner with her. 

 Adegan meraung dan meleleh di Delicious Marc Residence.
Bler fikir balik, kelakar lak. Haha.

Ini pon kelakar jugak. Saya dan Kak Yulie ada beg DKNY yang sama! Sebijik!!

Her baby shower cum farewell party!

The glowing yummy mummy-to-be!

 Yeayyy but sobs.

 i miss her laugh.

The last time she set foot in our office. It was a sad day..

 The last time we saw her.

Dewi & i semasa muda remaja.
Hope to see you again *cross fingers*

Our Forth Anniversary..

Approximately ten years ago, late one night, a girl and a boy at the age of 15 were intently talking on the phone. Their conversation flows easily. They talked about school, friends, family, and life in general. Kadang-kadang terdengarlah suara budak perempuan ni berdekeh-dekeh ketawa dek kerana kelawakkan budak lelaki ini. Yang mamat ni pulak memang dari kecik suka menyakat minah ni. They are cousins. They are good friends. It's as simple as that.

Suddenly the boy asked, "Weh, ko penah tak gi makan kat KL Tower? Kat restoran pusing-pusing tu.."

"Tak pernah la.. Pernah gi skali je tengok teropong-teropong tu. Apsal?" the girl answered honestly.

"Hurm.. Takpe. Nanti one day aku bawak ko. Kite gi makan kat sana," said the boy.

"Bukan mahal ke??" the girl asked skeptically. They were 15 afterall.

"Memang la mahal.. Takpe, nanti-nanti kite gi laa.." assured the boy.

A promise was made.

Little did they know that life has a plan for them. Ten years passed. At times they grew close to each other, other times they we separated, and sometimes they were even strangers to one another.

*  *  *  *  *

The boy and the girl are Mr. Chenta and i. 

He made that promise when we were young and naive. And though i tried to act cool about that, dalam hati selalu teringat je. Bler la nak bawak aku gi sane.KL Tower kot! Lupa kah dia? Haishh.. Hampeh! sampai lama-lama, aku pon lupe dah..

This year, as our forth anniversary as boyfriend and girlfriend approached, i casually asked "So bibib.. Where should we celebrate this year?". i was thinking about Marche. Or Tony Roma's. God, i miss their ribs. With a smile, he turned to me and casually said "Hurmmm.. Kite gi KL Tower nak?"

Hehe.

Always takes me by surprise.

Good things come to those who wait eh?

 The view at our table when we got there.
On my date night pon i have to be reminded about work! Pscfttt!

 Pompuan gomok.

 Lelaki oncet!

 Posing gedik kene ade jugak kan?

 He's kinda afraid of height. Hehe.

(Almost) 25 years of being cousins, 4 years of being us.

About the dinner itself.. The dinner buffet is priced at RM155/pax. Asian and Continental spread was offered. Honestly, the Continental buffet was yummy but the Asian dishes were disappointing. Pelik jugak, caterernya adalah Sri Melayu. Tapi masakan Melayunya hampeh. 

But we didn't really mind because OH MY GODDD THE VIEW IS INCREDIBLE. Took my breath away. We were so jakun looking at the KL City lights and busy pointing out places like "Loooooook that's the Sungai Wang!" "Heyyy that's Penjara Pudu!" "Tu dierrr Maybank Tower!" "Heyyy.. Where's Wangsa Maju? i couldn't see Carrefour!". We couldn't take our eyes off the view (and each other, of course!)

The glass windows are a bit tilted so when you lean forward, kite rase macam tengah jatuh from KL Tower ke bawah. Sumpah la gayat mase mula-mula meniarap atas tingkap tu. If it's up to me, i'd like to bungee jump from there. Wahhh mesti rase cam nak mati!

But the worst part of the night is when tengah sibok-sibok amek gamba, tetibe bateri kameraku mampos! Arghhh.. Stress okeh!!! Terpaksa la meneruskan kejadian cam-whore dengan phone masing-masing.

Overall, i think it's the perfect night. i think it's perfect coz i get to spend it with him. ;)

Serious lah i waited 10 years for that.

Hello!

Hello there!

Feel like it's been a loooooong time since i last updates my blog. Dah bersawang-bertaik-cicak blog ini. Reason being is i'm busy and wasn't really in the mood to blog. Heeeee..

Well, well.. A few things that happened these past weeks:

1) Ekin Getting Married!
- Ekin's my schoolmate. It's a mixed feelings seeing the people you grew up with tiba-tiba bertukar status. Tiba-tiba kawen. i was one of the bridesmaids. Hehe! Agak sebok menguruskan baju (last minute okeh!), pening2 fikir layout dewan, cara jalan, bridesmaid's bouquet bagai. Ok fine, tak la busy mana. Menyibok je! But i had fun with the girls. Girlfriends rule!!

2) Annual Technical Assessment
- Technical assessment datang lagi! This time it was tougher coz they reset all our previous results and assess us from scratch. Tak cukup dengan itu, saya pulak tukar sub-skill group. Adehh.. i didn't think i did well but i'm just thankful it's over!

3) In Getting Married!
- In is my coursemate. Again, i was one of the bridesmaids cum person-in-charge of flowers along with Linda (budak kecik ni is officially my partner in crime!). Seronok pegi wedding dia coz it's in Melaka and very traditional. Ada malam berinai segala.

4) Our 4th Anniversary! Yeayyyy!
- Hehe. 4 years and counting. Pray to Allah this feeling will last forever and dipercepatkan jodoh. Amin.

Nanti kalau rajin i'll write more about these..

p/s: Mr. Chenta is going back to his parents house in Kuching tonite for God-knows-how-long. i hate it when he's far away! *Sigh. Sigh. Cry*

Happy Birthday Sayang!

Today is Mr. Chenta's birthday!

My big guy is old.. 25 already. Sigh. How time flies. Before we know it, we'd be celebrating his 73rd birthday!

Unlike any typical birthday celebration, i didn't really plan any surprise party or non-surprise party, or made birthday card. The reason? Firstly, he's in the middle of his final exams, and his birthday falls on a Tuesday which means he's far too nervous to be thinking of celebrations (in fact he's been moody these past few weeks because of exams and his final year project. It's annoying!) . Secondly, well, i'm too busy.. Tak sempat buat card. Sorry bibib!

Butttttt.. i managed to get him something he's been lusting after.

Ibanez Acoustic Guitar

Ibanez V72ECE Semi Acoustic Guitar

Hehe!

He's not expecting this at all. He was on the computer and there i came, carrying this huge guitar box with a blue ribbon on it and say "Hey BB, look what i got!!", grinning from ear to ear. And boy, his expression was priceless. At first he looked surprised, happy but uncertain like he couldn't believe his eyes. Blinked a few times, jaw almost hanging. "What's that?" He asked. i was like "Duhhh.. A guitar, of course!". "Where'd you get that?". "Turun dari langit, and i caught it!"

Seriously, i really thought he hates it.

Then he burst into this huge grin and laughed and laughed and wowwww and laughed and "This is so coooolllll!!" and laughed.

i was relieved.

Berlaku lah proses pembukaan riben dan kotak dan "Wowwwww..." and "i've been wanting this!!" and "It's shiny!!". He then examined the guitar, men-tune gitar itu, setting, bla bla bla whatever it is that guitarist do, then he played it. The sound is really music to my ears.

Happy Birthday, Bibib! Hope i bring joy and happiness into your life as you do to mine. Semoga dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki, dan diberi kesenangan oleh Allah.May you pass all your exams in flying colors.

LEPAS NI JANGAN MOODY-MOODY OK? KALAU STRESS, PEGI MAIN GITAR KUAT-KUAT TAPI SEDAP-SEDAP!

Nah, tengok pompuan ni memetik gitar. Ade gaya-gaya Hayley Williams tak?
