Goodbye 2008



Its hours to 2009.
Its scary how time passed by so fast.

I have 2 more days of lesson planning to be done for week 10 (which is still a long way to go) so i tot i'll type out one last entry for 2008.

Looking back over 2008, i went through a whole lot.

To be honest, 2008 wasn't kind to me.

First, i had major family drama.
Which of course, i wont elaborate.
Whats the point?

Then came my health.
It has been a bitch.
After seeing countless doctors, after visiting many hospitals, after spending thousands of dollars, i was diagnosed with TB.
Yes, i am still recuperating.
The last visit to the doctor went well.
The X-ray shows that my lungs do not swell that much anymore comparing to previous scans.
Alhamdullilah.
I am still nursing nausea though.

I lost friends in 2008.
That too, i wont wanna elaborate.
Lets just say, its much much better this way.
I know who my REAL friends are.
Those who were there for me during my downest moments, who picked me up whenever i fall, moments.
I really dont need friends just for the sake of happy moments.
I dont need friends who are hypocritical towards one another.
I really dont.

I went through a lot of bad times this year.

I vividly wanna remember the good things that happened this year, the first one being, the BF.
He is the best thing that has happened to me the whole of this year.
He is the friend that is always there for me.
He is forever and always be my juke box.
He is my confidante.
He is my shoulder to cry on.
He is and will always be the one who loves me for me despite whatever sickness of indifference that i have.
And i am thankful that he chose me.
I know i am in good hands.
I know he will take care of me.
I know he will help me if im in need.
I know he will always pamper me.
I know he completes my life.
I know, for once, that he is the guy i want to marry.
And for the fact that both set of parents are agreaable that we wanna get married, im grateful.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude coz im so thankful that we got together.~

Rizq Aryff is the second best thing that has happened to me.
Another handsome boy that captures my heart with his oh-so-sweet smile.
He loves me bouncing him up and down.
He chuckles and smiles whenever i wink and pretend to kiss him.
Don't grow up too fast ok baby boy?!

I have quite a number of new year resolutions.
One: To stay healthy and be cured from my illness.
Two: To continue saving $$$ for 2010.
Three: To lose weight! (Because of certain people commenting that im fat! Although, Bf's mum said yesterday that im halus. Take that sucker!)
Four: To spend more time with HSCB coz i just missed them oh-so-much.
Five: To have a much less drama life.
Six: To have a good working environment with colleagues, students and parents. Less OT please. Considering that we dont have allowance for OT.
Seven: To stop being a procrastinator. I really have to improve on that one.

I really hope 2009 gets even better than 2008.

Photobucket

With that, goodbye 2008, hello 2009!

Just for the record, ive counted down Maal Hijrah days ago so i dont see the need of counting down again, tonight.

Pissed off!!!



Ok, im pissed off.

I dont know if u can tell, but i am so so pissed off.

I know i said i wont blog till i finished the lesson plans but i just cant help it lor.

People just tend to run their mouth without even thinking whether they are being sensitive to other's feelings or not.

See, i KNOW ive been gaining weight.

I just dont see the need of people telling me.

Like what the heck.

I dont think you need to lor.

Why isit that when i lost a lot of weight during my post hospitalisation leave, no one said a thing and when i gained a few pounds, everyone starts talking.

Like seriously lor, nothing better to talk about eh?

I went for my routine checkup at CDC with boyfie this morning.

Yes, i gained 2.3 kg.

I complained and bf, as sweet as ever, said i looked much much better now rather than kurus2.

And him being the super nice bf planned a diet meal for me which i planned to stick to starting from Wednesday.
(cause we planned to meet up for brekkie at LJS and then cycling tomorrow)

So, if i were to lose that weight again, i wonder if mouths are gonna start running again.

Hmph.

This blog is getting too much publicity lately.
Maybe, just maybe, i should start to privatise it, what do ya think?

Say goodbye~



Im gonna try to squeeze in as many ramblings and peektures as possible cause i wanna say goodbye.

Not gonna be the last entry for the year though.

Im just going on a hiatus for a week or so.

Dedicating myself to lesson planning.

Its no joke.
School is starting soon.

The 2 days spent with the gfs have been awesome.
I had endless laughter and chatter.
Two days (maybe 3 if me n bf are going again) straight of bowling.
Which i think i am getting better.

For the first time of my 23 years, i managed to score more than 100 ok. And i lost to bf by a mere 8 points. =p

Enuff said, let the peektures do the talking.

Photobucket

Ever wondered how dyna carter came about?
Well, it all started 2 years ago when an ex colleague of mine called me dyna.
A nickname she came up with cause she said when typing my name via sms is a hassle.
See my name is DIYANA. So she cancelled abit here and there and then you have DYNA.
Which kinda grew on me.

What about carter, you ask?

Well, ever since i was in primary school, which was like more than a decade years ago, ive always fancied Nicholas Gene Carter.
And i always dreamt of marrying him. So i will get his last name ryte.
*giggle*

So that was how DYNA CARTER started.

Back to my entry.
Tuesday started with me n dida waiting for the others at e-hub.

Where did we go?

Escape theme park!

We had a blast taking the rides. The best being, screaming our way through the haunted house.
SOme peektures for viewing, perhaps.

Photobucket

We started with only 5 cause Ain had to work.
First ride was the Viking.
Oh my goodness, i swear to god i was shaking like crazy.
Im so terrified of all these rides, ok.

I confess.
Even when darling bf pushed me on the swing and it got even higher, i was screaming to bf to get me down.
And then the viking - no bf to bring me down.
I cant possibly shout and scream to the person to stop the viking can i?

Photobucket

The go-karts was awesome.

But my all time favorite was going through the haunted house.
Marhaini was grabbing my waist and pulling me.
I was terrified as well but was so trying to be brave la of course.
It didnt help that it hurt and i couldnt walk properly with someone holding on to me like that.

Terrified as i was, i was the last one of the group to walk in.
We huddled together and noisily, and i mean really noisily walked through.
As we neared the exit, someone tapped on my shoulder. (i did mentioned i was the last one right)
We screamed and dashed out. And then started telling each other what happened.
Apparently, someone tapped on Yana's shoulder as well.

We were on most of the rides before meeting up with Ain for dinner.

Photobucket

Ain, dida and marhaini.

Photobucket

fareez, dyna and yana.

The table was full of food.
Everyone was almost done but i was the last one to stop eating.
Gosh!~
Theres no wonder im gaining all these unnecessary weight.

After dinner we had another activity next.
What did we do?

Photobucket

Endless laughter was shared here.
Cheering and dancing for one another.

Needless to say, the day was successful.

We shall go karaoke-ing and then wild wild wet soon yea darlings.

Photobucket

The non identical twins headed back after an enjoyable day.

The next day was uber fun as well.

I met up with the ladies and had lunch at...

Photobucket

My lunch companions?

Photobucket

sweetheart trisya and gorgeous nadya.

and...

Photobucket

darling ana.

Who is that girl next to her, you may wanna ask?

Im telling you , i was the least photogenic of the lot yesterday.
It must be the curls.

As usual, after every meal, off to Starbucks for our catching up session.

Photobucket

Thank you for the gifts, darlings.

Right after our drinks, i headed straight to Marina to meet darling bf.
And guess what we had?

Photobucket

Ya allah!~
Mana la aku tak gemuk.
I kip stuffing myself, so there no reason why im gaining so much weight!
Gosh!

I just have to post this up.

Photobucket

Bf looked so cute here lor.
*giggles*

How we ended the day?

Photobucket

The movie, Nana Tanjung 2 and my monthly dosage of Cleo at the comfort of my dining room.

Works, as always.

I think i have just ended a story here.
I have to go and get ready.

Bf texted me saying that he's gonna bring me bowling.
Yayness.

Till i blog again, after i finished my lesson plan.
Take care and Merry Xmas to those celebrating.

Yok gi jb!



The holidays are drawing to an end.

Ive been having so much fun lately that ive been neglecting my lesson plans.

But as usual, me being the a procrastinator, i tend to do things last minute. :p

I will prolly finish it up Wednesday onwards. Why?

Cause i made plans to go out with my darlings.
Today with the pri sch gfs.
We are going karaoke-ing baybeh!
And tomorrow with nadya and ana.
Insyallah.

Today and tomorrow is a must cause i havent seen these bunch for a very very long time.

Anyhoos, i have been having fun lately and yesterday was like no other.
The day started as early as 6!

Cik Yah and family, including, me, bro, mama and darling bf headed for JB.

We started off with breakfast at Singgah Selalu. The roti prata super syiok lah.

Photobucket

Cik Yah and family.

Photobucket

Mama and bro.

Photobucket

Couple in stripes!
Im glad you're loving the tee hubby baby. :)

Photobucket

The ladies.

Photobucket

The great company.

And after going round and round in JB, we decided to have our lunch at A&W.
Provided we find it lar.
And with help from Adek, Cik Dal finally brought us to A&W.

Photobucket

Me and yuyu, most excited. =p

The waffle and root beer was awesome.
My coney dog was disappointing though.
1901 coney dog in SG is much much better.

Photobucket

I simply cant decide which one is more delish.
Bf or the curly fries?
Hehehe.

Photobucket

See you soon a&w bear.
You cant count on it!

ehem.. :p



Ive been having cravings for mac and cheese at swensens and i finally got it yesterday.

But guess what, it was a total disappointment lor.

Thankfully, my strawberry sundae made up for it.

Yesterday, i treated mum and bro to swensens.
We headed to bugis as i wanted oh so badly to get the escada moon sparkle.
And get something for boyfie and maybe shop a little.

But.. i came out of bugis, empty handed and disappointed. :s

Mama, on the other hand, got herself pampered by yours truly.
She bought, no scratch that, i paid for her bag and pouch.

Tsk tsk.

Well, hopefully i will get my stuff at Tampines today as me and ija are going shopping! Weeeee.
*excited mode on*

So i had a conversation with mum yesterday at Swensens while i was waiting for the bill.

Me :Ma, Nana dengan Taib serious tau.

Mama: Ya la, korang da matair kan.

Me: And we plan to settle down tau.

Mama Ah then start save duit.

Dan was covering his face and was laughing la ok.
Ish ni budak!~

So, so, now Mama and Ibu ( his mum ) knows our intention and that we have their blessings.

Weeee.

I am excited la ok.

I texted my best friend and my BFFs and told them to get ready to be the bridesmaid.

And when i called Bf after his afternoon shift, my first words were, " Hubby, we are so getting married."

*giggles*

Insyallah.

Puke



Its been 4 months or so that ive been diagnosed with tb.

Im not sure bout how many people know that im sick but tell you the truth, right till this very moment, i still quite cant accept the fact.

Everyday, having to pop the pills in is such a chore.

But, no matter how yucky it was everytime, i'd still down them in cause, number 1, i wanna get well. number 2, i wanna get married :p and number 3, i dun wanna spend my money on my med bills anymore. Cause like i said, i wanna get married.

Operation of saving $$$$ for 2010 has started.
I mean, it started early January 2K8 but at the rate im going, with med bills and all, its gonna take quite a while.

Back to the med topic.

I have to down 8 ills every single day and like all medications, they have their side effects.

Alhamdullilah.

I only have one side effect that i have to endure. And this i have been enduring for the past 4 months.

Nausea.

Truth be told, i am trying to hold it in.
Its hard not to gag when you just pop the pills in.

You know at times, i will ask myself what would hapen if i missed a medication for the day.

Then i started reading, from the internet of course, that if i ever missed a day of medication, the tb bacteria will be resistent to the drugs and i will not get well.

*sigh*

Alhamdullilah, ever since day one, i have not missed any medication BUT whenever its time to pop dos pills in, my throat automatically goes haywire.

I have a blood test and xray on the 26th and TCU on the 29th.
Hopefully the results are good news so that i wont need to pop the pills in anymore.

Just so you know, swelling on my neck is down and the wound looks much much better than before.

Pray that i will get well yea.

=)

23





We have turned 23!

Update:
I editted this entry earlier for more juicy updates but IE has to restart on me.
So now, i have to start all over but than i forgot what i typed so you guys just have to make do with whatever that comes into mind right this very moment.

My birthday afternoon saw me on my bed, hugging my bolster and crying.
Why?
Cause, Bf said he had to work.
And that he didnt make any effort to pull out from it, neither did he plan or initiate any outing.
I, was infact, devastated.

Thus, i was moody and gloomy.
It was untill me and my family reached Gourmet Carousel at Royal on Scotts.
Guess who was sitting on the chair waiting comfortably?

Photobucket


Bf and adek. (dida's bf)


I was shocked, of course.
Bf said the look on my face is priceless and that he should have snapped my picture.
Too bad you didnt!

So, i cheered up almost immediately when i saw his handsome face.
And best of all, my eyes lit up when i saw this.


Photobucket


Now, what could that possibly be?


Photobucket


Me, being so excited, opening it up.


Photobucket


A diamond necklace.
Heart shape, at that.
Its blur, though.


Photobucket


Thank you so much, darling bf!

We were surprised by staff of Carousel belting out a special birthday song for us.
(which ive uploaded in my multiply)

Photobucket

We all enjoyed it, except, Bf. Bluek.

Photobucket

The day ended very well, all thanks to...

Beloved Mama who was the planner for the surprise.

Did you realise someone's missing?
Just saying.
