went to yet another engagement... and in the end finally gave the other wedding invite i had a miss *blush*... but well... i didnt know the bride all that well anyways and basically just cldn't take it anymore! i wanna collapse but dun think i have the time! but in other (good... better... best) news... a certain someone finally surfaced after a certain time underground :P... so i'm off the hook to emcee next week (apart from videographing, videostreaming, videouploading, floor managing, music managing, and all managing yg sewaktu dgnnya) *huge sigh of relief* i mean i'm quite ok with the multi-tasking thing... panic-attacks once in a while with so so many things to be hinging on my teeny ol shoulders, but most of the time me thinks me quite positive me can manage... insyallah... i was very worried last night when S said i might have to emcee (this is why i die2 attend meetings workwise or otherwise... funny things otheriwse evolve in my absence! sheesh! but last nite was yet another nite there were too many things i have to attend to!)

also just realised that the wedding is just next weekend... so had to hastily shop for a present for the bride... haha...t hat went surprisingly fast considering cerewet-ol-me's not a yellow-gold fan... and remembered i dun have the prescribed blue dress yets! well... in theory i do, but it's still in JB not sure of works in progress! so went to hunt for one off the shelf... TKC was surprisingly uninspiring... then took a well-deserved break after solat @ arqam (where we also found a nice inspiring book for the wife-to-be) so went to JCC... and my fav boutique ummi shaika-zain's collection was closed!! *sob sob* was thinking of getting daddy a shirt... dashed were my hopes of sweet-talking the bro there for a discount as usual after spending so much(LOL... not being bimbo... just that they dun have a privilege card... so must remind him what loyal customers, me, sis and abg are to them haha) finally had to die-die look for smtg at RH... grudgingly tried on some navy-blue embroided stuff... but L was complaining abt how i always wear dark-dark stuff (it's practical!! and i'm supposed to be in the b/ground... aka attract as little attention as possible???) ... so the ever-so-helpful shop assistatant hunted down somthing for me... she miraculously found an XS... but in a very very cheery blue... short kebaya... and very unroomy kain... but since everyone (aka L and shop-asst) seemed so expectant... so had to try it... and well... was happier with it that i'd expect coz it fit me quite well (errr... maybe a bit too well... felt so conscious of what body-shape exactly it shows off... havent been exercising at all of late!!) actually was still leaning more towards the navy blue dress... and sensing my hesitancy the asst hunted down another dress... which was way too off-blue... and well... thinking thinking thinking (my ali mallmodh top sure had a LOT of buttons... but i like it!) then finally decided ok... since tis dress supposed to be backup (i'm not obliged to wear it for the dinner haha...) in case the JB one come through... since it's in navy-blue alreadi... i shall add more variety of colours to my wardrobe... ha!

then dropped by PBJ to get MY project-shop slingbag... finally juz got the boring ol navy blue one... dun feel like spending so much for a crumpler... nor did i have the energy to go town... got some casual tops for work (isnt it conincidental how my other casual tops seems to get washed out?? i tink mummy sneding a signal that she dun like me wearing those guy-jerseys... LOL... for sis, she used to hide tops she thinks are too tight or watever else for her...) tried to be more colourful since pple been commenting i'm tending more to the neutral2 colours... haha... actually it's more according to my time... when i wear a lot of black/navy... it's coz i dun have the time to find the more colour-coordinated stuff!

anyways... i finally got the "workbook" to the Baby Owner's Manual... thanks so much Nat dearest for getting it for me... hot off the warehouse shelves... :D insyallah this time around it'll reach the intended recipient before the baby grow up! LOL... btw it's for my most favourite kekandas in the wide wide world who are expecting their first baby/[ies] (or so abg hopes! :) if it's realli twins i think sis said smtg along the lines of he's going to be a house-hubby.. hehe) i'm so excited... especially when we were at the baby/mummy shops around suntec... it's just so fun... and although i've been "auntie" many many times over with all my much much older very married, very parental kuzzins, tis will be my 1st official niece/nephew! yays! give me some space to gush yah... i havent done any since we got the news a few weeks (or maybe it's been a mth plus now!) since we knew... now thinking of wat else i can get sis... planning in the back of my head to get either the cot or the tram & booster seat-set that bro n sis were eyeing... but that can be a few mths ahead... plotting to get sis a little gift every once in a while (sorta live 12 days 4 christmas hahah... but i'll do it maybe fortnightly)... these bks will be the first gift... i'm thinking of a top for the next instalment... but havent seen any cool tops... hmmm... i shall mull it over...
