Exciting updates

Bonjour!

I know by now that no one really drops by to read the mundane things that goes about in my life, but that actually makes me far more comfortable ranting about whatever personal things that's been going on for my own personal records of happenings.

I am aware that its February and it's been a month+ of me not updating this dusty old thing, but I've been busy lately. Honest!

But nothing exciting really happened in January aside from me going back to Shah Alam for a couple of days to sit for my Insolvency II paper (which I am still nervously waiting for the results). Anyways, the S/O was in KL around that same time as well for some work related program and he took the effort to apply for a day worth of leave just so he could change his flight and fly home with me. So on 21st January, we boarded our first flight together and if I had to be honest, it was nice to not have to sit in a 2hour++ flight alone.

29th January was the highlight of the month tho. At 8.30PM on that day, the S/O and his family came over to my house to 'merisik'. Just to clarify things, merisik is actually a Malay tradition where the family of a guy comes over to meet the family of the girl that he intends to marry and the two families go through a process of getting to know each other better. Merisik was initially intended for a guy's family to ask the girl's parents if their daughter is still available or already taken and if she is still available, they ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of the guy. Its kinda like a proposal- Malay version. But since both our families are aware of our relationship and our exclusivity, the merisik thing was more of a formality and a platform for them to discuss things like when can we get engaged, how much the hantaran will be, etc.

So I can say that I am in a way "booked" by the significant other to be engaged. We haven't managed to decide on an exact date for the engagement yet, but we're getting there. I've been so busy these few days thinking about preparations for the upcoming engagement like picking out a theme colour and discussing dulang hantaran issues with the S/O. I've been on google so much lately looking for ideas that I'm starting to get headaches from staring at the screen for too long.

That's pretty much what happened within January 2017. I don't have much planned for February yet except for anticipating my exam results to come out on 17th February and then I need to prepare myself for the new semester. Maybe more exciting things will happen when I step into March because that's when the next semester begins.

Until the next update,
x's and o's
