5 minutes and never a title

It's been close to a month now that I've been married. And I haven't been blogging much since. Haven't got that much time on my hands actually. Being married really does take away ones time. Sometimes when I think back about it, I do miss those carefree days of going back from work and just laying my ass there on my bed - and later turning on my PC and watching some newly downloaded episodes of Lost or movies.

Aahh..those were the days.

But enough of my ranting for now, let me just write what happened during the days I was away.


The honeymoon
-------------

Me and my significant other went to Indonesia for our honeymoon . Spent a couple of days at Bukit Tinggi, and later Padang.

Our flight departure from Malaysia was on Sunday 2 weeks ago, at around 7:50am. You know people normally would get up early and get to the airport a couple of hours earlier than that time - but as the story goes, we actually woke up from our slumber at around 6:15am (thank you Pak Erwin for the wake up call). Pak Erwin was our chauffeur for the day. Hadn't he gave that call, we would've happily continued sleeping and eventually missed the flight to our honeymoon.

You can imagine how our face looked like when we woke up. And kudos again to Pak Erwin for his skilled driving on that fateful morning. We manage to get to LCCT in quite a record time from our home in Sepang. Luckily we stayed in Sepang.

From then onwards everything was smooth sailing I guess. Sleep depraved, we managed to drag ourselves from Malaysia all the way to Bukit Tinggi. The first thing we did upon checking into Gran Malindo was get to bed. It was quite overdued.

We spent around 3 days there. Most of the times we get around places by walking, or getting an "angkut". Sometimes though we fetched a "kerete kuda".

If you like serene environment and laid back places - this is your place. There's nothing much here, the night life is next to nothing, and the only shopping complex available here (the Ramayana) is so-so. Food is easy to get - the majority of the people here are Muslims. Padang cuisine is great. I didn't indulge myself to it though due to monetary reasons.

For dance music lovers, Padang would suit you nicely. For just Rp 2000, you could enjoy a bumpy ride with loud music. And when I say loud, I really meant loud. Like the woofer could damage your heart kinda loud. Owh yeah - you pay that Rp2000 to the "angkut" driver.

There's a lot of things I would wanna mention in this blog back then - if only I brought my laptop then. Now though...I don't feel like blogging much. Some terms do get stuck in my head though. Terms like "anti mati gaya" (a 3G ad), "gratis", "kelok 44", "makasih", "ngak apa"...


Back home
-----------

If only we could have that one weekend where we could just relax and ease our minds off. Currently our days are filled with work, the nights filled with cleaning/beautifying/buying something for the house, and the weekends...well lets just say we never had a weekend for ourselves just yet. This coming weekend - we're gonna have Ah Hoe come in and build us a kitchen cabinet, so that I guess is another weekend down the drain.

Bummer.

At last, we're finally tied the knot.

Currently we're busy preparing for a lot of stuff. Cleaning the house and all that.

For now though, here are some pics from our photographer Shasmanizam.
