Happy Belated New Year 2014

Well before I started on 2014, let me recap some of the major milestone just before I ended 2013.

2013 ended with me getting engaged, not to anyone that I have written earlier in this blog, but some that I met just after celebrating Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. It started a week before I met her, by which I added her through a mutual friend in FB. I ended the Istanbul trip without finding a future wife thus I had to act quickly in finding the one that I want to marry. So I put up the best picture that I took during my trip in Istanbul as my FB profile picture to lure any prospective girl to want me as a bf or even husband. Sound kind of desperate I know but the How I Met Your Mother season is ending and Ted almost find the mother, so the pressure is really on me. I really don't wan to revisit any of my old flames, since that did not work in the past, then why would it work now? So I have to start quick and fresh.

So as you guess, I did not work out with HI. Well, to be honest I did not really have any strong feelings towards her but she was OK in every way until I brought my parents to her house during Hari Raya for ziarah raya or open house visit. To our disbelief and towards my suspicions, HI came from a very poor family, her parents are from Indonesia (wow?), directly, meaning that her dad and her mom migrated to Malaysia before settling down in Malaysia and do odd jobs to support their children. They live in a squatted housing (rumah setinggan) made of perhaps used contenna box? Yup the house is really small and a bit crowded for even four people. Nonetheless, they treat us nicely but maybe a bit too nice (as my father put it as if they have known us for ages). There were so many to eat (i think they cooked a whole chicken just for us four people to eat). They even packed up foods to go. We were reluctant at first to bring home perhaps the only food they have for that night but her mother was such a persistent woman.

My parents did not favor me having a more serious relationship with her. So I began to pull away from her, little by little each day. Since I do not really fancy her that much, it was easier for me than for her. She was somehow devastated wanted to know why I was pulling away. I did not tell her much other than maybe we were not meant to be together. Little by little and at last, we finally stop contacting each other.

I did find someone through FB which I thought her profile picture is cute. We chatted every night and I found her to be quite similar to me in terms of how we think about things. Furthermore, she live quite nearby to me, about just 15 mins drive to her place. So decided, after a week of chatting, we should meet on a friday night after work at an Arabic Restaurant near bulatan Kg Pandan. It was 20th of September that I met this girl that shall be known as FHA. She is vogue and gorgeous, has a clear voice and to be quite independent. Somehow she was hinting that she needed someone to accompany her to her friend's wedding in Batu Pahat as she was the rightest bridesmaid. Having nothing to do on the weekends, and due to her charm, I somehow volunteered to be her escort for the weekends to Batu Pahat.

So the second meeting with her is a weekend get away to a place of 3 hours drive south. We started driving after maghrib as she had some work to do at the office. I was glad that she paid for my meals, for gas and tol. I had great times and enjoyed the experience with her. The only fall back I guess is that she is rather short but its ok i guess. She is not too short, in fact she is the same height as Hayden Panettiere.Well, I am glad, I ended year 2013 to be engaged with a wonderful girl as FHA. Today, we have confirmed on a date to get married. Awesome. The day will be the middle of 2014.HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014
