A long long year

Its been a really really long time since my last posting and so much has happened!!! I switched jobs (again!!) and Faisal left for Jakarta... it's amazing how the distance actually strenghtened our marriage... guess we both took each other for granted before.

Fai left for Jkt on 6th November, shortly after Hari Raya and I guess it was hard for him to adjust at first being away from us that he had to come back less than a month later! The second trip was so impromtu that he tricked me into believing that he wanted to speak to me on the phone and when he called, he was right outside my door!! We even started saying 'I Love You' again... and never had a chance before to say 'I miss you' but now its almost a daily affair!! We both never said it before because we see each other daily and saying it would sound so fake .. we were too practical to be hypocrites..

On my birthday in January, I flew up with the kids & mama for 5 days and the kids had a blast even though they were stuck at the hotel at night with barely any toys... had my birthday dinner at the Al Noufra at Meridien and had a good time just talking..

I can't believe I'm 29!! and next year will be my BIG 3-0.. Leaving was such sweet sorrow.. part of me loved the fact that I'll miss him but part of me long for him to be here by my side.

March 2nd I flew up again on my own this time for TLC... he booked Meridien for the 2 nights and i was pleasantly suprised that it was run down as i had expected.... i mean its not like the Dharmawangsa (www.the-dharmawangsa.com) nor Villa de Daun (www.villadedaun.com) but it was nice..

Spent my first night having the ayam lunak with telur asin then just chilling at the hotel. 2nd day was a total shopping spree!!! Bought the kids tons of clothes & topped up on the meds... we meant to go out for a nice dinner that night but he actually suggested going to Man U Cafe just cuz he had to watch Liverpool play Man U.. They lost obviously but we ended up going back to the hotel and eating Komalas!!!

Of all things! I bought him a new pair of Ray Bans.. just to surprise him and to thank him for booking me the hotel... during part of our conversation he asked if i mind wearing a bigger diamond ring *hint hint*.. man!! it's like asking me if i liked a Kia car to a Porsche!!! Well... no pressure but he offered ..so lets see if i can get that 1 carat ring on my finger by August...ehehhehe..
