1st Muharram will always be a day I hold close to my heart. Not just that it starts the new Islamic year (new record starts for us)...but also a nostalgic moment for me since 26th Mar 2001 (1st Muharram 1422H). On this very day, I did something I nvr thought I could, should or would do (errr..sounds like WHO DARES WIN...no?). I started wearing tudung!!! Big deal, u say? Yes, it was for me! Coz no one dreamt I wld take that step. In fact, 1 yr later, when I told my ex-flame, he was like "Madhuri wearing tudung?! I tot u said u'd nvr wear tudung?!"
Now, that's a lie, he misquoted me! What I used to tell him was that I don't see myself wearing tudung until maybe 5 yrs after marriage, enjoyed enuf, then wear tudung! Ok, ok, who the hell did I think I was rite?!? I was a naive arrogant idiot! Honest!
So for someone who used to go arnd denying wearing tudung (coz she's disillusioned by many tudung girls she sees...wear tudung, but behaviour sux!). For someone who wanted to cleanse her soul b4 wearing tudung...it took a tragedy in her life to realise that man proposes, God disposes! Before I realise it, it's coming to 5 yrs (exactly 5 Islamic yrs) since I wore tudung (the irony of it is: I'm still not married..haha..so much for my plan to wear tudung after 5 yrs of marriage!)!
So anyways, juz felt nostalgic abt today's Islamic date.
Life otherwise is as per normal, how it shld be. Fri nite, movie plan wif Roshni didn't materialise, coz no gd English movie showing (but our chilling out session wasn't bad). Mon, Nikky wasn't well, so the arcade plan also didn't materialise. Planned wif Wirza last nite that if there's no gd Hindi movie that's suitable for Shamim (4 yrs old) to watch, we'll go w/o the movie & bring Shamim to a game arcade instead since I didn't go. This morning, Wirza sms-ed to say she's down wif food poisoning & so can't make it. So that's my life! Life ho, to aisi! The surprise package is Nikky MSN-ed me to ask if I wanna lepak @ TM. So there u go...some things are best left unplanned. The best thing is, I'm supposed 2b taking my shower, pray & get ready to meet Nikky 1 hr from then, which is NOW! Gotta go...chao!
