Lovely Ladies

What do these two have in common? Let's see:

1. Out of this world gobsmackingly gorgeous. Must be those eyes...
2. One half of top celebrity couples (although I do not quite see Abhishek's appeal - his dad's got way more charisma than he'll ever have).
3. Successful actresses in their own right.
4. I have girl crushes on both of them.
5. I wish I could look like them.
   
   

Erra Fazira marries Engku Emran - Pt 2

As promised, some photos from the akad nikah last Thursday night. No photos of the bride and groom though - there'll be plenty of those in the mags and other websites.

Flower arrangements at the restaurant create a garden woodland atmosphere.

Gifts for the guests. Instead of the customary bunga telur, each guest received a kitab (book of Islamic teachings) in a lovely gift box.

The pelamin (wedding dais). However there was no bersanding ceremony so the pelamin just acted as a backdrop for the occasion. I love the concept though - very traditional, just the way I would have liked it.

Erra Fazira marries Engku Emran

So, Malaysia's (formerly?) most popular actress has remarried, this time to a COO of a radio station. Hopefully this will last longer than her previous marriage to fellow singer-actor Yusri KRU.

The akad nikah (solemnisation ceremony) took place Thursday night, at a restaurant co-owned by former actress Rubiah Suparman and film producer/lyricist Habsah Hassan. Since Mak is friends with the restaurant owners, and she has also met Erra Fazira there on several occasions, she somehow managed to get herself an invitation to the event.

For 'official' photos of the ceremony, see here. My mum took some photos as well, but for the past couple of days I've been having problems uploading photos on Blogger. Tengoklah hari lain.

Na nana nana 'Ganu Kite!

For the next three days I have to attend a technical course on Instrument Installation and Maintenance in Kuala Terengganu. Everytime I tell my Principal Engineer I still have this course (and two more) to attend before I can be considered for a promotion, I do it with a wry smile. He thinks these courses are a joke, I tell him I don't know what three days can teach me that three years at site can't. But it's still compulsory for me to go, and I'm not complaining of the break it's given me off my current project.

I'm typing this from the KLIA Departure Hall, which I found out from Hubby has free wireless internet. My flight isn't till 4.30 pm, so I have a good 15-20 minutes before I have to make dash for it. I'd already checked in at KL CAT, so when I got here at 3.00 pm all I had to do was have lunch at McDonald's. A Filet-O-Fish, Mcnuggets and milkshake set me back RM17.20! Scandalous!!

I had planned to leave the office earlier, but those demmed CTR's held me back. That's the problem with doing a good job as an underling in the first place - when something needs changing or fixing, your superiors just refuse to do it themselves! And it's not so difficult to do. A Cost-Time-Resource sheet isn't exactly Rocket Science.

Anyway, there's a bloke sitting across from me who looks suspiciously like Zahid from AF2 (remember him? His moment of glory may have been shortlived, swallowed by the force that's Tsumawi). I can't be too sure cos he's got his sunnies on (only celebrities trying to evade the public wear sunnies in shady spots like the KLIA Post office). There's another bloke with him (no sunnies this one) and they're both wearing these matching white sneakers with cartoon graffiti all over. I was so tempted to go over and ask for his autograph so I can give it to one of the girls back at the office who is a self-confessed Zahid fan, but I guess I'll respect his attempt at privacy and pretend not to notice the bright loud t-shirt. Oh, he's just walked off, so that's it then.

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get to the training site from my hotel tomorrow. The lst time I attended a course there was like 5 years ago, and then they provided a bus that actually picked us up from the hotel. I'd have to call up the course coordinator to ask him. I'd need the site address too if I have to make my own travel arrangements.

I'm really sleepy right now. My brain is not quite functioning. Zahid's back (?)

This post is going to read like rubbish.
