he said yes

Daya and I have been busy so we haven't really been spending REAL time together. Most of the time, we meet about 2 hours just to work out or eat some McDonalds' together.

Things also have been rough for the past few days but we're good now. All I can say is that, things are getting better from here. Definitely.

Yesterday, we finally headed out to Lau Pa Sat and Bayfront to have some time together. Also, to plan on what to say to Dad because we wanna go on a trip together...

People have been telling me that my parents are not strict when I told others that they are strict. But trust me guys, they are. Especially Dad. He is strict and well, what luck, he has a stubborn daughter who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants.

I was soooooo nervous when I wanted to ask him for permission to go on this trip with Daya. I even had this urge to do a powerpoint presentation for him.

He asked me for details on the trip, who I'm going with, whether I'm sure I'll be safe because 2 anak dara going to a foreign country sounds so dangerous... the list goes on. He asked me so many questions, I swear it felt worse than going for a job interview.

Of course, I had everything under control. I practised it with my trusted buddy before I went home. And me being me, of course I had every answer to his annoying questions.

And today at about 9 p.m., he said YES. I swear it felt like I proposed to a guy for his hand in marriage and he agreed to marry me! 🎉

Right now, I'm in the midst of planning my trip. I don't know about you, but I'm hella excited! So many things I wanna do honestly, but that's not possible because time and budget constraint... I even wanted to add "bathing with elephants" into our itinerary.

May Allah SWT protects the two of us during this trip and we bring nothing but all the good things with us back home!

I know Dad is honestly so worried and that only means he loves me... He even jokingly told me that he would book a hotel opposite us to spy on us. Pretty sure he ain't joking tho. Dad I got this, you gotta trust your daughter.

My brothers are jealous because I got to go on a holiday with my friend and they kept saying how unfair it is I got this whole thing called "freedom" but really boys, you guys will get a taste of it soon. For now, let me play the mean sister role and flicks my hair in front of you guys. 💅🏼

Thank you Allah SWT for such understanding and loving parents, also for amazing friends around me.
