Menyingkap kembali sejarah pertalian kita...

I don't often remember dates.
But memories stays in my heart forever.
This was during Qurban 1427H. Today was the first that i finally saw who 'Ustadz Ahmad Sodiqin' was. His name was often mentioned during our youth meets but i've never got the chance to see who he was. This day was the day i finally saw him. I was at the admin table during the first half of the day with Kak Yati. That was when he walked past wearing a rather shining maroon punjab. That look. i can't forget that look. (Uh-oh... I smell trouble.Oh boy... We're gonna have a lot of rouble working together). He didn't seem to like me at all. And i'm not prepared to give in just yet. So yeah... And i said to myself: Just don't start, cos as long as you dont, i wouldn't. And the rest of the day went well... And then, we have hijrah walk. I was one of the comm members for this event. Hence, a chance to speak to him.
This was the first i approached and spoke to him - 'You give your speech first, then we'll do the
groupings and then we can do the warm up already...'
'Ahh... K.' He replied.
Hmm... That was not so bad... :) Thumbs up!
I was also the medic on bicycles. I brought my dad along. That was when he shook hands with my dad and commented on my bike: Lawa bicycle...
'Eh biase jugak...' heh
Then we went our own seperate ways.





Not long after, he started to sit in our youth meets and he said he wanted to start a nasyid there. This is great. I've been wanting to start one but we had other activities to look into. So it was put on hold. until he brought it up again. So they got me t o assist him in this since i know the youth there better than he does sinde his new. I took charge og the ladies while Abg Rizal took charge og the guys. Then we had our first nasyid meet.

Our first show was up for Maulid.

We had fun. Lots of fun... ;)
Hmm... We, him and me, got into quite a few grudges during the trainings though. But heck... haha...Then we started to chat on MSN for nasyid stuff. That was how our conversations started. After the maulid's show, we had a retreat session. He treated us to Zam Zam.
We ordered a whole load of food and poor him had to pay everything... wakakkaka... I got us to thank him together. on purpose. haha. "1 2 3 THANK YOU USTADZ AHMAD SODIQIN!!!" hahahaha... that was funny. He was like blushing.






















Then we had a meet for our future shows. At first it was planned to be at Ubin. But i refused to go out of this island.In the end, we went to East Coast Park. By this time, we were quite good friends. The rest went off to ECP in the morning. My Brother and me met up with him after his work outside the mosque and we went to ECP together by bus.He wore brown! i was in brown to! Coincidently... hehe. Strange. Brown is not quite a commen colour? Anyway Bus 76. The first bus ride we had together. But then i refused to sit next to him. So i sat behind while he played on his PSP. Left is my first shot of him. (stolen shot) hehex. Occasional remarks. We over shot the stop, and had to wlk to the venue. A long walk, a long chat. Perempuan dgn baju... laen kan? kite je lah paham... hehex. We finally reached and all eyes were on us. Like i said before, there was nothing between us. The colour code was a coincident. I was busy playing with the rest of the youth, while my brother sat keeping him company. Well, they both aren't quite familiar with the rest of us hence they clicked well. Then we went out together for the first time. You called my dad to ask me out. ;) i reached and saw you behind the AMK MRT station doing you-know-what. We went to Raffles Place. I don't remember why Raffles Place but i remember us sitting on by the river. I remembered you talking to me and i didn't say anything at all. I did not know what to say. It was quite an awkward moment siting there with you for the first time, trying to create a conversation. Then you sent me to Yishun bus stop where my parents were.

Left is our first photo together. Then we went out a few times. leg kickings... We hit it off. But not in a relationship. We just have a pleasant friendship. Then he asked me out to tell me a few important stuff as he said it. But before that could happen, shit hap'ed. The world overturned. I heard the gun shots and the bombs. I saw ruins. Everything was all over the place. But we slowly picked up the bits and pieces from the ruins and slowly pieced them back together one by one. Painstakingly and patiently. And when everything was back together in a beautiful picture, we just got stronger. That was 30 April 2007. Took our time to get to know each other until 27 July 2007 when his dad called mine to say that they are coming on the Sunday, 29 July 2007. Untuk merisik meminang and tunang skali gus. :) This was news. Although it was short noticed, Alhamdulillah things went smoothly well... Since then, i was known as tunangan Ahmad Sodiqin.
Simple yet meaningful occasion. Had on a baju kurung mum and dad bought me, wore the big brooch he bought me, did my own simple make up.
That was my happiest day so far. :)
And this marks an important day in our history...
