The day we turned 3

Some of you might know Zahir and I celebrated our 3rd year anniversary last Friday. I was looking forward to that day and when it came, I was excited but nervous at the same time. I had everything planned out months before. I even seek for help and ideas from some friends and ended up making a scrapbook/journal for him and decided to make pancakes for him for breakfast!

I started the journal a month before and yet I still had to complete it last minute due to my hectic life, though I don't really know what I filled my time with. I didn't study and I haven't even completed my assignments. And I had to skip class the day before just so I could finish the journal in time. I locked myself in my room the whole day. I didn't even get up to eat and every part of my body were aching but I was determine to finish up the journal that day since I have a lot more to do after that. Looking up how to make Chocolate Chip pancakes on YouTube, making the photo collage board.. Thursday was really, and I mean, REALLY hectic day for me. I started the journal from early morning and finished up by dusk. There were just too many pages and too much to write and too many photos to put up!!

I wanted to do the scrapbook by my own bare hands.. until I saw this.

This journal is just so adorable, I couldn't resist! So I decided to buy it though I was worried Zahir will think I'm getting lazier for these kind of things because I used to make handmade cards for him a lot. Reena suggested to make the cover different so that it will show my effort that I put in to make this journal. Brilliant! :D

It became like this! I don't know about you, but I just love the bling letterings! I was so satisfied that I had to resist patting my own back :p I know it does look a little bit off here and there, but that's the point. That shows how hard and how much effort I put in to make this. Of course, there's a lot more inside, but I'm not going to let you puke by looking at all the romantic side of me. What with all the photos and the speech I wrote in there.. *blush*

After the journal, I made the photo collage. Thank God it wasn't hard to make. It took only 10 minutes to do it. I went to the kitchen straight away to start on my ice cream cake. The cake turned out pretty good, I must say. Sadly I didn't have any photos of it :( After the ice cream cake, I prepared the ingredients for my Chocolate Chip pancakes to cook the next morning and went to sleep. Or you might as well call it a nap. Because I swear, it felt as if like only slept for 2 hours! When my alarm woke me up, I saw the clock and realised that I didn't sleep for 2 hours. It was 3 hours. But like it or not, I had to get up and start on my pancakes because Zahir's fetching me up at 6.30am for our Hot Air Balloon in Putrajaya. The pancakes turned out pretty well too, Alhamdulillah.

Fara and Nazrin tagged along too the next morning to the Hot Air Balloon. We went out of the house wishing we could be all romantic flying up together in the basket-thing, but we were late, tickets were sold out :(

That night, Zahir invited me to his house for dinner (with his family around, of course). I had the shock of my life that night!! After 3 years of being together, I just found out Zahir has a hidden talent : Cooking. I had the hardest time to accept the fact that my boyfriend is a better cook than me. He cooked Fetuccini Carbonara and the best brownies I ever tasted for dessert. If you're a big fan of desserts like I am, you'll be begging on your knees, asking Zahir the recipe of his brownies. As for me, I couldn't be bothered by the recipe because I'm too lazy to bake and I know I can just call Zahir to bake one for me :p

That night ended perfectly, with a hand made card from him.

And my favorite part of the card is the messages that can be pull out from the green compartments!

That day was so magical!!!! But I woke up the next day with a sore throat, runny nose and a fever -___-
