What a weekend!

Boy this weekend flew by really quickly. My in-laws flew in on Thursday after I finished up the last of my duties at the GA office on campus. I rushed home at noon to clean up the house coz I had no time at all in the past 2 weeks to clean anything. Seriously, we had worn every single clothing we had, the bathrooms were starting to grow mold and mildew, there was an inch of dust on top of the dining table, the floor and the coffee table, and the fridge was filled with weeks-old food that needed to be thrown out. I scrambled to get as much cleaning as I could. The guest room had to be scrubbed, vacuumed, mopped as well as the guest bathroom. the kitchen was relatively clean coz that's the only room in the house that I can't let go too badly. It's too disgusting for me. Anyway, after scrubbing away, I realized I had to quickly go to the airport to pick them up. Luckily the in-laws are very understanding and I get along very well with them. Mum in law actually helped cook later that night. Hubby was helping out too, by attacking the laundry that was piling up. Our own bedroom though was a different story. It was in a complete mess! I literally shoved all the junk that was in the guest room into our own bedroom so we had tons of files, papers, bags and what-not.

Anyway, it was just nice having them around. My parents were unable to make the long journey from Malaysia to attend my graduation. At least I had some family here. The ceremony itself was great - it went off without a hitch, except apparently I walked too fast on stage that hubby said he couldn't get a picture of me. Yeah rite. This picture looks absolutely fine to me.


Anyway, the rest of the weekend was filled with antique shopping. MIL loves to shop for antiques. Kita ikut sajalah. Tak reti nak appreciate. All in all it was just a whole lotta fun. I'm just so happy that I managed to finish my masters and I have a job offer waiting for me. I really couldn't ask for anything more.

I kind of wish that my family could've come over to watch me graduate. At first I was OK with them not being around. But then the night before the ceremony I felt really lonely. I didn't have my really best friends around me to celebrate this achievement with. And I didn't have my own family either. They made up for it by sending roses the day of the event though. It was a really pleasant surprise.

Now that I'm back at home from sending the in-laws to the airport, it's back to normal for hubby and I. Now I gotta make sure I have all the necessary paperwork to proceed to the next chapter of my life.

I'm going to be a corporate lady! wooohoo! And maybe now we can think about having children? heeeeeeeeeeee
