eh silap, WE are getting engaged.
fy-nah-ly huh.

but i'm actually quite surprised on how it feels.
i should have been very excited.
i was expecting for an overly excited me.
not this perasaan biasa-biasa me.

maybe because i've waited for so long.
and been waiting for this for years.

i've so many things in my mind before.
i want this, i want that.
i want this thing to be like this and that thing to be like that.
