who won??who won?!!!...

Marriage…is a whole new world…some will describe it as a world of love & care, world of commitment & trust, some just refer to it as hell…(harsh, but true)

I…call it the World of Sports…why?

Goal…to be the best (wife/partner) to your spouse…(but most times, to be THE BETTER half...hehe)...

Coach …the 1st obvious point of reference: your parents…however, these days, you may have doubts with this...hehe...

Training…conducted DAILY for the rest of your life:

(Physical) : cleaning/cooking/laundry/and other upon-urgent-request stunt shows/performances (i'll leave it to your own imagination...haha...)…
(Mental): constant use of the brain in moments of “how-what-when-where-why- why-why-the-HELL-did-THIS-happen???”…

Challenge…taking control of the scoreboard…try NOT keeping scores…it is IMPOSSIBLE…

Opponent…of course, the other half…next: his brothers from a different mother…next: his hobbies…(and not forgetting: his dearest mommy)…

Highlights…needs no specific season or time…it could happen almost EVERYDAY without you realizing it…

Team Mates…ANYONE who’s in your ‘Top 5 Most Called/Most Txt-ed/Most Twitted’ list…(but however, bear in mind that at most times: YOU are ALONE in the game…

Best of Luck!

a vow?now??how???...

1 year, 6months, 20 days...

Exactly how long it has been since d day…the day I willingly (or did I?just joking, my love) jumped into the world of marriage…with a young man (more like a younger man) who I had fallen in LOVE with 7 years ago, in the land down under (yes, Australia – not anywhere else)...

“Aku terima nikah nye dengan RM20 tunaiiiiiii”…

And then…in a split second your whole world changes…

Firstly (and most obviously): Status: you are no longer SINGLE, you are MARRIED. (For the 1st few weeks/months, you may find yourself mistakenly ticking the wrong box when filling up the Personal Information section)

Secondly: EVERYTHING else changes…really…

And no matter how cheesy this may sound, the only thing that has kept me going (through the most beautiful AND insane moments of my married life), is LOVE…yes people, LOVE…

And to answer Mrs. Turner’s question of what’s LOVE got to do with it? : EVERYTHING Mrs. Turner…EVERYTHING…

BEING A WOMAN

Our species are special. We have been given the special 'body' parts that make us different and unique. Treasure those 'parts' and let beauty shine from within and let your brains and heart do the work. I know it's corny, but it's what the next generation; our daughters, and grand daughters need to hold on to later. Be a friend to your daughter. Tell her she is special, she is loved and she is a creation made by God to do good things in the future. And if she made a mistake, tell her she always has a place to turn to and she can be a better person.

Our future lies not in how much money we make in a month or a year, but how much good we have done to ourselves and others.

(I was thinking of my daughter and all those girls that get caught up in the material world today. It is a reminder for myself)

right button: disable / left button: snooze...

i hear the voices in my head every morning as the 'ring' goes off at 5.45am every morning...

"oh which one?which ONE???!!!"...(my thumb wriggles from left to right...a bit shaky)

"aiyo jeehan, just pick one lah"

"erm, ok...snooooooozzeeeeeeeeeee..."

DECISIONS...whether it is right or wrong, it really doesn't matter...we just keep having to make one...or more...everyday...for the rest of our lives...

make one today...a good one...try it...good luck!!!...

nasiii lemak!!!kuiiiihhhh, kuiihh!!!...

...yes, u are absolutely right : i am still facing the challenge...the 'aiyo-i-haven't-had-enough-of-mama's/ibu's/rookie's-whatever-dish' challenge...

actually, a thought swished across (my already soggy brain) : do you remember those days??...when you'll find a young boy/girl from a nearby kampung...walking around your 'taman'...with a small basket...filled with 'em yummylicious breakfast goodies cooked by dear mommies in their homes in the wee hours of morning trying to make a decent extra income for their family?

...nasi lemak packed in 'daun pisang', the famous malay pastry 'karipap', 'kuih koci'...(erm, i am assuming only those born before the 90's could answer this)...

most of all, do you remember how much they cost??? ...as i can recall, the highest it will go is '3-singgit' (3 for RM1)...

i find myself smiling (and actually feel my heart jump a little) when i hear that phrase nowadays...

...oh those were the days...

ok, i'll start tomorrow lah...

yes, people...procrastination is my middle name...

before i proceed, i would really like to make it very very clear that i am not totally responsible of this habit of procrastinating to reach that goal of achieving the ideal weight...(although i am also very proud to admit that i am not the blame-everybody-else-for-everything's-that's-happening/happened/going to happen-to-me person)...

the problem is...ok, let's not use words that bring negative connotations...the CHALLENGE that i face is : besides having the undeniable loving and caring nature any human being could resist, there are 3 people in my life who cooks like NO ONE..and i repeat: NO ONE can!!!...tsk...tsk....tsk...my heart says nooooo..but my tummy says yeahhhhh!!!!!...

...mama, ibu, farouqie...I LOVE YOU!!!

(*burp*)

wet wipes,anyone?...

an ol' friend's recent status on facebook said: I AM A HUGE FAN OF WET WIPES! (she's a young mother of a handsome young boy, and most likely a huge fan of brad pitt...who had admitted that he too, is a fan of the miraculous wipes as it "solves a lot of problems")

and now...4.45am on a saturday...as i rummage through the dark for one of the worlds greatest invention, in respond to the 1-300-Diaper-Change hotline, i start to think of how wonderful life would be if what brad said is true...

congratulations mr.button, now you've got me really curious!

click,click,click...

ok...

it's almost 10 minutes of typing, deleting, typing, deleting...and typing again...

the coffee is cold, the angel is asleep, the other half pursuing his passion...and here i am, in bed, with this thing called a laptop, on my lap, literally... technology...yes, there's no doubt that mother nature is pleased that trees are not at stake now..as compared to centuries ago where writers tear heaps of sheets of paper struggling to write creatively...but then again, mother nature is super-fabulously happier then.

(ok, little angel was awaken by the continuous clicking...hence it was only fair that her mother, yes me, feed her and put her back to bed)...

where was i?...hmmm...more like where am i?...a question i have been always told to ask myself...whether it may be spiritually, emotionally, mentally...sadly, most people (yes, u too) have no answer to that question, or if you do, you are not very pleased with the answer...and sadly, i sometimes find myself belonging to all categories all at once!beat that!!...

have we all got long enough to find the real answer?...or has the answer been there right in front of you and you didn't have a clue!...

our next mission people: find out where we are!!!...what happens next?...now that, you have to figure it out...
