A day off of my married life

Recently, Love and I had a conversation on "The power of letting go". Since, we sometimes encounter situations where I wanna be alone, he wants me to follow him for futsal. He wants to stay in the office, I want him to come home early, so we deciced to take a day off of being a husband and wife last Friday.

Taking "the power of letting go" for the best of us. :)

His idea of single life was going jamming with his friend.

My idea of single life was to be all by myself doing things i love.

I went for a spa in the morning. Then, shop for kuih raya in Alamanda. Learned to cook ayam masak kicap and kangkung belacan from mum. Learned to cook Korean pancake from mum-in-law. Clean our room and toilet sampai berkilat. And later in the evening and the whole night.. working! Loser gile!! But I have to, else I won't enjoy my raya.

Love thought it was funny, whatever I was doing on our day off. He insisted to send me anywhere I want to go to lepak with my friends, but I don't like going out while fasting. It's tiring. Plus, I barely had time to do all the stuff mentioned above whenever he's around. Because we always have plans.

My friend thought I was crazy to allow him to have a day off like that.

But I think both of us needed that every once in a while.

He messaged me when he arrived at his friend's house, "Sayangku!! Weee!! I dah sampai rumah A*** dah k? Muahhhh!! Love u sayang!! U're the best wife a husband could ask for tau!! Weeee!!! Love u!!"

See.. I beleived when u let go.. both of u can come back and love each other even more.

Like a holiday break.

U're more energetic to work after your break, aren't u? (Ok, at least for me.)

Date night

Sometimes, when some people got married they became.. well.. no longer exciting! They just "disappear" and that was not what we wanted our marriage life to be.

We want to have as much fun as we want, and not using the word marriage as an excuse, but using it as even more reasons to have fun.

Due to that, we happily said "yes" whenever our friends asked us to hang out with them. We went to sahur all the way to PJ at 3 am with Sir, we went through a heavy traffic to buka with our friends after work at KLCC, we had so much fun.

But last week, we realized, we hardly go out together anymore. Just the two of us. On a date, like we always did before married. Always pun with friends or family and if just the two of us, went shopping for groceries. How not flattering!!

So, we decided to go out on a date night, buka puasa together, at Alamanda je since it was the eve of Nuzul Quran, we were expecting traffic to be heavy. BUT both of us got so excited with the idea (sounds pathetic, huh?) that for that two days, our messages would always end with "So excited to go out with you on Thursday!!!"




And dinner was super fun. Just the two of us. Reminiscing on how fun we were, those days after SPM, working as waiter and waitresses in restaurant like this.

Then, we were wondering what to do, when Love came up with a brilliant idea, "Let's go to Arcade!!"

Hahahahaha. As funny as it sounded, we spent a lot of exciting times playing games in tha arcade before we were married. Of course, I think that we were the only married couple there who played laser gun like nobody else's business there.

I don't feel like we're married at all until..



He went to pay zakat for the first time for me.

Snapped back into reality. This is how married life, anyway.. That one simple ordinary date that you had before you're married is the one you really asked for after you're married. So for those yang belum kahwin, do enjoy the moment where you wonder, "What to do this weekend? Same thing, same place, same stuff?"

Love was gloomy the other day. Work pressure.. So, I googled at weheartit and found this..

And decided to make this for him!!

A date with gorgeous

I received a very exciting phone call this morning.

A dear colleague of mine asked for some help in babysitting her baby since she had to attend a meeting and her babysitter was on leave.

I was so psyched!!!

I mean, how often can you see a baby in your office, ryte?

So, anyway, I'm lucky to have my own room, and I have my pillow and comforter and a teddy bear ready by the time he came, I thought that was sufficient enough for him to play and sleep.

But, he refused to sleep without me carrying him around. So, a bit of jazzy music, rocking the chair and off he went to sleep..

Such a beautiful beautiful angel. Adorable. Like a doll!!!

Thank you ye Dr., for letting your baby stay with me, it made my day.

Sate kepala ikan keli

In my in law's house, we hardly get to gather everyone together for makan time.

The reason is because brother in law and us are not staying there, so I always psyched when we get to gather everyone together. Hehe.

Look what we have on the table!!

So many food!! We still have some Korean soup and rice in the kitchen. Tak muat meja makan. Hehe.

Of course my favourite was Kimbap!! My mother in law made this herself. If you're just following my blog, my mother in law is Korean, by the way.

And Love's favourite was none other than..



Sate kepala ikan keli. Hmm.. Yummy!!

Ok, obviously if you buy that, you really don't know Love and I that well ;p Hehe.

Melancholy

Woke up feeling so melancholy..

Was it because.. *check my clander*, not yet..

Was it because the message i received this morning from BFF Qdin? Sigh.. i hate long distance..

Was it because of what Shameem told me the other day?



"The first time you saw Kaabah, that was the nicest feeling in the world, and you just cried".

Or was it because of the dream I had last nite, on how I ended up marrying another guy but my husband..

Gosh that was scary!!

Yet I took it as a reminder on how blessed I am to have someone so different from me as my partner. So different, yet we have that mutual understanding. Alhamdulillah.

As for now, teringin SANGAT nak tengok Kaabah..

California Pizza Kitchen!

I am not a big fan of Pizza.

For years, the top two worst pizzas in my list WAS from California Pizza Kitchen and Yellow Cab.

So, I wasn't that psyched when my friends asked me to break fast at California Pizza Kitchen yesterday. A few years back, I celebrated Love's birthday there, and god, the pizza tasted so bad.. and expensive!!

But yesterday changed EVERYTHING. There was 9 of us, and we took the Ramadhan set, with 2 pizzas, Fettuccini, Bolognaise, Shanghai Noodels, Miso salad, Thai salad, 10 drinks and 10 ice creams!! Costs us RM 26 each, which according to Dian, "is a dream come true in California Pizza Kitchen" and the pizza was not that bad!! I mean, not yummy, but definitely not that bad. But the salad and pastas are just awesome!!


When it was time to take a group photo, we asked one of the waiter to take a picture of us, the angle is from our left hand side, but since Jep sat at the most left, his picture became too small.

I decided to get another waiter to take it from our right hand side, and here is the output..


And he showed it to Jep, asking if the picture was ok, Jep looked a bit blur and the waiter just left.

When we looked at the picture, we luaghed our head off.

Ok, can you tell what's wrong with the picture? IQ test ni..

Try to do headcount! I mentioned that there were 9 of us, ryte? Yup, he cut Jep from the picture very perfectly. Look here (second attempt from the third waiter)...

Much better!

Anyways, then we had supper at Dome. And i did not have anything there. I don't feel like having cold drinks. And the only hot drinks they have are tea and coffee, which by the way is a no-no for those who are taking homeopathy. So sad.. :(
