This is your Mother at 40

Wen, one day you will reach 40 years of age and you will see that 40 is not old at all. :) This was at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Singapore - 14th and 15th April 2016.

Broken heart

O Allah, please heal and mend my broken heart. The one who broke it doesn't know that he broke it. He hurt me. He was mean and I didn't think I deserved it. Of course he does think that I deserved it. He always thinks that he is right. All the time. He thinks he know best. He thinks he knows it all. He thinks that he changed for the better and that the fact that I didn't change goes to show that I haven't grown. Well if he means that being easily offended by a simple question of "We are going to dinner right...??" is growth, then I am in trouble.

I don't know what he wants from me. Not too long ago, he told me "Don't complain..don't assume..." - now that I have stopped doing that he goes back and say.."Complain!! ( re the house defects to the developer ok yes but it is still complaints!! and then the other day he didn't tell me that we are heading to Aeon and when we had a fight as a result of it he said " I made the u turn, you should already know that we were heading to Aeon!" Really? Now you want me to assume? I give up. I am now married to a sensitive old man who doesn't have fun with the wife anymore.

Well, in his defence, he provides well for us. I am grateful for that really. Then I guess next in line is his exercise because he needs to lose weight. Between work and his exercise routine and the exercise routine he has Arwen on, there isn't much time for anything else. Not much time for the wife especially.

Oh and another thing he says " I am reactionary..I react to how you act" ..Really? Then, what am I? A robot? You think I don't react to how you act? You come home and you are quiet because apparently you don't want to tell me what a heavy responsibility you have to do at work in order to earn a living for us because you don't want me to worry. Oh how sweet. Instead you decide to keep quiet and sit in front of the telly and then expects me to talk to you so you can react to me. What a load of crap. So I can't react to how silent and grumpy you look and decide maybe I should stay away. For self -preservation, more than anything else really.

So that' is where I am right now. In self-preservation mode since whatever I could say might explode a time bomb.

I know this is a blog for you Wen but yeah you might want to know when you are all grown up that sometimes marriage sucks and it takes a lot, a lot of compromise and a hell lot of hard work.

Yoda

27 July 2016, Weds, the day Bak found Yoda and brought him home

Chewie and Cleo checking out the tiny kitten

Yoda's ears are huge and when I saw them while Bak was washing him, I instantly thought of Yoda.

27 July 2016, Bak went for a run at 5am and came back at 6 am with a tiny kitten and woke us up by saying.."bangun..bangun, I selamatkan kucing...."

Well...cat no 3 then.

School

School is hard. It's tough. But i persevered and i made it through. You can do it Wen. You can.

Moved!

Well, its been almost a month and a half since we moved to Cyberjaya. I haven't had the chance to write it all down. Its been hectic, crazy, exhausting and back breaking exercise. Literally, my back hurts from packingvto unpacking all our stuff!! So many stuff. It's a topic worthy of its own blog entry - will write about that later.

Arwen khatam Quran 9 April 2016

Alhamdulillah, you managed to finish the whole Quran just before we moved to Cyberjaya. Syukur syukur. So much 'blood, sweat and tears' went into this process from you starting Iqra when you were in standard 2 and khatam Quran at the beginning of standard 5. About 3.25 years. Cikgu Ros had a small ceremony for you on 9 April 2016. We had moved already by then. I am so proud of you. I duaa you will continue to learn and read the Quran your entire life. It is the most important book in our lives actually.
