Happy 3rd Anniversary to us!

It was our anniversary last Monday 30th November. Alhamdulillah we've been together for 3 years, going through marriage which has all that bittersweet.

During the first year of our marriage, life was quite tough, our salaries were small and we had quite a lot of commitment. The marriage loan, student loan, car loan and a few more. We also had to prepare for the birth of our newborn baby. Every month during my pregnancy period, my husband will set aside RM500 for the baby expenses. Me on the other hand, had to pay quite a bit of money which I loan from my mom. Alhamdulillah praise to Allah, we managed to handle everything smoothly.

Now in our 3rd year together, we managed to tick a few of our plan like register for Hajj even for my daughter and also bought a house. Alhamdulillah, eventhough they were small step but I am so grateful.

At this stage of my life now, I feel so blessed to have my husband and my daughter. Whenever I saw their face when they sleep I feel really grateful to Allah who has provided me with all this.

Of course, in marriage there were times where I felt down and unhappy too. It happened especially when I was tired. Example I wanted to do a lot of house chores but things like my daughter crying was slowing things down. I got mad and vent it out at my husband. Pushing him to do a lot of things when he himself was tired too. Guys has their limits too. And that cause us to fight. What I learn from this is if you feel tired, just take a break. Stop doing the house chores and attend to your family first.

Just chill. And as a woman, control what you said.

I think I am quite lucky to have him as my husband. He helps a lot with the house chores, take a good care of me and my daughter, I can talk with him about everything, respects my family and of course he always love me.

So for our anniversary, we took one day leave and went dating to Sogo. Haha. I know. But I wanted to buy a handbag. We had lobster for our lunch at Manhattan Fish and bought groceries afterwards. One week before, we also went dating. A very simple dating. Plan B for lunch and Mockingjay Part 2 for movie.

I hope as we grow old we will always make effort to have some time alone together holding hands and watch movies.

Happy anniversary sayang. I will always love you.

Till then, Assalamualaikum.

New Year Celebration

It's already February and yet I still wanted to post about my new year celebration.

My small family went for holiday in Penang for the new year. We planned to go there two weeks before the day. So I started preparing for it ; bought monopod/tripod, swimming diaper for Aisyah, apply leave and etc.

So on the day of new year 1st January, we moved from the house around 8 am and reach Penang around 1230 am. The journey was quite smooth. Aisyah slept almost 3 hours. Awesome! If she didn't sleep, I'm sure it was gonna be quite stressful. She doesn't like sitting in the car for so long, no freedom. When we reached Penang, it was already lunch time. We didn't have any clue where to eat. So we just drive though Penang Town and found Kopitiam, so we just ate there. Aisyah was so bad mood since she was so sleepy. So part of the food I just tapau and ate later in the hotel.

Then we drove to the hotel, saw Gurney Plaza, Gurney Paragon and Batu Ferringghi on our right. The road was not that packed I supposed. It was a bit jam in front of the Gurney Paragon since people wanted to go there but after that, it was not that bad . Oops I am a person who go through bad traffic everyday, so my judgement might be different. Hihi.

We arrived at our hotel around 3 pm, just the right time to check in. We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel Penang but I think it was not the right choice. The room price of course was expensive due to the brand but we kinda expected more for the interior decoration. I've been to Hard Rock Hotel  Penang before but just for sightseeing and not staying there. At the lobby yes we could see all the lights, drawing, and costumes. However there was not much to say about the room. Oh by the way, I stayed at Hill View Deluxe Room. Some of the furniture were quite washed out, the wardrobe door was not so smooth to open, same goes to the toilet wall (the toilet wall dividing the room and toilet can be moved) and the toilet door even got mushroom! Haha. While I was having my ehemm task in the toilet, looking at the mushroom was so funny! Haha. If Hard Rock Cafe Penang management happens to read this, can please please update your hotel room? I wanted to give my feedback when I was at the hotel but my husband seem wanted me to be positive, so I just didn't want to ruin our mood.

Another drawback was I think other visitor (not hotel guest) can easily come in and out of the hotel (like what I did back then). There are entrance at the front gate and from the beach. So less privacy and it made me didn't feel special staying in Hard Rock Hotel. The pool is quite small too.

Other than that, it was all okay.

Our first day there, we didn't do so much. In the evening, we just walked around the beach, took some pictures and headed back to our room. My husband and Aisyah took bath together in the hotel bathtub, then I put Aisyah to sleep and waited for her to wake up to go dinner. My husband wanted to have dinner in Hard Rock Cafe but really, at night there was life band, loud sound and with me wearing jubah, not really appropriate. So we dined somewhere else in Batu Feringghi. We googled and found this restaurant recommended by the blogger since this restaurant was featured in Jalan Jalan Cari Makan. When we arrived there, there was very big banner hanged at the restaurant mentioned it was featured  in Jalan Jalan Cari Makan. So we got excited and ready to eat. Not gonna mention the name here because I felt so dissapointed. We ordered kailan ikan masin, but it was not available so we ordered something else, kangkung belacan, also not available so we ordered mixed vegetables. Very easy to do but turned out they forgot it! They sent everything we ordered except that. I finished my food but still they had not send it. My husband cancelled it but they asked to wait. Since we were on holiday and still wanted to maintain our positivity, we just waited for it and didn't want to argue more. Overall, the food was not great. Their siakap tiga rasa tasted like asam pedas. Pftt.

The next morning we had our breakfast in the hotel. I have to admit I like their breakfast buffet because they got waffle. Super love waffle. Hehe. Despite Aisyah being so bad mood, I still enjoyed my breakfast very much.

After that we went to swimming pool. Only Aisyah and her dad played in the pool. Me on the other hand just captured their pictures. Aisyah at first was quite scared but after a while she kinda liked it. Hihi.

We had our lunch at Hard Rock Cafe. We kinda blur what to order. My husband ordered a burger while I order macaroni. Well, what can I say is western food is not our taste. We are pure Malay. Only ikan siakap 3 rasa, tomyam and kailan ikan masin can satisfy us. Haha.

Then we went to Gurney Paragon mall. Haha so weird right? Even we went to Penang, our favourite place to go was still shopping mall. The reason was because we didn't know where else to go. If in Malacca, we can go to zoo but here, really I have no idea. I assumed maybe we didn't do enough research before the holiday. We went shopping in H&M there and this shop here has mezzanine floor with stair only. So it was difficult for us since we brought Aisyah in stroller. Turned out H&M here got lift! It wasn't a normal big lift. It was a small lift enough just for three of us and the function buttons were not that much. The lift was quite fun I must say. Hihi. Like a prototype lift.

After the shopping trip, we went to Gurney Drive to buy our dinner, char kuey tiow while Aisyah we bought for her some McD porridge (with guilty feeling of course! I hope this is the last time we bought from McD, forever boycott).

The next day was our last day in Penang. So we had our same routine like yesterday. Breakfast in hotel, played in the swimming pool and at 12 pm we checked out from the hotel. Our holiday was not so much adventure, we just spent our time relaxing in the hotel. So there was no I Need Holiday after My Holiday thing. Haha.

Before we ended our holiday in Penang, we went to Toy Museum. I went to Toy Museum before but it was in different location than this time. Turned out they had moved. Seeing all the toys was quite fun but only up to that. There was nothing extraordinary about that place. If you visit Penang, it was alright if you don't get the chance to visit that place.

Alright, pictures time.

Being a wife

I didn't update my blog for a while now. Being so busy adapting to my new life as a wife. At first, it was quite hard to adjust, I mean as a wife you have to take care of your husband too. Before married, I just took care of myself. I did what I wanted and what I dislike, I won't do. But after married, you have to listen to your husband and take care of him as well. This is the best part since guys are totally different from us woman.

So basically marriage is to know your other half better. thoroughly, deeper.

For those who think marriage is just about menghalalkan yang haram, think again. Its about responsibility mostly.

A husband has to carry his wife's sin and a wife has to listen to your husband.

And there are also household work, family and friends.


When you get married, your family gets bigger and your friends too.

So we have to learn to adapt and the most important thing, to compromise.


So what did we compromised?

First, friend's wedding. I followed him to his friend's wedding and he also did the same.

We went to 5 friend's wedding for the past 2 weeks. Phew.

As and Maria on 22 Dec

Nas and Nuta 23 Dec

My good friend, Bel and Pasha 24 Dec

Nazir and Amelia 29 Dec

Muni and Mamat 30 Dec

For those who just got married (us too), good luck!

Till then. Assalamualaikum.

First Post After Married

There are a lot of things I want to share here.I want to document everything regarding my wedding so that I can reminiscence about it later. I am currently enjoying my wedding life with the one I love the most.

Let me share how we met. 

He was a good student who sit in front of the class with hair like Radhi OAG. Well of course being a good student only lasted for 2 semesters. We were in the same class in UTP by the way.

Since then, I stalked him. 

I got his phone number and disturbed him.

He responded well and told me a lot of things about him. But not like he liked me. He totally being a friend which of course made me like him more.

Then there was an event where Radhi OAG performed. I told him I won't go but at the last minute I went because there was two seats left. Then the next day, one of our friends chatted with me and asked me who I liked and I said Fikree (my husband), and the friends straight away mentioned it to Fikree.

How did Fikree responded?

He said I am a bitch cause I lied to him and I'm not pretty (Pftt). The friend there copy and paste the whole conversation. (Hahaha)

I felt extremely sad and promised to stop like him.

And he felt sorry so we met because he wanted to apologize to me. We met. We spoke. And I think he started to like me (well of course I didn't realize it before).

After the meeting, I said I will stop liking you and wanted to move on. He responded like this

" Macam mana ko nak lupekan aku" "Boleh ke ko lupekan aku"

Confident much?

I thought like that too. Why the hell this guy was so confident? Pftt.

Since I promised myself to forget him, I coupled with other guy for about 4 months.

And he didn't know I was a girlfriend to another guy. A lot of ppl didn't know by the way.

After 2 months during semester break, we contacted back and I got a lil bit of hint that he liked me.

My nickname in his phone was 'Budak Jahat UTP'. He wasn't around so his cousin replied my message. We messaging a bit and the cousin mentioned Fikree liked a girl named Fathanah. I was happy but of course I didn't want to put a lot of hope. So I chose not to trust.

After the semester opened, I lost my handphone and the MIRC was blocked so he couldn't contact me. So he left a testimonial in my friendster instead.

So I pm'ed him.

He was surprised I already coupled with other guy.

We chatted and he confessed that he liked me. I was confused and I didn't want to break ppl's heart. And for the obvious reason, I wasn't sure whether he really liked me.

So I asked.

Me : Nak stay ke nak move on?

Him : Erm.. Move on. (Means clash with current bf)

Me : Move on ke? Okay. ( I was just being playful, I didn't think that I really want to clash because I wasn't too sure of his feeling)

Him : Ok. Aku tunggu.

That word made me stunned. I was thinking well this guy really liked me.

And me of course always like him.

And after more than 6 years together, we are now married. Hee.

Till then. Bye.

Assalamualaikum.

Last Anniversary

We celebrated our 6th year anniversary as a couple last Saturday. It was our last anniversary. Next year will be a recounting from 1. Hee. It was a simple celebration. Eating and spent some time together.

on our way back to Manjung. my camera has this beauty setting so it blurred the imperfection on my face on its own. lol

so hard to capture his picture without him moving

Usual dish in Chicken Rice Shop. I have such a Malay stomach. Lunch definitely need rice.

Then after some eating, we went over to see the bridal. I need to finalize everything and get my groom's size measured. I am a fussy bride so a final meeting is definitely important to me. We discussed about the arch, the meja makan beradab, the dais, the handbouqet and the date they gonna install the dais and such.

Since my wedding is on Saturday, they will come over to install the dais on Thursday and will come again on Friday to settle the meja makan beradab since they need to wait the canopy vendor install the canopy first.

the tanjak. hee

Wedding is a big event. A lot of things need to be settled and I really need help from my siblings and family on that day. I will definitely make a list of who do what and what. I hope my family can bear with my fussy attitude. Haha.

On other note, sometime its hard being a fussy person. When to sleep, I need a comfortable environment, no light, any sound is not allowed, comfortable bed and definitely need the blanket. My fiance is so different. He can sleep with noisy sound, not necessarily has blanket and with the light on! So envy! 

Okay till then, bye people!

200 days

This morning I saw my friend posted on her blog her wedding day will be 186 days from now. I roughly divided by 30 days to know how many months from now and its 6 months from now and she already start surveying and buying the house. I never actually count the days until we will get married.  Mine will be 7 and a half months from now. Our difference is only 1 and a half months! But I do nothing for the wedding. Nothing. My focus now is on solely on the engagement. Erk. The bad side of short duration between wedding and engagement.

Its 200 days from now. Wish me good luck. I hope we both will be mentally stabilized for the wedding. We've been together almost 6 years now. Hee.

love you a lot by

Till then. Assalamualaikum

wedding kawan2

Hihi. I've deleted my previous post on Ms. Every Single Thing Negative. Have to take it down. Hihihi. Last weekend and last last weekend I went for friend's wedding. One at Kelantan and one at FRIM here in Selangor.

The Kelantan one was my dearest friend's a.k.a our kakak sulung's wedding. The one that we anticipated for months. I even made a new baju kurung for the wedding. Since I am still under probation for my new job, I couldn't take leave. So I traveled from KL to Kelantan with my 3 friends on Friday night. Others traveled in the morning. We spent a night at Awana Kijal before continued travelling to Kelantan the next morning. And the room was free. Hihi. So awesome lah the room. My friend's fiancee had training there so he slept at his friend's room and gave his room to us. The room got two super single beds so it fit for the four of us. Hehee.

Eh I should be talking about the wedding haha. My dear friend, Ty's wedding theme was purple. All of her family wore purple. We also wore purple. Haha. Everyone looked so harmonious. Love it so much. I seriously love the dais. Look so elegant and sweet.

So nicelah our baju kurung's tone of color. The plain at the front, the dark color tone at the side and the pattern one at the back. Seriously a beautiful coincidence like Omay said. Btw, Omay's mom said Ty's husband look like Zed Zaidi the actor. Haha. I think its true. ;p

The other wedding was my coursemate at UTP but I think the main reason we went there because she- Kisha is my boyfriend's workmate. So they are pretty close. He will feel bad if we didn't go. But I truly love her wedding. See the dais at the back look so lovely and the way they put the dine table nicely in front of the dais so when ppl took picture the background will look beautiful. And the food had a lot of varieties. The nasi minyak, the rojak, the mee rebus, and etc. etc. For the door gift, we got chocolate. Beryl's chocolate. Hee. Awesome!

Her wedding dress was very lovely. Forget to ask in detail where she got it. Hihi. Btw see my bf's hair. He just cut it. He cut it because he felt unease when all eyes were staring at him when he entered a meeting room full with ppl with big names. Seriously why he thought ppl were staring at his hair. Don't like the hair. It makes he looks younger than me. Haha.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.

its complicated

See see I told ya sooner or later I'm gonna be lazy to update the blog. Haha. Well I'm not gonna elaborate on my laziness. Just want to blog on how complicated women are. I know not everyone like this but I'm giving example of majority of women. Case in point - ME.

When a guy we love didn't do things he promised, we will go haywire. Even just because of small thing. Why? Because it indicates what type of person he is. If he doesn't do what he promised now, then will he sticks to what he promised after we get married? We always think like that. Part of the reason because we don't want to choose the wrong person and end up feel sorrow the rest of our life and he can easily be with other woman.

We also want to become the priority in the life of the guy we love. I know its unfair but it just who we are. However there is a trick. All we want to hear is we are the priority. Not necessarily that you really need to prioritize us. Just know when to say the good word.But still remember promise is a promise. See, complicated right?

Then, the importance of sharing is caring. You know how women really love to share stories about what she's been doing all day long? Even the tiniest things that happen to her. Like how she whining she has a lot of tasks and doesn't have time to do, like how she uses different shower gel in the morning and the fact that she has new pimple? Yes. We like to share with you.

new giant pimple need to tell you asap so that you won't be shocked lol

As much as we like it, we also want our guy to share what he's been doing all day long. Share problems, funny stories or stupid funny bosses. Because we feel more connected that way and more appreciated when you share your stories to us. And do response sincerely when we tell our story to you because you definitely don't want us to blame you for our bad day.

Do speak softly to us especially if the relationship is on the rock. It can make our hearts softer towards you and yes definitely we always want to speak softly nicely to you because we know your heart will also feel softer. So lets do it together. Speak nicely softly to each other when we fight. Trust me, the feeling when loved couple reconcile after fight is the best feeling ever.

And last but not least, when we fight, please don't leave us alone and ignore us. We just want your attention to see whether you really love us, can cope with our antics and whether you won't leave us when we fight after we get married. I don't know where the guys can learn this but please know how to coax us women. Sometimes the most important thing is knowing what to say.

This post is intentionally to all man out there. Good luck in having wonderful relationship with loved ones.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
