"KAHWIN NI UMPAMA BELI KERETA. KENA SELALU MAINTAIN & SERVIS"

-bapak Nazri/bapa mertuaku


S
ekarang ni musim cuti sekolah, memang ramai betul member2 yang kawin/akan kawin. Yang bersalin pun ramai juga…

Kepada yang dah kawin/ nak kawin, congratulation! Kawin ni bukan senang…memanglah banyak benda jadi, err, halal, tapi bab-bab lain nak kena jaga. Contohnya jaga makan minum suami, pakaian suami, hati suami, hati keluarga suami, etc. Cuba bayangkan, hidup kita masa belum bersuami pun takdelah organized sangat, ni tetiba kena jaga orang lain. Tapi bukan kita aje, suami kita pun macam tu jugak, kena jaga anak (dara) orang. Bukan senang hidup after kawin ni, nak kena pikir giliran balik raya, nak kena pikir nak masak/beli apa untuk dinner, sapa nak gi ambik dry cleaning kat dobi, bayar bil (mujurlah ada Maybank2u!) etc etc etc. Kekadang kita balik dari kerja penat sangat, tapi nak kena pikir pasal dinner malam ni, nak gosok baju suami, nak kena picit kepala suami…sedangkan kita sendiri tengah sakit kepala. Dulu masa belum kawin, bedal maggi aje pastu tidur. Dok jaga orang lain alih-alih kita sendiri tak terjaga, especially bab badan. Man, trauma betul nampak weight scale sekarang!!! (Camne aah si Kumarn sungguh slim sekarang???) Kalau taknak baby, take your contraception NOW! Jangan tunggu after kawin, kang terlekat pulak. ;-)

Most of my frens enjoy their married life. Cuma, the most common problem is family in-law punya trouble la, usually ada kecik hati/tak puas hati dgn keluarga or sedara-mara mertua. If this happens to you, sabar aje la… Whatever it is, yang penting kena pandai jaga hati semua orang, which is NOT NOT NOT easy. It does not help to have a spouse yang tak pandai mengimbangi perasaan suami/isteri dgn keluarga dia, itu yang jadi gaduh tuh. Kalau spouse tu merajuk, first of all try la pujuk, jangan dok masuk belah lagi satu je…bila dah asyik belahkan family sendiri, kang boleh gaduh besar till bercerai-berai. And never sided with your maid, ok? Well, at least not in front of your spouse la. Biasalah, manusia kan ada ego masing2. Lagipun maid ni kalau depan2 dia kita masuk belah dia, kang ada lak yang naik tocang.  I’ve seen a couple split because of the husband backing the maid in front of the wife masa wife dia tegur maid tu pasal kerja. Bodoh….

Adam_kb_importKepada yang baru dapat baby tu, ‘double’kan masalah di atas, and then ‘triple’kan your happiness after 2 months. Dapat baby ni MEMANG LETIH GILA, bayangkan ada manusia yang constantly needs you to feed and change him/her, bangun 2 jam sekali even tengah malam and pagi2 buta. Selama ni asyik jaga anak sedara aje, bila budak tu berak ke nangis ke terus bagi kat mak dia, habis cerita. Sekarang kena jaga sendiri. Kalau baby tu sakit, you’ll be the one to cry and pray to Allah to pindahkan your baby’s pain to you.Proses nak bersalin and bersalin itself tu memang penat tak terkata, and then not being able to get some rest sebab your baby tak bagi you rehat (sebenarnya bukan baby, tapi orang lain…).  But once you see your baby smile at you, it’s like oh, he/she likes me!! He/she loves me! He/She knows me!

After I have my own baby, I have HUGE respect for my mom, and for all mothers generally. Mak aku beranak 6 kali, dahlah kakak-kakak aku dua orang tu lahir dua orang pada tahun yang sama! Penat..penat..kalau kembar, lagila penat…. Dahlah tu, bukan senang nak mendidik anak-anak ni. Sekarang aku paham kenapa mak aku pernah tampar/cubit/pulas/telinga/rotan/hempuk aku dengan bantal (bunyi macam kes dera pulak) aku masa kecik, sebab aku degil and mak aku penat sangat. Padan muka aku… Aku kesian pulak kat mak-mak yang jaga anak-anak dia sejak kecik, tapi budak besar tak jadi ‘orang’…especially kalau jadi penagih dadah. Nauzubillah…

I hope my Adam will grow up to be a good person. I hope he won’t smoke if any of his friends offer him any cigarette. I hope he won’t join any illegal racing. I hope he won’t join any of the bullying activities if he gets into any boarding school. I hope he will grow up as a fine man, marry a nice and sweet girl, and give me lots of grandchildren. I hope.

So guys and gals, welcome to the club!



KING KONG

Semalam gi tengok King Kong dengan Nazri. Movie start at 7.50pm gitu, finished around 11pm. Is it just me, or is the movie kinda too loong unnecessarily? Me and Nazri felt dizzy after watching it… The fighting scenes between the animals were superb, but it could have been a pleasureable 2-hour movie instead of 3. Pening…pening… Lepas habis movie, gi Uptown makan and ronda2 kat tempat orang jual barang kejap. Diorang tu kena pindah ke kota damansara cukup bulan ni, tapi spot baru tu memanglah orang tak tahu and jauh jugak la. Bought a pair of Garfield slippers for Adam, sukanya dia bila pakai pagi tadi!

I should stop spoiling him, cuma sekarang dia tak reti lagi erti ’spoil’. Nanti dia dah start meminta2 barang yang bukan2, I’ll stop. Hopefully I’ll have the courage to do so. He’s just so super duper cute right now.



THE “WHAT IF” LONGING…

I’ve been thinking about my life, lately. Well, most of the
time actually. I think all of us always think about our lives constantly. There
are just so many ‘what if’ thoughts that I have…

  • What if I did take Biology (didn’t
    take it because I hated the arrogant teacher who taught it at my school in
    Kelantan) during school? Would I have become a doctor instead of a lawyer?
  • Is law
    really my ‘thing’? Am I meant to have a career as a lawyer and lecturer? I found it uninteresting to read some judges’ comments and I hate this hierarchy+ seniority stuff because it just made some people, well.. arrogant and snobbish for no reason (kalau cerdik+bagus takpe jugak…ini tidak)
  • What
    if I’ve chosen to go to Seoul instead
    of getting married and having a child after finishing my undergraduate studies?
  • What if I’ve stayed at TKC instead of moving to SMDAM in KB? (Well, I’ve got to meet more friends by changing schools although it was very painful at first)
  • What if I’ve
    remained at my previous firm instead of getting on this SLAB scheme?
  • What if I’ve been more patient in some circumstances?
  • What if I’ve been more straightforward and frank and on-your-face-you-stupid in some other circumstances?

My life would certainly be different if I had chosen to live my life differently. Choosing is a great power, and a heavy responsibility because it will affect your life. I can wonder all day about this, but I think I’d have more of the ‘what-if’s if I had chosen the other options. If my life is still long enough, then maybe I can catch up on some ‘catchable’ options that I didn’t choose. I guess that’s why they say, "choose wisely, my friend…"
