Eternal Love

This morning I went for a jog with my classmate kismera..she said that she gained 6-7kg during our semester break..wah gila la..I wonder kat mana lemak2 tu tersimpan?haha..I only gained like 1-2kg hihihi...itu pon after our trip to JB..kalau kat rumah kami konsep makan kais pagi makan pagi....makan nasi satu hari sekali je..lauk satu je..itu pon kena catu coz takut either one of us tak dapat makan sebab lauk habis...so of course la excited bila dihidang makan banyak kan...So yesterday I already went for a jog alone..lebih puas la coz I manage to finished half dari satu bulatan untuk orang yang da lama tak jog kira membanggakan juga la untuk diri sendiri...bila temankan kis g jog serupa jalan je..100m jog and the rest was only walking..camno nak kurus ni kis...

Deyh adlin banyak benar pendahuluan kau kan...so after our little 'jog' we went for breakfast nearby and kismera starts to tell stories about her granddad and his 4 marriages (bukan kahwin 4..tapi kahwin cerai) and her family business..I defined her as the Hilton of pulau perhentian coz the resort kat situ was built sejak zaman atoknya lagi and sekarang the management of the resort was taken in by her paklong...so by then I told her the story about how my grandma and granddad's marriage back in the late 1940's did not have her family's blessing...

My grandma's dad was the village chief and conquers many lands back then..he raised 8 children since her wife died when my grandma was 14 if I'm not mistaken..wan(panggilan nenek kami) was  the 3rd and the eldest daughter so she holds the responsibility of raising her siblings until they were successfully masuk university..respect la sama wan sebab that time not all people can get into college..but my great granddad banyak duit masa tu so thats a bonus la..so she sacrifices a lot for the family..the reason why she got married at the age of 22..zaman tu rasanya kalau kawen umo 22 da macam andartu kot... she chose to marry a policeman..family tok kani ( panggilan kami kat moyang..real name sheikh kani) memang terang2 dah tolak sebenarnya because the fact that my atok is just a policeman with minimal income...tok kani already had his own plans to arrange wan with one of his rakan pengaruh..aku agak confirm anak orang kaya la kan...duh obviously..

In detail I didn't know how it happened then but wan in the end did married atok...but because of that it has broke the family apart...its like wan's siblings accused her for being derhaka and not grateful of the life tok kani gave..but tak la macam drama sangat coz tok kani didn't disowned wan ...as I remember from mama, wan and atok had to live kat rumah pondok yang besar dia cam umah sewa aku kerat tiga sekarang...but years after their marriage...wan's siblings slowly starting to accept atok and atok started to open up his own business after his job retirement and manage to provide the family well enough..mama selalu cakap kalau setiap kali birthday adik beradik dia mesti diorang tak sabar nak  tunggu atok balik rumah bawak tin laici makan ramai2...tu kira macam dah mahal gila la sambut birthday dengan minum air laici..

But apart from all accepting  atok slowly there were two of wan's siblings that didn't care much..in fact saying that anak-anak wan ni pengaruh tak baik...but adik beradik mama peduli hape kan...main je sama2 coz rumah dah dekat2...and takkan wan nak halang kan...

So the person that I'm talking firstly is wan induk yeng(aku lupa nama betul dia) but I made a post last year that we went to her house in raub..click here kalau nak baca la... she was wan's only sister..I think yg ke 6 kot..so basically dia ni was the one that always blamed wan's mistake in marrying atok whenever wan kesusahan..she always forbid her children to ever get so close to wans children..siap cakap " anak2 zainab ni semua tak betul perangai". I only knew this from my aunts gossiping during our gathering at bangi..yea more like I was eavesdropping their conversation hehe...but mama said that their relationship between wan induk yeng's children are like very close like they somehow just ignore her warnings...yela mereka pon da besar dan isu ni pon dah lama so why bring it up until our 3rd generation?its not like a 7th generation curse macam mahsuri kan....and I know the whole story clearly when my 2nd cousin (wan induk yeng's grandson) told the whole story while I was in 1st year at UTeM..he was on his last year back then..sekarang dak fikri ni tengah sambung ambik PHD lagi uolls..gila la dia ni straight belajar..padahal masa sekolah kena tendang sekolah sains sebab curi underwear perempuan LOL...ok2 sambung cerita...so he told me that same story about our 'tok kani' family issues. He was on the same page as his dad so thats why he treated me like his very own sister sepanjang satu tahun aku kat situ..sampai mana2 lelaki yang nak kenal aku pon dia dok periksa haha...only her grandma can't tolerate...I think maybe until both of my grandparents passed away wan induk can only tolerate..and she did..yeay to that :p..

So moving on to the next sibling was tok teh...my mom told me that the last time she met tok teh when she was 15 years old..last year was the first time in 37 years she step into tok teh's house...I don't recall to whom I heard about the story but tok teh was the one that menentang habis wan's marriage. Sampai satu masa bila dia nak meninggal barulah dia panggil2 nama wan and nak minta maaf.. Itu yang saya dengar...so mama pon jarang2 cerita yang dia rapat ngan tok teh's children so I guess that the hashims weren't that close to tok tehs family..but either way we did visit the house and their family and wan teh did treat us well =)..yeay to that also heee....

What I learnt from this story is that...we always here cases where marriage didn't have parents blessing..we seldom hear about siblings blessings and anger about marriage that could ruin the family institution..even though wan did not chose a wealthy man as a husband, she did lived a joyful life with atok accompanied by 8 children..she did went through hardships with him...she passed away a year after atok on 2005...but for me the saddest part is when she didn't get a chance to reunite with her siblings...al-fatihah to arwah zainab and hashim...

haih if only I had a photo of atok and wan...yang lama kena scan tu ada kat kampung masih tergantung...so this is the best I got...
nampak tak tulisan kat baju tu?ha itu la event the hashims masa awal tahun 2011..at port dickson..a 3 days 2 night event fully organized by us...aku tak tahu ada point atau tak sebenarnya pic ni ngan post ni sebenarnya haha...ok randomness=adlin

Motherhood

 I know that I am not eligible to talk about marriage since I'm not married and pregnant and can't even see the path that I'm gonna get married by this year but this is just something I wanna share my thoughts about parenthood.

At this point, many of my friends have already got married and have children. In their late 20's maybe they will have like 2 children already. I always hear complains and murmuring about the hectic and tiredness of being a parent especially when your kids jarak umur dekat2...playing 3 roles at the same time. A mother, a wife and a career women would make your life sometimes mess up..sometimes rasa nak marah je bila tengok some people complaint about kepenatan layan anak2 ni...don't you know that your child is Allah's gift?please don't call them troublesome or mess maker...although it sounds horrible and geli when you're dealing with babies poop and stuff..I know you will be happy when seeing your child is smiling at you right? it maybe exhausting for a while ..you won't get your usual sleep time, you won't get your old life again and barely go for date nights with your husband..but in the end you will be happy..

For those who haven't watch the movie 'What to expect when you're expecting' I encourage to watch it coz for me its a very inspiring story. 5 story in one movie..cases when a wife can't get pregnant and has to adopt, a wife that tries for 2 years to get pregnant and a girl's reaction when she got knocked up..believe me when I watched this movie I wanted to cry LOL....

My mother always tells us stories of how she raise the four of us up...back then she had to go to work by day and take care of us by night..switch shifts between dad..so dad took care of us by day as he was doing his masters and Phd by evening..and when dad got too busy..mama had to take a day off to take care of the family...since dad was only a student so mama had to buy secondhand toys at a car boot sale...mama said that she already gone through the hardships of motherhood and sekarang since we are grown adults dia siap bagi warning lagi ," Don't ask me to babysit your kid," haha ok mama kami faham...unless we give her a maid so thats fair enough =p...now is her chance to live the life she deserves...from what I noticed her recent routine starts  bila pagi2 pergi jog kat taman gelora(for me tpt tu memang sangat cantik coz tepi pantai) and petang sikit main squash kat UIA ynag jaraknya memang dekat sangat dengan umah kami...aku lah jadi bahan bila kalah main game squash ngan dia. " come on la ayin..you can't even beat your 53 year old mom?" ok aku rasa loser gila sekarang haha..

To be frank, during my teenage years I was never good when it comes to handling children..anak buah pon tak de..adik pon dah besar..so I ended up being awkward when it comes to making a baby smlling or laughing...aku tengok baby comel je tapi aku sendiri tak pandai layan..dapat pulak budak 1-2 tahun yang banyak songeh ngada2..memang budak tu takkan pergi kat aku la..harapan la nak suh aku layan kerenah dia..my siblings memang suka sangat budak2 and budak2 pon suka mereka lagi2 my bro yang seems to get along with every budak yang dia handle..rugilah the girls tak pi ngorat dia..single lagi tu haha....well the fact that I'm not good with kids its actually a secret that I've kept from most of my friends..lagi2 kalau ada crush..kau gila nak bagitau statement camtu? but some of my close friends are already aware of my 'bad side' sampai diorang cakap " adlin camne ko nak kawen nanti?" yea I was afraid of that fact too...

THEN....



Two years ago that' motherly feeling' just came inside of me...aku tak didik pon tapi sendiri sedar kebenaran tu...every toddler handling was just something I felt like happy to do it...the cleaning, feeding, playing...everything yang memenatkan  untuk jaga budak aku wat..except the breastfeeding part la =p...dulu my siblings memang suka bahan aku tak pandai jaga budak kan..now dah sama level okay...its not just that..the feeling of having my own child seems to be growing..like can't wait to build my own family...but first..lets get to the part where I suppose to find a husband fisrt (sighs)

The Bloom Part Two

Why part 2? where's part 1? well I decided to save part 1 to myself and I figure its too private to share with any anonymous whose reading this since I let my blog public...

So why bloom? well in malay it means berbunga-bunga kan..the feeling that you're happy and just by looking or speaking to someone you love..oh my terasa jiwang lak malam2 ni...

I was once that girl...I easily get butterflies in my stomach every time a hot jock or guy in school smiles at me or even making jokes to his friends.. I love the feeling of a person cared about me that it makes me feel secure.  I didn't realized that I always get the guy that I had a crush on. Like kamal my first boyfriend, my heart pounded the moment I first saw him.. they say that if you're heart starts pounding so maybe he is the one you are gonna spend the rest of your life with..Well from what I have been going through, thats totally BS...even so I really think that he would be my husband then...

At school I never really experienced 'puppy love'..thats a good thing for me though because most of high school relationships didn't end up to marriage..but I do experienced the bloom when my crush talked to me even though he did not have a single clue that I had a big crush on him until someone I trust (that time I wasn't aware of the term trust to people) spill out my secret and the guy knew and suddenly avoiding me..by that time the crush was over because he react like a total jerk haha..

Well thats one of the examples that I could give now..I could share more stories on my crushes experience but maybe it would take more than a night to cover it up...and maybe I could publish  a novel perhaps haha..ok lame adlin..lame...

Then after all these years I realized that I was being selfish...I had an option but I chose to grab all of it..in the end I couldn't keep one...mende aku cakap ni pon aku kurang faham....but the thing is now Allah has taken me the 'bloom' feeling from me...its a sign to realized that I was abandoning Him and choosing more of dunya that Him...ten years ago my teacher back in sekolah menengah islam hidayah told us a story about her friend..she and her husband did not have any issues until one day she doesn't have any feelings for her husband..not even the 'batin' part..barangkali dia lebih bernafsu tengok lelaki lain berbanding suaminya sendiri...she panicked..dalam setiap solat she prays that she could overcome Allah's test upon her..I didn't know what happened next...the whole point of my teacher's story was ' What if one day Allah decided to take that love feeling between you and your husband/wife?".... So its possible then.

In  my case...after three relationships that didn't work out I finally have that feeling of not having the bloom thing at all...I did panicked a while..maybe I was being more careful on judging people...I had that mission to get married at the age of 25,but on 2013 at the age of 24, it seems so  pressure for me deciding. My mom keeps pressuring me to meet this 'husband material' kind of guy that she promised a better future..yes I know he is someone stable...I always hear about pilihan ibu bapa yang terbaik...tapi paling tak suka kena pressure..last year I made a deal with a friend that we would be engage by this year and married in 2014...he seems to agree with that since we were on the same boat last year..then I thought everything would be settled after our agreement...no frequent text messages, late night calls or whatsoever...bajet cinta lepas kawen la katekan..then mom decided to berkenalan with her choices..than I argued with her saying that I already have a choice.." well that choice is not good enough,btw he will graduate the same year with you so you will face hardships before both of you can be fully stable..so please go for my choices,"

Well if thats the case, I decided to leave our conversation there...I know that my mom sedang melalui fasa where she wants to see us happy...she doesn't want to put us in hardships just like we are going through now...marriage..jodoh kan satu rezeki..maybe rezeki saya belum sampai lagi so I don't need to rush..besides am I the 2nd breadwinner in the family?so of course I need to sacrifice the important things first before marriage...

Seriously I don't know what I'm babbling here...if you get the point..congrats..if you don't..well sorry can't help...

please be one of these guys if I wanna have that bloom again ahaks...

chris pine..always love him since the princess diaries 2
