Surprise!!

Few days ago, a video of a boyfriend surprising her girlfriend with a limo ride and huge bouquet of flowers for her birthday went viral. Macam biasa, ada yg memuji, ada juga yg mengeji iri hati.

Personally, lantak pi la mamat tu nak buat apa, duit dier. Kalau aku jadik gf dia, aku terharu teruk kot. Memang la org kata, material jek sumer tu. Belum kawen boleh la, tunggu dah kawen sok. Tapi, mana tau, lepas kawen pun dia still rajin nak surprise2 bini dia, kan? Doa jekla yg baik2 utk mereka.

This remind me of a surprise I received years  ago..zaman2 muda remaja. Though the surprise was rather small scale la kan nak compare ngan limo ni. But still, surprise is surprise, aight?

So here goes. It was the last day of high school after SPM.. We were supposed to meet up at the bus station before I'm leaving for my hometown. Bas gerak kol 9, kol 8.30 dia tak muncul2 lagi. Zaman tu mana guna handphone lagi. Janji nak jumpa tu pun call guna public phone je. So I thought, well he's not coming la ni. Just when i was about to embark into the bus, then I  saw him . Walking slowly towards me, terhencot hencot, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand (Ya, memang cam dlm drama, just bear with it.. :P). Rupanya he was involved in accident. Jatuh motor. His friend patah kaki still in hospital. He himself pun kaki berbalut, but still gagahkan diri datang to meet me. Ko tak terharu? My feeling that time? Susah nak describe. Terharu sangat kot.

It's the gesture and how it made me feel that time yg membuatkan the event always have special place in my memory. I remember how my heart was beating too fast like never before. I remember how I need to control my mouth from not grinning ear to ear to hide my excitement.

It's been too long since I last have that kind of feeling. I mean, for one Mr.H was not keen on throwing surprises (though I doubt this.. From what I heard.. For his previous relationships.. He was quite capable of planning sweet sweet stuff for his girls.. ) Also, because i naturally have great instinct which subsequently will ruin any good planned surprises...haha..

But yeah..

Commitment

Once you commit yourself to a marriage, it means you have to take your other half into consideration in every decisions you make. 

It means do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. It means, find ways to compromise. 

Compromise. 

Even when it hurts. 

A lot. 

Sepi

bermain dengan sepi.
kemudian tewas lagi.

salah sendiri?
tanya hati.

senyumlah kembali.
umpama mentari pagi.

mungkin akan tetap di sisi.
menemani.
sampai mati.

17 Ramadhan

Alhamdulillah and what a bless to be able to meet another Ramadhan..

But this year it seems like Ramadhan berlalu dengan sangat pantas. It's already Day 18 today. Less than 2 weeks and we'll gonna say goodbye to the holy month.

So, yesterday, 17 Ramadhan was Nuzul Quran. It was public holiday here. Was thinking of spending more time reading the Quran (well.. it was Nuzul Quran after all). Need to catch up since I was way behind on my target. This year I set a target of at least to finish 10 juzuk of not only reading the Quran but also the translation as well. It's already more than half way of Ramadhan but I still on my 5th juzuk. So yeah, lotsa catch up to do.

But, as they say, we can only plan. Instead of staying home, we spent all day out to not 1 not 2... but 7 shopping malls!!

Sogo-->The Curve-->e-Curve-->Ikano-->The gardens-->MidValley-->Publika

Based on my Garmin watch, I was walking for more than 10km yesterday. No wonder by the end of the day, I felt like my legs were turning to jelly.

Pegi malls banyak2 apa hasilnya?

Mr. H got himself new pants and shirt at Sogo. It was overcrowded there. Rimas nak shopping. So end up nothing for me there.

At Curve pun tak shopping apa2. But We managed to get ourselves a 30 minute massage session (head, neck, shoulder) at Urban Retreat spa. Let me just say, I may come again to try their other massages. The therapist was good. Rasa cam massage kat siam je.


Oh.. ada la i beli something for myself kat Garden.Choc chip cookies kat M&S. Kah kah.. jadik la kan.

Buka puasa was at Publika. We had scrumptious pasta meals at Fahrenheit. And end the day with coffee at Oldtown.

It's nearly 10 oclock when we reached home. Performed Isyak, taraweeh and Alhamdulillah able to recite few pages of Quran before bed. So all is good, yeah?

As mentioned berulang-ulang kali dalam surah Ar-Rahman:

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

 "Maka, nikmat Tuhan-Mu yang manakah yang engkau dustakan?"

It's been yonks since the last entry.

American Idol also already bid their last finale this year.

So.. What happened for the last 7 years?

Got married. Bought new car. New home(s). A promotion. Yada..yada..

So yeah.. That's that.

What made me crawling back to this space? I dunno..  Maybe just need another medium to rant about all the problems in the world. Heh

Off for an appointment now..

Ramadan Kareem guys! 

Hello world!!

I'm back....
