Me and Hubby...

I keep asking hubby why did he buy me this iPad???

It's not that I don't appreciate it or anything like that, in fact, i'm super thrilled!!
It's just that, I think it's not really necessary to have an iPad, I mean, yeah my McBook has been giving me a lil problem, backlight problem, but still I have this old PC which I can use, though I have to fight with the kids everytime hehehe...

But, to my surprise, hubby just said a few simple words that make me feel really something..

He said, he adores my writing, that he's one of my biggest fan (eh ye ke hubby cakap camtu?), mmmm....whatever.... but what i'm sure of is that, he is one of my real follower, and has never missed reading any of my entries!!!!

Really???!!!

And if there's anyone in this whole wide world who's in full support that I should never stop blogging, it's him!!

Eh, smiling like an idiot now heheh!!!

In fact he's the major reason why I've made my blog public again.

Ok, enough of that... I found this nice quotes the other day, i'm sure everybody has heard of this one before;

'A woman's loyalty is tested when her man has nothing and a man's loyalty is tested when he has everything..'

Do you agree??

When me and hubby decided to get married, I was in the middle of a bachelor degree, and he was in the middle of a master degree, he had no full time job at that moment, only a part time job..

I remember all the struggle we had gone through, especially after Afeef was born.

There were tough times, lots of them, and despite it all, not even once that I regret what we've gone thru.. It taught us the real meaning of life and responsibilities...

So, at that time, I would say, hubby has nothing, and my loyalty was tested, 

And I think, I've passed my test... With flying colors.... Errrrr... Ye ke?

Heheheh, hope so ;)

And.... I think, hubby will pass his when the time comes... I hope so.. Hehe

InsyaAllah ;)

Housewife heaven :P

A steaming hot coffee and a novel... 

*****Siggggghhhhh.....****

What else should I want..

This is what I call a 'Housewives Heaven' ngeh ngeh..

No worries, no pressure, no dateline, no meetings, no rushing... :D

By the way, this is another delicious page-turner by Sophie Kinsella, catchy and of course hilarious!!!

And since it's winter and 6.30pm is already Isya, and at 9pm, already feels like midnight, so everyone sleeps early too.. 

And since I've turned into sort of a disciplined mommy (konon2 laaa ngeh ngeh),

my reading time is set to only before I go to sleep, on the bed, with only a tiny lamp switched on..

So, I ended up laughing like an idiot in the middle of the night hehehe!!

Ehem.. of course there's a loophole, though I've said reading time is only before I go to sleep, I've decided that is only aplicable when I haven't gotten to the climax of the story :D 

Seriously, if you are a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella, then this is a must read!! 

And even if you are not a fan of her, you still should read this, it's really really nice!

mmmmmm.... ok, just a lil bit more, this is my latest piano cover, as I've said before, this past week had been a 'Lagu-lagu basi mode', so this is the first lagu basi I've played, not so successfully though.. the ending was a bit huru hara :P

Anyway, Enjoy!!

Sape yang tengah jiwang bercinta masa lagu ni Top dulu, suka lah tew hehehe...

Ok, lastly, came across this yesterday, 

"Kemudian sampaikan khabar gembira kepada mereka yang beriman dan beramal soleh, bahawa bagi mereka syurga-syurga yang dihiasi oleh sungai-sungai yg mengalir. Setiap kali mereka mendapat rezeki dari buah-buahan di dalam syurga, mereka mengatakan, 

"Rezeki ini adalah rezeki yang telah diberikan kepada kami sebelum ini"

Mereka mendapat rezeki yang serupa tetapi berlainan hakikatnya.."

(Surah Al-Baqarah: ayat 25)

It occurs to me that in heaven, we'll actually have the same kind of life we have now on earth, we'll have the same things we have now, whatever we love to have and already have, we will have it there again.. only in heaven, it's far far better, far happier, with no more tests, no more worries etc etc.. it's unimaginably beautiful...

So, lets work for it ;)

Housewife's heaven...

A few years ago, I would strived to make sure that I'd have my own career, I couldn't imagined myself staying at home for the rest of my life...

For me, life at home was not a life at all...

I've gone through almost 2/3 of this marriage with me busy completing a bachelor degree in IIUM, a year ++ as a full time housewife in Malaysia and 2 years as a full time housewife here in Deutschland..

In that 1 year in Malaysia as a housewife, I had many plans for myself, to further studies, to get a job, to start my own business etc etc..

I just couldn't stand it, couldn't bear life as a housewife.. I found it utterly... boring...

But in these 2 years of life as housewife in Deutschland, I have not even felt the slightest boredom, I have no longer wished a life as a career woman, In fact, I don't want any other kind of life but, the one that I have now !!!

I don't know if this feeling is only temporary or not, because being a housewife in Deutschland is very highly acknowledged, and appreciated..

I got scolded once by my Deutsch teacher for saying,

"I have no profession, I'm a housewife.."

And she got all emotional and said,

"Housewife is a profession!! you cook, clean, take care of your kids, bla bla bla... maybe in M'sia it's not a profession, but here in Deutschland it is, bla bla... "

hehehe

So I guess, I've already have a profession and it's the best !!

Count my word on that, and recently, I've discovered something from one of the stores here, a painting boards... lots and lots of them, with different sizes...

Oh my, suddenly, the desire to paint again overwhelmed me heheh..

So I started last week, my 1st trial, I bought a small board 1st, in case in turned out disastrous :D

But it didn't end up disastrously, fortunately enough for me hehe..

I tried a simple and kiddy kind of drawing 1st with Fatini nearby, watching me closely, scrutinizing details of my drawing, and repeated the same compliment over and over again,

"Wow... cantik nya mama lukis !!"

For a 4 year old, cantik sgt la painting ni, but.... hubby was also impressed???!!!!

Aiyo, wait till he sees my real paintings... haha !! :D

Just kidding, i'm not that good actually, but hubby said there's part of me that has never been exposed, or that part of me that he never knew about?? hehe

Maybe he's right, there's so much desires in me, to paint, to play music, to decorate, to come up with something different, but none of it was possible in Malaysia, the exposure was just not there..

But here, everything seems possible and is made possible by existing opportunity..

I'm not so good at any of it, but I can certainly make something simple looks attractive.. but again, it lies in the eyes of the beholder..

Some people might find it not even the least attractive hehe..

For example, I found this from a different stores, and combining it...

Tadaaaaa....

Not bad huh ??

Or, this...

And this...

Just a lil bit of imagination, and there you go...

By the way, the whole house is like 'kedai bunga' already hehe..

So, what a great life a housewife can have, you have lots of time to start your hobby, to do whatever you desire, as for me, I have so many things to do in one day that time never seems enough for me...

I have lots of time to read, currently, i'm on this interesting Mary Higgins novel...

And, I have lots of time to cook too..

Not just any cook, I can try any new recipes any time I want !!

This one is called Irischer Auflauf, obtained from Nuraliza's blog, sedap tau, I suka !!

Later I'll post an entry bout this recipe :)

And also, I have lots of time to play piano, to learn Deutsch, to start painting, to spend times with the kids which is priceless, to help Afeef with his homework, to go out and have fun anytime I want, and most importantly, I have lots of time for ibadah, isn't that cool ??

Isn't housewife the best profession ??

The answer is YES to me, and it's heaven on earth, and I know, later in Malaysia, things might be different, everything might not be as sweet as it is now, but...

Life can be interesting anywhere, everywhere right??

With God's will, everything is possible..

And, the truth is always there, God has plans for all of us, it might not be something we like or what we wanted in the beginning, but turned out to be a bed of roses, and with a lil bit of realization and a positive thinking, the truth will hit you.....

That life, wherever you live it, is full of blessings, in it's very own way..

:)

A Day In The Life Of A Desperate Houswife Hahaha..

New achievement for this new year, yesterday I went to the clinic all by myself, of course the kids were with me, but..... hubby wasn't around for the first time!!!!! hehehehehehe....

I know I know, it's probably nothing to most of you, but here in Deutschland, and for a desperate Housewife like me, it is really something, heheh..

Well, you know why, language problem..

I was always so afraid to converse in Deutsch, so afraid of any mistakes I might make, and so worried, what if I couldn't understand what they were saying...

But now, I have more confident, and also no longer afraid to make mistakes while talking in Deutsch and also used to 'muka tebal' when I didn't understand something ngeh ngeh..

So yesterday, at least, I made it through the receptionist fully in Deutsch, and tried full Deutsch with the Doctor too, but I had to surrender because......

She knows English, so why bother racking my brain right ??? Trying to find the right words and also straining my ears, trying to understand what the doctor was saying.

Ok, that was the first achievement,

Second achievement, again, in Deutsch class yesterday, I participated in discussion hehehe, no longer the quiet me.... ngeeeeeeeee

We were talking about our last Birthday's Celebration, and I know, I made lots of mistakes, but... so what ?? If I can speak fluently already, then why should I bother attending the class rite ???

Thank you Allah for this new confident in me.. may at least, I'll be as good in Deutsch as I am with English.. Amin... (walaupun English pun x bagus mana, ngeh ngeh )

And also, million thanx to friends and family who always give their words of encouragement, may Allah bless you guys.. :)
