NoThiNg In CoMmOn...?

"We have nothing in common.."

This is the typical answer when asked why their relationship never worked out, or why they've ended up divorced. Typical typical, other than 'we were never meant to be together'..

Is this thing about having something or many things in common truly important??

To be honest, I used to think the same way, but now no more. I have come to realized that 'Having lots of things in common' does not guarantee happiness. Let me tell you my story...

Me and Hubby have almost nothing in common, seriously, almost nothing!!

I love musics, playing piano is my passion, guitar or any kind of musical instruments, and he loves them not haha..

I love horror and romantic movies, he loves action movies..

He has such passions for world issues, talk shows, and he could sit for hours in front of the TV listening to the news and I have no interest in them.. hehe

He loves all the scholastic reading materials, I only read novels.. haha

I have passions for food, new recipes, cakes, but he never cares bout how they taste like, he just eats them as long as they were edible.

I'm crazy bout coffee, and he loves them not..

I prefer to stay at home but he loves travelling, go out and see the world!

He loves all kinds of sports, I on the other hand prefer to be the spectator hehe..

He goes out to town only when we have things to buy, but I love window shopping haha!

He has positive attitude towards anything and always was so sure of what he wanna become, whereas I always find things difficult to deal with and still uncertain of what I wanna become..

There are many many more, in short, whenever I listen to this song by Juliana Barnos, I will think of us, as if this song tells a story bout us;

"Ku ke kiri, kau ke kanan,

ku di belakang, kau di hadapan,

Bila ku marah, kau ketawa,

Dengan selamba, kau berkata,

Kita berdua jauh berbeza, Langit dan bumi tapi serasi,

Mencintaimu, mencintaiku,

Itu saja yang perlu kau dan ku tahu..."

I was aware of this facts long time ago even before we were married and I used to wonder,

'Could we ever make it? We have almost nothing in common..'

and now, after living together for more than 7 years, I've come to realized the absurdity of that 'we have nothing in common' statement. And if given a chance that I could somehow go back in time, I would still marry no other but him. Even though we have nothing in common, we've learnt to respect each other's interest, and learned to love them too..

Then again, hubby has what it takes to be a good husband and father.. he's a very responsible man, fulfilling our needs in every single aspects, love us, care for us, he's the family man...

he changed diapers for the kids, bathed them when they were only a few days old, stayed up all night with them when they were sick, and I know there are lots of  other men out there that do the same thing but there are also many others that don't, and I'm thankful for he is in the first category.. and most importantly, he'd never asked me to be anything or anyone else but ME.... To hubby, insyaAllah you are the only LOVE of my life...

NaSik GoReNG USA!

Teringin sangat nak makan nasik goreng USA, was craving for it, teringat Restoran Ayuthaya kat Kuantan, nasik goreng USA nye memang sedap. Salu teringat. Memang my favorite dish masa kat Kuantan duu... found the recipe on Nieza's blog (Our Journey Begins).

Sape2 yg nak try bole la check it out kat Nieza's blog ye.

Memang sedap, though I didn't have all the ingredients, like green capsicum and carrot, but still was delicious!

Next time nak wat lagi yg complete version nye hehe.. Thank you Nieza for the recipe, memang marvelous!

Next try, nasik biryani Nieza plak :)

HaNgInG OuT..

Last Saturday's activity, other than 'main game', was hanging out with Hubby's friend. This guy's name is Nureddin, I'm not sure if I spell this correctly hehe, but he is one of hubby's closest friend here, he's from Turkey but been living in Deutschland for a long time and he just got married a few months ago. That's his wife, Humaira, a very nice and friendly lady..

Nureddin is able to speak three languages perfectly and fluently, English (with American accent lagi tau!), Deutsch and of course Turkish. Can you believe it? I found that utterly amazing..

ok, anyway, Nurredin had helped us a lot on our 1st few days here. He was the one who lent us a temporary stove before our kitchen equipments were installed, and also provide us with mattresses and also took hubby to the Supermarket with his car and helped him identify 'halal' foods.

And all this he's the one yang belanja... and hubby said, he's always like that, always want to be the one who spends for others.. Very generous of him, may Allah bless him and grant him with more...

We had a great time, Thank you so much to both of them.. may both of them live happily ever after.. macam fairytale la plak haha..

WeEkeND's AcTiViTy...

Activity di setiap hujung minggu... khusyuk btol kan...

Abaikan la rumah yg bersepah ni, kemas kemas pas 2 saat bersepah balik hehe.. nak vacum pun salu trgendala coz ade budak kecik yg akan menangis sekuat hati bile vacum di 'on' kan. Kena tunggu papa ada br senang nat wat ape2 keje.. nak wat camne kan, dari tiga anak, yg ni lah paling clingy. mama x bole jauh dr die.. kdg2 x dok atas riba pun, tp tangan tu msti satu letak kat riba mama nak make sure mama x pegi mana2 huhu...

Tido pun atas riba, kalau nasib baik, letak atas tilam die x jaga, tp kalau nasib x baik and memang salunye x baik, die akan jaga and mula la nangis.. huhu.. Kena la dodoi2 lg atas riba sampai tertido balik.. ngade2 btol nih..

Today papa is not around, gi Universiti, jadi budak brdua ni je main game, mama join kejap tadi, tp sbb clingy baby ni bising sgt, mama trpaksa berenti. Kalau papa ade, papa join skali, bertiga diorang akan main game bersama, camtu lah tiap2 wekend..

Tengok la minah yg pantang nmpak camera tuh..

Yang ni plak mmg khusyuk.. Sangat suka dgn game nih, a few days ago die merayu kat mama,

"Oh bitte mama (dat means, oh please mama), bagi la Afeef jumpe Aunty tie skali je, afeef nak sangat tunjuk game ni kat Aunty tie, nak sangat main game ni dengan Aunty Tie! bitte mama bitte!"

mmmm... Aunty tie, kalau baca ni, dtg la Germany cepat ye.. ade budak ni dah rindu sangat...

Masa kat Malaysia dulu pun, Afeef mmg rapat sgt ngan Aunty tie nih, ape2 je msti nak tunjuk kat Aunty tie. Hopefully bole terus rapat wlupun jauh.. Jauh di mata, dekat di hati kan..

Ni la die game Mario Bross yg mnjadi kegilaan bdk2 nih, juga orang2 tua dlm rumah ni hehe. Maybe kena beli lg satu remote, biar berempat bole main kikiki..

JuST ThE WaY ShE iS...

I always believe that psychological approach wuld always work for all children and I've been using that method in educating and bringing up my children for the past 6 years and it has always worked for Afeef... unfortunately, it is not as easy for Fatini as it was with Afeef ***sigh*** well, I guess Fatini is too special??? hehe..

She loves to snatch away watever Aleena's playing with, usually I wuld persuade her to return it back to Aleena, but she rarely listens.. aiyooo.. and always has something to say... like today, as Aleena was happily playing with her princess necklace, Fatini came to her and snatched it away;

"Ni Fatini punye rantai!"

Aleena started crying, so I said to her, "Fatini x baik ambik adik tengah main, sian die, Fatini baik kaaaannn??"

She just stood quietly, shaking her head..

I said again, "Fatini suke x kalau Fatini tgh main toys, tibe2 ade orang ambik toys tu?"

She looks thoughtful for a moment, then said,

" Sape ambik toys Fatini?"

Ok, now who should I say?? Afeef never snatch anything away from her, in fact, he would give in to her in anything! Even if he was playing with something and suddenly Fatini wants it, he would give it to her, sometimes without complaining!

So I said, "Kalau tibe2 mama ambik toys Fatini tu, Fatini suke x??"

Grinning she said " Ye suke.." hahahahhh

Ye la tu, she knew I wuld never snatch anything away from her!!

Anyway, she culdn't help herself sometimes, especially when it comes to her princess's stuffs.. but many times also, I noticed how she strokes Aleena's hair and back and hugs her when she was crying and I was in the middle of something couldn't come to her immediately for comfort. And Fatini was there to offer her one. There were times also, when she could restrain the urge to snatch away watever Aleena was playing with, and get something else from the toy box and offer it to Aleena for exchange. Hahaha smart kan? and sweet too..

Watever it is, no matter how notty she may gets sometimes, I always make sure that I hug and kiss her as much as I do for Aleena everyday.....

Ambik gambar Aleena ngan crown ni pun kena cepat2, sebelom Fatini nmpak Aleena pakai crown die hahah.
