Yeay, a new entry!
It's been a while. Been busy. Doing stuff. You know. Well, you don't know. Haha.
I'm elated with 2013, hence the update. Yepyep, 2013 is looking great! So far, it is. Huhu. Let's just hope that it gets better and better and even better.
So, what happened? It's only been 1 and a half months, right?
Let's start with my sister's wedding. My eldest sister, on the 25th of January 2013. It's something that I had been wishing for, for years. Even in my prayers, sometimes. Being the eldest, she has been sacrificing a lot for our family since father passed away in 1991.
I prayed specially for it in Makkah. And when we went to Jabal Rahmah, I prayed for it too. Don't worry, I prayed for all of my friends as well, especially ones that were close to me at the time.
So finally, it came true. My sister got married to someone she's in love with! Of course my wife and I helped her as much as possible for the wedding. I helped booked the catering, and also ordered the old-school ice creams (aiskrim potong) for dessert. Most importantly, we made her the most beautiful door gift (given the time and budget). We bought hundreds of jam jars in Puchong, washed them and decorated them. Thanks to my wife for the creative decoration!
Everything went well, alhamdulillah!
So what else happened?
Let's go back to the week before the wedding. I finally got myself a camera! It's a white Nikon 1 V1! A present from my wife, how sweet of her.
I've always wanted my own camera. I'm amazed by the fact that we can capture beauty. Almost magical. But the most important thing now, I want to take pictures of my beautiful wife and my future children. Children grow really fast, don't they? I don't have many pictures of myself when I was a child. And I'm the kind of guy who has a bad memory. I forget things. I don't remember much of my childhood. Therefore I'm gonna take lots of pictures of my kids as they grow up!
I'm still trying to work out on how to produce a good picture. Somehow a DSLR seems a bit easier to handle.
Is that it? There's more, of course!
It happened a couple of days after the wedding. My wife did a pregnancy test and it turned out positive! I'm gonna be a father! Yeay!
She easily got tired the whole week before that. And a day before that, she said she wanted to eat some oranges. That alone triggered my brain to suspect something. She never did like oranges. Hmmmm....
And now she eats things that she previously disliked, e.g., cendol, bahulu, karipap, bubur lambuk...weird~
It's even weirder when she finds it hard to eat the thing that she loves most — Chicken!
We went to scan for the baby a few days ago. It's truly a miracle looking at something so small in there with a heartbeat. What's more, it's a part of you, and a part of the one you love. There's nothing like it. Nothing.
My wife is having sickness day and night. I'm taking good care of her and the house as well. After all, I did that to her, right? Gotta take responsibility. Haha.
Alright, end of story......NOT!
One more important event! Happened on 17th of February 2013. Our first wedding anniversary! Time sure flies. It flies really fast.
We didn't get to celebrate yet, though. She's still having pregnancy sickness. Difficult to eat. Can't travel far too. So we're postponing it to when she gets better, perhaps after the first trimester. We're gonna have a blast!
Happy anniversary, darling! Love you! Barakallahulana wabaraka'alaina wajama'a bainana fi khair.
That's all, I guess. Well, good things happen everyday if you wish to count them all, right? Alhamdulillah for everything that He had bestowed upon me and my family.
If I were to finish my thesis before June then that would be another awesome event happening in 2013. Hoping for the best, trying my best, and may Allah give me the best. For me and my family. May Allah bless you guys too.
