We Are Married

I know being married for one month is not really a huge achievement (unless, of course, if you are Kim Kardashian or Katy Perry). But, it is nice to have little celebrations for those small achievements that, when combined together, will eventually become a huge shining trophy. People like to keep track of the big stuff that they forget the little things. Those little things count for something, too. That one time your husband remembers to take out the trash without you asking him? That one time your wife lets you sleep in? That one time you did that little crazy thing? I am a huge believer of the little things. I believe that the little things change our lives more than the big things. After all, those gaps in our lives, are better filled with the little pieces of puzzle than the big ones, simply because they can fit better. So, remember all those little moments and keep them close to your hearts. You may one day discover its magic.

Although the word "fun" consists of only 3 letters, it has many different meanings depending on who you ask. Dearest and me define "fun" differently; I think going to museums is fun, he finds amusement parks fun. No, I do not really enjoy amusement parks. Yes, I mean that. I know, I know. But, that does not prevent us from having fun together. I think what really defines fun is who, not what. Even the lamest activity can be fun, when you are doing it with someone you love. Yes, that was a somewhat cheesy sentence. But, honestly, I think it's true. After all, marriage is about compromise and sacrifice. So, sacrifice your definition of fun and relax! Try out different things together. Who knows? You might surprise yourself. All in all, I thank Allah because my husband enjoys shopping almost as much as I do.

Small words are never tiny.  Everyone can search for those big big words and use them to appear mighty. But, manipulating the small everyday words is an art; one false step and a masterpiece turns into junk.  So, take your time to form your piece of art using those small words. Piece them together in the best way you can and present them to your loved ones.  After all, they deserve the best of you.

We have been married for a week now. It was like the intro of a documentary in Discovery Channel..and, I do love documentaries.  This 1st week of our marriage has been great! Well, you know how optimistic and dreamy newlyweds are. During this great week, I have learned: 1. It is okay to say it twice 2. You only know how you feel   1. It Is Okay To Say It Twice I consider myself as an independent person. During the times that I actually ask for help, I will ask for it once, and, if the other person did not manage to do it (either because they forgot or pretended to forget), I will end up doing it myself. But, in marriage, you cannot do everything on your own.  It is really okay to repeat that plea, because, for all we know, the second plea may just get us what we want. Throw away that temptation and that pride (and the laziness! "Malas nak cakap banyak-banyak kali")  because we are now in this together and it is important to keep that togetherness.  S...
