It's our 9th Anniversary

Assalamualaikum, 

Kami menghentikan siaran Kembara Istanbul seketika bagi menyiarkan satu pengumuman. Hahaha cam announcement kat Radio or TV je ye. Hahaha. 

1st February lepas was our 9th Anniversary. Aku, buat tahun keduanya hampir-hampir lupa. Kalau aku lupa, ed lagiiiilaaa lupa. Muahahaha. Aku teringat pon on the day itself. Pagi anniversary tu, baru teringat and he sent me to the airport. Sebab aku nak balik Kuantan. So tak dapatla nak celebrate anniversary. But from previous years pon, mana ada celebrate apa sangat pon. Every day is a celebration, what.

First 3 years of our marriage aku rasa mencabar. Maybe all marriages are like that. Orang panggil tempoh penyesuaian. So masa ni banyakla gaduh dan sentap bodo-bodo (We still do this kadang-kadang hahaha). Alhamdulillah, we got past this. The next 4-6 years was the year we got complacent or rather take each other for granted. Hahaha. Dah confident sangat memasing. Balik rumah buat hal sendiri jek memasing. Kekadang aku kat living room, dia kat bilik, buat hal sendiri sampai le memasing masuk tidor. Ada masa-masa terasa gak jauh from each other walaupun berada dalam 1 bilik.

The next 7 years till now, ialah tahun appreciating each other more. We come to terms of what we have and what we don't have. And for what we have we are forever grateful, and for what we don't, we accept that Allah has better plan for us or will bestow us when the best time arrives. I thank Allah for lending me Ed, which I hope for my entire lifetime and hereafter.  He helped me to become a better person, a better wife, a better daughter and most importantly a better muslimah.  Thanks babe.

Aku pon dah makin cool sekarang. I pon dah seldom nag. We accepted each other for what we are. Dia pon dah makin kurang moody. Dah tua-tua ni moody buruk benor kan. Aku pon dah kurang merajuk bodo-bodo. So more good traits revealed in both of us, instead of more bad traits. Alhamdulillah. Another good thing that we learned along the way was not to have unrealistic or too idealistic expectations of each other which if not fulfilled makes us feel disappointed, Communication pon lebih baik. We found a way to argue constructively or put off  to discuss things at a better time instead of masa tengah berapi-api tu. But we are far from perfect ada masa-masanya sentap jugak. Nama pon manusia kan. Tapi tak de lah sentap lama-lama.

Aku doakan kami berdua dikuatkan dan dipanjangkan jodoh. Moga jodoh kekal hingga ke sana. Moga kami diberikan kesabaran untuk menghadapi cabaran berumahtangga ni. Dan moga Allah akan berikan yang terbaik untuk kami. Amin. Buat korang yang mengikuti kisah aku dan Ed sejak tahun 2005 lagi dan sentiasa mendoakan yang baik-baik untuk kami, thank you all.

Nota : Aku rasa sangat appreciate the time Allah has given me with Ed bila aku baca blog ni. She lost her husband in December 2010. Boleh baca, bersedialah untuk menangis. Boleh baca di sini http://meenyusuf.blogspot.com/ sedih sangat. But elok untuk kita wife-wife yang kekadang banyak je nak rasa tak puas hati dengan our husbands.

Nota 2 : Jalan-jalan pergi Istanbul tu kira hadiah anniversary in advance aci la kan..hehehe.
