Kissing toads

I spent Thursday night alone since my bedmate had some work to finish but he promised he would return early the next day, follow with a dinner session. I was smiling to myself despite not having any friend to gossip before dozing off. Reason being, we sure will have a nice Valentine’s eve together. Not that we are celebrating, but you know just for the sake of playing along.

Plus he is not the type that will send me dozens of roses leave alone to give presents on V day. In fact there was only once when he sent me French handmade chocolate but that’s it. Honestly if I were younger I would go berserk and probably feel sad, why the hell won’t he celebrate the day but now..hmm. No need to do so. All I need is his presence.

But as I wait for the evening to come, came an email

[Petname], I think will only go home late as usual today. But we still have dinner togedder ok. [sometimes he likes to spell things in a funny way, konon kiut la tu [eh tapi aku rasa kiut pon haha] ]

Cloud of disappointment surrounded me by the time I finish reading the last line. By the time he reached home, it would surely be dark and I doubt that any nice restaurant would still be open. But come on, we are both grown up so there’s no need to over react.

It’s just a dinner anyway. Yeah right.

To kill the time and my boredom and to distract my mind, I bloghopped till I land on one of my STF senior’s blog, Mrs. Nordin. Her entry for today somehow brought back my mood.

Some excerpt from her blog

So, I was single for a while, bumping around in KL with Mdm Tai Tai and my other girlfriends. But without fail, I’d wake up every morning wishing that I’d meet my future husband on that very day..

By a simple twist of fate, after a good 10 months of bumping around, I finally met MrN ~ BF No. 5 and current husband ~ who took me on a whirlwind romance like I’d never experienced before. A dear friend told me, “BJ, you had to kiss a lot of toads first before you found your Prince…”.

The phrase “BJ, you had to kiss a lot of toads first before you found your Prince…” is really something.

There are times when I wonder what I would do if I were given a chance to change what I had gone through. Frankly speaking, I do want to erase some of my memories especially those that made me cringed or made my heart felt like it is being stabbed again and again whenever I think of them. It would be more than nice if I could delete one or two people in my life [but if you give me the chance to shoot them, that would be much much muchhhh better]

And I used to find myself asking “Why are You doing this to me? Can you let me live, be happy like everyone else?”

But if He did not do what He did to me, probably at this moment I am still waking up everyday with a wish that I would meet someone who would melt my heart and want me more than anything. Probably I would still be looking at the same cacak hair guy, with strong perfume and loud so-called-cool friends. Probably I would still be shallow and not giving chances to people who are not in the same circle as mine.

If I had not kissed so many toads, probably I am still wondering how many Valentine’s more to go for me to actually feel wanted and needed.

I do agree when people say God works in a funny way, I used to pray so hard for something. I pray without fail, every day and every night but He gave me something else instead. Something that was not what I wanted but not knowing that it was all I that I needed. Not really a prince but enough to make my heart flutter everyday.

While I was still engross in my reading [I read her archive], I saw a familiar face beaming at the door.

“You said you have some work to settle?”
“Yes, but I just want to come home and have dinner together”

With that, my valentine’s day this year is simply wonderful.

love love loveeee

Hope yours are great too.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Archangel and malaikat

Epy gave birth to a baby boy last week and I only had a chance to visit her and baby Raphael yesterday. When I arrived she was alone since everybody left for work and she refused to be taken care of. Aku tak tahu apa masalah dia lah kan but she was doing great. Sangat skillful dalam menghandle baby dan tidak kekok lansung. The most important thing was, she looked bloody healthy, not as helpless as I thought she would be [memandangkan dia sangat lembik ok].

So I asked her about her labour experience dan ceritanya adalah sangat membuat aku ketawa sampai nak terkencing sebab minah ni menggelupur gila ok. And she nearly terberanak dekat up town sebab despite her contraction yang sudah datang, siap boleh pegi OU dan Uptown bagai untuk shopping. Bila dah sampai hospital dah terbukak 6 cm dan bermulah episod menggelupur Epy.

Anyway, her baby adalah sangat baik. Diam dan berbudi bahasa. Tidak menangis walau sedikit pon.

Epy and Raphael

Happy mama

Sungguh angelic seperti namanya.

After meeting both of them I picked up my teman makan malam and head for dinner and talked about Epy. You knowlah, on how happy she is and bla..bla.. blaa.

Me:You know, initially she wanted to name his baby Gabriel and then decided to go for Raphael.
He: Oh. so they like archangel names huh?

Me: I guess so. I wouldn’t mind naming my kids after the angel names too, although I prefer them to be the muslim version like Jibrail or Mikail.
He: Yeah, I wouldn’t mind Jibrail either.Eh but I actually when I was young, I loved to read books [ok he mentioned some myth or dunno what booklah, aku tak ingat] about angels and love this one angel. I think I want to name my kid after this angel.

Me: Whatlah?
He: Azrael, it’s in hebrew.

Me: Huh? Isn’t it..
He: Yeah, it’s Izrail for muslim.* Sengih

Me: …………………..

Kenapakah nama malaikat maut jugak yang kau pilihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

Anak orang mintak susu malam-malam, tapi nanti anak aku..

“Mak, mintak nyawa boleh?”

in deep thinking,personal opinion,relationship

“Aku tak tahu dah apa nak buat, why can’t I be happy like everyone else?”

I often heard my girlfriends say these words. They claimed that they helpless, the wish they could do something to be treated right.

They are helpless, yes but they CAN have do something to be treated right. I don’t like to think my self as an expert because haha all of us know that I am not but I speak from my own experience and observation. From my past mistakes.

If you want to get the treatment you should be getting, start from the beginning, se awal yang mungkin. And have a strong, firm heart. Wobbly heart tidak akan membantu.

Howww? Hooooooooooooooow?

  1. Don’t ever take something that does not belongs to you

    You want to take something which belong to someone else and then you expect to be happy? Ok yes, let the best women win but heh remember, if he can choose you over his ex, he can also choose someone else in the future over you.

  2. Know what you want

    The problem with all of us women [including me hehe], sometimes we don’t know what we want. Event when it comes to order food, we are still not sure and ended saying

    “You order ajelah apa-apa untuk I”.

    Tak pun tengah bergaduh-gaduh when the guy asked “Tell me what do you want me to do ?” , engkau terdiam sebab tak tau nak jawab apa. So before asking for attention, love or whatever, determine what you want. Nak suruh urutkan kaki ke, nak suruh bawakkan shopping be or whatever you want

  3. Tell him what you want

    Women have extra senses, they can sense certain things [or perasan boleh sense certain things hehe] but not men. Walau macamana kuat pon kuasa telepathic kau, dia takkan paham, you need to tell them or give a VERY OBVIOUS hint. Hint-hint sipi-sipi tidak akan berjaya.

    Usual method: Bestkan kalau dapat pergi Genting?
    Correct way: I nak pergi genting, jom?Jomlaaaaaaaaaaa jomlaaaaaaaaaaaa. Kalau you tak nak, I tarik handbrake ni [hehe tambah second ayat itu jika anda perempaun saiko]

    Usual method: *Jeling-jeling bag
    Correct way: I want this handbag. Maybe not this month, but next month please?

    Yela memang bestla kan surprise surprise tapi tak best ok bila kau dah kasi hint dia tak buat-buat jugak, lepas tu mulala nak cakap “you tak paham perasaan I”. Nak paham apa, dah kau tak cakaaaaap.

  4. Say please and thank you

    Sometimes I can’t help noticing some women are rude or doesn’t seem know how to give the smallest credit to their partner. Ada yang wahhh lagi depan orang lagi garang siap order-order tapi yang terover PDA aku menyampah jugak rasa macam woi balikla woii aku nak lepak bukan nak tengok B grade teen movie. Saying please or thank you will not hurt you. Make it a habit from now on. If you can say please and thank you to your boss, why can’t you do the same to your partner?

  5. Never ever unhook your bra to make him loves you

    This is what I alwayssssssssss hear from my girlfriends.“I don’t knowlah babe, he’s so loving and caring tapi after that dia angkat call aku pon tak”

    Like duh. Of coursela he’s so loving, dia nak pepet kau. If he really wants you, he will wait and would not mind just keluar jalan-jalan makan-makan. Unless you guys want to have fun and does not need attachment itu lainlah.

    But NEVER EVERRRRR berbogel in front of a man to make him loves you, unless you guys are married [ini pon ikut mood jugakla kan hehe]

  6. Stay calm during arguments

    If he yelled, you don’t have to, try to use your calmness to make him realize yelling is not helping.Anger management could be quite an issue. Jarang nak tengok lelaki menjerit tapi kadang-kadang memang ada lelaki suka nak tinggi-tinggi suara menyebabkan darah kau naik. But when he raised his voice and you raised your voice too, things will get ugly. Instead of competing whose voice can reach the top note, why don’t you calm yourself and ask him nicely or tell him that his high pitch is so not nice to hear.

    I know sakit dalam hati Tuhan yang tahu but you will appear less stupid compared to him. And he might calm down too thus save both of your energy bergaduh. Tapi kalau dia jenis lelaki gampang, nak jugak maki-maki kau dan pukul-pukul kau, kau tak payah banyak cakap, blah je lepas tu biar dia menggelupur sendiri.

  7. Teach him how to respect you

    First, you must respect yourself. Knows your limit untuk bergurau or menerima cercaan. Memanglah boleh ditegur tapi takdela sampai kau dah kene maki habis-habisan kau nak diam. Also, being together does not mean you have to share everything, you have the right not to give the password to your email address, facebook accounts or apa-apa lagi. Itu semua privacy tapi kalau nak kau nak kasi jugak, then it’s up to you just that, I still think you need to let him respect your privacy.

    Oh also, you should do the same to him, screening his phone calls and emails are not good ok.

  8. Kau jangan mengamuk-ngamuk tak pepasal boleh tak?

    Oh yes bloody hormones, don’t we hate them? Like you, he also does not like to be yelled, cursed tak bersebab. Ehem, I always have this problem especially bila aku nak period. Akan ada satu perasaan taik datang yang kalau silap sikit komfem aku rasa nak tolak-tolak dan tumbuk-tumbuk sambil cakap

    “you bodohhhhhhh you bodohhhh you tak paham I eeeeee I nak gigit youuu nak tumbukkkkkk”

    but instead of doing that I will say “ I think I am not in a good mood, might be getting my menses soon and might be a bitch. Sorry ok kalau kejap lagi muka I macam taik ” . Sometimes, when you are lucky, he will picit-picit your badan and bring you a cup of tea.So sebelum kau jadi perempaun gila, tell him how you are feeling. Nicely

  9. Knowing when to say sorry and when not to

    Say sorry when it’s your fault, ego will not bring you further when it comes to the person you love. There’s nothing wrong with being humble but you don’t have to say sorry when it’s not your fault.

    Example: You found out that your partner is seeing someone else, you confront him and he starts yelling, so you pon apa lagi hotlakan, gaduh-gaduh, defend-defend, tipu-tipu, you ended up apoligising, instead of him doing do

    That, you shouldn’t do.

  10. Accept his flaws and tell him he should to

    Kalau dah muka dan gaya dia macam Mahmud bin Jasin janganlah kau berharap suatu hari nanti dengan pertolongan tangan fashionista kau dia akan bertukar menjadi Brad Pitt. Mungkin dia bolehla bertukar kejap dengan segala DKNY, Armani Exchange dan segala nenek brand tapi kejap je tu. Kalau dah seumur hidup dia pakai seluar cap nyonya, nanti 5 tahun akan datang dia tetap akan kembali pakai seluar cap nyonya. Percayalah cakap aku, jadi either kau terima dia as Mahmud bin Jasin atau kau carikla orang lain.

    Juga, you should tell him the same, your raisins tits will not turns into watermelon no matter how often he sucked and modified it [naturally tapikan]. Terima jelah tetek kecik. Kalau tak nak, belahla wey, suka akula nak tetek kecik ke apa.

    Eh teremo.

    Bottom line is, if you can’t accept his flaws and expect him to change, tsk tsk you better think twice.

  11. Always learn from mistake

    Whatever is done, is done, you can never undo them but what you can do is making sure they will never happen again.

    Do not ignore the familiar signs; do not fall for the same sayang cinta tak-boleh-hidup-tanpa-you kawen line unless he shows some proofs.

    Kuatkan hati tu sikit. Takpela kalau terlepas pon, bukannya berkualiti sangat pon. Sekejap je dari lepas ni kau menangis menonggeng-nonggeng.

  12. Knowing when to let go

    Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, when they are not meant for you, they will never be. I am not saying that you should give up easily, no cuma when they are obvious sign, maybe it’s time for you to leave. What signs?

    I don’t know that much but I can think of some

    • When he starts to hit you. Hit as in tumbuk terajang. Don’t tell me you still want stick with a dickless guy like this?
    • When you caught him cheating more than once or twine or even thrice. Enough saidla kan?
    • When you spent more time crying in your relationship rather than feeling happy and blessed

    Pedih memang pedih tapi sampai bila nak tunggu, sampai dah anak lapan?

But the most important thing is, before anything, love and value yourself, because if you don’t nobody would.

But bunnies, I might leave some other points, any others on your side?
