life b4 and after marriage
I used to go out for movies once or twice a month, hang out with friends, get time to workout, hang out in the Library, shopping complex, the beach, go cycling, take long walk, no housework on weekdays, watch tv serials one after another if back home after work, sit infront of the computers till 3-4am, hanging on the phone, going for classes (religious) on weekends, go for driving classes, shopping with sisters, no bills to pay except handphone & internet bills, for that I gave tuitions, read storybooks till morning if I am not done with it...
My life after marriage (1st year)
We go for movies together once or twice a month, hang out in the Library, the beach, shopping complex, go cycling, no housework on weekdays, watch tv serials at home if both of us are broke, sit infront of the computer for an hour the most, NO hanging on the phone, NO workout, going for religious classes on and off on weekends, STOPPED going for driving classes, seldom shop with sisters, handphone bills (his and mine), internet bills, cook for DH, wash DH's cloths,irons his cloths and sometimes he helps me iron mine too :-), make tea for DH, if DH tired from work, give him body massage(free labor).
My life after marriage (after 1st year)
We go for movies once every half a year, NO time for library visit, no beach, shopping only when we need to buy things for the house, watch tv for less than an hour or so, sit infront of the computer for half an hour (only on sats), housework everyday, cooking on weekends, more houseworks on weekends, doing laundry whenever the basket flood with cloths, bills and more bills to pay every month, FORGOT how to drive at all, no body massage for DH as I am more tired than him having to look after DZ, DH and our home. Instead I get body massage (sweet revenge) hahaha.
I enjoy being a wife and a mother as much as I enjoy being a daughter to my parents.
>> so my dear Yani Hunie Bunie, my advance congrats for your wedding...I am sure you have started the countdown...
`cheers

Local News
Yesterday I read an article from the newspaper that the government is restricting its people to visit the madrasah(islamic schools) in pakistan. But no restrictions in going to pakistan, maybe NOT yet. But I will be surprise if they impose the restriction. I guess they are just increasing the securities after the london bombing. Sometimes I wonder how true are the informations found in the newspapers. We don't usually question them and we learn what's happening in the world from the media. What about those pakistanis here who wants to educate their children back home in their country? Will the government allow that? I remembered I had a discussion with my mom once about zoha's education...well it is too early for her but she has to learn the urdu language anyway. Mom was suggesting leaving zoha with her dadi n dada for a year so that she can learn their language too. My DH was very happy to hear this and he agreed with the idea. Of course I was the one to object. I can never be away from her even one day let alone for one year...no way. Zoha can pick up urdu from her papa and she can attend private school to learn how to write in urdu. I want zoha to have an education here as well. I know my DH since 1999 but I have yet to pick up the urdu language :

Well my boss have just stepped out of the office. She has gone back home. I have another half an hour more to go before heading back home to my zoha. My DH did not call me. Well obviously for some reasons he did not. I don't want to mull over it. I am contented reading all my favourite blogs and just thinking back my past. If anyone noticed, a couple of blogs I have linked to my own are those whom are married to pakistani. Well I enjoy reading their life experiences and having married to a pakistani myself, I see some similarities in experiences there. Bringing back to my past and thinking back of those days when we are not sure of our future together. Now having been married for two years and with a daughter, I see the future together, Inshallah. Lots of tears been shed before the 2 years and lots of happy moments after the 2 years especially the birth of my child. That is one lifetime experience that can never be erase from me. The sacrifices my DH made and the tough time we went through, it will also be in me forever. The tears I saw in his mom and dad on our first visit there with zoha, that I will not forget too. Sometimes it is good to think about all these when one is not feeling blissful at the moment. Having to said all these, I think I am feeling much better. oK another 5 more mins to go and I better end this here. Thanks to all the blogs in my blogmates list.

my first trip to the zoo. 
Here is a picture of me on the cow (mooo.mooo.. moo...) with mamma making sure I don't fall.
my first time to the zoo. mamma was so sweet to bing me to the zoo. I was so excited that I got up early that saturday. I was all ready to go and mamma n papa had the house clean by then. We received a call from my auntie (my mamma sister). She looks just like mamma. Of course they do because they are twins. She said she will be there to pick us up. I was very anxious and keep looking at the cars if my uncle is behind the wheels whenever a car turns into the carpark. There he was finally. My buddies were all inside the car. Mustaqiim bhai, Mubarak bhai, Muhsin bhai and Firdaus bhai. We were all very noisy inside the car. Once we reached the zoo, we got our ticket from uncle Faizal (who was very nice to have invited us to the zoo for his company's family day). We had our lunch at KFC. Mamma feed me my favourite whipped potato. I had two small ones. She gave me strawberry glucose after that. I enjoyed my lunch and was excited to see the crowd. We took lots and lots of pics. Mamma and auntie keep making sure that all my bhai(s) stay together. We saw giraffe, zebra, lion, tiger, monkey, parrots, snake, goats and lots and lots more. I really enjoyed watching the animals. Most of the animals were very lazy as they were sleeping or sitting down. The monkeys were the only one that were jumping around the trees. We even took pics with the monkey. But thanks to the elders, they forgot to collect the pictures after 10mins. We even saw elephants. They were really smelly :-). All of them ate ice-creams except me. Mamma said no ice-cream for me. She gave me my strawberry drink. I was very thirsty as it was a hot afternoon. At around 5pm, we went to watch a sea lion show. I really enjoyed that one. I was very tired at then end of the day. By the time we walked back to the car, I was already sleeping. I had a great day in the zoo. Thanks maama, papa and of course Uncle Faizal for the tickets :-)

It is L's bday today. My boss sent out an email one month ago saying that she had bought the present for L. It was a bad news for the rest. That was because we did not like her choice of gift and we know that she doesn't buy the gifts, she just take something out from her storeroom, wrap it in a nice wrapper and present them. We actually pay for them. We were all waiting for today to see what is inside the nice wrapper this time. It was a box filled with seashells on the cover. My dear L was shocked to see small cockroach-eggs inside the box. Isn't that disgusting? The other presents that came out from her storeroom were photoframes, bags, pen etc. There was no ink left in the pen and the photoframes were old fashion. I remembered receiving a table cloth from her last year and I am very sure she did not buy the cloth for she will not shop for materials. I wonder why she is doing all these things. We told L beforehand not to look forward to the gift. At least the cake was nice today. It was a chocolate cake and of course my boss was not the one to get it. She actually emailed us saying that one of us should go and get the cake. The cake was "sponsored" by our immediate supervisor. She is really a nice lady and yup all of us enjoyed the cake only. The next on the bday list are myself and H. They usually give our gift at the same time. We are seriously thinking of emailing everyone and letting them know that we don't want any present this year. I am definetly not looking forward to my bday.

no news is a good news? 
shopping for our household things...inshallah. Tomorrow is pay day and harp's treating us to a nice TAJ restaurant...how nice :-)
I can't agree to this now. I am waiting for a reply from NIE and it is the beginning of a new week but still no news from them. Am I IN or OUT??? How I wish I can be a home maker and taking care of my gal. But it will be too strain on my hubby to take care of all expenses alone. We need to save up for our little gal too. I am sure I will not be working all my life. I don't know why I am so desperate to change my job. I am doing well here at my present job but I think I am not learning anything anymore. I have dreams...wishes...that I want to attain. Of course these are the extra things in life which will make our life better and only if God wishes, I will get them one at a time. oH tomorrow is 12 July. It is bonus time- my pay day yesssssssssssssss! Tomorrow I am a rich woman (just for one day) hehehe, MASHALLAH. I have been postponing my shopping for a week now. This weekend me and hubby can go
shopping for our household things...inshallah. Tomorrow is pay day and harp's treating us to a nice TAJ restaurant...how nice :-)12:52 AM |1 comments

I am going crazy
Things not going the right way for me in the office...no motivation at all. I am going crazy...my boss stole part of my suggesstion and put up a new suggesstion under her name...great. My dear harp actually wrote her a email saying that since my suggesstion is almost the same as hers, the management should also implement my suggesstion...she actually voice out for me...damn me...why am i a coward????*uuufff* My boss somehow had the last say...that always happen. I just wish for one thing now. Why don't the HR people from the NIE call me up for interview??? Since I just submitted my job application to them yesterday, I should give myself more time before giving up. I should trust myself more. Why is that so difficult to do now? I am stuck her for 6 years now and thanks to colleagues like harp, caiwei, yani, XL n the rest, I am able to survive at my workplace. I will wait another week for the call. If I don't get this one, what to do...I just have to keep trying.
