The Special Man

Given my opinion on some men... (just read some of my past blog entries), it would take a very special man to capture my heart. There were times when I was convinced no one ever would. There were times when I believed no man would dare mess with a very opinionated lady hehehe...

Then, he came into my life.

From just an acquaintance, he became a friend. We have a lot of things to talk about and I love the intellectual stimulation from our conversation. He's brave too... to take lasers and fires and zingers from me :) He must have very impenetrable armour.

I can't exactly pinpoint the exact time my feelings changed. Do I miss our conversation or do I miss him? It wouldn't matter which and it wouldn't matter much of what I felt if he didn't miss me too. But... he did.

Accepting him wasn't easy at first. There were many things that have got to be considered. The 'time-off' taken to really think things over... I just felt miserable without him. Finally, his sincerity and determination won me over. He's not perfect... but he's a very special man.

You all can now call me... Puan Sue :)

Sometimes I can't believe I'm a married woman. I've always referred to the married women as 'they'. We're from a different class, a different species, a different planet. 'They' talk about things that I wouldn't understand or didn't bother to like household gadgets and stuff. Now, I'm part of 'them'. I probably should pay more attention to what they have been talking about before.

Is there a handbook for the newly married lady about stuff they should know? Are there any FAQs anywhere about being a wife? Hmmm... I guess he just have to rough it out while I figure things out.

Recently when I went shopping with Ben, I looked at the normal type of blouses I normally like to wear and she said, "hey you should look for ibu-ibu (motherly) stuff now." Sheesh Cik Ben, I can be married and still look young, trendy and sexy you know. But... I think my hubby would agree with you on this one. Young, trendy and sexy look must cover butt and not too tight hehehe...

How does it feel to be married? A lot of adjustments have to be made. While I'm used to do things on my own, it feels nice to have someone to share everything with. Few days ago we slept early. I was still tired from my outstation trip and he's tired from staying up to finish work the previous nights. He has to wake up early to do some more work so I got up too. I wanted to sort out some documents but decided to wash the dishes first. That's when it happened.

The attack of the ratatouille!

Yikes! Aaaarrggghhh... Mickey mouse is cute, Jerry from the Tom & Jerry is cute, Ratatouille is endearing... but NOT this ratatouille. Aaaarrggghhh.... Where did it come from? How did it get in? It's BIG! And it has got nowhere to go. Hubby's on the sofa, I ran to the sofa too. After convincing him that he should be the one to open the sliding door, I watch in apprehension for any crazy move from the BIG rat. After some erratic movements, it went into hiding at the corner behind the sliding door curtain.

Hubby said now it's my turn to chase the rat out with a broom. I took a broom and said now it's his turn. So armed with a broom, he took the mission to chase the rat out from the house. I felt so proud watching my handsome knight in shining armour armed with a 'penyapu' completing his mission successfully :) Then, I closed the sliding door. See how well we work together? Hehehehe... I told you he's a very special man.

Abang, may we have many more successful missions together, may our love grow stronger each day, may we overcome all the challenges in life, and may we have happily ever after. I love you so much.

By the way, if you read this and are surprised how come you're not invited for the wedding, that's because we only have a small nikah ceremony and the kenduri will be held later. Just wait for the invitation and pray for our happiness. Thank you dear friends. I appreciate it so much.
