It's not easy...

I find Diah's latest tips for newly wed is so interesting.
All brides-to-be, do take note!

When I was preparing my wedding, I remembered asking a friend how does it feel now that her status has changed.
She just got married and settling in a nice crib...

She said, "Letih jugak...
It's not easy taking up new responsibility being a wife...".

I thought I understand her statement.
It took me months to realize how clueless I was!
Now that we're an entity (Q&A) ~ we had bunch of things to do, places to go, events to attend, etc. Apart from learning about each other, adapting getting into his life and him into mine, there are a lot more in between.

I do agree with Diah the part that we didn't expect it would take a lot of energy to be a perfect wife. It didn't occur to me earlier in our marriage...

Then A was away for duty travel months in total.
I was literally back to my single life.
Currently he is around since 5th day of Aidil Fitri... and was just assigned to local site that is 20 minutes away from our home.Such bliss.
Then it hit me. I honestly enjoy acting housewife and do all the chores around the house. But I can’t help whining… Haha. Bukan la all the time. But there are times when I have to do things repeatedly ~ berkali2 dlm sehari… baru je smlm I mop, esoknya ada bekas tapak kasut… atau I baru je susun throw pillows kat sofa, lepas beberapa jam ~ bersepah di ruang tamu…

Oh laundry. There were the days, for some reason I can’t even lift my hand, he once took charge and hit the button on the washing machine, without removing some tiny pieces of paper from his pocket… Pastu I la yg nak kena brush off all the habuk from the fabric! One t-shirt took me almost an hour… I’d rather hit the button myself next time… Haha. *padahal dulu masa bujang ok je he does all the things by himself, kan...

I know I shouldn’t be complaining…
He does things as well...
Taking out the garbage, help me mopping, etc.
Sometimes he cooks. Good food…
Nasi lemak, nasi ayam, lamb chop, semua sedap gila
and some are better than mine...
And I seldom have to do the ironing, coz he goes to work wearing collar t-shirt and jeans (bos & manager pon pakai camtu je...).
Baju2 pon xbyk nak lipat coz mostly we hang aje...

When I read Diah's Rahsia Kebahagiaan Rumahtangga point no 3 tu sgt kelakar. So instead of membebel, I cakap softly kat A,
"Ha, letak la kat situ... Sok pagi ada la makcik tua yg datang kemaskan..."
*coz I normally tidy up early in the morning before he wakes up.
So one weekend I was so tired to get up, I continued sleeping after Subuh without tending to the mess. He woke up, went out of the bedroom and came back saying, "Yang, arini makcik tua tu tak datang la... rumah sepah..." *while holding his laugh.

T____T Tsk. Sakit ati, tahu..!
