Pisces (amended so that it sounds more rhythmic)

It is the eve of my birthday :))

This year, I am grateful for:

1) the life as a husband and as a head of my own family,
2) the wife whom I marry to and how she completes me,
3) the 'child' that I carry..., I have a fat tummy already? Oh no baby....(pun intended),
4) the responsibilies that come with being a husband and a head of family,
5) the amazing feelings of being in LOVE (now I know how it feels like). I think falling (much deeper) in love after marriage is the most wonderful thing.... ooh laa laa,
6) the families who stand by me and how it has grown in size, now that I have families-in-law as well,
7) the friends around me and how the number has grown bigger, now that I have friends of my wife as well,
8) being born as a Muslim who believes in Allah The Almighty and Nabi Muhammad pbuh as His final messenger (prophet), and be it the same religion and faith that me and my families embrace (Insha' Allah), when we exhale our final breaths on this earth,
9) the health, the wealth, the sanity, the peace, the ...........
10) all other good things (although of course, there'll be shortcomings and bumpy roads sometimes) in many more years to come, with those whom I love and those who matter to me, Insha' Allah............

Alhamdulillah....

Pieces

A great song by a great band (SUM 41), and also what great lyrics - Somehow, it gives me a deja vu, or has it really been...?

PIECES

I TRIED TO BE PERFECT
BUT NOTHING WAS WORTH IT
I DON’T BELIEVE IT MAKES ME REAL
I THOUGHT IT’D BE EASY
BUT NO ONE BELIEVES ME
I MEANT ALL THE THINGS I SAID

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

THIS PLACE IS SO EMPTY
MY THOUGHTS ARE SO TEMPTING
I DON’T KNOW HOW IT GOT SO BAD
SOMETIMES IT’S SO CRAZY
THAT NOTHING CAN SAVE ME
BUT IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

On my own

I TRIED TO BE PERFECT
IT JUST WASN’T WORTH IT
NOTHING COULD EVER BE SO WRONG
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE ME
IT NEVER GETS EASY
I GUESS I KNEW THAT ALL ALONG

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

Heavier and Rounder

A few people made comments about my physical appearance since I got married. They said I've gained weight and my tummy is 'rounder' in shape. Talk about 1-pack abs huh? :)))
AAARRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH !!!!! (somehow I heard Homer's voice of The Simpsons in the background), I don't want to be the first one (instead of my wife) to get 'pregnant'.
Better get back in shape from now on. More sit-ups (if not other forms of exercises), and less foods especially the fatty ones. But those foods look really appetising, inviting and drool-inducing (ahhh....) After all, I'm a much happier person now. What's the harm of enjoying another pleasure of life, i.e. having more varieties of foods to eat/devour, now that I have a partner to share them with (although most of the time, my wife just looks on hehehe).
Will keep you updated on this weight-watching progress.

Azan Software

Guys and girls (especially my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters). This is a great tool software for us all, available FOR FREE - to remind us on prayer times (among other things that this software is capable of).

It is one of the most popular religion softwares, according to CNET Download.com. The Athan (Azan) software can be downloaded at http://www.islamicfinder.org/athanDownload.php

Features of Athan Basic 3.0:
· Automatic Athan (Azan) at every prayer time.
· Prayer times for more than 5 Million cities.
· Hijri and Gregorian calendars.
· Athan (Azan) from Makkah, Madina and Alaqsa.
· Dua after Athan.
· Customized calculation methods.

Or, you can also help this non-profit organisation by downloading Athan Pro 3.0 for $29.90, which contains many extra features that the Basic 3.0 lacks in, like:
· Athan (Azan) from Makkah, Madina, Alaqsa, Egypt, Lebanon, Bosnia, Pakistan, and Yusuf Islam.
· Quran recitation of selected Suras with option to add more.
· Set different Athan reciter at different prayer times.
· Rotating pictures from different Masjids.
· Qiblah direction in graphical format.
· Send Athan alerts to users in your local Network.
· Customized color options with many color skins.

So fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, what are yo waiting for?

Survived and surviving...

Hmmm.... what should I say,

..... I survived the road accident that happened two days before my wedding. Nothing to be alarmed, I'm fine (thank God), but the car is still stranded at the workshop until today,
I survived the wedding ceremony and managed to utter my wedding vow in one attempt,
I 'survived' the first family dinner with my wife and in-laws......
and now, me and my wife are leading a new life and adapting to changes.......

Overall, what we went through during the past two weeks? There was 'majlis khatam Qur'an' for my wife, the wedding ceremony itself, agenda on visiting relatives, the honeymoon to the East Coast of Malaysia, my wife spending time with me at our condo etc. etc.

Although only 2 weeks old, our marriage already faces some unexpected and bizarre obstacles that we have yet to overcome and never thought would have happened to us (I don't want to elaborate on that though) ....

Putting that aside, anyway, I feel like I can hardly function well at the office this week (I started work on 09 February 2006, but my wife was still in KL last week). My wife is now back in Muar, Johore, working at the Tangkak Hospital. We went back there last weekend.

As for me, here, in Kuala Lumpur (KL). Her application to be transferred to KL has been rejected and we are now appealing. Now that we have our marriage certificate as a supporting evidence, hopefully that will speed things up.

I hate being a 'bachelor' again. If only the distance is much nearer, I wouldn't mind travelling to and fro everyday. Or perhaps, I'm the one who should go back and live in Muar....? Hmm, something to think about.... seriously......

Everything reminds me of her; my colleague's spectacles, the car of the same make that was parked outside the LRT station last Sunday (the plate was CPQ XXXX, while hers is JHQ XXX... ok, I know only the letter 'Q' is the same, but 'Q' is not common in car plates right?), the woman's driver that passed by me this morning etc etc. I even called an Indian colleague Ija (my wife's nickname) yesterday.

Also; the empty house, the empty bed, the unused kitchen, her giggles, her perfume, her voice, her presence ............ I also miss touching/patting her, making her laugh, talking with her, praying with her (being her 'imam'), helping her out, driving with her...... MISSING SOMEONE IS SOMETHING THAT I'M USUALLY NOT VERY GOOD IN DEALING WITH .....

Meantime, I just love everything about being married (and she does too, as she had shared with me the other day). The fact that my life is more organised, I'm more well-fed and well-nourished hehe, better motivated, being taken care of etc. etc.

For the time being, I will only be a weekend husband. I just can't wait for us to live together, EVERYDAY, instead of just weekends (for the reasons already mentioned and for many other reasons, of course).

Up Next: The trip to India (first thing first ok, since I haven't really covered this memorable journey); the wedding and the honeymoon, plus tons of photos to accompany these entries (which will be available at my website too). See you soon....!!!!
