Penguin RushSurvived 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....!!!!
