Preference.

Some like tea, others like coffee. Some like it hot, some like cold. Some take it with sugar, others with milk or creamer. Some like it in a cup, others prefer it in a mug. Well, that is all a matter of preferences. Yes, preference is the title of today's post.

We human beings are so spoilt with preferences and choices. That is one of the reasons why we are so distinctive and unique than any other creatures. We have options that were determined by our preferences in so many things in our lives.

A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation about travelling and holidays with my husband. As you can see from my previous posts, there were numerous stories about us travelling and how much we both enjoy that sooooo much! Okay, let's get back to the real story. Hahaha!
We talked about places to travel, activities during that stay and so many things. We talked and talked and realised that we enjoy travelling places, food and many more. Then it made us wonder about others who love to travel for various other reasons like shopping, hiking, diving and the lists go on and on and on.

It's just a simple conclusion for these. Preference! Every individual has their own personal preferences regarding everything. And that include, travelling! We shall never condemn other people whose interest against ours and that we shall respect their choices or preferences.

There are some people who loves to go on a shopping spree during their holidays. Cities like Paris, London, Milan, New York offers a lot of great bargain especially branded goods, so I think those who love shopping for these items deserve to splurge on whatever they wish to buy.

Some enjoy exploring the nature at its best. Countries like Nepal, China, New Zealand, The USA, Canada and a few others offer one of the best hiking and mount climbing spots in the world. So those who are adventurous will definitely enjoy all these places. Me, not so brave enough especially anything to do with heights. I admit that I am an acrophobic ( I guess those flying years didn't really help me any way!)

Diving in Maldives, Mauritius, Manado or even our own Mabul Island in Sabah are great for those who enjoy being nibbled by the fishes. Haha! Just kidding. These places are divinely gorgeous with incredibly amazing marine life and coral reef. And guess what? I am afraid of fishes in the sea. So, I will just enjoy the breathtaking view of the ocean without dipping myself in it.

Theme parks are so fun! I love them so much but I don't know why that I am so freaked out when it comes to roller coasters these days. I guess I am a coasterphobic now. But I know my husband loves it so much. I guess that I just don't have the guts nowadays.

Okay, enough of descriptions of all these places and what to do and yada yada yada.
It is just preferences. So, we shall not judge others by places they love to go, things they love to do during holidays, or places they've never been before just because we've been there and done that.
It is all a matter of PREFERENCES. Go figure yourself.

So, please stop talking about how other people suppose to travel or choose the 'right' destination for them because we should be the one looking at ourselves and do what we like best without being nosy about other people's affairs. Enjoy your holidays folks!





Travel...

I miss travelling!! Help!! My kind of travel is easy going. But when can I go??? My love, please help!!
Haha! Will write more on my next post when I am free. Ciao!

Life as I see it...

Howdy everyone? It's been quite some time since my last post. Also, it wasn't that great of writing. Haha! I guess I wrote it out of frustration. Nevertheless, it helped me to release some tension through writing.
 
I went through a rough and tough period of my life those couple of months. Not only that, it affected me so much that it almost ruined my marriage. Thank God that I am stronger than before and I love my husband and children even more now. I believe that it was just a phase in my life and lesson I've to learn that life or marriage aren't always rainbows and butterflies.
 
Something sparked my sister in law and she burst into anger and we had a huge argument. After all, I know I am not her dream picture perfect sister in law. I had to defend myself and answered her. That clearly angered her and unfortunately she behaved in an extremely imprudent manner. Pity my Mom in law had to witness that. From that moment, I knew I had to move out in order to make things better at least, for my family.
 
I know she has her own side of story and honestly, I truly don't care. Alhamdullillah that we managed to buy a small shelter for our family and InsyaAllah we'll move in by next year. It was a tough and huge decision but we had to. 
 
Chempaka Naura is attending a play school now. FINALLY!!! She loves it and I love it too. It is nearby and I love the environment. I love the Principal and teacher. Best of all, she enjoys it there. And that is the most important part. We tried 2 play schools before sending her to Miss Gurdeep's, but I guess she didn't fit in those two. And I guess I didn't really like it there too.
 
Melur Maira is back to Gymboree and she's totally the opposite of her older sister. She's more observant and Chempaka Naura is hyperactive. I am trying to get use to it. Chempaka is more like me, jumping around like monkey and chatty. Melur is more like Shafiz, calm, cool and a little shy. Haha! I am so excited when I see them fighting for the same toy or making each other happy by playing and sharing together. They are so unique and special in their own ways.
 
I am blessed to have my husband supporting me and loving me for who I am despite the friction between me and his sister. He keeps me going every day. Telling me how beautiful I am despite the pimple attack, telling me I am a smart person even though I don't go to any prominent universities, telling me I am a great Mama to our kids despite me yelling and nagging to them sometimes, that I am a nice wife although I hardly cook at home. And so many more. The list is endless. Thank you my love for allowing me to be part of your life. And I am sorry for any thing that I've said that might hurt your feelings, any thing that I did before that humiliated you and most of all any of my shortcomings that you might not like. You are the most accepting people I've ever met. I love you so much just the way you are.
 
Being married has made me a tougher person. It taught me how to compromise and accept each other in order to live comfortably and happily. I learned a lot about life, about other people and so much more. I've become more accepting and even calmer than what I was before. I got more 'Hidayah' and Alhamdullillah, I thank Allah for that.
 
I hope our marriage will last forever and I will never take our love for granted no matter what.

 

 



They are the one who always keep me going...



I'm Back!

Hi there people... Finally I am back blogging again. Haha! Sorry for being so absent this few months. I have so many things to write, so many pictures to upload and experiences to share. I am wayyyyy happier now than I ever before. Thank you my love, Shafiz Yusof. Thank you for making the decision that made a huge, massive, humongous difference in our marriage. I can't thank you enough for all that and I love you even more and more each day....
