Marriage & Motherhood

How time flies. And with great speed too ;) Went out with my great girlfriends yesterday, Zuraidah & Eryanty both a Mom and a Mom-to-be respectively :) So guess what? The topic-of-the-day was not surprisingly on 'motherhood'! hehe




All-Girls' Day Out...I really enjoyed it. Zuraidah is doing great and is still gushing over her feelings of completeness as a woman. Eryanty, though 6-mths pregnant, does not even look past 20 years old, much less married and soon-to-be mother hehe;) But I'm very happy for her. After what she's been through, this is the greatest gift that Allah has granted her. Ya Allah, kuatkanlah semangat sahabatku, dan permudahkanlah segala urusan baginya, Ameen... :)

Reaching 23 yrs of age, I do have my fair share of 'mother's instinct'. (yeah? hehe) Kebetulan pula, my mom is babysitting my cousin. Having to see him grow and develop in front of me never fails to amaze (and amuse? hehe) me ;) He's sooo adorable. I used to babysit cousins before, but this time it's quite different. Maybe, it's my age. Or am I getting older? hehe :p




Baby Darwish is getting naughtier every single day but nevertheless, I enjoyed it very much. When Zuraidah shared with us her daughter's karenah stories, I shared Darwish's hehe. Macamlah anak sendiri :p It invites mixed reaction from Eryanty, though, as she is expecting a baby boy. I think I scared her with little Darwish's Naughty Adventure. hehe. I love him so much.

Sometimes, I do wonder what life is all about. I'm 23, have been through school days, college hassles, university life...but I just can't get enough of everything. Makin lama makin rasa banyak lagi yang perlu dikejar dan dikerjakan ;) A year of working experience teaches me A LOT. About people. About life. About Myself. I'm pursuing my post-grad studies. What's next? Master's? Doctorate? Wow. The list just goes on and on.


Or maybe I'll just get married. Have babies like Syaza & Darwish. Stay at home, make breakfast, lunch & dinner. hehe :) Live a tai-tai life. Yeah right. I can't even stay at home for a full single day now. So used to be out most of the time. Can't imagine myself as a housemaker :) But who knows?


Life is so full of uncertainties. Macam-macam boleh berlaku. Banyak dugaan yang mesti ditempuh. But how do we prepare for what's to come? Mentally, emotionally and physically? Itu belum termasuk financially. Apapun, yang penting objektif kehidupan kita mesti jelas. Kalau ada pasangan, we share our expectations. Discuss about it. Have an open communication.


True, life is not a guaranteed smooth journey, but do prepare yourself with a well-maintained & full-fuelled car. And don't forget to stop for rests along the way... :) Haiz..my lame philosophy, but who cares?! hehe As long as I like it.


Ok, tadi dah bercakap pasal orang yang dah ada anak dan sedang menunggu anak, now I'm featuring a picture of a couple waiting anxiously to be married. May Allah bless you.
