housewife duty

For the past few weeks, Ijul and I were busy shifting from house to house. We were supposed to settle at his place in KL but since we just got married, it's better to be at family's place most of the time rather. Furthermore, it's Ramadhan now. Break-fasting with family is more happening than just the two of us. Unless, if we were on a break-fasting date ;) 

NEH !! do u actually believe what I wrote above?? LOL ..

I'm a spoilt kid and that is the main reason why we are still stuck at my parent's place and of course, his too (gotta be fair to him)

Few hours before going to KL, my mind starts thinking about so many things ! food to eat, clothes to wash, house to clean (the simple stuff) & when can import the maid to come help me clean, what to cook for hubby & is the ingredient ready.. and stuff like that.. ya know, the housewife stuffs.

Refreshed memories on the recipe , planned on what to cook for sahur,when to start cook, are all the ingredients there in KL?  and yada yada yada. It was pretty difficult in my case. at home, food is already there waiting for me to eat. I was worried sick. Afraid if I fail to please my husband. 


I could give myself few credits with the cooking skills that I have, but I'll save it once I'm a PRO ;) 

As we were about to go home to KL, my mother in law (stayed at his place during the weekend) offered the extra food from dinner to be brought home for sahur. I sighed in relief ! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh , thank uuuuuuuuuuu ibuuu ! =D 

tomorrow morning, just need to re-heat the packed foods and cook rice ;) ahhh that would be easy brizzy ;) 

goodnight all ! 

took her awhile to adapt

Have I told you before how my siblings and I always sleep together almost everyday? since we were small actually.. except for days when i was at boarding school or abroad.


and that is one of the reasons they were sad when I got married. cos we can't sleep together anymore. 


Imagine four of us on a queen bed? however, one person needs to sacrifice and sleep on the floor since there are five of us. 


Ellyssa would always join the "sleepover-party" and has always been sleeping with me since I got back for good from melacca.


I would watch cartoons with her, watched her play games and yadayadayada.. 


She got adapted to the whole routine. 


comes to my room with a bottle of milk - play games - watches rapunzel or how to train dragon on my laptop - falls asleep


After our reception on 2nd of July, Ijul moved in and my room was out-of-bound.


Ellyssa was excited that her abang ijul is sleeping in the house and in my room. All the sudden, she asked , "Can I sleep with you and your prince?" 

p.s: i explained to her before getting married in words that she'll understand, 

" abang ijul is my prince and i am the princess. we are getting married and will live in a castle in KL." since then, she called ijul, "kakak's prince"

First few days.... she came to the room , chit chat with ijul. played games with ijul. and didn't want to go out. I had to shooh her to mom's room. 

Locked the door. 

She returned, knocked on the door few times.. we had to pretend sleeping and ignore the knocking.

Took her 3 weeks to adapt the out-of-bound rule. *chuckles*

Yesterday, Ijul went outstation for work and stayed there over-night. i invited Ellyssa to sleep together. 

She asked "your prince is not coming home tonight?" .. few times. I guess she had to make sure . hahaha

and we slept together last night. she was very very happy.

same routine. milk - games- this time no movie coz after game she fell asleep. 

the numbers that picked us ;) 1.JUL.11

How's puasa treating all muslims so far? Hope all are well and good ;)


It was our first time spending Ramadhan month together as husband and wife, and our 1st terawih & pre-dawned meal & break-fast were at my parents' place back in Subang Jaya.


Yesterday, 1st of August, marked our 1st month of marriage ;) We got married on 1st of July 2011.


Extra special that date. We didn't plan the date. That date chose US.


Initially, they'd planned our solemnization ceremony on 8th of july , just before my hotel reception (9th of july at that time , before we postponed to 17th july due to political rally). 


I didn't mind at all since 8 is also a special number.


8 NOV 2005 : was his first message to me
8 / 8 / 2006 : our first date
22 / 8 / 2006 : when he told me he wanted to take things serious. we moved from friends to in a relationship on this date.
8 / 8 / 2010 : when his family came for 'merisik'


See the EIGHTs? I love eight. but Eight wasn't for us..literally 


My family planned to have 2 receptions. solemnization~home reception~hotel reception. Hence, 8/7 is not a good date as things will be awfully packful & hectic to squeeze all 3 ceremonies in 2 days ! 


Another date proposed for us was 24/6 2011. I was okaaayy with it because of the pretty number 2.4.6 .. but nothing significant with that number. 


We told them we wanted 1.7.11. 


1JULY2011 - if we break it into half and ignore the second half, i'll get this 
--> 1JUL .. and husband's famous name is IJUL (remember?) that is why we love 1JULy2011 


another reason is because of that 1 infront and 11 at the back, make my card and cert looks nicer. =)) 
1 July 2011 ..


All of the sudden, my parents and his parents discussed and decided that 1st of July will be our solemnization ceremony ! yay !! 


I told dory-hubby that you will never have any reason to forget our wedding anniversary, because your name is on that date . he laughed.


Few days back when I was going to and fro from subang jaya / bkt jelutong to setiawangsa, I realized his house number is LOT 117.  there's a 1, there's 11, there's 7 !  AWESOMATIC ! 


see, the number picked us. Suggested to him to have our plate number 17 on our future cars  .. 


1st of july (1/7) , yes yes ! and and.. 


1+7 equals to...?? YES , EIGHT !  ;)) (literally our wedding date is not 8, but mathematically.. YES! ) 


magical isn't it? 


Alhamdulillah, everything is in Allah's hand and Allah has decided to give us pretty numbers on every special moments ;) 


To all muslims, husband and I would like to wish you a Happy Ramadhan ! May this fasting month brings us closer to HIM, makes us a better person, and tightens the bond between families and friends !! Happy fasting and may Allah blessed us all . We would like to apologize for any wrongs done.
