FIRE IN THE KITCHEN

"Remember this: Fire in the Kitchen" - Mak Yah

When there's a fire in your own kitchen, it's your job to put em out. Do whatever it takes; water, extinguisher or blow em out if it's possible. Because it's your house, and it's your kitchen and you started it. Only call the firemen when it spreads. Only THEY know what to do.

That's marriage according to my aunt. whatever happens between you and your partner, stays between you and your partner. Seek help from the expertise (read: Jabatan Agama Islam) ONLY if it gets worse. Nobody else can help you.

90 DAYS LDR CHALLENGE: DAY 8, 9 & 10

Assalamualaikum!

Wow it has been so long since I last update this. so here goes...

Day 8: Do you two have a song or a song that reminds you of them right now?

Well we don't really have a song but I like to think 'This I Promise You' by N'Sync as our song cos well it pretty much reminds me of him. Plus, he shared that song for more than 3 times to me. Or maybe it's just his favourite song but still, a lovely song.

The Day he put a ring on my finger...💗

One of the "must-do" car selfies before sending him off at the airport

Day 10: What do you hope for your relationships in the future?

I hope nothing much but to love each other unconditionally til the day we die, inshaAllah.. Ameen

I love you sayang 💗💗💗

90 DAYS LDR CHALLENGE: DAY 6 & 7

Assalamualaikum!

Day 6: How often do you see each other in person? What about over video chats?

He had come back home for at least 3 times this year and I would always make time to see him as many times as possible. I mean I never know when will I ever see him again.. We seldom do video chats but we made it possible to talk to each other on the phone for at least once a week. We see each other over text messages almost every day. 

Day 7: What was it like the first time you two talked?

The first time we talked, huh? It was very casual, very spontaneous. Well there were silence in between but it was not awkward, at least I don't feel any. We talked about being research assistants and movies we've watched.

We only do self-introduction during our first time texting each other. We talked until about 1 a.m. 

We talked again in person during our first outing together, not as a couple yet. We went out for a movie and it was nver a dull moment with her. I don't have to always check my phone, not even listening to the songs in the radio. It was fun. I know I had fun when these two things happened.

90 DAYS LDR CHALLENGE: DAY 3, 4 & 5

Assalamualaikum!

I decided to combine Day 3, 4 and 5 of the challenge in one post because the questions are kind of related. So...

Day 3: How long have you two been together?

It's been 6 months 8 days 12 hours...

I'm kidding.. hahah

It's been 7 months and 10 days since we were officially together; 

and by together I mean as boyfriend and girlfriend.

We've known each other since January 4th and we were friends for a while before deciding to take a step forward.

Day 4: What was your first impression of him?

Hmmm.. My first impression of him? 

He seems like one of those good, Ustaz-like boys.

He was wearing a white robe, of course, I would think that.

Hey but don't get me wrong! He is a good boy. 

He's a Mama's boy in fact. which got me hooked. Hah!

Day 5: How did you meet? Tell us your story!

Okay.. This gotta be a Hindustan kinda story. We were introduced by our parents. Yep!

Okay, my mom's best friend introduced us. Apparently, my mom's best friend is his aunt and she planned it with his mom and my mom just went along. Her aunt gave me his phone number. I didn't wanna contact him first because I had a boyfriend back then.

And then his aunt invited me to dinner at his place since she's in town. Again I hesitated to go because I had a boyfriend. and apparently my boyfriend (now ex) didn't even care if I go, so I just went. And then we get to know each other, broke with my boyfriend and the rest is history 💗

If  I hesitated another second,

If my boyfriend (now ex) DID care that I went,

I wouldn't have met you. ❤

Our first meeting. Clockwise from front left: my mom, Aunty Ramlah, Aunty Yot, Aunty Dewi,
Him, Me, Aunty Morzie, Aunty Jijot (his aunt), his mom

P/S: I'm sorry I'm doing this challenge wrong but heyI'm still gonna tell my story
