Penned Down #32: No More New Year's Resolutions

Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings), 

I could not help but apologize for the temporary negligence back then. It is just that I was having some stuff recently which required me to have it dealt with my sanest mind rather than emotionally taken. But hey, what’s life without the ups and downs. No?


Well I guess it is not too late to wish everyone a great ‘Happy New Year’. Those trails left by 2013 have sure affected our lives personally; be it pretty or ugly. But I sure did welcome the arrival of 2014 into my life. For every incoming New Year, comes the tagging hope for a brand new start. There is no resolutions for me here. It is just that I don't really trust in words-uttering-only but no guaranteed actions to take on.

Besides, I believe that most promises are made to be broken. Call me indifferent but that’s what I think. I have seen enough things and I am quite sure that not everyone has held onto their own words as they were expected to. Not even I, myself or those people around me since I have lived for 27 years now.

Enough about my New Year’s story for I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those who have been recently tying the knots. Month of December has always been a favourite wedding month to most Malaysians due to its long, extended school holiday involved. My own wedding was even held in the same month. Teehee.

'Us at one of relatives' wedding - wayyy back before'

Again, congrats to all newlyweds for having the guts to step further into another phase of mutual life. A piece of advice for what its worth; marrying someone means we are marrying the in-laws as well. When we choose to live with our spouse, bear in mind that we choose to live with his/her family too. So always be fair to both families in future. 

Trust me, there will be times when we are gonna have the slightest feeling that one of the in-laws might not like us or whatnot, but always take deep breath and rethink again. It is not possible for everyone to always like us; we ourselves don’t even like everybody. So be cool with it and let time does its thing until everything turns out good eventually. 

Being married and in-love will not guarantee a happily ever after life. It is all depends on us to make the marriage works as it should be in the next 50 years. Marriage is neither about granting us the license to sex nor the legal production of the offspring. Marriage is about living together between the two so we shall find comfort in it. 

We may find small things to argue about, but never let that small thing takes over the relationship. For Muslims, a wife’s place is with the husband so try not to prioritize other things or anyone above the husband. Do bear in mind for a wife’s heaven is in accordance with how her husband thinks of her. So be nice and have respect to each other. 

Last but not least, always enjoy our marriage for every minute of it!
