challenges.

challenges we faced are not easy,
but it's not something that we couldn't handle.
because god wouldn't give someone more than what one can handles.
we are all capable of achieving.

sunday,
i helped out his mom in the kitchen as guests came over his house for raya.
i was assigned to do all the cutting of vegetables.
i admit,
i did a lot of slicing today.
until my hands still smell of onions.
luckily we can get along so well that i don't feel uncomfortable being in the kitchen with her.
conclusion?
frankly,
i do enjoy using the knife to slice the object that is on the chopping board.
cooking?
i don't feel the pressure yet.
the partner will understand.
but i will learn how to cook for the sake of my husband and children.
why children?
you ask people around, especially kids in primary schools
what is your favourite food?
answer: my mom's cooking.
there might be 2 reasons to that answer.
1. since young, their tongue are 'tuned'/adaptable to their mother's cooking.
2. they normally eat mom's food.
it's an exception for those mothers who seldom cook.
so yes, i have to learn to cook when the time comes for my children.
there's a saying that goes:
“the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.” Fanny Fern (1811-1872)
confirm, chop, i have to cook.

the partner's grandfather said that he wanted to meet my parents.
my guess is to get to know them better.
he will meet them one fine day.
his chinese relatives asked him "how? next year ah?"
i can assure you, it won't be next year.

when guests had depart,
the partner and i were exhausted from entertaining the guests that we slept.
in different rooms that is.
when you are already tired and sticky,
shower is the only thing that refreshes your mind and body.

i'm going raya with the girls today.
let's hope it's a smooth and easy one.

honey,
thanks for your silliness.
i didn't see something normal in you,
there are reasons why i chose you.
thanks for the fun time.
i love you.
