@3:50 PM
Yeah today went down to Munira's house to help her bungkus her berkat for her wedding on this coming new year. Managed to packed near 600 berkats and my fingers a lil numb now.
It's the peak period for weddings. No longer Azah tagging her mum. She has her own wedding invitations to attend! And many invitations per week for the record.
Am I that old to be having my own wedding invitations? Are that many of my friends already married or getting married? No pressure at all... Just like how I am happy upon hearing my female friends getting pregnant, I'm also happy hearing that my friends are settling down with the love of their life.
Yes maybe I've reached that passing age. But am I prepared for marriage? Maybe yes but most probably no. It definitely takes more than just age to be in a marriage. Age's at the back of marriAGE anyway.
How about maturity? Maturity to know one's responsibilities; not just knowing but to be able to carry out them out.
How about finance? True that one doesn't have to be rich to lead a happy life. But I do believe that one needs to be financially stable to lead a comfortable life. Yes I do wish to have a comfortable life. Shan't elaborate on my definition of comfortable life here. Enough to know that I don't need to marry a millionaire.
How about qualifications? Nah
How about physical appeal? Presentable will do. I don't need a hunk. Not that I'm a babe myself nor can I promise that I can remain the way I am physically now.
How about love? Yes of course! Can I have someone who loves me more than himself?! :) And I'll love him just as much.
And the criteria goes on..........
Aahh why am I suddenly babbling about marriage?! Must be the conversation I had with Munira just now.
I came up with this idea, how about inviting close relatives for the nikah at a mosque. Give them a packet of nasi minyak each and all of us can then go home and rest! Ahah! NO hassle, no mess, not much money!! Then just put an ad in the papers to inform the whole Singapore of my marriage. Simple enough? So long as the compulsory (which is pretty much just the nikah) is done prim and proper ok ape!
Ya Azah you wish.....
Just to have a void deck wedding will cost thousands of dollars. That's many years of saving gone for a 2-days event. And I still have to ensure substantial amount in my account left for future use. Wah.. thinking about all this, let's put marriage on hold first. Anyway what's the hurry right? I'll maintain my nonchalant response to the seemingly neverending enquiry of when my turn will be. "INSYAALLAH"
Marriage has not been a top priority and now it's been pushed even further to the back.
To those of my friends who are already married, I'll always pray for your happiness and stay strong always.
Que Sera Sera.. whatever will be, will be.. the future's not ours to see.. Que Sera Sera.. What will be, will be.
By the way, my results were out today. Alhamdulillah I cleared all my modules. No Cs and I'm most happy with my Maths SK papers! Yippee! I must thank my motivators, I don't think they know who they are :)
