Why people get married?


We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."
Beverly Clark - Shall We Dance

I've cried when Susan Sarandon read the dialogue. At the same time Amat went out with his friends till 2am. Deep in my heart I think Amat really have fun with his friends.. His night will be totally different compared what he has to faced everyday.. Sometimes, I can't help myself questining myself why I still can deal with the routines/responsibilites/tasks after 5 years. Wondering how people can survive for the next 30 years. Ha..ha.

The movie is about how Richard Gere find 19 years of his marriges become dull and try to find something new by joining dancing class. Read the summy here. I've to admit that people still need their own space/time to be the real him/her. Forget all the responsibility for once.. Enjoy to the fullest.. But for me, I'll feel quite guilty leaving Amat with the kids.. Keluar ngan kengkawan pun aku akan call banyak kali how he's doing. Dah makan ke belum.. Amat? He will use the time to the fullest.. Geram aku tau!! So that night, after waiting to 12pm, I called. Tak berangkat. Last sekali aku bg msg: Please do say thanks to your friends coz giving your night become more happier and alive tonight!.. Pas tu dia call banyak kali.. Aku pulak takde hati nak angkat! Still geram!.


p/s Happy Anniversary Kak Sal.. semoga bahagia sehingga akhir hayat. U gave me an idea how to turn my Anniversary quite different from the past. Giving hand made card with scanned surat nikah on it with tajam2 words.. :)

Apa moral of the story entry kali ni? Aku pun konfius! ;0

It's like a wind lah.. It doesn't mean you cannot see it.. you can't feel it.

Same goes like our other-half (hubby). They want their own space.. Laki selalunya pandai.. jauh mana pun dia berjalan.. Balik jugak rumah (Home is where the heart is..). Kalau dia tak ada 'heart' kat rumah tu yang payah.

Woman's nature... benda benda remeh tu selalu diambil berat, lelaki tak amik pusing sangat pun.. Ops.

D,
Aku tetap nak salahkan lelaki sebab tak ambil pusing! at the same time tak boleh salahkan pempuan yang selalu ambil pusing!

Bila aku cakap kan.. Epul selalu cakap benda tu remeh.. selalu kata aku fikir bukan2.. Yang dia (men) tak fikir tu kenapa??

Ha..ha..

I've got sms @ 8.31am on 14 Feb. 2009 while we were still on bed.. the msg sound "I'm not clbrtg vlntine but js wnt to share dis vr btful line i cot fr richard gere's mvie ls nite "of the so many billion pple on earth nobody will ntce much abt u. That's what marriage is all abt.. hvg smone to wtnes moments in yr life..., big or small". Happy xx wdg anvsary wa!

kuat pengaruh citer nie ya.. aku tak tengok .. rugilah..

dulu2... dlm 2 kali setahun.. abg syam akan keluar mlm.. balik pukul 2-3 pagi.. itupun bila kawan2 dia yg keje jauh2 tuh balik kampung hari raya.. it takes a few years jugak for me to understand that those outing is an escapism to him.. dari aku bergaduh.. tidur membelakangkan dia.. aku cuba fahami keadaan.. then i realize.. dia akan senyum.. citer apa yg dia borak ngan geng dia.. pok pek pok pek.. he is happy..

lene .. anggap ler itu pengorbanan .. dia org dah byk berkorban utk kita.. bagi ler dia ruang..

D.. u understand too much about a man.. (aku sendiri pun ??) aku setuju ngan kata2 kau.. home is where the heart is

Syok ek pelem dancing dancing Richard Gere tu.. adaptasi tu dari filem Jepun.

Semalam aku tengok indie movie, JUNO kat Star World.. oh my.. i love it.

Lepas aku tengok cerita tu kan.. aku tau yang lelaki jangan diprovok. Diaorang kalau dah masuk fasa 40an akan berjiwa muda balik kan.. Kalau salah provok tu yang sesat tuh.

**Kak.. aku pun tau melalui pembacaan.. No praktikal.

lin.. tu adat la bagi lelaki yg maju ke depan (my hubby word).. actually epul nak bagi ruang elene tgk tv puas2 kot... kalau tak dia je duk conquer sport kann... hehhe.. lgpun my hubby penah sebut (penah gak berlaku situasi mcm elene tu) dia kuar ngan member lelaki, bukan ngan p'puan n saje nak kembangkan minda. so, lama2 dah faham sgt dahh hehe...
ala lin.. besok2 bila dah posting, dia berkepit ngan elene jer... dun wori... skrg ni la dia nak lepaks ngan geng2 dia...
