Making adjustments

It’s not that easy, when…

- One is so used to have a bibik to do this and that… suddenly finding herself having to do loads of stuff – not only for herself but also for someone else;

- One is so used to make lots of important decision on her own… now has to consider and ask another person’s opinion first before deciding on anything rather major;

- One is so used to be gila-gila, outgoing, and all … now has to keep reminding herself to be on best behaviour in public because others are observing her as “orang rumah Ustaz”;

- One is so used to discuss a lot of things with a mother with a global perspective and enjoys watching CNN and Al Jazeera… and now return to a ‘new’ stay-at-home mother who form parts of the neighbourhood grapevine and enjoys Gerak Khas tremendously;

- One is so used to skip dinner… now has to eat dinner because the ‘new’ mother (who’s so used to mothering and yet has no kids left at home now) insists on it;

- One is so used to pamper some cats after work… now find herself in a household where cats are treated as the enemies because they keep stealing the lauk and scavenge the rubbish bin;

- One is so used to stay back and blog almost daily after office hours… now has to stop doing so because she has to be on time to ensure that she doesn’t miss her car-pool trip home;

- As one is just beginning to get used to have a protective, supportive, understanding and loving husband by her side, he suddenly has to stay 600km away for a one-year course...

But then again, nobody said life is easy, huh?

Norzu-san: Yes, it's just me & my mak mentua. But it's not that bad - I'm thankful that we are getting along fine. She's very helpful & caring. Just that sometimes I could not help wishing for my hubby to be home more often...

Yusof: My husband is among those chosen to attend Kursus Perguruan Lepas Ijazah beginning 5 Jan 2005. Unlike most of his friends (who are either placed in MPRM, Seremban or MPI, Bangi), he's been asked to do the course in Maktab Perguruan Kuala Terengganu, Batu Rakit...
