A. 8 Different Points of a Not-So-Perfect Lover*
(and alhamdulillah I found him in my hubby ;-) )
* since according to DrB, we are only human kan...

1. Pious practising Muslim. Maybe this has something to do with my upbringing and being a former student of a religious school – but yes, previously I’d always fallen for guys who could be considered ‘ustaz ala-ala’. I ended up marrying a real ustaz though. Talk about dreams come true

2. Offers me a lot of love and affection… to borrow Robbie Williams’ lyric. And not shy to be open about it. Unlike my Ayah who once scolded Mak for kissing his cheeks at the airport when she bid farewell before she went overseas, hubby has no qualms about PDA. He kisses my forehead or cheek in public all the time. We both enjoy holding hands and sometimes, he even hugged me in public. Yes, if not for Huzaifah, some people might have mistaken us for being unmarried dating couple.

3. Biggest critic yet strongest supporter. He has to be able to tell me where I went astray and guide me to the right path. Criticism is not necessarily a bad thing – we all need to be reminded from time to time of our own weaknesses. On the other hand, I also need him to respect, understand and support me – which so far he’s been doing rather well, alhamdulillah.

4. Intelligent, inspiring and all other universal qualities of leadership, making it easy for me to look up to him as my numero uno hero.

5. Shares a lot in common and enjoys our differences. Too similar is duh, dull. Total opposites on the other hand could be lethal. So, we should have enough in common to enjoy each other and enough differences to learn from each other. And yes, like many, I agree that it is vital for couples to share common goals in life.

6. He makes me smile. Yes, even if he sometimes has to resort to goofy lame jokes - the bottom line is - he makes me smile. He lighten things up when I need lightening up. He makes my day with his compliments and praises. Some days, he makes me smile just by grinning at me via the webcam.

7. He gets along well with most people. "Boleh dibawa ke tepi ke tengah", or that was how my friend Sue used to describe it. He knows how to carry himself well - be it when dealing with superiors or subordinates, friends or foes.

8. Attractive. Like Rin, I (used to) have a weakness for tall guys. Maybe because I am often considered tall for a Malay girl and just to prove to my Tok that it’s not impossible after all finding a taller Malay ‘gu’ (partner) for me. So yes, I love the fact that not only is my hubby taller than me, but he is also so very huggable – with his broad shoulders, cute butts and all. In short – he’s yummy and he’s mine, heheheh…

B. Sex of Target
100% male. Tulen bang, tulen.
