2 years and counting.

It’s been 2 years of marriage. Of course there are ups and downs along the way but it has been AWESOME so far.

So introducing the love of my life, Noor Hidayat Noralam. The name says it all, one of a kind. ‘Noor’ in a man’s name. Awkward when I heard it for the first time. Teaching in the same school makes the mengenal-hati-budi process even easier. Seriously. You get to look at how he organises his stuffs at his working station, how he marks his students’ book, how he writes his register.  Yes, u can call me a stalker of my own husband hehe. 

But knowing him for less than a year before I opted to end my ‘bujang’ era means ample of things to learn about him. So I seriously got no choice but to stalk u braduhhhh. Marilah walk down the memory lane sat of how I got to know this man and what made me say Yes to you. onyonyoonyo... 

So he is older than me. He had been in teaching in Sarawak for almost 5 years and after cukup ‘Haul’ atau dengan kata lain gained puberty he asked for a transfer to Batu Pahat(BP) with the intention of taking care of his parents (Nampak tak soleh kat situ?). and he finally got it. 

At the other side of the world, I was struggling to adapt myself at a place I couldn’t call a home. I got my first posting in Batu Pahat. I seriously had no idea about this place. The only thing I could recall about BP was UTHM (went there once for debate Kepenggunaan when i was in college) and I remember my lecturers stopped at Pekan Parit Raja (which I thought was the Bandar Batu Pahat) to buy some kerepek. I was cursing the KPM of why they had to send me to Johor. I didn’t put Johor as my choice when I filled in the borang posting. My parents did call some people to ask for help. Tp as usual la, when results were out online, u obviously couldn’t do anything. So I learnt my lesson, kalau nak usaha, start immediately, jangan delay, jangan malas. But Alhamdulillah Batu Pahat isn’t bad at all. Plus I was posted to a Cluster School, SMK (P) Temenggong Ibrahim. So I have no problems dealing with the kids. Workloads? I believe semua tempat pun sama. So I’m ok with it and I survived the 1st year in Batu Pahat with style.:))

During my attempt of digesting the fact that BP has become my tempat bermastautin, I sometimes broke down and kept asking myself why did they put me here? And finally this man came and answered the question that had always been running inside my mind. He’s always been a good friend and a good brother to me. He always tried to impress me with the beauty of living in BP. Bought me to different places to try assam pedas, mee racun, pasar karat etc. But I figure it out myself that the beauty is actually in u. U impressed me. (acewahhhh sgwttt kan)  

So in whatever situation you r in, always put ur trust on Allah. He knows best and He always has better plans for u. Alhamdulillah, I can finally call Batu Pahat a home.
