It's been a while huh since my last post... a year ago
Tahun baru, banyak benda baru yang bakal I kongsi dengan u guys
Okay, major thing that I want to share is I DAH KAHWIN!! (almost 8 months dah)
Yeah it happened just like that
out of the blue
even me myself couldn't believe it at the first point haha
But yeah, Allah knows best
So, we start the new year together, Ramadhan and eid together
it's a whole new world
like seriously
everything is changing in a good way
love life, research life is getting better Alhamdulillah
The key is just to be patient and strive for the best
don't ever stop making dua to Allah because nothing is impossible for Him
Remember that guys
I can still recall when I went to Makkah
I make a serious dua to Allah
about send me the right man to be my spouse
alhamdulillah Allah granted my wish
one thing that u need to remember is, be specific when making Dua
as specific as u can
for example, if u want your spouse is a non-smoker, make dua for that
all tiny little thing, ask Allah
and insyaAllah he will give u
and while waiting, be prepared
prepare yourself to be a good partner, learn how to cook, how to clean and everything
because it's crucial even though we don't have to do all those things but the key to becoming a good wife is all those skills right?
most husband will have the expectation that his wife is capable to do all those things and the best is, he will help u!!!
what is more beautiful than doing all house chores together guys
that's the best quality time to spend after a whole week being busy at work right
please don't be stress
because it will not give u any good
just go with the flow
as for me, I am happy with what I have now
Alhamdulillah no complain
and I hope u guys can be happy with everything that u have to
yes, we have to try to be better but at the same time, be content with what we have for now and at the same time, try to improve and be better
oh anyway, back to my marriage story
we met only a couple of months before we decide to get married
shocking right?
at first,t we just talking and suddenly it became serious
and we start to pray istikharah every night to ask Allah if we are the right person for each other
if u ask me, honestly i said, i was freaking out
because i just knew him
but our feeling towards each other is very strong
its like we've known each other for long
the moment he propose, i didn't expect that
and my answer was "insyaAllah let me ask my ummi first" hahah
of course its unexpected okay
plus dia bukan melayu hehe
lagi la macam2 bisikan syaitan dtg kan
we heard a lot of stories before bila malaysian kawen dgn org asing
but alhamdulillah, Allah sends me the right one
even if u marry malay, its never confirmed that u will be happy right
the main thing that we have to focus on is his religion, how he practice Islam, do you see him leading prayer every day for solat? do you see him become the father of your kids?
do you him become the brother to your sibling? do you see him become the son to your parent?
if you see all this, that's mean insyaAllah he's the right one no matter what race or where he's from
akad nikah performed by the imam and 2 witnesses which is my friend and my husband's friend
selamat pengantin baru okay kat atas kek tu hahahah terbaik2 budak2 ni tempah and suruh the baker tulis in malay
our wedding photoshoot just close to our house
when we decide to get married here, Ummi was planning to come but it didn't happen because my sister xleh dpt cuti
she's a doctor and was very busy
so my brother pass the waliy responsibility to the Imam here
he sent the imam an email and also a phone call
Alhamdulillah Imam perform our nikah on 17/11/17
I'm official a wife
Now back to my PhD jorney
I'm entering my fourth year now
Almost done with coursework, only 1 class left
My research is about 40% done and targeting to submit another 2 journal paper before I can defense my proposal
US system is different, you must be done almost 80% to take proposal defense and few month after that you can have your thesis defense
semua ni should be between 1-2 semester
so, im planning to graduate in Fall 2019, insyaAllah everything is on track now
group meeting every friday
what keeps me alive every morning
I will be attending an international conference next month to present my research
this will be my second international conference that i attend
it would be fun because it will be out of US
time to explore new world
i will update my journey for that after i return to the US
