Of Life : Happy. But.

My sister is getting married.

That's the happy news. Masya Allah.

My 28 years old sister is getting married this June, a week after Aidilftri.

But.

But.

But.

My husband just got the email this morning, saying that his abstract is accepted for that something something conference in France. Which is a good news, but that also means he will be off to someplace in France (not Paris) for at least five days from 1 - 5 of July, and going back to Malaysia before that just doesn't make sense (and not healthy for our bank accounts too).

My parents had planned for the entire family to celebrate Aidilfitri here this year. But now there will be a huge majlis a week after raya, that plan had to be postponed to give time for my family for the preparation (and that will also cost a sum of money too, no way they can spend them on flight tickets to Japan for seven people).

Well. It's one of the sacrifices you make, being a loyal, faithful and supportive wife.

But I love weddings. I love that that will be the time to meet a lot of long lost relatives and catch up.

I still have three sisters and one brother, that means four weddings to go even if I miss this one, but hey, each of them counts, okay?


Two happy news.

Three devastating ones.

Because there's no way I can follow husband to France. With kids have schools and expensive flight tickets and all. I will be left alone handling these three Energizer bunnies.




Husband, you better love me more than you love yourself.
