Its been 6 months after the nikah ceremony. And the one
thing I can tell you that marriage life rocks! I learn new culture, living in a
new environment and the most exciting thing is I can “date” the guy I love the
most everyday. Sound cheeky kan…but it is the truth.
Well as per described, I am learning a new culture. So, it
seems that my husband lives and grew up in a “kampong” and currently I am
residing in a “kampung” which I am not very familiar with. You see, I grew up
in KL and have live there for almost 27 years. Not saying that my parent is
urbanites, they have their own kampong too. But my parents never did exposed me
to the kampong style of living, we are rarely go to kenduri (if we were to go,
it is a very close relation family kenduri) if not we’re just going to skip the
kenduri.
When i marry my hubby, I am also married to his whole
family and neighbors, which happen to be a VERY big family and they all are
close too. Within these 6 months of marriage, I can say that almost every
weekend there will be a kenduri. It is very exciting! I can’t seem to recall
this kind of experience my whole life. But there is a downside to this, I don’t
have sufficient amount of baju kurung to attend to all this kenduri. I don’t
wear baju kurung, and my baju kurung are made once a year during Aidilfitri,
which is satu helai sahaja. And I am not getting smaller every year you know.
So the total amounts of my baju kurung are the very thin 3 helai sahaja. The end
result is, I am wearing the same baju kurung over and over again. Lesson
learned from here is…to kumpul baju kurung as many as possible.
Not quite :)
The second thing is, I don’t understand JAVANESE (not the
programming language). Oh..yeah my hubby is a JAVANESE and they still speak the
language which I have no idea whatsoever..damn. I am learning it
slooowwwwly..as most of the words are totally different is syllables to either Malay or English (the only 2
language I know). It is not like you can guess or catch what they are saying
because it is different totally from the language that I am familiar with. I
mean you can’t Google translate ‘em cause there is no JAVA in Google translate.
So it happens when my hubby want to ‘perli’ me he will use the ancient language
and speak to the others. And I am as the malay said “terpinga-pinga dan
tergapai-gapai di lautan” without understanding the word that they said.
Bila aku Google Image untuk JAWA ini yang keluar...terconfused sikit.
Besides all that, marriage makes you more mature I guess. You
have to tolerate each other and have to endure problems together. It is not all
happy-rainbowwy fairy tale like life. It is more than that.
P/S: Kawen tu best....wohahahah!!
