As i begin each day, by looking at the mirror, i always remind myself, " Linda, stay where your feet are!"
If i keep my attention on the place where my feet reside, I have a better chance remaining in the here and now...Lately, I'm becoming aware much sooner and quicker when things happen. Last weekend my family was having some sort like a small gathering & baby shower as myself turning 8 months pregnancy... calling up my mom mosque's friends, uncles, aunties, few of my friends and of course my in laws. Well Alhamdulillah all turn out as per planning...maybe cos i got help from mama and sister~ huhu.
When I live in the past or future, I tend to miss out on the freedom and peace in the now....u know...my condition rite now make me can't really moves a lot and i'm not as hyper energetic as before. Yeah...it all cos i'm in caring 2 genders in one go...which is FEMALE & MALE! why is so?? I'm a female and another person inside my womb ^_^ To think I'm having 2 hearts beating at the same time. So better enjoy the whole process as it is because its soooOoOo wonderful and i can barely say it a whole new experience to me and my husband. And of course we get extra closer, wiser and caring to each other ;)
This week i've another major things to look at....well is my other half's birthday. But again...in this kind of condition with lack of energy to moves around and to do something special on his 30th birthday.. still my mind always came out with something interesting and believes that it can be done *cross finger* This time around i need to tag team with my mother in law...jeng jeng jeng....
Since me and hubby living quite a distance...he work in Melaka and will come back every weekend. Yeah...people will always wonder how could the two lovely birds been separated. Trust me...this is LIFE...face it..less complain and we get used to it! LoL. I created such drama to get my hubby attention..knowing him and my pregnancy (pregnant lady always get tip top service from our loved ones *_^) , hubby will always respect and say yes to what i want. So, i told him that before I'm on my confinement, I would love to dine at our fav place and order our fav menu - Lamb Sizzling Hot plate at The Ship Restaurant! And so he decided to go on Saturday, 26th ! ok...i these case i gotta celebrate his birthday 1 day earlier. here...
At the same time, I called my mother in law...wanted to a small surprise celebration for him at my mother's in law. Told her she don't need to do anything cos i ordered food to cater for all invitees. She was all happy to team up with me! haha~
And so...the plan goes really well. He got surprised while we both are having our lunch at The Ship Restaurant. Someone came towards out table with balloons, bouquet of chocolates and birthday card all beautifully done by Sugar Surprise team! He asked me why did i do all this? knowing him does't even like surprises...I've been doing this kinda things 3 years in a row with different treatment..that's why he can't even guess it! To be truth....i did all of this surprise thingy because i always living in the moment....and this particular moment when you actually reach your 3 series life (30th) you will remember it for the rest of ya life.. regardless what kinda future holds you, these very moment would never come back..so cherish it and be thankful as always~ ^_^
Then, told him that for desert we will take his birthday ice-creamcake at Baskin Robbin and go to his parent's house. Once again....he got SURPRISED! we plan with mom in law to called up all siblings knowing that all of them are married and have kids it will light up the whole celebration~
If i may captured a photo using my eyes, it would be the best moment so far to see everyone turn out and most importantly both my mom and dad in law was so cool and glad they both are happy with the effort from everyone. We end up our small celebration with solat Maghreb together lead my dad in law .
Last but not least....to my dearest husband, may this small celebration bring big joy and let us live our life in every moment as possible. May Allah always bless us with more wonderful things ahead! There is a great freedom, wonder and mystery in the present...just take a look around, ask, seek and discover that which is waiting to be discovered by us and expressed within us~
