Often we though being a father is to provide the family financially. Money for school, for tuition fee, for music class, for shopping, for groceries. Those, or we thought so, is the responsibility of a father. We saw mothers going through hard labor, those sleepless night when a child is sick, juggling between 2 jobs (working mothers). Anddd, we thought mother made the most sacrifice. 

We also assumed (or so) that a father doesn't know how to express his feeling. I mean, generally men. But have we ever thought the things he has to go through in order to provide us financially especially our education? I'm one of those. 

We see the nicest things our dad portray. The suit and tie, the nice office, the big car. But I believe beneath all that, in order for him to achieve, are plain hard work, sweat, blood and tears.

I was wearing an orange top from Brands Outlet and palazzo pants from Time Square, KL. This was taken on the first day of the goat year. We were heading to my eldest uncle's place where all of us gather every year. Except this year, the number of cousins were less as some of them were away for holiday.

So I had the opportunity to try a newly opened cafe nearby Tanjung Bungah. Situated by the road side. Slow down your car after the Tesco Tanjung Tokong which will be on your right side (if you were to come from Gurney plaza side). This cafe is before Anandha Bhawan Indian restaurant.

The first thing that caught me was the space. It was so spacious. The seats were ample and they were not placed too close to each other. So there were space for you to walk around. Plus there are plenty of parking available.

This is my favorite part in the cafe. The photo frames are hand made. It includes spatula, fork, spoon, plates. It'll be an awesome ootn/ootd background.

One of my FB friend posted a link on an article about people who leave everything behind and travel the world. Living life as a nomadic.

 Working a 9 to 5 desk job can be boring at times. Freedom is definitely out of the question. I love the corporate world. The rush of it sometimes excite you, but to a certain extend. It's just meeting the society expectation of a wage earner. So sometimes, getting out of bed to get ready for work is painful, especially on a Sunday night, when you think 'Shoot, it's Sunday already?'. 

There were times, I thought of leaving and just let go what I'm currently doing. Fly away from here. Visiting countries and explore new things out there. 

I admire people who's been living in a suitcase, explore life, explore big cities, learn new things and gaining knowledge from the people they meet. It's just overwhelmed. Everyone has a thing on their bucket list that they would like to get it ticked including myself, but what came in between that made us hold back? 

My dad thought me to spend wisely, buy a decent house, be someone successful. Yet again, how do we measure success? It's a very subjective topic. That was way back when I was learning in school through text book. But as I grow wiser, I learned that success may come in many forms. It doesn't limit to education nor career.

MMMbbbkkkkkk....mmmmbbbkkkk

TheHumanRabbit wishes everyone a prosperous Chinese New Year.

We're heading back to the East Coast. It only mean one thing...FOOD HUNT!

Drive and play safe.

I believe that a question that will always be the topic in every wedding you attend or perhaps you're the bride and groom, 'Can have kids d lor after this'. Cliche, I know. Been there and currently still going through it. I have people asking me 'Ei, got d ar?'.

Well, it's never and will never be the first or last time. I used to be that nosy person of asking people 'So when you wanna have kids ar?'. Often actually until I stumbled an article about why you don't ask married people this question.

I have been married for eermmm....around 8 months now but I still don't have bun in the oven...Layman's term...pregnant. Reason being, I'm not mentally prepared plus having babies are expensive. Things are different compare to the olden days. In the olden days, majority don't take out their calculator to have rough estimation of how much will it cost to have A baby. People don't go around asking other mothers, which hospital is the cheapest or affordable. But now, including me, they do.

Everybody wants to have children of their own. Who on earth doesn't? If you hear a woman says 'Don't want kids la forever'. She's lying. Every woman has been instilled with that motherly instinct . 

Apart from financially, an individual has to be mentally ready to have small feet crying in the middle of the night for milk or running around the house especially working mothers. Now, don't say 'other mothers also working what'. God created different facial shape, different body shape as well as different mentality. What does it mean? It means people are different.

Yah, yah, I've heard 'You'll never be ready for anything'. I am me and you're you. Everyone has the ability to identify your own emotion and physical strength. So you know your own capability, so do I.

Yes, I've heard 'anak itu rezeki Tuhan' too but sometimes, God works in a mysterious way. Rezeki can come in many forms even though you don't have kids. Children is an extra blessing, that I don't deny. Or, perhaps, not because of financial burden that a couple doesn't want to have kids, but instead, emotional state?

Seriously, it takes a lot to be a mother. I was 10 when I had a sister. 10 is an age where you have the ability to remember things. So I have seen the things my mother had to go through when carrying my sister. Plus, babies are a lifetime commitment. You can't sell babies like real estate. You can tell people 'Ala, sakit kejap ja' or 'When you see your babies face, all the pain will go away'.

You know, there will come a time where 'Ok, let's have kids'. I want to have kids. If not, why do I bother to get married? Just the sake of making it legal?

Again, different people has different plans as married couple. People appreciate the concerns you have but let time decide and let things flow as what He has plan for them. Insyaallah, one day, there'll be small feet running around the house.
