My Whole World Crumbles Apart
Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Sunset
It's Eid 2nd day. My marriage is slowly falling apart. It's been a month that we were not in good terms. It's really such a shame cuz I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with him if he treated me the right way. We've communicated, but it didn't work. I'm also tired of having to wait for his changes, his efforts, his love and undivided attention. I'm sick of continuously questioning my worth when I'm with him, questioning myself if he truly loves me or not. Cuz apparently all this time, I've been lowering my standards and needs just to meet him halfway. I don't know, I love him but I can't stand it anymore. We could've still Raya together if only he show me efforts consistently to win my heart again, to prove that we could go through everything together. In the end, it's all only a huge disappointment.

Another Harsh Truth
February is here. I finally survived a month of being the real housewife. Annoying and exhausting much. You know what's more annoying? It's when I thought sex gonna heal every bitter parts and hurt inside me. But it didn't. I was wrong, it doesn't even change anything about how I feel towards this relationship. He's great, he's been cleaning the house, doing the laundry and the dishes. I acknowledged him and for that, I am grateful. But I still feel like I was never gonna be his first priority like he told me previously. It was just words that he said to ease my heart, or my ears. The way of looking at it, his phone is his first, his career is his second, Sarah is his third, and then his mom, and continues to his dad, and then there's finally me. Yes, jokes on me.
I wasn't annoyed because of the night we finally made love after more than a year. It was a great night, but when he was done, he just walked away without any aftercare. It has been like this since we were married. I felt confused, questioned myself like is that how it's supposed to be with any other married couple as well? If it is, why do I feel bummed. And then days after, every time I was like laying beside him, he was always and always with his phone. There was no hug from behind, there was no heart to heart talk, but there was massage upon requests only. Every day he came back home after work, he'd always be the one to talk about all what's happening with his work, office, colleagues and all. But all he ever asked me "are you okay? penat eh?", but then when I was telling him about my day and about Sarah, I felt like it was useless to tell him everything cuz I didn't feel heard at all. He didn't even seem he really care. Anyone with phones on hands don't give a damn about anything, until they put the phones away first.
Oh, speaking of phones, he forbids Sarah from screen time ever since she was newborn. I half-heartedly agreed but since he insisted so I figured I should respect his decision and obey. I get that he was truly against screen time for Sarah, but I don't think he knows how hard it is to raise a human being that needs to be taught 'manually' in order to ensure Sarah grows as a good and intelligent person. He was the one who demanded no gadgets for Sarah, so it only makes sense for me to expect him, to pour extra efforts in entertaining and teaching Sarah. Not me. I expect him to buy books, read books to Sarah on daily basis before bed. I expect him to buy flash cards, teach Sarah meaningful words, or living creatures in the world, the country names, the name of every single planets or whatever. Yes I expect that! But nah. Zero. At this point, I do think gadgets could provide all those that he couldn't do to Sarah. Now you're gonna ask why not me doing all of the above. Well, I am already tired with the cooking, the caring, the breastfeeding stuffs for months! My whole body aches for months, I've been living with painful wrists for months, I never have a good sleep for months. It doesn't mean I was entirely okay if I was keeping silent and only say "Yeah I'm okay".
I was fed up to the point that I cried while breastfed Sarah to sleep just now. She saw me crying and she wiped my cheek. Hard to believe that this little girl of mine was kinda thoughtful, I guess. All I could think of was that I needed to stay in this marriage because of her well being and future life. A single mom who's jobless can be very hard to secure a child custody if we're talking about divorce in my current state. I don't wanna lose Sarah, I'd rather lose my life. I feel that the main reason I cried a lot, was because I emotionally hurt, and my mind kept telling me to get a divorce, but my heart desperately fighting for this love. I'm sad, because I thought he loves me dearly. Guess I thought wrong. Hmm so now what? Now I'll just have to be patient, and just play my role as a maid and a babysitter, because I'm no wife.

2024, New Life
I'm back! Only now as a mother to a beautiful baby girl that I named as Sarah Alisya. She's turning 10 months in a couple weeks. She's soooo adorable and never fails to make me smiles. For the record, I gave birth via c-sec due to my condition that's medically called CPD, or in other words, my pelvic bone is abnormally small. Not a weird thing to hear, but at the beginning of my pregnancy, I did prayed a lot so I could get to experience the normal birth, but nevermind that. Oh I should definitely put up my baby's pic up there, but I'll do that later. She's currently having a fever and I suspect that she's about to have her first teeth. Poor girl, this all shall pass, I hope she stays strong to face this phase.
We just moved to PD here, tons of thing to catch up. Where do I begin. I quit my job when I was 5 months pregnant and I mostly stayed at my in law's cuz I planned to give birth in KPJ Selangor, it was much nearer, in case of emergency. I was uncomfortable to stay with them, they're good people indeed, but it just wasn't a place of my comfort zone. I just stayed for the sake of the baby's safety. But I do feel grateful and thankful up until now for having such good in laws, allowing me to stay for months and did what most pregnant women do, eat sleep and repeat. I don't feel like writing about my whole journey from the morning I surrendered myself to the hospital, having my belly cut open by the doctors to take a real human out, the episodes of post operation vomiting on bed, couldn't even get up for 24 hours, the first time I got up after the surgery, and the recovery process that took a toll on me physically mentally and emotionally. It was damn hurt and terrifying for me to go through all that again. My thoughts at that moment, I respect all mothers out there, especially my mom, and my mom in law. Now I'm somebody's mom, I finally understand it all.
Syazwan got fired the first month we had Sarah, and thankfully he got a better job here in PD last September, after 5 or 6 months of trying. That's why I decided to move in here a day before new year, for the sake of Sarah. She deserves to grow up and play around with her father as well. If you or anybody ask me, I wouldn't even want to move to another region, especially when it's quite far away from my parents. But again, nevermind that, I'm an adult so I can adapt to it. Though the life as a fulltime housewife and stay at home mom is truly exhausting. I mean, I wish I have my own me time. But there was never a break! Recently I had a catch up sesh with my girls, I envied them for having such a great life to their own. While I was just stucked in here. "Stuck" sounds depressing, heck yeah I am depress. Hmm. My mom just been diagnosed for breast cancer stage 3c last November. I was feeling down to hear such thing but I didn't even have the time to express the sadness, I gotta put Sarah to sleep first and then I cried alone for several nights. Questioning God why. It was unfair to put this kind of test towards my mother. Of all people, why her. But now I slowly could feel like, peace. I'm just gonna keep praying for her recovery, and I wish I could be there for every of her chemo appointments, but I couldn't. Sarah is my priority now. But we did go back Jeram some weekends to spend time with her.
My marriage wasn't feel like how it used to. Idk what to say. Syazwan has been greatly supported me physically, but sometimes, I could say most of the times, he failed to do so emotionally. So many things that I kept inside my heart ever since I got pregnant, every hurtful words he threw to my face, every actions that didn't match his words of love. I thought I was okay to absorb it all in, but I was all damaged inside because of it. I hate that I'm typing this while my tears about falling down my cheeks. Okay, keep cool alynn. Breathe in, breathe out. Even if he asks me now and wants to make everything works again for both of us, i'm not sure if it's already too late. There were too much I sucked it all in to the point that I no longer remember any of it anymore. Whatever left is only the hurt and I kept on forgiving him until I slowly unloved him. I don't know la, suddenly I feel so pathetic. Would've make me feel good if he can just try approach me and "hey let's have a heart to heart talk..." on weekly basis, just checking in on each other. Hmm that's true effort. But he's always with his phone.

Love Is Blind
It's been months not writing here. I'm 4 months pregnant now, that explains why. Had pretty rough beginning and let's just say that I suffered physically and mentally with nausea and lost of appetite, all sorts of bad things that I could never imagined I would face it. But I'm much better now. Dear bloggie, I'm scared of giving birth so bad, not to mention the breastfeeding part, the raise a human being episodes as well, I bet only mothers out there would understand this feeling. It's pretty normal right, to seek for emotional support from my husband first and foremost. He's been helping out a lot ever since I was sick and I'm grateful for that, I prayed for good things fall to him as well. But at the same time, I hate for him to witness the weak and pathetic side of me. We were in a good place, though got a bit of hiccups sometimes, which is normal for married couple, I guess. But lately, I don't know. I do want to believe that maybe it's the pregnancy hormones that got me extra sensitive, but man, sometimes I could not deal with his words, his way of treating me. I felt it once before I was pregnant. I just can't seem to find the right words to express it out loud, but tonight I figure I need to at least try write it down.
In all honesty, I feel like I regret marrying him. I totally understand that I have to obey my husband, but the way he's been using this kind of power towards me, it's like there's no sense of thoughtfulness. I slowly feel like I'm some kind of slave or something. Like, whatever I said, it's always wrong in his point of view. My mother had this power towards me before I got married, yet she never treated me this way. She would understand, and I would apologised whenever I did wrongs. I never asked him for materialistic things or anything expensive that I've been wanted, all I ever asked for was food. He not just once, or twice, had said something like "See, I've done everything for you, but you never do anything that I asked for". I was taken aback at first, but annoyed at second time. I didn't know he demanded a favor in return, even it's the kind of favor that is best for me, like reading quran everyday, like taking shower 2 times a day. Mama gave me the same advices before, but not in a forceful kind of vibes, you know. Yet I did ended up obeying her on my own pace. Why would he wanna force me into doing things that I wanted to do on my free will? Why didn't I see this coming? I really thought all the kind gestures purely because he loves me and because I'm helpless at the moment, but those words really made me feel determined to not ask for anything anymore from him. I would do it myself. That's it.
I've planned to follow my parents go back Semenyih tomorrow and spend 2 nights there. Solely cuz I wanna eat few things that I've been craving for, I wanna meet my bestfriends who I missed for months, I wanna feel back the vibes of sleeping in my old room after so long, and last would be cuz of PRU. I remember I did asked politely, properly. I thought he would let me, but he didn't. Can you imagine how I've been asking for his permission for days and he knows exactly how excited I am yet he didn't allow me. My heart simply shattered into pieces, I was hurt deeply by that. I'm tired of all this. This is really not the man that I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm good at following and obeying people, but this is exactly not the right way. If anything that he succeeds, it is only in making me love him lesser now. It's not the first or second time my heart got hurt as well, so, wouldn't be weird if I would no longer be in love with him after this. I don't want to live this life anymore, not with him. He once said we're gonna be two man team in this journey, but he lied. I don't feel like a teammate anymore. Perhaps all the love are lies also, or perhaps I've been blinded.
I've said what I said. If this marriage caused me to suffer emotionally, why would I even want to stay? Like, he can't make me happy but I can make myself happier than this. So maybe I will walk away someday. But for now, I just hope I can focus more on myself and the baby. After all this, I don't know, let's just be patience for a while. Hey there lil baby, I'm so sorry if you could feel my sadness as well, I hope you stay there in peace. Mama will try not to cry anymore. I'll hope to see you in April, worst case scenario, I might die but you're gonna be just fine. I silently hope that I die, cuz it might've been easier for your dad, I don't think he loves me anymore.

Love Doesn't Change, We Do
I'm well aware by the fact that sons, especially the first born, carry huge responsibilities towards his own parents. I knew and I literally pinned that on my brain. Even before we started meeting our parents, I wouldn't want to make him choose between me or his family. Never, 'cuz I wouldn't want any of my brothers to do that to my mom as well. What actually hurts me first was the moment he responded to my request. "Ikut you la, nak balik, balik la". I get that he's annoyed, but it didn't have to be said like that. Not during our fancy delicious dinner. I just wish he could tolerate softly with me a bit, like give me time limit for 3 hours or however long he wishes, or put a condition if I settle the house chores fast, then it's a green light. It just didn't have to be harsh, I'd totally get his point that we need to clean our house first. But as he started sleeping outside, and refused to eat what I cooked for him, even it's not that tasty enough compared to his mom, that what makes me bottle up all the feelings inside. I'm frustrated that he probably know I'm sad, but he labelled it as sulking and never even try to comfort me.
Pathetic, to stand in this alone, to walk through it alone. And I want to scream, I want to cry, I want to break things and break down, break out of this cage I've imprisoned my soul in. Yet, there's no point in any of this, no lessons to learn. To be filled with so many emotions all at once, all at the same exact instant in time, I feel paralyzed and unable to control or hold onto them, let alone to express them directly to his face. He kept on asking me to let it all out, but how could I tell him that I've grown tired of this marriage life. Of feeling stuck and lock up to such responsibilities and good wife commitments that I'm not used to yet. Of all the cryings caused by his words or actions, every single time bad communication happen between us. I'm tired and I have no strength to keep on walking this path with him. I love him every seconds of my breath, but all this is just too overwhelming for me. I feel like I could've done better, feel happier, if I were to love him from distance.

A Little Rush That's Not Too Much
It's quite stressful to plan a wedding, I was thinking to just do the bare minimum but I changed my mind. Like, I want my once in a lifetime wedding turns out beautiful. Hence I been focusing and hoping that flower decorations and every little details meet my expectations. But I also don't want to get my hopes high, scared might disappoint myself. I haven't finalized my wedding theme yet, that'll have to discuss with the vendor a month before the date. Now pending vendors to search for henna, hand bouquet, wedding cake, and wedding reception attire. We also haven't buy rings and settle the forms yet. We're almost there, got 2 months more, that should be enough time for us to complete everything. May Allah ease.
Oh, all praise to Him, I got new job offer and I already accepted it about last week. I swear I didn't expect this good news after I screwed up in the interview session with them. They gave me 2 case studies and I couldn't do the forecasting one as I never done it before. They offered 33% salary increment after few times of negotiation. Weird, at first they informed me they set a 4-5k budget for that position, and they offered me only rm200 increment in the beginning. After several calls and explanation why I demand for higher, finally they agreed. Both the new company and DKSH agreed to let me serve for 1.5 months, and the new company will buy me out for 0.5. So I'll be tied up to financial bond with the new company for 6 months. As usual, I'm already nervous and excited, so I keep on praying harder so my Lord will help me whenever I need Him.

Couldn't Live Without
Hey! I just got distracted big time. Because I have a clever nephew and two cute little nieces I got to play with. I'm so in love with them, so freaking adorable! Hoping that our whole family could gather around soon, once situation's getting better. Oh. I was supposed to get engaged on 26th June, but things got out of our hand. Couldn't cross district so we decided to postpone the date. Still don't have a new date, perhaps we'll just follow the flow. My girlfriends sent me two Starbucks tumblr as birthday gifts this year. Love them girls a lot! My families throw a small birthday party for me, mama and mak. My baeby came and we went out for late lunch at the beach together in raining weather. I missed him so much, and I really appreciated he came just to spend time with me. Think that's all for now. Will update you again soon.

Why Now Not Then?
Hello. I've been neglecting this blog of mine for quite some time now. Perhaps I've lost interest in writing ever since I'm learning to talk more about my feelings instead of keeping them hidden as writings and my life is full of happiness. Guess sadness is the key to write good stuffs. So here I am, exclude the sadness. I just figured that I need to spill out a secret here. Hmm. Before I met my lover, I knew this one guy 1 or 2 months earlier beforehand. We've been friends all this while. Even when I know I'm already in love with my baby, I do keep in touch with this guy like once in a month on friendship basis. To be honest, I liked him before everything and I remember how I impatiently made my move because he has been in my mind all the time. And I remember how I felt like I got rejected by this guy not just for once or twice. So I thought that maybe he's not ready or he's not into someone like me, and I distanced myself away from him for months, and those months were the moment when I became closer to my baby in our friendship stage. When my baby got a tight grip of my heart, I never made the first move in approaching that guy anymore. It was always him, either on my ig story, or my whatsapp status. It was steer clear to me that we're only gonna stay friends and I could accept that. Not a problem, 'cause I found my guy already. But then last week he texted me just to catch up, and clearly he said something like "I wish we could get married...", I was like, huh? Maybe he's just wishing things that could never happened, to happen. I wasn't sure what those words meant, and I wasn't interested to see where that conversation was leading us to. So I ended the conversation awkwardly, I don't exactly remember how.
But then 2 days ago, he texted me at midnight, I already fell asleep. So I replied him the next morning and just a simple catch up texting. And again, he said things like "when we're married, we'll be like....", I was taken aback. Like wait, what? What is this guy thinking? What makes him so sure that I want to marry him? Why now though? I was surprised and feeling guilty, but I'm not the wrong one here. Hmm. My original plan now was to settle down by next year, and I only tell 3 girlfriends of mine about it. I don't wanna tell anyone else. But since this guy's suddenly showing up and expressing his interest in me, I had no choice but to inform him that he's too late and I'm marrying someone else. I wanted to avoid from hurting anyone's heart. I was being very careful with my choice of words. At first he congratulated me, then I think, I've said it the wrong way, he got angry. But he shouldn't though, 'cause I was only trying to explain my side of story, and he should respect my feelings, but he thought I was treating him like shit. It's so tense, and this guy spoiled my day. Hmm. Anyway, we're still friends. He'd like us to stay this way until I got hitched. Oh, well, whatever suits him then. What I know is I'm not going to change my heart or my mind. At the end of the day, I'm always gonna choose my baby.

What Lovers Do
I never thought things between me and him would be this quick to happen in much further. Today his parents and his relatives came here to officially meet my big family and handed me a ring, in which it symbolizes i'm a bit more than their son's girlfriend. Simply said, merisik. Oh for that ring's sake, we went to 6 shops to find the one! Kinda troublesome, 'cause I almost gave up hahaha. You know what, I looked so messy, but he looks good as usual. Ugh, I'm not one to fancy being the center of attention actually, but anyhow, things went on smoothly. And apparently my engagement day will be on June 2021. Haven't tell anyone but Kila, Ayon and Eda. Hoping they'll keep it as a secret 'cause I don't wanna jinx it. Now do pray for me so that my preparation for engagement will be okay. I'm already stressed out now.

Loving You
He always said to me, "anything for my baby π", so I told him I want a handwritten love letter. Few weeks after, I got my letter today. I'm so excited that I quickly took it from the postal guy and run straight to my room, avoiding myself from being questioned by my parents. It's too embarassing, so I figured I'm just gonna enjoy the moment alone. I sniff sniff the letter a bit, he surely sprayed his perfume just like I told him to. I read one by one of his words in there and I'm so touched! π I'm very happy, I can't stop smiling now hehehe. I love you Syazwan π

Odds
Can I have it all? I'm starting to be greedy. Selfish desire for him starts to rob my inner peace. It's not an obsession, right? I am not obsessed over him, I just don't wanna lose him. But the facts that I could easily let people go by mistake and the odds that he doesn't feel the same love as I do, are making me can't even sit still. Perhaps I should just worry less, like letting things flow its way, and don't even start begging or look desperate. Stop imagining a future with him, stop hoping he does the same, stop getting jealous. Most importantly stop being a pusher! Maybe I should purposely avoid talking to him for few times, be the sensible me again. Yeah I'm going to do that, hit the sack earlier than usual would save me from the guilt. Hmm. I wish, whenever I run out things to say, he'd be the kind of person who would just randomly say words that could calm down my thoughts and give assurance that nothing bad is gonna happen. Honest and sincere words, instead of pick-up lines on purpose. 'Cause I often overthink.
Anyway, did I write about the day I drove back from Semenyih to Jeram alone? Err yeah, that actually happened for the first time. My coward-ass can't even believe it but yeah. 'Cause the previous night before it happened, my mind weighed a lot with thoughts of "to do or not to do". I ended up driving back at 7 am, and praying that I wouldn't bump to any road block. When I safely arrived, the situation was like I just won a huge award or something. My parents welcomed me home with grateful eye smiles. Funny. Now don't you underestimate me, Mama. Heh. So basically I was back here again and I hope it's only until 6 Dec, last day of CMCO. Please don't extend it any longer, I wanna go home, wanna meet my friends :( Lots of catching up session to do. I just got the news that Balqis is pregnant! Guess all the 'first night techniques' she shared with all of us before really worth it. Hahaha!
