BEING 25 AND HAPPY, AND SOME SERIOUS MATTER :)

I was born on 22 February 1987, 25 years ago. So I hit 25 last week. I have no issue of being 25. 25 is a great number right? My only concern is in my 25 years of life (that’s quarter a century peeps!) is what have I done? What kind of servant have I been to Allah the Almighty. What kind of daughter have I been to my parent? What kind of sister have I been to my siblings, and what kind of friend have I been to my buddies. I just hope and pray that I will change for better everyday. Semoga hari yang mendatang adalah lebih dari hari semalam. Amin. 

But me being 25 is a major concern for a lot of people. Just quoting some of the birthday wishes:

Selamat ulangtahun kelahiran Ija. Cepat2 jemput makan nasik minyak. –yang ni I cakap balik nak makan nasik minyak bila2 pon boleh. Nasi minyak cenderawasih anyone? 

Happy bday Ija. Bile aku nak dapat kad ni? –my answer is kad takde. Pamphlet diet nak?

Haha yang ni best: Ija ko sedar tak ko dah 25? Ko kena start pikir dah pasal masa depan –Haha yang ni Fana yang cakap. Kite cakap balik weh fana ko lagi lah dah 26 tahun ni hihi. Sori eh fana gurau2 saje. 

Wish dari kakak I boleh blah jugak la: Happy bday. Baik ko carik bf cepat nanti abah carikan plak. -I reply 1 perkataan je: noted! Lol. 

Don’t get me wrong, I know those wishes by my dearests doesn’t mean any harm. In fact they are praying for me right? And lately I have quite a number of people offering me to look for someone for me. Alah senang cakap nak carikan kite jodoh la tu. Seriously all these happened when I hit 25. Masa I 22 dulu tak ada orang la pulak nak carikan I suami kan. ;)

But really, if you ask me, when are you getting married. I seriously don’t have the answer. As cliché as it sounds, hanya Allah yang tahu. I tak tahu, Allah saje yang tahu. However just because you don’t know when will your jodoh come, doesn’t mean that you cant pray for it right. So yes, saya hanya berdoa, moga dikurniakan (dan dicepatkan) jodoh yang baik untuk saya. But will it be enough?

No. Of course it’s not enough. We always, always ask for something good to happen to us. But do we strive for it? Do we work accordingly to achieve it? You asked for good result in exam, but do you study hard to deserve it? You pray God to grant you good health, but do u live healthily? Same goes –you pray for the best husband, but have u prepare yourself to be the best wife for your husband? Jangan nak mintak benda baik untuk jadi kat kita saja, kita pon kena jadi baik. What you give you get back aite?

So yes, I am preparing myself. Despite not knowing when my other half will come, I am preparing myself, so that when he comes, I am ready. Saya belajar masak sikit-sikit, belajar bersabar, belajar beradab, belajar tolak ansur, belajar untuk memberi, belajar menyayangi (really Ija??? I know my friends will be like ‘ni cupid angel mana dah panah love arrow kat Ija ni’ lol. Hey just because I am cheeky doesn’t mean I am not lovely haha). Menjahit je saya tak belajar lagi (saya harap siapa pun bakal suami saya, dia tak kisah saya tak pandai menjahit. Everyone has flaws right? =p).

And on top of all that, saya belajar macam mana nak menjadi isteri solehah. Yes fellas we have to learn that as well. Takkan la nanti dah kahwin baru nak belajar. Dari sekarang kita kena belajar, and this will be a continuous learning process. Tinggal lagi mintak semua yg sayang saya, yang tanya bila saya nak kahwin, those that are very concern haisshhh bila la Ija ni nak kahwin , untuk tolong doa sama untuk saya. Doa ramai2 lagi bagus kan?  Who knows one of your doa maqbul, bulan depan I kahwin. ;)

Lastly just quoting someone “Insya Allah, ada rezeki, ada jodoh, ada la..” Right? Yes it sounds cliché, but that is also the most honest answer that I can give to those who are asking. In the meantime, keep on praying peeps. =)

See..I macam Siti, sabar menunggu. :) p/s mula2 kite nak letak lagu ibu2 bapak kasihani aku tu, tapi rase mcm pathetic la pulak kalau letak lagu tu lol.
