Entry #3 My Parents

So much for catching up on all these entries haha. It's okay Fatin, take your time. As long as you keep writing it's okay.

So, about my parents. I don't want to reveal too much because this is on the Internet and once it's here, it's here to stay forever. I love both my parents first and foremost. I am forever grateful for them even if sometimes I act otherwise.

My dad married my mom when he was 39 years old and she was 29 years old. Yes, my dad married quite late and they have a 10-year gap between them. But really, it didn't matter at all, as they both had mutual respect for each other. My uncle once joked to my brother saying that he should not marry so late like my dad. And then my brother made a really nice comeback to that saying "Kalau dapat yang macam Mama takpa la" BOOM *drops mic*

Everyone from the big family knows how dependent my dad is on my mom. Everyone would be like "What would Ayah do without Mama? Macam ayam berak kapuq" or something like that. It's just how it is because my mom is just super reliable and my dad is laid back so he just naturally let my mom plan and do everything as she is so reliable.

They always bicker though. Like seriously, after how many years of being together they still bicker on the same issues. As I am biased towards my mom, I would say it's because my dad would never change even when my mom kept on nagging him. But then again, my mom could also just accept it as how my dad is. But no, she just have to nag every time. My siblings and I are usually the one listening to my mom complain and we'll be like "Yes mom. Oh Ayah kan, memang macam tu. Hmm tu la Ayah ni"

But sometimes the bickering get so heated to a point where I wonder how my mom could stand living with my dad. I mean, she married him right? Did she regret it? I did asked her once very subtly like how are you still with dad? What makes you not like, go separately? It was a really interesting discussion and my mom said that of course the main one would be agama. Because we have pegangan so we don't easily just follow our feelings.

And after thinking about it, I'm sure she does not regret ever marrying my dad. I mean, now she has all these wonderful children right? (Puji diri dulu~) Which would also be another reason not to separate, the children. Sure, there are times when they would bicker so badly but there are also moments where I feel like they are very sweet with each other. Wow, I am actually getting a bit teary-eyed.

All in all I am very grateful for my parents and they are the reason I am who I am today. I love you Mama and Ayah!!
