A Letter To My Ex - June 11th.

-
This letter was actually written on the 11th of June,2010 and posted in my FB in my Notes. I have reproduced it here so others who have not read it can relate this to the coming topics that I am going to expound on....and of course relating more to my life and experiences.





Dear Mr. Ex,

I am not sure if you remember what day today is ,but that's nothing new. You were always terrible with dates, as the case with most men I think. Anyway, it's the date of our marriage 23 years ago and if we are still married, it's our 23rd wedding anniversary.

Alas, our dreams of growing old together and seeing our children grow up, get married and have families of their own will never be realised now.Many things have happened in our lives before, the good and the bad too. And as in every marriage, we had our ups and downs. But I think we had more ups than downs and that was good.But as Allah has decreed otherwise, our marriage could only last for nearly 22 years and it was unfortunate that we had to part. Well everything happened for a reason. Though I wish things could have turned out differently, it was not meant to be and I have come to accept it.

Everything changed drastically in my life as well as yours but I think mine was more. Throughout the days and months after the divorce, I have learnt to pick myself up and to slowly face the challenges that were in my way. Alhamdulillah, with the care, concern and support from family and friends, I am able to get on with my life albeit with many changes.I still find it difficult though to meet people that I have known because of the stigma that comes with being a DIVORCED WOMAN. I do not ever want to be labelled a husband stealer. I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone and I think I will be happy with that.

Anyway, what I really wanted to say here is, Thank You for those 22 years that we were together. I have no regrets whatsoever and I think most of those 22 years had been happy ones. Well, how could it not be right, since we have 6 beautiful children together. And I also thank you for the wonderful times we had and all the places that you had brought me to.I will always remember them.Now, we are no more together and I wish you well and good things always. I want you to find the happiness that you have always wanted that you could not find with me. I am sorry I could not give you the happiness you desired but I am sure in future you get what you seek and I will be happy for you.

So I end this letter with all my best wishes for you and may you be happy and contented with your true soulmate, whoever she may be.



Sincerely,

Ms. Ex...

Aahhh, at last I have a blog to call my own. Musings sounds good doesn't it? It's to tell of what I am thinking at the moment , to tell of my observations of all things that's around me and may I say, it's also to give my opinion on certain things from my point of view. Having this blog too enables me to practise my writing skills. Am thinking of writing a book or penning a memoir or two. So I guess, starting a blog is a good place as any to gauge what you readers think. At the moment, I am sitting here at Starbucks, located at the Empire Gallery in Subang Jaya. Three of my kids are here with me. They wanted to get some stuff before they leave for Japan this Wednesday. Hmmm, what else do I write here eh? Everything is still new to me; slowly but surely, I'll get there in no time at all. What I need is a little bit of practice. If my 11 year old daughter can do it (she has a blog too!) what more me right? But just finding out my lil' daughter has a blog gave me a

LIFE...without FACEBOOK for a week.

Since I am on a one week's leave of absence from Facebook, I thought I'd have a daily log of activities, starting from Day 1 till Day 7, or whatever day that's the last...haha DAY 1 - Thursday, 26th January, 2012 Started off the day as usual. Went around the condo cleaning and dusting and collecting bags of trash to be thrown down the chute. Had a shower, got dressed then went to Peekaboo at  The Curve for my customary hair wash. Lucky I went there early, otherwise I would have had to wait longer for my hair to be washed since it was their first day of reopening after the CNY celebrations and some of the staff were still on leave. After Peekaboo, I crossed over to Ikano Power Centre where the Cold Storage is to get some foodstuff. Since I already knew what I wanted to buy, it was a quick walk round the aisles with a basket in hand. Got all that I needed, then it was back to the Curve side, got the car and headed for home. At home, put all the stuff away, got myself

Resolutions, resolutions, resolutions...

Yeah...what are resolutions exactly? For me, resolutions are a set of goals I set for myself to be accomplished, maybe, till the end of the year....haha... The goals varies and of course that which suits my needs, in other words. I was first introduced to having a new year resolution by my late father when I was in my early teens. He would make me and my other sisters write out our resolutions and read them out to him and my mum! Yup! We had to read our resolutions to him so he would know if we had our priorities straight. Anyway, he gave us each a diary too so that we can keep track of our activities. Initially, we were most diligent in filling up our diaries but as the year progressed, we became lazy and stopped updating our activities altogether...that was till another new year approached...hahahaha The same can be said for our resolutions too. We would try to complete what we had listed but somewhere through the year, the resolutions took a back seat to other daily stuff. So, f
