The 5 Love Languages

Are you and your spouse speaking the same language??

Inilah ayat di belakang buku ni. Kali ni aku nak share satu buku bahasa yang sangat menarik. Bukan bahasa Jawa, Mandarin atau Urdu. Tetapi tentang bahasa cinta.

Dipendekkan cerita, penulis ni bercerita tentang betapa pentingnya kita meluahkan rasa cinta kita kepada pasangan dalam bahasa cinta pasangan kita. Kita selalu cakap kat spouse kita..OOOh..sebelum kawin..tunggu 5 jam pun menyengih aje. Dah lepas kawin..pot..pet. So, penulis bagi bermacam2 tips nak bg hangat membara je..suhu cinta kita tu kenkononnya. Aku baca buku nih 4 bulan tak abis2..heheh. Tapi buku ni memang best...

Berikut adalah bahasa2 cinta itu...


Words of Affirmation

Mark Twain once said “I can live for two months on a good compliment.” Verbal appreciation speaks powerfully to persons whose primary Love Language is “Words of Affirmation.” Simple statements, such as, “You look great in that suit,” or “You must be the best baker in the world! I love your oatmeal cookies,” are sometimes all a person needs to hear to feel loved.

Aside from verbal compliments, another way to communicate through “Words of Affirmation” is to offer encouragement. Here are some examples: reinforcing a difficult decision; calling attention to progress made on a current project; acknowledging a person’s unique perspective on an important topic. If a loved one listens for “Words of Affirmation,” offering encouragement will help him or her to overcome insecurities and develop greater confidence.


Quality Time

Quality time is more than mere proximity. It’s about focusing all your energy on your mate. A husband watching sports while talking to his wife is NOT quality time. Unless all of your attention is focused on your mate, even an intimate dinner for two can come and go without a minute of quality time being shared.

Quality conversation is very important in a healthy relationship. It involves sharing experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires in a friendly, uninterrupted context. A good mate will not only listen, but offer advice and respond to assure their mate they are truly listening. Many mates don’t expect you to solve their problems. They need a sympathetic listener.

An important aspect of quality conversation is self-revelation. In order for you to communicate with your mate, you must also be in tune with your inner emotions. It is only when you understand your emotions and inner feelings will you then be able to share quality conversation, and quality time with your mate.

Quality activities are a very important part of quality time. Many mates feel most loved when they spend physical time together, doing activities that they love to do. Spending time together will bring a couple closer, and, in the years to come, will fill up a memory bank that you can reminisce about in the future.Whether it’s sitting on the couch and having a brief conversation or playing together in a tennis league, quality time is a love language that is shared by many. Setting aside focused time with your mate will ensure a happy marriage.


Receiving Gifts

Some mates respond well to visual symbols of love. If you speak this love language, you are more likely to treasure any gift as an expression of love and devotion. People who speak this love language often feel that a lack of gifts represents a lack of love from their mate. Luckily, this love language is one of the easiest to learn.

If you want to become an effective gift giver, many mates will have to learn to change their attitude about money. If you are naturally a spender, you will have no trouble buying gifts for your mate. However, a person who is used to investing and saving their money may have a tough time adjusting to the concept of spending money as an expression of love. These people must understand that you are investing the money not in gifts, but in deepening your relationship with your mate.

The gift of self is an important symbol of love. Sometimes all your mate desires is for someone to be there for them, going through the same trials and experiencing the same things. Your body can become a very powerful physical symbol of love.

These gifts need not to come every day, or even every week. They don’t even need to cost a lot of money. Free, frequent, expensive, or rare, if your mate relates to the language of receiving gifts, any visible sign of your love will leave them feeling happy and secure in your relationship.



Acts of Service

Sometimes simple chores around the house can be an undeniable expression of love. Even simple things like laundry and taking out the trash require some form of planning, time, effort, and energy. Doing humble chores can be a very powerful expression of love and devotion to your mate.

Very often, both pairs in a couple will speak to the Acts of Service Language. However, it is very important to understand what acts of service your mate most appreciates. Even though couples are helping each other around the house, couples will still fight because the are unknowingly communicating with each other in two different dialects. For example, a wife may spend her day washing the cars and walking the dog, but if her husband feels that laundry and dishes are a superior necessity, he may feel unloved, despite the fact that his wife did many other chores throughout the day. It is important to learn your mate’s dialect and work hard to understand what acts of service will show your love.

It is important to do these acts of service out of love and not obligation. A mate who does chores and helps out around the house out of guilt or fear will inevitably not be speaking a language of love, but a language of resentment. It’s important to perform these acts out of the kindness of your heart.

Demonstrating the acts of service can mean stepping out of the stereotypes. Acts of service require both mates to humble themselves into doing some chores and services that aren’t usually expected from their gender. However, these little sacrifices will mean the world to your mate, and will ensure a happy relationship.


Physical Touch

Many mates feel the most loved when they receive physical contact from their partner. For a mate who speaks this love language loudly, physical touch can make or break the relationship.
Sexual intercourse makes many mates feel secure and loved in a marriage. However, it is only one dialect of physical touch. Many parts of the body are extremely sensitive to stimulation. It is important to discover how your partner not only physically responds but also psychologically responds to these touches.

It is important to learn how your mate speaks the physical touch language. Some touches are irritating and uncomfortable for your mate. Take the time to learn the touches your mate likes. They can be big acts, such as back massages or lovemaking, or little acts such as touches on the cheek or a hand on the shoulder. It’s important to learn how your mate responds to touch. That is how you will make the most of this love language.

All marriages will experience crisis. In these cases, physical touch is very important. In a crisis situation, a hug can communicate an immense amount of love for that person. A person whose primary love language is physical touch would much rather have you hold them and be silent than offer any advice.

It is important to remember that this love language is different for everyone. What type of touch makes you feel secure is not necessarily what will make your partner happy. It is important to learn each other’s dialects. That way you can make the most of your hugging, kissing, and other physical contacts.

OKEYLAH...Jangan lupa amal-amalkan...(aku pun tak sempat nak menghayati lagi nih hihihi..)

The Longest Weekend Ever..

Seumor hidup aku kerja ni..weekendlah waktu yg paling aku tunggu-tunggu. Masa tulah dapat meluruskan pinggang. Dapat tengok tv. Main2 dengan anak. Borak2 dengan husband. Masa weekdays..nak tengok TV pun tak sempat. Lepas tengok berita..tutup TV, tengok homework anak. Kalau bukak TV masa diaorg buat homework..alamat sampai kul 12 malam pun tak tentu siap lagi.

For the first time in my life..weekend yang lepas ni aku rasa weekend yang sangat panjang dalam hidupku. Oleh kerana masalah teknikal… dapat surat kena pergi kursus kat Melaka, pagi Jumaat tu. An hour before bas bertolak. Bergegas balik umah, kemas baju dan kelengkapan utk 3 hari. Mr. Z balik, ambik aku. Before pergi opis balik, aku cakap ngan Mr. Z, baik pergi jumpa anak aku yg seorang tu. Yang semua nak dengan mama. Ritual sebelum tidor mesti dengan mama, mandi pagi sebelum pergi sekolah pun dgn mama. Singgah jumpa dia..pesan aku kena pegi kerja jauh. Adik kena makan tau. Aku takut mogok lapar je budak debab tu. Nanti mama beli jajan.

Sampai ke hotel penginapan, tengok Swimming Pool yang besor tu..mulalah teringatkan budak2 ngan bapak budak kat umah. Sayunya hati. Masa anak kecik2, kalau kena kursus..selalu jugak aku tinggal diaorg. Kalau kat KL, my partner selalunya ikut. Masa tu takdelah aku rasa sedih ke sayu ke. Kenapalah sekarang ni aku jadik begini. Tapi bila anak dah sekolah ni..our life has been so not romantic. Nak pergi mana-mana kena pikir anak sekolah. Kenalah salah seorang berkorban. Takanlah setiap masa nak import mak bapak dari kampong. Patut-patutlah ek.

Itulah yang berlaku weekend yang lalu. Anak sekolah belah petang, pastu Hari Sabtu ada Kem Solat kat sekolah pulak. Terpaksalah aku bersendirian di perantauan. Lambatnya masa berlalu. Sunyinya hidup aku rasa. And suddenly bermula pukul 12 malam hari Ahad tu..bila mereka tiba ke hotel penginapanku…hidupku ceria kembali. Waktu mula bergerak pantas seperti biasa. Dan hidupku dah tak sunyi..

Rock Kapak..

Kali ni turn aku pulak. Dapat 2 hari MC...demam teruk plus sakit sendi. Kata abang besor...Allah sayang kat aku..aku ni org baik2..insan terpelihara. Bila aku buat yg Dia tak suka..Dia bagi demam utk aku muhasabah diri. Ntahlah. Tu kata dia. Apa yg aku dah buat?? Pendapat aku pulak..hari tu..masa anak aku demam teruk dgn batuk yg sgt menyakitkan dia..aku doa..Ya Allah ...angkatlah segala penyakit anak aku tu bagi kat aku..dan dan doa aku dah dimakbulkan.. Alhamdulillah..anak aku dah sihat...dan senyum semula.


Begini citernya...






Beberapa minggu dulu..(flashback daa...)





Tengah relaks2 hujung minggu sambil baca paper..aku cakap kat Mr.Z...Bang..kawan U buat konsert kat sini . Dia tanya..bila? 9hb Mei. La..i ada talk kt KB pulak. Hemm tak pelah.. Pastu..beberapa hari lepas tu dia kata talk dia tu dipostpone..dan tanya aku..nak booking berdiri ke duduk. Aku kata sukati..tp kita ni bukan muda lg nak berdiri lama2 camtu. Sound so old..horr.



So..Malam Sabtu lepas..kami berdua pergilah ber Rock Kapak..tengok Konsert Search..beb. Buang Tebiat ke akak besor ngan Abang Besor ni. Ada 2 sebab kitaorg pergi tengok konsert tu.




PERTAMA : Ini konsert terakhir diaorgkan.



KEDUA : Akan ku cerita diakhir story ni..sabor le..




Saspen gak aku.. Mana tahu penuh ngan Mat Rempit ke Mat Indon ke.tapi kalo konsert berbayor..kureng sikit kemungkinan puak2 tu memenuhkan tempat kan. Telahanku benar belaka. Ramai yg datang tu baya2 kita dan ke atas. Yg lebih muda dr kita tersgtlah kurengnya. Pakcik dan Makcik pun ada. Tak tahulah kalo yg muda2 tu ambik tiket berdiri..yelah kuat lagikan. Selepas semayang Maghrib dan bagi anak2 makan..maka bergeraklah kami menuju ke Stadium Tertutup MPJB.



Kamera tak dibenarkan bawak masuk. Nasiblah kamera aku terlepas..security tu tak nampak aku pegang bendalah tu.. Abang Besor kena tinggalkan Dslr dia kat luor..Takut org wat cetak rompak la tu. Konsert lum start..talian Biro Pengaduan Awam berbunyi...si adik tepon..



Mama..adik nak kenc*ng tp Acap tak nak bukak lampu bilik air..



Pastu si abang plak msg.. Mama..Adikkan main kertas colour lepastu koyak dengan gonyok.(aku taip sebijik2 apa yg dia tulis nih..no shortform beb..heheh kecik lg..dh besor sket nnti sure aku tk paham dia nyer shortform)

Ramai family yg bawak anak2. Ada yg bawak anak2 kecik. Alahai kesian bebudak kecik tu. Aku excited..le maklum first time nak tengok konsert nih..Konsert pun bermula dalam pukul 9.10 pm. Aku tengok semua org esp..hard core fan dia..yg imej ala2 kembara jalanan..head banging..aku terlopong. Tak paham sepatah haram. Yg aku dengor gedegang..gedegung bunyi drum yazid ngan guitar hillary.


Suara Amy tenggelam oleh Music yg SOOO LOUDDDDD!! i didn't enjoy AT ALL! Tak paham langsung camnalah nak enjoy ek. Kejap2..aku cuit pakwe sebelah..Bang..dia nyanyi lagu apa tu? kejap lagi aku cuit lagi..Bang..bising sgt la muzik dia..tak boleh perlahan sikit ke? Pak weku kata..kalau keroncong bolehlah..hihihi..well..keroncong anyone? pastu..aku cuit lagi dia..bang..i tak pahamlah. dia kata..u ni insan terpeliharalah.. Bila dia tengok aku blur and stone cold jer..dia tanya ..nak balik ke? Aku kata tak pelah..tunggu smpi habis..dh bayor 100 hengget lebih..layan jerlah. By that time..gegendang telinga aku dah bengkak mcm nak pecah. Aku terpikir..adakah aku yg pelik ke diaorg yg pelik. Masalahnya kenapa aku tak dpt tangkap langsung apa yg Amy nyanyikan tu..tp org2 lain esp..puak2 yg berdiri kat bawak tu boleh nyanyi sama2 lg.



Kesimpulannya dlm berbelas2 lagu yg dia nyanyikan tu..3 lagu jer yg aku paham..Isabella, Fantasia Bulan Madu dan Pawana. The 1st two song tu aku enjoy..and tetiba paham dan bole join nyanyi lagi...hik..hik. Bila lagu2 lain..aku tak paham..dan tak dpt tangkap bila masa dia tukor lagu lain. Ohh...sungguh kolot aku nih.








Tiket utk org2 yg tak larat nak berdiri..








Ambik gambor curik2 dr tempat duduk ku..







Konsert berakhir dlm pukul 11 lebih..apa yg aku dpt hanyalah gegendang telinga yg membengkak yg ambik masa lama utk recover. Okey..now aku citer sebab kedua kenapa kitaorg pegi tengok konsert nih.








Besornya aku disisinya..

Inilah sebabnya. Masa pegi umrah tu kami di bawah travel agency yg sama. Masa kt Mekah dok hotel yg sama. Makan pun sama2. Balik Mesia naik flight yg sama. Kira mcm dekat dengan dia. Aku nampak the other side of him. Humble..pendiam..dan benar2 nk mensucikan diri kepada YANG MAHA ESA. Gua respeklah kt brader ni. Kisah dia buat umrah dan nak mendekatkan diri kepada YANG MAHA ESA tu memang betul. Bukan publisiti murahan tau. Wife dia pun okey. So, kiranya pegi konsert dia tu mcm nak bagi sokongan kat brader Amy tu je... bukannya nak berrock kapak pun. Baik tengok tv atau cd je ek. Walaupun takdenya dia ingat atau kenal lagi kat kitaorg rakyat marhaen ni..
Esoknya tu, aku join tournament bowling peringkat opis abg besor plak. Last main pun 10 thn lepas. Heh ..bowling ke longkang je gamaknya. Tu le abg besor memandai masukkan nama aku. heh..padan muka. Itu le antara sebab2 besoknya tu aku demam teruk dan sakit sendi yg amat.

Well, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO THE BESTEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD..MY EMAKLAH..I LOVE U MAK.
AND TO ALL MOTHERS OUT THERE..HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TOO..Better late than neverlah..

AMBIK UPAH



Hari tu aku ambik cuti emergency. Hazeem demam dan asma. Sebenornya dari sebelum pergi PD lagi budak kecik tu dah demam, selsema dan batuk. Makan ubat, baik kejap, dua tiga hari datang lagi. Nafas dia pun dah bunyi ngit..ngit..ngit. Sempit dia nak bernafas. Sian dia..minum susu sikit..muntah.

Ubat klinik macam dah tak jalan. Kitaorang bawak dia ke Specialist. Budak2 sakit seumpama tu tersangatlah ramainya. Konsep sakitnya sama aje..demam, batuk, selsema dan asma. Berjam-jam jugaklah tunggu baru dapat jumpa Dr. Dr. Catherine suruh Hazeem ambik gas..nebu ek Nis? Pastu x ray dada dan ambik darah utk test samada darah dia ada virus atau tidak. Pastu Dr kata..baby tak payah admit sebab katil dah penuh. Nak tergelak pun ada..patutnya dia kata ..tak payah admit sebab tak teruk sangat ke. Pastu dia kata ..I kena sediakan satu katil lebih utk kes emergency yg kritikal. Adoi hai..teruk betul suasana sekarang ni ek. Macam-macam penyakit.

Yang tak sanggupnya tu kena bagi 7 jenis ubat kat dia. Huh..satu ubat pun berperang nak bagi..ni 7 jenis ubat. Hero kecik aku tu tak nangis pun masa kena sedut nebuliser dan cucuk jari dia ambik darah….masa x ray pun dia cool aje. Tapi kalau bagi ubat..ha tu dia. Perang.

Dah 3-4 hari kitaorang ambik shift jaga dia malam2. Sepanjang malam dia tak tidor ...tido2 ayam aje. Malam aku gilir2 ngan ayah dia. Pukul 5 pagi baru start shift bibik. Mula2 bibik offerkan diri jugak jaga dia malam2..kang siang bibik tu ngantuk..bantai tido…apalah jadi kat anak aku tu yek. So, bagi dia tido puas2…

Orang tua-tua kata budak demam nak ambik upah. Dari baring terlentang..nak meniarap. Dari duduk nak berdiri. Umur dia dah 9 bulan. Aktiviti utama dia ialah memapah. Dari merangkak terus berdiri dan memapah. Kali ni demam ambik upah nak duduk rupanya. Tapi harapnya jangan la lama sangat ambik upah. Cepatlah sihat anakku sayang....dapatlah mama dan ayah tidor lena..

Reunion

Cuti 1 mei yg lepas ni aku n family pergi ke reunion di Paris. Nay..nay..not that Paris..tapi Les Paris, kat Port Dickson nuu.. La..Port Dickson lagi...nak buat camna. Dah..org KL yg arrange..asek2 Port Dickson jelah. oklah tu labu. Reunion ni bukannya aku punye reunion tp my spouse punya reunion sekolah. Ramai jugak yg datang. Petang tu, penganjur buat aktiviti tarik tali and volleyball utk para gentlemen, utk kaum wanita kena dera jugak..nasib la game kanak2 riang ..yg tak ganas sgt..bwk bola pingpong dlm sudu ngan tiup belon..hehe. Anak2 aku pun semangat main game tiup belon..ngan kutip gula2.



Aku ni kan tak penah sekolah campur. So..i cannot imagine camne le budak kat sekolah campur. Bila berada di tengah mereka tu...sesuatu yg barulah utk aku. Masa kt ITM dulu tu pun cuma berapa ekor kumbg je di kalangan munga2 yg jauh lebih ramai. Bila aku tengok dorang bergelak ketawa ramai2, sambil menyingkap kenangan silam. Aku cuba imagine camne lah muka2 diaorg masa zaman muda2 dulu. Yang pasti saiz diaorang jauh lebih kecik berbanding sekarang ..huhu.



Diaorang rapat dan masih keep in touch pun sebab lepas sekolah sebahagian kawan2 Mr. Z dan dia sendiri masuk ke U yg sama. Jadik tak terputus hubungan kot. Masa tu jugak.. tag nama berdasarkan nickname masa sekolah dulu. Korang nak tahu tak apa nickname pakweku tu. Abang besor beb. Heh..jadi name tag aku..wife abang besor..dan anak aku ..anak abang besor. Aku tanya kawan dia..camna bole dpt nama abang besor tu. Dia kata senior2 yg bagi nama tu..gaya dia berjalan ala gangster gitu. Kalau kita tgk citer cina.. abang besor tu kan panggilan utk ketua kongsi gelap ke ek. Hah..don play2 tau. Spouse aku tu abang besor..heheh. Kalau le aku citer kat member dia yg abang besor dia tu..aku suruh bunuh lipas pun tak sampai hati. Dia kata kesian lipas tu pun nak hidup. Mesti kena tarik balik pangkat dia tu ek..hehehe. Abang besor tu masa sekolah dulu Presiden kelab matematik and sains.. isyy..mistaken identity betul. Patutnya budak nerd yg jadik presiden kelab2 camtu ek.



Belah malamnya makan bbq sambil beramah mesra dan jugak acara penyampaian hadiah. Semua orang dpt hadiah and souvenir. Utk alumnus lain, spouse dan anak2 alumnus pun dpt. Kumpulan yg menang dpt hadiah..yg kalah pun dapat hadiah yg sama.. hehe. Ramai yg menaja hadiah2 tu. Anak2 sukalah. Dpt macam2 toy and jajan. especially jajan yg memang 'diharamkan' kat rumah. Percutian kali ni aku tak mandi laut sbb pantainya agak kurang mengghairahkan gitu. Masa aku sampai tu air surut..kan tak cantik. Besoknya tu air pasang..tp mcm tak berselera nk mandi laut. Begitu le serba sedikit kesah reunion abang besorku. Masa tu ada reunion sekolah sains buat kt situ pd masa yg sama jugak. Jeles jugak. Aku pun teringin jugak nk reunion..jom le kawan2 kita bereunion nak..



Reunion....After 17 years ...




















Berjuang hingga ke titisan yg terakhir..




Psstt..psstt.. awek sebelah anak aku tu kan sebenornya classmate dia. Awek tu pengawas dan mmg selalu dpt no. 1. Anak aku wat tak kenal aje...biasa le mamat tu ego tinggi. Ayah dia suka nyakat anak aku ngan awek tu..hihihi




Budak2 tgh berebut gula2..







Kaum ibu yg didera bawak bola pingpong dlm sudu..







Budak ni harap gaya je lebih..tapi takut air.. bertenggek kt tangga je ..

Seorang budak debab tgh layan blues ..



Seorg budak kurus tgh menerima hadiah..
