A great time with "family"

Like every beginning Monday I will tell what notable things that happen to me throughout the entire week.

The week was just the same mundane routine. I did managed to finished a couple of NES games which is awesome.  On the weekend we went to 2 open houses. The first was one of my wife's students. It's a yearly tradition where he invites us to come every year. The food was great and the company was too. It was not until the evening where the real fun begins.

A bit of backstory behind this. Around 8 years back when I was in New Zealand, we met this couple with 3 boys. Both wives get along good. As for the guy, both of us tolerated each other. So it wasn't an awkward moment. Eventually we became "family" that has no blood ties but we would do anything for each other. Fast forward 7 years in 2016. We were invited to participate in their last sister's wedding. So even though we are not related by blood the whole extended family treat us like we were brother and sister. Fast forward last Saturday. (Oops, forgot to mention we are the "family" of the wife side of the group. The wife has 5 sisters and 4 brothers plus in laws). So on Saturday it was their annual Eid get together. We were also invited. When we arrived there, we had food and we talked a lot. Apparently, my jokes over there are like gold... So I keep making jokes and they keep cracking up. It came into a point that the whole house were roaring since my jokes were hilarious. I love spending time with people who appreciate our company and my jokes.

On Sunday, went to my friend house (he used/is still my best friend but his wife is err..) for the last Eid celebration. Since I pratically spend my entire uni years with that family, I figure why not come to see his mom and dad. I ate and talk for a while. The mom and dad loves having me around (I hope so) since I talk a lot. Apparently my friend is so introverted that he never tells his parents anything about my life. So I spend a good 30 mins updating them on what is happening with me. Suddenly, his wife and kid showed up. If you think he is introvert, (as my wife put out) his wife is a snob. Did want to talk to me and when I did talk to her, he just nodded...

Studying time: I finished week 3 in record time. Now helping my wife doing her clerical work. Soo week 4 will be put on hold for a while. 

Blogging before bed

It's been a while since I've been blogging. Probably because I am just lazy or there nothing much to report. Actually there is a lot that I want to talk about but really don't have that much time. So let's get started on some reporting

Last week 9/7/2017. The whole day after 11am was filled with open houses. I am on this no sugar diet (where I don't eat anything sugary based stuff) and I find it is freaking hard since there are a lot of nice desserts that taste so good. The open houses lasted until evening. After that we had to rush home for an Indian wedding. This is my first time going to an Indian wedding and I must say it was an experience. The person that invited me, was actually meant for my mom, but she couldn't make it so she send us instead. Basically in the Indian wedding you expect a lot of dancing and curry based food. Since the people of here are vegetarian so all the food are vegetarian based or vegetables that look like meat.

Besides that my sister in law is going through a rough patch. It's been 10 days and I think they are piling more shit on them. The divorce that happen 10 days ago didn't sit well with her. The wife expects the husband to just come back to her. But the husband ( as my wife said ) is an idiot. What kind of guy who leaves 2 beautiful kids just because he wants a to be treated differently with another woman. Well what I heard to day is that my step mom in law is in talks with the lawyer in order to move all her daughters assets from her husband. The problem is that the wife is not having a good family support system. Her family is treating this as her fault and they are not giving her words of encouragements. So who does she turn to.. My wife... She should start charging for her sessions

My studying has gone full swing. I am clocking 4-5 hours a day in doing my courses. Usually at night my brain gets drained by learning a lot of codes. I really hope this is useful to my advancement of my career.

Rant of the week
I know it is not nice to be jealous of people but sometimes I feel that other people in Facebook has better lives than me. Which is highly suspect since, people usually post happy stuff on the wall on facebook. Unless its a sad story... Seeing family having gatherings celebrating birthdays, people going on vacations, people just having the time of their lives makes me feel that I am not accomplishing anything at all. But I think I have a fulfilling life.. But I do wish I do more.

Series: Watching family guy when I have the chance. 1 or 2 episodes a day...

Ok that's all for now... I want to try to catch some zzz... Night folks

A lot to talk about

Well Its July and it has been a rollercoster June month. Let's kick it off

Well first of all, the fasting month is over. 30 days have come and gone and I think I didn't accomplished anything spiritually. That's kind of sucks but I do what I can and the rest its up to God to accept it or not.

After fasting comes Eid. I am in the age where I don't look forward to Eid. While everyone is excitedly preparing for the celebration, I really couldn't care less. My wife loves to shop during this time. She loves to buy clothes for the kids and herself. Since everyone needs to be the same colour theme. So I needed to get new traditional clothes. Whatever makes the family happy I guess

The main reason I hate Eid is because families just don't understand. Everyone wants to spend the first Eid raya with that particular family. In my case it was my wife's turn. But my mom guilt trip me into spending time with her. I kind of felt used and a bit annoyed by it. But she is my mom and I try my best to accommodate . I didn't get any brownie points with my wife so that kind of sucks. My weideal Eid is just going to all my parents and after that go home and just eat and sleep and watch tv. Long story short 1, 2nd day was great. did do anything much. 3rd and 4th day spend it with my mom.

Stuff that is happening around me

I am getting to lazy to start again my online course. But I have 3 months to finish it sinc emy wife has given up on her phd. I will support her no matter what so I think by October I need to get back in the workforce. Why I am lazy? I don't find the subject interesting? Not really... I think the main reason is I know I want to slack and play games or do something else which is much more awesome than studying. But its a long game. I am doing this for my families future so I need to make sacrifices.

The big thing that happen this couple of months is that my sister-in-law (SIL) is having marital problems. Her husband is having a kind of affair with a student of his (He is a highschool teacher). It escalated a lot until my wife have to step in to become mediator since my SIL can't handle it. The climax of the issue happen yesterday when the husband wanted a divorce and left the house with the 2 kids as well. The kids are 4 years and 8 months. His wife gave him 2 weeks to think it over and see what does he wants in life. In my personal opinion is that, if you don't have any once of responsibility for your kids, you just a F-king douchbag and better just leave the family. I do pity my SIL since she can't accept the fact that the husband wants other people in the relationship. But the wife is a strong women and the kids are resilient so they will survive if he decided to get back together. The thing is that knowing him... even if he promised not to do it again... Its human nature to have something that you can't have so I think the marriage won't work out.

Series: Probably for 3 months no series since I really need to start this online course again.

Studying time: Starting today
