Today marks our 6th years together-gather as husband and wife. It has been SIX wonderful years living together-gather. Teringat pulak when we decided to come out with a blog of ours. Jenuh la nak pikir nama apa nak bagi utk blog ni. In the end after a few potential names we finally decided to name it "Together-gather". Since its going to be our blog, our stories.
Anyway, lets continue where we left before. We got engaged on July 14th 2001, about 4 months after we were back from Guinea. The merisik was done while we were still in Guinea. Balik2 make sure dpt kerja dulu, then baru proceed with the next step in our relationship.
Our nikah day was on May 25th 2002 and the kenduri was held the day after. The other reception was held on June 1st 2002. On May 29th 2002, Mr hubby sat for PTD exam. Rezeki orang baru kahwin, he passed the exam. Mr hubby joined gomen service in January 2003.
September 2002 Mrs wifey got pregnant. 9 months later, Harith Arsyad was born on May 31st 2003. Tak lama dah nie besday dier... :D tau what he wishes for his birthday? A birthday in Disney and a Cars birthday cake. Selain tu, mintak birthday party at school. Amboi la, dah pandai demand... :) We'll see aper yg termampu ayah and mama tunaikan ;) At least birthday party at school dah ditunaikan.
Last year, we celebrated our 5th anniversary in Bali. Since it was our 5th anniversary, we got ourselves new wedding bands. Pergi Bali pun ber2 je, kira honeymoon la... Harith tak la dilupakan terus, we went to Bali again in November 2007 and that time bawak Harith lak. Bali is a very nice place. Semua ader, nak beach, mountain, kpg scenery, or even shopping, name it... semua ader! Mrs wifey seronok shopping je kat sana. Millionaire shopping, mmg la syok! Tapi kat US lagi la Mrs wifey kelabu mata. Nampak semua benda murah2 je. Kalau kat KLCC, keluar from Marks & Spencer 2-3 bags, kat US leh penuh satu bonet with the same amount of money spent. Opss!!! off topic plak...
Anyway, where are we gonna celebrate our anniversary this year? Let's blog about it in next entry once we are back from wherever we will be. *wink

Political Science
There's been a lot had happened to Malaysia's political arena recently. Starting from 12th General Election last March 2008 which have been a hot topic discussed at various levels, until recently few days back when the former PM denounced himself from UMNO. There's a lot of pro's and con's from the aftermath of all the events in the political arena. Well, lets not talk about the political scenario back home. I'm not an expert to address my gestures towards the political games, generally.
Anyway, one of the subject I'm currently enrolled for this trimester is NSP Issues in Research and Policy Analysis. It's basically viewing NS issues that drives domestics and foreign policies from a retrospective view of political science.
- Maxcy Hall, UNH main building where the Political Science Dept is located
The Political Science Department of UNH is among one of the highly regarded college in the States. The late Dr. Caroline Dinegar was behind the success stories of the department. Her vast experience when she serves as Foreign Affairs officer at the US State Department was remarkable. She served for two years as director of the Peace Corps in Malaysia in the mid 70's. Yes! In Malaysia after the May 13, 1969 incident. She was there assisting Malaysia to recover from the traumatic event.
What did really amazed me is what the late Dr Dinegar brought back from Malaysia, place it for display at the Department of Political Science of UNH. These 2 posters in Bahasa Melayu and Chinese was used during the 4th General Election 1974 that witnessed a 87.7% majority of Barisan Nasional with PAS as part of the alliance. To some these posters are just another political posters, but personally I was really touched by it. I can't really describe the feelings the first time I saw it. I really wished the unity spirit is still there within us Malaysian.
Deep down inside I still have faith that what ever the political scenario is in Malaysia, we are all still united as Malaysian, regardless the races, cultures or religions. That what makes us Malaysian unique from the rest of the world.
United we stand... together-gather we...

Birthday at school
This little man celebrated his birthday at school 10 days earlier. Got a memo slip few weeks ago from his teacher. Initially they would like to celebrate Harith's birthday on the 30th of May (his birthday is on 31st, tapi jatuh hari sabtu). We requested to do it earlier coz we won't be around on the 30th. So they celebrated his birthday on the 21st. Tercapai la hajat Harith nak birthday at school :D
