As a Schlumberger wife, I've always been told by my hubby to always be prepared for a transfer. I never took it seriously. I know the International Mobile title on him (International Mobile or IM means that an employee must be able to move anywhere in the world in short notice) means that we can never get too comfortable in one place, he can be transferred anywhere the company needs him to be. But then, I never expected 'short notice' means THIS short!
We had just finished packing up, working our way to get comfortable in a place called Bangkok (oh, sorry, I never updated in this blog that we've moved to Bangkok.. hehe) now, he's off to Sudan pulak.. The first time he told me about the transfer I was shocked, I didn't know what to say, I was stunned. But slowly, I began to accept it, I know he didn't want this but he's willing to do it for the family. So sad.
But the problem is once we've started a family, there are a lot of things to consider, such as the financial aspect, ya lah nowadays everything is all about money. I'm not saying we're doing this to be rich quickly, but we have to admit money is an important aspect, for example the time Lyssa was admitted into ICU, I wonder what will happen if it happened when Amy was born instead. (The bill for Lyssa's ICU treatment was 17k ok? And my cesarean was 10k) At that time we were just newlyweds, not much money and the company didn't cover much for delivery too since Asno was a local engineer not an IM (what a crap). Would we go up to the doctor and say "Doktor, boleh tak jangan masukkan anak saya dekat ICU.. kami tak cukup duit" sure cannot lah right? So, thinking about the pros and cons hubby dearest decided to go to Sudan and he'll just rotate to and fro from Sudan to Malaysia occasionally when he's on vacation.
Now that we're in Malaysia, I feel I really miss our time in Vung Tau. To me, that's the nicest place I've been to, with a lot of beautiful memories for us. Nowadays I will always listen to this song my Dafi.. hehe.. Macam orang bercinta pulak.. but everytime I hear it, I will have tears in my eyes. The words feel like something my hubby would tell me.
So enjoy the song ya..:)
Dafi - Bila Terasa Rindu
Apa agaknya khabarmu di sana?
Di sini ku sedang dibelenggu rindu
Beginikah rasa seksa perpisahan
Sungguh anehnya hidup berasingan
Hati terasa bagai tertinggal di situ
Meskipun tubuh dah jauh beribu batu
Sesaat seperti tahun lamanya
Semasa kau tiada
Apa yang terdaya…
Bila terasa rindu ku sebut namamu
Dengan harapan kau akan muncul dalam tidur
Bila terasa rindu ku bayang wajahmu dalam angan
Dan barulah ku terasa bagai disembuh
Jauh sekali hidup di sini berbeza
Beribu kali lagi ku selesa di sana
Tak sabar menantikan detik kepulangan
Namun hingga itu
Apa yang termampu…
Bila terasa rindu ku sebut namamu
Dengan harapan kau akan muncul dalam tidur
Bila terasa rindu ku bayang wajahmu dalam angan
Dan barulah ku terasa bagai disembuh
Terlintas di fikiran untuk meminggirkan saja
Semua pencarian di sini
Tetapi ini sebahagian dari pengorbanan
Bekalan andainya hari sukar mencabar
huwaaa sedih2... :(
