When we were in Malaysia, the weather was so hot, 35 Celsius degree every day. We hide from the heat. We covered ourselves in sunscreen. We drank cold fresh fruit juice. Just as our friend joked, Malaysia only had three seasons: Hot, Hotter and Hottest.
Although it is hot, there are many good fruit juice available: Lime, Watermelon, Honey Lime, Cucumber Juice, Fresh Mango, Banana, Guava Juice etc. It cools us down. Street food stores open at evening and they are so delicious and cheap.
Tips:
Visit Malaysia around October to December, the weather will be much better!
If you visit in the summer, expect to go out early in the morning or after the sun goes down. You will feel much cooler and alive away from the heat.
When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
