What on earth is it? Well, it is actually a dilemma that we are facing. Married quarters or own house, which is our next destiny?
It is the second week of his attachment program here in KL. So far, looking at the schedule, it is not convenient to commute back and forth, KL-BB, +-60km everyday, especially by a 125cc two-wheeler. Sheesh! So we came into an agreement that he shall come back whenever the changing schedule permits. Ingat dok unit dahsyat rupanya dok HQ lagi hebat.
This situation leads to a road block (ceh macam The Amazing Race pulak :p ) What is next, Jaja1 and Jaja2? Eh apa kau merepek ni labu. Mana ada merepek, kat ATMA orang panggil Zul as Jaja jangan tak tau. Ha sudah, short circuit dibuatnya fikir proposal hala tuju empat beranak. Senang, Yang Dipertua Parlimen sign approval ja nanti ;p hoh baru cuti sebulan dah tulis gaya tak professional. Bikin malu.
This calls for a comparison; cost-benefit analysis for the family. Both MQ and BB have its pros and cons. But at the end of the road, something needs to be sacrificed.
Option A: MQ
1. Distance
Definitely, it is near to workplace for both of us. Traveling is not an issue. Budget for traveling can be reallocated elsewhere.
2. Family bonding
We can see each other everyday, no matter how tight the schedule is. Maybe I can join the badminton session. Jom lawan tengok siapa terer *love*
3. Facilities
Fully furnished, 4 bedroom apartment. Wow. $$$ saver!
4. Babysitter
Can be expensive. Plus, I have problem to spare my trust to strangers. What more to leave my adorable kids to someone I barely knew. RAZ is soo going to playschool. And that costs 50% extra on top of current babysitter fee. How about UFZ? With skill not proven, I am scared to take risk. Baby choked while feeding is my major concern. I loss hope for nursery and afraid to switch babysitter. Yikes!
Option B: BB
1. Distance
60km away from workplace. Traveling seems affordable only by a two-wheeler. But Jaja1 said it is not suitable for Jaja2 to follow him on a 125cc. So Virago vrooom vrooom jom? Once a while, traveling by car is tolerable provided that we take the old route, not the highway.
2. Family bonding
Jaja1 will only be at home for 2 or 3 times during weekdays. Jaja2 will take over household affair.
3. Facilities
All on our own. But hey, atleast we own them instead of on loan :)
4. Babysitter
First class. Not only that they are being looked after but RAZ and UFZ will be loved by opah and family. Worth our RM300! (per person that is). And what's more important is to feel such peace at heart when leaving your kids for work.
So option A or option B? Can you guess which option that I am keen to choose?
Well, until the tansfer is finalized this remains open. Deep down, I really hope that the transfer will be materialized soon. Amin.
P/s: Zul kata "Askar ni sayang bini Ja...". Ja kata, " Of course you guys should. After all the operasi and kursus, kena tinggal lama-lama, bini la dok setia menunggu..." none of us is in a better position. Masing-masing kena sacrifice to work things out. Rindu tu lumrah rumah tangga sekalian milik negara, lebih-lebih lagi si baju hijau. Mudah-mudahan sabar dan setia terus tersemat dalam hati kita. Jangan satu hari, bila dah senang kita lupa pengalaman ini. Lupa siapa yang susah bersama. Lupa betapa hebat dugaan merindu. Nauzubillah, moga dijauhkan dari dugaan begitu. It has been 3 years. Will you tango with me for the next 30 dear Zulfadhli? ILU :)
