A Start... I hope...

The truth is sometimes too hurtful.... Just like what happened to my mother's siblings after my grandparents left us...

My grandmother left us for more than five years now... And grandfather left us last year.... Still think of them everyday though.... For the love they gave... for their kindness... for their memories.... And just thinking of them bring tears to my eyes....

Anyway, it was never the same for my uncles... There were arguments, dissatisfactions and of course not talking to each other... Everyone blaming everyone... Luckily, my mother talks to everyone... and I think being the eldest sister and good to everyone, makes them in a way show some respect to her...

Last year raya was very quiet....

Alhamdulillah, this time there were changes... We even had a raya bbq... Although not everyone was there, it was much much better than none at all... I'm happy for the effort... And I pray that soon everyone will be together... InsyaAllah....
A start, I hope for all of us to be back together....

Mid Term Exam....

Mid-term exam last saturday class....
which.... i forgotten until a classmate reminded...
which.... i missed out some hints as the lecturer was still using my old email add when i had already provided her my other email...
which... class started at 9am instead of 8am, and being good this time I actually arrived at 8...
which... i was totally blank on some questions....

yet... remembering my friends advice.. "ala... exam jer... kalau tak pass, fail..." still made me smile.... and not feeling that bad for not knowing the answers...

hopefully the lecturer is generous enough and gives us good marks for the assignments... and then need to work harder for the final.... hahaha....

Buah hatiku 3....

We eagerly waited for faiz to come back for raya... Faiz landed on the wednesday before raya, but then.... he was not feeling well.... on and off fever and vomiting almost everything he ate... And later on the raya eve, buah hati sorang ni was admitted to the GH...

My brother called to tell us faiz got to be admitted... I got worried... panic started... and on the raya eve while there still was plenty to do especially in the kitchen, my father and I drove to GH... I have to see him myself.... And that was him at the GH pediatric ward on raya eve... his fever was still high at this time... And he'd tell... "maklong, faiz masuk hospistal..." Feel so sad looking at him....

On the second day of raya, we managed to meet the specialist during their routine tour... According to her, faiz got viral fever... thank goodness it was not dengue.... it's normal for viral fever to show up and down body temp... and they decided to continue monitoring him, taking the normal fever syrup and only if the fever does not show any decreasing will they start with antibiotic... i don't have any idea for how long they wish to monitor... what i wanted at that time was for faiz to be well and go home and start his raya....

so, we decided to move faiz to private hospital on the same evening.... once admitted there the second thing the pediatrician did was giving him antibiotic (when in GH the specialist decided to wait).... the first thing he did was of course getting some blood for lab test... which he cried out loud during the process... maybe due to the trauma of similar process at GH... the mark on his hand obviously showed it....

he got better after that, Alhamdulillah... and was disharged on the fifth day of raya... only few days left to be with him before he'd be back to kl.... hmm....

but then... despite being in the hospital, faiz still got his duit raya...!!! at one time when giving the green packet by a relative, he asked "dalam ni ada duit ker?.."
and he learnt new phrase this time.... "OMG" (not Oh Memang Gempak ya..!!!)

Hello there...

It has been a while since my last post... A friend said it's full of dust and spider webs now... Not that I don't have anything to write, but everything is just being written inside the brain.... :)
And so the excuse....

Good words I got from a good morning mail...

" Never make the same mistake twice... there are so many new ones... try a different one each day..."

" A good way to change someone's attitude is to change our own... because the sun that melts butter also harden clay..."

" Life is just like the sea... we are moving without end... nothing stays with us... what remains is just the memories of some people who touched us as waves...."

So true, right..????

Breakfasting with Lina....

As usual, last minute plan works well with Lina.... ;) Jangan marah ha Lina..!!!

Met up at Queensbay Mall without any idea yet where to break the fast... Finally, it was 'Baked Sweet Potato'.... And Lina, it was 'ubi keledek', not 'ubi kayu' yer...!!! Of course there was more than just the sweet potato later.... :)

Quite nice actually sharing the ubi keledek.... First time taking it for break fasting.... Much much better than 'minum air ngan biskut', breaking fast in the factory... Betul tak???.. Luckily for me, after nearly 7 years, this Ramadhan there's no more break fasting in factory or with 'air kotak' while being trapped in the traffic jam.... Syukur...
