A Sad Gathering

My friends and I (almost twenty of us) gathered at a dear friend's house to recite surah Yasen and doa for another friend who still in ICU HKL after a brain surgery. There were tears flowing and exchange stories about our comatose friend.

After that we went to the hospital and visited her. She is a sorry state... Her family were gathering all over the hospital and reciting surah Yasin together. We pray for her recovery but eventually Allah knows better. Her youngest girl is only 8 years old and it broke our hearts to see the kids. She has 7 children and they were all waiting.....

My doa is with her and family..... It kept me thinking actually. Will there be anybody should my time comes? God knows....

A Passing Away...

Remember few weeks ago I was writing about proposal? Today I found that he passed away last Monday. He suffered a heart attack and I was informed by his daughter. I was supposed to meet him last week when he came to KL but according to his daughter, he was not feeling well and rushed home after being in KL for 3 nites only. I thought that he was busy or refused to meet me but maybe he knew about his condition and dont want me to be upset. Should I were to meet him then, I think I would be more devastated now. I am sad as he was very concerned about me and my kids. He always voiced up his worries about us and now I understand why. He even sent me a present for my recent birthday and I will cherish him.

May Allah bless his soul and thank you and goodbye to you Abang. Al-Fatihah....

Another nite out

I had another nite out with friends but this time friends from my neighbourhood. At first one of them came to my house and we started listening to some songs stored in my PC. Then we adjourned to her house and two more friends joinned us. We chit-chatted until 2.30 am! Actually only the two of us. The other 2 went back around 12.30 am. My kids were there and fell asleep. Had to wake them up when it was time to go back....

It was wonderful to know that people care... and willing to help you when you are in need.... What a bless!

Birthday - GE Mall

My two good friends, Aya and Shema spent almost 12 hours with me from breakfast at O'Briens, lunch at Penang Village and dinner at Wong Solo. What a day! We had a good time looking through the old pics posted at Fb. Today is Shema's birthday and she is alone at home.... So we decided to keep her company at least until dinner.

So much to cerita to each other and at this age, friends are important... my old classmates whom I spent 5 years together.... They are like my family, my sisters.... Thank you.

School

I was called by Maisarah's class teacher to meet him and the HEM (Hal Ehwal Murid) on Thursday. I understood that A went to see him on Monday and the teacher decided to call me to discuss some matters. I was supposed to appear in court but I decided to go to school as I have a lawyer to assist me in court.

The teacher was trying to explain to me that Sarah has some difficulties which I am aware of. Perhaps his discussion with A was to point that Sarah cannot learn in her present school. I met the HEM and explained to her Sarah's condition and I am not expecting Sarah to excel in her academics but I want her to improve her communication skill and her behaviour. I know she has learning disabilities and had been going for theraphy for the last 6 years at HUKM. And her academics is not my priority...

The teacher told me that Sarah's eyes would be watery if any male teachers raise their voice or scold her.... I told the teacher doesnt that shows that she is in constant fear when faced when adult males like her father? She went through a traumatic early life while I was married. And since, I have tried to protect her and guide her to overcome her fears.

The day her father met her teacher, she was so frightened that her father would hit me. She kept on asking whether her father will scold me and abuse me again. I cant imagine whats playing in her mind.....

I cleared the matter with the teachers and explained to them that I am aware of her condition and she is undergoing her regular theraphy at HUKM. All I wanted is for her to grow up at her own phase and maybe someday she could be independent....

New Hairdo.

Sarah had her hair cut last Thursday and this is how she looks like... Short and sasssy. Easier to maintain. Well... she doesnt like to comb her hair then short is the answer! No complains from her and yesterday Zaid cut his hair. He had been asked by the teachers to cut his hair. Finally... I have asked him many times and he ignored me.

Birthday - BTS

My kids insisted to go to BTS on my birthday. Well... no food at home too coz I was at work till evening. We met Arina and Salmi there. They got me chocs from Amos with a cute teddy bear. Sarah immediately claimed the bear, as usual and we had dinner at Papa John.

What came after dinner was a surprise... A cake and the whole staffs of Papa John singing together with the customers... Malunya... Too old for that. The cake was good and thanks to Salmi n Arina for making my day.

A Quiet Birthday....

I was at the office today, on my birthday. I was treated by a couple of engineers to a sumptous Thai lunch and the most surprising thing is that I recieved a pair of beautiful brooch from someone in Langkawi... What a nice gesture and Thank you for remembering my birthday.

I dont expect anything from my kids but as long as they are with me, they are the best birthday presents ever! Recieved lots of wishes via Fb and smses from friends too.... Am I getting old? Its only in the number.....

A New Feeling

Tomorrow is my birthday. Another year added and I am just beginning to relive my new life, new feelings and new resolutions. My last 2 months was hectic and frustrating coz had to go to court to settle a lot of things. It was tiring and not cheap too. But principle wise, I am going to go through all. If A thinks that I will withdraw and accept his offer, he is dead wrong. Now I am not going to allow him to undermine me, belittle me and take me for granted. I am going all out to make sure that he will pay the dues. It may be lengthy and exhausting, but with the support from close people around me (esp my friends), I will fight till the end. I will fight for my dignity, my kids and family. I will fight for the principle....
