Quick stories
May 12, 2008 life is... 3 CommentsI’ve been yearning to update this blog for days. Sincerely I do believe I have more important things to do than to write, so at the moment writing is not the first, second or third in my list. Well, I miss writing so much sometimes. And the worse part is to lose all the ideas and questions you have in mind, all the inspiration by the time writing is finally do-able. Never mind; as mentioned, it’s just not my priority now. Lose some, gain some..right? 
The little angels are asleep…miraculously dozed off at 10pm when they’re usually up and running like there’s nothing called sleep in their diary. But behold, they might just be taking a ‘nap’ and the night will be longer that it usually is then! Haha…that usually disturbs my mind because I will surely lose some good night sleep, but after some time…NOW, I’ve learnt that life should be lived to the fullest be it night or day with my beloved kids…Time is not going to hold me back with negative thoughts and emotions though lack of sleep might challenge my limited body. I’m not alone in this task. There are other sleepless mothers in this world and most importantly Allah is there for me, with me all the way InshaALlah 
Sorry if this bores you, I’m just doing some self-encouragement ok?
Some quick stories about us down south:
1] Last Friday, I had an emergency appointment - my wisdom tooth is finally erupting! It hurts so much I could barely speak properly and accidentally bit my inner cheek. Felt like my gums are swollen and I can feel my neck painfully stretching. I took some paracetamol to relieve the pain and brush my teeth like crazy. I even gargled the mouthwash with strict discipline though I really can’t stand the feeling and taste for the sake of being healthy. By the time I meet the dentist, I felt so okay except that the gums still swells and feels uncomfortable. It was a funny dental treat. The dentist speaks so so so slowly, I can only hear him mention about my wisdom tooth ‘erupting’ the first few minutes I was treated. They gave me a mirror so that I can see what they are doing and taught me how to care for my teeth, especially the infected wisdom tooth. The doctor said because it’s really deep inside it’s not as clean as it should be, so he gave me a syringe…a syringe??! Yeah, a syringe to bring home, fill with salt water and clean my teeth. That was quite an interesting thing to bring home from the clinic ;). I asked the doctor how can I keep it clean as clean as it should be? He said I just need to keep on brushing and brushing and see the dentist regularly. I don’t mind brushing but seeing the dentist is a bit troublesome, really and expensive. And does that mean, cleaning your teeth without extra professional care from the dentist wouldn’t be good enough to have healthy teeth? Back home in Malaysia, the last time I saw a dentist was nearly a decade after the last time I did in my childhood. And she said I had really clean teeth and she’s not going to do any scaling or anything. I don’t think I’ve been eating more sweets now…or is that just a sign of getting old?!
2] The angels had an evening out with 3 sweet girls with beautiful hearts from my class who had this wonderful idea of bringing them to the park at the university, to do their favourite “duck-watching” activity (if there’s such term :D). Some lovely photos can be found at Anis’s.
3] I am no longer teaching in SMS. Had to stop until things are confirmed. Kinda miss the kids there though I don’t really think they miss me ;). I pity them for some reasons but I’m not sure whether I could help either…I’ve tried. I did. I really did. I’m not giving up though. It’s just not my call for now. I can’t be saving the whole world, though sometimes, my superhero heart feels like doing so. My tafsir class is also on holiday now so I’m quite free. Only Aimi comes for ‘mengaji’ (learning how to read the Qur’an) twice a week with Bibik and Aleeya. Seems like my two darlings have new company two play with and for Fidaa’, to stare at!
4) It’s the exam season here in the UK before summer begins with a real holiday. So everyone’s busy and looking forward to go back home sweet home soon. Hmm, wonder when it’ll be our time to go home…Soon I hope! To everyone with exams ahead, Bittaufiq Wannajah Al-Baahirah, All the Best, Ganbatte…may Allah help you all the way!
5) Started teaching Handzalah the Arabic/Qur’an alphabets with Iqra’. Tried this earlier but whether it wasn’t the right time for his age or I didn’t have enough teaching skills to interest him into doing so. He’s doing fine Alhamdulillah and Fidaa’ loves joining the fun. Since Aimi start coming to learn at my house, both of them are more interested in learning too. Fidaa’ goes ba, ba, ba all the time when she sees the Qur’an or any Arabic book.
Hope this is good enough for an update, especially to my beloved Sevenlords…may Allah be with you! Ma’assalamah….
