Second Entry Of Year 2021

 Sunday 12 December 2021

There I go again..... One entry at the begining n one entry at the end.😁😁😁

Not going to offer any execuses this time.

Just received a call from Niel n it eases the anxiety a little. With this lingring migraine, it does mean a lot. 

Wow, Christmas is just round the corner... It hits me when Niel mentioned that he n his wife just came home from sending some money for Christmas gifts to family in Bohol.

Discussed with Irma on our  contribution. She agreed n need to talk to hubby about his contribution.... It has been our annual practice but gosh almost forgotten about it.

 Memory is that bad huh !

Besides conveying the brother's salam, I told Irma I am feeling a little sayu, sad in a way for some reason or other.... Maybe after reading some sad news on FB... Two children were orphaned due to accident on the North South Highway yesterday n a lady developed physical pain due to great stress n thought that she is going nut as no doctor could find anything wrong after running some tests. It took a patient ortho intern to tell her that her pain is real n only she has to see a different kind of doctor to get help....,

12.26am Monday 13 December 2021

After a break n a ceragem session, continued with the entry….

Looking back, it has been a tough n a trying year this 2021…. Allah SWT decide to test me again… giving back to me what I was given 20 years ago. I can not complain actually. I have been rather complacent, putting caution to the wind, did not mind my life style, did not watch my diet…… 

Have been taking Letrozole since May. Have been feeling extra tired ever since. Could not do as much gardening as I used to….It is always resting time in the afternoon…..

It is late now, so will continue when I continue…..Goodnight world😴😴😴

8.33am Monday 13 December 2021

After a good night sleep, feeling much better overall. Had aloe blend to increase immunity . Inn Sya Allah.  

This morning, expecting the tiling contractor to come n look over the new cat house n give us the quotation. Bismillahurahmanirahim... let it be a good negotiation. Amèen YRA

Had to ask the tukang ti seal back the wall. The water outlet that he is making is not viable n it will make tiling mire difficult. Moreover, the screw on cap is rather cumblesome... Eyesore from the entrance. This is the result of tukang being forgetful😐🙄 Forgot the make allowance for water drainage when cementing the floor.😔😭😢

Taking a break now....

NEW YEAR 2021

What have I done on 1st day of 2021?

Wished family members a happy new year on WhatSapp. Posted a greeting on face book. Then the rest is routine...

- Took breakfast n then medicine n supllements 

- Attended to the cats, fishes n plants.... that toke up the whole morning

Cats- All 16 of them😄 Two young females, Boo Boo n Hanis are my daughter's apples of the eyes n they stay in the house. 12 more stay in the newly built 3 doors house. While 1 pregnant Mek, the mother of Boo Boo n Hanis is being quarantined in the old cat house due to Sporo infection and 1 is in a cage recovering from spaying.

The ladies, Adi, Comel, Melon, Pinky n her daughter, Mimi, stay in one compartment. Two guys,Teh n Omel stay next door while the last compartment is occupied by five heroes, Carrot, Belang, Bronz, Blue n the young Oyen whose mother, Ngiam, is recovering from surgery

Oh ya, all 16 of them are handful. Though they are either strays or decendants of strays, we love them all. 😍😍😍

Fishes- We have 2 kaloi n the rest are tiny peacock fish, reared for mosquitoes control.

Plants- I lost count of how many types of them are in my garden. Once I overheard a plumber who came to install garden pipe commented to the wife who assisted him, that, there must be over  thousand types of plant in the garden.😄 All I know is that, it takes me over an hour to water them thoroughly........

So, new year or not, life goes on as usual. 

May Allah SWT bless us all with health and safety. Ameen

THINKING HARD...continues

My life and that of my loved ones have changed rather drastically by Covid 19.....

My hubby n I used to travel up to USJ once a forthnight to be with our 2 children, our daughter-in-law n our only grandson. My daughter stays on her own in our house while our son n his family live in an apartment not far away.

Now, we have our daughter staying with us since before the first MCO started. It was God's will that she came back to the kampung with us . Syukur Alhamdulillah. Being self-employed n works from home is a blessing in disguise for our daughter.

We have not been to USJ for ages. Our son has been taking care of our USJ house. He used to have to run the engine of our daughter's car but no more since we have brought the car back to the kampung...

Missing them so much... We used to celebrate birthdays n other occasions together ..... Now, we only exchange greetings on WhatSapp or by calling. So sad

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021😂😂😂

THINKING HARD

Body is tired but wanting to pen sonething before the year 2020 ended.

This year of the rat by Chinese zodiac has seen such a devastation to the world. Millions of people have died due to Covid 19. More have suffered physically, mentally, emotionally n financially...

How has this pandemic affected me personally...

Saturday 25 January 2020- Chinese New Year. I was back in Kelantan with my family for the occasion like we always do yearly without fail. We went about doing what we have been doing every year...We had our reunion dinner on the eve. Then giving out angpow. On the 1st day after breakfast, we went visiting our elders  who are still around in the village. Everything was the same except for a new topic of conversation- Corona Virus......Wuhan n the lockdown in China were the hot topic. Since China is so far away, we only have sympathy for the Chinese and did not worry much.

Now, Wednesday 30.12.2020, we more or less have decided that, we can not go back for the Chinese New Year 2021 which falls on Friday 12 .02.2021. It is so sad that it has to happen. Not going to be with Pa and Ma on the most auspicious day for them is so unthinkable. My siblings and I always believe in being home for the CNY as long as our parents are still alive. So that is the first blow Covid 19 rendered on me....😭😢😤

To be continued....

3.39pm Monday 06 April 2020

Three weeks into MRO/ STAY HOME ORDER due to Covid 19...
Syukur Alhamdulillah, so far so good. Hubby n I are lucky that our daughter happened to be with us in the kampung before 18 March 2020, the starting of the Stay Home Order...
We have less one person to worry about besides our son n his family in Subang Jaya, my parents in Kelantan n my siblings n their families wherever they are.... May Allah SWT keep us all safe. Ameen.

I consider myself truly blessed in this trying time... I have a gated home in the kampung which is situated within 10km of main facilities....
My gate remained locked so I have no worry of someone suddenly appear in front of my door unannounced... On line orders are delivered at the gate by mask wearing Poslaju guys...😊
Ever since my retirement, I spent my time  after breakfast till noon in my garden. There are so much to do... Every plant needs my love and attention... watering, weeding, fertilizing or just simply admiring the beautiful blooms... Many are scented😍
There are Geese, fishes n cats to be fed n pampered...
So by the time I get indoor, I am ready to make lunch. Now that my girl is around, we take turn to prepare meals...
When indoor, my time is occupied with other hobbies... face booking, WhatSapping, drama/movies watching on TV, YouTube n Netflix... and of course membawang . All these are done  in my comfy easy sofa, a birthday gift from my children 3 years ago ♥️♥️♥️
So I am occupied 24/7. No time to feel bored.  Syukur Alhamdulillah ....

Good morning 2020

0818 Wednesday January 2020

Good morning 2020,
Good morning world,
Good morning everybody❤😻🕶

Not exactly feeling that good due to lack of sleep I guess...
After solat, did a little limbering up. Feel much better.😎
Syukur Alhamdulillah
Still blessed to breath the air in the year 2020, another decade...

No big deal, said some.
Saw some remarks on fb. One said, his new year starts with 1 Muharam, another said his starts on 25 January 2020
Whateverlah...
Being a Malaysian, I celebrate all......

Looking forward to have lunch with my beloved family at an Arab restaurant in SP today.... A beearly treat to celebrate my first born's birthday. Beearly because tomorrow, 02.01.2020 is the 1st day of school year 2020 for my grandson, his son, Haj.😁
Syukur Alhamdulillah, really happy to see that my son is looking leaner. He has been doing a lot of brisk walking.... But I am not being heĺpful.
Last night, just handed him a giant goody bag from the kampung-a pkt of durian, sambal goreng,  roti jala, bergedil n instant cereal with brown rice packet drink.😁😛😜
Hope he has the will to freeze some of them n space out the consumption...
May Allah SWT bless you always dear son. Love you.❤

A doa without fail for the wellfare of my loved ones. My immediate family, Pa, Ma, my 8 siblings and their families.
Come 25 January, we will be having our annual reunion dinner. All except 2 siblings n famiies who stay oversea, will be exchanging hugs, gifts  and good wishes this time.
Pa and Ma who are over 90 yrs old would be grinning from ear to ear...
Looking forward to that...
May Allah SWT bless our big day n keep all of us safe. Ameen.

0916... Time for breakfast.

Countdown to Year 2020

2127 Tuesday 31 December 2019

Like last year, year before last, year before that.... We travelled up to be with our dear ones..... daughter, Son, daughter-in-laws n grandson.....if son n his family did not go back to the Phillipine.
We preferred to travel rather than ask them to travel.....
Why ?
When they travel, the anxiety is unbearable. 😣😩😩

We started journey around noon.  Stopped to refuel before hitting the highway. Traffic was normal... He tend to speed. Reminded him a few times.
As usual, had lunch at R&R n visited the loo at another.
Called daughter like normal practice....
So, everything seemed normal. Nothing unusual.

Then, 1/3 way to go, he srarted talking about international affairs. Giving his opinion on this and that.  All praise for the neighbour across the strait... The government went right down to business of running the country immediately after winning the election. Not like ours....He kept praising one particular minister, his favourite...
" I think you are more citizen of that country than a Malaysian!!!" I repeated...
We started arguing.....
One thing led to another... Now it is confirmed that he is one of those who believed that our country present predicament is all due to the mismanagenent of former government.....
When I tried to argue, I was accused of being influenced by cybertroupers...🤤
So it was silent all the way till I rested and solat.

Is it worth it who is right and who is wrong ?
After 46 years of togetherness...
Are we going into 2020 being sore at each other over something that is out of our control?
Definitely not...

2343.... Happy new year dear and everybody
