Fever oh Fever

It was Adek's birthday alright. No special celebration, for Adek would only come back at about 10.30pm after his Tahfiz class.

Earlier in the day, Ayah received a call from Irsyad saying that a teacher from Aljunied infromed that Abang wasn't well. In fact, it has been two weeks now that he's down with an on off high fever. And then, it was Ayah, then Adek. I got a lil panic when it concerned Abang especially, after what he had been thru' last year. I tagged Mr Isham at the spur of the moment in my FB status hoping for a quick reply ( lau tepon sch susah nak get hold of the teacher s) coz I wanted to know if there was any report on Adek not being well. ( so Ayah could fetch both at the same time) Mr Isham was very prompt in his reply to my quest. Alhamdulillah Adek was fine.

After fetching Abang home, both had their lunch and solat before leaving for NUH. Yes, we didn't want to take any chances, hence the hospital. Once reached & registered, Abang was pushed to the X-ray room for ICG. Then the long wait begin. Boleh jadi gila tunggu, Ayah cakap lol! Abang was at the observation room for such long hours. ( 3+pm - 8+ ) They need to monitor his temperature as well as his heartbeat. By then, Abang was on drips and sampai habes 3 packs of glucose. But alhamdulillah, the waiting was all worthwhile. Nothing was alarming, his temp was back to normal after much close observation. Alhamdulillah, he wasn't admitted :) Still, he needs to continue medication for his fever & coughs.

While Abang's condition was considerably steady, Mama & Kakak had a fair share of the flu/fever bug the same night. 39.5 was the highest for Mama. MasyaAllah everything is as Allah's will. Redha, redha & redha! ( moga ianya menjadi penghapusan dosa2 kami ameen ) Allah loves us, yes, He does! :') May Allah grant us all syifa, ameen.

Oh & yes, even Teha is not spared. Kesian she too is having high fever at 39.7 the highest. Syafakillah my dearest!

budak sakit yang tak selera makan tapi badan macam terlebih makan hehehe

Adek is 15

My once-upon-a-time chubby, puteh melepak, kaki melalak & cute little 2nd bundle of joy is 15 today. At 15, he's such a reliable Imam and he aims to be a Hafiz one day, ameen3 insyaAllah. May Allah grant him steadfastness upon the straight path, and may whatever he does, he does it for none other but Allah. And may his dream of becoming a Hafiz come true, insyaAllah ameen :')

UAI @ Masjid Sultan

Alhamdulillah, was given the opportunity to attend UAI's kuliyah last night. It had been 2 yrs since the last we attended his live kuliyah at Subang Jaya, Bangi & Pasir Gudang, all of which were in Malaysia.

Ustaz Azhar Idrus' ( affectionately known as UAI ) kuliyah never fails to attract his followers. Singaporean fans are no exception. Masjid Sultan was overflowing with UAI's fans & it's main Muslimin & Muslimah's prayer halls were full house even an hour before Maghrib. Subhanallah! The auditorium, basement, areas outside the masjid, the walkways outside the masjid's gates were all full house!! MasyaAllah!! Hebak tarikan Ustak! :D

UAI delivered his talk with much humor. Humor aside, it was all full of beneficial 'ilm alhamdulillah. Apart from the kuliyah, we witnessed the launching of his latest book. Da'wah in comic, nice! I bought and I've read, yes :)

Looking forward to many more of his kuliyah in Singapore, insyaAllah.

Ingin Majlis Walimah Yang Macamana?

It's a tad too early to even think about majlis walimah for my kids hehehe Tapikan, all these while both Hubby & I have agreed that our majlis walimah will be something simple, yang tak membingitkan, most improtantly memorable for them..in short, yang diberkati Allah. And we are actually looking at having the walimah pat masjid je (nikah pat masjid, jamuan pat masjid) with only close relatives and close friends as guests. Tak perlulah nak korek2 pat lobang cacing cari orang2 kampong lama lol!!

Beruntunglah bakal mertua bila bakal menantu sendiri menyuarakan keinginan yang sama for a majlis yang simple yet diberkati Allah. Tak nak sanding2, tak nak diarak-arak, tak nak kompang2, eh wait kompang tu sunnah kan..tak nak salin2 baju sampai 10 pasang. Tapi adat lah kan, pengantin mesti nak look pretty on her big day :) haizzz..time anak aku nanti, ade ke calon2 bakal menantu yang sekepala berfikiran cam aku ni? Kalau ada, alhamdulillah, Mama suke! :D Dulu rasanya dah terlalu banyak kesilapan, yang antara sedar dengan tidak, antara adat dan syariat, yang terjadi didalam menyempurnakan majlis walimah kami. Berharap sangat tidak akan berulang kesilapan2 lalu, insyaAllah.

Tapi to each his own. Tak semua orang inginkan majlis yang serupa sepertimana yang kami inginkan. Andai itu terjadi, we still have to respect what the other side think best for them. Sekali dapat bakal besan yang mintak hantaran ikut kelulusan, kecantikan/kehenseman anak dia, yang nak buat grand2 pat hotel, baru padan muka aku! kekekeke 

Macam2 je..anak yang tua belom pon amek O level da cakap pasal majlis walimah lol!!

Tinker Bell

A fictional character, Tinker Bell was Kakak's favourite fairy in her younger days, and still is. Supposedly Peter Pan's best friend in PP's series, Tinker Bell, often mispelled as Tinkerbell, is every other little girl dream fairy.

Tink for short, I wasn't sure if I was able to sit for an hour or so with Kakak watching the DVD when she first got hold of her very first Tinker Bell movie. Nice! I enjoyed the first movie in DVD which Ayah bought for her. Little fairies and their adventures sure brought fun and laughter.

Then the collection of Tink's other movie DVDs continued. Not that I mind, no, not at all coz I really enjoy watching those fairies in actions, some of which, we both had watched for more than twice..oh yes, I'm young at heart hehehe

Was at Mustafa Center on Monday and make a guess what Kakak bought among her other things? Another of Tinker Bell's movie. I guess Secret of the Wings is the last of Tinker Bell's movies. She got herself Alvin & The Chipmunk's Chipwrecked too, and oh well, it was movie time for both of us yesterday. It was fun, alright :)

Kakak was so much into fairies once-upon-a-time ago that Mama even bought her a fairy suit, during her pre-school, six years ago hehehe

mama's very own tinkerbell..cute kan? hehe sorry kakak mama can't resist posting these pix..tkpela time ni kakak baru 5 years old..

:D

Healthy Snack

I'm so loving this snack combination of wolfberries, green raisins, yellow raisins, black raisins, almonds, winter melon seeds and pumpkin seeds. Delicious and healthy snack I must say. Got this one from NTUC and I thought I saw it at Mustafa Center too yesterday. Go get it & try! Sedap! 

:D

High Fever

It's been 4 days now that Abang's high fever has yet to subside. It was nothing less than 38.4 all the time and the highest being 39.7

Abang went to the clinic alone despite Mama's offer to accompany him (agaknye dia kesian nengok Mama kepala ngah mengong hehe) on Wednesday night, 6/2/13, after complaining that he couldn't quite hear properly on his right ear. He was prescribed with Soluwax eardrop to be applied on the affected ear 3 times a day. I thought it was too much for 10 drops per time so I googled for more info on Soluwax, & ok, I got the same suggested prescription.

The next day, he was down with fever with temperature above 38. I wasn't quite sure if it was due to his ear problem or was it just a coincident. Ayah brought him to our regular family clinic at Limbang instead of going back to the clinic Abang went the other night. (Dr pat situ lau check kelam-kabot2 je tak thorough.) Dr Azhar said he would have prescribed ear oil (olive oil) or cream instead of the drops, but he asked Abang to continue applying what had been prescribed by the previous Dr. Abang was given Nurofen tablets as well as some other medicine for his phlegm.

His fever went down yesterday during the day (tu pasal Mama tak risau masok JB smalam) but was up again in the evening when I got back from JB. Decided to bring him back to Dr Azhar. This time, Dr Azhar decided to inject on his ear to suck out what seemed to be some thick wax which got stuck in there, which the eardrop failed to have any reactions on it. And alhamdulillah, his hearing felt much better after that. Hoping that he's gonna be alright for school next week after the holidays, insyaAllah.

Jalan2 JB, Makan2 & Get Fat

It was Chinese New Year's eve and we decided to have a siblings' day out, a day sponsored by niece, Mirah hehehe It wasn't full force though coz it was only 3 out of six of us who went. And what better way to have good, cheap food that's nearer from home than going across the causeway.

And so we settled for City Square, a stone's throw away from the CIQ. We started our day only after solat zohor as we were not expecting any traffic congestion. True enough, the bus journey from Kranji MRT & customs clearance was truly a breeze alhamdulillah.

It was way past lunch time and Wak Na's as well as Kakak Yah's stomach were already playing the keroncong beat kekeke so first up was finding a makan place, which wasn't difficult at all. Kakak Yah wanted to have something western, so we settled for Secret Recipe, not a problem, as it was her treat anyway :)

So, it was Thai seafood spaghetti for Wak Na, fish & chips for Wak In, crispy chicken & chips for Kakak Yah and Thai style fried rice for myself. Happy tummies made happy aunties hahaha

Walked abit after lunch to Popular bookstore, Cotton-on, FOS bla bla bla before going to Baskin Robbins for ice-creams. We were so full already tapi nak jugak makan ice-cream so share je la hahah

Went over to J-co for donuts, Subway for sandwiches and Rotiboy Shoppe for buns to bring back home. Before leaving for CIQ, we stopped over for asar at the CIQ musollah. Again, journey back home was a breeze and it was just the right time for maghrib upon reaching home, alhamdulillah. 

q-ing for subway

mother & daughter :)

asar at CIQ musollah

Thank you so much Kakak Yah & Wak Na for the treat and Wak In too for the fabulous siblings' day out. We should do it more often, with the rest the next time, insyaAllah :))

Request

& so they requested for the Beijing pix to be viewable at fb..hmmm ok k no big deal, sharing Allah's greatness, insyaAllah :))

Oh ya just for the record, visited DIdi the second time earlier in the afternoon. Ya Allah, please grant her a speedy recovery, ameen.

Reading Time!

Won't be updating much these days. I'm hooked on the brilliant works of Pak Latip. He's such a good author of the Islamic History. Gonna get more of his books for reads & keeps. A good investment for the kids too, insyaAllah :))))

Pak Latip.
