La Tahzan

Just came back from Mia's dad's tahlil.
Lately, have been hearing a number of losses of loved ones.
:(

"Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."

Al fatihah
to
yatt's mother
kaem's brother
mia's father and uncle.
sherot's mother ( 16/11/09)

be strong,
my dearest friends who have lost their loved ones..
my deepest condolence to you and family.

anyway, something to share,
taken from Izard's note in fb.

Some things are beyond planning.
And life doesn't always turn out as planned.
You don't plan for a broken heart.
You don't plan for an autistic child.
You don't plan for spinsterhood.
You don't plan for a lump in your breast.

You plan to be young forever.
You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful.
You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.

You don't plan to be sad.
You don't plan to be hurt.
You don't plan to be broke.
You don't plan to be betrayed.
You don't plan to be alone in this world.
You plan to be happy.
You don't plan to be shattered .

Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want. But MOST
times, what you want and what you get are two different things.

We, mortals, plan. But so does Allah (SWT) in the heavens. Sometimes, it
is difficult to understand Allah's plans especially when His plans are
not in consonance with ours .

Often, when He sends us crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot
choose what Allah wishes us to carry, but we can carry it with courage
knowing that He will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope
with .

Sometimes, Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, He allows pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, Allah sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, He allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
And sometimes, Allah takes everything away from us so we can learn the
value of everything He gave us

Make plans, but understand that we live by Allah's grace.

Although they plan, Allah also plans. And Allah is the Best of Planners.
[Holy Qur'an 8:30]

Little Body. Extra Care.

It was about 5 pm, time to go home.. when suddenly a young mother came to me with a prescription for her baby. The baby wasnt there. So somehow, it just crossed my mind to ask the weight of the baby. Sadly, she doesnt know. But my gut tells me something is wrong with the Rx, though the dose looks fine. ( for normal children) But to my suprise, when i asked her to bring in the baby and i actually got to hold her, she was very petite and light too. . And it brought my attention to the doses prescribed which is obvious more than the double of requirement!! O my god, if i have had dispensed the three medications, without checking the weight, only God knows what will happen to the poor baby. ..

some people (very few, in fact) like to simply give medicine to small children without weighing the body first.

i know, maybe with experiences, you know at what age, what dose is suitable..but not all the time

BUT, with KIDS! personally, i think, its a must to weigh a child! The dose depends on it.

And this is what happen when you simply scribble and prescribe meds without proper calculation.

--> The pharmacist detects something is wrong with the dose, recalculate dose based on the correct weight, and chase that 'person' down and made him/her write another script.

But what if, there were too many people and we missed out the error..

What will happen to the little children?
-getting too much drugs for the body to handle.. (nauzubillah) it could lead to death!
-getting very low dose, it wont cure and could lead to other worse thing. (nauzubillah)

So to all mothers and mothers-to-be out there, make sure ALWAYS know the weight of your children. ALL medications' dose depends on it.

Cold Cook

Ok.
Maybe i am not a great cook. I cook for necessity. not pleasure
Hence, explained my skills of cooking in Brisbane.

I wouldn't survive financially if i were not to cook back there.
I practically do the cooking everyday. tried bits of this and that.
But when it comes to friends' potluck, i'd bring something from the Coles or Woolies :)
But i love cooking for my loved ones. .if they don't mind 'tasting' and 'criticizing' my dishes.

So now, when im home in Malaysia, with so much choices and affordable eat-outs or take-aways.
My cooking skills has going down frantically.

Therefore, i need to brush up my skills again before January. ( pity mr., but i will do my best)
So i went to do some groceries in cold storage,after work just now to cook dinner.

and to my SHOCK,

and the total is

RM 49.80!!
(including the fruits of course, and not even 10 items!! )

With this amount i could tapau nasi bungkus for 5 days!
With this amount of money, back in Aussie ( if using AUD) my groceries last for at least 3weeks!!

But here in KL., it lasts for a day. or two maybe. ( argh, things are so expensive in Msia!)

and i miss buying this yogurt. In Aussie. it only cost me , well. tak sampai AUD$4.
Here, as you can see i tub = RM 19.99!
crazy! even after u convert pun, it shouldn't be that expensive!


now you tell me, should i cook?

ps. if mr is reading this, dont worry. i will. :)

25 on 25th

As far as i remember, i have always been surprised by my lovely friends on my birthday night when the clock strikes midnight.

my school years : in boarding school, what more can you say.. love my highschool girlfriends much!
my college years : being thrown into pool by college friends, sweet surprise by bestfriend
my uni years : being abroad in Aussie, surprises by good friends every year..kinda expected, but still a surprise

But this year, its different.

At midnight , a surprise by my much beloved family..
for the first time after like what.. more than 10 years..
(kecik2 dulu tak kire laa :) )

adding to
the fact that these little nieces could stay awake in cinema and after, until midnight.
the fact that Mr. came all the way from the southern state.
(Lana was making a wish for me!)

Happy A Quarter of Century to me.

and to everyone for the wishes and everything..

love you people.
