.:: Missing In Action ::.
Wow! A month I've not blogged & yes many things happened! To summarize, here's what I was up to while missing in action :-~Promotion~
Unexpectedly got promoted! Alhamdulillah syukur but this time it was really something I didn't expect & hoped for. I was planning to happily 'hentak kaki' till I retire... But darn! Promotion = More responsibilities = More work = Some tongues wagged! Yep... tongues were wagging coz probably some of the reasons I could brainstormed was, my gender, my age, my race & probably some wondered if I deserve this new post. Well... what can I say? Its not something I wanted but since I'm entrusted to take up this post, I'll just have to prove my worth. Period!
~Umrah~
Nah, not me who went umrah recently but it was my Papa & brother. They went for 2 weeks and during Papa's absence, been busy visiting Mama almost daily. She had Ilyas & my Bibik to accompany her... So had my dinner quite frequently at parents' crib. At times, bro would post photos of his spiritual visit to the holy land. Browsing through his photos, made me miss Mecca & Madinah. Insya Allah , one day I'll return to the holy land.
~Balik Kampong~
After their return from Umrah, my family had a short getaway. We didn't hesitate much to return back to our self proclaimed kampong, Kuantan. Together with Zul's family, we tried staying at the new hotel, The Zenith Hotel. Nice hotel & cool ambience. There's just something about Kuantan which I can't much explain. Probably, the food, the people, the ambience and the route along the coastal line before Pekan all roll into one to make us & Zul's family dare to self proclaimed it as our Kampong!
~Sick & Hospitalised~
For almost 3 weeks I've been under the weathers. Having flu and a nasty cough which refuse to go away. Earlier this evening, I've gone to the doctor again to get my 3rd round of medications. Hopefully this time it will works. Seperately, when we were having our short break at Kuantan, we were informed that Mama was hospitalised as her feet were swollen and she was slightly breatheless. She's yet to be discharged and its already 11 days she's recuperating at TTSH. Daily visits were made but I get quite frustrated with the strict visiting hours and the quota of visitors. Alhamdulillah, she's made progress and getting better. My fingers are crossed and hoping that she'll be discharged latest by next week.
~Demise~
On the same day we received news that Mama was warded, her younger brother, Ayah Nawi was also admitted at NUH. He has been battling with nose cancer for the past 4 years or so. However, Allah loves him more than any of us and he passed away peacefully on the evening of 23 Jun 2011. His burial was made on the following day and last minute arrangements were made to ensure Mama was granted with home leave to pay her last respect to her brother. Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly as planned. Ayah, you are greatly missed by all of us. Al-fateha...
~Birthday~
28th of June, somebody turned older... I hope you've turned wiser too , as you get older...although the cheeky & crazy part still existed. As usual, I've got no lavish gifts to lure you like the rest of your 'fan club'... Just a lil prayer, wishing you a lifetime of bliss...
Its already coming to end of June and looking back, it was a hectic month for me... Hopefully, I'm able to get back on track soon...
Miss blogging and having to blog all these events in this post, I feel much relieved.... Phew!
