Flu Strikes Back

I'm half dead. I'm dizzy, it seems like things around me are playing a merry-go-round. Stop it! I hate merry-go-rounds.
My nose is stuck with those sticky, thick phlegm that refuse to come out. I tried to get it out from the nose, it doesnt work. Feels like taking a mini vacuum and put it on my nostrils so that it could suck whatever that is making me hard to breathe.
My throat is burning. Hate it! I was imagining, those virus must be having a sort of barbecue in my throat. Happy eh??
This is what I used to imagine whenever im sick. Those sticky, thick phlegm, I would imagine, that it is some sort of slimy sticky green thing that sticks to your throat or nose and it moves slowly like a snail. And it sticks on really hard and only a vacuum could do the job.
Ok stop it Nad!! Me and my imagination. Now its time to work. I dont know how long I could survive with this state of condition. I'll try. If not, it would be half day or half dead for me.

Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet



I had this urged to look for a book last Saturday. It was recommended to me by a good friend as well as a confidante to me. "Dont Be Sad" written by Dr Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni. While I was looking for this book, I came across another book, "Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet". The moment I laid my big bum on the seat of my hub's car, I started reading it and still reading it a moment ago. I am so hook to it.

It is not only about the Medicine of all ailments but also the Medicine of the hearts and minds. Food for thought I would say. It has taught me a lil bit of Soul Searching in myself. Recently I let myself being bogged down with work stress, things that happened around me, things that I let it happened to me. I let myself to be in stress, grief, sadness and anguish. Since I read this book, it lifted up my inner self, motivates me and brings me back to where I belong. Came across a quote which i find it useful about grief;

"Grief brings comfort to the heart of the enemy, grief to the friends, anger to the Lord, joy to the devil, destruction to the reward and weakness to the heart"

and this quote I read it again and again ;

"If one cannot attain his loved object because of a legal barrier that the religion erected, he should convince himself that acquiring his pasion is not feasible because Allah did not allow it to happen. He should know that for his safety he should abandon such a matter and be certain that it is virtually impossilbe that he will ever attain it"
Thanks you to you whom had recommended the book to me. Though I have not read it, its because of that book that I found this book. I would say both book would give me a different perceptions towards life. I would cherish every people that surrounds me, every moment that is given to me. Will not let grief, sadness and anguish be with me. Don't be sad. Insya'Allah. Will try to be a stronger and better person. I know I could do it. Been there, Done that therefore slowly I am picking up the bits and pieces of life that I had stumbled upon.

Goodbye Dear Students


Im truthfully sorry if anyone of you thought that I have abandoned this blog. No..im not!! I have been very busy with my work. Tonnes of work needed to be cleared everyday. My brain needed an extra boost to help me remembering all those details that I need to remember. The exams are over. Im relieved. No, not me who's taking the exam neither is my daughter. It's my students. No, im not a teacher, I'm so-called the administrator of the school. This is their third trimester examination and would be the last one before their graduation.


It has been nearly 8 months. Time flies really fast. They will be leaving soon. This is the time when you have to let go the friendship that you have made for the past months. The time when you are more than friends, when you are more comfortable with each other than anybody else. They are like my 100 little childrens that I have cared and love for. And now they will be going off soon. Every good things, every joyous moments will have its endings. Thank you for those who has given me some words of appreciations, gifts and cakes. Thank you so much. Im so touched.
