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.

Teenage (Minah Kental) Years...

To another friend of mine, Idah Yusnitah, thank you for your sms. Sorry for not replying, I am a lil bit old school, never reply any sms coz I take 10 mins just to type 1 sentence. Hope you understand eh.

Ok here are some pictures of me and some of our friends. I am not trying to ridicule anybody here so please do not be so sensitive. As you know I had ridiculed myself in the previous entry and here are more of myself to be ridiculed. My kids are already laughing tergolek-golek ok. They said.."Mummy obit seyy"..(bertuah punya anak).

Starting with this group picture

This pic was taken during my 15th Birthday. Had a hell of a good time when your parents were not at home. Well nothing kinky happened, naaah..we were just a bunch of nerds. Don't you think so guys? Im sorry but I cant remember the names of those two guys. Anyone can remember what is their name?

Asri : He was one of our junior. Why was he there? Hehe..He was a lil bit head-over-heels over me. I knew everybody were gossiping about me dating him, a younger guys but who cares!..Org pun tak kisah right coz he tak hensem sgt punnn..

Hishal : Did you notice that he and erma sit side by side? They were one great enemies. Erma ever threw his bag out of the window coz he just lovesss to irritates her. He was your secret admirer agaknyer Erma?

Nonie : She is the MC queen and the Sleeping Queen. Appeared only 3 days in a week. Even if she appeared, she would be sleeping through out the day. Pssst..remember her love bites? A string of them....fuyoooohhh..tak boleh tahan woooo..

Ok here are the Golden Girls..cheehhh. Siti, the popular girl in school, same goes to Kartina, they were the hottest girls back then. Erma, sorry to post this pic, but you look slim in here. Junainie, one quite girl in class, Me..ermm..the kecoh and clumsy but still try to act cool and then Afiza, Junainie's partner. Suara both of them mcm semut ok. Sooo soft..

Ok the reason why I post this picture is because, this is the only pic where JOHAN is in it. Don't you all missed him? I missed his nonsense ok.

Here is Azrul and Marlina (Burung). Sorry Marlina but that was your nickname back then. Originated from your hair yg nak buat Ding Dong tapi tak jadi and turned out to be like burung merak jambul. Azrul, was one of the hottest guy in school. Admired him in silence but once i got to know him for few months..sorry Azrul, kau nie betul2 mat kental buah lenchee ar. Tak boleh angkat ar gua! Mat metal kapak giller ar lu!

Me and Kartina.

Azrul and Erma.

Me and my forever Best-friend. Rambut pun sama style ok!

Ok its getting late. Time for my bedtime. Will be back to post more pictures tomorrow. See ya!

Something About Me

I guess all of you would know me when the name "Kasma" was being mentioned. I go by that name among my schoolmates. Changed to "Wati" (nama minah glamour) when I stepped into my working life coz as you know all these Cina doesn't know how to pronounce my name properly therefore Wati would be easier. My name could turned out to be in so many versions ok... Kuama lah, Kaswati lah and the worst was Kasmati!! Can you imagine that. Once when I was in Sec 2, Mdm Loh Ai, my form teacher called me.."KASMATI! PLEASE READ THE 2ND PARAGRAPH". Everybody laughed. Since then, my name has become the joke of the town. Whatever it is, this name has made me gone through more than a quarter of my life.

Oklah, as promised, Ive dug out some retro pics of mine. Ive got some of yours too. So..tunggggguuuuuuu. Therefore before I could laugh at other's pic, to be fair..I let all of you ketawa terbahak-bahak and tergolek-golek with my pics. Jgn sampai jatuh kerusi sudah. Ok I will start with my baby pics. It may not be so clear as I dont have a scanner and what I did was captured the pictures with my digital cam. Well Enjoy!!

Su's Surprise Email

I was awakened by an email received on last Friday while i was buried with the tonnes of work in the office. As usual, I would ignore those SPAM emails sent by any unknown sender. However at that moment it was exceptional, the subject caught my attention. "Former Corporation Primary School?" I read her brief message. She was looking for her former schoolmates and remembered she had a classmate name Kasmawati and therefore Googled my name. My name appeared in my Company's Website and she signed off with the name Su-Ling.

Tried very hard to remember but couldn't find anybody by the name of Su-Ling in my brain database. Tried again to retrieved but FAILED. Emailed her back with mixed feelings. Afraid she could be one of those impostors. Told her that she was right, I was from the school she mentioned but never had any classmate by the name of Su-Ling. In few minutes she replied feeling so ecstatic that i was her classmates. Described me as a petite girl with wavy hair (ooh yeah with dark skin looking so anak keling..hehe). Then she mentioned her name was Suriyati Samat. Now i remembered her. One quiet petite, chinese looking girl sitting in front of the teacher's desk.

I felt so touched that she could still remember my name. Well, Kasmawati sounds very 60's but its quite unique. Not many has that name. Therefore its easy to remember i guess. Since then we exchange emails updating each other about our lives.

This has inspired me to create a blog to get in touch with my former classmate. We had spent years together. To get together physically may be quite difficult due to some commitments so how about getting together through blogging? Hope i could get a positive response from everybody. Planning to create a database for collating contacts and particulars of everybody. Will post it up once it is ready. For now, i am waiting for your reply. You can reply me at the comment section in this blog or through my email address at watieabdullah@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon!
