The Graduation Day

Saturday, 8th of November 2008, the graduation day of my daughter...I'm so upset coz i was not there to see her wearing her Graduation robe and received the certificate from her teacher. As my hubby told me, Nasuha was so excited and always keep mentioned that she's wearing a robe and graduated just like Ummi. Aha! She still can remember my graduation day 2 years ago, i guess..
I'm really proud of her...How pretty she is in that robe...

Her cheerful face...Missed you dear...


And my boy received his award too...He was awarded as Best student in his class...So proud of him...My clever boy..

Hakim and his award...He just 4 years old...Love you so much..
I'm so grateful and thanks to Allah for His blessed and the gifts, my precious Nasuha and Hakim.. Both of you are my joy and pride!!!

Not Feeling Well...


I'm not feeling well...Yesterday after lunch, I got stomach pain..But I just ignored it since i need to prepare samples to run on LCT-MS...But after an hour it became more painful so i decided to take 2 panadols and hope the pain will relieve..
Around half past 4 pm, the pain really dreadful so i decided to take a minute rest..But the pain getting worst..I can't even walked!!..Goh (my labmate) called for some helped..Paul and Heather tried to call for a taxi to send me to hospital..Actually i just want to have some rest at home..Hazel suggested to me that i should go to hospital for treatment since i'll be alone at home and no one there to take care of me if the pain getting worst..

Waiting for a taxi takes an ages because of traffic conjuction..so Hazel, Rob and I decided to walk to the Hospital nearby..It takes about 10 min walking distance..

OMG! Why this happen to me at this time...

We reached hospital, safe and sound but with dreadful pain in my stomach...

Only nurses on duty..in UK the system is a bit different compared to Malaysia..You only can see a doctor if you have an appointment if recommended by nurse..

Two nurses on duty tried to figure out what was the problem with my stomach..then, based on the symptoms they diagnosed me that i'm having cystitis...

Then three of us tried to look around for pharmacy..Opps!!We went to the wrong pharmacy...I've no idea why this hospital should have two pharmacies..

Rob walked me home..Thanks to him...After taking the medicine i'm really felt so sleepy and tired..It such a very long day for me..

Under treatment for 2 days..can't drink any coffee or tea..only plain water and milk..and must keep warm enought..

My labmates (Phom,Jia and Goh) came and visit me today..Really nice of them..and they told me that all peoples in lab really concerned about my health..thanks a lot..hope getting better tomorow and ready to be busy at work...chaiyok2...

Paku di Dinding


Artikel ini adalah e-mail dari seorang sahabat..buat renungan bersama..


PAKU Di Dinding Hatimu…

Ada seorang pemuda yang sangat pemarah. Dia tidak dapat mengawal kemarahannya walaupun ianya hanya satu masalah kecil sahaja.


Pada suatu hari, bapanya telah menghadiahkannya dengan seguni paku. "Untuk apakah paku-paku ini ayah?" tanya pemuda tersebut.

"Setiap kali kamu marah, kamu pakulah tembok batu di hadapan rumah kita ini, bagi melepaskan kemarahan mu" jawab ayahnya.

Pada hari yang Pertama sahaja, pemuda itu telah memaku sebanyak 37 batang paku pada tembok batu tersebut.

Selepas beberapa minggu, setelah dia dapat mengurangkan kemarahannya, jumlah paku yang digunakan juga berkurangan.

Dia mendapati, adalah lebih mudah mengawal kemarahannya dari memukul paku menembusi tembok batu tersebut.

Akhirnya tibalah pada suatu hari, dimana pemuda tersebut tidak marah, walau sekali pun.

Dia pun memberitahu ayahnya mengenai perkara tersebut dengan gembira.

Bapanya mengucapkan tahniah dan menyuruh dia mencabut kembali paku itu satu persatu, pada setiap hari yang ia lalui tanpa kemarahan.

Hari berganti hari, dan akhirnya dia berjaya mencabut kesemua paku-paku tersebut.

Pemuda tersebut lantas memberitahu perkara tersebutkepada bapanya dengan bangganya. Bapanya lantas memimpin tangannya ke tembok tersebut dan berkata "Kau telah melakukannya dengan baik, anakku, tetapi lihatlah kesan lubang-lubang di tembok batu tersebut, tembok itu TIDAK akan kelihatan sama lagi seperti sebelumnya.

Bila kau menyatakan sesuatu atau melakukan sesuatu ketika marah, ianya akan meninggalkan kesan parut dan luka, sama seperti ini.

Kau boleh menikam seseorang dengan pisau dan membunuhnya. Tetapi ingatlah, tak kesah berapa kali kau memohon maaf dan menyesal atas perbuatam mu, namun lukanya masih tetap ada.

Luka di hati adalah lebih pedih dari luka fizikal.

Sahabat adalah permata yang sukar dicari. Mereka membuatkan kamu ketawa dan menggalakan muka arah kejayaan.

Sahabat juga adalah seorang pendengar, berkongsi suka dan duka dan sentiasa membuka hatinya kepada kita.



Buat sahabatku,
"Terima kasih kerana menjadi sahabat saya. Berkongsi cerita gembira dan duka. Maafkan saya sekiranya saya pernah meninggalkan kesan berlubang di dinding hati anda selama saya menjadi sahabat anda."


Ikhlas dariku- AIN

Selamat Jalan Azzahra



1 pagi 4 November 2008,


Aku dikejutkan dengan berita kehilangan satu-satunya anak buahku yang baru berusia 2 bulan..Azzahra telah dimasukkan ke ICU selama seminggu dan disahkan menderita jangkitan paru-paru.


Hanya Allah sahaja yang tahu hatiku ketika ini, berada jauh di perantauan, memustahilkan aku untuk pulang menatap wajah dan mencium dahinya buat kali terakhir...Hanya doa dan surah Yassin dapatku hadiahkan dari jauh...Oh Tuhan alangkah hebatnya ujian Mu ini...


Lahirmu pada 1 Ramadhan lalu cukup menggembirakan kami...Pergimu kini kami tangisi...


Selamat Jalan Azzahra Ramadani Binti Syahrum Mauludin...Allah lebih menyayangimu..Pemergianmu kami redha kerana kami tahu Allah telah menjemputmu untuk berada di sisiNya sebagai penghias syurga.


Cukuplah kesakitan yang dikau tanggung..Cukuplah kesedihan melihat kau derita...

Doa kami sentiasa bersamamu..


Ya Allah, terima kasih kerana meminjamkan Azzahra untuk kami sekeluarga walaupun hanya dapat bersamanya seketika cuma..


Al-Fatihah buat mu Azzahra Ramadani ( 1 September 2008- 4 November 2008)....
