tears and goodbyes..

Have had to say a few goodbyes lately and in the usual fashion of saying a goodbye, tears accompanied it too..
Wonder why people start crying seeing other people cry? Always happens to me..
And why is it that people mean more to you when you know they're leaving?..
It's as if you suddenly realise what they meant to you all this while.
Sometimes there's also that feeling of regret that you didn't really take the time to get to know them and now that they're gone there's no chance of that anymore..

It also takes guts to leave a place you consider your comfort zone and to move to more `greener pastures'.. Change is inevitable and one must be brave to move on and take up new challenges. That's what'll make your life more interesting right?..

I suppose what we leave behind is not all about what we did but also how we made other people feel. And that will be remembered most.

a note before midnight

It's the end of June.. soon it will be July - my favourite month ;) Significant things are happening in July. Results. Decisions to be made. New students, new class, new people to break my heart.. Anyway, it didn't work. My time off. Remind me not to have any time off from the world wide web cuz it'll never work. Can't be separated. Today was not a good day. I need to get my eyes checked cuz my lack of power which I never knew, is giving me terrible headaches and I couldn't see the writing on the mahjong papers my students presented today :( and my power is already 600!! :(( Ok.. gotta go battle with my cat and shove a pill down her throat. Please cooperate. If you're interested: sher127.tumblr.com goodnight readers of my blog..

under the weather

I think I'm one of those people who rarely get sick, praise be to Allah for that. Yet when I do fall sick, it happens usually during the weekends or a long holiday like right now. Mind over matter. That's what I tell myself when I refuse to give in to my `helpless' condition.. If not I'd not be able to get things done. Yet of course our body needs to rest. Needs to heal. So rest we must.. and with that, I bid farewell for a while until I get back to my normal self. Abdullah r.a berkata, Rasulullah bersabda: “ tidak ada seorang muslim yang ditimpa cubaan berupa sakit dan sebagainya melainkan dihapuskan Allah taala dosa-dosanya seperti pohon kayu menggugurkan daunnya.” God willing.

a sight for sore eyes

Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.
