Try it, you might love it ;)

I think it's nice to break away from the norm once in a while like rearranging your furniture or eating something different than what you normally would in the morning. My mum is one of them who loves to do the former and it's always refreshing when we come visiting to see something different about where the couch is sitting. Sometimes I do it in class too - when it's appropriate - and try putting a different take on how I teach something. The results are usually rewarding :) 
But there are things I don't want to change. Like the shoes I'm wearing - I wear the same one for work and for days when I'm not working. The playlist I have in my phone - I can listen to literally the same songs over and over everyday. (But I do add on new songs I happen to like). I choose the same colours when I buy clothes and shawls and to choose something different would just be wrong. (drama much?) And when I order out I also usually order the same thing so my dishes are predictable. Not so adventurous huh?
I suppose there's no wrong or right way to do things sometimes but one should be willing to be more open to other possibilities and ways, right? Who knows what you could be missing out if you don't try. So let's be bold and try to add something different when the occasion arises. Let's surprise ourselves. Life is too short to live mundanely ;)


PS/ I had a point to this thing I've written but because I wrote it halfway and left it as a draft for 2 weeks I forgot what it was!

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.
