66 days later....

A little over two months have gone by since I last wrote. Covid-19 cases have gone up and down seeing more restrictions being made and eventually some being loosened since a few days ago. People's lives are certainly not the same as before but at least now things seem to be looking up.. 

Personally, I'm no longer afraid to go and shop at the supermarket and most importantly, work at the office will commence pretty soon next week (nooooooo!!!....), so, some normalcy is returning even if the mask is still gonna cover most of my face and sanitizing my hands will become more frequent now that I'm gonna be out and about.

I suppose to everyone the past few months have been in its own way a challenge. Be it to simply battle the need for communication, or even to not binge eat or drama-binge.  For some lucky ones it has been a time to get more closer to their family, partners, God and even their own selves. It has taught them to appreciate the things they'd normally overlook on a daily basis. To realize that they don't need much to get by if they had to be stuck for days at home. Or should I say months!

A blessing. That's what part of this MCO, RMCO, etc has been. And not appreciating what has gone by in the past few months would be a shame. Not learning from the experience and taking away lessons from the struggles we faced or even those faced by others would be just a shame. Because we should. Appreciate. Learn. 

I know there are still challenges or even limitations for some. But as we start putting our lives back in its place let us not forget what we went through and what it taught us. Let us try to uphold the person we became while we were in "lockdown" - the better version that we were able to become - and strive to remain positive, despite the circumstances. 

Let us start our chapter again with renewed spirit!

-Day 87- as I psyche myself up.. ;)

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..

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.

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.
