Where Are We Now?

 How many times do you listen to a song till you get bored with it? The title of this post is inspired by a song I just heard on the radio yesterday which has made me return to it 4 times so far in the span of two days ;)

So where are you now? What's been going on in your life? Has it been as eventful as mine? Did you manage to accomplish anything great? Or has life been pulling you in all directions and you're still trying to catch your breath?

If you're in Malaysia like me we're probably in the same boat. It's another PKP -  a lockdown - working from home - learning from home mode..

I'd like to believe since we've been here before we're less stumped on how to handle it. Though it is even scarier now with the possibility of being infected with Covid 19 even higher, I'd like to believe we are all trying to remain positive. Hoping to be vaccinated soon, praying this will end. For good.

On the brighter side, I'm proud to say I've added on to the list of books I've finished. I've lost more kilos and hope to lose more. I'm almost `getting there' with being in a new workplace. I've been doing some part time jobs, editing, writing and marking. Life's been busy and good, all praises to Allah.

But I miss my parents and siblings who I've not seen in months. I miss my students who told me they were going to write to me but never did. I miss hanging out with friends and travelling with my family enjoying a trip outdoors without having to wear a mask.

I miss writing. My creative juices seem to have run out since I last completed the 4th novel, last November. It's June now and I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING CREATIVE. Personally, this is disappointing.

So I will end this post with me hoping that the next time I write, I have already written at least one chapter.. Pray for me! ;)

Take care, stay safe!

XOXO

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.
