Of Heart and Mind

My hairdresser, Ira, was killed in an accident yesterday morning on her way to the salon. She was on her motorbike when she got hit by a lorry from the back. She was thrown away a few feet from her bike and died instantly. She suffered some internal injuries and her body was sent to her parents in Terengganu yesterday. I was devastated when the owner of the beauty salon told me. She was a kind person and knew all her customers well. I don't think I'll ever find someone as understanding as her.... My heart goes out to her family. May she rests in peace.... Al-Fatihah.

To my friend (you-know-who).... hope the chat that we had this morning managed to bring at least a smile to your face... As I said, whenever you have doubts, search for the answer in your deepest heart... This poem is for you! Cheers...... Childhood Friends As childhood friends We grew up together Swearing to be friends forever and ever Sometimes we would argue and fight Other times we would laugh and stay up all night We went from playing with games and toys To talking and dreaming about different boys My thoughts and feelings, to you I would confide Never having anything to hide Friends we do remain, Things changing and things staying the same. To each other we still listen and share About each other, we will always care.... (from netpoetsociety)

Naqeeb is recovering, as of this morning. Yesterday, his temperature was not stable yet and he was still coughing. When I reached home around 8pm last night, he was lying in front of the TV watching his favorite cartoon – SpongeBob Square Pants and he looked so weak. So I decided to take him to the clinic to have another round of check. The doctor conducted a thorough check on him and told me that his lung was still quite full. He had to take another shot of nebulizer…. Poor Naqeeb... and he was so calm during the treatment and managed to throw a smile when I took this pic! We reached home at about 10.30 pm and he dozed off immediately after eating his fries (he made me drove all the way to Sect 3 Drive Thru McD to get just a small pack of fries…). This morning when I left for work, he looked okay. Hopefully he will feel better today as we are flying off to Jakarta tomorrow morning for a few days…. Mother’s Day celebration la konon nya tu…. Hehehe Till then, you all have a great long

*Sigh!!!!!!!!!* Have been wanting to update this blog but ended up not doing it…. On Monday, Naqeeb was down with bronchitis and athma, so yesterday morning was quite a chaos. He was barely asleep the night before and I was already at the SJMC ER at 7.30am. Naqeeb’s temperature was running high and he was coughing / whizzing quite badly. While waiting for the doctor, he threw up on the floor and the nurses were running around trying to get some towels for him and a small container, just in case if he throws up again. After the doctor attended to him, he was given a shot of nebulizer to calm his breathing and it was already 9.30am when we left the hospital. I took him home and he fell asleep instantly. I reached my office around 10.30am feeling so exhausted. I’m not sure what caused the attack is this time but I’m definitely sure it is not caused by his activities at home. We had a short trip to KL Aquaria on Sunday and last Saturday was his Sports Day…. (and this is like a week ago). E
