Wordless Wednesday

Iman Alexandria Bt. Muhamad Izwan

15 months young

Dear baby, please don't grow up so fast!

Love much, Ibu.

Week 20

It is going to be the most tiring, hectic and penat nak muntah week for me. From work to back-to-back meetings to classes, Masyaallah!

I need something to cheer me up hence the 2 videos below. I hope it helps to cheer everyone too.

This kid is amazing! A-MAH-ZING!!!

Have a nice week peeps

Save Maryam

I came across this video quite some time ago but didn't pay much attention to what it was saying. Apparently, there are a lot of Muslim girls now in Indonesia are converting to Christian. It is sad to know that Muslim girls in Indonesia are facing such problem and it's even worst when we as a Muslim are not doing anything about it or unable to help them.

 

Masyaallah mintak simpang. Sesungguhnya, Iman itu lah yang bisa membantu membina kekuatan diri terhadap agama. 

Sama-samalah kita berdoa agar mereka sentiasa berada di dalam Iman dan dilindungi oleh Allah SWT. 

Post General Election

As well-informed, we had our GE last Sunday (5th May) and I must say that it was the ugliest-most-interesting general election I have even seen. Of course, the results were as expected (as per my prediction). Some were happy while some were not. And as for me, since I have already predicted the results and it turned out to be as per my prediction, I received it with an open arm. 

Apparently, not to some.

According to most analysis which was done prior to the results, it shows that most Chinese were turning into the Opposition Party instead of the rulling Barisan Nasional and so did the urban voters. Although the full results shown that BN won the GE but the truth is, they actually lost a lot of seats especially at the urban areas. And if it wasn't because of Sabah & Sarawak, they would probably have went down the drain.

You do the math.

Well, I don't actually care of how many seats they have lost but instead of the things that they said post to the general election.

As you can see from today's Utusan headline, it shows that the Chinese has not been "grateful" and has turned their back on the current government hence, the inappropriate headline. They have again played the racial sentiments hoping for Malaysians to hate each other.

I was so angry. I'm so ashamed to be called as Melayu. Even in Islam, we are taught to respect each other regardless of their beliefs and religious. We were not supposed to hate each other. I can't believe that this is actually happening here in my country. Why can't we live harmoniously and be a better nation? Why must we create hatred among other races. We are living under the same roof by the name of Malaysia. And after 56 years of independence, we are still fighting over Melayu, Cina & India. This is unbelievable.

We have all the first class facilities but sadly our mentality is still down at the 3rd world level.

A mother's dilemma

Iman has been coughing non-stop for the past couple of days. It started with a very mild coughing and you know lah kids, she likes to imitate her grandma coughing and so, the coughing became worst because she has been pushing herself to cough sampai merah muka dibuatnya. Normally, I'll give her the powder-I-don't-know-the-name-of-the-medicine to reduce the coughing and eventually to stop it but somehow it doesn't work this time. What's worst when the flu started to make its appearance. Aduh, meleleh-leleh hingus anak aku. 

I don't normally go to see the doctor whenever Iman is down with sickness. I just got it from the pharmacy and Alhamdulillah, so far it works for Iman but this time, none of the pharmacy's medicines were working. It's worsen when she started vomiting every time she coughs. Poor baby! 

I had to rush her to the hospital yesterday due to the vomiting and it got me thinking.

Iman has been sick on and off for quite some time now and I feel that I have not been a good mother in taking care of her. I've been neglecting my responsibility as a mother and I have not paying my attention to my daughter. It saddens me to know that this little girl of mine is not getting enough love and attention from her mother.

Should I quit my job and be a stay-home-mom instead? I really wish I could. And with this Masters that I'm currently on doesn't help at all. 

I used to tell myself that it's ok to bersusah sekarang for a better future but looking at Iman's condition, I don't see the point of doing it anymore. It's not that Iman is having a serious sickness, Masyaallah mintak simpang but I can't help myself but to feel guilty every time she's down with flu or fever. It breaks my heart each and every time. Tak sampai hati nak tengok!

To be honest, I don't think I have the strength to fight anymore. I feel very weak - mentally, physically and emotionally weak. 

Being a working mom at the very young age is very tough. It's even tougher when you feel that you are not delivering enough for your family. I don't know. I feel very demotivated right now and it effects my family. Poor baby Iman.

May

Oh May, please be nice to me. We are just on the 2nd day of May and yet my calendar is already full with activities.

This is just the 2nd half page of my calendar. You haven't seen the 1st half. Lagi pengsan. What's worst is that it is not finalized yet! There are more to come. MORE TO COME!!

I'm so looking forward for my long break in September. Still a long way to go though and since my off days are not that many, kenalah berjimat cermat untuk hari raya, my exams and emergencies tambah-tambah when you have a small growing up baby at home - "Emergency Leave" sangatlah diperlukan.

Anyways, we have passed 4 months of 2013. How time flies! What have you achieved so far? Mine - I feel like dropping most of it and be a stay-at-home-mom instead. It has been pretty much hectic with a capital H for me so far but it's ok, everyday is a challenge.

Have a wonderful May everyone!
