Reading issue....again

My good friends Ja and Shera are catching up well with their readings.....
Knowing the fact that they made it a point to read whenever possible makes me wonder if I could do the same......
I'm still searching high and low for the luxury to sit back and read peacefully....I tried and I tried so hard....but the moment I started to sit down on the sofa and opened the book, my dear heroes would come and start knocking on the cover of the book and asking too many questions on what I was doing, what I was reading, why I was reading, etc, etc. I realised that I spent more time in answering their questions than reading the book!!!
At last, I ended up putting the book away and joined them instead.....there I went, the book was left untouched again......
Gosh!!! I was thinking for possibilities of going away for a few days to just catch up on reading but that would be a bit cruel and unfair to my little ones......sigh...
I guess I just have to be a bit more patient until my children understand the value of reading and instead of bugging me, they would join me later....perhaps...

Dikny,
Dont be so hard on yourself. I am blessed that my girls find the telly more entertaining than their grumpy mom with a book in hand. I now carry a big handbag, u know. It has my Readers Digest and storybooks, so I can read at the bank, clinic, even a stop at the traffic light (dangerous though). I also end up sleeping late at wee hours to finish up, when the girls are soundly asleep. Still it takes me almost a week to 'khatam' a book. Take it easy dear....

Hi Liza, read your previous posting of your o/seas visitors. Very impressed. It is always interesting to meet peoples from other countries who come to see, to learn and to question...you feel good later.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot.

You have a nice day, Lee.

Shera,
Thanx for the motivation.....I know I can always count on TESLians...hihi


U.Lee,
It is indeed interesting to be able to meet with people from different countries...this happens almost every month at my workplace, so you can just imagine the kind of workload that I have to endure, but I'm not complaining, it makes me a better person actually....
Being one of my favourite hobbies, reading has such a big impact on me and that is why I take it too seriously I guess....
You have a nice day too....

8 Years Already...

Yup, it's our 8th anniversary. So glad that we've made it this far....there have been ups and downs no doubt. Last year was the most challenging and yet, we've braved through it successfully, Alhamdulillah... Everything that happened had happened for a reason, I was sure of that. I've become more tolerant and more understanding now. I wish to be tougher and stronger in facing the many more years to come with my better half, there would definitely be more challenging encounters in the months and years ahead. But, heck, I'm going to face it all no matter what, InsyaAllah. To my hubby, Congratulations darling, we've come a long way and I love you. To my little heroes, Papa and Mama would always be together for you and be there whenever you need us. Love you all.

Cyst

For the past three days I was suffering from a bad pain somewhere in between my cervix and bikini line. Whenever I walked, the pain throbbed and at times, I had to topple while walking. At the office yesterday morning, the pain was getting worse, and I decided to go and see my gynae. I took the time off from office and I thought since the doctor was an extremely busy gynae, it's better if I gave the clinic a call first. When I called, the nurse mentioned that there were way too many patients waiting and she couldn't slot me in. Alright then, I guess I'd have to make do with another doctor who was not a specialist at a different clinic. My hubby waited for me and we went to the clinic together. I described my pain to her and she asked me to lie down for an ultrasound scanning. She kept on pressing the device on my over-bloated tummy (after 3 kids, what do you expect? hihi) trying to locate if there's anything weird inside... She was trying hard to see and I was trying ha...

'Gelora Di Hati Sarah'

Last night was the first episode of a Malay drama entitled 'Gelora Di Hati Sarah' on RTM1. The main casts were Fauziah Latiff, Rosyam Nor, Datuk Rahim Razali, Aida Rahim and Liza Othman. I came across a write-up on this drama in one of the local newspapers the day before and what caught my interest to watch it was of course Fauziah Latiff... Fauziah Latiff is a singer and although I might not be her biggest fan but I kinda grew up listening to her songs since I was in primary school. Her songs are mostly pop ballads and amongst my favourites are Teratai Layu Di Tasik Madu, Setia Ku Korbankan, Enggan and many others. Those were the times when I was in melancholic mood and these songs became my comfort... I also watched her in theatre - Rubiah - few years back where she acted as the lead role in the play. Not bad at all and I could still remember vividly the act where she had to recite the Quran and her voice was so soft and sweet. Ok, Fauziah Latiff might not known as a star in ...
