a cold morning to begin... Alhamdulillah.

after completing my morning duty, i decided to go for a walk. little did i realized, i walked 6 kilometres, 3 up and 3 down. i arrived at home-stay just in time to watch Hindi movie "Delhi 6" i had missed watching this movie couple of time before... and all i can say it was a wonderful non-typical Hindi story starring Abhishek Bachan... i loved it! it was a really good movie even though it was just a dash about love. must watch again, i swear!

can't wait for tomorrow i will be free and going to visit friend in Kapurthala. Insya'Allah...

24.06.11 : Chamyari

it was a nice day with cloudy and windy weather. Alhamdulillah...

during the day i had the TV set to myself & watching it alone. i did not flipped channel like people here used to, unless a TV commercial is up & mind you i only switched between 2 channel...

Everything was well & i did night gardening. a little strange working in a dimly light night in the vegetable garden. honestly at the beginning i was having silly thoughts of harmful insects biting me, poisonous frogs and snakes creeping behind me... i try my very best not to think about it. and i sing my way through while doing my job under the supervision of mummy who gave the instruction from the house terrace, by shouting... Alhamdulillah all went well!

Oh yes! one of the best thing was, i did not sweat that much...

23.06.11 : Chamyari

Alhamdulillah... i'm back stronger, Amin Ya Rabbi Al'Amin...

everything was fine with me, i regained my health. unfortunately mummy did not recover well and was feeling sick with fever. Rahul managed to sent her to see doctor again.

just as she returned home there was a temporary electric power cut off. having fever & feeling very hot on summer day she needs a cool breeze which did not arrived... so i have to fan her with 'paki' (hand woven fan). imagine i have to do it for more than an hour to make her feel comfortable & better, i'm fine. we must always show and give care of the sick in our presence.

besides my normal routine, today i have been "upgraded" to a "vegetable gardener", tending to the vegetable farm. well, with an open heart everyday is a learning day if you will.

Insya'Allah i will coped and managed all the duties.

22.06.11 : Chamyari

i'm feeling better and better, Alhamdulillah.

i challenged myself to do the normal routine of the "Aquarius" carrying water for the household. a little limp but does not deterred and dampened my spirit. in the morning and again in the evening. i'm glad that i'm abled... Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Also resuming my cow herding duty in the evening. 'Moo' the cow is behaving a little stubborn today. Hmm...

Rahul sister, nephew & niece returned to their home today. will missed those little brats and their demand for the Doraemon cartoon show on Disney channel 605. i find it funny watching a Japanese cartoon character speaking in Hindi language... it recalled me to my childhood memories of watching Doraemon in Malay language... hehehe.

a relaxing evening, peaceful and quiet until 'someone' came. never thought it would happen, it just happen... no comment on that. what i care for now that i'm feeling better and looking forward to full recovery, Insya'Allah...

21.06.11 : Chamyari

what i need is a little more rest... i'm getting well and feeling much, much better... until Rahul nephew step on my swollen feet. Ouch!!! thats truly hurt and goes to my brain. It brought me to tears... i can't show my pain nor i can show my anger, kids are just kids...

i tried to focus on doing little step walk, Alhamdulillah it helps my blood circulation. i input more positive thought doing my writing and managed to complete 2 friendship band in between. the day end results was full of syukur...

while in the evening i decided to do just star gazing as the night sky is so clear. Subhan'Allah... What a beautiful starry night. it makes me forget my pain... i was speechless.

"Ya Allah... Tiada yang lebih indah dari ciptaanmu..."

20.06.11 : Chamyari

feeling unwell with swollen knee & slight fever, i isolated myself in the bedroom... i slept most of the time.

it was only around 1515hrs i took my first similiar medication, thank you mummy. the medication i requested did not arrived, hmm... nevertheless i'm recovering & feeling better, the fever is gone. Alhamdulillah...

My medicine came only around 1700hrs in the late afternoon. oh my... but thank you. looking forward to better recovery and getting well, Insya'Allah...

19.06.11 : Chamyari

It was a good Sunday i could say, until Mummy faint at the vegetable farm in the evening. just after i finished feeding and herding 'Moo' the cow. Luckily there are other family members around to manage her. thank God...

for myself i started to feel sick, putting my mind to positive thought. By night time it is confirmed i got swell on my knee, it hurts and painful. Hopefully taking Paracetamol & Diclofenac will help... but the medicine did not arrive as requested. hmm... I got to bear the pain for tonight just wish i would be alright tomorrow. Insya'Allah...

"Ya Allah... kuatkanlah niat ku, sembuhkanlah penyakitku, teguhkan imanku. Sesungguhnya aku redha dengan dugaan mu Ya Allah. Amin"

1st of all... Happy Birthday to a dearest friend Mummy Mimie. With all best wishes and many happy returns, another number added to our life. Stay young and may your beautiful heart be blessed always. Miss you dearly, sorry tak dapat "global" sama2 ~ truly sorry...

it was a relaxing day after the family went out. nothing much to do just wanted to have a peaceful time. i do what i do like most ~ writing and making friendship band in between. it took my mind off from everything of how much i miss my family, home, friends and local food back in Singapore. the serenity of the surrounding at times capture me like i want it forever... i wished. i even decided not to snap any picture today. strange thought, i let time passed by itself not capturing it like i use to do. never once i allowed boredom conquered my mind... shoo-shoo.

my only wish now i could moved on to my next destination by this month end. let see how it goes, insya'Allah...
