Letting go of Bella



Its time to bid farewell to my cat Bella..we can't keep her anymore, as we're all sensitive to the cats fur..flu, coughs and asthma had been the normal complain in our house for these past few months. n my darling Firman had just been diagnosed with pneumonia. after spending 2 nights at the hospital, we decided that we have to give Bella a new home..

We talked about her a lot when we were away from her, missing her already. we cried at the thought that we would no longer hear her meows in the mornings..i touched her just now..what a sweet cat she had been, always cleaning herself and cuddly enough to be hugged. glad that we have given her much love..bye bella, will miss you

This place I call Home

Been here 3months plus..tak pernah update blog. busy sangat enjoying Jeddah.... the updates:-

1. Shopping is what most women here do best...the sales never stop. its like an ongoing thing..in arabic sales is Mutaffidhaat..shopping is what i've been doing since i came. Dah ada banyak baju baru, pants, shoes, sandal, slipper, scented candles, teapot, Villeroy n Boch dinnerware, abaya, shawl, bath towels, hand towels...err those are the things to name a few..;))

2. mY weight - is now 57.4kgs. dah 3x seminggu pegi gym pun tak jugak jadi body macam Shakira.

3. Umrah - alhamdulillah dah ada sini selalu buat umrah. k linda (my friend who lives in the same compound) said ''eiwa, we are chosen to be here, tak semua orang ada rezeki duduk dekat dgn mekah, so make the best of it"..once again, alhamdulillah..

4. My health - is not so good now. the air-cond does not agree with my sinus. but the jeddah sunlight does not permit me to live without air conditioning. if takde aircond, i cant sleep!! and I cant stay in the house without the cool air, n I cant even sit in the kitchen without AC...so here I am down with sore throat n an infection that had required me to see a chest specialist. alhamdulillah i'm better now..but.......

5. my children had not been well either..high fever, flu, cough..comes and go..yesterday we just discovered that firman is down with pneumonia..how sad it is for a little boy like him yg kurus n kecik tiba-tiba ada pulak sakit pneumonia :(( dont worry firman, mama will make sure you get well really, really soon..

5. update on my activites at home - i cook everyday, so my darling nazri n my children get to eat my cooking everyday. itulah tanggungjawab isteri n ibu kan..menjaga suami dan anak-anak dengan sepenuh perhatian n kasih sayang..i told my husband, i was too busy in malaysia being a wife, mother, driver n a maid..that i was most of the time too tired to think of cooking n trying out new recipes..now that i dont drive, n i have a twice weekly maid, i can concentrate on cooking, giving my kids all the attention they need, giving my husband all the good food n more tender loving care he needs ;)) itu pun tanggungjawab isteri kan hehe

6. activities outside my home selain dari shopping - we have gone camping in the hills of Taif n snorkelling at the beaches of Shuaibah..we have gone on the rollercoaster at the Shallal Theme Park, lepas ni pegi holiday in Damascus/Turkey/other countries in the middle east...

till then..wait for my other updates. Bye!!
