Salam alaikunna! Cause I know only my girl friends are going to read my blog :P.

Wow..I didn't know the phrase 'the last of your teenage years' even exists until people start saying them to me.
Jazakillah khair again to all my friends who surprised me on the day before my birthday. I was just thinking that I have never had a surprise birthday before :*).
Went I heard noises outside my door, I immediately ran inside- reflex action. I was of course not wearing a scarf at that time.
Had so much funnnn. I thought it was going to be a boring birthday, not being in school and all. But it was the best one. I had my lifetime friends to celebrate it with. Muhammad bought me a Puma handbag, Ali bought me a superman bag! Woooohooo! And my sweeeet umi bought me levi's jeans. What more could you ask for. Of course the sweetest gift of all is starting to feel healthy and having the self-confidence back. Alhamdulillah. I appreciate all the gifts- gramaphone, sweet birthday cards!, famous amos, shawl, brooch, shirts, book. Definitely all the wishes and doas as well. It's the thought and doa that counts. =)
Oh, and poor pizza guy. He was blushing and looking away. Lol.
I'm going to Jakarta again this coming Mon for a week. InsyaAllah I'll get the green light from the doc that I can climb/hang soon. Amin.

Love you all my friends! InsyaAllah we'll have a bright future ahead of us, and may our health and iman always be great/strong. Amin!

Salam!

Just read Seri's blog post. Courtesy does go a long way. I don't like it if I smile and people don't smile back. Or if people don't even return my SMSes (Their hp does work). Well, you can't expect everyone to make you happy. You can't change a person, but you still can change your attitude towards them.

Now I'm able to do jumping jacks...wooooohoooo! Alhamdulillah. I can slow jog short distance but I still can't run cause imagine running and limping at the same time, you're not able to move fast.
Went to ECP yesterday- first day of Chinese New Year. There were a lot of Indians, white people and of course malays(no.1). Spent time with relatives, keep munching and looking for things to eat (that's what I don't like about picnics).

Alhamdulillah since I reduce my dosage of meds my acne has gone way down. But I think my chubbiness is still there. Hopefully it'll continue to go down before school reopens. Had my blood test last week, and now I think I have a blood clot. I knew I had a bad feeling about that nurse. She didn't even smile at me. I hate it when doctors take my blood, but I don't mind donating it. Btw he said my ESR (something Sedimentation Rate) was a bit high - inflammation of the bloods. He does not know whether it's because I had a cold that morning or the reduction of my dosage. When I got home I cut all the fruits from the fridge and make a fruit salad(Known to reduce inflammation). I was scared because this inflammation can cause my joints to be weak or redness on the skin and all that.

The official date to move house to Tampines is 16 March. :'(

Have a wonderful day ahead!

Dum Di Dum

Friday, January 14, 2011

You only use 10% of your brain: MYTH. All the parts of your brain are being used ;)

Yesterday I went swimming with Syahidah and Nabihah :D.
Syahidah : 'Eh bestnye! Kita orang buat ni weekly ah'. Hahah.
Alhamdulillah now I'll be able to see my friends more often. Anybody wants to join? InsyaAllah every Tues and Fri if it does not rain. We spent about 3 hours in the pool. When we were finished I told them next time lets just make it 1 hour :D. The weather + pool water = VERY COLD.
The moment I got home I rubbed 'minyak panas' all over my body. If I don't do that I'll be aching. Plus made myself a cup of hot MILO.

Since we're packing to move to Tampines, I've been reading alot :D . Books like Neurobics, Feng Shui, Syiah and Sunni (curious about the syiah part), Christopher Reeve (Superman), 10 yang dijamin masuk syurga. Lol. Every time my mom puts her books in the 'give away' pile, I'll check and keep some or read and put it back. That explains the wide selection that I'm reading :D. I'm going to miss this home a lot =( .
Last 2 days I tried to slow jog and I managed! Wooohooo! Alhamdulillah. Next TDL is to : Jump, Run, Hang on the bar. InsyaAllah I really hope I can do all this before I start school in April. Alhamdulillah now I'm able to pray the fardhu prayers normally. Except Subuh I use a chair (Baru nak start engine) ;D.

Okay hope everybody is the best state of iman and health, Amin!

'Whenever you take independent people accustomed to daily interactions with family, friends, or associates, and suddenly move them to a setting where the entire focus is on what's wrong with them- a setting where they have very little else to distract them-you can virtually GuRrANTeE they will suffer from boredom, depression, or both' . Something I read.

No wonder the past months when I was at home most of the time I cried a lot. At times I seriously don't even know why I was crying.I was also really really emotional. Even the slightest things people say to me will make me tear up..lol. Alhamdulillah that doesn't happen anymore. When I was schooling, I'll reach home every day after 10pm, only on Tuesdays. Even on Sundays I was out the whole day teaching at Madrasah Al-Junied. Then suddenly Allah tested me with this illness..So from being out everyday, I was then at home or in the hospital everyday. Alone. No wonder I was depressed. I think the meds also had a real toll on me..I was taking 9 pieces of steroids everyday and some painkillers on top of other medication. At night I would be in pain, and all I wanted to do was sleep. The meds also caused me to be drowsy! Aaaargghh! Everyday I would fall asleep before 9.30pm. I know. Most nights it was painful and I had to wait almost an hour before I could fall asleep. Alhamdulillah that doen't happen anymore too. Now I sleep like a baby :) . Now I'm really xxxxxx thankful Alhamdulillah that my face is going back to normal. Imagine seeing your face puffed up with a lot of acne every time you look at the mirror everyday for 7 months. On top of that everywhere on your body has a lot of scars on it. Even you would be depressed and try to hide..lol.

Okay! Stop with the flashback miseries..haha. I think I never said all of this out loud before. Just venting out and burying them from now. Btw, I think only a few people are going to read this. Pull-up bar, you're going to be my bestest friend in the future..lol. Of course..everything was overcome through a lot of doa,hope, faith and definitely usaha. & of course the support of your family. Alhamdulillah for giving me the patience, strength and insight and understanding from now on..on how sick/unable people really feel. I didn't really understand until I felt it myself.

Advice to every body: Try not to take panadols. Use ointment instead. & do not eat instant food..the consequences are bad. ;) Sorry to burst your bubble to those who especially like instant noodles!

Jakarta 2nd time

Monday, December 27, 2010

Salam wonderful people!
Alhamdulillah since the 2nd time I went to Jakarta, I think my strength improved by about 20++% :D. Alhamdulillah yesterday I successfully swimmed 1and 3/4 lap. Haha. Before I could finish the 2nd lap, my back felt weird so I stopped. The muscle on my left leg has grown but it's still smaller than the right one.
Guess what I'm reading now? - '201 things to do while you're getting better (At home or in the hospital)'. Seriously. But it's not that I stay at home all day. I go swimming on alternate days if possible and sometimes I go out with the cuzzies. Tomorrow my aunt is having a picnic at East Coast. Hopefully I can go cause some people are also coming to my house tomorrow.

This time round Jakarta was fun! Cause I went there with Ali baba, my brother. So we did a lot of shopping. Well, atleast he did. I bought what was necessary..kind of. =D & at night times we went to the treatment place and did a lot of waiting. Pak Haji knows how to speak Arabic now =D. When I come he'll say 'Udkhuli!'. Still a bit scared of him, cause he presses my foot so hard.
Okay, adios sinoritas! Below are a few pics while I was in the plane.

Quote of the day: No pain, no gain.

Swim away!

Thursday, December 09, 2010

Just now was the second time I went to the swimming pool since about more than 9 months. This time I actually make myself brave to actually swim..alhamdulillah for giving me the strength and keeping me safe. I know it's only swimming..but since I was sick anything could happen to my body. Like my back could suddenly lock itself up.. نعوذ بالله. Now a lot of things are like learning for me- learn to swim, to squat, sit on the floor,stand on the spot for more than 10mins, eat with my hand without shaking..
Well.. just being able to swim a bit today made me see the future a little bit brighter.. Alhamdulillah..

Back from DJAKARTA

Tuesday, December 07, 2010

I just know that over there they actually spell Jakarta with a silent 'D' in front . Or has it been always like that?=D Alhamdulillah here are the improvements that I so far see:

1) I feel lighter/happier =D
2) There are no more currents at this 1 spot on my palm when I pressed it.
3) I think my walking is much better. Still a bit limping.
4) Most people say my right leg has grown a bit more. (Even though I don't really see much diff) But it's still a bit smaller than the left one.
4) I can straighten my ring-finger on my right hand a bit more.
5) Oh, and ALHAMDULILLAH my chubbiness and pimples have gone down (This was the result from too much meds from Changi Hospital) .
But I think that's also because I use the facial gel roll-on from Garnier. I recommend this very much to whoever that wants to reduce pimple or to avoid them =D.
Also not to forget Doa'.. never underestimate the power of doa'.

This old man from Jakarta told me that his right eye was so swollen and big that it looked like it was about to pop out. Most people were afraid of him. This happened for 3 1/2 years. All the doc's medication didn't help him and so did the doctors. The only option was operation. So he started praying in the middle of the night and asked from Allah. Next few months, his eye was back to normal. MasyaAllah! He said he even got a dream that somebody said in 3 1/2 years his sickness will be cured!

I'll be going back to Jakarta in the next 2 weeks insyaAllah for a few more treatments and follow-up. Oh and guess what, when I was in Jakarta I tried to lift a baby and I accidentally pulled my back muscles..cause I was not suppose to carry anything heavy let alone a baby =D.
I felt like the whole stretch of my back was locked and I couldn't move. It was so painful. But I tried to calm myself down and took a few deep breaths. When I told the doctor in Jakarta he scolded me =D. Here's the picture of the baby and his sister =)
