My poor girls :(

July... is a month full of trials for me... in terms of family health. First week... I was in JB for my eldest girl who needed to remove liver cyts and congestion at the outer walls of her ovary... 2 ops at one go. Now 2 weeks later... she's doing very well... Alhamdulillah

Last week... my Aida was down with flu, cough and sore throat. Not a good combination with all the viruses in the air everywhere. It was stable for a while ...until she developed fever yesterday. At the same time yesterday... Syakirah complained of severe pain on her right side... not persistent but it comes and goes. With experience... I'd immediately suspected appendix (hubby, son and ma ... in that order... all had their appendix removed!!!) So ... together with Aida and Ira... off to Assunta Hospital we went...

Aida was cleared of whatever danger that lingers in the air currently... but Syakirah was another story. Spent 4 hrs in Assunta juggling between doctors and lab tests... and finally by 6.00pm... she was warded and due for an op at 8.00pm that very night! Yup!... by 10.00pm... Syakirah is appendix-less. My poor baby ... it's never a nice feeling to see your babies sick.... or in pain !!! It makes it even worse when you have to choose to spend more time with one at the expanse of the other. Aida has to take care of herself as I focus on Ira....

I'm now in the hospital ... juggling my time between my babies and commitments to my customers. Mom took over to sit with Ira whilst I rush back home and spent 2 hrs painting on the hutch for Zieta. It's half way done now... will continue another 2hrs tomorrow... Zieta needs it by Sunday for a preview on Monday (or something like that... can't exactly remember what she said hehe). I also brought along her key cabinets here to paint...

And my garden??? Hehehe ... I think I'm planting weeds again *sigh*

Good night... sweet dreams...

Haih...what a week...

This has been a very busy week. Apart from painting trying to complete the orders...I'd been in the hospital for a couple of days....nay...not me...but my manja one. When my kids are hospitalised...so am I. I'd be there for them from beginning to the end....no matter how old they are. How is she now?...she's good, thank you. Why was she in?...gosh... we don't know... honestly...she got better before the docs could put in another needle into her for more tests hahaha.. anyway that's my Syakirah :)

Anyway... I need to tell you this. Vicki Nicholson is coming to town. She'll be here end of June to run 2 workshops organised by Craft Haven. Anybody with the love of decorative painting would not want to miss this. It's an opportunity not to be missed!!!! Will tell you more about Vicki and her workshops later ya... need to prepare for my classes now ;) Pls do drop by again soon k...

Meet my babies

I have 4+1 beautiful people in my life. They inspire me to persevere and go on when the going gets tough. Why 4+1?... that's because 4 are my own and 1 that I consider as part of us. He's like another son to me. I love them all.

My 3 beautiful girls. Syakirah on the far left, Syukrina and Syuhaidah.

Syakirah is 18. She's now in UiTM Penang doing Tourism Management. A highly talkative and bubbly young lady, she's my third child. Her being away in Penang is surely felt for her absence has left the house real quiet. She's the cheekiest of the lot.... and oh she just simply loves the camera. My handphone is overloaded with her pics... 90% are hers!!!

Syukrina, is the eldest. She's a vivacious 24-year old lady and will be off to Jakarta soon to join an oil and gas company based there. Don't be fooled by her sweet angelic looks there for she sure is one helluva tough cookie hahaha. Being the eldest she 'bullies' her siblings... yup yup yup... but she's a darling. I'm going to miss you dear.

Syuhaidah is the youngest. This 16 year old baby is another tough cookie. Do not step on her toes if you do not wish to taste Syuhaidah's wrath!! A very independent gal... she has a mind of her own. Not as talkative as the other 2 but once you get to know her... she's crappy. Haha in fact... they are all crappy... just like mummy dearest.... muahahaha *sinister laughter*

My 1 and only son...my second child... Syahmi Rezza. He's 22 and is now flying high with Air Asia. The joker in the family... he does things he's not supposed to do sometimes... maybe just to test mama's patience *sigh*. He bullies his younger sisters but has to keep his peace with Syukrina hahaha

Finally, Nazreen whom I've taken as 1 of my own. He came into our lives some 3 years ago. His path just crossed ours 1 fine day and somehow he has managed to weave his way into my heart.

You people... you are my pride and joy. Thank you God for their presence.
