the obligatory Raya post

ok, so everyone's writing about their wonderful Raya. Salam Aidilfitri all.

well that came with as much verve and va va voom as a cardboad. *shakes herself out of stupor* heh. well, had a one-week break the week before Raya (beautiful thing about a different school calendar), and a comatose Acer Aspire at home, hence no updates.

Ilhan fell sick with viral fever on eve of Deepavali, and it came with the whole works - 39 deg fever, wracking cough (trust me, it's heartbreaking to see a 2-yr old bend double coughing out stubborn phlegm. he almost seem asthmatic), runny nose, vomiting, diarrhoea. he hasn't been eating since then - and today's Day 6. i kid you not. he has not eaten a morsel of solid food for like 5 days. i bathe him and it breaks my heart to see his bones the 2 tulang belikat) jutting out like a famished kid.

and when he's sick he's clingy and whiny and i feel so sorry for him. Hari Raya pertama we had kenduri tahlil at FIL's side of the family, and everyone said he looked thin, "Dia rindu bapak dia tu..kesian dia.." *dalam hati* ==> Memang betul, cik..bukan dia je yang rindu bapak dia, saya pun....boo hooo hoooo.

the husband had a practical test on Aidilfitri eve and a mid-term at 1pm on Aidilfitri itself. oh alangkah sedihnya bila takbir bergema.

and of course, when Ilhan falls sick, i do too. sebab kita "berpijak di tanah yang sama, bernafas udara yang sama" to quote Gusti Putri Raden Adjeng Retno Dumilah aka Puteri Gunung Ledang.

By the way, don't you think the PGL Musical is way overpriced? i think it is. ridiculously. way too much money to pay to watch a bunch of ladies berkemban.

where was i? right. sick. now i down with flu too, tetapi tepaksa gagahkan diri back to school today after 2 days of MC (for Ilhan, not me) cos the sec 3HMLs are will be taking their 'O' ML paper on monday, and i need to give that extra kick on their back (to put it very mildly).

tu lah dia cerita Raya saya. alhamdullillah Ilhan looks better yesterday evening, and i hope Mr Bad Virus disappears by today.

forgive the entry. Salam Aidilfiri semua. alhamdullillah for Ramadhan.
