The Jungle Book Show

Last night I went to watch the show at Nabila & Hakeem school titled “The Jungle Book”. The show was adapted from the Disney Animated Classic Jungle Book. It tells about a young boy named Mowgli who is adopted by a wolf pack and taught the laws of the jungle by Baloo, loveable bear and Bagheera the panther. It is a story about a friendship between man and animals n how he survives growing up in the jungle.

Every child in the school has their part to play. Nabila and her classmates were panthers who growing up in the jungle. While Hakeem and his friends played as village people. The show was success n all of the children were very talented. Many parents turned up to give support to their children.

I enjoyed the show n happy to see Nabila and Hakeem did it well. They were practising hard n looking forward for this day.

This is the closing year end term show by the children. The children gained n developed their public speaking, singing, dancing and acting talents and share them with the audience. That’s proven to Hakeem n Nabila who were many times performed on stage without fright n Hakeem who just loved the microphone that he just couldn’t stop talking!

Farewell To Mrs Tate

Last Friday Nabila’s class had a farewell party for the class teacher – Mrs Tate. She begged me to join them. I left Hakeem at the hospital with my maid n sneaked out to the school to attend the party. I bought three boxes of pizza.

When I arrived the party has started with giving away gifts to Mrs Tate. Later on each of the students read poems to her. Mrs Tate was so happy n pleased to receive such an overwhelming celebration from her students n moms. There were lots of foods laid on the table.

Mrs Tate has been a very good teacher to my daughter. I was quite shocked at first when got to know that she is leaving. I was expecting Hakeem to be in her class when he goes to Year 1.

I wish all the best to Mrs Tate n hope to see her again somewhere, sometime.. I am sure all the students will miss her n proud to have her as their teacher.

Truly Blessed

First of all I would like to express my gratitude to Allah S.W.T. Hakeem is now fully recover from his fever n free infection in all the tests. After six days staying at the hospital, we finally got to get back home today. Hakeem is so happy n back to himself – very active running, playing n not to mention the babbling n non ending talking.

For the past six days, I left my house with only my children, cousin n maid. After two days my aunty arrived to be with them. I am totally blessed n thankful to my dearest cousin Dhaniah. She has been so kind n very helpful to send n pick Nabila to/from school. What will I do without u Danny… Semoga Allah membalas segala budi baikmu itu.

When I was alone at the hospital, I was thinking a lot about my children n home. How I wish hubby is around. I hate to trouble people. I hate when people start to think I am a burden to them. I know the fact that there are things that I can never do alone. Therefore I am so grateful to have people around me that I love n care. This bunch of people that have a warm heart n always be there when I need a hand.

I have father, brothers, cousins, aunties, uncles, mother in-law, SIL who on & on showed their concerns n worries about Hakeem. Thank u so much n I do really appreciate that.

Now I am back at home n gonna have a good sleep on my bed tonight.

Happy Birthday Voguemom

Today is exactly 3 years I’ve started as a blogger - a profession that I love at the moment. My blog – scritch & scratch is mainly just about what’s going on thru out the journey of my life.

I sometimes love to knock the keyboard n share thoughts with others. For some people it could be rubbish or probably sort of me bragging about what’s going on in my life. But well… it’s my blog.. hehehhehe.. I can write whatever I want.

To who ever who loves to read my blog – thank you so much. To who ever that I might have hurt your feelings without I realize – I am very sorry.

Anyway after 3 years, I am proud to still have the same excitement n enthusiasm every day to write something in my blog. And I will never stop.. Insyaalah.

Happy birthday voguemom.

A Quickie Home Visit

The latest result for Hakeem’s urine test is much better. Yesterday the contained of the blood cell in his urine was 20-30 n this morning was 2-3. I am so relief n teramat bersyukur. He is not having fever anymore n it is a good sign of his recovery.

When the doctor came to visit him today I asked for us to be discharged from the hospital. He said NOT YET. I was about to breakdown n cry in front of him. My other concern n worry is Nabila. I’ve left her for 5 days n feel like I have been neglected her.

Though she has Nadira, my cousins n aunty around but she always cried at night before sleeping. I am totally feeling guilty about this. But on the other hand I don’t want to leave Hakeem alone at the hospital. I don’t want to bring Nabila to the hospital coz she is still small n with all this swine flu around, I think she is just better to stay at home.

So this morning I asked for the doctor’s permission to go back home for a while. I am now at home n has to go back to the hospital by 2pm. Luckily the hospital is just nearby from the house. When reached home, Hakeem looked so excited n happy. He straight away ran to see his plants – tomato & chilli. He also was running looking for Nabila.

They were holding hand n non-stop talking to each other. I know they miss each other so much n Hakeem miss his home too. Today is his 5th day in the hospital. We have to stay in the hospital till Monday. Hakeem has to finish his antibiotic course n on Monday get an ultra sound scan to check the condition of his bladder.

I just hope n pray that he will fine. Meanwhile we make this opportunity at home to be with Nabila n others. Honestly.. I am glad to be at home though it’s only for a short while.

Get Well Soon Hakeem

I was at the hospital since Tuesday. Hakeem has been admitted to the hospital. I was actually there to get him to see the specialist for a thorough check up. Since he was small Hakeem always has fever, flu n cough. The recent one was 3 weeks ago after we came back from PD.

Every time when we went for a holiday or trip either at the cold place, desert or crowded dusty places, Hakeem will catch the flu or fever. That Tuesday morning also I found Hakeem’s urine contained a bit of blood.

I was panic when asked by the doctor to get Hakeem admitted. I didn’t expect n prepare for that at all. I rushed back home to settle Nabila n house matter then get back to Hospital in the evening.

Hakeem has done his urine & blood test. It seems the urine n blood got infection. He got the ultra sound test as well for bladder & kidney. Alhamdullilah his kidney is fine except infection n inflame at the bladder.

Anyway he is now undergoing an antibiotic treatment. He is still having fever at night. The doctor is still doing some test n add on new antibiotic which is suitable to kill the virus.

Otherwise Hakeem is so active during the day time. He talks non-stop n love the hospital food! He sometimes got bored n nagging me to bring him home. I pray n hope that Hakeem will be better soon.

Meanwhile I have to be at the hospital for another a few days. I pray to Allah to protect all my children.

Talk From The Heart

My two younger children, Nabila & Hakeem are so very talkative. They can just sometimes talking n babbling about everything. Nabila is non-nonsense talker whereas Hakeem is full with imaginations that can sometimes talks beyond his mind.

Whenever Nabila opens her mouth, she always talks about facts, details explanation especially about what she learned at school n things she read. As for Hakeem he loves to talk about his creative imaginations n also lots lots of questions of why this n why that.

At their age they just talk n express whatever comes across their mind. They sometimes don’t even know that there are things n stories that actually ‘exclusively’ for us the family to know. This also proven that kids don’t lie n they just so sincerely n genuinely say from their heart. A few occasions happened that the teacher will come n ask me – is it true what Hakeem said that…………..??

Recently Hakeem’s class teacher said that Hakeem told her “my mom didn’t send me to class today because she is so shy n scared that people might see her ears n neck” Well.. actually that morning I wore new tudung n didn’t realized that it was very transparent. Nabila noticed it first said that she could see my brown colour hair clip. When I looked at the mirror while driving I said “Oh my God, how could I not see n realize that this tudung is so transparent. People could see my ears n neck. Now I am so shy to send both of u down to the class”

Being nice n thoughtful both of them said I can just drop them at the drop point zone. So that’s why I didn’t send Hakeem to the class as usual n I also didn’t expect him to tell that to his class teacher! A week ago, a BM teacher n one assistant teacher (approached at the different time) came to me chatting told me that Hakeem n Nabila said their daddy’s boss name are Mr penyapu lidi n Mr Garlicky. Hehehhehehe.

This I have to blame my hubby!! He always likes to joke around n created weird funny names about everything. I told both of the teachers that Nabila n Hakeem don’t even know the meaning n what is this penyapu lidi. Their daddy was just joking around. Now I have to correct n create new names for my hubby’s boss just in case they want to brag about it!

When I was away for umrah, my cousins were taking care of my children. At night before go to bed my cousins chatted with Nabila. Nabila told them that she sometimes pretended sleeping when I asked her to. Being nosey my cousin asked did u see anything what mommy n ayah doing. She said they were just talking. They didn't do anything. They didn’t know I was pretending to sleep. Hahahahaha.. bahaya betul…

There are lots more if I want to tell here. Nabila n Hakeem grown up to be very curious n everything that interests them will lead them to non-stop talking n questioning. They see, hear n feel. You don’t know what your kids are talking among their friends. Like one of Nabila’s friend said that her daddy's car got a button that when press, the car can fly n change to an aeroplane. And Nabila believes that till now n always curious to have a look at the car. Hakeem even told me that his friend said the Bakugan toys are more cheaper if were to buy in Singapore. Hehehehhehe..
