It’s been a week since I last posted. I think I got tired from the essays I needed to submit for all 5 of my modules 😥 1 more month! Bismillah!
Have you listened to the song on my title before? I love it and have been holding on to its lyrics for the past 2 weeks as the flu I’m blessed with keeps coming and going. I don’t think it’s due to lack of sleep as I sleep when I need to. Too often leaving my work undone and will only finish it the next day. Haha. Hence, I think it is the amount of stress. I’m not complaining although I would love to huhu. But I would like to capture this period for one to remember the gift of health.
Today is the worse. I kept sneezing since 3am. It was so sudden as I felt fine after the lonely but lovely run on Wednesday. I observed abah who still battles with his leg and back pain and recently, something he’s diagnosed with and thought to myself that the nikmah of health is really valuable. Thank you abah for staying strong. For putting up a strong facade in front of your children despite such pain. Ya Allah, flu ni takde apape berbanding tu. Thohuurun inshaAllah.
I tried to do my work on the bus but the itch and sneezing just kept coming. So I slept all the way to school. I had to print my essay so visiting the library made me nervous. I was so noisy with my sniffs and occasional sneezes. But little things like someone paying for my printing (I couldn’t find who!) and bumping into Norul who gave me a hug really made my day ❤ MashaAllah, alhamdulillah. Came to class with a red nose, watery eyes, tissue on the left hand and ointment on the right. Alhamdulillah, the medication finally kicked in as I type this entry. 🙂

The article on duit salam got published today. Alhamdulillah. Well wishes from family and friends brought me back to my intentions of writing it. To self, today’s article was only possible by Allah’s help. There was nothing in it for me except to paint smiles on Ummi and Abah’s face. To practise writing on things I’m passionate about and to share my concerns with the community.
Semoga Allah terima.
Week 10, lesgo.
