Huuuugs.

I’m sitting with a box of tissues beside me as I write today’s entry.

It all started on a fateful Wednesday morning as I was slowly being slaughtered by accounting quiz #2. My nose was suddenly like a running pipe, unable to stop.

Then the flu bug hit my throat and I called home to grab some medicine as I have 4 hours before my next class – that 4 hours which I wanted to make full use of to prepare for another quiz.

But it got worse once I reached home.

Thus I had no choice but to say goodbye to my quiz and sent a quick excuse email to prof for missing a lesson + quiz without MC. To my surprise, prof replied that she was willing to overlook the need of an MC and even allowed me to take the quiz on another day 😥 God is Great. #GivethankstoAllah

So yes, I got sick again this month. I spent my Wednesday evening indoors and ate all the supplements that I ignored, the fruits that I’ve forgotten and took medication so diligently, hopeful that I would be fit enough for work the next day. Alhamdulillah for kienah who forced me to sleep and refused to reply my messages. With this one, tough-love certainly works.

Kienah was right. Sufficient rest certainly made my condition better the next day. But then fever suddenly kicked in. I couldn’t bring myself to work. Because I didn’t want to sound petty or create an impression of how weak my immune system is, (I took MC the same month from work..) I tried asking my supervisor if I could push forward my Thursday shift to another week in April. She gave a thumbs-up without asking for any reason. God is indeed Great. #GivethankstoAllah

But I still went to school anyway for a project meeting. I couldn’t afford to miss this one because the presentation is just next week! Side note: I think I looked like a walking zombie. Even Haz said that I looked different ><

But the trip to school was great. Because I received hugs. Can’t believe people still wanted to hug me although I was feeling and looking so sick~ God is Great #GivethankstoAllah

I finally got better today! Alhamdulillah. Well what’s left is the *sniffs* flu.

Was able to go work and meet my lovely and understanding supervisor. I didn’t feel so bad about sniffling through work because other people around me were also sniffling away. Guess it’s just that stressful period in school with submissions, presentations and finals looming. Finished work at about 12pm and went to meet Haz, Athirah and Hani + help with the App testing for their FYP. Good job ladies, you’re doing really great!

I didn’t want to stay in school any longer so I made plans for some self-care time around Sultan. But as I was walking along the basement of my school, I noticed several tourists and decided to approach them. Glad I could be of some benefit by showing this lovely professor from Surabaya and her children, a young mother and a final year medical student, to the bus stop. Interesting encounter indeed.

Did my self-care from 2.30-4.30pm and as I walked back towards the bus stop to head home, guess who I met? Lovely coach Iffah. God is Great #GivethankstoAllah

I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the entire journey home.

I couldn’t stop thinking how…

…every move you make, and every step you take is by His blessings.

The short period of being sick, meeting the professor from Indo, Iffah and all other unexpected but much needed encounters in life…

…were only a glimpse of His Greatness.

For that, Alhamdulillah.
