two awards and a misfortune

My boy was 2nd best again in his class. Gosh...it has been two weeks since the prize giving ceremony...I was busy with school year end tasks that I'd totally forgotten to post about his red-letter day. Two thumbs up for you Aqeel... for also getting another award for best in Science. Alhamdulillah...

2nd best, 2nd time, 2 trophies - the power of No.2 :)

Well... there was another story behind this happy day, I had an accident just a few minutes before going to Aqeel's school that day. While I was closing the front gate and off to the car, I carelessly rolled the sliding gate over my left big toe nail...and the pressure had forced the nail to dislodge from the nail cuticle (not sure of the right term) but the worst part was, the nail was ripped half way and the pain was too much too bare. I  even experienced a short black out that only last for a minute I guess...luckily Mr.B was there to treat me. He applied some 'minyak gamat' and bandaged my toe with plasters. Then, we quickly went to Aqeel's school.

This picture was taken after the doctor's treatment. I was given antibiotics, pain killers and antibiotic cream.

the toenail...huhuhu...

Now, I have to wait until it heals and wait for a brand new toe nail to grow to replace the old one.   hemmmm....I have no idea how it's going to look like.

nursing

After Fifi's death, I realised that I must do something, so I went to a pet shop nearby and bought a packet of milk replacer and a feeding bottle. 

Here's a picture of late Fifi and her kittens, taken an hour after she gave birth to her kittens. This was on the 20 October 2011.

Now, I have to feed 4 kittens everyday! Anybody care to adopt them?

Wakey wakey sleepy head

The cleverest among the 4 to latch on bottle

The second best to drink from a bottle

The third, still struggling but accepted it

This one is having nipple confusion

sound asleep...zzzzz

double lost

A colleague of mine, Kak Faridah Sharif, passed away at 4.30 a.m today after a nearly three-year battle with breast cancer. My friends and I went to pay our final respects to her at her house in Paya Keladi this morning. I will always remember her for her bubbly self. She'll be missed and I know...she's in a better place now with no pain and suffering. Semoga roh Kak Idah ditempatkan bersama-sama golongan orang-orang yang beriman.

Another sad news....I lost my cat, Fifi yesterday. I found her dead under 'Adnin's bicycle. My conscience was right when she didn't come back for her meals and to feed her kittens. I was so worried until I found her. I suspected that she ate a poisonous rat because I found some parts of rat bodies nearby. Now, what am I going to do with her 4 kittens? The kittens were only 7 days old when Fifi was found dead and they can't even open their eyes! Ya Allah please help me.

the pic was taken 2 years ago with her kittens Ben and Gwen

better already

Charlie is back on his feet! Here are some photos of what he always does when I come back from work.

Isn't he adorable...
