I had a very relaxing day today as I've taken a day leave off from work expecting some delivery.I woke up early eventhough I don't have to rush to work...these eyes of mine just refuse to let me go back to sleep.After reading the morning news paper and dispensing my dad's medications I did my washing and mopping the house.I was glued to the pc till 11am reading and blog hopping:)Finally I got my butt off the chair and took my shower and do some cooking for the both of us.
Whilst I was in the kitchen I had 2 missed call from Nora she was at Jurong Point and was thinking of giving me a visit at work but unfortunately I was on leave.I called her back and invite her over which she accepted.
Nora arrived around 12 plus after doing some shopping at JP.She brought with her some chicken pies from Pola Cafe and some instant rempah of soto and mee bandung...THANK YOU NORA.Somehow I think we've been brought up that when we visit someone mesti bawa buah tangan and we do not like to impose to our host/hostess ... betul tak?
We had lunch together with what I had cooked earlier and am so sorry Nora if you've told me in advance I could have cooked something more.Nevertheless we enjoyed the sambal ikan merah rite? and not forgetting the blueberry ice-cream after....haha
Thank you for coming Nora and now we get to meet each other I hope they'll be more visits to come.
1st February is my brother in law Yazid's birthday....HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND MAY YOUR DAYS BE FILLED WITH LOVE WITH THE FAMILY.So where are we going for dinner tonite?Your pressie is here with me:)
1st February is also my brother's Esa death anniversary...AL-FATHIHA...
14 yrs has gone by and you are always in our heart and thoughts,we saw how much you had suffered with your illness of lymphoma.The chemotheraphies you went through and after effect and yet you were strong fighting it all the way.The last 2 weeks of your life I can never forget .. I took 2 weeks leave to be with you at the hospital along with Maria who came down from the states to give you comfort.We were both at the hospital from 12 noon bringing your lunch and left you to rest at 2pm and coming back again at 5pm and between 2-5pm we both roamed to the nearest shopping complex to kill time.I can still picture the morning Maria arrived and instead of her crying it was you who did because you knew that will be the last time you be seeing her.Inspite of your visual handicapped I think you are a better person than some who can see.You worked hard to bring income to your family.You helped Ros with housework and taking care of Jaja and Asykary.Your 2 children are grown up now and Jaja is in 2nd year at the National University of Singapore doing Business Marketing and she was one of the top malay student too in her A level results.Asykary is taking his O level next year.
We were all with you the night before you left us and the night before that I went over to give you the morphine injection so that you will have a good night sleep.Yes you told Maria that you won't be able to see her again after she leaves for the states and how true it was .... we were at the airport sending her off that morning when we recieved news that you have left us peacefully in the arms of our dear sister in law Rosaini.Dear readers my tears just roll down as it is very touching to remember of my dear brother on his anniversay.He was so young to leave us the age of 36 leaving behind 2 young children.Eventhough you are no longer around Ros and the chidren are in our contacts and they are parts of the Jellanie family.
Al-fathiha and may you rest in peace.
Till my next entry.................Labels: Family
