From the normal hectic work schedule to the long holiday which was mostly spent to catch up on work. Even a trip down to KL (yes I know... AGAIN?!?!) didn't help much cos since most shops were closed, we die-die wanted to find those which are open just to throw our money.
Plus Lil' Sis was rushing through her project and so she sort of had the liberty of staying in the room more often.
I thought my work schedule is going to be packed till the 15th and that I could do a good break, or take things on a lighter pace right after. But that just is not going to happen.
My courses begins again tomorrow till the end of the week with even meetings scheduled for after the whole day course.
Presentation is pushed to next week, meaning that there will be review meetings prior to this.
In short, my schedule till mid March is up and hectic.
There are things which I have been trying to squeeze in with 3 other ladies and I am hoping to give my focus on it as well.
Worse, my grandma is again admitted to the hospital, suspected of a recurring stroke. Our Iron Lady of 80 years seems to pull through every time with God Almighty's grace, despite her demensia.
It is always in times like these that I see the power of God and how capable He is in unfolding things right in front of our eyes and under our noses.
And it is also in times like these that I would do my best to protect my mother's interest.
If it is in her best interest to protect her mom's, I would place priority for my grandmother.
Insya Allah.
I remember women telling me,"You don't know what it feels like to be a mother. Not until you become one. When you do, you will understand the sacrifices you'd do for your children"
I have not been a mother and I am probably always underestimating my own mother.
With Islam, going back and forth on the importance of treating a mother right and that they should be placed above everything apart from God, no one and I really mean no one have probably come close to understanding this notion.
What suddenly came into my mind is that when women said their share about being mothers, how will a son ever understand especially when he doesn't get to be a mother.
Then I saw the importance of a man having a good spouse. Huge importance.

But bottom line, it boils down to the individual himself. His principles and beliefs.
I grew up seeing one of my aunties taking care of babies who were not hers. When she passed away, leaving behind 3 adorable children, there was always someone looking over them.
What goes around, comes around.
That is definite.
I may not be the best daughter but my mom is the best I ever had.
I have said my piece.
It's a matter whether anyone gets it or not.
Plus, food for thought.
It takes anyone a whole lot of discipline to keep their mouth shut, unless if their vocabulary is that bad.
Cos words could not explain, could it?
It's like... like... like...so... so..teruk!
Wahahahahahahaha.. ok that is an internal joke.
Way to go Lil' Sis!
One thing for sure, I know that you are far from stupid. Far far far from it.
At least my parents are smart enough to bring up smarty pants like us, if you prefer to call us that way.
We are definitely better taught than your children, FYI!
