Monster

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
One for the MONSTER, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.


My little adik has been very disturbed by monster stories these past few weeks.He got scared of  them. It perplex me on how he manage to imagine monster in every little thing he does. I have screen his cartoon shows and have never use the word monster to scares him in any way yet there he is telling stories about monster to us and of course he even sing the baa baa black sheep with the monster version.My husband and i decided if this continue, then we will try the ruqyah on him. InshaAllah khair.


This saturday is a big day for me. It will be my first day job as driver for my children to school. inshaAllah after sending them to school, i have to rush to my new school. Yes i have registered myself for arabic class in Polyglot institute here in Oman. One of my wish in Hajj is to be able to communicate in arabic. Alhamdulillah for all. The school is about 40km away from my place so things gonna be tough as i will be joining the morning crowd on the road and in the afternoon too. I  pray nothing ever happen that will disturb my routine for class and dispatching my children at school and other extra task. I want all of my task here to run smoothly. Ya Rabb grant me my doa.

holidays, new job

Assalamualaikum wbt

Been very long time i didn't write. Life been upside down and busy as usual but Alhamdulillah. School mid-year holidays started last Thursday and hubby to is taking his end of year holidays about the same days as the school holidays. The house is pack with 3 men in mylife who constantly asking for food, time and attention all at the same time. This is my first time ever having them 24/7 for about 2 weeks...pheww  May Allah make it easy for me and that hopefully everybody will be happy during this holidays although no holiday plan has been made yet. Perhaps just strolling around the city area.

For the boys it will be park and beach and ???? no idea but hopefully they will be happy enough and hopefully the weather will permits too as its been very cold lately here in Muscat..temp drops to 15deg at night up till early morning but gets very nice warm and windy in the afternoon. But then maghrib is at 5.30pm so the door for outing is really short. We shall see, inshaAllah khair.

Perhaps something worth mentioning here for my own pleasure and which is good for my ego is that i manage to bake a cake which is very light and fluffy!. Although its a ready mix moist chocolate cake recipe, but i made my own changes here and there and Alhamdulillah it turn out perfect cake in term of taste but not the shape and deco. 1/4 has already been eaten by the boys and hubby, and the rest of the 3/4 is there in the fridge waiting to be decorated. InshaAllah i will do the ganache tomorrow if it still worth to be presented with ganache :) or if the ingredients for the ganache are there in the baking cabinet. Today  I was just too tired to do the ganache after the sand time at the beach with the boys.

New job?....he he he.. I will have few extra job after this holiday season. I' ll be the driver for my children to school every  morning and afternoon.A job that i have been looking forward since i was there in Malaysia. Many of my friends are also drivers to their children and sometimes I pity them when they have to rush to send and pick their children at school. Now inshaAllah its my turn, may Allah make it easy and keep all of us safe always during the journey.What i do hope to happen during this time is that i will then be able to make the boys listen to the quran recitation esp the juzu amma thus strengthening their memorization. If before, their journey back and forth in the bus is spend sleeping or playing, i d hope now it will be a more meaningful time for quran memorization and listening for all of us. I'm gonna look into this matter indeed.Pray me success.

eye closing, inshaAllah till next time

The miracle of ginger

Salam to all,

As per tittle, i would like to tell abit on the usage of ginger that i recently discovered from real experience. I have known the advantages of ginger as part of prophetic medcine and of course science too acknowledge the many advantages of ginger for health. 

Few days ago, both adik and abang out of sudden complaint about stomachache and headache followed by vomitting. The adik started to show the symptom first by suddenly vomitting all over his bed while asleep. ironically the next morning he woke up jumpy and didnt show any sign of illness.But then later at night again he vomit again and i realised that before the event  his tummy looks so bloated. I quickly reckon there is something brewing in adik's body/ stomach and part of the problem seems have to do with his milk. ( he drank his routine milk before sleep ) after that vomitting episode, i gave him another bottle of milk as he was hungry after the stomach content is emptied. But this time i add abit of fresh ginger into the milk. Earlier in the day i watch in the iqraa tv about this medcine from the quran if im not mistaken and the Dr mention something about lactose intolerant and how one who has such problem should drink ginger before and after he drank his milk . I of course cant force a 2 yr old boy to drink ginger tea and also there is no way i can stop him to have his routine milk because i suspected lactose intolerence is happening in his stomach. ( he dislikes lactose free milk including soy milk) So i made tawakkul to Allah to add a piece of ginger in his milk and Alhamdulillah he slept well all the night and throughout the day too as i keep giving him honey drink wit a bit of ginger too in the morning.

Unfortunately the next nite it was abang's turn to start vomiting and he also complaints of stomachache and headache.I gave him the honey mix with ginger drink and zam zam water. The vomitting did not stop but continue until morning after. He then have to stay at home. As he loves his cereal in the morning and was asking for it, i again add a piece of ginger into their milk and cereal and continue  the ginger tea throughout the day and Alhamdulillah no more vomitting episode occur. But abang still complaint about the stomachache and also the headache. I realised he have the stomacache because he cannot pass his gas.( ive heard before that not passing the gas can be the indicator of stomach problem) I rub aginst his stomach the 'minyak kayu putih' oil and Alhamdulillah it helps abit with the bloating of the stomach and the ache.Alhamdulillah the vomitting episode last only 1 nite and he is all good to return to school the next day.

I thought the little adik has also recovered fully but today, i gave him his milk without the ginger and he start to vomit again. After that i gave him a new bottle of milk with ginger and i do hope he will sleep throughout the night peacefully.The stomach doesn't seems to be bloating. I do hope todays episode of vomit is a stress issue as he has been cranky all day when his sleep in the bus was disturb. May Allah heals you my son and protect you always from any harm.

As  conclusion i will recommend ginger in situation of lactose intolerance (vomiting and maybe diarrhea)  if your child is really a full fat milk drinker and cant live without it :) Its a quick solution then having to buy lactose free milk which might end up not being drank by him. If the child is older abit, then ginger drink is good in this situation as it also help if he cant pass his gas and still as a precaution put the ginger in his milk always too. You'll never know and its much easier then having to deal with cleanup of the vomit. I would also recommend 'minyak kayu putih' oil handy to those who are from south east asia as its very  popular as remedy for baby tummy/gas problems.

p/s in my case m myself and i assumed my children develop the lactose intolerence phaps due to somekind of virus attacking them. I might be wrong but im positively sure they cant take any normal milk without vomitting them again. Based on my past experience with almost same incident with abang and still remembering from what the Dr explain and recommend, i concluded that they are experiencing lactose intolerant with their milk for time being. For those who actually been diagnosed with the real lactose intolerance problem, i can only say give the ginger a try and i do hope i did not contradict any physician recommendation.  

much salam

Here it comes again

Salam to all

The cold n flu n cough season are back..so the adik has been 2 days at home recuperating...so officially yesterday was his 1st day being absent from school. Pity him .. a severe cough shaking your little body.

The abang on the other hand come home today chirping like a bird and telling me that he has something for me and adik.... a letter from school for ibu and tadaaa a very small truck toy for adik and a small car for himself. He said the teacher gave it to him as he has been very good at school and teacher gave him hadiah. mmmmm...im  abit skeptical about this but i dont want to have 'buruk sangka' on him..all ibu can do is to pray that you did not and will never ever steal from school or from your friends at school. Truth/ lie is still a mystery concept on him i guess. So ill be giving a watchful eye on this.

As fr me its my 4th day of shawal fast..inshaAllah ill finish it on the 29th of shawal..just in time...been very tired lately and when adik is sick, the lack of sleep makes this tiredness even worst.

And a quick note on the driving test yesterday...i failed again...huwaaaa.....but atleast i didnt feel cheated or zalim/unjustly treated...the police say im not good enough....and need practice and inshaAllah i will succeed next time...shwaiya shwaiya he said...im not sad though takpelah...there will be next time inshaAllah.

Update entry on Adik N Abang pt2

Today will try update again on adik progress at school. Its been 2 weeks adik in school...the 1st wed, sat, sun, monday ibu was there getting into the bus and waiting at the office there at school waiting incase unwanted scene to happen but Alhamdulillah all good...although the adik cry his heart put on that sat,sun ..but AlhamdulillAllah monday you were ok until now there is no more episode of crying that ibu heard of. But still in these past 2 weeks its been like 4-5 times you pee pee at school and come back wit the different set of cloth i prepared. Ibu is still sighing about this toilet training wit adik...1 week you progres very good and the next week we are back to square one....ibu just hope the teacher have the patience with you my dear son as you can be very stubborn when it comes to your wish of NO NO and NO nonetheless you are the youngest in the class..half of them are 3 yrs old and another half approaching 3 in 2-5 month time.


Abang grew so much..ibu realizes this when you sleep last night as how much you have grown....no more my little baby..you are a very tall kid now.But abang still manage to make me lost my temper very quickly..last few days we found a piece of playdoh in your ear...we know you put it there yourself as ive caught you many times doing that...but manage to stop you always... dont know when this happen but AlhamdulillAllah  we noticed it and went to hospital...and no serious injury or infection happen .


Abang have indeed out of pampers for good since my last entry....you are all dry and Alhamdulillah not once bed wetting scenario happen. As for school you have done very good... Abang is all ready for school on the 1st day....all gear up and when i left you in your class you smile and bye bye me as there is playdoh on the table for you to play with your new friends. You are now in KG2/ RC and few days ago you come home showing how to write 'a' .. you say teacher say this is the right 'a'..an 'a' which indeed like the English/American wrote....but ibu never likes their type of writing..cursive and big...ewww...but inshaAllah you will have a good and neat writing. Still no homework and ibu miss to help you with your homework so that i know what you are learning there.


Anway another day goes by and still many things ibu did not manage to accomplish with you both..May Allah make it easy..Allahumma Yassir Wala TuAssir.

School reopening

Assalamualaikum wbt to all

I found myself wanting to write about the big event that gonna happen tomorrow. New school session is beginning and Adik wil go to school at the age of 2 yr 5months....Masha Allah...ibu is abit worried and nervous and excited and all the feeling. Its almost midnight here but i found myself preparing for the big event tomorrow for you adik...get your clothes iron again...prepared the emergency change cloth..pre-prepared the lunch box ..you beg and toys in the beg ( so that you have something familiar close to you) the shoes and etc..ibu really hope ibu will not miss anything out as the bus gonna arrive pretty early 6.30am!. InshaAllah tomorrow ibu will join you to be in the school bus..stay at your school until inshaAllah you finish at 11.50am. Just hope  the school provide place for ibu to stay...else ..we will see how things are.

let just recap adik's milestone ... ibu is very worried on your toilet training...i just hope you are not the only one in the class  that have not yet master the toilet training....we basically get serious again about this toilet training after we come back from summer holiday in jun.so its been only 3months actually.... anyway Allah humma Yassir Wala Tuassir.

Then on your brestfeeding...Alhamdulillah you no longer suckle...the weaning process went smoothly n successfully ibu shall say. Although now and then you still miss susu and wants to see and touch susu. Ibu knows you two have been good friend all these while..so ibu let you have a skin to skin contact with susu..you cheek to my susu and you will say you want to sleep in that position.Ibu will say yes you may but only for a while and you understood. Masha Allah. How the weaning process started?...we started at the beginning of this ramadhan..the first day if im not mistaken..ibu put a plaster on both susu and told you that there is bobo/sakit/hurt....im sorry that ibu have to lie to you and ibu knows its not good to lie especially in Ramadhan..May Allah forgive me. For 4 days ibu let the plaster on and after that ibu decided to take it off but still telling you it hurts whenever you touch them and you believe me:( both you and your brother sympathize for me andfew days after that almost every time before you have nap in the afternoon and sleep at night you will insist that you need to look at susu. Just to know susu's condition seems to calm you down. and of course few week after that until last week you start having the yearning to be close contact with susu and until now you ask to be skin2skin contact with susu. AlhamdulillAllah all oes well with the weaning and you now heavily on 'susu bottle ' and 'chocolate drink' as substitute of my milk.

So inshaAllah again till next entry..need to sleep now so can be fresh for the busy and long day at school im sure.

Wassalam
