If you have elderly parents or an elderly grandma (like mine)  who is now 88, the hardest part is to make her have the appetite to eat. I dont blame them.  Well.. food lovers like us can turn picky eaters when we get to older age. Could be worst.. I am thankful, alhamdullillah, she is staying with my brother that she receives the proper care needed.  Our Worries The first iftar with her on the first week of Ramadhan, she could actually sat next to me and ate the assam pedas, cucur udang etc. she was just  fine. I sat with her, together at the sofa reciting 3 Qul and Ayatul Qursi. I asked her and reminded her of the names of all important people in her life. Looking at her weak condition, we almost cancelled our plan to have Iftar together at her house. All of us decided to have the iftar at Bkt Jelutong instead as Uwan was too weak to move.  I am not a medical doctor. But I could sense something is not right. Uwan was struggling with words and could no longer munch properly and n

What does it mean to have a migraine.. First, I have to say I envy those who's never had headaches in life. I have had it since teenager. Always had the generic KK panadols supply in my locker. Then I took a whole bunch of it to the States. Then, I learned about tylenol, advil, etc. Not so bad. It was considered mild. People get period pain, I hardly get one. But head aces run in the family, I guess (not all siblings, though). Ayah had it and well known for his ubat kaki tiga. I could still visualize the the way he sipped the powder that slide through from the folded wrapper. Then the ice cubes and the clothes wrapped around his head. It is not something strange to people around me to know I have a headache and I really mean, my life is on hold for a moment. I am not functioning at the moment with signages of "Do not Disturb", "Leave me Alone", "No lights please..." etc.      Yes..it ruins my days sometimes. It definitely disturbs my daily schedu

Name it Hari raya, Raya puasa, Eid, Aidilfitri, Syawal, or what ever, it is always best celebrated with families and relatives. This is the moment to get together, family members from near and far become one, reunited as family. Whatever brings people together is much more meaningful at this time of the year... sitting for hours eating and talking til late. Yes, Food and Stories bring people together. Laughters and Tears in between are parts of the decorations. This is a moment I treasure. Ramadhan and Syawal. When all of us, really find time to reflect. Alhamdullillah for another Syawal -Another opportunity to be together with our loved ones families and relatives. All our special  doa's and prayers with the barakah of the ramadhan for our parents who are not with us anymore. Life is a one-way street. No turning back. All the things happened in the past, cant be repeated. At Eid, is the best time to reflect and reminisce those moments with loved ones who are no longe
