hmm..got so much to write about. First thing, I was again late for the office! Yeah, what do you expect when I only get to catch some forty winks at nearly 5 in the morning? Reason? Here goes. I had just posted my entry here last night and was already in bed. Reading the book and trying to return his call (he misscalled me while I was jotting down the last entry) at the same time. When I heard a voice. Thinking it's my grandma snoring, I looked down on her (mine is a double bunk bed). But she was fast asleep. I heard the voice again. And this time, I just leaped off my bed. It's my grandpa. He's bending over, with his head down. Oh God! "Tok, kenapa ni?" I ran over to him, helping him out. My mom and grandma hearing the commotion also woked up. "Tok nak apa?" "Nak air." And that marks the beginning of a sleepless night. After that little commotion, we decided to retreat to our bedroom after seeing that he had fallen asleep. And me, back to trying to call him (having a bad reception on his side). Awhile later, after finishing our short conversation, I heard my grandma calling out to me. Ran over to the kitchen. Grandpa was on the toilet floor. He fell down again and my grandma is trying to help him out. I rushed over, helped him up and walked him slowly to his bedroom. Told me, he was hungry and wanted some biscuits. Made him some and he feel asleep again soon after. Thinking everything is fine now, we again try to get some sleep. But at this time, I was already worried. So I decide to read the book for awhile when suddenly I heard a very loud noise coming from my grandpa's bedroom. Again, I leaped from my bed. Grandma and Mom rushed out too. He was lying against the wardrobe, trying to get up. "Tok cari apa, sampai kat sini?" "Cari air." "Kan air ada kat atas meja tu." We were now very worried about the sudden change is his behaviour. So me, my grandma and mom decide to stay up. We were sitting down, talking about his condition when again I heard some noise. Rushed over to his room. Saw him sitting with his torchlight, shining it on the table beside his table. "Tok cari apa?" "Biskut, tadi kan letak sini." "Eh mana ada. Tadi kan Tok makan kat luar." "Tadi letak sini. Macamana korang cakap ni??!" He appeared agitated at this point. "Tok nak biskut ke?" "A'ahlah, nak makan. Iskk!" He was grumbling to himself. I rushed out, get him some biscuits and water. Soon after, he felt asleep again. By this time, it's already nearly 4 am. We were all getting more worried when he woke up from sleep suddenly and started to mumble to himself. And throughout the night, he kept waking up to ease himself. By around 5, he's already fast asleep. Told my grandma, I need to catch some sleep. Felt asleep with so much worries for him.




Moving on, the Iranian twins had been flown home early this morning after a prayer session involving the Singapore's Mufti Syed Isa Semait and Singapore's Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim, which were held at the Ba'alwie Mosque yesterday. Over a 100 members of the Iranian community also paid their last respect to the twins. Hope their souls rest in peace with their last wish fulfilled. To be separated. Semoga roh mereka di tempatkan bersama orang-orang yang solih, insyallah.




On another issue: Chewing gum is back! Yeah, it's finally back here after 11 years (wow..that's a very long time eh? And how old was I at that time..erkss! 15 years old only and being deny the luxury of chewing on a chewing gum..eheh! Well, I did got my share of it. A lot of it..) Rejoice chewing-gummers!! As for me, chewing gum doesn't really appeal to me anymore. But if I got the chance (with a little smuggling across the Causeway) or while I was across the Causeway, I helped myself to it. :)




So long entry isn't? That's about it then.

Hungry now.
