Things that happened to you in 24 hours

Have you ever feel that so many things can happened to you in 1 day?? That's what happened to us yesterday.

It started with our normal Sunday routine, woke up in the morning with the sounds of my kids. Then we went out for breakfast at our normal stall for a glass of teh ice, roti canai and nasi lemak. Then off to my parents place to do our laundry(yes, I did my laundry at my parents place-we do not own a washing machine)

While I was doing my laundry, Amli will read Sunday papers and the kids will keep them amused by either playing with each others or playing with my sister's kittens.

At about 11am, we went back to our place and when we arrrived at out front gate, 2 boys approaced me and started selling the books, and CDs. They were from one of those so called 'private' sekolah pondok. I alwys pity them,so I wanted to buy few bookf from them, as I was about to ask how much were those books, Amli came and gave the boy RM5.00 and told him to buy drinks for both of them since they looked thristy. I had another idea, I just asked them to come inside and I will prepared drinks for them so that they can keep the fiver that Amli gave them. They looked a bit reluctant, I bet they must be thinking it is safe to follow this mak cik but I guess they felt safe seeing that I have 3 louds kids behind me. Once they were inside, Amli started asking them questions, where they from, which schools, how old are they. Both of them are from Johore but they went to school in Rompin, they are seelingthose books to help finance their schools and they are 14 years old. I felt so sorry for them but at the same time I admired them. They are willing to do go from door to door to sell things that most of people won't even thinking of buying so that their school can run and they can gain knowledge. I gave them a bag of goodies so that they can eat when they are hungry. I also gave them a bottle of water each since yesterday was a very hot day and they have to walk in the sun to sell RM15.00 books.

After they left, Amli and I were still talking about them, we were wondering why the school cannot get the fund form government. The parents that send their kids there are from low income earners and the schools cannot ask them for fees but at the same time, the school have to survive, they need to pay for the teachers who has to feed their families. It a vicious cycle that most of us are in it. That is I don't understand about our current government, they can send man to space that cost the tax payer millins of ringgit but they failed to see that they are many people that culd benefits from that money. Inilah yang dikatakan, monyet di hutan disusukan, anak di rumah mati kelaparan. Sungguh tak paham.

Another incident that happened to us yeaterday was a scary things, at about 12 noon I realised that Adriana had a slight temperature, and this brings warningbell to our head. Immediately we gave her fever medicine but her temp kept going up, Amli decided to bath her but on the way to our toilet, Adriana has a nother episode of seizure and this time it was really bad, her lips and fingers turned blue and we were panicking, tried my very best to wake her finally after seems like hours she was her old self. After that she was ok but at night her temperature was 38.7 and it kept flactuated which means that I did not sleep at all last night.

This morning while tyding up the kitchen, I realized all the above happened in 1 day and it seems lots for me to take. Today Adriana is still having her fever and luckily it is my off day so that I can looked after her. At the moment she is slepping maybe out of exhausted or because of the medicine, and it's time for me and Amli to have a serious discussion either we want to give her drug to prevent her seizure or risking havin another episode of seizure. It's hard become parents when it comes to this. I just prayed that whatever decision that we take, it will be the best for her.
