An Uninvited Guest - Part II

Remember the chicken that invaded my store room last August? Well, if you don't, you can read it here.

Well, guess what??!!! That same chicken made an appearance again during Ramadhan but it could not get in as I had sealed the house well from unwelcome invaders. Instead...

It happily settled outside, right at my storeroom's window to lay eggs. I was so fascinated with the whole process, I went trigger-happy. Zareef and Zara was given a live performance and went "OHHHHH... AHHHHHH" followed by 1001 questions on the whys and hows. Penat mak explain okay.


Look! I have fresh eggs in my own backyard!! Hehehehhe... How cool is that?!

Suatu Hari Di Hari Raya

Suatu hari pada hari Raya ke 7, seorang mummy sedang sibuk mengemas rumah. Mood mengemas punya la hebat sampai beliau telah mengvacuum, mengemop dan mengelap segala habuk with a vengeance (apa phrase yang sesuai dalam BM ye?)

Anyway, while I was busy mopping the living room, Zareef and Zara came to offer their help but was flatly declined (very kind of them but if they were to do it, I'd have to do double duty after they are done). Instead, I asked them repeatedly to sit on the sofa and stay off the floor till it is dry.

I guess they were feeling rather bored, so I asked Zareef to apply white shoe polish on his school shoes. Eager to please me, Zara ran ahead of his brother on the wet floor despite me shouting at her to stop but it was already too late. GEDEBUKK!! Down she went sliding on the wet floor macam Superman and cried she did like there was no tomorrow.

At first I thought nothing of it. Heck, she falls a lot and will always make a huge drama out of it. Picked her up and carried her over to the sofa. Suddenly I felt wet warm liquid dripping on my t-shirt. I looked down and almost fainted! A tiny stream of blood was trickling steadily from her chin. Ya Allah!! It was such a HUGE cut.

Not wanting to panic Zara (tapi aku dah panic nak mampos okay! nak menangis tengok!!), I called for B with a normal calm tone. Panggil dua tiga kali tak dengar, aku pun jerit je la.

We decided to bring Zara to Sunway Medical A&E to get her cut checked out. The doctor checked it and decided to stitched it up with three stitches. Oh the drama when he wanted to stitch Zara, Allah saja yang tahu. We had three nurses to hold her down with the addition of B and I. She cried and wailed and bawled her heart out. Zareef was traumatized by his sister's wailing and at the sight of the needle that he hid under the table and pulled a long face, refusing to see her.

After all is done, this is the end result;


Two days later, we came back for a change in dressing. While waiting for the doctor to attend to Zara, Mummy and Zareef sempat bergambar :D


I leave it to B to hold Zara down. Zara muka dah cuak nak jumpa doctor hihi...

But she was very, very brave about it. Didn't make a fuss about her wound being cleaned up because we promised her, she could have ice-cream after that which was so unlike her brother who demanded a gameboy even before the doctor could touch him.

Itu lah dia... cerita Zara yang jatuh dan kena jahit di suatu hari di hari Raya :D
