myself

February is here already. For the last four years, February hold very meaningful memories. On February 27, 1995 we had sweet, sweet Nawarah. We had her at home for one night. Then we had to leave her in the hospital for a week over the Hari Raya because of some fever. She had to endure needle pricks on her tiny hands and feet. Worse still, the doctor had to take her spinal fluid. Alhamdulillah, after a week, she came home to us as healthy as any baby could be.

February the following year, DH had to make a very important decision. There was an offer to take up a job in the private sector. That meant having to leave the security of being a government employee, and venturing into a totally new environment. After a whole month of soul-searching, DH decided to leave for the new job. The new job took DH about 500 km away from the kids and I. That was hard for all of us. Tasnim took it very badly, and it affected both his schooling and his character.

Luckily in February, 1997, DH was back at home since August, 1996. Although most of the time DH was at the office, at least we had him at home at night. A month later, DH was recalled to his HQ again. This time it looked like it was for good. Again the kids and I had to manage on our own. Tasnim was getting almost unmanageable. I was almost on the verge of pulling out my hair in exasperation.

Alhamdulillah, this year, we are a family again. After two months moving to KL, Tasnim is back to his old, good-natured self. February, 1998 also bring a new beginning for me. I'm moving on to a new working place. A position with new frontiers and challenges for me. I am looking forward to this new job.
