Last Saturday we finally see our long-planned idea came to live. We had our first Garage Sale for the mosque. It was also the Haflah & Orientation day for the pre schoolers so we had our crowd of mosque goers that we can woo. Our makeshift 'store' was set up by 9 & stayed open til ard 4 after the Haflah was over. It was a day made sweeter when Amirul was rewarded for being placed 2nd in his Madrasah Class. After the day was over, tired as I was, I had a really good time at mending our little store while yakking & laughing away with my fellow Muslimah sisters and managed to raise quite a substantial amount for our Mosque fund.
I have to thank the husband of course who was tending little poxed girl Mira for the whole day while the ummi did what she had to do. Mira is recovering swiftly & the marks are slowly drying up as I reckon hers is just a mild case. So the spots are quite little & sparse. Thankfully it has also spared her dainty face, save for a little pimple-like mark just below her lips & tiny ones around her forehead - & yes, that was what the father was most worried about. He also have been extra vigilant, making sure that Mira did not scratch her body or face even if it means having to stay up all night applying Calamine lotion whenever he sees Mira just stirring to even touch her face. I hope it would be only a few more days of indoor quarantine for Mira as I am already excited to resume holiday 'activities' for them especially Amirul too who have been made to stay indoors to keep the sister company.
On a good front, Coffee Prince is showing on Channel U on weekdays again but I highly recommend watching it on cable or any dual-sound device as mandarin-speaking Han Keol & Eun Chan is just so salah....
