bismillaah

Alhamdulillaah, last week ibu has finished with the exams and we went to the hospital to get Adam's blood test and chest x-ray done. Adam got positive TB skin test earlier(which is normal for Asian/Malaysian babies since they've got BCG after birth), some people in the hospital told abah that Adam should not get the skin test because it will for sure be positive. The peds should just refer us to the x-ray instead. Btw, we've refused the test on Hajar, so she didnt have to go through the routine..only Adam(poor Adam). MashaAllah, that day was a rainy day, and the street was a very busy,big one way street with limited parking. The ones that were available had broken meter. so Hajar and ibu just sat and waited in the car for abah and Adam. It was a very long wait. Abah was tired, but abah told ibu that Adam was very happy playing around with things around him in the hospital, but Adam got a bandage on his arm where his blood was drawn into a 'big' vial.

As soon as Adam got into his seat, he grabbed a cookie and his blankie(tuala busuk), and soon fell asleep. Apparently he was very tired too.

After that, we went to masjid Umar and Hajar was very eager pointing at the Masjid and telling everyone that it was 'tempat se-ma-yang'. MashaAllah, Hajar was very happy to get into the masjid.

As a reward for everybody =), we went to Toko Rame, an Indonesian restaurant, afterwards. This Toko Rame is very special because not only it serves only HALAL foods(no wines whatsoever), it only takes cash!(no credit card = no riba'). The owner is also a practicing muslim, wears proper hijab etc. At one time during ramadhan, we even saw the waiter reciting Qur'an while waiting for customers. Earlier, we've googled for a Malaysian restaurant in the area which also serves Halal foods. Fortunately, Abah took the time to browse through their menus and found variety of wines and alcohol offered at the very end of the list. So, we've decided to go to Toko Rame, simple and mashaAllaah, offers variety of delicious Indonesian cuisines.

Both Hajar and Adam went to sleep earlier tonight. They might got tired of playing all day round, in and out the warm,cozy bedroom and the cold,freezing kitchen. They had just finished siblings fight before going to bed =). Adam 'accidentally' dropped the sipper cup on kakak's face and hit and hurt Hajar's lips. Both babies cried and eventually went to sleep.

InshaAllaah, we are planning to join the Muktamar in Texas and will start the journey on the day after tomorrow. Please make dua that Allaah make it easy on us with safe journey and return.
