So if anyone of you meet me and look me in the eyes, don't be surprised to see both of my eyes are red. They're red all the time. Don't worry, it's not conjunctivitis and it's not contagious. The new eye drop that helps to lower my eye pressure is the culprit but I'd rather have red eyes than having my eye pressure sky rocketed. I told the doctor I would continue with the drop but there are quite frequent explanations to be done when people comment on my red eyes. My eyelids are drooping as well that make my eyes which are already small, smaller but it's not due totally to glaucoma but also due to aging. In the morning, my vision is not so clear and my eyelids open just a fraction. Dr. Tajun recommended me to do some minor plastic surgery to open up the eyelids. Ah..... that's the hassle if you suffer from glaucoma and aging but I am eternally grateful to Allah for giving me time till now to enjoy the world.
I am quite a delinquent in exercising since I have Rania and spent most of my time in PJ. I know, my doctor has repeatedly reminded me to exercise regularly as the exercise will help to regulate the blood flow to the eyes. Like many others, I have tons of excuses why I don't do it but they're just excuses. My daughter Maz paid and persuaded me to go to the gym with a personal trainer to attend to me. I did for a while but when fasting month came it was a convenient excuse to stop going. Not long ago, it was me who made noise when my children didn't do what they were supposed to do but now my children played the part of parent. To have peace, I went again last Friday and I promised my dayghters and myself that I would go regularly. God, help me to keep my words please!!!
Now I avoid driving at night or if it is hazy because of heavy rain, unless the road is familiar to me. My eyesight is not good enough to keep me safe on the road in that condition. But I hope I have many more years to write my blog and do things independently, insyaallah.
Sight is a precious gift from God. So please take care before it's too late.
Early in the morning with red eyes and Rania is sleeping peacefully in my arms 260910

to inform mama, i will temporary switch to special education feild, n i will start this new job on oct.
i found that i love to work with children since i start conduct my counselling service to children at current counselling centre.

perhaps i will have enough money n time for narrative therapy, play & santray therapy, art therapn courses coz i aware that i must posses variety approach when deal with child counselling cases.
and i wish to approach more special kids coz i have most less knowledge in this feild n our society are still lack of knowledge in these. so i wish to learn n gain more experience through this job.
wish u all the best... miss u...
I wish you well, Mama... I think, since you are devoted to Rania, you may include her in your exercise regime (e.g.: take her to an evening walk around the park etc.). all the best in your health, Mama. Our prayers for you.
Jenice, if you are interested, do continue studying. Masters in Clinical Psychology will give you adequate knowledge, skills and training on children.
As I myself believe that it is not easy to counsel children as they have very little insight, I think behavioral method is rather useful in dealing with children. Clinical Psychology offers vast knowledge and training on that. Contact me if you are interested to know more.

Jenice and Arfah,
TQ for your prayer. I am back to exercising again and hope I can keep up. Arfah, parents Rania bawa dia exercise kat Bangsar Village Mall setiap hujug minggu!
Jenice, I am glad you have found your niche of interest. Agree with Arfah, your other alternative is Clinical psychology at UKM. Try it and good luck. TQ for updating me.
Mama
