Why does it keep on coming?

Dear Blog,

God has really tested my patience this week.

Let's see how the week began.

  1. I forgot the due date to pass up the 4KL postmortem hardcopy.
  2. I had a call from my big sis Jenna at 2am in the morning of Tuesday saying Daddy got admitted to a hospital and that he almost had a stroke.
  3. I lost my stupid matrix card. Dropped it on the way to the Chow Kit monorail, to go home.

It's almost at the end of the week, so how is everything?

  1. I emailed the softcopy as soon as possible and there will be a mini meeting tonight at 9am (with lack of enthusiasm, saying "yay"). I'll be submitting that hardcopy tonight.
  2. Daddy was diagnosed as having a mild heart attack that morning. He did his angiogram yesterday and the doc said minor vessels were narrowed. He doesn't need angioplasty or bypass. Alhamdulillah =)
  3. God sent an angel in the form of an FSKB student who found my matrix card and gave it to my colleague, Aina. I got it back! WahooOOo!

All in all, I hope I passed this test with patience. I was on the verge of breaking down this whole week. Especially the dad-going-to-the-hospital incident. I cried till 3am and fell asleep afterwards. I've been going back home to visit my dad in the hospital and coming back the next morning for class since I got the news. I finally feel the youth seeping out of me, now.

To top it off, finals is around the corner. And I still haven't finished GIT module. Planned on finishing it by the end of this week, InsyaAllah. Wish me luck!

.a very tired l e n a.

Something freaky happened!

Dear Blog,

Mind you, I don't really believe in supernatural stuff.

But after my YM chatting session with my dear sister Jenna, I find that you can't really run from these sorta things. I'm pretty sure you don't really get what I mean, so here's how it all began.

Yesterday, after a long, long shift of photography for the UKM 4KL event, I walked the whole 9 yards back to my dorm. So, I think that was around 4pm++. I did my routines and dozed off til it was 6pm++.

At about 7.30pm, I went for a shower (of course at the washroom lah). So, when I returned to my room (which was aboout 7.50pm++) I noticed a missed call from Jenna. I text her saying sorry and stuff coz I didn't answer the phone call. I was having my shower. She didn't reply, though.

So this afternoon, I chatted with her at YM. She brought up that miss calling misunderstanding saying that she had a phone call from me, 30secs before she called me. The missed call I got from her was at 7.45pm, so that would make "my" phone call at about 7.45pm minus 30secs. Now, at that time I was DEFINITELY in the shower coz my shower time is a very, very long process. I take at approximately 30mins to cleanse my body everyday.

Jenna also said that when she answered my call, it was very silent, no wind blowing, fan moving...nothing. I told her that my room is very silent, but she said that there should be ast least some sorta sound because, phone mics are quite sensitive I guess.

Can anyone help explain this incident? I am right now freaked. I remember my next door neighbor telling me she saw the light in my room switched on one day during the weekend. Then I told her, that's not possible because I was at home that weekend. To avoid me getting freaked out and scared outta my wits, she told me that maybe she mistook the light from the carpark coming through my window. Sure Farah M., sure.
