MISS CHEAH AND NURIN WAFA

I had a persistent headache today. To make matters worse, Puan Asiah had to go attend to some official matters in the morning and I was left to mind the library for a good part of the day. Thank goodness Ustazah Roslina came a bit later to relief me and I could go to the Herb Garden to examine the Pondok Ilmu. At around 1.10 p.m., Cikgu Zainal Shah had wanted to bring his students to the library but I told him that I needed to close the place for a while as I needed to eat lunch at the school canteen. After that I had to open the library from 2.00 p.m. for Sharveen to come and help key in the data in the library management system. He would later be joined by the other librarians who had gone back to eat, bathe and pray. When Puan Asiah came back in the afternoon and took control of the counter, I heaved a sigh of relief as I could concentrate on the filing system and also printing notes on the Foster School Program. In addition, at 2.30 p.m. Cikgu Daniel and I wanted to discuss the SALC, wireless system and the ICT laboratory with our senior principal, Puan Siti Arfah.

By 4.30 p.m I had to really call it a day as the painkillers I took for the headache was taking its toll on me and I told myself that I had to relax a bit and invited Puan Kamariah and Nurin to go with me for a meal. Yeah, Tuan Haji Hasnin keeps telling me that I am not young anymore and should take care of myself and not fall sick. I was told to eat proper meals and not to overwork. I have a tendency to get migraines if I do not have enough sleep or am very tensed.

One thing that helps me relax is by being with little children. During the weekends, I have my nephew and niece to play with but during week days, I have to borrow Puan Kamariah's Nurin to act as a stress buster. Besides, haven't you notice that very young children have a very nice smell about them? I especially like cuddling and kissing my little niece and nephew, Jamie and James after their baths. I am sure all of you would agree with me, right?
