It's the 4th day of Ramadhan.
There is supposed to be a Buddies Board Meeting tonight and our meetings usually start latest by 8 pm, but taking into account my buka puasa and prayers including tarawikh, I won't be attending tonight's meeting and have asked the vice-chairman to chair the meeting. Ever since I joined Buddies, I have never attended meetings held during the month of Ramadhan as our meetings are held at night and I'd usually reserve my Ramadhan nights for my own religious needs. I hope the other members understand. If they don't, then they definitely need to choose someone else to be the chairperson in the next board elections. I oh so look forward to that... :-)

Remember in one of my earlier posts, I mentioned about Anita wanting to meet up with me after I come back from Bali? I had asked Anita to call me one day before her appointment, just to confirm. Well, Anita called me up this morning. She has an appointment at the GH tomorrow and asked if I was free to see her. Since we both can't be too sure what time she'd be done with her appointment, I told her to call me once she's done. I was rather curious at first as to why she wanted to see me when I'm not her assigned buddy, but since my colleague had given me a "sneak preview", I do know a bit about the "plot". Sounds serious, but I can only get a clearer picture tomorrow when I meet her.

Sharifah is finally working back at her home state. It's a part-time job at a shopping complex. Puan Nur had wanted her to come home and get a job so they can at least have some extra income for Raya.
As for little Cek Mek, I called Kak Ana at the shelter home today but she wasn't in. But since it was Kak Ana's daughter who answered the call, I asked about Cek Mek's status. According to her, the doctor said the results of the blood tests are not known yet. Which is rather weird I must say - it has been more than a month since the blood test was done. When I asked about the baby's medication, I was told the little girl is still being given medication but it has been changed to another kind of syrup. I am concerned really, because most of the other babies born to HIV positive mothers would stop taking the medication after 1 or 2 months, and they never had to change to the other syrup usually given to positive babies. I just hope it is just a precautionary measure because Cek Mek is considered a high risk baby since hers was a normal delivery and her mother started taking ARV medication rather late in her pregnancy.
Please, please, please... let it just be a precautionary measure...

More money is coming in for the poor families I'm dealing with. I'd better make sure they reach the intended recipients before Raya.
That means more shopping and more house visits to come... SOON!

Always the ever-caring Pi..so nice to be able to help others kan Pi? Your pahala berguni2!
Mamasita,
Laa... sejak bila pulak boleh kira pahala pakai guni ni? :)
Anyway, ni bukan kira pahala tak pahala... tapi kena carry out amanah la. And yes, self satisfaction is a big boost too.
i setuju pi. buat baik utk pahala tak berpahala. :D
btw, i tumpang worried gak takde berita conclusive abt yr little cikmek.
Mekyam,
I found out from Kak Ana that for some reasons they couldn't get any results from first blood test (yang depa susah sangat nak keluarkan darah cekmek tu).
So memang confirm it is a precautionary measure. Cekmek however masih belum masuk zon selamat lagi.
