Manners of Visiting the Sick

When to visit a sick friend yesterday and some relatives few months ago. It's good to pay a visit to sick people to show you concern and care about them. But, there are a few manners we have to keep. Here is a few tips:

• Say salam and ask the condition.
• Voice your concern.
• Pray for the health.
• Bring token i.e. fruit basket or money. (To lessen the burden)
• Avoid big group visit. (To respect the privacy)
• Avoid long chat. (Understand sick people need to rest)

Hope this help. Our present (visit) is appreciated enough, sick people do not need unnecessary talk.

Babywearing Walk

Dhia is walking! She got her feet on 18th August 2011. That was 3 days before her 13th month birthday. We were very happy. Now, she got new talent. Believe it or not!

That's my little teddy-wearer. So, you've got talent?

Last July we had a short trip to Brunei Darussalam (BSB) which practice 'Melayu Islam Beraja' (MIB). We drove our Mini Cooper aka Kelisa to Brunei via vehicle ferry. Afraid to bring the Myvi though as BSB's government does not permit tinted vehicle in Brunei - will be instructed to strip the tinted on the spot if you were to be spotted. It takes one hour from Labuan ferry terminal to reach Muara ferry terminal. A trip each day only. Sharing a few tips:
