Iman - Playing Time
Here are some photos of Iman playing at the children playing ground in the Giant Hypermarket. It's been a routine after or before shopping, Iman would play here for short while if there were too many kids or longer if there were not many kids around. She was happy to go down the tunnel slide and refused to go down the open slide once she tried to go down the tunnel slide.
3rd Trip To Homeopathy Clinic - 04 Apr 2010
04 April 2010 - the 3rd time we visited The Clinic. This time we met the first doctor. Well, this time around Iman was behaving very well, better then before. She was just behaving like a child of course but nothing out of `ordinary'. The doctor also agreed about the changes in Iman's behavior compared to the first time he saw her. We had short discussion and the doctor suggest that if everything goes well she can stop taking the medicine after 3 months. This time we asked for her medicine to be in liquid form. So, we went home with her one month supply of liquid form medicine and hope for the best....
Life Starts At 40 ?
03 April 2010 - My 40th birthday
Yeah... day come and went... now I am 40 years old... old? huh... not really, not 140 yet !
Some people asked `how do you feel being 40, now?' What do you mean, `being 40 now??' I am just feeling fine, may be more grey hairs on my head now, so what? I am feeling strong, healthy and very much alive, thank you. I am used to telling people I was already 40 once I reached 30+ years and some people were surprised "Really? You didn't look 40 ?" Owww... really ? Hahaha ... How should a 40 year old looks like anyway ?? So, why should I be worrying about being 40? I am not worried at all, not a single bit !! Some said life begins at 40.... hey, wait a minute, what about all those 40 years before? are they not counted? were we not been living for the past 40 years... in fact I had been living more then 40 years actually, try count the time I spent in my mum's womb, was I not been living then? hhhmmm...life begins at 40? nonsense ! just a phrase created by people who were, sad to say, a failure for the past 40 years of their life? May be? or may be for some who couldn't face the reality of life, scared of themselves in fact, scared of looking at their own reflection in the mirror, scared of seeing wrinkles here and there... scared about their time, nearing to the end, may be?
Was I not worry about my wrinkles? Come on, there are many other important things to think about besides wrinkles. What about the time nearing to the end? Because of the time factor I should be living my life (to the fullest?); the right kind of life, not doing the things which I am not supposed to, I should be enjoying my time ( especially my time with my Iman ). I was young before, well, I might do some mistakes (who didnt?), that was before, now at forthy I won't repeat the same mistakes just to state that life begins at 40..no nonsense... I just hate it when people said it life begins at 40 (especially men !!)... just go on living, enjoy life and pray for the best, no matter how old I would be...
There... the best thing ever that I have at 40 - my baby Nur Iman Zarifah... I love you so much, Iman.
I dedicate this song In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride to my dear Iman:
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Iman & Mi
For the last few days I had been hearing the most wonderful word from Iman's mouth ... that was `MI' (short for UMI) .... yes, she `recognized' me now ! She's been calling me with that special word... how nice...I had been waiting for so long and at last she did it... how sweet ... to my ears...
Wonderful progress so to speak.
However, all her medicine had to be diluted in her milk now... if not, she won't take them by herself. May be next time we will ask for liquid form instead of tablet...

Second Trip To Homeopathy Clinic
21 March 2010 - 2nd trip to the clinic.
Today we met another `doctor'; a woman. We discussed about Iman's improvement; focussing better, more vocal, no spinning ( at least for the last 2 days), no hand flapping and responding to instruction better. Today I watched Iman did her block stacking... you know what? She didn't do it perfectly ... yeah... that's not one of the autistic characteristic isn't it ?? Actually, she never did stack anything `perfectly' not even once ! But, I could see her improved in her patience in doing the stacking. Yeah, we saw improvement in her... relieved ? ...thank God...
I had a nice chat with the lady doctor...may be because she is a woman (or may be being a mother herself?) so that she listened more to what I said ? We decided to take Iman' medicine supply for 2 weeks so that we don't have to travel every week. We also asked for Iman's runny nose medicine.
From what I had brief the doctor about Iman' history, she believed that Iman's case was not serious/severe and she was positive that Iman will be cured soon. She did tell me about few cases they treated successfully before - within 6 months to one year - cured
Looking at Iman's behavior today, she behaved better compared to the first visit - she didn't throw away the rubics cube she took from the doctor desk, she didn't pick up and throw the doctor's weighing scale apparatus (bought from IKEA ! the tag ?)... overall she was behaving well. Was that a sign that Iman is improving ?? I really hope so.
Iman... umi never stop praying that you will be okay soon. I really missed the happy chatty Iman I used to know before.
The medicine; the same as the last week (changed from small white tablet to orange in color and bigger size tablet because Iman didn't like the small white one)
