The Madness Within

The madness within peaks through
Like the sun through the broken window
I scream from inside
Yet no one can hear me
my scream go unheard
The madness builds with age
Like the rage
I feel meaningless
No good

I'm surrounded by family
But no one can hear me
I begin to conceal emotions
They grow and grow
The environment around me pauses
And I put on display
I know I'm different
Not the same
The rage shows its ugly face
I thrashes and bangs
I'm still screaming
The world I knows
Is not the world I knew
I'm screaming louder, louder, loudest
My mind races to find the answer
The long sleep. The long sleep
The madness within, rest

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset. I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.

Father and Son: Building Bonds

As a mom, there's nothing quite as heartwarming as watching the special bond between my son and his dad unfold. Lately, their quality time has evolved into a full-blown workshop, and it's been an absolute blast to witness. From the rhythmic clanking of wrenches to the quiet concentration over tiny circuits, their shared passions are creating some truly unforgettable memories and some pretty cool projects too. So, let me tell you all about the incredible, grease-stained, and glue-covered world of my favorite father-son duo! Gearing Up: Motorcycle Mechanic Masters-in-Training! My son absolutely lights up when his dad pulls out the tools for a bit of two-wheeled maintenance. This isn't just about "fixing" something; it's a full-on lesson in mechanical stuff.
