Harris' pioneer writing ( 02/11/11)



Last night, Harris surprised me big time. he took a pen and that letter from a bank which was lying on the bedside table then and scribbled those lines in front of me! don't know when and where he learns to hold the pen. probably when i was at work, as he spends most of his day time with my toddler cousin. his cognitive and neurodevelopmental achievement blossom exponentially these days. and oh, i should have mentioned in earlier post, he has learned how to sip from a straw too. We bought this bottle with one-way valve straw many months ago , only now he learns the wonder of  sipping from a straw.congratulation  son.

and that books were bought all the way from France by a friend of mine. Harris loves the pictures inside it. he flipped it eveyday so far. waiting for the day he d speak his first French word :)

waiting for the call

harris and  his ducky back. walked against the flow and crossed randomly whenever he wished with his squeaky shoes. oh boy.

in conjuction with the Hajj month , i would like to share with you this peaceful song by irfan makki - waiting for the call .. he does eerily sound like michael jackson..




Miles away, oceans apart
never in my sight always in my heart
the love is always there it will never die
only growing stronger a tears rose down my eye
I am thiking all the time
when the day will come
standing there before You
accept this Hajj of mine

standing in ihram, making my tawaf
drinking blessings from Your well
the Jali to Safa and Marwah
rekindles my imaan

O Allah! I am waiting for the call
praying for the day when I can be near the Kaabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
praying for the day when I can be near the Kaabah wall

I feel alive and I feel strong
I can feel Islam running in my Veins
to see my muslim brothers, their purpose all the same
greeting one another, exalting one True Name
I truly hope one day that everyone  would have a chance
that they remember you in everything they say
standing in ihram making my tawaf, making my tawaf
drinking blessings from your well
the Jali to Safa and Marwah
rekindles my imaan
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
