Iktikaf : 26 morning and 27 night

Another night with the mozzies. I thought it was a good location until the mozzies attacked us. Z couldn't sleep and neither could I. Rasa macam nak menangis. Orang takde lah ramai mana pun, and I was left wondering why we were among the only ones attacked by mozzies. I noticed someone near us was also having difficulty sleeping.

I actually googled at that time, if VCO (virgin coconut oil) could act as mosquito repellent. I smeared some on the mozzie "bitemarks" on my skin. Oh what a night.

We somehow survived. At 4.15 i went to take a bath. Makan sahur, then solat sunat. Ofcourse I was sleepy, that was undeniable. But was going to leave for home, so at about 6.45 we left.

At home I washed two loads of clothes and hanged them before finally bunking beside Z. And oh, ofcourse I gave the kids a bath FIRST when we reached home. So i think i slept at about 10.30am. Ahh it felt good to sleep.

I woke up quite 'late' though, at about 3pm. It was raining. Took my wudhu, solat zuhur and kemas beg for the remaining 4 days of iktikaf.

Reached the mosque at about 6.15pm after we went to get some pampers and made a cash deposit.

Magrib went by uneventful, though i had both kids with me. But i was determined not to have Z with me during terawikh. Passed her to Abu M and he put her in the nursery. I don't want to be the one to leave her there, because I don't like to leave my kids to absolute strangers.

Anyway, so Musa stayed with me during terawikh. I let him play with the Iphone. Well, I rarely do!

At 10 we left to get some mosquito repellent. Went to PKNS but it was closed. So Abu M drove all the way to seksyen 18 to go to watson.

There were probably more people than usual on the 27th night, because people were practically sleeping side by side in the compound.

After rubbing the mosquito repellent in boths kids, we slept. Alhamdulillah no mozzies at all.
