My Little Story

Some are gifted. some need to work hard. Me? I choose the smart way;)

so, yeah. i've always had weight issue. not the one with morbidly obese or anything, just that i hate the number on the weighing scale. i was happy with my body, full stop. if not for the number. the static number that who never seemed to budge no matter how much i exercise or how less i eat. that number has been staying with me eversince high school. f3 kot. eversince, i despise that number. i guess the first number makes the diff..ppl said i looked a little chubby normal, i know im not-that-bad but i just hate the number. that's all. oh and i have difficulties finding decent clothes, decent loose comfortable clothes.

i came to melb with that number. i almost give up with that number. to my biggest horror, it went up by 4 digit in my 2nd year here..i almost fainted. i'm sure my face was about to blow out by then. and to my dad's horror, my face started to have pimples. what's all these?? crazy lahh...kalau dah abah pun pointed out to the zits, must be something lah kan. memang tak bleh lupa.

ahh well, what to do. i got away with zits but not as easily with the weight though. in the end, home country helped me to get rid of the excess. back to square one. that static number. so, yeah. ran out of idea already. i started to avoid the scale. i know i lost some of the number last year but i dared not to jump on the scale for months, cos i dont wanna see that static number again. till i decided to try Herbal1fe (HL). for the record, i initially thought of my sister when i first read about it HERE but alang2 tuh, why not try it for myself. tp silapla cos i dont have my exact initial measurement, all i know i was 2kg less than the haunted number;) nevermind, i still went ahead. in the middle of it, i gave her THIS, just to share the satisfaction. just after one month of extensive HL(read: twice shakes daily+ regular teamix), i already felt the difference. still, i avoided the scale. but i took note of the inches, skin complexion, energy level and metabolism. well, just say everything's worth for the money. Tell ya, investment needs determination. so when i dare enough to hop on the scale again, i smiled with great satisfaction.

i'm sure i'm doing my body good favour with HL cos it suffers less and less migraine-cum-gastritis because the simplest-healthiest meal is just a blend away; have higher metabolism cos i seemed to be eating everything under the sun now, apart from once shakes daily and drinking teamix religiously (tips: if u feel guilty for sacrificing ur shakes because u have dinner invitation, fret not. replace it with teamix); enough soy protein for my complexion; running around the hospital for long hours energetically; yummylicious shakes; boost up my confidence and above all, got to wear all the decent clothes loosely and comfortably. yeay!

here i am, 7kg lighter than the static number. 5kg courtesy of HL. so, yeah. i couldn't write more than this.

Mine

Ape-ape jelah..

nak tahu ke?

tak suka weekend. weekend yg takde ape2 nak buat. ada, kemas bilik basuh baju keluar makan. tak suka pagi weekend, nanti sedih.

byk nak tulis tp tanak tulis sini. nanti sedih lagi.

hari khamis byk sgt gelak. tahan gelak dalam library. komen2 sgt kelakar. ke, aku yg merepek? aku tak tipu tau pasal kisah video klip tuh. ada satu cerita lagi kelakar masa dlm ward kat HSA, JB. tapi kena cerita depan mata, baru penuh expression. rugi hani, kita tak duduk dekat. kalu tak mesti aku dah cerita. mesti kita dah gelak golek2.

peah, rindu kau. nak ngadu kat kau. kesat air mata.

dah kata dah, tak suka weekend. nanti nangis.

takut nak call. taknak call lagi, taknak fikir lagi. biar dulu.

bilik dah renovate. atas meja merah ada groovychicks, spongebob dan ape lagi ntah. ada keepsack jugak. tampal kepingan kalendar utk cover pintu, tapi bila hampar sejadah jadi mengadap kartun pulak. macam mana?

baru realised, bukan kali pertama. org kata tak baik pahit, ye ke? hidup seadanya. macam mana boleh berulang? lepas ni, taknak dah. tak adil. tipu.

taknak balik msia. taknak teringat, taknak tengok, taknak ingat, taknak rasa, taknak pendam, taknak nangis malam-malam. taknak dah. taknak dah. sakit.

nangis lagi. nanti jadi macam kassim selamat. pedih mata.

jangan datang dekat. tak percaya. tipu.

jahat.

Not yet..almost, maybe

This is what happen after 4 weeks of 730-530 in the unit (minus an afternoon i let myself off everyweek)

-strangely remember the name & bed of patients by heart. also their faces, likely their problem too.

-get this special feeling whenever called by name honey or darling or sweetie or love. warmth...

-almost tempted to just find a place in the hospital and sleep after the long day, the thought of walking back to the bus stop and then home tires me already.

-ache-y thighs and legs from the brisk walk every morning and evening, for the sake of not missing the bus. pedestrian is a hard job.

-to be remembered by the theatre's nurse, whom i only introduced myself once.

-realised the big difference it made to have a totally-the-opposite-from-the-previous resident.gggrruuaayyytt!!

-to my shame, the fellow never failed to greet me everyday or every surgery. which it should be the other way round.

-i dont have anyone to feed, so my last nasi was 3 days ago...thank GOD there's halal nasi campur on campus, otherwise it would've been 5 days record. oh yes, i wasnt feeling well so forced myself to stop and buy a pack.

-9pm came down to 830pm. what i enjoy more is to wake up few times, say 12am, 3 am or 445am and could still go back to sleep till it strike 5am. heavenn..

-the easiest way to avoid guilt for not studying at night is Grey's. kehkehkehkeh...

Rolling on the floor laughing

dengan ini, jelaslah bahawa aku masih LPU...

Past remains past

I'm being human again.who seem to overlook good in others, but wondering why things are different now, than what she/he got from me as trouble or sorrow approached in the past. when i have always been there, attending to the grimace. trying my best to make sure everything's ok, nevermind the time and difficult mood. put down my own issue to make sure she/he feel not alone.

only to realise that ppl do leave each other once they have found their happiness. ppl do forget each other.
truth in life, checked.

am i fair to say this is unfair?
i'm sure i'm asking too much.

same mistake doesnt happen twice. none of this will be told to the face.

it, erm...hurts though.

I am RICH..

with sisterhood...of the many.

she, of whom i wrote to with hands busy weeping off the tears only to feel comfort after clicking 'send' button. even time doesnt allow any reply sometimes, i've found my warmest hugs.

she, of the many finally found her love and got hitched. I felt overwhelmed with joy on her BIG days, both solemnisation and reception as beautiful as she was. whatever i pray for my blood-bonded sister, i pray for the same to her in her new life; cos only GOD knows how much she's done to make me of who i am now. she, of the many who stay with me while others come and go.


she, of the many who have totally diff outlook about life than me and never failed to return my msg attending to my low time. something not everyone could commit to, i must say.

TLC that goes beyond ocean and time differences. that allow me to cry hard in front of the monitor while talking to them..and pain is halved.

to hear or read their worries about exams pumped my adrenaline and put me in anxiety state. i could only wish to be before them to help with revision and changed from '..I' to '...we' in my prayers.

to know their victories and success, it feels like all the qualification and joy's are mine.

to realise creatures with XY chromosome have been a total B**T**D to them, i swear i wanna kick dick hard slap and punch hard.

to realise that i could be just another long-lost-junior-only-to-be-found-virtually, but honoured as the one and only reader of thought. priceless.

non-existent absence. they live around me. we grow up together.

with that, i'm officially announcing myself as the candidate for the 19 grumpy old woman with a driver-cum-gardener-cum-entertainer plan. guilty as charged.

Gush

I may not wish to disclose the content of email for personal preference but would like to excerpt this...

my final year may not be all about exams, but i've got at least 5 supervisors to impress to get good pre-intern assessment. and i knew i didnt the last time i did it in msia. in fact, i reached my breaking point while working hard to reach the high-sky expectation. toughest time of all when ur so close to finishing, only to realise ur so far away. again, tears and fear were the dreadful company. only that i've gone back to the basic, ALLAH the GREATEST. as my bro's saying, i shuld do my best before accepting any failure than not trying my best and fail. and my belief also said so, HE will grant me whatever i deserve. even if the worst happened to me, i will not let myself stop there. i've got so much personal satisfaction and worthiness that i need to work on in this field and i cant stop half way.

as i wrote some time ago. this gush of urge to share this came while i was hopping from meddie's to meddie's. feeling for their pain, feeling sorry for them that their meddies' years went that way. i have no intention to offend anyone, any place or any educational system but i know where does the feeling roots from. cos i've touched it once and it drowned me. the feeling of worst, nauseating. dragged me down to the level i've never imagined i would be or survived. but i did. even at the point of writing this imagining the feelings, nauseating. to know that i choose to brave through the feelings again next year and after, for the name of family and little comfort, nauseating.

i need to ackowledge how lucky, chosen i am to experience the opposite here. away from the so-called homeland.

here, i was told and reminded that i could not possibly know everything. the only difference i can make is to know where to find the knowledge and who to get the wisdom. its should not be tough, instead its gonna be fulfilling. its gonna make u a better person, change u for what ur worth.

here, i seldom feel the discrepancy. of BIG doctors and small doctors, as of laymen term. i observed and fascinated at the hands-in-hands achievement. i immersed myself in the non-existent border between the layers of hierarchy and realised i could only dream of the same after finishing this.

here, i may struggle with being minority. not the nicest feeling, fair enough. of turning into an introvert and chose to be the quiet almost invisible shadow in the crowd but i could feel contenment. of being able to push myself a little bit more each time and reward myself justly with shopping trip and restaurant visits.

here, i appreciate my student's life as much as i appreciate people. i envision my future daunting working load as a little contribution to others' life. of being able to care and be human. i pray and hope that regardless, my intention does not change over the years.

trust me, i would not be able to become little miss genius, i do not work for that. i just want to make differences in people's life.' insya Allah, the nawaitu.

trust me, i am as scared as those of u who are struggling with papers and examiners. if only i could let you know that last year, the graduation dinner's over only to be told that there would be board of examiners' meeting less than a week away from the grads day, to decide those who actually need to withold their scroll-receiving ceremony. based on 5 pieces of paper, written by diff person who may have set up diff expectation and diff measures to grade a student. nothing of exams or orals or OSCE. i've seen how much it took away the excitement from the faces i very much knew had tried their best. i'm hiding my anxiety, my fear and my lacking confidence that i've meet the expectation of the person in previous rotation. this, will haunt me till december. how does that feels to you?

i'm holding tightly to my bro's words above. i shuld do my best before accepting any failure than not trying my best and fail. that way, i would not have any regret. that way, i'm accepting any possibilities after giving my best. that way, i strengthen my belief to the up above. that way, i dont mind braving thru the chilling 630am and return home 12 hours after that. that way, i realised how much knowledge and whispering satisfaction i gain from being the final year's.

dont make it any harder to urself.

What distract me..

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no lie
I defy

[CHORUS:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm comimg clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind

[CHORUS]

I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean

[CHORUS]

Let's go back
Back to the beginning

~C0me Clean~

What someone can do to another

woman: I'm scared..

~Grey's 0217~

ahh well. i'm taking my own sweet time with this series and hate to admit, tears were wasted over this episode. eyy, be strong lah!

Words of reminder

(i very much prefer my initial writing about this, only to lose it during the bad internet connection...)

8am-5pm lectures/simulation/workshop is tiring but at the same time, here's

Human error is human nature- we're not trying out excuses but stating a matter of fact. stupid mistakes, lame mistakes or careless mistakes are all created annotation to make us feel less flawful, when the truth is human is fallible no matter how good/experienced they are. there'll always be hindsight bias where people would go in disbelief about how anyone could commit that straight-forward mistakes when actually it doesnt seem so when the event is taking place. ahh an easier example, can anyone explain why the handbag is in the kitchen cabinet and bread loaf is on the study table?
as we are aware that error is not acceptable, we still need to acknowledge of the possibility. just like u pray and wish ur loved ones to be treated in the best possible way, we meddies say our Bismilllah before anything. there's no 100% in medicine and we cant promise u anything perfect.

Profesionally human- while some chose anxiety over procedures and the absolute NO's for junior doctor, some others voiced out concern for the personal impact and long hours next year. any profesionals remains human. full stop. no amount of successful major surgery or finest advancement in medicine could trade human relationship.
Regardless, different people put different values to different things. i would still die with a smile being a mediocre doctor, provided that i've made small diff in ppl's life. less pay or not. know-it-all or not.


Be in the scene, understand- its a lot easier to point out what they should've been doing to manage patient who crashed during the simulation, only to find us fumbling with IV line and blood taking in the next slot. everything seems straight and easy when we are playing the role of observer but once we are in, it become maze.
I have been at both end. the one feeling beyond hopeless and the one trying to rise someone up from hopelessness. the former is nastier but only by experiencing it, i could do better with the latter.


A step forward and stop-we thought we're playing smart by writing up 24 hours plan for fluid balance in patient who's severely dehydrated, when all we need to do is actually give a bolus of fluid stat and re-assess.
We love to look for the future. we love to anticipate that it'll go this way and i'll continue that way. we thought that by having everything's in plan would make things easier for us but sometimes, it's ok to take a step at a time and reflect. we see how things go and we work from there.


Learning curve for everyone- we may failed our attempt to put first IV drip, or successfully did it for several times only to find it difficult to get on one of those days.
We need to overcome the nauseating first experience, to prove to ourselves that we could actually do it. once we're done with that, we feel less shivers down the spine. even so, bad days will never go away. only remember that there'll be tomorrow, day after tomorrow or next year. if u read this surgeon's writing on doing IV and taking blood in his early years of meddies, u'll feel the familiarity with how ur doing at the moment.

That's the take home message for all.

Pandang depan

as i moved into single room this yr, i kept the light on for a few days before i jumped on the bed to sleep. just for safety precaution. then, i started to turn off the light and getting the light from computer. once in a while subconsciously, i turned off both and hide cover myself up under the quilt before everything became bleak dark. try not to think too much.

it was all fine.

last night i turned off both n purposely got myself a streak of light from the 1cm-opened door. suddenly, my one-and-only-for-now housemate came to the door and asked me something. upon leaving, i casually said

'jgn tutup rapat. takut'.

i KNEW it!! i KNEW it was coming. that BIG EYES. that purposely BESARKAN DAN JEGILKAN MATA. then off she left. leaving me...

arghh&***@!)*^

the next thing i heard

'ARGHHHH BENCIIIII KAUU!!!!!! tak kira tak kira, nak tido bilik ko jugak!!'
her evil laugh from behind the wall.

and of course, i jumped off the bed and slept with the light on.

***********************

earlier in the morning, i got myself confused. i just realised that i've been regarding myself as 22 years old, if not 23. i shaked my head vigorously in case that tiny bit of memory got stuck anywhere but i still thought of the same. i confused myself even more by thinking hard

'eh, shuldnt i be thinking about marriage or at least settling down if that's my corrected age..like most others are doing when they're at that age'

ahh well. i am 22 =)

Holy Journey

i wished my parents safe journey, regards to my younger sister. May they find solitude and blessings in this 2 weeks' period, as HIS guests...

adik, this is the best SPM gift one could ever ask. still, I cant believe ma-abah decided to put u forward in the list and beat me behind.

Insya Allah, my turn will come this Ramadhan.

Keep swimming, keep swimming

it felt better after the tears.

Taste of pre-intern year

i arrived home (in Melb) around mid-day of sunday. suffice to say, the journey ended up with 15hours of total, instead of the usual 7 hours.

i failed to get up at 5am the following morning (what do u expect? it's 3am msian time and i'm knackered out) and one test after another. missed the bus, mistaken the bus's monthly pass for something else in my purse, penniless. courtesy of the bus driver, i reached BH. but it's not the end. vascular surgical team was very fine, only that the resident (one level above intern position) was quite nasty. i was scolded for being unsure of how to write the notes in medical files(i'm sorry miss, but today's actually my very FIRST DAY in BH, my very FIRST DAY as final year meds in melb, my very FIRST DAY in your unit..and even if u think i'm dumb, u can talk to me nicely, thank you..well, actually..u reminded me of future experience in msia ) one look after another, i chose not to edge. my gratitude to the registra(position above resident) and fellow(position above registra, below surgeon) for making it up by treating me, the usual manner any medical student should receive.

as i walked away from hosp, i patted my back for braving the day. unedged. very much tired from all the walk (40 mins total), bus ride (60 mins total), hosp hour (9 hours) and tormented soul. even so, i prayed that night for the next day to be better.

it became so. tried hard not to step on the resident's shoes but at the same time, improving myself. 5am (3am msia time, remember?) had been my wake-up time for the rest of the week. meals all over the place as i only went into the kitchen for water, not cooking. prayed every morning that my day will be eased and everynight for all the strength and blessings given to me.

4 days of hard job for me. tough maintenance. nevertheless, unedged n prayed.

but i was rewarded justly by HIM on friday. scrubbed in and assisted in carotid endarterectomy (open up blood vessels in the neck to take out plaque or else it'll flow into the brain and cause stroke-yes, thats for u SMOKER and high fat dieter). the fellow and me, my name in the operation notes. again, that look from the resident but i care no more. deep inside, i know she's doing me a good favour. to be a tough cookie.

i am the FISH.

***********
him, who reminded me to pray hard and not to be too negative.

her, who teaches me to talk to ALLAH every morning and night...seeking HIS help and thanking HIM for all the grace.

my brother, who reminded that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

my mum, who wants me to make full use of doa' as the ultimate help.

her, who promised to keep her prayers with me.

her, who assure me that things are tough but they'll get better so need to hang in there.

i thank them.

hopefully after reading this, u'll understand why i keep on emphasizing that herbalife is NOT ONLY about weight and inches. it is also about HEALTH and WELLBEING, indeed.

When love means letting go

Ku mengerti perpisahan ini
Bukan kerana kau membenci
Tapi kasih yang pernah ku beri
Tiada lagi bersama

Sering, kala aku terlihatkan mu
Impian nan indah bersulam bahagia

Ku harungi hari demi hari
Bersama wajah tak mungkin akan kembali
Tapi hati masih tak terima
Ditinggalkan sengsara

Keraguan ini bukanlah padamu
Perasaan hati masih rindu
Kekalutan ini hanyalah untukku

Tercari-cari bayanganmu
Tak sanggup aku kehilangan
Kehilanganmu…
Masih tercari-cari…

Keraguan ini bukanlah padamu
Masih tercari-cari bayanganmu
Tak sanggup aku kehilanganmu

=)

Something from the song

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah
Oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines, yeah yeah
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
-Unwritten-

Thanks R for the song. I've been carving the words into my mind to brave through future tomorrow's. It really takes the inner courage in ourselves to determine who and how we'll be, or so i believe.

Foreign-Home Land

safe and sound, although days prior to departure were emotional ones. tears came down, uncontrollably.

as much as i'd wish to keep life personal, i just have to admit it's been very much trying for myself and i'm so vulnerable. that's why if you are to bring more confusion, sadness or anything like that to me in near future, just dont. thank you.

i wanna change myself. from a person who used to take note of everything to someone who's unconcerned. from a person who used to work hard to please other people and be nice to someone who put herself first. from a person who often lose her temper over something subtle-but-matters-to-her to someone who said to herself 'it's ok, it's not ur problem but theirs. if they think it's wrong they'll change but if they don't, its not ur fault. just, whatever'. from a person who used to believe in everything people said to someone who shrug off and remember that promises could never go beyond sweet talk.

ahh well.

even with list of things to deeply worry, grieve and be bitter about; at the end of the day i go on believing that everything's in HIS hands for HE is my ultimate HELP. i shall remain hopeful for the day my patience to be paid off. even if it doesnt reach there, i am hopeful to HIM. and that's all i need.

It's time

I'm leaving again.

i know it'll a lot lonelier. i know there'll be less people there for me.i know a lot of changes i need choose to adapt.

but no matter what, i need to brave through it all. no matter what, i need to toughen myself up. myself.

ahh well. whatever.

just, WHATEVER.

bye, malaysia.

Pause

Everything came down to me. if everyone would have a moment of uncertainty in this journey, that was mine.

where's the passion i used to have and love?

It can't be just...anyone

maybe,rare breed.

when others may thought that he is such a blur and so expressionless in his acting, i find him appealing in his own naivety way. haha, random i know. i love his subtle-ty in expressing himself. i am attracted to his i couldnt-care-less attitude to the world, but care enough about people to be emotional.he gives me this comfort feeling, if i could describe it why. dominant but nothing close to being chauvenist. as i am not comfortable and jerk away from over-enthusiastic's cos i find it scary, so he is j.u.s.t n.i.c.e.

why am i not fascinated by the ohh-so-good-looking-eye-candy faces of others? the ones who say things out smoothly..the ones who get all the girls to dream on and be charming effortlessly in the movies/dramas? ok, maybe they do get my attention but it'll be just for a while,and nothing as comforting as to watch him? in fact, they all look fake in my eyes.nothing to intrigue me.tasteless.

ahhh, well.

Final straw

yeah, tioman's the finale little retreat. as much as i'd like to expore the island, i very much appreciate my nap under the shade by the beach..snorkelling was indeed, a beautiful experience with strikingly-colourful fishes and chorals..but not the sea-sickness by the end of it though=(..seafood buffet was simply perfect with lots n lots of watermelon i put in my plate..heh, i'm so random.

but nothing beat my final experience before leaving mersing. all bus tickets were sold out and taxi driver wanna charge us with some ridiculous amount. well, i thought maybe two of us could do with bus-hopping but prior to that after performing my jama', i simply went 'permudahkanlah urusan kami. selamatkanlah perjalanan kami...' while walking towards the town to look out for bust stop, as much as none of us would dare to hope, someone from counter called out for us saying that there were extra 2 tickets left as someone decided to gave them up for taxi trip.

selangkah ku dekat padaMU, seribu langkah KAU dekat padaku.

hmm, i'm ready to wrap up JB. all i care about now is to be at home with my family. awkwardly homesick. somebody, pls save me!!

Hurt

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Someday I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I want to do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so I'm afraid to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

By hurting you

couldnt find any other song with stronger emotion than this..

For once

It's just after a week

sms-Yups, enjoying it. so far rasa segar. but today x compliance plak. neway, feel already losing some inch kot'

(since she took it for wellness, i'm sure weight and inches are not her priorities..but more like a bonus!)

and as for me? this will do

Game??

'for number one, it is how u look at urself. ko rasa diri ko cemana. so utk ko, u see urself as fragile, lemah and need to be taken care of. actually, i'm suprised that u didnt say because it's beautiful...or colourful cos aku macam expect that kinda reason for it'

'for number two, it's someone who u'd like to be with. so, yours is rare,susah nak dapat..'

'for number three, it's who u actually are. so, you are a survivor'

Last week's

i walked home exasperated. long hours is not as worst as having to deal with p*g-headed ppl. i'm suprised how much certain malaysians love make other ppl less welcomed and comfortable in their own land. heh, personally i regards u ppl as making fool of urselves and respect is not something u gonna get from me *rolled eyes* what a shallow minded so-called berbudi-bahasa ppl we have here*chuckle*

well, whatever*shrug*

let's move on to something fun, ok. well, for a start i decided to take out my dissapointment, despair and longingness with a few laps every night.it worked really well, i figured. high on endorphins, i'm a bit better to brave another day. it's just that i can be a bit funny. since i choose to have my private moments roughly past maghrib prayer, the pool's abit dark so instead of having a peace of mind under the water, i end up imagining things. u know, that things..syyhhh, i know i know. i must not watch horror movie anymore!!*cover eyes*

Also, i make sure i'm full-on for the weekend.nothing's worse than doing nothing. the weekend before, 1zza came over to our place. during the day, we were at CS and enjoyed girls' time browsing items in the display area. got myself one of need-to-buy stuff. went out for dinner at tunggu sebentars1nggah selalu before heading to danga bay. another girls' time strolling, laughing and acting teens;) i really had good time, i do. we end up with a nice collection of photos that night.

then, i went out with my housemates to pelang1 plaza to enjoy end-of-the-week treat. japanese food tastes nicer with ur friends to share and compliment on the decoration. i'm happy with how my 2 australian friends enjoy their malaysian experiences. from the small thing of trying goreng pisang cicah kicap pedas to massive shopping opportunities..but as malaysian, i'm ashamed of how the taxi driver rip our money off every now and then, worse still to remind them to be careful of pick-pocket's in shopping mall. why cant this country be more safe and enjoyable tourist place? and to my BIGGEST blow, one of them was very upset the other day after being bullied and accused by the so-called medical practitioner. tell me, aint they got enough of making things hard on us, the locals?

and as requested.....*drum roll pls*
HELLO, WIEZA & SERI!!! (and syu;))

to far1na, syu, wieza and seri..thanks so much for coming over and giving us blast of time..we sure had so much fun in singapore, eye-ing the animals and sale-hunting...not to forget food-tasting ( i dare not to mention the name of the meals, kan seri kan???LOL).. tiny weeny funny incidences/conversation we had spice it all up too;)

and to add to the crowd, az1e izza and tote was there for our sunday breakfast. *yippee*

Help me!

I AM SO STRESSED OUT.

like i told esah, my supervisor's a dirty pervert but at the same time, an icon for medicine in malaysia. he's damn good and full of knowledge to give out, but no joking his 'accidental behaviour' and dirty words freaks me out. like, i've never been in this kinda profesional dilemma before where i know i'll learn almost everything from a person but his attitude is way out of norm.

suffice to say, he set up high standard and i am nowhere near to achieve that. yes, be realistic. how much reading can i do when i've got 5 modules to take care of at the same time in 6 weeks? didnt our memory and concentration capacity also deteriorates while we're stress? this M0nash thingy also demands researches but i'm only connected while i'm in hosp. ok, dont get me started about the desperate weirdos on the roads who stops us from thinking about coming home late to finish our job.

i still havent figure out how to finish everything and at the same time, impress THE supervisor.

i tell you, i do have palpitation and cold hands now.

STEP BY STEP

1. Read about the nutritional facts of herbalife products (refer entry below)

2. Here's for more testimonials about the products

http://akmal-herbalife.blogspot.com/search/label/testimonial

look out for mine in there

3. Order your herbalife now.

- Starter packs (can either choose vanilla, chocholate, tropical fruit or cappucino flavour) consists of Formula 1, Formula 3, Tea mix and spoon=easily last for a month if u take it twice daily
-Shaker= very useful for breakfast if ur running late.

leave ur email here or contact me, i'll give u further details.

4. Snap a lot of pics of urself, body parts and face. Measure ur body parts in inches (arm, waist, bottom, hips) and keep records of them. weigh urself.

5. Once u get ur herbalife, enjoy the shake twice and a normal meal daily , on top of that mix ur mineral water bottle with tea mix.
observe ur energy changes. my advice is dont focus too much on the lost kg's and inches, but observe also ur energy level, skin condition and 'unhealthy cravings'. ehem, we gotta lose some to win some kan?after all, u can still enjoy ur daily doses of fave food, just make sure its moderately taken;)

6. Repeat step 4 after day 3, day 7, day 14. records ur achievements and share with me.

dont worry, i'm not doing door-to-door promotion. i'm writing this for the sake of sharing my experiences and spread it out to those interested. after all, i've got nothing to lose here. i will always stay slim and HEALTHY, no matter what;)

Superwoman;)

i was preparing my breakfast shake when my housemate came to the kitchen

S: so, how long have u been taking this thing? (referring to herbal1fe, what else?;))

Me: hmm, more than a month actually but i havent been consistent before i came here.

S: dont u get sick of it? ( must be tired of seeing me getting my breakfast and dinner done in a blender)

Me: not really. in fact, it helps me with my migraine and gastritis. i dont get it anymore

S: really?

Me: yup. i always get gastritis because i skip and dont really bother about meals ( psstt, when i'm actually lazy to prepare meals),but with this one not anymore cos i make sure i have it.

S: is your migraine really bad?

Me: yup, the one with nausea and vomiting. sometimes, i just forget to drink water so i get headache. so with this one, i make sure i drink 2L of water.

i shuld've added the first reason: I never have enough of shakes**..

let me tell u a story. while i was doing my elective before coming to JB, i woke up barely at 645 and knackered out by 10pm.sometimes even before that. i didnt have to stand for long hours in the hospital, kinda ok days. well, every meddies knows that elective's supposed to be a light rotation.

for this rotation though, it has been very long days. i wake up at 6am so that i could do some work, be in the hospital from 8-5 and stand most of the time or walk up and down the hill, come home and stay awake until past 11pm. i know its nothing new for some of u,no offense. but its eyebrow-lifting for me cos i only have

breakfast: 500ml of shake**.

lunch: normal meal +500ml of teamix*

dinner: 500ml of shake

before sleep: 500ml of teamix

kinda funny with this kind of eating habit, i dont get gastritis which i would've some time ago. kinda funny with this kind of day, i dont suffer from headache.

i must have turned into superwoman.

opss, u mean starved or deprived myself from eating? heh, i still get my daily doses of fave food once a day. moderation is the key;)

**half cup of soymilk +half cup of plain water+half cup of yoghurt drink/apple +2 spoon of Formula 1 Nutritious Mixed Soy Powder Drink +1 spoon of Formula 3 Blended Soy and Whey Protein Powder +ice cubes(occasionally cos i cant tolerate ice) =500ml shake.

*500ml water bottle +a spoon of teamix.

p/s..i know i sound all obsessed and ridiculous about this , never mind that. read what other people say HERE

sigh

it was a pleasant weekend in ipoh with my aunt and fellow cousins. we potato-couched on friday night with Stranger than F1ction(well, nice movie...but nothing extraordinary), Identity (MUST WATCH, mind-blowing!!) and The Prestige(hmm,not too bad...still worth watching). i know, here's the only place where i can watch movies without falling asleep. kinda impressive,hehe.

next day was the event i went there for. his engagement..and liz, yes it's benz i'm talking about. earlier,i enjoyed u-cant-escape-laughing trivia over breakfast with my aunt and her sons..here's 4 brothers who truly cherish their brotherhood, rare breeds.

so, my brother cousin has tied the knot. part of me is happy for he has found his better half, but half of me is undeniably sad for all the company priviledge i'm gonna miss. heh,whatever...

after that, i went out with my aunt for our girly girly party princess. oh yes,here's for being her princess. she insisted me to choose and happily pay for it.

i shouldnt say no to this, right?


i was back in JB by sunday morning. hmm, out of the blue moon my heart went funny again. said to myself, please dont. i cant ... overwhelmed, i run away. this time, i settled for Mukhs1n. pure innocent love, if u ask me. it beats any of Yasm1n Ahmad's other movie (sorry, i dont dig sepet cos i hardly see love, but lust)..good laugh all along but at the end of it, something got into my eyes..hmm. i like how the story ends itself. familiar.

'the house seems lonely without u all'- sms from my aunt.

mixed-up.i shed. i asked myself, why sunday never go easy on me? why the thought, why the wish?

it was monday. the incident. for once, i am grateful for my white coat. dirty old man BASTARD. very upset and traumatised, SHOCKED. i wrote to Pau1, the australian gentleman who's in charge here, i know he's the only one who can help me go through this. i wish the person not to get away with this, even it means putting my graduation at stakes.

sigh *head down*

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin’ alone
I think of all the friends I’ve known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
Oh
Don’t wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Disclaimer: they're facts. i, by no means wish to go vain or brag.

i've been using herbal1fe for the past month to maintain the lost weight and lose some more. although i havent been able to use it religiously due to event after event in my life,differences are noted.

- i lost 3 kilo's and maintain my weight at it.
- my waist went down from 29 to 25.5 inches, so does other part of my bodies too (need to ask me personally about that)
- a lot of relatives commented that i've shrunk. brothers, cousins, distant families and family friends. even my tailor couldnt recognise me cos she said i was big (ouch ouch ouch!) when we last met.
- my skin gets better.
- i sent all my baju kurung for alteration and have got no jeans to wear cos they are all loose now.i can fit into my sister's S-sized skirt too.
- i feel good about myself.

if u ask me why?

- i dont have to worry about my breakfast and dinner. i'm running busy at the moment, so does i believe most of us. my meals will be formula 1+formula 3+a cup of soymilk+a cup of plain water(u can add up yoghurt, fresh fruits or yoghurt drink...whichever u like to it)+ice cubes..can either blend or use the shaker...in between, i fill in my water bottle with formula 2(tea mix)..it keeps me hydrated and energised for the whole day. i sustain my whole morning with shake, have normal lunch and light dinner with another shake. for me, its a reasonable way of losing weight and keeping me healthy.

-for all i know, i've got all the nutrients and vitamins needed in daily basis. no need for multivitamins tablet, no need for energy drink whatsoever. this actually detox ur body as well.

- once i've established my ideal/wished weight, i'll continue using this. for a health conscious but too lazy to prepare good meals like me, this is the ultimate solution.have it once daily and i'm done for the nutrients requirement.easy peasy.

- i am what i eat.

if i can divide us into 3 categories

-health person who wanna stay healthy= consume this once daily and u'll be nutrionised & energised.

-someone who need to do something with weight= u can lose and gain weight with this product. it's a meal replacement plan. u DONT have to starve urself to lose weight, nor binge into fattening notorious food to gain weight. just DONT.

- suffer from medical problems= i know a friend who uses this for her sinusitis and approved that it works. i've read about ppl having various kind of illnesses(diabetes, high blood pressure, acne etc) who benefits from this as well. it may not cure but helps u control the probs.

i'm here to be ur personal motivator.can either call or email snuryati@gmail.com. otherwise just leave ur email here and i'll write back to u. it doesnt hurt to share good experiences, right?

Let's play the game

RULES: People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Reasons: i want to prove that i'm not weird. yelah, apart from being tagged thrice!;p

1. makan- i save the best for the last. dari kecil lagi dah mcm tuh. lets say dlm byk2 lauk ada yg fave, mesti simpan utk makan last. sape yg tak tahu, mesti ingat tak suka pastu ambil from pinggan;( tapi kalau kakak adik, semua dah faham. unless kerang, itu silalah ambil semua. bau pun dah nak m*ntah & severe headache.

2. tido- i am not gifted with the ability to sleep after subuh. even if i managed, it'll be disturbing headache after i wake up for the whole day. nope, not even when i'm tired or over the weekend. i would toss and turn for more than an hour but to no avail. thats why kalu sleep over, akan terkebil-kebil kat katil bila org lain tido balik. but my bedtime is as early as baby's. and i need to cover my face to sleep.

3. takut-uhh, my reflex would be to cover both ears with hand and half-close my eyes. regardless, takut manusia takut serangga takut anjing takut benda takut hantu. semua pun buat macam tuh. contoh dulu2 would be masa kena kejar anjing kat park or masuk ghost house. horror tak horror, there's this time masuk ghost house kat penang fest. instead of this hantu buatan tuh keluar from the box and takutkan ktrg, i covered my ears and scream my lungs out ordering him to get back into the box. i'm sure he had ringing in the ears after that ;D

4. cerita seram-oohhhh, i soo love cerita hantu. ask my friends, i would always go 'eh, jom tengok' 'eh, jom beli cd cerita hantu nih'. but they'll smirk at me cos they know, i only watch 10% of the movie and dont even understand the story. remember, i fully cover my face half-close my eyes when i'm scared? that's whyy!!!! but again, whenever i saw the next horror/scary movie, i would 'eh, jom tengok!'

5. duduk- bersila on the chair. anywhere, restaurant, study table, cinema, car. i know, it's so tak perempuan melayu terakhir(heh, like i care!). if u see me bersila while eating, that means the food's good; while watching movie, that means the movie's entertaining; while studying, that means i'm learning; at the co-pilot seat, that means i'm comfortable with the drive.

6.minum- i dont drink while and after eating. that why if u go out eating with me and i order 'air suam', its not i'm jaga badan stingy-cheapskate, but i know i cant finish my drink. i just have the drink in case tercekik (betullll, takut jugak tiba2 tersedak takde air nak minum,heheh..) i would drink an hour or later after that, which usually i forgets. tuh sebab selalu headache, kurang air.

told ya, i'm not weird.phhhhfftt!!

p/s wireless no more after this. just assume i'm buried under the modules and long list of things-to-look-up-tonight or joyfully enjoying the condominium FOC..hailllll to my university! ohh, just call me if u need me;)

Laugh & Grim

see, even with the traumatising experiences, we managed to laugh our gut out every night. who wouldnt ? when on the very first day, we mistaken an Indian doctor with another. we talked to him for about 5 odd minutes, being oblivious to his puzzled face...only to realised after that, we've been asking the wrong doctor. OMG, i swearr they looked alike!! *hide my face* silly!
********************
next incident was on the same day, i think. i agreed to accompany my fren to buy dinner for her and 2 other girls. alah, yang mcm dataran full of food stalls tuh. we were both unfamiliar with the place as it was our first time. so there, 3 polysterene packs we brought back. i left her to dig in her dinner when she went

'YAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, maii cepatt!!'

*ape pulak budak nih. kalut semacam*

then she showed me

first pack, nothing.

second pack, written 'special 4 u'

third pack, a name and a phone number.

'AAARRRGHHHHH,WAHAHAHHA'
*rolling on the floor laughing*
OMG, these ppl couldnt be anymore rempit ke eh??? nasib baik aku tak beli pape, kalu tak mesti was-was nak makan..kan dah kurang satu pelanggan, tobat aku tak pergi dah kedai tuh.
***************
this is even funnier. we were following ward round when suddenly the whole cubicle bergema dgn lagu2 melayu gersang . tak cukup dengan tuh, terdengar suara sumbang ikut nyanyi sama from the room opposite to it.pantri rupanya. ya rabbbii, boleh pulak bukak karaoke kat ward nih..kitrg dah siggung siku each other,
'oiii, ingat nih jamb*n rumah korang ke..??'

aku rasalah kan, kalu pakcik2 dalam ward tuh sihat walafiat, mesti habis mamat2 tuh kena belasah sebab buat pencemaran bunyi. sabar jelahh!
***************
he's our supervisor, the moment we were introduced to him, i went 'eh, macam muka M daud k1lau?' hihihih. so, it's true of what i've heard..he did have a lot of unnecessary gestures, often involving touch.. regardless of gender. even worse, he did talked double-meaningly and gave out dirty 18sx jokes *blank face*. quiet petrified, if u ask me. regardless, we had 3 solid teaching full of tips and ilmu. in the middle of the drill, he was trying to illustrate how food and background can expose to certain disease and he went

him: so, what does javanese like to eat?
my fren: tempe??

*i almost hv muscle cramp sebab tahan gelak...of course, he's looking for some other thing..not that popular answer*
*************************
remember my first name? i've been using it as my nickname for my formal-hospital-life-with-the-locals back in melb cos it's so easy to pronounce. little did i remember if i continue to use it in malaysia, it welcomes great trouble for me. but i did, forgetfully. the name's controversial, so does the doctor's name mentioned above. apparently, i share first name with the so-called malaysia's top singer and he share the top singer's husband's name. lengkap dengan datuk. so u can imagine how disastrous it was when he talked to a patient in clinic

'haah..nama saya mmg datuk (alphabet), tapi bukan yang tuh. mana (my first name) saya? takde eh'

*i quickly pulled the coat to cover my tag and put up a i-dont-know-face. while my 2 fren, pusing belakang gelak siap tepuk2 dinding..kurang asam gila!!*

thank god, he's not so good with faces..otherwise i would've jump off the corridor?
************************
'ketepi ketepi gergasi sudah kembali...'

heheh, there's this lady doctor who really makes our life left-right-front-back. dah tak larat nak kena langgar, pastu ditarik ke belakang, ditolak ke tepi....masalahnye dia sorang saje buat mcm tuh, pastu pulak tak nampak sgt fungsi dia ber-lipas kudung ke sana sini...aduiii, penat tengok.

sorang lagi doktor, lagi kelakar. terlampau arrogant sampaikan make fool of himself. ape punya kisah laa nih deyyy!
***********************
ini tak kelakar tapi takut. nak beli tiket balik kl this weekend, tertinjau2 la cari kaunter. ingatkan nak tolong bila dia approach and bawak ke satu kaunter, sekali dpt harga yg asik berubah2 ikut tarikhla, musim cuti laaa....dah pening

me: eh, boleh berubah2 ek harga?
him: kamu jangan nak bahasakan saya tukar2 harga!.. ini kerja saya..(pokpek pokpek)!!

maaaakkkkk, samseng tiket bas!! nasib baik berjaya larikan diri guna taktikk nak bincang dgn kawan dan menyelinap keluar slps beli tiket kat kaunter lain. dibuatnye kena tahan dgn dia, nauzubillah...


seee, i am still a silly girl who forget her age ;) dont u think?

Whatever, ok?!!

it was only day 3, we were getting used to the ward and everything..there she came. another so-called physician. after asking where we are from and what are we doing, here's for us

' i dont understand, if you are from the university there then what are u doing here? this is funny.weird. u shouldnt be here, how much is the chance to do oversea? u should do everything there and then only come back. i can accept if its elective but not other. it's a waste, u know..go and tell ur friend not to do the same. it's a waste..'

*while shaking her head*

STUPEFIED. SPEECHLESS. PERPLEXED. COMPLETE TOLD OFF.

yes.you are right, lady. i should be there so that i wont get this kind of treatment/welcome. i shouldnt be here to get pushed around for some stupid burocracy matters. for a moment, i forgot that my real intention of choosing to stay in malaysia longer is so that i can prepare myself for next year, the treated like a dog internship year. to learn and get familiar about the system. and i thought this is home?

for all i know, i want to learn and there's no limit to that. its from everyone and everywhere. i hold no grudge but i will prove u wrong. i will prove u wrong.

Life goes on, isnt it?

Reading the modules, there are 5 of them. what is called as self-directed learning, apparently i find them gonna be useful and intriguing for the rotation. heaps of things to do and observe, also to take note and compile everything. gonna be a bit tedious but at the end of the day, i'm sure it will helps me alot.
Motivation level: 100%.

upon entering M0nash office, i feel home. no kidding, i feel home. the smiley secreatary and prof, everything (ok, plus the aircond=p)....funny, the 1st thing emphasized by the prof was about the white coat (GOD, help me. it's stinking hot here and u want me to don that? i'm sorry, no offense to anyone reading this) and how we need to be wary about some attitudes in the wards. no need to detail on that on, i assume. despite all that, i feel home.
Motivation level: 110%

upon entering the ward, it's so 'welcome to the real world of red-tapes and nasty ppl'. culture shock is a more appropriate word, i guess.
Motivation level: 10%

Hello from JB

hello hello!!

as u can read (;p) i,m now settling down in JB. at the moment, i'm bunking at my fren's hse before moving into !ndah Samudra, fully furnished condominium provided by M0nash to the final year students.

this gonna be my 1st day in hosp, just finished reading the student handbook and for all i know, it seems to be a TIED-UP rotation. yayy to busybee!! at least, i love the word student intern ;)

will write more when time permits..btw, anyone happen to be in JB or gonna be here why dont u give me a call/msg so that we can meet up? study pun study jugak, social life kena jaga =)

My buah hati pengarang jantung, xoxo

Di suatu hari,

He: whaddaaaat?? (what's that) *pointing to his papa's drawing*

Abg Ngah: papa draw..

He: ohhhhh, pandainyeeeeeeee..good boy...

Abg Ngah & Kak Sya: *laugh out loud*

ohh, nak kidnap bawak balik melb boleh tak??

24 ke 14?

So, Ar1p (Buff) was in town last week for a conference, so me and Na managed to cilok and rompak him at Mc'D for some prosperity meal. nyehnyehnyeh! so, we casually updated each other and gossiped until he asked me

Arip: so how's Austral1a? dah berubah ke since aku pergi Melb dulu? apa tempat yg best eh kat sana?

to which i replied

Me: ok jeh. hmm, kalu for married couple or nak honeymoon ke aku suggest sydney la sbb byk tmpt2 best n cantik. tp kalu teenagers, macam kita nih maybe better Melb sbb lagi happening and byk benda best2 boleh buat.

and he laughed heartily. so does Na

Arip: yatt....ko rasa ko still teenagers ke??? kita dah bukan teenagers..aku dah 24..teenagers ni kalu ko nak tahu yg umur 10-19..hahah, ko nih yatt..macam 14.

to which, supported by Na.

Na: heheheheheh, haahla yatt..ko rasa ko teenagers lagi ke??hehehhee..

*hmmmmmppphhhhh.hhmmmpphhhhh*

masalahnye, aku tak tersasul. mmg aku rasa mcm tuh. masih belasan tahun..
*sheepish grin*

Them & My Whereabouts

since tak dapat lagi nak upload pics byk2, hope this will do. for all i know, i'm a dead meat (!!) if either one of them saw this picture here...

*uhhhh uhh, lariiii!!*

as for me, i'm going to shah a1am tomorrow, then baru pergi JB. 1st weekend in march, back to shah a1am to attend my ciktun's wedding. 2nd weekend, pergi ipoh for aliff's engagement. yes, consider urself lucky to be one of my favourites's cousin =p (i know, i'm ur fave too!) . kalau ada rezeki dapatla squeeze in time to attend ain's big day...but i'm sure i'll be happily stucked in ipoh for some girl's time with dearest aunt.

since my bro moved from kl to shah alam, i'm no longer mobile *cry cry* really miss my shopping rotation in kl, also planning out with frens. that's why liyana, aku tak dapat bagitau ko exact time bila aku turun kl again. can we move back to kl, pleaseeee? i'm so patah kaki =(

Refresh

so, some are well hide-up.

as good as life can be.

with hiccups here and there.

wanna see pictures?

Nikmat Iman

dah lama nak tulis pasal nih. something i always ponder everytime i stumbled. how Allah has make it a lot easier for us, HIS servants to sail our life.

each and everyone of us has been, is and will be tested by HIM. at some stage, at some point of life. there's no exceptional cases. there's no justification for us to question why some ppl are having less burdens and looks happier than us cos we just dont know what's going on with their life. even if they're, they may have had their share in the past, or even in the future. my point is, we are the same. HE does not spare anyone to be tested.

but Allah also ease our pain with iman. when we strongly believe that nothing happen for nothing. Allah takkan menjadikan sesuatu itu sia-sia. that's what i've been holding on for quite some time. from living experience, i know it sounds too petty when our probs are crushing our life and we just dont know how to take another day. the feelings are fair, but with iman we learn the ways to be a true muslim(ah). we learn to take it as another test from Allah, we learn that Allah will always love us no matter what, we learn that life in this world, after all is very very transient.

when we've grasped that, the probs are no longer hiccups for us and we slowly lead the day as though nothing has ever happened before. we are no longer looking at life as we used to.

for me, that's a nikmat. a pleasure.

Why 10 hours?

The place may not give me sense of familiarity, but the stranger-ness makes me forget the excess baggage in life. to be lost in the crowd, i find peace with mind. the un-known atmosphere makes the known bitterness less significant. the struggle to survive and make every single effort worthwhile outgrow the sinking grimace. it's like setting myself free and find solace in a totally different world. bingo.

everyday, new ppl new experiences new feelings i brought home. some are to be smiled to, some are to be taken as daily lessons. how easy when u take life that lightly, when u firmly believe it is so transient to be worried about, and yet you are determined to make the best out of it.

i am proud of myself, for being able to.

Strength of faith

percayalah, Allah takkan menjadikan sesuatu itu dengan sia-sia.

"Happiness comes in many forms. in the company of good frens. in feelings u gave when u make someone else's dream comes true. or in the promise of hope renewed. its ok to let urself be happy, because u'll never know how fleeting that happiness might be. " - OTH 0412.

Say nothing at all..

Maybe getting over someone you're in love with isn't impossible. Unless, maybe you don't actually get over it. Maybe you just learn to live with it. - Felicity-

she watched the movie and quoted it for me. how did i answer her?

'haah, betul. aku tak dapat nak let it go tapi aku just learn to live with it'.

to put a name to something.

"makcik ada rasa macam jantung terbakar tak?"

Yang Syiok

pagi-pagi sebelum pergi, i gave my parents hugs and pecks. everyday.

ape-ape nak makan time lunch, semua aci boleh. tak payah nak inquire cashier, tak payah nak tilik ada meat ke tak. harga pun boleh tahan...

hospital macam pasar raya. tak putus2 orang berlegar-legar. so takdela rasa isolated sgt.hehe

colleagues. welcoming. i guess what i really enjoy seeing is the harmonious multiracial community. cute betul bila ch!nese cakap melayu.

senang sgt nak solat. tak perlu risau utk cari empty room or space. sgt dipermudahkan.

Yang Kurang Syiok

kena pakai lab white coat. urghhh, panassssss!! maafla, bukan nak kipochi tp slame ni tak pernah kena pakai...

i thought to converse with the patient in English is tough enough, but in kelantanese....huwaaaaa,SUSAHHHHHHHHHHH!! asik uhhh ahhhh uhhh ahhhh taktahu nak translate cemana. hence the above dialogue(ok, obviously it doesnt come from me cos i'm doing O&G,heheh). but its true, you'll never know how tricky it is until u give the 1st attempt. weihhh hani, serious aku kena kasi crash course utk ko learn to speak kelantanese,hihihihi!!

it's not that easy to fit in.hmm

i really appreciate the learning opportunity but 2 hours of slides presentation? i'm sorry but my attention span couldnt sustain that.

So, i agree

"...dah go thru a lot of major sufferings. i lost my loved ones. parents, abang2 semua dah takde. so bila macam tu, life becomes so transient to me. hidup nih hanyalah sebagai musafir.bila rasa mcm tuh kan, dah tak peduli ape orang kata. nak kata ape pun, katalah."

" It's very hard when the enemy is your family. you cannot hate them"

" Life nih macam boxing ring. we are the boxers and our life is our opponent. we fight. kita lawan pastu kita jatuh, kita bangun balik. sebab tuh mat salleh selalu ckp i'm at your corner. these people yg akan support kita. they care and love us very much. diorg nih ape tak buat? bagi kita minum air, ckp strategi mcm mana nak lawan opponent kita, lap peluh kita, sampaikan gigi palsu kita pun diorg tadah dgn tangan sendiri. sayangnye dekat kita. we dont have to justify anything to them, they already know. tp ada juga org2 yg kat luar ring tuh, yang tak buat ape. tunggu kita jatuh jeh. we dont need these people in our life."

" It's true when ppl said the opposite of love is not hate, but dont care. because when you hate you still have feeling, but when you dont care you lose the feeling"

"Cheers for ur courage, smile and live on."

"To love means letting go."

"You could not live other people's life. pray that good sense will prevail."

"...berdosa sangat tp tak boleh. bila teringat tu, datang rasa nak marah. tak boleh nak lupa".

17/18th Feb

This coming CNY hols is the next big thing. there'll be wedding reception for me my brother, which equates to BIG FAMILY GATHERING. looking forward!! can't wait to meet the familiar faces, to enjoy the great company and be part of the crowd.

the reception itself wont be big and glamorous, but i will have great time working with the aunties and cousins. tradition of working hand in hand. jokes and helps. i'll be too occupied to snap away pictures though ;-(

so hani, it'll be ur 1st weekend here. i will try my best to make u feel at home. memula risau juga takut aku tak sempat nak entertain and bring u around but i'm sure u'd love to experience kampung style of wedding kan? and worry not, there's wi-fi to keep u connected ( and has been keeping me sane,hehe). and heck, we can do some shopping spree after that...ohh, i love!*bling bling bling* insya Allah, there'll be nice suprise for you that weekend too. hopefully, she manages to book the ticket.

anyone else coming to kelantan this CNY hols?

Good or Bad

News 1: Seeing how things are at the moment, i wont make it to KL this weekend for N0rma's wedding. I feel bad for not being able to keep my promise and i'm so not happy =(

News 2: So it's true, we'll be receiving the back-dated allowance. will be AUD*000 richer sooner. FUH! syiokkknye.

on another note altogether, i'd like to get hold of E.R and starw@rs. complete set. anyone care to show me how or kind enough, make them available to me? ok, forget the latter. it's painfully wishful. pretty please to those who can help, nonetheless.

ohh and hani-izhar, look out for my next entry.

Tiny updates

My parents' home. alhamdulillah=)

I'll be starting my fifth year, my final year this coming sunday(hmm, after 13 years of having Sunday as day off). It's HUSM and i'm thinking of driving *WORRY* It'll be O&G rotation and i havent got my books back from M's cargo*DISASTER* =(

I havent bought the ticket yet to attend N0rma's wedding. I hope very much to be in KL next weekend, time to reunite with the M0nash clan =)

I miss my laptop =(

I am so looking forward to CNY hols =)

Read this. Something i haven't been able to put into words, but she truly speaks my mind.

Going For A Sleep

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA

well, this wasnt the first time i celebrated it without my parents. each time with different people, different sense of responsibility(it was none prior to this one), different feelings and different settings. i dont get to miss them much this time, only while listening to the takbir n getting ready for the prayer. my brothers and sisters did a good job to keep me occupied and entertained. for our family, we have fun with board/UNO games. It's been the tradition for raya or any gathering. it was a quiet raya but fine in its own way..

JANUARY, 1ST

I dont celebrate new year and i dont believe in new year resolutions. I dont wanna write about last year and i dont wanna say anything about this year.

'You are too young not to believe that it's gonna be fine'

Thirty-th December

Another year.

Happy Birthday.

What's the 3 wishes prayers for this year (which would only take place in next year)?
1. Perform Umrah.
2. Graduate.
3.Meet a person that i will will truly treasure me, likewise.

While i still wanna write

1. i could never forget syu's antique at wedding fara, whereby she called my name and then buat aksi kuak lentang kecil-kecilan(i mean, dia kuak tgn dia sket2 jeh bukan yg full-on mcm org tgh betul2 berenang). depan2 meja beradap tuh jugak dia beraksi, eheh;) tahuuu, dia tak sabar nak bermandian di sungai bergembira bersama-sama.

wahai dugong sekalian, bukan tak jadi tp agak kesuntukan masa. i'd say december wasnt the best time cos most of us(not me;p) are tied up with works. mid jan, i'll be starting my rotation in HUSM already and will only be going to KL for wedding over the weekend. I'm thinking of organising it while i'm in JB kot, senang nak turun KL banyak kali. itu pun, aduhai kena bargain time with my beloved brother n sis-in-law. almaklumla, dapat yg caring-lagi-protective-pastu-suka-nak-adik-dia-spend-time-together. ini pun reputation dah corot sbb last time punye performance, eheh. tp jgn risau, insya Allah ada rezki kita ber-dugong yeh??

2.I dont seem to put on weight in msia, despite the amount of food i ate and how undisciplined i am. A space for an inch or two around the waistline when i put on my baju kurung last night and a size-smaller pants i bought the other day. i ate bigger portion and took up late dinner, if that's what u wanna ask next.

For what it's worth.

So what do we call for unspoken truth? the fact thats it's not a lie because one doesnt deny or tell the opposite, but at the same time it hasnt been let known.

Is it cowardful for not admitting, or playing safe as to avoid pain?

It is hoped that time will fade the truth away, kill what's inside and leave it to die. it is hoped that by then, the significance becomes non-existent. it is hoped that there will be no regret after doing what's the best for it, apart from telling the truth that is.

the end.
