back to school ;)

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Well, not exactly today. Been going to lectures since last week, and only today I felt like I am actually doing what I’m supposed to be doing. ngehehehe. Was shadowing the junior Drs today, which was wayy better compared to the normal sitting in the clinic or standing in theatres (which I did yesterday afternoon btw, and wasn’t even allowed to scrub up. sigh!) Anyway today wasn’t bad at all, and tonight I’ll be doing some work, hopefully.

Eid was cool. First day went to Grand Mosque with Jiejah and Lenny, then later come back to have brunch with them and Nisa. Then went to the socond years before going to Conference Room for some more food - although we did feel like we couldn’t eat as much - not sure why. It’s either because we ate too much kat rumah, or because of the lack of company yang kuat makan.. teehee. SO yes, beloved mari-pergi-beraya-dan makan-sebanyak-mungkin frens, we do miss you :D. Anyway, came back, then went to the boys’ flat.. where we did our six-pack exercise (and by that I mean laughing till our stomach hurts and tightens).

Second day, ingat nak pegi rumah abang Man je, but turned out we went to ustaz Daud’s and Kak Lin’s place as well. Watched Gubra, tapi tak sempat habis since Ajak need to go to work. Enjoyable indeed.

And yesterday, reluctantly braved the cold weather with Kamarul to Airedale. Can’t wait for the weekend and I guess this weekend would consists of more and more eating heheheh. 

Am still contemplating whether nak pegi Notts or not on my birthday. I wanted to, but I don’t feel like I should. hmmm…tak tau lah.

sweet ^-^

Have you noticed that children sometimes try to be helpful but it only makes your life more complicated?                                                               
                                                                                     
I heard a story about a mother who was sick in bed with the flu. Her darling daughter wanted so much to be a good nurse. She fluffed the pillows and she brought a magazine to read, and then she even showed up with a surprise cup of tea.
"Why, you’re such a sweetheart," the mother said as she drank the tea. "I didn’t know you even knew how to make tea."                                                         
                                                                                     
"Oh, yes" the little girl replied. "I learned by watching you. I put the tea
leave in the pan and then I put in the water and boiled it, and then strained it into a cup. But I couldn’t find the strainers, so I used the fly swatter instead."         
                                                                                     
"You what?" The mother screamed. And the little girl said, "Oh, don’t worry,
Mom, I didn’t use the new fly swatter, I used the old one."                                 
                                                                                     
Well, when kids try their hardest and they get it all wrong in spite of
themselves, what’s parent to do? Well, what mothers and fathers often do is prevent their children from carrying any responsibilities that could result in a mess or a mistake. It’s just easier to do everything for them, then to clean up
afterwards.   
                                                                                     
But I urge parents not to fall into that trap. Your child needs his mistakes.
That’s how he learns. So, go along with the game every now and then, even if the tea you drink tastes a little strange.

hari raya datang lagi.. (cehh macam ayat iklan tora pulak)

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Hari ni genap seminggu Ija balik ke Leeds. Lecture week pun dah habis, dan minggu depan bermulalah sesi kehidupan sebagai orang nomad selama lebih kurang 5 bulan. Tak lama.. dan selepas itu, adalah exam besar yang akan menanti di akhir April. (insert exclaimation mark di sini) 

InsyaAllah, this would be my last Eid here. Cepat dan pantasnya masa berlalu. Macam baru je sampai dekat airport Leeds dijemput Afif dan sayang saya, dengan muka toye kerana luggage besarku hilang di dalam perjalanan. Ye, luggage besar ku yang penuh berisi makanan telah tersesat. Nasib baik baju and necessities ada letak dalam hand luggage. Kalau tak, haru biru kelabu jugak lah kan. Sebulan kemudian, baru bertemu kembali dengan luggage yang sudah pun rosak dan patah. Nasib baik tak koyak, dan barang-barang di dalamnya masih ok lagi (although some of the food had to be thrown away). Periuk nasi juga masih boleh digunakan, despite kekemikan penutupnya.   

Anyway, bercerita pasal hari raya, my first Eid here was funny. Masa tu belum berapa kenal orang lagi, hence tak de lah nak ikut orang pegi open house. Oh not to mention we had to submit our assignment a day before Eid. Fauzi came the night before, cooked for our iftar, and we decided to cook some rendang cina and kuah kacang (although harus mengaku, yang kuah kacang tak jadi :p). So the night was spent cooking and trying out which oufit to wear on first raya. 1 syawal, he went to sembahyang raya with Kamarul and Afif, leaving me and Farid to cook the nasi himpit. Everything went well, until we both fell asleep while waiting for the nasi himpit. Dah tertidur tu kan, harus hangus lah nasik himpit tu. Nasib ada one packet extra, and we woke up about an hour before the boys came home. At least the embarrassment takde lah teruk sangat kan. Kalau diorang yang kejutkan, haruslah terasa muka tu tebal lebih sikit :p.

Then, second year we celebrated Eid with Asmak. First time makan nasi minyak di pagi raya..ikut style terengganu. Selalu makan ketupat dgn rendang dan sambal aje. Masa ni dah duduk rumah, jadi ramai laa sket tetamu kan. Tapi tak bolehlah nak celen dengan open house masa third year. I wasn’t there though, since I decided to celebrate Eid with him in Sheffield (besides, it was near my birthday, so macam double celebration for me lah). So I left Farid and Za to help Asmak with the cooking ;). Macam mengelat lah jugak.. sebab mereka masak dengan banyaknya, macam nak buat kenduri besar aje. heheh.

Last year, he was already back at home, and left me here.. sob sob.. :p. Had some friends come over, then went to open houses sampai kembung-kembung perut. The next day was off to Southampton to visit Abang Zul and Kak Oja (and now I realised that that was the last time I saw them.. tskkk).

This year..hmmm.. my beloved seniors dan Za are all celebrating Eid in Malaysia, Asmak is in London, juga tunang saya yang sengaja menjeleskan saya kerana dia dapat beraya di rumah, serta abang-abang dan sedara-mara yang asyik menyakat kerana tidak dapat beraya bersama ‘dia’. Sigh. Apapun, Saya berjaya mendapatkan cuti untuk berhari raya, dan adinda saya juga ada di sini. Lagipun dah janji nak masak sedapur dgn Jiejah dan Lenny.. so I guess, it won’t be too bad. hehhhh..

Di sini kau dan aku

terbiasa bersama

menjalani kasih sayang

bahagia ku denganmu

pernahkah kau menguntai

hari paling indah

kuukir nama kita berdua

di sini surga kita

c/o

bila kita mencintai yang lain

mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar

sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah

sayang ku akan hilang

if we love somebody could we be this strong

I will fight to win

our love will conquer all

I would’nt risk my love

even just one night

our love will stay in my heart…

my heart….
