Jalan-jalan ke Goa

Assalamualaikum. I know it's been almost a month I've been to Goa haha but err I've been so busy with a lot of things ... (cari alasan).

So far I've been to Taj Mahal, Kerala, and places like Manipal and Mangalore for short trips. Usually I simply give my name and pay the whole thing without knowing where are we heading I just leave everything to whoever handling the whole trip yeah, I'm that pemalas but this time I decided to plan the whole trip (but of course I paksa Raihan to help). Ehem.

Instead of booking a whole package (hotels, transport and tour guide), we decided to make our own trip. There are 9 of us me Raihan Sabrina Mell Linda Shimah Syak Eyzzah and Hajar. We booked flight tickets and hotels for four nights but we don't know anyone in Goa and we don't even know where we were heading! Konon adventerous habis haha . Nasib baik Umi tak tahu hewhew she was reluctant at first to allow me to go (remember the gang rape case in Delhi?).



But I manage to paksa these people to go (Umi said at least there must be ten people in the group) and instead of TT we went there with flight. Everyone was like "Hey mahal la kenapa guna flight Goa dekat je kot" and a lot of other things but safety first la, money comes and goes, I have to make sure everyone is safe baru la boleh nak seronok-seronok. Oh god, I sound like Mom already. Anyway it's only Rs. 5500 per person, about RM300+ je.. 

Masalah tiket murah is, the flight would be very early in the morning (ours were at 5 am) and since it's India where anything can happen anywhere, we have to go to airport three hours earlier. So we hardly sleep while waiting for the night to pass. Alhamdulillah there was no delay whatsoever so one and half hour later we arrived at Goa.

Goa is divided into South and North Goa. We first headed to south and we made some arrangements with the hotel we booked earlier (Dudhsagar Resort & Spa) to come and fetch us at the airport. Transport in Goa is so expensive! For two vehicles we have to pay around Rs. 3-4k, kalau buat muka sedih "But we are students only" haa dapat murah sikit. The hotel was quite far la from the airport.. South Goa is more like kampung but I like it :D

Since it is very kampung there's nothing much we could do. For the whole day we were just eating (we brought rice cooker, grilled chicken, sardines etc etc), playing silly games and in the evening we did some rope things I don't know how to explain it but we have to walk from one tree to another on some ropes with that sliding thing (?) and it ends with flying fox. It took about almost an hour to finish the whole thing but it was fun! Except the part where everything seemed so high and I'm always afraid of height all I wanna do is finish it up but Eyzzah was so happy take my pictures and paksa me to smile -.-' 

The next day we went to Dudhsagar waterfall. They said it is the highest waterfall somewhere but we have to wait for monsoon season for it to become one. Ramai gilaaa women in bikinis haipp. I refused to join them to mandi yeah I know, everyone was telling me why I'm so boring let's have fun in the water whatever haha but I don't like basah-basah and how to change baju?! They were so excited sampai je terus masuk airrr (geleng kepala) those kids pfttt haha. 

Afterwards we went for elephant ride! But I pitied the elephant, it was hot and she was crying. The owner said it's normal because it's hot. But she looked so sad so I just sat there trying to pat her (but I was too scared). I don't understand why people want to ride on elephants or camels eh, but I must admit they look nice in the pictures -.-' At night we barbecued yayy. We didn't actually do anything we just sat there waiting to be served haha I know, so manja. And everyone was so exhausted to do anything afterwards we ended up sleeping early and waking up late the next day.

At 10 am the next morning we checked out and headed to North Goa. Again, I had to pay Rs. 3k for the transport?! Nasib baik la those drivers are so baik. The next hotel (Swimsea Resort) was smaller (and cheaper) compared to previous one, but it's very near to beach so after we finished unpacking and ate lunch we went straight to the beach. We spent the whole evening at the beach, though it's not a beach for tourist (no water sports etc) we had fun watching the sunset and some people went into the water (not me haha) and afterwards they continued in the swimming pool -.-'



The next day we went to the best beach in North Goa (according to pak cik receptionist), Calungute Beach which is 20 km away. We were so kedekut haha we decided to take the public transport to go there. Told you this is an adventerous trip lolll. It was quite easy because everyone was ready to help us. Just imagine we looked like small kids we walked in a group and we kept asking everyone "Where is the beach?" haha! Turned out we had to cross a river, we rode a large ferry and it's free for everyone (except for cars)! So convenient. The journey took almost an hour but it was worth it la :D



Haa, ini baru pantai sebenarrr. Everyone was so eager to try every water sports. Not me la haha I don't like getting all wet all I wanna do is sit under the umbrella and eat lobster. But everyone was like dude this is Goa so I went parasailing and ... that's all (I screamed the whole time I was "flying"). So while everyone was busy playing in the water, I sat under the umbrella and ate losbter. Nyum! It was Rs. 1300 but I shared it with Eyzzah and Hajar because I wanted to try prawn (Rs. 600) too. Then everyone came and joined us. The owner was so kind he gave me free drinks and fries haha seronok pergi mana-mana selalu jumpa orang baik :) The last bus was at 6 pm so we rushed back (did some shopping at Candolim Beach which is 10 minutes away) to the hotel.



Esoknya we came back to Bangalore, and I had food poisoning for three days -.-'

Arrived at South Goa

Buat group (konon)

Naik jeep masuk hutan

Orang-orang tak mandi haha

Picnic!

Laskhmi the elephant

At Miramar Beach

Swimsea Resort

While waiting for the bus (mak cik kat sebelah pandang pelik haha)

Macam budak sekolah tak?!

Calungute Beach

Nikmat dunia :')

I paid Rs. 5500 for the flight ticket and for hotels, transport and others (makan-makan, entrance etc) I paid only Rs. 7000 (RM 400+). And still got baki. Okay la, if you take package you only have to pay Rs. 7000+ including TT but you have to follow the schedule and those people sure will take you to some expensive shops which will pay them money every time they bring in customers -.-'



Seronoknya bila nak cuti lagiii haha. But remember to jaga adab even when you're away from everyone you know. We tend to lupa jaga diri bila dengan locals, "Alaa tempe je pun". Islam bukan sembahyang dan puasa je, it applies in all aspects of your life ; pakaian, cara bercakap, adab dengan orang bukan Islam etc. Contoh masa dekat Calungute Beach semua pakai bikini, bukan main lelaki-lelaki cuci mata amboiii tapi bila diorang terpandang kitorang they were like "What are those people wearingg" haha. Paling pentingg, jaga kehormatan diri :)



Okay bye assalamualaikum, back to realityy T_T

Malas

Oh god, my Goa story has been drafted for almost a week. Why am I so lazy? T_T


I'll continue writing tomorrow. Or day after tomorrow. Or day after that. Ehem. I'll share something here in order to compensate my laziness hehe.


Recently I read a book "Malam Pertama di Alam Syurga" (I know right, everyone loves the idea of heaven and everything nice in it). There is one beautiful hadith I want to share with everyone.


Pernah pada suatu hari para sahabat bertanya kepada Rasulullah : "Untuk siapakah Allah menyediakan kamar-kamar seperti itu ya Rasulullah?" (In heaven, Allah provides special rooms, houses and castles for those who are special in His eyes).


Rasulullah menjawab : "Bagi mereka yang menyebarkan salam, menyumbangkan makanan, yang berpuasa dan berjaga malam mengerjakan sembahyang sedangkan orang lain tidur nyenyak."


Lalu para sahabat bertanya lagi : "Siapakah yang tahan dan sanggup berbuat demikian ya Rasulullah?"


Jawab baginda lagi : "Umatku! Dengarlah, siapa yang bertemu sesama Muslim lalu dia memberi salam itu bermakna telaha menyebarkan salam. Barang siapa memberi makan anak-anak dan isterinya sampai kenyang bererti dia telah menyumbangkan makanan. Sesiapa yang berpuasa pada bulan Ramadhan dan ditambah dengan tiga hari pada setiap bulan itu bererti dia terus-menerus berpuasa. Dan siapa yang menunaikan sembahyang Isyak terakhir dengan jemaah bererti dia telah bersembahyang malam sedang manusia tidur." (Riwayat Abu Naim dari Jabir)


:')


Honestly, it's so easy to attain Jannah, subhanallah! The hardest part is to ... do good even when you're so lazy. Right? You know solat jemaah is a good thing, yet you rather spend your night in front of laptop or tv. Why? Because we are lazy like that. Kononnya I'm so tired after the whole day in the hospital. Tsk. That's so me (bisik).


So, try. Hard. Because we're not trying hard enough.


Assalamualaikum.

Habit

1) I love books, I do. I buy a lot of books but everyday I'm so busy I barely have time to read. Contoh, I bought "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee one year ago I read half of the book and I was so busy.. with things.. I have to reread because I forgot what's it all about. Now after a year, I only read 3/4 of the book. It is interesting! But I don't have time. Eh but last week I bought a book at the airport ("Forty Rules of Love" by Elif Shafak) I manage to read the whole book after 5-6 days haha maybe because it's something I can relate to. Eh eh. I don't know. It's my problem I think I can multitask in the end I forgot what I should do first -.-'



2) Now I'm in serious need of losing weight HAHAA you probably hearing this too many times before but now I'm really serious but today we have few guests from Mangalore we decided to cook and I.. have to eat.. because we cook a lot and there are only 10-11 of us haha so for the sake of jangan jadi kawan syaiiiton I have to eat. I'm sorry I ruin my mission T_T



3) I just got back from Goa but I need proper time and proper pictures then I will update (alasan).



4) Cats are so adorable I don't know why some people are afraid of cats. Contoh, Toby. He's always there. He's so lazy all he wanna do is sleep and scratch my legs. He's ugly and stink. He pees everywhere. He's so lazy to eat I have to feed him. But at the thought of losing him.. I just can't imagine. Now, that is love :)



5) Mom said I should come back to Malaysia on April. But I want to go travelling and discover Indiaaa (amboi). But I want to see my parents I want to meet my sister I want to eat proper nasi kerabu daging bakarr haha and I want to feel like a child again. I thought I'm ready to be 21 but at every thought of "tanggungjawab" I cringe. I can't do "tanggungjawab" I'm so young. But.. I'm 21. I just need some time to think it over. After all I'm 21 now.



6) So the first rule of friendship is "berlapang dada". Haip susah. But once you understand what "berlapang dada" is, you'll love everyone :)



7) I replay "Arjuna Beta" by Fynn Jamal hundreds of time. It makes me miss my parents so much. It reminds me of the chapter "cinta tanpa syarat" in "Aku Terima Nikahnya". Allah sifatnya Al-Wahhab. Ada lima sifat dalam Al-Wahhab - memberi tanpa meminta apa-apa balasan, memberi secara berulang-ulang, memberi tanpa diminta, memberi sesuatu yang amat berharga dan memberi sesuatu yang baik untuk menghasilkan kebaikan. The best thing is, Allah gives traces of Al-Wahhab to every parents in the world :') Listen to the song, I think that's what every parents think but only some parents know how to put it into a song haha *replay*.



8) I tried to explain but everything come out so wrong. It's not what I meant to say. But.. I'm sorry. At one point I know the only thing I can do now is pray for you to understand.



Assalamualaikum :)

Thought

These past few weeks have been kind of exhausting. I lost my appetite for 3-4 days then I wanted to eat expensive food then I just wanted to eat everything in sight. I don't know maybe because of exam's coming or maybe because of some other reasons. Tapiii haru la macam ni I lost my focus I forgot what are the signs and symptoms of malaria how to sit for exam like this T_T

Next week we're having our EOP (CP and OSCE) and also the theory papers for both Medicine and Surgery subjects. Makanya I have to revise everything I've learned in the past four months (ya Allah dah empat bulan cepatnya masa berlalu alahai what did I learned all this while haha) I have one week left but I feel like I don't know anything T_T 

Okay over sangat tu.. But I have the habit of reading EVERYTHING twice or thrice I'm perfectionist like that haha so now when time is limited I don't even finish reading the whole thing once. Tsk. Baiklah. Malam ni harus habiskan baca Respiratory System. Masuk posting surgery lagi focus on abdominal structures, kalau dulu hari-hari harus bawak stet kalau tak bawak rasa loser terus tak ada mood nak belajar sekarang seminggu sekali je bawak sebab auscultate bowel sound sangat tak menarik haha, macam dengar perut bila lapar haa itu la bowel sound. 

Sebenarnya.. sayang nak tinggal Surgeryy T_T Haa kemain dia cakap tak suka surgery la apa la bila dah masuk minggu akhir baru la. Huu akan rindu Dr Bargavaram yang suka pandang mata lelama rasa macam dia ajar I sorang je hahaa. Eh serius, kadang-kadang tak sempat nak salin apa-apa sebab kena fokus dengar satu-satu apa dia nak cakap. Okay la he's good, pretty much like Dr Rao, kalau dengarrr je apa dia cakap insyaallah melekat tak payah baca balik pun tak apa. 

Allah haiii bosannya blog ilmiah kemain haha. 

Hm hmmm my 19 year old friend is getting married! Ahh baru 19! Bila tanya dia si lelaki umur berapa? Ah 19 jugak?! Haha when I was 19 all I can think is what baju to wear to class and what to eat for lunch. I said to her are you ready for the responsibility? Ingat, this is no for fun je. I can give her basic advises like that because she's younger than me. Because I keep hearing those advises haha she said she thinks she's ready okay la, semoga Allah permudahkan :) 

EH DOAKAN KITA EXAM!

Pwetty friends :)
(baru dapat gambar lepas 4-5 bulan haha)

Semoga esok lebih baik daripada hari ini, assalamualaikum.

Januariiii

Hi it's 2013 yay I'm 21 years old what are my resolutions? (this is going to be short I don't have much time it's my bed time already T.T) I asked a lot of people; I asked my mom, my friends and lecturer too. Mom said she wants to "mengajar dengan semangat" this year haha some of my friends want to study harder.

Dr Bargavaram said "At my age all I want is good money for my family" and he said something about "Please enjoy you golden days as a student" okay, I'm definitely going to Goa by the end of this month (tetiba) :D

I told Dr Prakash I want to be less emotional and be happy everyday haha I even made a book to scribble down all those little things that make me happy. 

What else? 

I don't know, I just want to be good and please Allah and everyone around me. That's all for now. Oh, and one more thing. Tapi itu rahsia hewhew.

I'm loving my life. I just want to appreciate everything and stop complaining. Happy new year, assalamualaikum! :D

Goodbye

I hate goodbyes. But I'm glad I handle goodbyes better now. No, I'm not going to list all the memories I had with you we both know what we've been through I just hope things would be just fine for you because I care about you. You've been a really good friend, I thank you. 

How unexpected life is?

"Kita semua ada cita-cita sama kita lalui jalan yang sama tapi Allah yang pegang masa depan kita sekejap je Allah boleh ubah jalan hidup kita sepenuhnya".

Tabahkan hati, take care.

Today I spent 3 hours lebih kurang in the OT. We watched three upper GI endoscopy and one colonoscopy. Upper GI endoscopy is a barbaric procedure, I tell you. In India they don't give any anesthesia  for the patients so they simply push the camera (attached to a tube) inside the patient's mouth while holding the patient's hand to avoid any disturbance, up to second part of duodenum. Patient would be drooling and wanting to vomit. Just imagine T_T


The procedure selalunya lasts about 5-10 minutes but if the patient is not cooperative they will end it faster. Tapi kena la cooperative kan, no matter how teruk it is, better make it prefect for the first time so you don't have to repeat the same thing in future.


Afterward we watched appendectomy, Dr Prakash Babu is so kacak haha he did it in less than 20 minutes (by laparoscopy). It's the second appendectomy we see, and he keeps saying "Laparoscopy is the best method for appendectomy it won't leave much scar" to ME. Tsk. I said I had perforation during an open appendectomy last 3-4 years and my scar is ugly. K.


Then we had a patient with pilonidal sinus. Its a sinus (a blind tract) filled with pus at the natal cleft. Haha google it for better explanation. Hah teringat tadi I tried to explain to a patient what is goitre. Sangat awkward bila dia buat muka masa I cakap pasal hypo- and hyperthyroidism.


Anyway Dr Prakash did a wide excision in other word he removed all the infected flesh together with sinuses and pus and leave a huge hole in the butt. I had to ask "Sir are you going to leave it open like that?!" haha yes, it has to be left open to prevent any infection. Like Dr Prakash said "Infection is our biggest worry".


Later we watched hemithyroidectomy, which is the highlight of the day.


I continue writing this post two days later, and I forgot what I wanted to write. Er well.

*     *     *     *     *

I told a friend, I don't like Surgery as much as I like Medicine (I miss the rush of ward round in Medicine posting) but everyday I'm excited to go to hospital because I like the surgeons. Not because Dr Prakash is kacak je la, I like the other surgeons too, they all so charismatic and know Anatomy very wellll. I thought Anatomy is over once you finish the first year of MBBS haha. I shall marry a surgeon one day haha EH TETIBA.


Talking about marriage, a friend of mine got married yesterday. Every time I think of marriage I would think of my family. Let's say I get married at 22 (contoh), that means I just spend 22 years with my family?! Tolak all those years in boarding school, the foundation year, 2-3 years abroad.. Seems like we spend more time with our partner than our own parents. Tsk.


Eh, I'm not against early marriage, I'm just saying you know. But I'm all against getting married abroad without the presence of parents and families. Kalau dulu-dulu boleh la terima, balik Malaysia pun sekali dua je. But now, better go home and get married all you want haha. Marriage is not between two people its the whole family. Eh I'm not even married why I'm giving lecture about marriage haha kbye.


I'm at this age where everyone is talking about getting married, you know. It's hard. Haha.


Now this; "Dan orang-orang yang beriman serta mengerjakan kebajikan, Kami tidak akan membebani seseorang melainkan menurut kesanggupannya, Mereka itulah penghuni syurga; mereka kekal di dalamnya" (7:42). This is for you, if you find life is hard. I do. But I'll find ways to be happy everyday and be grateful for everthing I have been given so far. Alhamdulillah :')


Assalamualaikum.

Assalamualaikum.


I have cold and sore throat for the last few days. My voice is all croaky and I'm forbidden to eat a lot of things but as a typical doctor (to be) I don't listen to any of the doctor's advises, hence the worsened irritation at the back of my throat. Ehem. I forgot to take the antibiotics (amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate) 3-4 times, but I continue the regiment because those are expensive ones. Tak nak membazir. Hopefully there won't be any bacterial resistance in my guts..


I don't think I like Surgery much. It's so theoretical, I have to remember all those things I used to hafal in Anatomy segala arteries, nerves and whatnot. I miss playing doctors in Medicine posting, but OT is fun, no doubt about it. We got thyroidectomy this Thursday! Now I'm trying to mug up all the terms related to thyroid. Malasnya.. Lately I'm so malas but every time I'm so malas I would think of the faces of adik-adik who keep asking me how to belajar and all. Malu sikit bila bagi semangat kat orang lain tapi diri sendiri terkapai-kapai (over). Now I'm multitasking, I'm writing while my eyes are fixed to the anatomy of thyroid gland haha (tipu).


Dr Prakash Babu sangat kacak haha random. He's young and sweet, today he told us to study well and be the "front bench" students. He said he used to be the nakal students who did last minute study and hardly read books. I said "Eh, but you're a good surgeon now". He said "Oh thank you! I'm yet to be one, but thank you for the compliment". Haha it's totally different with Dr RKT in Medicine posting, he's very charismatic and he knows he knows everything and tell everyone that he knows everything HAHAA. But its acceptable la, because everyone knows he's good.


Since Sindhi Hospital is a small hospital, I get the chance to relax a bit in this posting. Except kalau ada OT we would stand hours and crack our heads trying to answer Dr PB's questions. See, I have to be rajin now. Why am I so malas?! Kadang-kadang I'm too malas to think I just google the answer but he knows! He would say "Where's your phone?" maka all I could do is sengih -.-'''


I miss my family, serius nak balik tapi Abah cakap "Kena fokus". K Abah. Lagi sentap bila kawan bagitahu "Faham tak perasaan seronok niiii?", k dah beli tiket. Kata nak jadi independent, masa ni la nak cuba. Gulp. Cuba.



Bye assalamualaikum. Semoga esok lebih baik daripada hari ni :)

My life revolves around friends, since I spent so many years away from family kekadang rasa I spent more time with friends instead of growing up with my family. I have to admit that I'm not a good friend, I find my faults in my friends and most of the time I wish they are more like me (haha).

Ala, biasa la kan tak puas hati perangai dia macam ni, perangai yang itu macam tu. Reminds me of, I kan share banyaaak benda dengan parents I, Umi especially. Kalau tak suka kawan ni perangai macam ni terus call Umi mengadu (sekarang dah matang, kekadang je mengadu macam ni haha) satu hari tu I skype dengan Abah, lupa pakai headphone. Masa tu ada beberapa orang kawan, sekali Abah tanya "Mana kawan awak yang pemalas tu?" haha kantoiiiii panggil kawan si pemalas terus buat muka kat Abah dan cepat-cepat berlari cari headphone. 

Rupa-rupanya selama 20 tahun berkawan ada dua benda yang tertinggal. Satu, ikhlas. Satu lagi, sabar. 

Ikhlas.

Purity of intention. Straightforwardness in thought. Pursuit of no worldly purpose in one's relationship Allah and loyalty in servant hood to Allah.

Ada seorang kawan I kan, dia baik sangat. Baik as in baik gila sesekali I fikir kenapa la kau baik sangat, menyusahkan diri ada la. Sampai la satu hari I terbaca (stalker) pesanan dia untuk diri sendiri "Mak cakap kalau nak orang baik dengan kita, kita kena jadi baik dengan orang", rasanya semua orang suka dia. Siapa tak suka orang baik? Come on. 

Boleh relate tak?

Ala. Fail la nak share. Maklum la, I pun baru tahu rahsia ukhuwah (persahabatan). Nak bagi contoh paling senang la.

Sekarang kan clinical years, satu hari spent kat hospital balik rumah penat gila. Laparnya, kan best kalau dah ada orang masak tinggal nak makan je. Tetiba ada housemate nak masakkan, walaupun kita tahu dia penat sama la balik sama-sama lambat sama-sama nak ada exam minggu depan (contoh). Esoknya balik rumah penat lagi balik rumah housemate yang sama dah siap masak, ajak makan sesama. Kenapa dia rajin sangat nak bagi kita makan bukan ke kita sama-sama penat?

Ini la ikhlas, buat sesuatu kebaikan tanpa fikir banyak (sempat ke nak masak tak habis lagi belajar macam mana niii contohnya), bila buat kebaikan tak harapkan balasan dan rasa senang dengan kebaikan itu :)

Tahu, cakap memang senang. Tapi kalau tak cuba tak tahu. Macam kalau tak kena maka tak cinta. Eh.

Assalamualaikum, doakan kita exam lusa! :)

Nah kucing pemalas.

Diwali

It's Diwaliiii what I like most about the Diwali is the fireworks! Semalam sanggup panjat rooftop duduk setengah jam tengok fireworks haha seronok, kalau tahun lepas batch kitorang gigih beli mercun bagai main ramai-ramai atas rooftop. Tapi tahun ni macam tak meriah sangat agaknya malam ni baru meriah malam ni tak dapat la nak lepak atas rooftop esok dah start sekolah wuu T_T


Eh lupa bagi salam, assalamualaikum :)


Masa sangat cepat berlalu, tiba-tiba tinggal lagi dua minggu nak habis posting Medicine, 1 minggu exam dan minggu seterusnya dah masuk posting Surgery. Medicine best, sebab belajar tak susah sangat semua dah pernah belajar sekarang lebih fokus on signs and symptoms dan yang paling penting how we enquire the patients about their symptoms (history taking). Phew, bukan senang nak diagnose penyakit rupanya. Tapi kalau based on your surrounding, contohnya sekarang musim denggi so bila ada patients admit complaining of demam, rashes, sakit belakang etc etc haa, denggi la tu.


Kalau kat Sindhi Hospital, benda yang paling common; complications of Diabetes Mellitus (kencing manis), chronic liver disease due to alcohol - sign palingg common is ascites (fluid accumulation in abdominal cavity), congestive cardiac failure, pneumonia  malaria, dengue, cholelithiasis (batu karang kot, eh entah tak sure) etc etc. Ada la sesekali case menarik contohnya "mak cik murmur" agaknya ada congenital valvular defect (malas nak refer case file hewhew) setiap kali I turun ward A mesti pergi auscultate sebab nak dengar murmur. Macam mana nak classify apa jenis murmur, kena auscultate sambil tangan stau lagi rasa dia punya carotid pulse kalau pulse/murmur serentak makanya it's a systolic murmur (Linda ajar) :)


Eh sebenarnya nak cerita benda lain.


Dua minggu lepas (kot) ada juniors baru datang Bangalore. Seronok berkenalan (akhirnya I'm a real senior sebab diorang 18-19 tahun juniors sebelum ni sama umur kot haha), bawak diorang shopping jalan-jalan makan-makan, funny I used to be those juniors and I was so scared and trying so hard to be nice to those seniors sekarang they barely recognize me T_T. Treat people the way you wanna be treated, makanya I decided to be nice to these adik-adik and hafal semua nama dengan harapan sampai bila-bila boleh ingat bila jumpa mana-mana boleh hai semua orang :)


Soalan paling famous dalam kalangan adik-adik;


"Akak, macam mana belajar?"


Selalu I akan jawab benda sama - belajar continuous, hari-hari kena baca buku, baca dua tiga kali. Semalam I jawab lain sikit; I told the truth. Ehem. Truth is, I have the shortest attention span, paling lama I boleh mengadap buku is half an hour. Lepas tu rasa hebatnya setengah jam dah belajar terus reward diri sendiri dengan bukak Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, makan, tengok tv eh sejam kemudian baru sambung baca. Apa ni T_T Sebab tu I belajar selalu, sikit-sikit tapi selalu. Sebab nak fokus 3-4 jam macam mustahil. Orang suka cakap I nerd sebab selalu baca buku, cuba diorang duduk dalam bilik I selama 1-2 jam haa nampak la macam mana I struggle nak fokus T_T


"Akak, kalau pergi program sana sini tak ganggu belajar ke?"


Masa I first year dulu I selalu skip program apa-apa sebab I nak belajar. Housemates I masa tu suka pergi surau, pergi program itu ini (as in usrah, rehlah, jaulah) tapi I ada la alasan sebab tak nak ikut I nak belajar (nerd). Alhamdulillah, first year dapat distinction. Bila second year I tetiba rasa seronok nak ikut program, risau jugak pasal eh tak habis baca lagi macam mana niii, tapi last-last sempat je baca. Kakak-kakak selalu cakap "semoga masa yang awak habiskan kat sini (contohnya daurah), Allah akan balas balik". Alhamdulillah second year dapat distinction :)


In the end it's not about how much the time you spend to read but the quality of reading - yang penting faham faham faham, there's no excuse to skip usrah sebab nak belajar hewhewhew (gelak sopan).


"Akak, bila nak kahwin?"


Haa yang ni I malas layan.


Eh dua minggu lagi exam la bye nak belajar. Assalamualaikum :)
