Assalamualaikum and good day.
Hope it had been a fine, fine, week for you in the newest year of our life.
In this week, one of the fillings in my little brown book is the PSP (Medical Student Association) debate match which i already ticked done. I trully appreciate the effort to promote debate in the school as we are indeed in total lack of it. However, sadly, there were only 2 groups took part in it. One group is the obvious, which is from usmkk debate club (is it official anyway?) and the contender was a group which we pulled together out of nowhere somewhere.. (as Iqbal said if we don’t do this, the only one registered team will win undefeated, and i am not willing to let a debate won without any actual jaw-jaw done. Tabik spring kat Iqbal yang berani mencuba debat bahasa Inggeris walaupun dia sebenarnya lebih arif dalam debat bahasa Melayu & Hatif yang memang bidan terjun tulen. I admit that even I hesitated to join due to months of zero brainstorming on matters that matters.) However, the lack of participation is a blame to no one, as here in usmkk, we rarely find promotion or exposure on debate thingy. Many just haven’t experience it and doesn’t know yet, that it’s really a natural high (as for me, at least) to speak out on something important, knowing that you actually have a mind on things that concerns the community. And that brings me to what i was thinking prior to letting my phalanges run on the keyboard.
After the debate, I read through our ‘discussion’ that i wrote down in my brown book and i realized, there were lots of flaws done during the debate, from my side of the team. Some of the points i elaborated on were away from our stance-the real thing we supposed to fight for-, and some other errors and ramblings that I shoudn’t have done. So what actually have i been rambling on about? Where are the analysed pieces of thoughts by the readings done? Have i really been reading anything? Have i actually been talking nonsenses just to get over a debate? To win one?
There are two kind of debaters – the one who really want to have an opinion on matters and wants his thought to be heard and counted in for the better solution, and another, is the one who doesn’t really care about the world, he just wants to fight about it. (well there maybe more, but my brain just have this capacity. muahaha)
I’m afraid that as the time fly by, i have been a little ’shallow’, and might fall into the second category. I realised i read less of books/webs on facts or intellectual minds in blogs nowadays. My interest have shifted to blogs with lots and lots of photos, especially on fashion and interior designs. But then, it’s not a crime, is it? Eheh..heh..heheh.. heh.. Hmm..
Adoila…then i guess i am in jeopardy of turning into someone the attitude i swore to hate dislike a bit. Read more please, Iliana. Do not let your mind starve and die in ignorance.

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all.
And yes, it is a very good day indeed. It’s my favourite weather happening – with bits of rainy and sunshine-y. And green predominates the colours outside my window. So cosy and beautiful. I love to watch people walking / just hanging around in the rain with their umbrellas up too, illuminating rainbows apart from from the potential natural one. It has been like this since yesterday, the cold weather ‘lullaby-ing’ many of us who already were super-sleepy from new year’s eve celebration, not allowing us to get up and gear up for the day ahead – which is duper-dangerous for this particular girl who’s having professional exam in medicine in not 3 months! Arkk!!
Yeah ok i know, some of you might be saying, “So what are you doing here (+ facebooking)?!! Get out and hit the books already!!” – believe me, i’ve been saying the same thing to myself, and so, err…just a brief update?
Well okay, nothing much, just that on new years eve, while i planned to set back and read with cuppa mugga of coffee in my hand the whole midnight till morning, suzana texted me, inviting to watch the eclipse at the beach. And i thought, wow, eclipse on new year’s eve! That’s something! And so we went.
We’ve departed a bit late from the campus as we’ve to wait for Sue and Yana to get done with their aerobics training (they’re on the campus aerobic team. yes, the all-time champ in inter-campus aerobics, aerobic team). So we kinda missed the fireworks part.
And for the first time in my life, (reminding you, i am actually a Kelantanese – no biggy) i now know the route to Pantai Cahaya Bulan! Muahahhaa.. Now when my friends visit, i can proudly say, “I can bring you to PCB, by car.” muahahhaha…
Because we couldn’t really see the eclipse (some say it’s actually just a full moon, i don’t know, confused by the tabloids too), we end up unwinding with the cool breeze and camwhoring instead! Here are some pictures of us:

my finger pointing at the moon which we can't seem to adore much of its sight due to heavily clouded sky.

I was actually just posing 'shocked' when coincidentally there were firecrackings and shocked me for real. on the left: neurofibliary tangle as seen by suzanna. ;P
Dibby: I wanna get better pointer this year!
Me too! More or less, since my course doesn’t go by pointer.
Have a great year ahead!

Sure, there are qada n qadar. But God must have given you cognitive function for a reason, doesn’t He? Work for it, sunshine. Don’t ever give up. Miracle happens to the lucky ones. And only the ones who put effort are lucky.
.Invictus.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley

Go on. But bear in mind, it’s not without ‘complication’.
Problem with talking too much:
#1 asking for too much attention.
#2 blaming & never forgiving.
#3 revealing own weakness without even realizing.
#4 misdirected anger and frustration leading to confusion and self-insecurity.
#5 u’ll loose insight to what’s right and wrong .
In conclusion, speak when needed, read before asking and ask to the right person at the right time unless to show how cheap, easy and immature you are.
This is just a personal documentation of a piece of thought i get from Wira. No relation to whoever howsoever. Don’t find youself dwelling in this emo-seeming excerpt. Move on baby.

Assalamualaikum and good day!
Rupanya macam ni,
I got to know that the sunathon is not for everyone who registered. Well yeah, if you come to think about it, it make sense. If 500 students registered, there isn’t like there ARE 500 circumcision needed to be done. So, there is selection. Only a few lucky ones get to be involved. They were all informed by text messages. And me got no text. *sigh* After all the excitement, hadoihla…. But I think there’d be no harm to join along the sunathon as a mere observer..kot?

Nikmatnya apabila doa dikabulkan. Betapa gembira. Air mata pun tiada makna dalam saat bahagia seperti ini. You are heard! Dalam berjutajutajuta hamba-Mu, aku antara yang terpilih jua. Tiada kata yang setimpal untuk menandakan kesyukuran ini. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. *senyum*

Assalamualaikum and good day!
Becoming a surgeon this 18th. Hopefully. Hehe..it’ll be just a minor surgery. Berkhatan aje.
Coincidentally got an article on berkhatan on today’s Berita Harian. However not much relevance to the upcoming experience i suppose. Here’s a little excerpt from the article:
Apa pandangan anda mengenai budaya dan teknik berkhatan moden?
Jelas sekali kita menempuh fasa baru dalam proses berkhatan. Pada Sunathon 2009, kita mencuba kaedah baru yang antara lain menggantikan proses menjahit dengan gam khas pada kulit.
Bukan saja kaedah ini lebih kemas dan mudah, hampir tiada darah terhasil sekali gus menjadikan proses ini lebih selamat.
Bagaimana agaknya anda berdepan dengan kerenah kanak-kanak sebelum proses berkhatan?
Macam-macam boleh berlaku sebelum proses berkhatan bermula. Bagi saya, sudah lumrah semua kanak-kanak berasa cemas untuk disunatkan. Apatah lagi, mendengar pelbagai cerita yang disampaikan membuatkan mereka berasa takut apabila tiba waktu untuk disunatkan.
Namun, ini semua bergantung kepada diri mereka sendiri untuk menguasai perasaan takut hingga selesai proses berkhatan.
Boleh anda kongsi serba sedikit pengalaman anda menyempurnakan proses berkhatan?
Memang banyak kisah membabitkan kanak-kanak yang hendak bersunat ini. Tidak kira usia kecil atau besar, masing-masing ada ragam sendiri.
Tidaklah bermakna, usia 11 atau 12 tahun menjadikan kanak-kanak berani. Ini kerana ada si kecil yang berusia tujuh tahun tidak berasa takut disunatkan. Selain meronta-ronta, ada juga yang bersembunyi di bawah katil kerana tidak mahu dikhatankan.
Apa sebenarnya punca kanak-kanak cukup takut bersunat?
Selain mendengar cerita rakan-rakan yang bersunat, perasaan takut timbul sebaik mereka mendengar kanak-kanak lain menangis terutama selepas proses berkhatan.
Ini secara tidak langsung mengganggu psikologi kanak-kanak. Disebabkan itulah, sebolehnya kita tidak mahu kanak-kanak menangis terutama apabila acara berkhatan beramai-ramai diadakan.

When he look at you, and you look back,
“eh perasannya budak ni..mesti ingat aku tgh tengok dia.”
When he beat-around-the bush-ing, and you say “hi.” out of pure friend-making intention,
“poyo nye, cam desperate aje dia. haha x jd ah. @ layan je ah.”
When you stammer in front of him, due to pressure of being watched (and maybe afraid to being judged) + poor memory,
“heheh..asal aku ada je dia cmni. cuak ngan aku arr tu”
and even,
When you meet old buddies, (whom you thought time never flies when you meet again) and excitedly greeting them like, “hi! eyh, how are you?”
and they’d (or HE’D) be like,
“ahahaha asal minah ni overexcited ngat neh.” *giggle2 with other male homosapiens*
Among the situations / monologues you, in innocence, might’ve never thought to occur in reality if you didn’t hear it yourself from your knew-too-well guy peeps. (or at least I didn’t thought so).
Poor us girls…if we cared about it. lol.
Oh well..just a nostalgia of some secondary school issues.
and by the weh,
I have We have formed a new studygroup! – since i seem to have some difficulties in keeping up with the schedule of the previous studygroup, plus some mind-boggling personal issues (there’s always that). Muahaha
Our studygroup now consist of:
Und ME!
After a few sessions with the newly-formed one, i am so far satisfied with the discussion sessions and hope can go far with these peeps. But hell, still got A LOT to cover for the upcoming exams! weep weeeeeepp~
But we still have one month right? ONE month…just ONE, month… And professional exam is in TWO months..TWO (2) months..and SUKAD (inter-campus tournament) is in the end of January..THIS COMING January…
No pressure.
So while i’m still figuring out Myasthaenia Gravis, i might gonna have butt kicked by the tennis coach and seniors.
Adoiii.

Assalamualaikum & good day!
Cekgu Farah pernah kata, blogs can help you polish up your English. Jadi memandangkan ada hasrat untuk polish English saya yang makin ke longkang pada ketika itu, saya pun menulislah dgn bahasa Inggeris. Tapi macam ada restriction sikit kalau menulis dalam bahasa orang England pabila bukan native speaker. Jadi pernah fikir nak buat lagi satu blog dalam bahasa Melayu, tapi difikir2 balik;
1) macamlah tadak entry rojak dalam Royal Ramble sebelum ni.
2) macamlah byk masa nak mengupdate more than one blog acct. Yang satu ni pun cepat berhabuk.
jadi mari kita berbahasa ibunda! (err…rojak actually) ;P
Saya sebenarnya tgh survey kasut tennis untuk menggantikan kasut lama. (sedih main kasut pinjam aje…) Jadi sekarang mahu beli :
or
But then these two seems a bit out of reach. So if (financially) i can get any closer to a Reebok, it might be this:
Saya akan bersyukur..
I was thinking to set out for them tomorrow jugak wif Mr.Didi Aiman, but then he’s coming here to pick me up so we might not shop around anywhere in KL or Selangor where there’ll be more choices (coz it’ll seem ridiculous for your guy to drive all the way to pick you up just to bring you shop for shoes in his town which is a two hours drive BACK and then drive back to send you home). So..i’ll go look for them on Saturday instead.
Don’t have plans yet for tomorrow but whatever! He’ll be HERE WITH ME~~ and we’ll take our own sweeeeet time together. Where and what i just won’t care~~ i think. ;P
Okies better off to sleep now. Takmo jadi macam hari tu..Didi da sampai depan pintu da baru nak bersiap. Need outfit pairings lagi ni..aiyak.. Nitey nite.

Cute. I thought it was a girl singing, despite the lyrics. Turn out to be the 15 year old Justin! With the wordings, i think he’s utterly cute.
Plus i’m in a really good mood today. So every songs that come into my ear has really tune up in me. Be it classical to RnB.
Have got nothing to say actually. Just that i am in love.
and by the way,
I can reach my dream too.
