salam..

lame sungguh AA tak update blog..sakit, sibuk, malas, procrastinate..
AA dah balik UK semula..sedih tinggalkan rumah lagi sekali...tapi inshaAllah.. it wont be long...despite the bad stories regarding working in Malaysia.. i still want to go back.. hopefully i'll persevere.. 5 years being away is too long..enough.. i want to be with daddy... losing ummi made me realize..time lost cant never been redeemed.. no matter what..as for career wise..i'll just go with the flow..

haish..enough with mellow stories..tehehehe

alhamdulillah...
AA dah dapat lagi ahli keluarga baru..abang ipar..hehe..welcome to our family although it's a bit late..but thank you for marrying my sister..hopefully you two will lead a happy life ever after..aisey..tibe2 jiwa terasa lagi mellow..

aaa...ape lagi ye..i'm really bad at telling stories and updating news..ingat nk letak gambat tapi tatau nk pilih yang mana satu..nanti la AA fikirkan..

yang penting be strong..and be thankful with what you already had/have..

thank you, salam..

the longed summer break

2010-05-31T00:27:00.003+01:00

muwahaahahahahahahhaahaahahaaaa...

salam semua..
gelak dulu baru bagi salam...membayangkan betapa gembiranya AA berada di rumah..home sweet home indeed..well, to be exact, it's actually home hot home..malaysia sungguh panas..seingat AA tahun lepas tak adalah sepanas ni..hahaha..but never mind, I am tolerating the hot weather (yelah sangat... dah seminggu jadi garang, alih2 pegi pasang aircond kat dalam bilik, ha!)
sekarang semua orang sangat sibuk..yelah nak menyambut orang baru katakan..AA jumpa ayah pun sekali sehari je..sibuk membeli barang..AA plak.. sibuk mengemas rumah..hmm bercakap pasal rumah..rumah memang macam tongkang pecah..adakah ini kerana persiapan kenduri atau kerana rumah ini memiliki 2 orang lelaki muda (adik2 kesyanganku) yang memang hobinya menyapahkan barang2..haha..AA pun tak berapa pasti..

ok,sampai sini sahaja..tak tahan mengadap laptop lama2 kat sini..PANAS..hahahhaa.. oleh kerana esok baru sampai aircond, harini jom kita gi mandi air terjun lagi...best gile!

Normal vs Abnormal?

2010-04-16T21:20:00.003+01:00

how can we say that something is normal if we haven't come across into the abnormal ones?

that was just a thought..(tibe2 terfikir waktu on the way balik rumah tadi)

oh ye, tadi dapat sedikit pengisian daripada sister Fullah.. sangat menarik bile dia naikkan isu ini:

situasi 1:

Doktor jumpa seorang pesakit yang sakit sebab makan makanan tak sihat (nak bagi obvious, kita bagi contoh racun yang sedap lah). Lepas tu doktor bagi ubat kat pesakit tu untuk 'treat' dia. tapi lepas tu pesakit gi makan balik racun, pastu sakit, datang balik minta ubat racun itu. doktor pun terpaksa lah merawat pesakit itu dan menyediakan ubat. banyak lah duit NHS yang habis untuk kos ubat dan rawatan walhal 'treatment' yang sebenar-benarnye hanyalah dengan tidak makan racun itu.

situasi 2:

Doktor jumpa seorang wanita yang berumur 18 tahun yang datang untuk mengugurkan kandungan atas alasan dia masih muda, tidak berkahwin, teman lelakinya baru sahaja meninggalkannya dan kandungan itu adalah 'unwanted'. oleh sebab itu, doktor pun menandatangani 'the blue form' yang membolehkan wanita itu menggugurkan kandungannya. Selepas itu, doktor itu terpaksa menghabiskan masa berjam-jam untuk menerangkan segala jenis alatan pencegah kehamilan yang ada di muka bumi ini supaya perempuan itu tidak akan "termengandungkan" lagi 'the so-called unwanted child'. bukan itu sahaja, atas sebab polisi NHS, doktor itu terpaksa pula memberi bekalan kondom dan pil pencegah kehamilan kepada wanita itu secara percuma. betambah pula beban NHS bila mana 'treatment' sebenarnye hanyalah dengan tidak melakukan zina.

bezanya dua situasi di atas, doktor dalam situasi 1 dianggap 'incompetent' dan boleh dipecat kerana tidak menjalankan tugas menasihati pesakit 1 untuk tidak memakan racun dan hanya menghabiskan duit NHS manakala doktor situasi 2 dianggap 'judgemental' jika menasihati pesakit 2 untuk tidak berzina. Doktor situasi 2 boleh juga dipecat jika tidak memberikan maklumat secukupnya kepada pekasit 2 tentang cara-cara mencegah kehamilan yang berkesan.

bukankah dua situasi ini sama sahaja yang mana rawatannya adalah pencegahan akar umbi..

situasi 1: JANGAN MAKAN RACUN

situasi 2: JANGAN BERZINA

What A Nice Day (part II)

2010-04-11T17:29:00.005+01:00

remember when I wrote that I couldn't afford to go out in my previous entry..

I ACTUALLY LIED...sorry..

a few hours after publishing that entry, I went out to town.. ekekekekeke =p

but hey, mind you, I didn't buy many things, just 2 books for my little brothers.. I'm sure they will like them..

at night, me and su went for a movie in Savoy cinema. we watched 'the clash of the titans'..sigh~~ it was such a bad movie although I might give credits to the action-packed scenes in it..

on Saturday (which was yesterday)

I went out again..hihi..and it's the whole day from 9am-7pm. ekekekkekekee

Fiqa, Irina, and I went to Alton Tower Theme Park..wicked!.. the rides were crazy, the queue was never-ending, but the scenery, mashaAllah, magnificent! we managed to ride the oblivion, the rabbit-floating, rita, and the nemesis which was the most intense ride in the world! they were craaaaaazyyyy!!!!

the oblivion ride

Alton Tower Theme Park
Rita ride

we ended the day with dinner at KFC, together with the other house mates.. it was so much fun since I couldn't remember when was the last time all 8 of us went eating out together..

I think that's all for now..I feel sorry for breaking up the promise I made.. but yeah, it's Easter holiday and it's spring! I think I deserved a break..ha!

Salaam..

p/s: which reminds me, tomorrow is Monday and my Easter break will be over in a few more hours.

p/s/s: the KFC is halal and it's located at Alfredton Road in Hyson Green =)

What A Nice Day

2010-04-08T13:32:00.003+01:00

the title says it all...

at last, the sun comes out today..he's been a shy lad for a few days..

tsk..tsk..it is very tempting to go out, enjoying the sun, indulging the breeze..

the view from my room's slanting window

but..sadly..

N.O.

the answer is no...huuu...I can't afford to go out today... my revision plan is still falling behind, my money is 'ciput'---------> thanks to 2 pairs of shoes, an mp4 and its skin case, a new body shop lip gloss and a tube of concealer...uwaaaaaaaaaa... in addition, I'm still in my pink pyjamas...

so..lupakan je la...let's go back studying..

my messy study desk (meraung minta dikemaskan =p)

salaam...

not-so-called holiday

2010-04-05T23:41:00.002+01:00

Salam..

It's been long time...hihii..nothing much to say really..I'm in the middle of Easter break which is only a week (too much for a medical student aiye?)

anyway, we are not going anywhere during this holiday..the reasons are:

no money equals to no funding
no time equals to exam in 6 weeks time
plus an acquired condition called m.a.l.a.s...ever heard of it?

arghh....this entry is too bored...just like me at present..

okay, let's go back to studying..

daa~~~

today is an interesting day..random i must say but very interesting..
i received an email from an unknown guy via facebook..regarding a very random topic..
he was discussing about me in his email...can u imagine?

an unknown guy basically telling me that i wear tudung and he likes that, i am a lil bit plump but that's acceptable, i am not ugly but not overly preety either, i am short but that's okay too..lastly, he said i would not have problem with getting someone to date me..

scary, aite?

and very very random too....

i mean helloooo....i dont know you..and out of the blue you are so concern about me getting a boyfriend? how random is that?...and NO, I AM NEITHER LOOKING FOR A BOYFRIEND NOR NEEDING ONE at the moment..puas hati?

anyway..i took some preventative measures afterwards..

i replied by saying that i thank him for his concern but i can take care of myself and i do not wish for a stranger to worry about me
i revised my personal details and settings on facebook
i privatised all pictures in my fb account..(only friends can view my albums after today)

hehe..k..tu je..

salaam.....

p/s: how many times did i type 'random' in this entry?

Anis suka..

2010-02-21T14:57:00.002Z

brother Ibrahim...

hoh scandal?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
ampun..anis...jangan marah kalau terbace entry ni..hihi..

Salaam.....
Brother Ibrahim ni salah sorang pemuda islam yang menyertai konvoi viva palestine. viva palestine ni pulak ditubuhkan oleh beberapa orang yang prihatin (termasuklah si brother Ibrahim ni) terhadap kesulitan orang-orang di palestine yang tidak mendapat bekalan ubat-ubatan secukupnya. Jadi, dorang amik keputusan untuk kutip derma di seluruh UK dan beli ubat-ubatan dan barang keperluan lain. lepas agak2 dah banyak dapat derma, dorang pun konvoi dengan van bersama barang2 bantuan untuk ke Palestine melalui Jordan dan Mesir.
Jadi..
apa bezanya brother Ibrahim(yang si anis ni suka sangat) dengan ahli2 viva palestine yang lain?
sampai je kat Mesir, dorang terpaksa 'deal' dengan karenah2 birokrasi Mesir yang tak bagi dorang konvoi melalui Mesir..ntah la..yang ni AA pun tak faham nape..dah la negara Islam, dah la dorang2 yang kat Mesir ni tak nak tolong orang2 palestine..pastu..dah ada orang lain yang nak tolong ni..dorang tak bagi plak..memang ntah pape..
sepanjang perjalanan melalui Mesir..ahli2 viva palestine ni ditahan dan disoal setiap kali checkpint sekatan jalan..lepas tu pulak..ade barang2 bantuan yang mereka bawa dirampas..ish tak logik sungguh
walaubagaimanapun..akhirnya pemuda2 berani ini sampai juga ke sempadan antara Mesir dan palestine..tapi masalahnya..tentera/polis bersenapang yang dok jaga sempadan ni tak nak bagi diorang lalu. siap acah nak tembak lagi..
waktu ni la..brother Ibrahim yang berasal dari Scotland ni tampil ke hadapan..dengan hati yang teguh dan yakin dengan pertolongan dari Allah serta bersenjatakan lidah, beliau dengan lantang memberi ucapan di hadapan tentera Mesir yang bersenjata ini. beliau menyelar mereka2 yang tidak sanggup membantu saudara2 di palestine dan merayu serta cuba menyakinkan pasukan bersenjata bahawa mereka tidak ada niat lain selain hanya ingin membantu saudara2 di palestine, demi Allah.
ikuti ucapan ringkas dari brother Ibrahim di bawah..sangat menyentuh hati:

"dari hati saya kepada hati kamu" -------->quote yang sangat digemari Anis..

oh ye..kami jumpe brother Ibrahim waktu palestine conference minggu lepas. waktu ni Anis memang gembira bukan kepalang. dapat gak berjumpa dengan idola dia, selalu tengok kat youtube aje..heh..semasa bengkel viva palestine, brother Ibrahim banyak cerita tentang pengalaman semasa di palestine..kalau ada yang berminat nak tahu..nnt AA cerita di entry2 lain..tapi memang menyayat hati..

p/s: anis memang suka brother Ibrahim ni tapi tade la suka yang macam nak kawen tu.. ni suka sebab hormat dan memandang tinggi terhadap beliau..lagipun beliau sudah kahwin agaga..dah ade anak pun...

Salaam...
Sempena meraikan 4 biji jerawat yang baru bertapak pagi tadi, yess!! I will post an entry about acne, the so-called jerawat..hehe

A few facts regarding acne

it affects 85% of people between the ages of 12-24 (hoh..ramai tu!)
onset usually at puberty (bila baligh)
kalau ikut sexes, remaja laki lebih ramai yang dapat jerawat ni tapi kebanyakannya (remaja laki..chewah..pelik pulak type remaja laki hehe) pulih (atau jerawat hilang) by late teens or 20s
30% perempuan dan 1% lelaki masih mempunyai masalah jerawat sehingga berumur 25 tahun dan yang paling tak best - 10% of the affected women may continue to have acne problems up until they reach 40's

the picture below shows the most common type of acne - black/white heads ataupun nama saintifiknya - open/closed comedones (lepas ni kalau orang tanye boleh cakap, "what, these?..oh, they are just comedones" bestkan?..hehehhe) what causes acne?

poor hygiene
chocolates (oh no!!!)
fatty foods a.k.a nasi lomak, french fries, ayam gorem kfc yadayadayada..

TIDAK..TIDAK..SAMA SEKALI TIDAK. The 3 points above DO NOT cause acne...i saje je wat drama..hehe.mereka hanyalah mitos belaka (fuh, lega!), disebar oleh golongan2 yang dengki dengan orang cantik yang suka makan coklat dan makanan berlemak muahahaha..

Yang sebenarnya, dragon ball ade 7 biji kesemuanya..eh tak..acne is caused by an increase in the sebum excretion rate resulting in the abnormalities in follicular keratinisation and desquamation. this area of follicle is then colonised by bacteria called Proprionibacterium acne causing inflammation.

The inflammatory lesions can be erythematous papules (biji2 merah), pustules (biji2 bernanah), nodules (biji besar merah, berdarah atau bernanah), cysts (ape malay translation die ek?) and abcesses (ni pun i tak pasti bm nye translation, gomenassai..)

Biasenya, acne resolve by themselves, with a few exceptions in which severe ones do need intervention and medical treatment. some examples of bad acnes can be viewed in the photos below:ni gambar jerawat2 merah (erythematous) yang ada nanah sekali. blackheads can also be seen all over the face.ini pula kes jerawat yang parah dan memerlukan rawatan intensif (kes berat ni..kalau kat UK ni, budak laki yang ade jerawat camni siap boleh bunuh diri tau..due to depression and very low self-esteem).the above and the last picture shows a woman with acne scars.

How do we treat acne

retinoids (eg: isotretinoin, adapelene)
antibacterials (eg: benzoyl peroxide)
antibiotics (eg: erythromycin)

but bear in mind that these drugs have side effects and some of them are even teratogenic (teratogenic=able to disrupt the growth and development of an embryo or fetus) so one must seek medical advice from doctors before commencing treatment. in addition, avoiding factors which aggravate acne will also help such as:

occlusive cosmetics
hair products
heat/humidity (patutla ramai org ade jerawat kat malaysia termasuk saya..huhu)
excessive washings

ok tu je..hope it helps!

p/s: gambar2 di atas bukan diambil dari jerawat AA. Sekian, terima kasih =p

palestine conference

2010-02-14T12:56:00.005Z

salaam...

yesterday, 13/02, me, fiqa, and anis went to Manchester to attend Palestine Conference which were organised by FOSIS and Manchester's ISOC. thumbs up to them for organising a very interesting and informative programme. the conference started at 11am and finished at around 7pm.
a number of famous, great speakers such as Dr. Azzam Tamimi, Idris Taufiq, Dr. Daud Abdullah and many more were invited to the conference and they had enlighten us with a lot of information on the occupation of Israel, the history of palestine and its current potical turmoil.
we also got the chance to meet the three moslem brothers who joined 'viva palestine' and listened to their bittersweet journey to West Bank Gaza in order to escort and give the aid (medicines, money, and food) to the palestinians, mashaAllah!.
overall, it was a very fruitful event. listening to the stories of our borthers and sisters' suffering made my heart ached all over - rasa sangat insaf dengan diri sendiri!
oh Allah, the greatest savior, engkau selamatkan dan bantulah saudara-saudara kami di sana, ameen...

p/s: di saat saudara-saudara kita kat palestine dibunuh, dibom, dan dihalau dari kediaman mereka...apa yang kita sedang buat? apa sedang kita risaukan? - duit tak masuk lagi? esok nak pakai baju apa? bila nak dapat boyfriend?.hmmm.......

there's just too much food in my fridge

2010-02-10T00:27:00.002Z

salaam...

fyi, i'm in mansfield at the moment

doing special modules which include ophthalmology, dermatology, and ENT

this week is not as lonely as last week

since i managed to meet couple of friends

and just sort of hang out together

and oh..i've got a new flatmate too

she's a girl..thank goodness..

not that i don't believe in guy medics..

it's just that it would be too uncomfortable wearing 'tudung' 24/7

especially while cooking (not that i love cooking whatsoever..ngeh)

last night, i invited A and E (not the A&E as in Accidents and Emergency LOL) for dinner

we had rice, salmon curry, and cheese cake

it was fun!
the get-together-catching-up-stories-plus-dinner went on and on for hours

spent quite some time gossiping too..haha (typical girls!)

so yeah..i didn't manage to do any revision that night

T must have thought that i am such a lazy girl (it's a FACT indeed hoho)

but..

that wasn't the main concern..

being the pettite, skinny, slim, blablabla girls as we are

our food consumption was so little that we ended up having lots of leftovers

so..

i decided to pack some for a known neighbour..

and last night was settled.

this evening, i had another social dinner with a different crowd

so me and Am cooked chicken rice together

she also bought a big bottle of pepsi and a massive fruit pie (how nice of her!)

there was 4 of us including my new flatmate, N

and again we spent hours talking, gossiping, and pitying our lives as medical students (ignore the last 6 words)

and i didn't do any work either since i watched 3 episodes of glee afterwads

but again, that wasn't the main issue

the problem is.........

i've got more leftovers today!

grrrr....

so i just packed everything and loaded them into the fridge

in conclusion, apart from:

bread

juice

pears

grapes

cheese

butter

tomatoes

cucumber

lettuce

peas

sausages

milk

which were already in my fridge since two days,..i also have cheese cake and curry from yesterday, today's pepsi, chicken rice, and fruit pie - all stacked in the fridge!

how am i gonna finish everything alone?

the black monday

2010-02-07T21:03:00.003Z

naaay..it's not today..

tomorrow..yes..tomorrow is THE BLACK MONDAY

why?

need to go back to mansfield - bosan dow...tenet boradband lembap kat sane..
i owe a presentation (haven't done anything about it..not a tiniest bit) and 3 e-lectures
haven't done any dermato maccs..tomorrow will be the first day of the last/final week for dermatology
err..did i tell you that i need to attend dermato clinics?..yes..and it's in mansfield

so..

main concern is.........

I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO MANSFIELD........huhuhu

to be honest..

i don't really hate mondays..at least not every monday in a year..i do like a few mondays..especially when:

it was the first monday of holiday break
it was the monday when i was in Malaysia
it was the monday that i skipped lectures/classes/clinics just to get some sleep
it was the monday when i was't happen to be in the UK

see..

i don't really have any grudges towards monday ;-p

was i born on monday?

p/s: daddy, where art thou?..you havent called me this week..or have u?..the thursday you called..was it this week or the previous..hoh..anakmu ini dah tue!~~

Indeed, love is truly in the air! Although you may say that December is too cold but love can still survive in the midst of cold air..it even grows stronger..(what the heck is this crazy girl talking about..hehe)..

No..no..I'm not talking about myself..what i was trying to say:

December is the month of uniting the people who are in love, the month engagements and marriages (err..well maybe partly because of the school holidays which fall in December hehe)

anyway, having said that, i would like to congratulate my most beloved big sis on her engagement day! even though I am very happy for you, I feel sad for not being able to be there for you sis but I will and certainly will be there on you wedding!

In addition, I would also like to congratulate some of my friends who will be tying the wedding knot this December:

farah x firamir
kak nik x tono
kak nurul x zahid

As I let you walk another step away, it brings tears to my eyes
As you walk another step away, it brings tears to my eyes
I reach out my hand, but you go where I can’t approach
I can’t hold onto you, I can only cry

What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving
What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving me and going away
I love you, I love you
I call out to you but you can’t hear me,
because I’m only crying out with my heart

All day, I try to erase you but I keep thinking of you
All day, I say goodbye but I think of you again
I reach out my hand, but you go where I can’t go
I can’t find you, I can only cry

What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving
What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving me and going away
I love you, I love you
I call out to you but you can’t hear me,
because I’m only crying out with my heart

What should I do? What should I do?
You’re still the one for me
What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving me
What should I do? What should I do?
You’re leaving me and going away
I love you, I love you
I call out to you but you can’t hear me
because I’m only crying out with my heart.

I like this lyrics..this is the english translation of a korean song, "ottokajo" which means 'what should I do'..i just think that the lyrics is beautiful..

alhamdulillah..syukr to Allah..I passed my OSLAR Paeds with flying colours. Hm..so, one down and there are three more to go. I am very nervous at the moment but still, i couldn't do any work tonight. In fact, I DON'T WANT TO..it's just too sad to start studying again after passing an exam - and it was a difficult one. i deserved a one-night break..hehe..

another happiness was...i got a letter from my 'kutee'. 'KUTE' was a pilot project initiated and organised by firdaus and cha. it's like mentor-mentee kind of things. the mentors will be the students who are studying in the oversea whilst the mentees are standard 5 students who are not doing very well in their studies. basically, its main aims are:
1) to develop good relationships between the 'kuter' and 'kutee'
2) to boost the kutees' motivation in their learning
3) to make them more confident
4) to inspire them so that they will work harder

I'll tell more about this in other entries..as for now, I'm going to enjoy myself for one night and get back to work tomorrow morning.

p/s: to daddy, thank you for your prayers..and thank you for always be there for me.. i am so glad that i still have you..ah, i miss you so much!

location: Carlton st, Nottingham (city centre)
type: Sushi, japanese food, asian fusion
*****************************

we just found out about this japanese restaurant last month. Bonzai (previously known as 'Skiny Sumo') is situated at Carlton street and it takes about 3 minutes walk from Victoria Centre. the food is amazing and the price is affordable. In addition, you'll get 10% discount if you go and eat there after 5p.m.
below are some of the pictures of the food served there.

sushi plater of 5: 3.50 pounds
sushi plater of 8: 6 pounds

salmon sashimi: 5++ pounds
*****************

unagi(eel) with rice: 8 pounds
*******************

miso sup: 2 pounds
******************

However, the hospitality and customer services from its waitress was a lil bit ngeeeeeekkk i must say. Mind me, it was the hospitality of just one particular waitress that annoyed us. others were alright really. the chef was really funny and cute. nevertheless, we still had a good time there.. *wink*wink*

overall, i would recommend this restaurant to the sushi lovers out there!
daame tho buayo!xoxo

a morning with kids

2009-11-09T21:04:00.002Z

spent the whole morning with pre-school kids today..it was fun! kids are the most lovable, cutest creatures especially when they are not throwing tantrums, pinching or screaming at each other..

it was part of my paediatrics rotation. i had to spend a morning in the day nursery to basically play and familiarize myself with the kids..this session made me realize that it is really a hard work to take care of a child, let alone many children..each and everyone of them are unique and intriguing. (tibe-tibe rase sangat kagum dengan ibu-ibu yang punye ramai anak tapi boleh jaga dorang dengan jayanye!)

well anyway, when i arrived there, i was greeted by a number of kids..they are mostly around 3-4 years of age.. it was so cute to hear them saying "good morning nur!", "thank you", "please". some of them couldn't even stop talking. we had a lot of fun together. we made some paintings (never ever underestimate a child's talent or else you'll be surprised!), we played football and etc...

when it was time to say goodbye, they were so sweet..keep asking me why do i have to go?, where am i going?..and i told them that i had to go to my school, just like them..one of them even ran along the fence just to wave at me and she kept waving until i couldn't see her...hehe..but anyway i ended up going home after that..kehkehkeh..

jaulah to oxford

2009-11-08T10:14:00.004Z

yesterday, despite the coming exam in less than 3 weeks, i went to Oxford with maryam, anis, and mostly first year malaysian female students. it was an annual trip organized by MSM female committee..to be honest, i've never been to Oxford although this is is my 4th year in the UK..(shame on me!)

the trip was a blast even though i couldnt accomplish my two main goals there 1) visit harry potter's dnining hall 2) eat halal KFC .. but it was really fun hanging out with the first years..(diri pun rase mude-mude balik ngeh2..)

p/s: okey, nk kene gi library sekarang!

third-rated

2009-11-03T08:33:00.002Z

did you realize how diferrent the flight attendants treat the so-called third-rated malaysians and other people..erm..let's say foreigners?

that's just rude! (i'm borrowing my housemate's infamous line)..

it happened to one of my friend - she boarded a MAS flight from Kuala Lumpur to London. during the lunch serving, she asked politely one of the attendant on how spicy was the 'nasi lemak'. the lady attendant became annoyed for no reason and then replied with a cynical answer, " kalau dah namanye nasi lemak tu pedas lah". my friend was so angry that she spitted out "attitude!" on her face. only then the flight attendant became so 'cuak' and said sorry. come on la, orang tanya baik-baik, cuba la jawab elok-elok sikit. uih, kalau mat saleh..walaupun yang duduk economic class, diorang layan senyum sampai telinga..eh hello, we are paying the same fare, using the same currency okay!

yeah anyway, it seems that people just don't get it..excuse me, we are not colonized by any other countries anymore, and we are not that poor to bow and 'angguk' to random foreigners. even foreigners treat malaysians with manner..and we malaysians?..fikir-fikirkan la..

p/s: kesian tengok makcik-makcik tua yang naik MAS tapi dilayan antara hendak dan tak hendak je oleh bidadari2 MAS ni...

kerja sengal

2009-11-01T20:14:00.003Z

pernah tak rase bile tade sangat kerje nak buat (...walaupun banyak..) pastu tak fikir panjang..buat aje mende yang ade di depan mata walaupun korang tahu..sebenarnye..dan akhirnye....korang hanya akan MEMALUKAN DIRI sendiri...

wah..panjangnye intro..(intro beria walaupun tade orang bace ngeh2)..tapi hakikatnye itulah yang terjadi kepada diri aku...

cerita ni sebenarnye started err about 2 weeks ago..hujan tak ribut tak..tiba2 i decided to play squash..."pandai ke main?", "sejak bile main squash?" "waaahhhhh.." takpun "oh!" itu lah antara frasa2 (betul ke nk gune word ni?) ataupun comments yang aku dapat daripada orang sekeliling..cess...kurang asam!..ingat aku tak pandai main ape..ngeh2

lepas tu kan..punye la galak aku ngan sorang lagi housemate ni name die A ..pegi la plak signed up masuk nottingham games..oh ye..bagi sape2 tak tahu..nottingham games ni acara sukan terbesar yang ada untuk malaysian students seluruh UK dan Ireland..and it is anually organized by the nottingham malaysian society. kirenye sape2 students yang nak masuk apa2 acara yang dipertandingkan seperti bola jaring, tennis, bola sepak, basketball, ping pong, badminton dll boleh la daftar thru university..

kenapa aku gatal nk masuk sangat?
dalam banyak2 sukan...squash adalah antara yang paling tak glamour..unlike football or netball, squash only had 2 participants last year...pulak tu, housemate aku (yang dah balik malaysia) joined last year and got silver..tahun ni..with the same thought aku pun join la..sebabnye ade orang cakap..tahun ni ade dua orang je yang registered for squash pastu hadiah ade sampai 5..ngeh

dengan semangat kesukan yang membara..aku pegi practiced main squash ngan A..every single day without fail for the past week..kire kalo kene serve bola sepuluh kali ade la skali due yang masuk..ngehngeh..

alkisah..on the day of nottingham games which was yesterday..aku ngan A pun pegi la ke gelanggang pertandingan..(tu pun selepas makan telur separuh masak yang tak berapa jadik..konon untuk tenaga zahir dan batin la..)..sampai2 kat sane..tau tak QM cakap ape..

"korang..tahun ni ramai orang masuk squash ye..ade SEPULUH orang budak pompuan.."

waktu tu jugak aku rase macam nak berguling-guling kat situ..ngok ngek betul la..selama 3 tahun aku dok jadik volunteers mase notts games tak lebih 4 orang pompuan yang masuk squash..tahun ni alih2 sepuluh orang plak yang nk masuk..SEPULUH ORANG!

tapi tape..aku kan memang terer adapt dengan apa jua situasi..so aku pun cool je la..game pertama: lawan ngn budak pompuan dari uni M, ok la gak untuk beginner..aku kalah ngn bergaya..bile aku cakap kalah dengan bergaya maksudnye tade la mata aku kosong hahahaha.. game kedua: aku kene lawan dengan budak dari W university..and guess what?.she is a professional player..kalo tak state player pun mungkin geng2 nicole ann david la agaknye..first set aku tumbang 0-9 dalam mase tak sampai 2 minit..satu bola yang minah ni served pun aku tak leh amik..memang hampeh kuase 4..rase nk baling raket kat minah ni pun ade..pastu kan die ni plak..tak friendly langsung..senyum pun tak..aku buat kesimpulan die kecewa kot sebab kene lawan ngan aku huhu..pastu masuk set kedua..bile sore 5-0..waktu service die yang keenam aku dapat amik..punyela gembira tapi alih2 bola tu kene pulak dekat mata die..
astaghfirullah...waktu tu tuhan sahaja yang tahu..macam nak luruh jantung..satu court tu senyap je sampai kan A yang tak putus2 sorak "it's okay asma" pun senyap..minah ni plak memang emo abes..senyap je..tapi memang salah aku pun..tak putus2 aku say sorry..die okay tapi lepas tu die memang bagi bola laju je kat aku (ni penonton la yang cakap, aku rase cam same je..hehe)..akhirnye aku tersungkur dengan 9-1 dalam set kedua..huhuhuhuhu..memang priceless experience main game ni..

game ketiga dan terakhir aku lawan A..ni memang relax la..rase cam main petang2 je...sebab tiap2 petang pun main dengan dia ni, tapi aku tetap kalah..muahahhahaa...
walau apapun..tahun ni memang different from the previous years...tade la keje nk menghantar makanan je kat players..tahun ni aku main siotttt..kawan2 baru a.k.a squash players from other universities pun sporting sangat..lepas habis games kitorang gi makan sama2..lepak sama2 (oh ye, nanti nak kene add kawan2 baru ni kat facebook haha..

p/s: lagi sebulan nak exam..tapi tengah cari keje sengal seterusnye....

dame tho buayo!

developmental test

2009-10-28T00:10:00.004Z

i passed MACCS developmental test today! yeay!!

DEVELOPMENTAL TEST ---------> is used to assess developmental stages in babies and children. Basically, there are some particular things/acts which babies and kids do at a particular time and 90% of them follow this pattern. for examples:

most babies start smiling at the age of 6 weeks.
at the age of 6 months, you would expect them to sit with or without support and by 9 months, they can independently sit on their own.
they will then start walking between 12-18 months.
by 1 year of age, they usually can recognize objects and make single words like 'mama' and 'dada'.
by 2 years old, kids will usually develop their social skills and mix around with other people. at this age, they will start sharing things like toys and food with other kids/people.

the above points are just a few examples of what kids can do at a particular age. indeed, they are many other things which they can do apart from these things. a delay in a certain aspect of development may suggest an underlying problems of illnesses such as cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD or etc. nevertheless, the delay may just be a normal thing since a small proportion of kids do deviate from the normal distribution.

so...

in this test, i was given a boy with an unknown age (the examiner would of course know his age though ;-0). the boy was accompanied by his mother and i had to play with him while assessing his language ability, social skills, gross and fine motor functions at the same time. at the end of the session, i had to guess the boy's age by considering various aspects of his developmental wise. i told the examiner that the boy was 18months old when he was actually 23 months old. but hey, i passed anyway since i assessed every aspects of development and my guessing was within the 6 months range which was the requirement to pass the test hehehe..

dear paeds..i love you but i dont like you..

2009-10-25T07:34:00.005Z

I've been on my paeds rota for the past 6 weeks which i think the best rota so far despite the fact that there are more specialties to go..and I'm only half way..no, third way through..
FYI, paeds is an abbreviation for paediatrics aka 'bahagian kanak-kanak' (lawak je bile acik tanye paeds tu 'gewe' baru ke..hehe..calling your bf as paeds doesn't sound too bad though hahaa..wait till i get one haha)..

back to my main topic, in this department, you get different flavours, bits and pieces of medicine; surgery, general, community and social - u name it all! but it's a whole new world..wayyy apart from the adult medicine..here, most of the things are done differently although some still follow the usual conservative approach/way..sometimes, i feel just like a kid myself ; playing with dolls whenever i handle the baby patients, and sometimes i don't feel like a doctor-to-be at all..more or so like nursery teachers; asking toddlers what's this and that just to assess their development, talking by using their 'language', and playing 'peek-a-boo' with them!

having said that, i really enjoy dealing with the kids despite their tantrums and 'uncooperativeness'.there's no way you can be mad at them..you just feel pity and most of time, i am amused by them! deep inside your heart, you know..they are adorable without the illness and it's not them..it's the illness..and one more thing, you know..it's not because they drink alcohol like some adults that they end up being sick, or smoke packs of cigarettes until they get many kinds of lung diseases (yeah..yeah..i'm being judgmental which i shouldn't be)..but yes..their illness is not the consequence of their action.

however, paeds is not always enjoyable. having to do many on calls including one in the weekend is not nice. why? because you are NOT a doctor for god sake..you are a student and you deserve a two-day weekend. hehe..most importantly, you get depressed and teary when encountering a disturbing, out of norm case. for example, 2 weeks ago, i sat in the consultation room with a doctor and a 10 year old boy who had been sexually assaulted for almost a year by his 19 year old half brother. it was just depressing. i couldn't even look at his face or else my tears would fall in front of him. i kept staring at the doctor, refusing to let my guard down and keeping a stern emotionless face at the same time. it was just mental! last week, me and colleagues saw a 10 month old girl who was born perfectly fine and healthy but end up being blind and highly dependant for the rest of her life because of a skull fracture when she was 6 weeks old. only god knows what happened to her at that time and the father is still in the prison for that..poor thing..such a poor poor girl..

now you know why i love and hate paeds at the same time! what do you think?

spring breeze

2009-04-18T21:35:00.002+01:00

but it doesnt feel right..i don't know why...
i wish time would stop...

procrastinating..

2009-03-12T22:02:00.003Z

yes...yes..i love procrastinating...i do that everyday (in fact,im procrastinating right now) though i know i shouldn't..

anyway..a little updates on me, myself, and irene...err..just me actually.

i've started my clinical phase 1 (CP1))..i'm in the middle of CP1 induction right now..got to do a lot of new things like draw people's blood (sounds like vampire eh?), catheterization (obviously on manikin), cannulation, and various system examinations..to be honest, i always feel really tired at the end of every clinical days though i enjoy doing all those new things!
i have to travel 40 minutes by bus everyday to get to Derby Hospital where my CP1 is..and classes usually start at 9 am..
my nose is fine now. however, i still need to apply 2 layers of foundation and compact powder every morning just to hide the big fat t-shaped scar.
i went on a roadtrip to south UK 2 weeks ago with koko, irina, azie and sin wee..we had a great time there although i wasnt really keen posing for pictures due to my nose condition hehehe..
i'm planning to go to japan this summer break..insyaAllah..kalo duit cukop..

lastly...

number six: As for now, and ideal bf to me is someone with these characteristics ----> 4-D personality, blunt, has UNEVEN NOSTRILS, long-haired, and can jump very well..hahahahaha

phlebotomy and cannulation

2009-03-05T21:00:00.001Z

today was fantastic..had the chance to withdraw blood on a real person for the first time!

did i just break my nose?

2009-02-25T17:29:00.004Z

naaah...it wasn't that bad.

this morning..i woke up quite late..around half past nine, brushed my teeth and then went to the kitchen. seeing lots of plates on the kitchen table top (perasaan macam disebat tu, bak kata aisyah), i decided to stack them in the cabinet. having decided that, i kinda squatting down, putting the plate one by one into the cabinet and voila everything looked awesome!

after that, i quickly and confidently stood up from my squatting position...let me emphasize it again..'quickly and confidently' stood up and..... banged my PRECIOUS PREETY NOSE onto the extension of the kitchen work top..it was so loud that even maryam could hear the 'bang' from her room. my nose bled a lot and i cried thinking that my nose wasnt gonna be the same again.

irina,..tgh mamai2 tuh..passed me her towel and put it on my nose to stop the bleeding..then she started lecturing and blabbing about the extensive blood supply in the nose..blablabla.until..we had to stop her from talking and lecturing..actually, my dear irina, i still don't get ur points..why did u do that anyway? ;-P hehehehhehe

then, me and maryam went to the QMC emergency. the doctor gave me some painkillers and took the history from me..she arranged an appoinment with the ENT department explaining that nothing could be done since there's no treatment for broken nose (if it's the case). she said that i'll have to wait for five days before doing the x-ray.. if i'm happy with my nose, i can just cancel the appoinment but if my nose is crooked whatsoever, they can arrange a surgery for me.

great! clinical phase starts on monday and i get to see patients with a crooked nose..*sigh*
at least i've got something to talk about, aite?

my little caheed

2009-02-24T21:52:00.005Z

22/02/96....my youngest brother was born that day..

ahh..that was 13 years ago...

it seemed like yesterday though..
i can still clearly remember him following people around, running everywhere-in the supermarket and grass field, bullying his big brothers...

he's big boy now....siap ade gepren lagik..hehe..but u'll always be my little adik ;-))
dearest caheed..i wish u all the best in ur life dunia n akhirat..may Allah bless u always and grant u happiness...
happy belated birthday!~~~

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

syaheed's dorkiness and funny scenes!

(when he was 4 years old, back from nursery-like kindergarten..he was fussing and complaining to our mother)

caheed: ummi, adik tanak la pegi nury (kindergarten) tu..

ummi: nape dik?

caheed: tempat tu tak best la ummi. kakak-kakak (staffs) kat situ tak cantik, pastu cikgu layan adik macam budak kecik je. dia suruh semua orang tidur mase tengah hari, pastu mase senam..cikgu suruh guling-guling..macam budak kecik la ummi..

(at the age of 6, he wanted to be circumcised together with his 2 elder brothers and a relative)

relative: caheed, camne?sakit tak?

caheed: tak langsung! doktor guna gunting kecik sebab aku kecik lagi. tapi ko dah besar, mungkin ko akan rasa sakit sebab nanti doktor mesti gune gunting lagi besar!

~~the relative was 9 and both of them did not even have a tiniest idea about anaesthetics!haha~~

(at night, after the circumcision-when the anaesthetical effect had dissapeared)

caheed: semua orang penipuuuuu!!! (screaming, crying and throwing tantrums, not allowing anyone to cajole him except for ummi)

ummi: sabarla sayang..cube tidur..mesti tak sakit nanti..

caheed: semua orang tipu adik..kate sakit macam kene gigit ngn semut je..tapi ni sakit macam kena gigit dengan semut juta-juta.

~~we felt sorry for him but couldn't stop laughing~~

(when he was 8-years-old (if i'm not mistaken), he was a bit sad after getting his result)

ayah: adik dapat result hari ni kan?

caheed: adik dapat nombor sebelas..(whispering slowly)

ayah: ha! bagusla!!..orang lain dapat satu je nombor satu..adik dapat dua sekaligus! (sebelas=11=satu satu)

...and caheed was back to his normal self--->naughty, cheeky, and mischievous~~ (iye2 je adik ni..pekse darjah due je pun hehe)

Ya Allah,Leburkanlah kumpulan2 mereka
Pecah belahkan dan kacau bilaukan persatuan mereka
Goncangkan pendirian mereka
Dan hantarkanlah anjing2 kamu kepada mereka Wahai tuhan yang gagah perkasa Wahai tuhan yang penuh raksasa Wahai tuhan yang bersifat murka
Ya allah Ya allah Ya allah Ya allah, Wahai tuhan yang menurunkan kitab, Wahai tuhan yang mengarakkan awan Wahai tuhan yang menewaskan bala tentera al-ahzab
Kalahkan mereka Kalahkan mereka Kalahkan mereka
Dan menangkan kami ke atas mereka.

Ya Allah, selamatkan lah saudara-saudaraku di palestine

bile reflect diri, tibe2 rase sedih. tak tahu nape. mungkin banyak sgt menghabeskan duit. rase bersalah dengan orang susah. mungkin juge rase hepi sgt. pastu rase bersalah lagi. mungkin hepiness itu fake. mungkin juge tak patut. orang tue2 cakap banyak sgt gelak nnt menangis. betul la kot. mungkin saje hormon yang terlebih. mungkin juge sebab cuti. rase mellow. tapi tak cuti pun kadang2 rase gak camni. oh, mungkin tak cukup bizi.yes. kene lebih membizikan diri.

~~~~~~~~~~~sedang cube menyiapkan lagi 3 ribu perkataan untuk intro~~~~~~~~

bile hantar?...ESOK!!!!

TTX continued

2008-12-16T19:44:00.004Z

fact: in Haiti, voodoo believers (mak/pak dukun) use TTX extracted from newts and puffer fish to create 'zombie poison'. the term zombification is used since victims of this poison will experience muscle paralysis; conscious but unable to move...cam mayat hidup le..oh, it's amazing how these people can create this deadly poison to harm other people,..tikam je la ngn pisau lagi senang..

treatment for TTX poisoning: NO KNOWN ANTIDOTE!!! (pak/mak dukun voodoo bersorak kegirangan..)

however, some measures can be taken to counteract TTX poisoning. in 1973, Torda et.al stated that the treatment for TTX poisoning is essentially supportive, focusing on treating/ reducing the effects and symptoms until all TTX mlcs are excreted.
if TTX is ingested, gastric lavage;' emptying all nasty things in the stomach' will be performed. activated charcoal is also given to the victim so that the charcoal can bind with TTX molecules, preventing them from binding to TTX binding site on voltage-gated sodium channels. the victim should be artificially ventilated to ensure respiration (breathing). this is important as breathing failure is the underlying cause of death in TTX poisoning. A. Alcaraz suggested that TTX can be destroyed by using alkaline solution or strong acidic solution since TTX is soluble in acidic aq solution.

symptoms which resolve over a period of days with a good prognosis if patients survive 18 to 24 hours after ingestion of TTX. (Bower et al, 1981)

future treatment
monoclonal antibody was produced and used on mice. the mice were injected with TTX and soon followed by injection of the antibody.it is shown that this immunisation causes TTX to become non-toxin and the antibody also showed high specificity towards TTX.
(kendo matsumura, 1994)

p/s: tiup kanan tiup kiri..puff2x esok nye essay que kuar pasal TTX puff2x ;-) all the best to me!

ikan buntal

2008-12-13T15:55:00.003Z

sape pernah makan ikan buntal a.k.a puffer fish a.k.a diodontid spp..pernah?..pernah?..
saye pon tak pernah..ekeke

ikan buntal is highly poisonous because it contains a neurotoxin known as tetrodotoxin (TTX).this toxin is highly concentrated mainly in gonads (telur), intestines, liver, and skin of this fish.as some people may already know, puffer fish is famous in japan as it is one of the japan's traditional delicacies called fugu. but do you know, between 1993-2006, there were 23 reported cases of puffer fish poisoning in Japan involving fishermen eating their catch of puffer fish. also, do you know that the incidence of TTX poisoning worldwide is around 250 cases in which its mortality rate is 60%. having said that, of 10 people poisoned by this neurotoxin, 6 of them will DIE! scary right?..hell yeah..but people still eat the fish.

about TTX
it is a product of bacteria called pseudomonas tetrodonis which may live in the fish. TTX is colourless, heat stable, and sparingly soluble in water. however, it is highly soluble in strong acidic solution. not only in puffer fish, TTX can also be found in blue-ringed octopus, certain newts, frogs, salamanders, and horse crabs. the most important thing, it has both neurotoxic, and cardiotoxic effects.
the lethal dose for TTX is between 8-20ug/kg.

the effects of TTX
when someone ingested TTX by consuming puffer fish, the symptoms may be shown 30 minutes after ingestion. sometimes, the symptoms may be delayed up to 4 hours after ingestion.
the effect starts with paresthesia or numbness of the lips and tongue. this may be followed by tingling sensation. he will also experince muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, ataxia, and skin blistering. in severe cases, the victim may get, cyanosis, cardiac arrhythmia, general paralysis and eventually death. evans MH stated that the death of TTX poisoning is due to paralysis of diaphragm resulting in respiratory failure.

ok, now we know what someone will get when he/she ingested TTX. but how do these symptoms occur?

TTX selectively targets voltage-gated sodium channels which are important in generating action potentials. it binds to the extracellular pore on sodium channels resulting in action potential blockade. there are two types sodium channels involving TTX binding site. TTX resistance voltage-gated sodium channels and TTX sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels. TTX-r channel is primarily found in cardiac muscles whereas TTX-s channels dominate the rest tissues in the body such as skeletal muscles, brain, kidney, and so on. thus, the organs with the latter channels were compromised more than cardiac muscles. in skeletal muscle, failure in generating action potential will cause muscle paralysis.
although the brain is dominated by TTX-s sodium channels, the neurotoxin a.k.a TTX cannot cross blood brain barrier (BBB). therefore, brain is not hugely affected by TTX toxin. that's why the victim is conscious even though immobile. evans MH, 1969, reported that TTX levels are highest in kidney and heart of victim's body but lowest in blood and brain.

to be continued..

p/s: as a matter of fact, i was revising for my neurotox paper...and was trying to memorise about TTX...so yeah..this entry is boring.. ;-p

dapur banjir

2008-12-04T01:31:00.002Z

semalam...mengingatkan betapa lamenye dah tak cuci baju..gi la cuci baju gune washing machine burok yang ade kat dapur umah ni...pastu nek atas balik...pastu rase lapar lak.., turun la carik makanan..tibe2..jengjeng

"owh nooooooooo!!!!!!, dapur banjir"
S, saksi di tempat kejadian mengesahkan bahawa air datang dari washing-machine. mungkinkah ia bocor?..(burok la katenye.. ;-p )
A, saksi kedua di tempat kejadian mencadangkan supaya kite menelepon mr.w a.k.a tuan rumah/lanlord/tuan punye mesin basuh burok itu. dalam pada itu, tuan punye baju2 yang berada dalam mesin basuh burok itu a.k.a ana la! tgh sebok memainkan peranan sebagai cinderella yang cantek, mengelap lantai dapur dengan harapan air akan hilang sekaligus membersihkan lantai dapur umah kitorang (ade la gak hikmah dapur banjir, mungkin sbb dah lame tak mop kehkeh)

owh, kembali kepada kejadian banjir, saksi menelepon mr. w. semase saksi melaporkan butir2 kejadian, suare latar di belakang a.k.a ana lah! kedengaran, meminta mr.w datang asap sbb air kuar lagi!!!

mr.w dengan santainye berkate, "dun worry, stop the washing machine first" (haah, asal la lupe nk tutop mesin basuh burok tu..)
menurut mr.w, kejadian itu mungkin disebabkan oleh paip umah yang beku oleh kerana cuaca yang terlalu sejuk. akibatnye, air tak leh mengalir keluar..pastu backflow la...

oooooooo.....

mr.w berjanji akan datang untuk melihat/memulihkan ape yang patut. kurang sejam, die datang bersama pembantunye.setelah pemeriksaan dijalankan, mr.w yang beraksi sebagai mcgyver kitorang mengesahkan bahawa banjir disebabkan oleh PAIP TERSUMBAT. pastu die menukar peranan sebagai tukang paip plak, cube untuk membuka saluran paip dapur...rupe2 nye... bnyak mende dalam paip tu (tak yah la cakap ape mende)..patut le tersumbat...ceh, kalo cuace ade perasaan, mesti die kecik hati sbb mr.w salahkan cuace pada mulenye...hehehehe

akhirnye, dapur, paip, dan mesin basuh burok itu kembali seperti biase...time kasih incik w, kalau la anda tiade, sape la nk baiki paip tersumbat tu ye..huhuhu

ber'weekend' di kota keriangan

2008-11-30T19:26:00.006Z

Last friday, housemates(except for aisyah), fiqah(ahli rumah ke-7 ;-p) and myself went to London by train. we spent 2 nights in london (courtesy of azie and aunty fatimah *wink*)...

we arrived in london at eleven-ish at night, azie picked us up at london's train station and we headed straight to azie's place which is located in edgware road. that night, we slept late, gossiping with azie and nusrah, updating each other with hot news in both london and nottingham..hahaahaha...

the next day, our never-ending outing started with azie as our lovely 'tourist guide'. we went to portobello market and had lunch in malaysian student department's cafe (MSD london).i've been to london a few times before but never had a chance to visit MSD london.. thanx to Azie, we had the opportunity to eat malaysian food(dimasak oleh orang utara)...it was really superb!...(kami menjerit keriangan melihatkan lauk-pauk yang bermacam rupe, nasi kerabu pun ada!)

hmm..ape lagi ek?..

owh yes, we also went to trafalgar square and harrods. surprisingly, i didn't buy anything this time around..aha!

we wanted to watch 'wicked' initially but the tickets sold out (the play has been showing for yeaaarss,and tickets were still sold out?!can u imagine?)..anyway, not giving up, we headed to leicester square in the quest for cheap-but- interesting-other-than-wicked tickets. we ended up watching 'blood brother' with maryam and azie not joining us. regardless the change in plan, i'd have to say that we did'nt regret it at all as the play was really really good!..the actors were brilliant especially the female lead.

the show ended at half past ten,then we took tube to azie's place..the funny thing was, when we arrived and called azie to open the door, she said they're already in aunty fatimah's (a.k.a irina's mother) rented apartment. apparently, azie, maryam, irina, and fairuz already took our belogings and put them in aunty's place.so, we went to the apartment which is located in king's cross st(i think)..the apartment was really amazing with the view of hyde park..it's really2 nice!..aunty, thank you for letting us to stay in ur lovely accommodation!

we came back to nottingham the next day(sunday).

london is a very lovely..ops LIVELY city indeed. however, i'm glad that i chose to study in nottingham over london's QM. dont think that i could afford to live in this expensive city. plus, it's way too crowded. and i am grateful for what i already have.

me! the pink power puff girl

2008-11-26T20:57:00.004Z

what a tiring day...
today...i had to sow a spine of a cadaver and both of its legs(with ryan's and dennis's help of course, couldnt have done that without their assistence)..this was my last labour work for the project, i hope!..( yeah..i thought i've done with this dissection/prosection thing but apparently noooooooooot....)

while sowing, it occured to me that this experience was very new..yes, i've never sown before. while i was in form 2 or maybe 3, we had to do a jewellery box for our KH project and we needed to sow a few pieces of plywood,put them together (using nails/screws/screwdriver) and voila, an ugly, plain jewellery box has been created!..being a cheater (maybe cunning is more appropriate ;-P), as always...my 'jewellery box' was made by the KH teacher and some of the male classmates, thank you very much! i luv u all..hehe

anyway, back to this sowing-dead body's legs thing, i managed to do that on my own and ryan thought me through the event. there was this feeling of achievement afterwards that made all the sweat and effort paid off..(which i didnt feel during the KH project kehkeh)....and.. i do understand that being independent and do everything (that you can do and allowed to do) are wayyyyyyyyy much satisfying than 'upah'ing other people to do it for you..oh! i feel so strong and powerful now, like blossom, the pink power puff girl!.......

makeover! in the making

2008-11-19T18:38:00.004Z

yes..yes..when i realised that i am becoming more and more like a granny, i decided to do a makeover..act, it's not really a makeover..more of making myself to utilise resources (time, money, work, friends ehehe...etc) and becoming more productive..rather than lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling 24/7...

having said that, right after the oh-not-so-nice i.e damn hard REM paper, i straight away went to town...shopping! a.k.a asma's ultimate relaxation therapy...bought a ROXY JACKET..yeay2!!

i came back at around 6pm..then, housemates (excluding irina, maryam, suraiya), myself, fiqa, pi'e, wawa, faz, sin wee, duo ying, alifah, and fiqry went out for dinner at big wok

pic above: me eating the tallest ice-cream ever...haha..saje nk lawan fiqry, konpem fiqry tak leh lawan ketinggian ice cream di atas walaupun die menang title 'makan paling bnyak' kehkeh

outside the restaurant...from left: wawa, fiqa, alifah, duo ying, faz, myself (note the new green jacket bought earlier kehkeh), anis, pi'e. at the back: fiqry

this pic was taken after the dinner..(gaye melekat di dinding)...time kasih la pi'e..terpaksa tahan ngn kitorang yang memang camera addicts nih......

i really had fun!..cant wait for ex-chaletmates from ireland to come over tomorrow...nnt bleh gi enjoy lagik..haha

tagged!

2008-11-16T23:35:00.003Z

since fiqa has already explained about this tagging-chain thing..hehe..kene la wat gak..( malu sendiri bile teringat betapa bodohnye soklan ku kepada fiqa pasal tag2 nih..)

anyway, 7 things about me....here we go

1. i love EATING!...i have big appetite for a size 8 girl..hehe, thankfully, i didnt gain weight easily..so weight-watching is never a problem.

evidence: i still remember when we (nott's malaysian medics) went out for a buffet dinner, there was this senior(guy..name?biarla rahasia), he was so awed with my eating ability..he said, "i've never met a small girl who can eat so much! was that ur 6th round already(referring to my plate of noodle)?"...ouch ok!..hehe..but yeah..nothing can stop me from eating..ermmm..maybe handsome guys can cos i tend to be very reserved, very polite in front of handsome guys..ahaks

explanation: i was and am still brought up by a man who loves to eat and cook...MY FATHER!!! mase kecik2 dulu...asal mengamuk n merajuk jer..mesti tanak makan (konon protes la..hehee) pastu ayah mesti cakap..."kalo tak makan sebelum pukul am/pm, aku tak mengaku anak, jgn mintak ape2 lagi ngn ayah!..."..mase kecik2 kene gertak, bile dah besar kalo tanak makan, ayah mesti merajuk..kalo ayah merajuk,nanti sampai 4 hari pon die ungkit kisah silam betapa susahnye hidup zaman dulu2..aish,memang tak bes ;-p ... LUV IM

2. shopping is my second fav hobby..maybe window shopping is more appropriate hehe

evidence: can ask anyone who knows me ;-p..dear friends, am i shopaholic?..mungkin tu dulu.. skang ni dah tak kot...dok hibernate je kat umah..

explanation:...genetic?

3. some people said i'm a happy-go-lucky person..but i just think that i can hide my problems really well..i rarely show my true feelings/emotions..and i like being tough,err i guess....

evidence:..this is just what people say and think...this evident is not verified...hoho

explanation: no comment

4. up until now, 2003 remained the toughest year in my life

evidence: not available

explanation: this was the year when i lost my other half, my love, my everything...i was like a stray cat, lost...( that kind of feeling is really2 NOT NICE...tak yah la cite lebih2, nnt terbuai2 lak) yeah..i didnt like that year..but deep inside my heart, i know, Allah will not give something that i cannot bear..

5. i always want to meet takuya kimura and marry him...muahahahahaahaha

evidence: be it long vacation, beautiful life,pride, change..u can ask me everything about his drama.. EVERYTHING!...mase form 2 dulu siap gi pinjam buku jepun-english kat pustaka sekolah, belajar sebut name dalam bahase jepun..kot2 terjumpe ngn kimutaku..

'atashi no namae wa asma desu' *peace*

explanation: makin lame, makin tue, makin matang..makin kurang la 'kegatalan' terhadap kimutaku...tapi...erm just in case...to takuya: if ur wife dump u, pls come and see me, then we could get married!!

6. i like pink. do not fancy blue colour.

evidence & explanation: not available

7. i have to sleep at least 8 hours per day!

explanation: i cannot function properly without my 8-hour sleep...but it doesnt have to be consecutive..hehe..orang slalu tanye..nnt bile keje, on calls,camne?..haah..camne eh?..tape2..i'll deal with that later..one by one..step by step....!

--------------------------------------

i guess that's all...hehe, tibe2 teringat kat hannah montana yang nyanyi 7 things tuh.

as for tagging-link thing, i'll leave it for while. will update this entry when i decide whom to tag after this..hehe

p/s: to 3rd year medics in notts,..esp housemates, gud luck in REM exam..it's tomorrow aite? hehe

becoming granny..

2008-11-15T23:55:00.004Z

have you watched becoming jane?. it's a movie about jane austen's love life. she fell in love with a handsome young man but the love didn't work out. anyway, i don't wanna talk about jane stuff now...

i think i'm gonna be a GRANNY in less than a month..no kidding..i'll end up being a granny at the age of 22 if i don't 'makeover' my life!!!..when i said 'life makeover'..it means now!!!!!!!!!!

i'll tell you what i did today

wake up at 8am, snuggling on my bed for a few hours (macam org sakit belakang yang tak leh bangun tu)
pastu invited pi'e the twin and sin wee the so-called bf tipu2 to have lunch at our house
started cooking at 11.15am, they came over at around 1pm. we had nasi lemak and i tried 'koreking gossip2 baru' from them...so macik okay!!
after they left, i snuggled back onto the bed, watched a few episodes of taiwanese series
then, we had dinner..(makan lagik)
were supposed to watch a movie in a cinema..tapi tengok tiket mahal sgt...ended up watching Sydney white on the net with anis and fiqa.

i was like macik2 kan?

i feel like a loser, i dont know why..today is the so-called malas day for me. i dont mind if it's just once in a blue moon. the problem is everyday is like a 'malas day'..aiya..this cant go on forever....*sigh*

i should've gone shopping today..THERAPY..macam pi'e cakap,"keluar berseronok"...

hopefully tomorrow is a good sunday. i'll make sure my sunday is gonna be productive!full stop.

p/s: i had fun catching up with pi'e and sin wee though..rase cam dulu2 plak..zaman2 first year..tehehe

2008-11-14T08:32:00.003Z

yes, mission accomplished! thanx irina..i luv you...

shopping spree

2008-11-12T16:13:00.005Z

i love winter!
not because of the weather or the snow but....you can always find excuses to go shopping during this season..

"i need to get bubbles for winter"
"my layering is not enaugh"
"i cant bear walking in the cold"
"i havent got a pair of long john".....

these kinds of statements always come up during winter and then, without realising, you would end up wandering around the shops, looking for new winter coats, new boots, new thick stockings etc2..hmm..pastukan..dah alang2 kuar dan bazirkan 3 pounds untuk bas tiket,
you would shop till you drop..(it's true!!...at least for me ;-p)

and the best thing about shopping during winter is.... you have a BOXING DAY!!!
it's usually on the 27/28th of december. during this day, most of the shops and large retailers will reduce their item prices up to 70% and the shops open as early as 5 am and closes at 8pm (shops open between 10am-5pm normally)..amazing!!!

looking forward to this year boxing day!

p/s: anis and myself just bought new gorgeous boots for ourselves yesterday..hahaha

kejiwangan melanda 2...

2008-11-10T22:55:00.004Z

finally got my last month's feberet song; bila engkau jauh by shannon

THANKS TO AISYAH!!!!! you made my day...hahaha...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

last night, we (anis, aisyah, and myself) were so bored..in anis's room, randomly surfing and watching asian dramas. anis and i, somehow, we swapped laptops. then, naughty anis, she accessed my facebook account and wrote to her account, "anis,...u ni cantek sgt" (something like that)...pastu aisyah found out what she was doing...eh, die pun nk gak...so there was; aisyah..u terrer giler men netball, hot sangat (more or less..haha); written by 'supposedly asma'

when i found out what they were up to...our facebook war began..it was me versus aishnis= aisyah n anis ( dua lawan satu wei..hahahaha...kitorang memang ntah paper)..i striked back saying i was blackmailed(?!!!) to write/type the previous comments bout them..and they were playing innocent..replying comments like; 'asma, why did u say that? we will always support you' , ' asma, u ni nape, ok tak?'..my status kept changing every 4 minutes...kejap2 cakap kene blackmail, jap2 cakap laptop kene virus aishnis,....anyway, our battles ended when we decided to have dinner..hahaha..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

notti-notti games..

2008-11-09T12:08:00.003Z

bestnye notts games semalam..meriah! bombastic!

resenye taun ni nyer yang paling best kot sbb sume orang sgt sporting bekerja n tolong menolong....kire lagik sistematik la dari taun2 sebelum...(bunyi taun2 sebelum tuh cam dah tue sngat jer...)..act, ni taun ketiga aku experience notts game kat bumi nottingham...

ade gak la jumpe kawan2..tapi tak seramai mase first year..mungkin sume owam dah sibuk ngn final year (for some) and clinicals kot..

tapi yang paling best pasal notts games ni..bukan mainan n matches je..tapi..jeng..jeng..jeng

MALAYSIAN FOOD FESTIVAL..memang macam2 ada...biasenye penjual terdiri daripada keluarga2 postgrads dan groups pf undergrads yang reti masak n masak sedap..

laksa penang ada, pelbagai jenis nasi lemak ada(nasi lemak sambal kerang pon ado woi...ish2), kuih-muih ada...air cendol ade, sate, nasi ayam, rendang...uish..memang macam2..kecur liur teringat pasal makanan2 semalam..

cakap pasal ramai yang datang, jumpe ngn norehan, hajare, linda dan ramai lagi (btw, norehan semakin poyo skaang..linda plak cakap nk tido kat notts tapi tak..ish22)...apelagi..bile dah jumpe tuh..memang riuh la..macam2 citer kuar tapi aku nk type balik response owam pasal status aku yang single ini..:

hajare: ko dah single, bagus la..aku pon single

yana pau: single?!!!bia btul?...nape wei?(ekspresi muke yang cam tahan kentut, mungkin sebab concern)

batu: single?..cite la sket..tapi batu tak leh masuk line nanti orang len cakap batu la penyebab...(yang ni memang apekah tahap cipan)

salam: asma!! ko dah ade bf baru ke blum? (ni tahpape sbb cakap yang cam gune mike kat lam bas yang cam sardin)

dan bnyak lagi ler...

tapi, yang pentingnye..notts games semalam memang best...!!!

p/s: sume dialog di atas direkod semalam, semase notts games tgh berlansung..

notts games

2008-11-08T07:06:00.003Z

today is like a festive day..it's nottingham games!!!the most awaited event in nottingham. basically it's an event which is organized by nottingham malaysian society involving games like football, netball, snooker, chess, table tennis and so on. malaysian students in all over UK come to compete in the games. we even received contiguents from malysian students in ireland and other neighbouring country. now, can u imagine how big it is?

as for now, i have to get ready since i'll be volunteering in the games. anis and irina already left whilst maryam is taking shower.both maryam and myself will take care of volunteers and nottingham players' food (we catered the food of course!! hahaha...not that we dont know how to cook, but it's for 300 people for god sake!!!..). aisyah and suraiya will be playing netball..

will keep u updated...

kejiwangan melanda

2008-11-07T00:40:00.002Z

tak leh tido...bosan..perlu tidur..tapi tak leh..dengar sayup2 suare aisyah kat bilik sebelah...tgh bercalling-calling agaknye...

dok sorang2 lam bilik pastu tepikir..ape la ayah,teh,along,capik,camim,caheed tgh wat kat mesia...bosan..bosan..dan bosan...

2 minggu lagik ade exam..tapi tanak bace lagik...

bosan..bosan..dan bosan..

tibe2 teringat concert teringat lagu simple plan wat khas ntuk budak2 nottingham..tengok video die jap..hai tahpaper la aku ni...

boredom...

2008-11-06T16:08:00.002Z

came back home at around 3 pm..was rushing to the tv..(hell yeah, our new flat screen tv), switched it on, tried to navigate the channels but to no avail...

damn, i think it's bacause we havent paid last month's proveider bill...haish...i want my gilmore girls episodes...

oh well, ended up writing and submitting posts instead..haha

p/s: cepatla balik wahai housemates sekalian.....

the new america..

2008-11-06T07:37:00.003Z

ni mesti sume orang dah tau pasal ape...haha..obama menang piliharaye AS. ramai orang cakap this is not about obama himself winning an election, it's about the new direction on US future.

semalam tengok le obama's winning speech kat bbc.com

what a crowd!!..beribu2 orang bersorak gembira, nampak jugak Oprah Winfrey, (mengesat2 ayer mate walaupun cube bersembunyi disebalik bahu lelaki gagah, batang hidungmu tetap ku kenal). daripada ape yang aku nampak, obama nye penyokong, bukan hanye dari golongan tue2 bangka dan aristokrat tapi golongan muda mudi gak. bagusla...after all, politic is not just for those old, conservative people, but we, the future leaders of the world have to involve in this matter, try to make this world a better place to live..ini tak, dok bagi culprits and zionis memerintah sesuke hati...harap2 lepas ni ade la sedikit perubahan kalaupun tak bnyak..insyaAllah..

p/s: penulis sendiri adalah seseorang yang tatau langsung pasal politik ;-P

series of unfortunate events..

2008-11-05T22:54:00.006Z

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around...

yeah, just like lyrics, i had a bad day..ops, not just a bad day but a few bad days.
here is the list of my series of unfortunate events:

1. laptop crashed. woke up one morning, ran an anti virus scan, and then suddenly voila..all my documents are lost.apparently the documents are 'hacked by debugger'.yes, yes..i had back up on aisyah's external but not my power point project work

2. later that morning, sad state but determined. did 2 new slides consisting dissection pictures, using anis's laptop. the editing, colouring of each vessel and nerve, and so on took a day..can you imagine? a whole-day-worth 2 slides. tired and filled with stupidity, forgot to save it on anis's laptop and aisyah's external, saved in a pendrive instead. the next morning, woke up from bed, unknowingly and stupidly turned on own laptop, plugged in the pendrive,tried to open the whole-day-worth slides...jengjeng..'hacked by debugger' came instead..dammit..
sad square state

3. sent own laptop to abang hisham for reformatting. did the power point thingy again with anis's laptop, super determined this time. managed to do 5 slides (yeay..) and saved them properly.

think this is the happy ending of my series of unfortunate events?..

NO-NO.....absolutely not at all and here is the climax

this morning, woke up early with fighting spirit...went to class and then dissection room. spent 6 hours dissecting the posterior region of buttock and thigh. during the last 2 hours, tibe2:

myself: oh no! (half screaming)..oh my god..(holding the scalpel, lips wide open, speechless)

collegue: why? what is it Nur? (surprised and concerned, approaching my table)

myself: oh lord, i actually dissected the buttock. this right buttock was supposed to be superficial prosection, not the deep one.

collegue: oh nooo...u poor thing...

myself: ryan...ryan....help!!!

there you go, my worst unfortunate event of all. a week and half were wasted dissecting the wrong buttock just like that.argh!!!!!

ryan, the dissection room technician a.k.a anatomy demonstrator came in. i quickly explained the situation. he looked surprised and when he saw my deadly expression, he smiled.

ryan: relax, this is not the end of the world. you can do a superficial dissection on the anterior and deep on the posterior

myself: no, i dont want that. i wont be able to show the hip joint globally then.. (both of us tried to think of a solution, then, it was i..)
does this look superficial to you?(holding the the deep posterior prosection, looking mischievously)

ryan: hurm..not really

myself: but, if i go deeper to the other side, then this will look superficial. after all, the muscles are preety much intact, and i havent removed any of them. whaddaya think?

ryan: hm..i suppose...yeah, i think you can do that..yes, definitely.

end of story. this is not so bad anyway..hehe

oo Allah, please guide me...

huarghh..laptop went crazy

2008-11-04T06:46:00.004Z

naik gile rasenye ngn laptop ni...tatau la ape masalh die..tensennye...tgh sebok2 ngn projek n notts game,s mase ni la die nk wat hal..u know what, i lost all my documents in words, power points...be it all first year's documents to the third, everything were apparently removed due to virus..what the h***?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
takkan la kat word doc. pun ade virus...

luckily, i did some backup by using aisyah's hard disc, she is reallly my saviour.. but still, i dun really know what to do with my laptop..how am i suppose to do my project in the future?..what if the same thing happen again?..oh my goodness, i really am damsel in distress...need to ask abang hisham for help, sin wee cam sibuk sangat dah...
ooo Allah...please..please help me............(wailing..huhuu)

huh, sekarang rase sgt2 nk bli laptop baru...takpun beli komputer terus..lame lagi nk dudok kat bumi nottingham ni..baru mantap sket..nnt la gi usha komputer...huhu

a visit to Bath

2008-11-03T14:13:00.007Z

last saturday, animated anis (my dear housemate), myself, and 39 other malaysian girls went to Bath by a chartered bus. the bus left nottingham around 7.20 am and the journey took about 3 hours.

did i tell you how lovely and supportive my other housemates were?..the night before, chief irina made us cheese cakes so that we could eat them on the bus, motherly maryam heated chicken wings on the next morning for our breakfast.(owh, bless them..) oh lupe nk bagitau, since we woke up quite late that morning, i called a cab to pick us up from the house to the bus stop which is about 7 mins walk (pemalas kan?..haha)..pastu, tgh rushing2, in the cab, halfway, animated anis realised that she wore kitchen flip-flop instead of sneakers. screaming shockingly, which almost made the cab driver died of heart attack,the driver had to turn back to our house..it was sooo hillarious..

disebabkan bangun lambat gak, we didnt put any make up and had to do make up on the bus. what an experience..(kene la make up, mane tau kot2 terjumpe jodoh, hahaha...)

an hour before reaching Bath, we stopped at Stonehenge. menarik gak la although i had very little appreciation on things like this..hehe..batu-batan jer pun..it was damn freezing, my teeth kept chattering non-stop tapi anis mantained je..siap unzipped lagik die nyer bubble jacket..anyway, we took a few pics (not bothered taking too many pics sbb tanak kuarkan tangan...sejukk kott!!)

sampai je kat Bath, we performed prayer and had lunch (nasi+ayam oreng+ tomyam)..sedapppp...tapi makanan sgt sejuk...anyway, after we splitted up, me and anis went to roman baths first.it was aamaaaaazing, SubhanAllah...i'd really want to briefly write about its history tapi cam malas sket, so maybe next time..hehe. after that, we went to Jane Austen Centre, yes the infamous jane austen who wrote sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice, and many more.the centre has a lot of her letters which were written to Cassandra (jane's sister), and pictures. her books are also available in the centre.

we spent more or less 4 hours in Bath before boarding the bus and went home, arriving in nottingham at aproximaly 8 pm.

buttock oh buttock

2008-10-30T16:40:00.003Z

oh please..this is not sumthing horny...hehe

this morning, i went to the DR, as usual, dissecting the buttock region. penatnye bukan kepalang bcos he was a big guy...man, it takes a huge amount of energy just to cut and reflect the gluteus muscles..the sad part was that i cut the muscle too deep which almost damaging the pectineus muscle the sciatic nerve...oh well...i can always do it again on the other buttock. speaking of which, i think megan did a really good job with her cadaver, dissecting both sides well and demonstrating the hip joint clearly...oh my, i need to work harder tomorrow morning...

ni cam lari sket dari topic (lari banyak sebenarnye...)...but i think my ex is already looking for a new girlfriend..kinda sad but hey life moves on...yeah i need to accept it...as for me, i am enjoying my single life...no strings attached, no comitment, nothing....

for dummies..

2008-10-29T14:02:00.007Z

i bought a book titled 'power point for dummies'..yes, lemme emphasize..FOR DUMMIES..and it just arrived this morning..i tried to read it ('selaking' page by page..) sadly, i couldn't find what I've been looking for..i know half of the book contents anyway..guess i'm not that dumb afterall..

in conclusion..power point for dummies is really just for dummies...DUMMIES only..(grrr...bengang)

entertainment nite..

2008-10-29T07:12:00.003Z

hi there...

last nite, we performed nasheed for the entertainment nite..we did a pretty good job considering the amount of time we had to practice it..hehe..anyway, we sang iman mutiara, selawat, and thank you ALLAH. and you know what, in the middle of our nasheed, suddenly there were two brothers, coming out of nowhere. we had to stop our nasheed at prompt since our solo, a pakistani girl (mashaAllah, she has a really good voice) doesnt sing in front of guys. we stopped for about 7 minutes, standing in front of the audience, doing nothing...it was REALLY FUNNY..haha. after the guys left, we continued singing..khadijah, the youngerst (7 years old) in our group really caught everyone's attention. she got lots and lots of kisses from the sisters. the most hillarious part was that she stuffed so many packets of crisps into her coats at the end of the night and looked like a girl with big fat belly haha, luv her...

by the way, i also cut my finger last nite (was an accident of course!..) and couldn't make it to the dissection room today..( a yeay for me though i was just finding an excuse ;-p) so..for today, i'll just stay at home and do a bit of work...daa~~~

dissection aftermath

2008-10-27T16:37:00.003Z

it was a tiring dissection indeed....had to flip the body over (with the help of other people of course ;-p), rip off the skin (sampai terkehel bahu dibuatnye...), remove the fat pad and etc. neway, a little update on today, RT, the one who manages the dissection room was scaring us again (as always although unintentionally..hehe). apparently, we had to do a 20 minute presentation on our project prior to viva..it's not marked though..but hey, i dun like presentation..it's just not my thing(if u know what i mean). man,...this whole project thing is driving me crazy. let alone the CAL package, i havent even started editing the pictures, oo Allah, please..please help me..

and o, we (as in housemates, myself, and some postgrad's children) are gonna perform nasheed this tues nite. we're having a practice tonite and i think it's gonna be hillarious. haha, the kids are adorable, one of them even gave Mar (my housemate) a get-well-soon card, sweet kan?

need to get ready for the nasheed practice...see ya

my project

2008-10-27T09:31:00.003Z

today is a new day....

i have a dissection today, urgh....i'm tired of cutting and dissecting but no choice.....hehe basically this is a third year project, consists of producing a prosection, CAL package and a dissertation...oooo...so many things to do in a limited time...

nway, i've got to study the buttock part before dissecting it, we dun want to remove anything important, do we?

ok..byee

2008-10-26T13:51:00.003Z

2008-10-26T11:52:00.000Z

yes..finally..i've got a blog and i'm officially a BLOGGER (sounds lame though..aha!!) i'm not really good with words and writing but lots of things have been lingering in my head lately..and my life is simply upside down..guess i need a medium to express myself and a BLOG could be a solution..neway, that's all for now..adios
