yesterday was the last of all the end block exams. only ONE more hurdle to overcome.
the results of the 2nd minitest also came out. i passed alhamdulillah. selama ni, i have not yet failed a minitest and also have never excelled. mediocrity. may be that's my ujian. how i face it and react to it. i have friends who have failed in all their minitests (but they pass the end block exams), i guess their desensitized to it. another friend who failed for the fisrt time was so depressed. would i have reacted the same???
after the MCQ paper, there was an appreciation lunch organized mainly by the brothers. WOW! i am impressed. it's not that i believe them incapable, it's just that they always seem uninterested in these things and rarely take the initiative. anyways, they did a fine job, with the help of some sisters. i datang makan je :P
p.s. i know that this blog and some of my entries will surely haunt me in the future. some of them already have, yet i'm still here.

a vicious cycle
i've been camping out and making meself comfy at the library discussion room 1 with sibah for three days now.
but there's nothing vicious about that.
what is vicious is my current polyuric (excessive urination) and polydipsic (extreme thirst)condition. i can barely last 5 minutes without having an urge to micturate. how is one supposed to study?
could it be related to hormones like in pregnancy? i have neither diabetes mellitus nor diabetes insipidus.
maybe it's psychogenic???
i have to drink becoz i'm thirsty. but if i do, i'll have to rush to the loo. if i don't i'll be dehydrated and then i'll be hypovoleamic and my brain will become hypoxic and i can die if my brain doesn't receive oxygen up to 4 minutes, i'll DIE... I think i'll go have a drink..
it's a very, very vicious cycle!

The arrival of the much-awaited nephew
I hadn't planned on going back home before the 1st pro exam, BUT after the 2nd minitest (which alhamdulillah is also the last minitest of my life here), I was just so anxious to see my nephew who was refusing to come out initially. I was soo restless that i slept only 2 hours. But that could also be due to my coffee consumption. When will i learn that coffee and me just don't go well together?
So after the test, which i did terribly by the way (why'd they have to ask unrelated Q's?), i hopped on a bus to KL. Ayah picked me up at stesen LRT Asiajaya and i was traded with Munibah coz she had to go back to Gombak... (i know u'r absolutely jealous niebah :P)
By the time i arrived in KL, kak yung had already given birth. She had a ceasaerian operation because the baby's umbilical cord was twisted around his neck. Alhamdulillah both are okay now. Because of the operation, kakyung had to stay longer at the hospital. That night, i stayed with kak yung.
Baby N (kak yung tak bagi tulis name die lagi) is sooo cute. He has a dimple in his right cheek. The docs say that he's long. His feet asyik terkeluar je from his bundle. Dia nangis pun sangat comel. I kept holding him and kak yung marah sebab takut he gets too comfortable and always wants to be handled which will give her difficulty in leaving him alone in future. Can't help it yung, the next time i see him, he'll already be one month old.
I now know that it's not that easy teaching a baby how to suckle. Takes quite some effort gak.

Especially for my little sis
To my dearest Kak Chik,
Congratulations!
For having passed through your SPM and survived
For working your hardest and giving your best
And for never surrendering
Until the end
Do not belittle yourself nor hold back any regrets
I have witnessed you labour and toil tirelessly
You were hardly around whenever I was at home
(Darn those tuitions and extra classes that forced me to busy myself with the TV)
Persistently fulfilling your duties toward your studies
(Even I got exhausted just seeing you like that)
Sister dearie,
It is not as much the results that count
(Regardless of mak and ayah’s disapproving looks)
As it is the effort put in
At the end of the day
You know you have done your greatest
(at least, I know you have)
Don’t worry little sis,
Allah has determined great things for you
Some of them you have already experienced
(Hey, not everyone gets to go to Aceh)
The rest are for you to anticipate enthusiastically
Where is the fun in knowing for sure what’s going to happen in the future eh?
They might not be wrapped up all nice in a package
They may possibly be patches here and there for you to discover
And from there, you’ll become a better person.
If there’s one phrase I’ve gotten from you chique,
(and believe me, there’s a whole bunch of ‘em)
It is “You Never Know”
Countless of times have I used this phrase
And all the while,
I’m reminded of you
With all your funny antiques and jokes
And weird habits
So my dear adik,
Regret not that which you have not
But be thankful for the numerous blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you
I pray for your success in whatever field you choose
And may Islam benefit from your choice
Loving you always,
KAK YANG

Ayman's wedding
Yesterday was Ayman, anak makcik Lainy's akad nikah here in Kuantan (He doesn't have the adik-beradik look). Somehow makcik's boys have the affinity for kuantanian girls... lol.
Mak cik, through kak Nur asked me, syahadah, saf and kinah to help bawa dulang hantarans. it took quite some time and discussion to agree but in the end, only saf and i could make it. Feeling somewhat out of place, we stuck to kak nur like glue. but she has to follow her husband of course.

acquiring medical equipments
Today i am the proud owner of a ceil blue Litmann Classic II S.E. stethoscope. yay.(i wish i had my camera right now to take pics of it but i guess my nephew's pics are much more essential.
after what seemed to me like being a multipolar neuron, being tugged at from many directions, the whole stethoscope buying business is finally settled. the deal from abang najmi (mediated by azamani) was by far the coolest and lowest price plus the colour options were more.
there's still the tendon hammers and BP sets and diagnostic sets and pen torches to see to.
Dirty dishes
it's really annoying how people can leave their dishes unwashed for several days. it's quite selfish you know. You are taking the right of others who also have the right to use them too.
it might just be forks and spoons and mugs and plates but if u don't wash them straight away, someone who wants to use them afterwards won't be able to.
i always wash whatever i use, but everytime I am in need of a spoon or fork, there's always no clean one available. it's like the mystery of the missing cutleries?
what is more irritating? when one does not wash containers that have been used to drink anything with milk or contains anything oily. yuck. it gives off a fowl smell.
the good thing from always washing after people is that i have mastered the art of opening the door with the olecranon of my ulnar aka elbow or my feet while juggling 4 cups, two plates and several spoons and forks. haha, my silver lining?
Similarity between females and felines?

BOTH:
- Shed hair everywhere
- Love attention

Ustaz Maszlee's kuliahs in Kuantan
The previous weekend I had a wonderful dose of Ustaz Maszlee’s kuliahs. I wasn’t really paying attention to the first talk about the cartoon controversy (rugi, but boleh tanye orang). I was busy attending to Sumayyah and Nusaibah (rindu sangat kat ustazah n the kids). Rufaidah (her looks are a combination of her elder siblings) was with someone else.After that, ustaz gave another talk during the katibah on sirah. must brush up on my sirah knowledge. sume dah rusty and berkarat. sometimes i'm rather confused because of all the shiah inclusions into sirah. hmm...
Sunday morning, we had a kuliah subuh by Dr Fauzi, suami mak cik Gini. Hehe, I kenal rupenye. After that, me, sibah, asma’ and kak lin went to Taman Bandar becoz mak cik pak cik had a programme, more of a get-together rather than to exercise. After one round of jog, we went to join the makciks. They’re all very lively.
Then, at 10 am was another round with Ust Maszlee entritled “Muslim Professionals: where are our positions?” He mentioned the 10 characteristics of a Muslim described by Hassan Albanna.
