Monday to Friday

Good question, right?

Why is Monday so far from Friday?

You wait 5 days to finally enjoy your free time but

you only get to enjoy it for only 2 days.

Why not the other way around?

So what can I do between Monday and Friday?

1. Bake cupcakes 

2. Try a new recipe (Souffle perhaps?)

3. Finish editing & submitting my reports (A must!)

4. Set up cicak traps

So when Friday comes will I look forward to next Monday?

Not a chance!

Words To Live By

I'll definitely keep these words in mind. 

Love Happens To Those Who Wait

A month ago I went back to Malaysia for my friend's wedding. Suki & Aimi were both my seniors in Gadjah Mada University. I consider Aimi as one of my close friends in Yogya. We lived in the same house for almost 5 years! 

The akad nikah was at Aimi's house in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. I actually flew back from Yogya on the 3rd. And on the same day I flew to KB at night. The wedding was on the 4th and I flew back to KL on the same day as the wedding. I guess you can say I spent exactly 24 hours in KB. A lot of exciting things happen during the 24 hours. I had a lot of fun and it was worth flying back to Malaysia for. 

Here are a few pictures I took during the wedding. There was a lot to choose from. Now I understand the dilemma of professional photographers. Hoho!

Congratulations Aimi & Suki!

Josh oh Josh

You gotta watch this. Josh Groban definitely has a funny bone.

A new year has begun and the best way to start it with....

KARAOKE!

Twenty Eleven

Happy New Year!

Gosh, it's been more than a year since my last post. I recently decided to re-launch my blog. I needed something to do to inspire myself as well as others.

2010 has been bittersweet. Good memories as well as the bad. But somehow the bad ones seems to be the ones you will remember the most. Most probably because it left a bigger impact in my life. But also because you learn from it even if it takes awhile for you to realize it. I'm still coping but I'm sure I'll be fine. Baby steps. =)

Despite a bad memory a good one will always make you smile (unless the bad memory has a small connection to it. Hoho!). 2010 was the year my family was blessed with 3 babies: Imran, Khalila & Zafira. Alhamdulillah. I went to Mecca with my family and maid. First Raya with my whole family cos my brother's back in Malaysia. My BGFFs got married: Zaza, Sha, Aimi & Mariam. Tasha got enganged. Congrats girls!

I stopped making resolutions since last year. Mainly because I know I can't keep it. So for 2011 I decided to start on a few 'projects' instead. Kinda like 'Things-to-do-list'.The first one is re-launching my blog. The second project is under construction and will be up and running soon. Alhamdulillah.

I want to make 2011 be the year I rediscover myself. Not that I want to be selfish but I think I've lost track of a lot of things lately. So I'm slowly trying to reconnect all the little pieces. Of course taking small trips along the way isn't a bad idea either. Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Karimun is definitely on my list. Traveling is definitely me rediscovering the globetrotter side of me. And of course finishing Dental School is on the top of my list! I need to start getting my own income soon. No more asking Mummy for extra cash. Hehe.

Dear 2011, you look promising. Cheers to you mate!

The Trip Through Self Reflection

I just came back from my trip to Japan 3 days ago. It was a short and nice trip. I'll post some pictures later. My parents celebrated their 25th Anniversary there. Congrats mummy and daddy!

My blog post today isn't gonna be about my trip to Tokyo but more of self reflection while I was there. I can't help but feel some what inferior to my other sibling. I may be the older sibling but somehow he seems like the wise one to my parents eyes. I am happy he has grown up to be who he is. I've always known he was the smart one in the family. Its funny how he always use to say he has to live up to my shadows or something like that. But he needs to know now that's how I feel. Heh. But all is good between us. Happy to say we've never fought except when one is a bad mood and the other is getting on their nerves. I'm proud of you little brother.

This year will be the 2nd Raya celebration without my brother. Raya is not the same without you. Your yearly routine is to get ready and wear sampin in front of my mirror. I'll be alone ber-maafan with mummy and daddy. *sigh* Hopefully Raya next year you'll be around and the family will be complete. Plus by Raya next year InsyaAllah we'll have 2 more additional extended family members. Amin. =)

Today is the last day of Ramadhan. Tomorrow will be start of Syawal. Taking the time to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin. Hope everything is forgiven and I'm sorry if I've hurt anyone in any way.

xoxo

Leaving on A Jetplane

Today is the day I go back! Woot woot!

Before going back gotta stop by my faculty first to finish pending endodontic treatment. Honestly I wasn't planning to go to campus before heading back but I can't let my patient go back without his filling. Heh. Syukur Alhamdulillah I manage to do all my checklist from my previous entry except for insert crown for L. Manage to give her a temporary one till I come back.

In a few hours I'll be in Malaysia and tomorrow I'll wake up in the Land of the Rising Sun. ;P

OMG!

I just realized I'm going back in less than a week! As much as I'm very happy about it, I don't think I can enjoy it cos I've got loads of work to do before I go back. Here's a small check-list:
1. Pick-up and pay for Visa letter
2. Finish discussing Orthodontic treatment for A
3. Insert crown for L
4. Try-in half denture for Pak W
5. Send full denture and free end for proceassing
6. Try-in full denture base plate for Pak S
7. Polish Class IV resin composite filling

Oh, crap! Can I finish all that in less than a week? I sure hope so!

On a brighter note, I also can't believe I'll be in Japan in less than a week. Woot woot! Can't wait for my second trip there. Japan is an absolutely amazing country to visit. Unfortunately it's fasting month so no soft ice-cream for me. Maybe I'll have some after buka. *wink* I think I should do a small check-list of things I want to find. I'm definitely heading to any camera shops and most definitely going to Uniqlo! And if I stumble upon H&M, I'm definitely going there too!

Malaysia & Japan here I come!

The Trouble With Misinterpretation

It has come to my attention that one of my latest blog entry has been wrongly interpreted. I'm sorry if some people misunderstood what I wrote. So in the future, please verify properly what I meant to say before getting emotional about the situation. Words are words. It can be twisted or turned upside down. Plus sometimes there is more than one simple meaning to a phrase.

In the words of the eminent 19th century physician William Osler, "Learn to see". To be able to see, not merely look, is the foundation of discovery. =)

Yet Another Issue Of Us Stealing Their Culture

It's getting out of hand... Every single month something will come up about us stealing something from them. Don't you people have anything better to do besides pointing fingers at us?

Seriously... We don't make a big deal about things that you steal. Or the crimes that you commit. And yet you make a big deal of every single thing that we do.

Puh-leazeee... Be more civilised. We are living in a new era.

So Little Time, So Much To Do

I was back in Malaysia for almost 2 weeks and I didn't update my blog. No time mah! Wanna know why? Here's why:

Wednesday, 29/07/09
Went to Wangsa maju at 9am to renew my passport. Its suppose to expire in 2012 but I only 4 pages left. Unfortunately they can only extend it for 6 months eventhough I still have 3 more years on my passport. My passport was ready in an hour! Fast and efficient! I like! My next appointment was 2 hours away, so I killed time window shopping at KLCC. Honestly I wasn't really impressed with the Mega Sale. Heh. By 12pm I was on my way to Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC) for my appointments. First was with Dr Gangaram (dermatologist) at 12.30pm. Am happy with the medication he gave me for my skin. Next was Prof Muhaya at 2pm for my LASIK screening. I passed the test for LASIK with flying colours. *wink* So I made an appointment for my LASIK surgery on Friday. My next destination was Sg Wang and Pavillion. Truth be told, I had no intention for shopping but since my mum finished work at 7pm and I had almost 3 hours to kill, those two places were good places to kill time. ;P

A book to keep me company through out the day

Went to Indonesian Embassy at 9am to apply for my visa. When I was there the counter for student visa wasn't even open yet! The guy finally came at 10am. WTH? I've a list of complaints about my experience there but I shall avoid trouble by not explaining it all. Let's just say I was asked to fotocopy stuff 4 times till the guy actually remembered my name. Then they asked me to come back at 4pm to pick up my passport. While waiting for my ride, the security guard was asking soo many question. Can't he see by my 'No-eye-contact' and 'Body-not-facing-him' language to get away from me? The worst part was he actually had the nerve to ask for my phone number! WTH? I said no, he asked a few more questions and finally my ride came! Whew! Next was a short stop at Low Yatt to buy ink for my printer. Went back home to rest and went back to the embassy to pick up my passport and visa.

Urgh! Indonesia Embassy
