There are so many random things happening this few days.
My couz bore a baby boy, Muhammad Hadif in HUSM Kubang Kerian.
Muhammad Hadif.
But he's still fragile being born prematurely.
His mother just got to hold him yesterday.
But the docs say that he'll need lotsa skin contact with his mom.
Our angel who protects us..

Then we were discussing about how to have a good memory.
How Ibn Sina and all those Islamic academias could make such accomplishments.
By training to be a hafidz at young age.
Yeah, why not?!
Al-Quran, after all is our manual of life.
The most important thing is we put the base firmly on its ground.
Then, insyallah,anything after that will be smooth.
Yeah, I strongly believe those who have all the verses in memory.
Have a good memory for other things too.
It seems that I forgot, fardhu ain comes first before fardhu kifayah.
So, I'll jot this down.
Having my offspring to be a hafidz.

And, Ya Allah,another soul is coming.
Kak Aini will be admitted tomorrow.
Her baby weighed up to 4kg!
C-section most probably will be done tomorrow.
I'm so excited.

Irony to celebrating a new life, we all are being reminded of our last day.
Yeah, our last day on the earth.
It can be anytime,can't it?
My world has been reminded following Muhammad Ammar's death.
They say, he has done his part.
And I?
If I'm being invited now, I have no preparation at all.
Will I die a useless death?

And I can't wait to watch The Arrivals.
The content is quite heavy.
But hey,why not?

Aha,and almost forgot, Rejab is here!!
Which means in 2 months Ramadhan is coming.
Ahh, I love Ramadhan.
The month when we can see our neighbours when we go tarawikh. (nmpk sgt xkenal jiran sendiri kan?)
The month where most of the people are more mannered (I really think so)
The month where we have everybody at the dining table at iftar.
Still,reminiscing high school days, who can forgot a full dining hall, counting down silently for the azan.

And my mom makes roti jala today.
With kuah durian and curry (I choose the latter)
Even I'm not a bing fan of durian, I'm all over rambutan.
And mak said "tu la, bila la anak mak nak balik kan?"
Sadis okeh.
2 of my housemates are done with their histo and they are waiting for Zetty who's taking hers tomorrow before they punch in their credit card numbers for tickets home.
Arghhhhhhh!!!!
And I still have anat,which I really hope I'll pass at first attempt.
Then, I can celebrate Eid in all the tropicalness.
Or else, I'll have to return just like everybody else.
Wish me luck!

And I think Yusuf is such a beautiful name.

Monsoon in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic

Yeah,I know, Czech Republic will never have monsoon because it's a landlocked country.
But the weather now is really like the monsoon back home. (albeit back home,the monsoon is more pronounced)
It's middle of June and we only have a few sunny days.
However, I'll think this positively (even I can't sun-dry my laundry)

I've put one foot into the second year, still I have anatomy ahead.
199 questions.
What's the significance of having constant shower in summer has to do with my final?
Actually in winter, we had Biophysics.
And it snowed every now and then.
Now, when I'm begging my hippocampus to store all the memory.
It's showering outside.
In Islam,we take rain as a rahmat.
A symbol of blessing.
There is always something good to look forward after the rain.
Be it mushroom or green.
I hope.
As cooling as the rain provide me when I'm studying.
Is as comforting and relieving as a signature of my examiner on my index book this July.
Wish me luck!

Allah, is always there for me.

Something to Ponder

We bought a rice cooker recently.
Today, after putting the filled pot back into the rice cooker, I returned to a puddle of sticky fluid on the cabinet and some on the floor.
Cleaning up, I had nothing in mind.

Now, after a simple, edible lunch and few hours.
Something hit me.
I mean, it reminds me of my elementary school days.
To be precise art classes.
One of our project was making mask from used newspapers.
Our teacher told us that we'll need lotsa glu.
A 20 cent tube of glu won't make it.
The teacher told us to ask our parents to make some for us.
My parents, as always, prepared for me a real lot of glu.
To be precise, they cooked me the glu.
Tapioca glu.
Maybe they think rice glu wont make it.
My project.
As always, it was a disaster.
The then clumsy me, making something from pieces of wet newspaper and sticky tapioca glu.
What else could u expect from Miss Wanshah?

More than 10 years have gone by, and I'm glad that I still remember my parents support towards my education.
And I wonder if I could cook the tapioca glu for my kids when they have to make mask from used newspapers.
I may as well just go into a stationary shop and buy a box of glu in colourful tubes made in China.

Ujian Dunia

Sindrom final kali ini sangat la merebahkan.
103 soalan.85 slides.3D plates.
Ink pen pilot dah nak habis, dah 3 buku bertulis nota.
Highlighter pun dah nak kering.
Soalan yg bertanda, boleh la tahan.
Tapi tak setanding dengan countdown.
Nota bersilih ganti.
Handwriting ada dekat 5 versions.
Ada apa dengan final kali ni.
Bila fikir-fikir balik, sekadar mengulang baca.
Benda yang pernah disentuh setiap kali sebelum labs.
Bila baca,alhamdulillah masuk.
Cumanya nak mengingat semua jawapan untuk 103 soalan tu memang tak termampu.
Inikan pulak nak ingat details each one.
Ya, saya akui susah untuk menjadi seorang doktor.
Susah lagi bila setiap final ialah oral.
Susah sangat bila soalan dicabut.
Sunyi sangat sebab berjuang individually.
Tak boleh senyum sama2.
Menangis pun tak bersama.
Positif mind.
Pergantungan kepada Allah lebih tinggi.
Sebab kini, tiada orang lain yg tulis jawapan dlm kertas di kiri,kanan, depan mahupun belakang.
Yang ada, diri sendiri dan lecturer yang entah bagaimana cara beliau meng'evaluate' setiap org.
Dan lindungan payung rahmat Allah.
Besarnya pergantungan kpd Allah.
Mencabar sungguh final ni.
Macam berjalan malam.
Tak nampak apa yang ada di depan.
Even segala persediaan dah dibuat.
Hati tetap bertanya, what is awaiting for me?
Bisik2 kepada Allah, mudahkanlah perjalananku.
Malu sungguh.
Kalau nak dibandingkan dgn ujian2 lain.
Kecilnya ujian ni.
Talian hayat yang ada cuma tali pergantungan kpd Dia.
Sungguh,terasa mcm berjalan merempuh angin.
Tapi Lina dapat!
I'll keep walking and bertahan dari rebah.
Peganglah hatiku ya Allah

Wedding

A friend from my childhood tied the knot yesterday and having her reception today. While me, I'm still dating these
Too bad, I am not there to celebrate the day.
I heard many of my friends already married.
What I do?
I try to make my sepet eyes round and gaping
Suddenly I feel like am an old girl
Honestly,the first news gave me a big shock
but few more followed up and here I am, feeling old *run and check my wrinkles*
hyperbola sungguh

but u see, when I'm like these



Sleeping at random places (as random as in a small train station) (>.<)y

I don't think that I'm fit to be someone wife let alone be someone girlfriend
Owh crap, since when do I start to write stuff like this *covering myself with the blanket*

Applying for Visa in Hradec Kralove

Status : emotionally stable

Ok, here are some brief and important information regarding visa renewal.
It's based on my experience as a student of LFHK (Lekarska Fakulta v Hradci Kralove a.k.a Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove)
How to get there?
Get into bus no 7 from Magistrát města bus stop.
and disembark at Husův pomník bus stop.
Good thing is there is anouncement made about the next station in the bus.

So u must walk from where the bus come until you see a junction with zebra crossing (remember, the road where the bus come from ok?)
be good, use the zebra crossing.
there is a gated area with many cars.
Get in there and walk under the roof.
U'll find a plate announcing something like cizinske policie.
u r entering the foreign police when u place your hand on the knob of a lacquered door.
Is that understandable?

Ok, next is the opening time.
Sadly telling you that the foreign police is open for visa only on Monday and Wednesday.

Documents that u need to have :

Photo

Filled application form (a green one)

Credit cards (G2 N EURO)

Green visa application form (filled)

A confirmation paper from landlord (to show that u r not nomad)

A piece of paper from the faculty (ask from the study division)

Passport

A special stamp. but u also have another option which is to pay 1000kc for it at the foreign police

In the green application form, there is a part where u need to fill in which asks about particulars if u r residing more than 3 months. So, the 'until' date should be the same as the date your previous visa expires

One more thing, when u get in the foreign police use your common sense and mouth.
ask who is the last person because some of people over there obviously don't know how 2 line up or they are disable or elder people.
And u, be good and line up.

Visa Oh Visa

Since I'm an alien here, I need to renew my visa every year.
Insyaallah, I'll go through this process for another 5 times.

So, I just want to advise whoever it may concern (read:students from non-EU country in Hradec Kralove), don't be stupid like me.
Lesson no1-don't put your trust in just 1 person
Lesson no2-ask here and there even it's quite annoying
Lesson no3-renew your visa before the study week start

So, bring with you the renewal form which is green, your insurance certificate, birth certificate, agreement with landlord (if U have 1), bank cards etc. etc.
Simply put, bring every damn documents that u have.

And owh, many thanks for the reminder after things already happened.that is really a great help.
