hey jude : )

ive been listening to some oldies lately (couple of years old i guess),and strangely, melly goeslow's "ada apa dengan cinta" and "ku bahagia" : P and not forgetting the legendary beatles' "hey jude".it's kinda weird when sometimes people enjoys things that have passed years ago,without a sign of boredomeness shown while enjoying these so-called "classics"."history repeats itself",well,no doubt about that ; ) or perhaps the quality of today's music is undoubtly terrible and boring?well...some of them i guess....or maybe im just getting old : P

just finished my 2nd module for this semester,and ive passed my gastroenterohepatology module (relieved~) coming up!dermatology!everything to do with skin and skin diseases..some called it the toughest module for this semester,well,wish me luck then ; ) studying medicine is quite...tough.i remember,back then when i was young and stupid... ( : P haha) i thought medicine is similar to basic biology,where i had dissected frogs to learn anatomy and ignited peanuts to measure the enegy produced by the process of combustion? : P but the fact is...medicine is far more complicated then memorizing the citric-acid-cycle~its the combination of anatomy,physiology,patology,pharmacology and histology.every single unit matters,from the microscopic mitochondria that generates ATP,to the humongous liver that have more than 500 fuctions in our body.well...learning medicine is quite interesting...yet complicated.but hey,it would be f-ing boring to live a life with absolutely no obstacles and challenges.that's why God gives us brain,remember?

15th of november was eja's birthday,one of my best-buddies here.well,happy birthday eja : ) we went out,having a good friday together with her housemates and not forgetting aki and zul.i played about 8 games of bowling (till now i can hardly bend my thumb,because it had swollen pretty badly~) and ive done pretty well indeed : ) zahidah and eja think i should quit playing futsal and focus on playing bowling for the next pkpmi event though~haha.well,regarding last week's futsal tournament,i was quite dissapointed with the results,and with the team itself.football is not a one-man-game.it requires team-spirit,communication and unity within the players in the team itself.every single player has a specific task "appointed" to him,whether if he is a defender,a goalkeeper,or a striker.well,being a striker,i cant keep on playing the ball from the backline all the way to the opponents' goal.i need ball supplies,thru-passes,and sadly enough,i had couple of chances,which i did not completed well.credits to pokjak and the strong backline consists of apai,wak zul and din that had played well.we lost one of our playmaker that day,huhu.again,its not a one-man-game ; )

well,let bygones be bygones~HAPPY BIRTHDAY EJA :D

Her Majesty's Secret Service ; )

ive watched the latest of the Bond series,titled "Quantum of Solace",and it is a purely action-packed Bond movie ive ever watched!starring Daniel Craig as Bond,and the gorgeous Olga Kurylenko (not forgetting the new Aston Martin DBS : P),its a well-mixtured blend of revenge and adrenaline.Daniel Craig did well,playing his role as a heartless British secret service agent,but this time...killing unpurposely,without missions...and cool gadgets : ( (not forgetting the ruined DBS!urghhh!!) i cant spill all the critics out because some of us (those in the states : P) haven't watch this movie yet...well,im feeling sorry for that one Bond-fan over there : P

well,enough of bond.let's talk about real life.im doing fine nowadays,and sorry for the abandoned blog, keeping myself busy lately : P surviving the rheumatomusculoskeletal module.its a quite interesting subject by the way,learning about bones,muscles,how humans use them,diseases related with the skeletal system,except for Dr Tanu's lecture on pharmacology : P (which i did not attend).it teaches me to appreciate the structures that built me,BONES and MUSCLES,so that i wont use it excessively...and drink more milk : P

last monday was the "makan-makan" event organised by my batch,celebrating those whose birthday was on the month of July,August,September and October (mine was 24th of August 1988 btw : P).it was held at The Buffet,where i enjoyed endless supply of roasted duck and tenpayakki-grilled-beef-burgers : D all of us had a great time there,getting to know each other more (apai mentioned to the crowd that i "ignorantly" do not know every single girl's name in our batch,which i found out to be "not important" : P) and enjoying some interesting activities,planned by Mus (Good job!).btw,pijot asked me a rather sensitive question."apsal aku tengok ko xrapat sangat aa dgn boys?" : P well,pijot,sometimes...we have this 'circle',where one thinks that the people that mingle well within the circle to be more....friendly,and it doesnt mean i cant socialize with the people outside the circle : ) "btw,aku normal pijot,ko xperlu risau : P" huhu~

U GUYS HAVE TO WATCH "QUANTUM OF SOLACE"!

today is saturday~

the 4th day of raya,just got back from playing tennis at mpsah (some college) with my ibrahim friends.i played badly?well,must be the PTS (post-traumatic-syndrome) that ekey mentioned last few weeks : P but i think it's the post-raya-syndrome caused by excessive consumption of pulut and rendang,causing fat build-up to occur around the abdominal part of the body,leading to obesity,thus causing whatever~ : P

last night i was hanging out with my friends,the same ol ibrahim friends : P starbucking n mamaking (java chips with whipped cream on top to end the day,nice~).all of them study overseas,except fifi,with his transnasional airlines (departing daily from puduraya i'ntl airport,as he said : P), so it was like the time of the year where everyone gather n chat till the mamak feels "reluctant" to take our orders (kayu punya anne!!) .well,guess what?all my friends who's taking medicine,all in the 'single,not availabe' status : P suprise....suprise....well,is it caused by the hectic schedule?or by the 'long-distance-relationship' factor?whatever it is...im happy with my current status : ) it all depends on both sides,the girl and the boy,the "understanding" n "give and take" part.as for me?i need a girl who understands me,who supports me in everything i do,and give me enough freedom to enjoy my bachelor life.im not married yet!

enough with relationships~ill be flying my ass back to jakarta on the 6th,so there's only 2 days left for me to enjoy myself,because i'll probably not be coming back for raya haji break.exam...exam...gastroenterohepatology,sounds cool~but HELL A LOT to read : P hopefully i'll do well this semester,I NEED TO.please pray for my success my dear friends : )

-the most interesting event of the week-"the confession" ; )

1st of syawal,eid mubaraq....i remember.... : )

hey there folks!it's been quite a loooooong time since my last post on ramadhan : P "aku da agak dah....2 weeks je ko neh" yeap ekey,you're right : P haha.well,it's raya eve,and i would like to wish all muslims "selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin" or "selamat idul fitri" to my fellow indonesian friends : )

I remember last year,when i was celebrating raya miles away from home and family,and my favourite ketupat palas and kuah kacang : P in this place called jakarta, even worst, grogol~ it was like a sleepy ghost town that day,where the locals (so called the locals : P) all went home happily to their villages,mostly in central java, leaving jakarta sleepy,inhabitant-free and yes,pollution free : P one can run happily on the streets,without fearing of getting hit by that noisy bajai (bajai is a type of three-wheeled transportation used by the locals, google it : P)

i remember...that day i was wearing my all-black baju melayu,with my mrsm sampin : P searching for a cab,heading to the embassy for the morning eid prayer.well,finding one cab wasn't that easy that particular morning...regarding us being the only people,well,better said inhabitants walking along the streets of tawakal in the early morning of 1st syawal (rats don't ride the cabs though : P) after,well...about half an hour searching that f*ckin cab!finally one blue bird taxi saved the day! : D happily carried our four-big-fat-lazy-asses along the smooth and traffic-free roads,that is usually crammed with cars and people,straight to the kedutaan besar malaysia jakarta,which in those early days there, was the place i called home (well...because they serve malaysian food : P)~

as usual,we arrived quite late that morning,like any other day : P. everyone was in the main hall, chanting the "takbir raya", which was quite synonym with the raya-morning-mood~everyone dressed up nicely,with happy-shiny-faces, smiling : ) the prayer went well,and the "perutusan" from the king was read,which was the most boring part of the day~then,came the BIG FEAST : D ketupat,lemang,kuah kacang and rendang.it wasn't even near to my maktok's homemade kuah kacang and ketupat palas,but,who gives a damn sh*t about it?u lived abroad,so act like one! : P there's this one malaysian army commando who i think drank about 7 glasses of teh tarik? "rindu makanan malaysia,dah 2 minggu dekat bandung~" : P i felt sorry for him...haha.hyperglycemia~ : P

the event continued with speech from the dato' duta,and that stupid poncho2 dance,which i didn't join (my hip is quite...unflexible : P).went to the wisma malaysia later on, filling our tummies with nasi minyak,credits to maisarah and the gang : ) and sang happily on the wisma's stage,that same ol' lagu raya songs : )
it was a memorable hari raya, even without celebrating it with my beloved family.well,not this year though!this year im home! : D

P/S; i hope u enjoy reading this one izzaty ; )

ramadhan : )

its ramadhan people!the month of fasting, ayam percik and cendol : P for those whose been living in jakarta this whole month,good luck with the tempe!haha. ramadhan...i remember back then,when i was very very young, too young to fast : P i used to do that puasa "yang-yok"a.k.a cheating, huhu. peanut butter in the fridge, one deliciously-cold-thirst-quenching carton of milk, drinking tap water after p.e...yes,been there,done that . a part of sweet memories from my joyful, stress-free childhood life : ) wish i can turn the time back around..well, now i'm a big boy, with responsibilities , and yes, i do a full month of fasting nowadays : P no more yang-yoks,huhu.

yesterday, i went to penang with my family. having some fun, good food (credits to ahmediyya ; ) ) and disturbance (lala knows,haha). we were having lunch by the beach, when suddenly out of nowhere a group of rempits having their merdeka day tour-de'-penang ( i guess..) and sat just beside us. Sitting there would be no problem, as this is a free-nation, but behaving like jerks, talking rubbish to passerby , and calling the tourists with improper names is such a disgraceful act.Well, guess who are they?they're the malay youths. I'm not treasoning or whatever you call it, it's just i'm totally ashamed of having such brothers and sisters with their uncivilized acts, and spreading the shame all over our faces, like the malay said " cubit peha kanan,terasa peha kiri". hoping as they grow up, such things will change...(not being racist btw ; ) ) happy ramadhan!may it cleanse our soul from evil and darkness that surrounds us,amin

merdeka!

31st of august,2008,marked malaysia's 51 years of independence and freedom. Well,nowadays,people celebrate independence day with fireworks and concerts...i have no complaint on that : P but seriously,all those celebration stuff means nothing.i'm not trying to be patriotic or something,but people! Malaysians nowadays are too obsessed with entertainment. akademi fantasia,american idiot..oops : P you name it..those are the parasites that are sucking the goodness of brain from our younglings. I asked one cousin of mine, she was 6 years old..."nanti besar nak jadi ape?" the answer is "nak masuk af =D". what was that? where's the i-want-to-be-a-doctor phrase?or some other highly-educated profession? i'm not criticizing the local entertainment industry,they're just doing their part of living, it's their bread n butter. but excessive entertainment causes invinsible damage to our youngsters. to them, stardom is now the shortcut to success and happines...whatever that is : P c'mon...life's not that easy tho...

one boring friday..

well,not much to do today.watched wall-e for the second time,the 1st one back there in jakarta,huhu. sweet wall-e,that's what anis said : P well,frankly speaking...it's kinda boring actually,but i love the part before the movie begins,its about that french magician ( i think he's french by that well-shaped-moustache : P ) with his cute lil' white rabbit. well, if u havent watch the movie yet,u better do ; )

budget 2009, announced by the prime minister this evening, at the parliament. well, first of all , i'm kinda frustrated on the education part. It looks like there'll be no increasement on my allowance : P haha. may sound selfish, but the cost of living there (whoever said living in indonesia is cheap,YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG : P) is sky-rocketing at the moment! please pak lah...have mercy on us,huhu. Well, speaking on the budget, it looks like the government been spending lots of money giving aids to the rakyat,credits to pak lah,eventho he's not 'feeling well' while reading the texts : P i'm not supporting anyone,but sometimes, we have to give compliments instead of criticizing : ) anwar ibrahim, looking good in his yellow baju melayu...hopefully he'll work hard on achieving "a better malaysia" which is all over his posters and websites, instead of just sitting there just to warm up his parliamentary seat, huhu.good luck~

Failure...bittersweet of life

I just got this err..disturbing news from jakarta. i've successfully failed my pharmacology and parasitology, which is the 1st ever. well,congratulations to me : ) thank god im off for holiday..well,every single problem,has their own solution. what can i do to solve this horryfying-disastrous-self-choking problem regarding my academic downfall from going into deepshit?well...determination?i think i have to start all over again,from the beginning..

What's the main reason mara sent me all the way to jakarta,leaving my families,loved ones,bestfriends,my 3 seroja housemates : P why?simple. Because they want me to become a medical doctor. Intention,that's the main root of this problem..i went there, spending my money on food,hang-outs,cinemas,and not on books : P now that's one ugly attitude of mine,huhu. But what's the use of buying books,if you dont really use them?haha...got a point on that.but seriously,i have to change..before things got worst...wish me luck people : )

new kid in the blog~

holidays, semester breaks = boredom.not so many people agree with that one tho : P so here i am,writing some shit, thanks to the "wonderful" liburan that ive been waiting for the last 5 months!

i've been reading this money-making-motivational-book titled "think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill.good book to read tho,well,if u have nothing to do like studying the anatomy and physiology books for your anatomy exams or something? : P the one point that is strongly mentioned in this book is "DETERMINATION". I've been quite a loser lately,either in love,or in study.I dont know what the hell is wrong with me,but somehow,these "things" connect each other very well,and hugely affect my life..i've been talking to friends,family,and some strangers : P but i still dont have the answer to solve this catastrophic problem of mine! i'm not sure which one is my number one priority..i'm a student,yes,but i'm 20 years old! this may sound cheesy,but i wanted to be loved too....achievements,achievements...am i too greedy?or just being paranoid by THE BIG LOSS

so...determination...which path will i lead it to...?is it to my troublesome-love-life that brings me joyful happiness but huge cut deep inside when shit happens?or is it to my so called noble-lifesaving-hero-of-the-day medical studies that crammed every single neuro cells that got me fever when the once-every-two-weeks exam comes?why is this life so f*cking stressful!every one was like saying "hey,u're a guy,u study medicine,and u have problems with girls?sheesshh...".Like..what the hell does studying medicine got anything to do with having a girl who really loves you? People!the materialism era may have just begun,but i don't believe in such cheap-minded-thinking....just be honest to your feelings,and live a happy life.

There's this one story in this book about Thomas Edison and his business partner.this guy,named Mr.Barnes came all the way from nowhere and headed to New Jersey just to persuade this Edison guy to be his business partner,without a single penny in his pocket,like what the malay called "modal-air-liur".This Edison guy noticed that burning desire showing all over this "air liur" Barnes and decided to give this guy a job,well,not his business partner!to be one of his employee. As time passes by,this determination of Barnes never fades away,but it keeps growing and growing....One day,Edison wanted to sell his some-type-of-communication-device but failed to persuade his salesmen to sell them to the public. Mr.Barnes,saw this opportunity, and offered himself to sell it for him,which end up to supply him with pots and pots of money.happy ending~the point is,one have to be determined to get whatever he or she wants.The question remains.....what exactly do i want?
