snippets of eid

salam.

i guess its unfair to let good pictures go to waste(especially when they were taken by a bunch of talented photographer friends).so here i am copying them one by one here as they'll bring color to my blog=)


ahh..i love the freedom of acting weirdo in dublin.


the piano.the photographer.and the tilted heads.


long live malaysia hall,dublin!


the famili,always.

and since i'm in retro mood,lets dance with her.she's brilliant!



till then.take care peeps.

greener on the other side.

just got back from wexford,a small town just two and a half hour from dublin.i'm all tired and worn out but i refused to end my day just yet since i still have lots to catch up doing when i'm back to dublin a while ago.did i miss wexford already?part of me say yes but another part longing for my own bed and super fast internet access in the comfort of my own bedroom.however,loads of new things i've learnt in wexford general hospital.from a very student friendly consultant paediatrician to super snappy registrar,i think i had gained more knowledge in wexford than i was in temple st children hosp in dublin..syukur.and i think i gained weight too.blame the free lunches and delicious indian cuisine as they were the culprits.maybe i need to cut down carb and start eating salads after this?hurmm...

life after all is starting to get better.alhamdullillah.

offnote:last tuesday,when i was tagging along the ward round,my mind flew back to malaysia.hari selasa hari raya ke-3.everyone must have great time celebrating eid.tapi saya rasa macam dah lama sambut hari raya padahal baru hari ahad pergi solat aidilfitri.then i realized,i just had a day of raya before i went down the country to resume my normal routine.what a life.

there were lots of people at malaysia hall.

there were satay too but i didn't get any.poor us and boO the organizer.

there were 2 people wearing the same baju kurung but with different color.i wished i had my sister's.

there was drum hero besides guitar hero at jay's.but i think i better stick to guitar.

there were delicious yummy beehun soup and moist chocolate cake with our own nasi impit and kuah kacang.i think i couldn't get enough of them.

manchester city lost to united!owh i'm worried.

but hey,chelsea drowned spurs 3-0.a big yeay isn't it?

owh lord,more to say but where art thou?

it's been few frustrating days.

not a hello from the virtual world nor calls from the other side of the world.

its raya and all i want to do is to ask for forgiveness and to wish u a blessed and beautiful eid ul fitr.

i hope all is well.

i really do.

titipan syawal

salam.

first of all,ramadhan kareem is waving us goodbye and syawal pula akn menjelma esok.
the last 5 years were ok.there were times when i didn't feel like raya at all especially if raya fell on school days.alhamdulillah this year's eid falls on sunday.at least i can go to eid ul fitr prayer with ease and peace=)definately malaysia hall will be the venue for the prayer as the takbir there sounds much like malaysia compared to dublin or clonskeugh mosques which are the main mosques in dublin.after that,like yesteryears,we are going to gather at one of final meds house to feast our tummy with variety of raya cuisines dan juga sesi mengomen kueh raya.so before i go to my lala land,here 2 rangkap pantun khas sempena syawal 1430.

kuah kacang dimasak sedia,
nasi impit dimakan berserta,
kita semua insan biasa,
segala khilaf maaf dipinta.

baju ungu labuci kilauan,
tudung ariani hitam diwarna,
tahun ini masih di perantauan,
tahun hadapan kita beraya bersama.

=)

salam lebaran~

dublin,ireland.
1430 hijrah.

raya,raya,raya.

nie dah lewat malam nie.saya sepatutnya tidoq dah.tp secawan mocha sgt powerful making me wide awake at this wee hours.

anyway,2-3 hari nie,pergi mana-mana pun dengaq lagu raya.rumah-rumah kawan dan dalam radio dlm laptop sendiri pun ada.kononnya tahun ini perasan diri i tabah la.i told myself tahun nie i mst tak rasa sedeh sangat memandangkan tahun depan i dah raya kat malaysia.kunun nak enjoy raya this year kat sini puas-puas la.kunun akan bertabah nie.tapi i rasa nak humban kunun-kunun semua tu dalam longkang.isk..isk..isk..dengaq lagu raya nie makin sedeh.dengaq anak-anak sedara berkumpul di rumah buat kueh raya laeee sedeh.best gila klau boleh join.siap korang maksu buli.sorang goreng tepung sorang ayak tepung(nie tasks paling dibenci semua org okay).muahaha.kenapa tak buat dulu masa maksu ada.haa?..haaa?huhu.nak raya kat malaysiaaaa!huwaaa!

kisah baju raya

salam.

diam tak diam dah nak masuk 21 ramdhan kan?cepat betul masa meninggalkan kita.baju raya dah siap?kueh raya dah berapa bekas?=)

hari ini tetiba nak cerita pasal baju raya.bagi i,setiap tahun memang beli ready-made sahaja.ironic betul,ibunda saya kat rumah tu mmg tukang jahit kampung.oleh kerana beliau ada banyak sgt tempahan,maka yang dihadkan hanya tempahan baju kurung pesak or pahang.easy and quick to be made.baju kebaya,kurung moden atau yang fancy-fancy lain tu hanya dijahit untuk kami anak-anak aja.itupun dah lama tak merasa.dah terlupa bila kali terakhir i beli kain pasang untuk dijahit oleh emak.bz nya kalah doktor.hehe.

kalau balik cuti saja mak akn tanya bila nak beli baju raya and gaya macam mana pulak tahun nie?jawapan standard i,baju kurung(akhirnya smp cuti habes baru kelam kabut nak cari).anak mak yang sorang nie tak kesaaah.asal cantik dan berkenan di hati,rembat aja.but knowing my taste yang tak seberapa nie,i selalu serahkan urusan pemilihan baju kurung/raya kepada bunda dan kekandaku sahaja.let them choose.i trust them 100%.tahun nie,me and my sister plan nak buat kurung dr kain cotton sahaja sbb kunun nak bersederhana la kan.klau pilih dr kain ni confirm mak yg akn kena jahit sbb so far tak penah jumpa baju kurung kain cotton yg ready made xcept fer kids la.so,hari yang dinanti sudah tiba,elok je nak masuk kamdar nak beli kain,mak kata jom lah pi tgok baju-baju kurung kat kedai yang berderet-deret tu dulu.jln punya jalan until smp satu kedai where we are frequent to and which my sister holds it's member card.mak terus suruh i tgok-tgok yang mana i berkenan.ikut kan hati byk la i berkenan kan but as i mentioned earlier,i let them choose.almost every year they chose and paid.tugas saya pakai.hehe.agaknya mak rasa senang kerja klau i beli yang siap saja.senang kerja semua orang.tp i senang hati with their choices.mak and kakak always choose the best for me.that's for sure=)sebab tu saya takut nak kawen.sebab saya takut suami saya tak boleh keep up dengan apa yang saya dapat dr keluarga saya.but i'm learning not to expect the same as every people has their own standard of what's the best kan?tak semestinya the best tu luxuries.

and talking bout baju raya nie...i remember i nearly give up on thinking what color should this year's baju raya be.so to make life easier,i consulted second opinion from incik ichigo.

me:awak,tahun nie nak pakai baju raya kaler apa eh?
him:up to you la.kaler apa pun ok.saya stick to last year's *raya atas kapal lagi*
me:no..no...i need ur opinion.saya tadak idea nie.
him:serious saya tak kesah kaler apa pun.
me:this is not the matter of kisah or not.this is about me not having any idea on what color shoud it be this year*nada dah bosan nie*i just nak pendapat u je.
him:erm..hijau.
me:eh..cantik ke saya pakai hijau?
him:tu,dalam friendster yang pakai baju kurung hijau tu macam ok je.
me:ok.hijau eh.nanti i beli hijau k.

tapi akhirnya beli ungu.haha.perempuan agaknya memang begini.tanya bagai nak rak.ikutnya tidak.sebab tu la lelaki susah nak bg opinion.

i personally love baju kurung kosong.color if possible bright and sunny.if corak,preferably geometrical with mixed colors.pink always the ideal color.i love flowers but i don't think i look good on baju kurung corak bunga.and beadings always look exclusive to me.cutting pulak,baju kurung pahang is unique but i go for kurung moden sbb my body is kind of shapeless so i need artificial cutting that can do the job.hehe.but baju kurung pesak always the gold standard=) sopan and suits every event..

tak sabar pulak tuggu hari raya.bila tengok orang sekeliling pakai baju kurung dan segak berbaju melayu,ada satu perasaan halus yang hadir.


~tenang~

a quickie.

ok,i ada approximately 10 mins b4 10.50 malam.nothing important.it just that i have to prepare slides for my presentation on thursday.tapi hati nie kuat nak berblog.boleh ke macam tu?apa-apa je lah labu....

today is the second day i'm doing paediatrics.when i went up to the wards,hati kecil i cakap....chummelnya budak-budak nie.w'pun sakit dan merengek-rengek,they are still adorable.macam mana tk cair tgok.hurm...now i want one..or maybe 2 or 3 for myself.huahuahua.bila tgok si kecik tu senyum and waved me goodbye...sayu je nak tinggalkan ward.pernah sekali,i termenangis bila tgok dia senyum dan boleh ketawa tapi dari segi pergerakan,dia hanya mampu golek-golek kiri dan kanan tapi tak boleh meniarap pun walaupun dah 3 tahun.i tahan air mata jgn jatuh sebab i tanak jdi lemah sbb nanti macam mana i nak ubatkan mereka nie.okay-okay tutup cerita.i dah kena amek tisu~sobbing~

i miss mr seaman.sobs.rasa lama tak jumpa.the last time i heard from him,the ship tgh rolling.ni bahasa org kapal kot sbb i honestly have no idea rolling tu apa b4(dlm kepala igt lagu limb bizkit je,huahuahua..rolling rolling rolling).rolling ini adalah keadaan di mana kapal kena goncang dengan big waves.betulke?macam taufan la gitu.dia kata rasa macam naik lif tak stop-stop.or macam kena goncang dalam gelas.ngeri.tambah-tambah bulan posa nie...i rasa kesian la.tsk tsk tsk.dengan peningnya,dengan nak on duty lagi.kalaupun i jauh dr family,i still duduk kat darat yang tanahnya kejap.w'pun tadak bazar ramadhan,masih ada take-aways and fast foods yg halal.ini adalah alasan beliau untuk say NO bila i merengek mahu ikut ke laut nanti.kadang-kadang i rasa terharu how some people work so hard for a living.kalau duty time berbuka/sahur maka makannya pun merata-rata lah.kat enggine room ke...sedeh la dengar camni.hurm...so to entertain him onboard,i selalu update him with the latest EPL punya games.i'm happy when he's happy knowing his fave team has won the matches and after quite sometimes being an unpaid reporter,i'm quite familiar with the players and the club myself(smp berangan nak pi wembley tgok live match,haha)..cuma u jgn lah memadukan i dengan bola u tu ye.i tak sanggup jd the second one.sobs.*nie dah jd entry jiwang karat dan memuji bf sendri,maaf*=)

okielah.puasa baik2 semua.nanti dah nak smpai ke 10 mlm terakhir.jom tingkatkan ibadah,kuatkan iman ok~

missing bag,missing hearts.

salam.

should i say yeaaayyy for being here again?or should i cry?well,i don't think both are appropriate.let's see...erm....firstly i'm grateful to be back safely.

~lega~

honestly,after such long hours,i'm just glad i made it home.

the chronology of quadruple flights.

malaysia airlines:penang-klia
departure:3rd sept 2145hours

emirates:klia-dubai
departure:5th sept 0055hours(delayed to 0200)
arrival:5th sept 0445hrs

emirates:dubai-london(heathrow)
departure:5th sept 0745hrs
arrival:5th sept 1215hrs

aerlingus:london(heathrow)-dublin
departure:5th sept 1550hrs(delayed to 1650hrs)
arrival:5th sept 1730hrs

total journey:23hours and 32mins(not including penang-klia)

total energy consumed:in total exhaustion.

p/s:mst korang pening tgok departure and arrival time tu kan?especially bila tgok bertolak 5sept,sampai pun 5sept.this is due to difference in local time of different countries.london-kl=7hours.dubai-kl=lost count.i think around 4-5..apa-apaun malaysia lae cepat

well,that was 2 days ago.i've already recovered and alhamdulillah no jet lag so far.

tapi cerita ni tak best lah tadak drama kan?when checking-in at klia,i were told that i could check-in my luggage directly to dublin.u see,i booked my flights to heathrow and dublin separately using different airlines and so i don't think this is possible.when the staff confidently told me he can do that,without further thinking i quickly handed in my booking reference of the flight from london to dublin.this is handy as direct check-in means i dont have to collect my bag in heathrow and recheck-in again.time and energy saving.but all the way i had this uneasy feeling about my luggage.when i finally touched down in dublin i quickly go to baggage reclaim and waited anxiously for my bag.it's blue and red in color and weighed 23kg.after waiting for quite sometime,i noticed the no show of the bag.i waited until there's no more beg on the belt and finally accepted the fact that my bag was missing and slowly i walked to the airline baggage counter to make a report.hurm....i didn't feel anything.not panic nor sad.i knew this coming.i somehow knew.at the same time,i were tired and my head was dizzy like hell i've no time to excessively worry about my bag anymore.kat mata nampak katil je.the receptionist will contact me once they trace my beg and send it to me around 8-12am the next day.

the next day:i woke up at half nine.still no news about the missing bag.continued unpacking and tidying up the messy room.the room was not only full of mess but chilly at the same time.i missed malaysia already.at 2pm i called them asking about the whereabouts of my bag.still untraceable.half-an hour late,i sent an email to emirates asking them a favor of locating the bag.~bersungguh-sunggu wa cakap lu sebab terkenangkan kek cokelat sebijik dan segala ketupat segera,perencah knorr secukup rasa dan 12 perencah nasik goreng.now u know lah why my nasik goreng i sedap kan.ahem!at 3pm baru je angkat takbir nak solat,ada call.terus angkat and woOOhoooo,they have found my beg it has safely arrived at dublin airport!yeay!around 8 the delivery man arrived and handed me the bag.siap sms lae after the called me.

from:EI

*-DUBEI23021-
bag01/BLUE-your item has been prepared to be delivered to you.-

::the exact sms i've received::

efficient kan?=)

i rasa dlm drama nie kan..i learnt something tau.masa beg hilang,takde perasaan.sehari selepas tu,i rasa sedeh.pastu mula la macam-macam perasaan lain bercambah.rasa unlucky lah,rasa malang lah.kalau la i bercomunicate dengan org,mst i rasa nak marah je.i trus tak bersemangat nak bgun pagi.masa sahur pg tu,i minum air paip and mkn kueh raya 3-4 bijik sbb tu je yg ada dlm hand-carry i.kettle pulak rosak.last i mkn heavy was in the flight from dubai-heathrow.around berbelas hours before.perut i sensitive.i doaaaaa sgt kat tuhan jgn bg i lapar or sakit perut sbb i mkn tu je for sahur.waktu puasa kat sini longer than malaysia.15jam setengah.bila dah tau beg dah jumpa,i malu sendri.i rasa i overreacted. tgok...tuhan nk duga i.sehari je dia hilangkan beg dah gelabah.tu baru beg.klau menda penting lain..for an instance..passport ke...(nauuzubillah la).lagi haru kan.so especially dalam bulan mulia ni...i dah promise myself nak increase the level of patience in myself.dan tuhan nak tunjukkan dalam apa2 menda pun...kita kena ada sifat kebergantungan kepada Allah yang sgt jitu.i bagi nama Allah high-dependancy unit(AHDU).kalau kat hospital unit nie menakutkan sbb it full of post-operative patients(baru lepas bedah) or org tenat but but not critical enough to be admitted into ICU.tapi kalau AHDU ni selamanya dok dlm nie lae bagus.tapi manusia selalu lupa.senang sket igt diri sendri je.kan?eh mungkin bukan korang,i je nie.
okielah,i rasa mcm ustazah tak bertauliah pulak.hehe

i baru buat grocery shopping and i dah beli 2pieces of salmon fillet and king prawns.ada idea tak nak masak apa?hurm...nampaknya perut nie masih belum bersedia nak terima ayam setelah 2 bulan dimanjakan sangat dengan variety of fish and seafoods.takpa pelan-pelan i cuba.

enuff for now lah ye.i'll write more when i have time and ideas.

till then take care.
muaahhss!

salam.

it's sadden me that the holiday is coming to an end eventually.worse when i'm having super great time fasting and feasting my tummy with malays,indian and chinese delicacies that seriously irresistable.but to tell you the truth,i haven't gone to any bazaar ramadhan yet.ini adalah kejayaan besar okay.i'm truly satisfied with what we had for berbuka so far which was all homecooked!i started to dislike bazar ramadhan since most of the kueh and lauk-pauk weren't as good as they used to be and some were even spoilt or not edible at all.but i do like bazar ramadhan near nilai,N9.they have this super long bazar ramadhan and the foods were marvellous too.it was last year tho.hopefully it stays the same this year.

incik ichigo has reminded me that i only have 4 days left in malaysia.i said 3.i made a mistake by telling him i'll be flying off to dublin on saturday nite but it's actually 5th sept at 0025hrs.so klau ikut bahasa melayu jumaat malam la.haiyark.he's going to anchor at hakata probably on thursday nite and lets hope i'm not on the plane to k.l at that time.

part of me is excited to go back and resume my student life again after such a long break but another part of me dare not to face new challenges in studies as doing paediatric next is far from easy.hurm...whatever it is,i need to prioritize my responsibility and i got to do what i'm suppose to do,aight?

offnote,to hajar,dzariff and liana....thanx for the short and sweet mini-reunion that we had just now.being given the oppurtunity to get to know u all is one of the most wonderful moments in my life.w'pun setelah 12 tahun berlalu,saya still rasa kita adalah kanak-kanak 11 tahun yang suka menyakat dan bertengkar tapi malas membuat homework dan belajar.haha.
