.: As life continues :.

Yes, it is September. 1st day. And it is raining outside. I started writing this entry after Subuh prayer. It’s almost 2 months after my last entry. What I can say is life has been hectic for me for the past 2 months. They were eventful months.

Life has turned 360 degrees for me. I still remember a few months back when i was still struggling to finish my master degree.. And before I realize it, I am now a lecturer..right after I finish my 365-days study leave.

I was too busy adapting at work. Coincidentally, I reported for duty on July 1st and the new semester of this academic year started on July 13th. Perfect timing! Yea, for me to adapt with the teaching environment, to get things ready for the subject I am coordinating before the semester starts etc.

Anyway, as we always realize..time DO flies fast. Today, my students will sit for their mid semester exam. All the best for them (hope they can answer my questions).

This is my last day in KL.

One of my friends once told me.. “You’ll miss KL one day”. Hmm..well, I dunno. I always have this love-hate relationship with the city Kuala Lumpur (no offense ya KL ppl). Maybe I’m not that ‘city girl’ enuf. I love living in KL when I have endless shopping complexes and various boutiques to choose upon. And, not forgetting Isetan with it’s endless sales & promotion. But. I really hate it when I’m stuck in traffic jam and having to pay overpriced parking charges etc (the most i’ve paid for parking at KLCC was RM 20.50…and I felt like crying!) Yeah, we don’t have that in Kuantan / Tganu.

I’m not good in moving places. I mean, when I have to vacant my current residence and settle in a different one. Phew..! It really drains my energy out…esp for people like me, who has tonnes of clothes, handbags and shoes!!

I’m thinking.. whether I need a high dose of caffeine or a SLAP in the face! Reason being.. ngantuk!!

What is happening to me? I take substantial hours of sleep, but still sleepy. My body is aging? I couldn’t deny that, too. I can feel that my metabolism is slower than my youngers years..huhu..

I still have a lot of things to do..I’m at the final part of my master’s program. Have to do major tasks in May..and preparing to submit in June. I only have pieces of them now..here and there. Owh.. Ya Allah.. And it’s May 12th. Only a few weeks before June comes. I’m really behind time.. Isk.. On the contract, my one-year study leave will end soon.. on June 24th, 2009. After that, will start working back.

Ya Allah..please gimme strength and courage..so that I can finish this program.. and after that only I can plan for the next big step in life – kawen start applying to do PhD, maybe.

My final examination starts tomorrow. Hopefully this would be my last examination so that I can complete this MPharm program this June after I complete da short clinical research.

During my revision week, I went to study in IIUM Gombak library for a few times. My sister is also facing her end-of-sem exam. So we studied together.

I have 3 papers:

- Pharmacotherapeutics 2 (Apr 20th; Monday).
- Pharmacotherapeutics 3 (Apr 22nd; Wednesday).
- Pharmacotherapeutics 4 (Apr 24th; Friday).

Please pray for me..

P/S: This entry was scheduled to be published today. I’ve prepared this a few days back..

Finally, I’ve compiled da pics taken during my trip to Spore & Batam (refer to my entry Spore-Batam Trip on March 12th).

Tried to upload them to Facebook album but failed due to unknown reason. This is the sneak peak of the album. Maybe i’ll try to upload them all (100 pics more or less) after i finish my exam.

P/S: Can u see, my writing becomes shorter than usual? This is da style of writing during ‘exam-dah-dekat’ mode. Please bear with me.

Sara is Elina’s daughter. Elina Alias (a.k.a El or L) is one of my best friends during undergrad years. The last time i met her was during our convocation in 2006. And now she’s pregnant with her 2nd baby. I had da chance to meet her yesterday. She’s now working in Kuantan. Great! I’ll be seeing her more after this. Glad to have my friends around..

I wrote the entry Psychiatric on March 24th ’09. This is the second part.

I remember the time when i went to the female psychiatric ward again. Still as cautious as before, I browsed through the patient’s medical records to search for interesting cases. Suddenly, a voice stopped me. There was a chinese patient approaching me, with a magazine in Bahasa Melayu in her hand.

“Bole saya nak tanya sesuatu..?”

I was like.. Damn! Please don’t ask me something I don’t know…

“Apa maksudnya ini.. KALAU TAK DIPECAHKAN RUYUNG, MANAKAN DAPAT SAGUNYA ?”

“Ermm.. maksudnya.. kalau tak berusaha, takkan dapat hasilnya…”

“RUYUNG tu apa? Macam mana bentuknya?”

Owh..No! I’ve never thought of how a RUYUNG would look like.. Image of ruyung has never been stored in my memory.. *sigh*..

I couldn’t remember the ridiculous final answer I gave her. But she replied with a thanks and a smile on her face.

What did I do? I crawled walked out the area, slowly..while hoping that nobody heard that conversation.

I Googled, and finally found how a ruyung looks like from the blog Minda Bahasa.
