.feeling.grey.

salam.

exams coming up.
no reason to stay here long.
pouring out a few words would be good.
especially in the state of mind where i cannot think much.
my crowded brain says i need to stay calm and and quiet for i dunno how long.
as i'm falling deeper into infinite darkness and hardly explained sadness.
please pray for colours to come back and for rainbow to follow the sun.
so the heat and light can bring back the forgotten smiles.

never been happier

salam.
how are u guys getting on with lives?
hari ini i held an open house.basically we people in dublin would organize a small party to celebrate eid every year.inviting some friends over and cook some foods for them.it's a way of celebrating the eid and strengthen the bond called friendship.it's fun once in a while to have a get together like this especially for medical students like us who's life evolves around books most of the time.at least this would open some space for us to socialise and rest our brain from the stress of studying.
around 60 people came and to my surprise,the food wasn't enough.not like last year where there were a lot of left-overs that ended up in the rubbish bin.however today we have to rush cooking more to top up the balance which is obviously not enough for people who present at that time and for those who still searching their way to our house.alhamdulillah..we always ready for plan B just in case we face a situation like this and the xtra food was ready in no time.i believe everyone had a good time including us the hosts.knowing our guests having a few rounds of meals enough to prove that the food was edible if not as tasty as what they eat at home.owh btw,the menu are fried rice with grilled chickens and vege soup and curry mee.the desserts are banana fritters and fruit punch.u guys must be wondering how come we didn't include any ketupat or lemang or any decent raya delicacies in our menu.the reason being, we are kinda bored with ketupat and lemang ang lontong.so we decided to have it a bit different this time.well...as far as i concerned,the guests just loved the food provided.hehe.apa-apapun i hope none of them is having diarrhoea(hish..selalu eja ni btoi,arini konpius lak)or in malay,cirit birit caused by the food.the early birds arrived around 12 and the last guest left around 10pm.in a nutshell,the open house went well although im nearly get heart attacked when seeing the food was depleting very fast before we carried out the plan B.apa-apapun looking forward for next year open house and insyaAllah,the menu will be different.
now is time for personal matter.yesterday after i finished my haematology and immunosupression disease's tutorial,i got a sms from incik syir.he's in Bintulu already.wow,that's fast!usually it took more than 2 weeks b4 i can hear from him again.but this week is not even 2 weeks yet and he's already texting me asking how am i doing.the timing just nice,cos things didn't really going great for me this week and it's nice to have sumbody dear to you asking how's ur life treating u.he anchored last nite and only this morning his ship got offshored.klau ship smp malam,dia kena anchor somewhere dulu,tak boleh tros masuk port sbb less people working at night and not enuff staffs to incharge of the loading of the LNG.so segala proses meloading gas akn dijalankan keesokkan harinya and the next morning juga kapal akn masuk port.berlainan klau kapal smp pagi,dia akn tros masuk port and and the next morning(around 5 dah prepare enggine)the kapal will be onshore again.so this time i have xtra time with him and the precious xtra bit really makes me happy.smp org rumah tanya awat kerap sgt dia call today?hahaha..ermm..i guess he misses me=).you,have a smooth sailing journey.see u when i get to see u.take care of yourself as i always pray for ur safety wherever u may go.
oklah.mata dah mengantuk and i'll continue when i have enough material to write about.till then,take care.

special edition

salam ramadhan kepada semua.

sebenarnya sedih nk ucap salam ramadhan tu sbb the ramadhan is about to leave us soon.beberapa hari je boleh sembahyang terawikh,bersahur dan of course berpuasa.sekejap je rasa.
dah lama blog di tak diupdate.ya,saya agk busy.kelas,tutorial...cukup untuk membuatkan saya malas dan ketiadaan idea.semester ni,w'pun kelas tidak beberapa byk,tetapi kebanyakkan start pada awal pagi.my greatest weakness to wake up early in the morning.huhu.so ptg ini,saya telah menamatkan tutorial yg sepatutnya berlansung esok petang dengan jayanya.ini bermakna esok adalah hari yg akn di look forward=P
bulan ramadhan tahun ini byk membawa makna kepada saya.entah kenapa tetapi saya rasa byk petunjuk yang saya dapat dalam bulan ini.petunjuk kepada persoalan-persoalan yang tiada jawapan sebelum ini,baik tentang hal-hal peribadi mahupun yang general.saya lebih nampak apa yang saya nak dalam kehidupan saya dan juga makna sebenar kenapa saya dihantar ke bumi sejuk beku ini pada usia muda dan menghabiskan saki baki zaman remaja saya di sini.mungkin tuhan mahu saya melihat banyak perkara dari perspektif berbeza,supaya saya tahan dan tabah menghadapi apa saja ujian yang diberikanNya dalam apa jua keadaan sekalipun.kenapa bahasa saya agak puitis?hurrmmm..kerana jiwa saya penuh dengan rasa kecil diri kepadaNya.ya,apabila saya evaluate diri saya,saya akn rasa sayu dan syahdu.huhu.rasa kecil tidak berdaya.
okielah,untuk tidak memanjangkan rasa sedih saya dengan peninggalan ramadhan dan mixed feelings yang tidak sepatutnya di layan,ada beberapa perkara yg membuatkan saya look forward to syawal.Allah dah kurniakan Syawal selepas ramadhan.oleh itu saya patut bersyukur kerana ia adalah petanda kemenangan.tahun ini raya agk special.kami serumah berpakat untuk mmbuat kueh raya.ya,kueh raya buatan sendri.special bukan?so far,3 jenis berjaya disiapkan.biskut makmur(my fave),biskut peanut butter dan biskut coklat.terima kasih aini kerana menjadi ibu kepada kami=)
sekarang juga lagu raya kedengaran di mana2 sahaja.baik stesen radio melayu hatta radio inggeris.bagus bukan.betapa aidilfitri disambut dengan meriah sekali.seronoknya jika dapat beraya di malaysia.ahh..lupakan.3 tahun lae insyaAllah.

yang paling penting,saya berharap syawal kali ini akn mmbawa 1000 kegembiraan buat orang-orang yang saya sayangi.

mak dan bapak:
w'pun saya tiada untuk menyambutnya bersama kalian,kalain tetap di hati saya,pada hari raya,hari esok dan hari-hari mendatang.seribu keampunan saya pinta atas segala keterlanjuran yang saya lakukan di dalam mahupun di luar sedar.kerana kalian saya masih berdiri,masih berlari dan bersemangat menempuh apa saja yang ditakdirkan untuk saya.

kakak-kakak dan abg tercinta:
tiada bandingan kasih sayang kalian semua.maaf atas segala kedegilan,kemalasan saya dan terima kasih kerana sanggup berkorban untuk saya.masih berbekas di hati di mana kalian dipukul atas kesalahan saya.sanggup manjadi pak sanggup kerana takut adik yg kecik menjadi mangsa amarah akibat kesalahan sendiri.dunia saya bercahaya kerana kalian.

anak-anak saudara saya tersayang:
tahun ni lae sekali tak dapat main mercun,pasang pelita sama-sama.study hard and smart kerana perjalanan hidup ini tidak mudah dan memerlukan byk bekalan ilmu dan pengorbanan.salam lebaran anak-anak sedara ku sayang.

syir:
tahun nie sekali lagi kita berhari raya di benua berbeza.percayalah,iA pengorbanan kita ada ganjarannya.kerja baik-baik dan maaf segala kesalahan dan pengucapan yg mengguris hati.

sahabat-sahabat:
maaf diatas segala khilaf.semuga persahabatan kita sampai ke syurga.

salam lebaran dari saya yang jauh di bumi ireland.

welcoming the second half of ramadhan.

salam.

how's life everyone?hopefully all of us is blessed with good health to endure the second half of this holy month of ramadhan.jaga perut,jaga mulut and tak lupa sucikan niat=)insyaAllah byk ganjarannya.

hmmmph....actually i dun have any particular topic to write today.just signed in cos i miss my blog.since i'm here,let's talk bout sumthing yerk...

puasa dan kedatangan Syawal...
it's already 2 weeks we've been fasting.feel like only yesterday i uttered my niat to start fasting.time really flies huh...listening to raya songs that already been playing quite regularly in malaysia's radio stations actually touched me emotionally.it's been 3 years i celebrated eid here.this year going to be my fourth time.sad?missing ketupat?lemang?mercun?erm..no feelings sgt dah about all those stuffs.however,i miss the main events during eid,asking for forgiveness and duit raya from parents,family and relatives.huhuh..still remember everytime raya,usually early in the morning,me and my siblings would line up and usually my eldest sis will lead the way,we asked for forgiveness from our parents and most of the times we cried thinking back of the bad things we've done to them.they too,maybe touched by our sincerity,cried while hugging us.but my mum has this special way of not showing her true feelings.she would laugh once my sis start to apologise.i mean really laughed so that she can supress her automatic reaction to cry together with us.mak mana tak tersentuh kalau anak-anak dia menangis mcm budak kecik mintak ampun dan maaf kan?tapi mak saya mmg terror lah.she did not cry.haha.in twenty years time,i would follow what she does.haha...

the exciting part,DUIT RAYA!!!!
okies,talking about duit raya,i didn't get those for years since i'm here.if kumpul2 rasanya leh beli apa ek....hmmmm..laptop baru kot.hehe.tipulah.usually my dad gave me the most out of all people.still remember when i managed to fast the whole month without any holes.masa tu belom ehem..ehem lae.hihi.earlier, i told my dad if i manage to fast the whole ramadhan,he has to gimme something in return.but he said,it's not right to expect any rewards since i should do it merely for GOD.i took his words without any objection cos i know it is true.to my suprise, on the hari raya,he gave me a green envelope with 6 pieces of red notes inside.i jumped with joy cos that amount was so big at that time and that's the most anyone ever gave me as duit raya.he told me the large amount of money is not a bribe or anything related to make me posa penuh,but it was for the effort i put thruout the whole month.owh..how i missed him.sob..sob..sob...we are not that close to each other as im not his fave daughter(my 2nd sis is his apple),but i think he's getting more and more important now to me.i tend to miss him more each day.sumthing i dun really feel when i was younger.yeah,we always have issues between us back then.apa-apapun,masa raya i'm definately going to call them and wish them 'selamat hari raya and maaf zahir batin',the precious few words that is so significant and meaningful once a year.must not forget!

the jiwang but not so jiwang part...
it's been nearly 2 weeks i didn't hear from my seaman,fyi,it's normal for us not keeping in touch with each other up to 2 weeks.no sms,phone calls,emails whatsoever.nothing.so to u guys out there who have full access and limitless time to communicate with ur loved ones(could be ur bf,family,friends),do appreciate it.i'm not sad neither regret any bits of this.this is what i chose.i'm just thinking how was his ramadhan so far.fasting onboard is definately different.seronokkah berbuka?cukup tak makan?bagun sahur ke?am i thinking too much,worrying for no reason?doa saya,tak kira di mana saja dia berada,Allh akn lebarkan peliharaanNya kepada dia dan hopefully u are stronger under any circumstances.

okie,that's all for now.i have some reading materials to finish off.
see u guys soon.
