You will be seeing more of this in the next 3 years.

Introduction to Clinic

2011-09-05T19:19:00.020+08:00

One of my juniors back in Jengka told me that he's afraid yet excited to the fact that he'll be joining the faculty for this upcoming semester. Yeay! I'll be seeing familiar face again. But both of us might not bump into each other unless he comes to the clinic building.

Being a student, not particularly in dentistry, ones have to prepare him/herself mentally and physically. As for my course, we have lack of holidays. When most of students are officially a certified lazy bum during these 4 months of holiday, we have a month of Introduction to Clinic(ITC).

See. Our Dean loves of too much that he cant bare to miss us for 4 months. Such a thoughtful papa -.-"

Basically, as a 'freshie', we were introduced to the clinical-related stuff. We were beyond excited coz finally the time has arrived when we finally get to touch, feel and do it first-hand.

I'm lucky to have Afiq as my super nice-annoying-sporting-patient buddy and he was actaually my first unregistered patient! Hahaha. Doing real human with those soft tissue and bleeding are definitely different from doing that feeling-less dummy during pre-clinical years.

It was too surreal that my hands were trembling for a good 1 minute and calm soon after. And I heard myself shouting when Afiq's gum started to bled. It was a minor bleeding, dont worry.

And the faculty ended the ITC with a classic ceremony called 'gowning ceremony'.

#2 Tioman Island

2011-07-23T10:00:00.009+08:00

So tioman island...at last. A post on the trip. For the record, I've been to Batu Malang, Seafan Canyon, Soyah, Chebeh and the best dive site I've ever been to...Tiger Reef.

All pictures were taken by our dive master, Mazlan. Diving with the best dive master, a great underwater photographer and the most breathtaking and challenging dive site Tiger Reef, I could never ask for more.

So here are some pictures in random orders.

2011-07-03T19:52:00.005+08:00

I'll pass on the tioman post because most of the pictures of us girls are just...err exposed. But all in all, it was one of the best vacation i've ever had. Oh make it double coz i went there twice! yes, you read me. Twice, darling. Two times in two consecutive weeks. Sorry perhentian and cang, tioman won! Big time.

Many things happened there. What happened in Salang, Tioman stays in Salang, Tioman.

I learn about life from real people, experience and diving.

It was amazing fun just being around each other especially jannah, reminiscing on everything- our best and worst times although only yaya and I went for diving.

Time has its way of passing you by without you realizing it.

Dear Jannah,

I'm still registering in my head that u will be working(practical, whatever) tomorrow. I mean, it felt like just yesterday we cried for getting an A- for Biology, and the next thing I know is that you're working.

And last week we laughed so hard taking silly pictures and tomorrow, you'll be dressed in working attire! May god bless you, young lady.

hahahaha.kill me now

But no worries, your rumah sewa is just 5 mins away from my cheras house. I'll be buzzing your house every 5 mins. We might have a sleepover there. You, me in our pyjamas.

Ryhaan, can u buy for me as a surprise? Its only like USD 140 for you but it costs me MYR 430++ for it, you see.

#1 tioman island

2011-06-14T11:43:00.002+08:00

Going to Tioman Island tomorrow today.
My fingers are faster than my brian when jannah texted me yesteday.
I said immediately before asking the parents.
Bad bad bad.

Now where are all my beachwears?

#3 roadtrip

2011-06-11T21:08:00.036+08:00

From calm and peaceful Perlis, we headed to busy city of Thailand.

Together with our neighbour...and their 5 kids....all boys.

Since we were on a roadtrip to Thailand from Perlis, the nearest city from the border would be Hadyai and Songkhla.

You can drive up to Bangkok which is in the central of the country as long as you declare your car to the immigration and purchase car insurance. Less than RM20 for one week, I think.

Songkhla

We went to the infamous beach in Songkhla, Samila Beach and made a stop at the most outstanding symbol of Samila Beach which is the Golden Mermaid Statue.

Night hawkers

We chose to stay in the middle of the busy city of Hadyai. By night, there will be pasar malam where they sell souvenirs like t-shirt and crafts and food. A lot of shops offer thai massage too.

I'm not into food.

Just realized that this is the only photo of taken out of 1000++ pictures.

The city, Hadyai

I got a lil bored.

So i sneaked into a salon and went out with painted nails

that matched my top and LC.

I felt sooooo creative. hahahaha

We took local public transport to Chekkar for lunch.

It is normal for locals to just stand at the back.

So we tried.

But the driver looked at the rearview mirror every 5 seconds

to make sure we were still there.

Temple

Sorry i cant remember the name of this temple

Thank you Thailand. See you in August. Bangkok baby!

#2 roadtrip

2011-06-10T01:04:00.028+08:00

I have a working parents. So every time we are on a school holiday, they'll be working leaving us bored like hell in the house. After reaching this adult phase, I decided to travel with friends. Of course you still need your parents for money and prepare answers for "who else is going?", "where are you going to stay?" and all other sorts of questions and to hear "you are there to study, not to go here la there la", "you're a student. why cant you wait till you earn your own money and travel"

There are few places i went for the first time with friends like Taman Negara, Johor,diving at Perhentian Island, Broga Hills, indonesia etc. Great friends with great memories.

Then they are a lil bit jealous looking at the photos and took a good 5 days leave to bring us to Thailand.

At first, I was hesitated to join the trip coz I'm going to Thailand this august which is just 2 months away. Thought of saving the fun for the next trip but I just can't say NO when they said "so now friends are more important than your family?" hands down -.-

What makes this trip special is that we went for a roadtrip up to the north. It was fun but tiring at the same time as we were on the road most of time. Selangor-Penang-Perlis-Thailand-Kedah-Selangor.

I shall name this roadtrip "Discover the North of Peninsular"

"Departure"

Comfort is the key word when you'll be stranded for more than 4 hours in a car.
Loose top is what you need.

one thing about roadtrip is that you can stop by at any R&R
and spend money on unnecessary things.
I mean, there's a water bottle in the car, yet you buy another one :s

Penang
We made a quick stop at Penang for Nasi Kandar Line Clear. My mom is craving for it and willing to face the traffic congestion just for one plate. I dont mind either because I just love Penang. City of love. Thanks to Garmin.

on the Penang Bridge

I strongly suggest they change the name from Line Clear to Line Up.

we got bored from lining up. so we took pictures on every possible things on the road side.

Perlis
I know Perlis is a tiny dot by looking at Malaysia's map. But I don't know that it's too small that you can go to all places in Perlis within a day. Yes, its that small. It was very quiet and calm there. Lots of sawah padi. Major love! It was the first time in my life being at sawah padi.

I kept mistakenly said "oh my god cantiknya padang sawah" hahahaha.

simply beautiful. god's creation

the only hotel we found in Arau.

we managed to attend our neighbour's brother's wedding.
Pheww all the way man.
what's with the peace, annoying young man?

Im not sure whether this is a lake or a dam

Padang Besar for jersey hunting

My purchase of the day. Limau Bali. I'm one happy kid.
Oh btw, the plastic bag says 'Rich Everyday'.
Though it is hilarious, I think its like a prayer for them every time
we say 'rich everyday, rich everyday'

We visited few places in Arau, Perlis. The city is so peaceful.
I doubt they know what traffic jam is.

Istana Arau Perlis

Stesen Kerata Api

It happened that this train was on its way to Hadyai.
I felt like jumping in straight away

just got back from a great roadtrip. will blog about it soon.

2011-06-03T02:00:00.000+08:00

Time flies so fast. Its been almost 2 years since nan's father passed away. Since that, I see a different person in him. He became more matured, wiser and stronger although there were few times he broke down and cried whenever he talked about his dad.

And soon, he will enter a new phase in his life. He was offered a job in johor that requires 3 months of training. Its different this time because no one will send him there. He has to take a bus. He can't hold back the tears when he said "kalau ba ada, mesti dia yang hantar saya."

I know Ba is looking from above and smiling. He must be so proud of you. So am I.

We've grown up together. I know you well. I've seen you cry. I've seen you smile. You're entering a bigger world and I know you're stronger that who you used to be. My prayers will always be with you.

May god bless you. Amin.

2011-05-23T15:39:00.002+08:00

that's what i'll be doing this holiday. stocking up the folder with the latest episodes. gosh, its a sin to miss any of 'em.

broga hill

2011-05-20T13:58:00.009+08:00

Jannah and me, we've come a long,long way together. we're the thank-god-i-found-you kind of friends while we were in jengka and realized that we need each other up till now. She has seen the best, the worst and is very very loyal.

We graduated with flying colors during diploma and decided to take our own path in pursuing degree. Bot of us got forensic in the first place. She was very happy as it was her first choice. So I told her, 'there can be only one best student in forensic no?So I have to leave you and choose dentistry.But make sure you're the best' hahaha. The truth is, I can't stand chemistry! and she's indeed the best student in the course. *bows*

One thing about growing up...you have less time for friends.

I haven't seen her in sooo long.She's busy, I'm busy. I'm busy, she's free. She's free, I'm having my pro exam. I'm free, she's in the exam hall. sigh.

Finally, when both of us are on holiday(she's in her final sem, practical!), we planned for random activities. Not that sleepover, shopping, spa session girly kinda thing. But the extreme one, you know... activity!

So i told her...I know you have a new set of bff whom you go picnic, mandi sungai and masak-masak. I never knew you like these kind of activities. hahahaha. So anyway, have you heard of broga hill? wanna go there? Don't expect me to ajak you mandi sungai or masak-masak.

And she replied...I never knew you like i-city either. hahaha. I don't mind spending time with you syg.

So off we went to broga hill around 5am last wednesday for a breathtaking sunrise experience. Brought along marcaroni that we cooked earlier at her house, chips, drinks, chocolates and sandwiches.

Whitewater rafting is up next! cant wait

jonker street

2011-05-20T12:57:00.004+08:00

I'm pretty occupied since holiday started. Right after the exam, I found myself at Malacca, one of my favourite states in the country. I've been here for countless of time. All roads, exits and corners are just at the tip of my fingers. Ceh. I love the place, old classic buildings and foods!

We went there to have good ikan bakar for my grandma's birthday. Yes, literally. And to have the smell of the city and jonker street.

But malacca is getting crowded nowadays. They should make the area of Bandar Hilir where all those A'famosa, Jonker Street, The Stadthuys located as a pedestrian zone.

jonker street to buy Charlie Cham's signature t-shirt. A must-have.

the only pit stop we made was menara taming sari. Panas!

susu says HELLO!

We have to love all that our country has to offer.

out and wild

2011-05-19T22:20:00.009+08:00

I'm happy to say that I'm on long holiday. After like what..a year? And what makes this holiday more meaningful is that I passed both pro exams yo! No, no grades yet. Its either you passed,failed,viva distinction/border line. Although my parents demand to know the grade because for them, its impossible I passed an exam without knowing the grade. But that's how it goes. Even I dont have the answer.

I finished both pro-s on friday and results were released on the next monday. I was in disbelief when I got an early call from ain said that all of us passed the exams. Alhamdullillah. It felt so surreal!

Hey, I survived! can you believe it? Even I can't. I feel like sharing it with the whole universe(that's what i'm doing).

I know that I'm a last minute person. And it's impossible to revise everything within one month. What more when the lecturers(especially those Malaysian, i dont get it) keep their mouth shut. No hints, nothing.

So i decided to change the way I used to study.

I joined a study group with puspa, ain, kila and hanna. 5 of us went all the way from high to low. I spent 3 weeks at puspa/ain's room. Slept, ate and studied there.We prepared notes based on the divided topics and discussed. It was fun playing with mind maps and colors. Trust me, they work! Your brain captures images better than words.

I realized that I took the first 2 years for granted and I really have to struggle for that one month. I have no choice but to force myself to study hard or I'll screw up. I was like a sponge ready to absorb as much as I can.! Look how motivated I was. hahahah.

I'm glad that I chose dentistry over medicine. I've been saying this over and over again. And I'm ready for clinical year and more years to come!

all i can say, sky is the limit.

driving force

2011-05-11T23:29:00.007+08:00

i cant believe my body and mind are still working even with 1-3 hours of sleep

this is soo not me

i sleep like a baby, most of the time

-talking about driving force-

. euphoria state of mind .

on track

2011-05-05T02:03:00.005+08:00

Pro exams are in a few days. books and notes are scattered all around. dental. medical. questions. why on earth do we have to know all diseases like hodgkin lympoma and multiple myeloma anyway? and cholestrol and ketone bodies? blergh leave it to medical students. seriously, its not funny -.-

Exams start on 9th untill 13th.

Oh im in love with neyo(note: not the singer fyi). tapi cepat sangat haus.

Going to uitm to do student/matric card. it went missing last year. i went to class without id card for a year! just imagine how many surat saman i'll get if i were still in jengka.

whitey

2011-04-28T11:23:00.008+08:00

Something excites me more than books today. That something is way better than pre-professional just now.

"kalau sayang benda tu, lepas kan"

"ada benda lagi baik menunggu"

And that is what I'm going to do this evening.

To whitey,

Thank you for the memories. 3 years. 6/7/2008 - 28/4/2011. North-south. West-cost. We've been there. Safe and sound. It's time to let you go. Some people recognizes me from afar because of your gorgeousness. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart !_!

To you,

For the time being, lets just call you ne-yo. Lets have an instant relationship!

Time to clear you up, whitey!

2011-04-08T19:36:00.003+08:00

im coming home.

*one week in shah alam. home sick*

medical playground

2011-03-26T14:04:00.007+08:00

Another 2 weeks of Central Nervous System module(which apparently is the toughest) and we'll be having 4 weeks of study break. Initially we were given only 2 weeks to study for 2 pro exams but after taking into considerations that we might get brain tumor, the gave us 4 weeks instead.

No more medical subjects after this. Phewww.

I have so many pictures of me sitting on the table. Is it me who love sitting on it or its the people who loves to take my picture when I'm on it? Hahaha

When I feel like dressing up to class, I'll wear something like this.

And this is when I certainly don't care about my appearance. My hair was all over the place. Grey kurung and red longchamp are 'definitely' a great combination.

Last thursday was our last anatomy lecture and practical. It was also our last lab with all those cannibals and models of organs in human. We turned the lab into a playground. And we played around and took some pictures after the session ended. Only pictures with model yeah? Pictures with cannibals might give you nightmares.

I trimmed my hair and eyebrows. Its been a while since I had my own ME time.

my 8am face

Honestly, we played during Dr Wai Wai Kyi's lecture. Not after the session ended -.-"

till then, xoxo.

team building

2011-03-20T16:59:00.007+08:00

Last weekend has got to be one of the craziest weekeneds I've had. These days, everyday is a crazy day. Even my classmates have gone crazy by putting up days-to-go to professional exam reminder on the white board. So high school, I know.

The faculty organized a team building camping at Kela Adventure Camp, Raub Pahang. A fun one, I must say. It was a great activity where all students from year 1 till year 5 were involved. This is the first year activity with year 1 babies. 5 years ago, we started with 30 students. And now, the number has increased to 173 students. I'm so proud to be in this small faculty where we have a very strong bond. Be it with students, staffs and even the dean. And we'll be witnessing the first batch of Uitm dentist this year. Best of luck to all year 5 students.

I'm used to camping during diploma days and been to Taman Negara once. So I'm good when it comes to packing up and I know the best shoes to wear for camping. Do not bring your Nike Adidas sport shoes cause they are all designed for running. Came across the word "running shoes" before? Expect lots of water-y and muddy activities. So the cheaper the better so that you don't hesitate to throw them after the camping. Hahaha. As for me, my Everlast shoes is a great company.

If I were to choose between camping and beach, I'd choose beach, definitely. But that doesn't mean I don't involve with the activities. But I'm fussy when it comes to food. In traveling, I'm not the kind of person who wants to try their traditional food and whatnot. Thank you to McD for keeping me alive. Hehehe. So during this camp, I forced myself to swallow the food provided for energy sake. Luckily, the food were not that bad.

And I wasn't in a good mood coz it was raining most of the time. Day and night. Imagine this, just when I tried to walk politely in front of the dean, I stepped into a pool of mud. Nice one. Hahaha. Some of them felt on the ground coz it was soo slippery. So kesian okay though I laughed. Hahahaha.

sexcited

It looked scary and it was scary! No safety but heck, they live with it. So no safe-or-not question there.

all of us. Looks like one batch for other faculty, no?

big boss

2011-02-23T00:35:00.005+08:00

In dental faculty, we students have a close relationship with lecturers including The Dean. Yes, the big boss. He involves in almost everything and he definitely knows what's going on amongst us.

So, few weeks ago, my group had a PBL(program based learning) sessions with him. After 2 hours of brainstorming on what are the ideal properties of a denture yada yada yada*yawn*, we came out with some good questions for him.

me : Prof, could we get extra study leave this sem? Since you know, we have 2 professional exams and 2 weeks is definitely not enough. Just look at what happened to our result last sem.

The rest couldn't agree more and we were putting on the boldest face we could assume just like puss in boots in Shrek the movie.

the dean : Oh you need more? That means you'll have shorter holiday. Are you okay with that?

us : Yeah we're fineee with that. *with our big round eyes*

the dean : But you do know that you will not be having 4 months break like other faculties, don't you?

us : What??? We thought it's standardized! No exception right? Mana boleh macam ni prof *looking each other with opened mouth *

the dean : yeah but what would you do in that 4 months?

us : Rest la prof. We need rest. Oh we sooo need that. Or work. Yes work to earn some money. Or go on a vacation. See, we can do lots of things.

the dean : Rest? You don't need 4 months to rest. You'll lose your touch by then. Work? You guys can work in the clinic. A lot of work waiting for you in clinical years. You're hired automatically. Your new semester starts July like usual.

and the rest of us left with this expression -.-

Yeah, he's the big boss. *bows to the great*

even if it's too bright to sleep

2011-02-16T19:44:00.004+08:00

You know that you're enjoying your holiday when you sleep with your eye mask because it's too bright to be sleeping in the afternoon.

random

2011-02-04T18:36:00.002+08:00

Yes it's true when people say you often write when you're in the midst of doing something, not when you're free. Because that would be the time when many thoughts linger in your mind and you have no one to talk to but this screen. That's when you type and type and type without even pausing.

Can't believe that I have another 3 years to go. Time flies so fast and I didn't realize that my brain cells have absorbed nothing but dentistry for the past 2 years. Many things learnt throughout the journey. Not just academic stuff but also about life. How I see things and handle them.

Studying about teeth and health related is the last thing I would tell a person whom I just met because the moment I tell them I'm a dental student, they will keep shut. Afraid that I might look into their mouth and comment on their teeth, I guess. Though it's a bad habit, but I tend to look at their teeth while they're talking. Hahaha. Bad bad habit.

I'm lucky to have my loved ones and friends who pull my back when I feel like I'm gonna lose myself out there. It's good to see them and talk about something else, something random and I can be myself.

But I hate it when they say they're graduating soon and even invite me to their graduation day! grrr. Dude, I have another 3 freaking years and god knows who will show up when my time comes coz they might be at home babysit their kids. hahahaha.

Study mode strikes, hence no picture.

prostho no no

2011-02-03T00:12:00.001+08:00

I'm in my unmanageable state for the past 4 weeks. Currently, we're at prosthodontic module. Denture or gigi palsu lah senang cerita. To tell you the truth, this module is not meant for me. Me and denture can't work together.

I'm used to working hours. Well, not that 8am-5pm but 8am-7pm! Stayed in the lab to complete the denture process. I'm half dead by the time I reached home and confused to choose between sleep and study. Sleep wins most of the time. I mean, all the time. Hehehe.

This week is the study week for our mid semester exam for both endo and prostho module followed by exam next week and one week of holiday on the week after. Finally!

Just the right time to get back on track.

just for memories sake

2011-01-21T01:00:00.000+08:00

since i'm super late in updating about this trip, i'll just upload these picture for memories sake.

Second day in Singapore was spent in Universal Studios Singapore in Sentosa Island.

Tip #4 : USS opens around 10am. Make sure you come early so that you can spend some time taking pictures in front of the USS globe before queuing. Expect long 'q' during school holidays.

Tip #5 : There's an additional spectacular fireworks show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for free. So basically, you can stay in there till 9pm.

oh that's not our bag, btw.

xoxo

Singapore #1

2010-12-24T22:00:00.001+08:00

Can't believe that I'm actually writing about this trip. It's almost impossible to find time for this.

Well, Singapore. We went there for a 3D2N trip. It was supposed to be a free and easy trip but we made it a hectic and am-pm trip one. God knows how many calories were burnt. We managed to 'explore' all places in just 3 days. Unless if you include museum into it. I mean, you do know that Singapore used to be part of Malaysia, don't you? So you can scratch out museum in your plan.

Tip #1 : Plan your journey. Which is first and which is later. Have a map with you all the time.

Upon arrival

I was the map reader during the trip. A pretty good one, I must say.

Upon arrival, we went straight to Little India which was 10 minutes of walking from our hotel.

Mustaffa Center, a great place to buy perfumes.

Hugry faces

Little India Arcade

Hand-made souvenirs

After check-in, we went to the famous Orchard Road. My oh my, that place is crazy! Endless shopping malls. From high end stores to sg. wang standard stores, you name it.

Tip #2 : Do not bring extra bags and shoes/flops from here. Charles and Keith is everywhere! They dominate every malls. You'll go crazy, or at least we went crazy! Boys, ignore this tips. haha

MRT

Tip # 3 : If you go there with more than 2 person, I suggest you to take cab. Easier and faster.

Next post on Universal Studios Singapore!

up next

2010-12-12T20:25:00.001+08:00

will write posts on Singapore trip before i lost my memory.

car kissing

2010-12-11T15:37:00.005+08:00

I couldn't believe that I've been driving ttdi-uitm-ttdi back and forth every single day for the past one and a half year. Out of the house as early as 7.15 am and reach there just at time for my 8am class.

Traffic congestion is not a big deal. But finding a ONE parking space in the campus is a big problem. I rephrase, a huge problem.

Uitm is trying as hard as they can to stop student from driving to class due to bad traffic jam especially at peak hours. In order for them to stop us, they put parking barrier at all parking areas which only allow staff to park and thousands of students are left with no space to park.

With very limited available parking lot for students, everyone is fighting for one freaking space. Some of them come very early just to get the best spot and sleep in the car while waiting for their class. Yes, it sounds crazy. Luckily, my class starts at 8am while others at 8.30am.

Double parking is normal. Just imagine when your car is parked nicely in the parking lot and theres this car blocked yours and the owner finished class at 5pm. What would you do then?

Whether you like it or not, you have to push the car in order for you to go out. I'm not talking about pushing one car, its actually ONE line of cars. Now I know where my biceps come from. Haha

To worsen the situation, you have to have at least two person to do it. One to push the car and one to stop the car because there are times when you push it too hard, it won't stop and hit the car behind/in front and hit another car and another car...like a domino. All are kissed back to back. Too much love there.

Look at pictures below. My whitey (white kenari) was blocked by a line of domino cars. Obviously I can't push them alone. All are kissed back to back and pushing one car is like pushing one line of cars.

muah!

Driving a bigger car than myvi is like commiting suicide unless your dad is a millionaire to fix your car each time it got crashed.

positive vibes

2010-11-24T19:18:00.005+08:00

Classes starts next week. Monday to be exact. Surprisingly, I'm not grumpy at all thinking that I have only 2 weeks of break this time. Maybe, I'm used to it and part of me is excited to go to class and clinic.

I've been on "unexpected occupied" mode throughout the holiday. I rarely at home. The "real" holiday is wake up in the afternoon after 12 hours of sleep, shower only when I'm going out, home-cooked food, a laptop and wifi. Rather than driving, traffic jam, walking under scorching hot sun one minute and rain cats and dogs the other minute.

To end this holiday, I'm going for a vacation to Singapore. Super excited. I need positive vibes to start that one endless semester filled with classes and clinics.

Will update you guys soon!

new look

2010-11-16T13:12:00.004+08:00

Project Love has a new look! After days and series of discussions with the web designer, finally it's become a reality. We're so excited about it. Thank you for all those positive comments received.

Hope you guys l.o.v.e it!

short holiday

2010-11-12T11:10:00.003+08:00

My 2 weeks of holiday start today. Making a list of what to do. sigh. So many things to do in this short time. I'm gonna have a long sleep every night and my phone's alarm clock is also on holiday for 2 weeks.

Oh time to focus on PL !

common cold

2010-11-10T14:29:00.002+08:00

" stress can cause our body's immune system to decrease "

That is what happens to me! Cough, flu, headache, fever etc are lining up taking their turn to attack my body. Cough won the race followed by flu, the first runner-up and now fever. I hate to have these symptoms during exam weeks especially in the exam hall. Poor people who is seating near me.

I know how would they feel because I get so irritated when someone is coughing non-stop or when she/he is having a running nose. I guess most of the time my mind was thinking on how to stop her which seems impossible rather than thinking of the answer. Bad, I know. I get easily distracted.

Just hope it'll get better tomorrow. I'll be having a long day tomorrow. 3 sections cramp up in one day. Essay, BAQ and OSPE.

positivism

2010-11-03T11:27:00.002+08:00

Just finished reading Sophia Kinsella's Can You Keep a Secret novel. If I'm allowed to name one thing that stop me from studying, it would definitely because of this book. I'm hooked with it and can't stop until I reach the last page.

And now that I finished it, I have no other reason to not study.

3 basic medical modules and 1 dental module. Crap. I'm messing things up. 5 days is obviously not enough. So I have to think of a smarter way. I text a few girls and boys from my class and tell them to give me hints on any possible question. Especially essay question.

That's the best move I could think of other than sneak in into my lecturer's room, steal the question paper and sell them to my classmates :D

When it comes to studying, part of me is missing Jengka. A nice and peaceful place to study. But it is also a place where you can find high school drama with immature people.

It is real that university is just school with more expensive books.

lets read

2010-10-28T20:00:00.002+08:00

I used to read novels back in high school. Be it in english or malay. For english novel, I found it really helpful in improving my language, vocab and whatnot. Of course communicating in that language also helps. Not a problem there because I studied in a school with a multiracial students. We use english in dialy basis.

Then comes university life where it is 100% malays and bumiputera. A place that make you look like an alien if you talk in english. People will look at you like you're from the Pluto. Sad but true. Day by day, I can feel that I'm losing the mojo in writing and practising the language. I can no longer construct a flowery sentence.

Now, I think it's time for me to start reading, again !! Yes you can see my determination with that exclamation mark. haha. Many people tell me that they love Sophia Kinsella's novel. She's the writer of Devil Wears Prada and Confession of a Shopaholic.

As a start, I chose "Can You Keep a Secret?" by the young writer. Read it until chapter 9 already. I love they way she writes and how she puts words into a sentence.

I'm sure I won't stop with only one book. Gonna get other collections later because MPH one utama is having a book fair now. Bought it at 30% off. Great deal.

I know I shouldn't be reading novel when the final exam is just in a week -.-'

books = boring?
lets talk fashion. hehe

It's bright and sun-shining here, Selangor particularly. No idea how it's like in other states. I find that top made with soft chiffon material is the the best choice as it is so comfortable and breezy. I don't sweat much in it.

I love the color combo of my outfit to class today. My dark black hair matches the cardigan. That skinny belt matches my handbag. And my trousers matches my pump heels(not in the picture).

hair products

2010-10-21T00:20:00.004+08:00

I have a natural straight and black colored hair. I straightened my hair when I was in form 2 although it's already straight, curled it up twice when I was in form 3 and 5. Then chopped it off and tried few styles from bob cut to bangs. Now I wanna keep it long and maintain it with once a month treatment.

My hair regime is simple. I don't use conditioner or serum to moisten it. Just shampoo. Very simple.

But my hair fall problem is getting worse as it grows longer! grrr.

I think it's about time to use conditioner and other hair products. Just bought few dove new line hair products. Intense Repair Shampoo, Intense Repair Conditioner, Intense Repair Overnight Treatment and Leave On Cream. Shall try these for few weeks and see the result.

my current obsession is headband

making it work

2010-10-15T16:33:00.003+08:00

Through out this week, I'm amazed on how my brain had finally started to function normally. The next thing I knew, I was on my bed with piles of notes. I mean, on bed studying not sleeping, duhh. Maybe because my brain freaked out about progress test on friday(just now) and finals in 3 weeks time while my body is somewhere in heaven. hehe. It went well. Better that previous tests. I guess to choose between a true or false answer is harder than writing an essay.

Happy holidays to uitm students. In shah alam to be exact. I'm expecting less cars, no traffic jam in the campus, ample parking space so that I dont have to double-park my car or to push dirty cars that block mine, less students fighting over food at the cafe

2 more weeks of classes to go.

more gossip in town

2010-10-08T19:59:00.002+08:00

Did I mention that Gossip Girl is back? With more drama in season 4. Now I'm crawling on my bed while waiting it to be downloaded. grrr.

politeness

2010-10-07T20:20:00.008+08:00

One reason why I love staying in this residential area is because of the people. 70% or the residents are foreigners from different countries who are working in Malaysia. Upstairs mat saleh, downstairs mat saleh, groups of mat salehs on your way to swimming pool, everywhere.

The best thing about them is their politeness toward strangers. Do you say a simple 'hye' or 'morning' to strangers? I bet you don't because we especially girls were raised with the mind set 'do not have any eye contact with strangers. just walk straight. potential flasher is everywhere' hehe.

Unlike them. Just imagine this. You are walking downstairs, and there's this mat saleh greets you 'good morning girl'. One simple greeting can turn your cranky morning mood to a better feeling and you will eventually start your day with a smile. Lovely isn't it?

It seems impossible to apply this within us. There must be hidden intention when a stranger guy smiles towards a girl or the other way round. Three possible scenes that are expected to happen.

1) That girl will spontaneously look behind just to make sure that the guy is smiling to her.
2) That guy will get 'do i know you' look from that girl as she squinches her eyes.
3) The next thing you know, you got smacked in your face by her bf.

This kind of mind set that need to be changed among us.

PL: behind the scene

2010-09-29T19:37:00.010+08:00

Shopping is not something that you do when you're free or under stress. It's a habit. It's like some of us have this habit of biting their nails. You can't stop though you know you're destroying yourself. I can soo relate myself to this.

Now that I prefer wearing trousers and shirt to classes, my biggest spend would definitely be on those items. I'm very particular when it comes to choosing shirts. No thick and stiff cotton, please. I love chiffon and soft cotton materials. The problem is, those materials are expensive!

Luckily I found a way to solve this problem. Not to be greedy, I share with all ladies in this world :)

Project Love (PL) is a small online business by me and my bloodsister, nadi. Looking at all clothes, I can't stop myself from having each and every one of them. A high quality chiffon top at rm50? Thinking back that I bought a similar top at Zara for rm169 made me want to jump from the fifth floor -.-"

Of course there are pros and cons when you purchase online. There is always possibilities that it's not like what it was described, wrong size etc. For PL, we give our utmost priority to quality. All items are hand-picked by us and we make sure that it worth every penny.

For a better satisfaction, we join few bazaars so that all project lovers can have a real look at all clothes and even try them! No harm. We're cool that way :) Anyway,we'll be at I love Bazaar in Subang Parade this coming weekened. And every other weekends too.

Never thought I'm able to juggle two works at a time though Nadi handles the business during weekdays due to my time constraint. I know dentistry and business is two different thing but so far, I'm on track.

But in any ways, you can't avoid shopping mall, can you? They're just irresistible. Though it's just a so called window shopping. Sometimes it's freaky when I say I miss the smell of OU -.-"

one happy girl

baju kurung stories

2010-09-28T20:30:00.009+08:00

When I received the offer to further my study in dentistry, all sorts of thoughts came out. And my biggest issue was the faculty's dressing code. Strictly no jeans and only formal outfit is allowed. Living in malaysia and studying in UiTM, formal dress code means baju kurung. Well at least I'm used to that scenario. Back in jengka, any event under the uni requires students to dress formally; and you will see people coming to the hall wearing baju kurng.

I always have this dream of wearing a set of pencil or high waisted skirt, nice shirt and gorgeous heels to work. That's formal dress code to me. Baju kurung is boring. You're like a walking curtain with the same design top to bottom. Rules remain rules. I wear kurung to classes on Monday and Friday.

Sometimes, I dress something above what the ordinary uitm or shall I say dental students wear. I prefer wearing trousers and shirt or blouse eventhough I have a one month stock of kurung. It is more practical to me compared to kurung as I'll be seating most of the time treating my dummy(and patient in the future). You wouldn't want to be seen 'terkangkang' while treating your patients, would you?

And yes, I wear high heels although uitm's road is soo not high heels friendly. Who wears trousers with pumps or sandals anyway? Of course I get the 'look' from others but as long as I keep my cleavage, belly button and knees at home, there's nothing wrong with it. No one gets heart attack or asthma, so far. Hehe

Even if I were a patient, I'd choose a dentist who wears a tuck in shirt with a pencil skirt/trousers and a pair of heels(fully covered, I know!). How about you?

clinic sessions

2010-09-25T21:37:00.004+08:00

I love saturdays and sundays. I'm exhausted throughout the weekdays with classes, clinic sessions and traffic congestion. Pfft too many cars on the road nowadays.

Clinic sessions for dental meterial & operative ended yesterday. I had 6 weeks of fun doing cavity preparation and filling restoration using different materials; amalgam, composit, GIC etc. After 6 weeks of practical, our skills were tested in competency exam. We were given a task on which site and what type of restoration to do within 3 hours. Luckily it was on lower teeth. Much easier compared to upper.

Endodontic and periodontics module starts next week. A whole lot of excitements await.

Here are some of pictures in UiTM lab during the competency exam.

during the exam

my happy face after the exam. It went well, alhamdulillah.

Dr Nik examined Afiq's cavity prep

our table of four

Me and jannah are annoyed of each others schedule. Whenever I'm free, she's in class and vice versa. And our phone conversation is getting shorter.

Jannah: hello mana?

Me: *whispering* clinic.

Jannah : bye.

Me: bye.hello? akjdhhfs

She hung up before I replied her 'bye'. What a true friend I have -.-"

clinic rules

2010-09-22T23:01:00.003+08:00

Dont look at me like i'm an alien or some creature from Mars just because im the ONLY girl who doesn't wear hijab/scarf. This is some weird scene in my faculty. I'm used to be surrounded with 'free hair' girls all this while.

I just love my hair that I hate to tie them up. Be it in bun or pony tail or any style. But at least i obey the clinic rules. My hair is neatly in place when I'm doing my work. I tie them up. Sometimes I use head band. If lectures and other staffs dont mind, so who do you wanna make a big fuss out of it. Maybe u're jealous or you have some problem with free hair girls and you just have to let it out, otherwise you can go mental.

p/s: Sorry, i just have to let it out, otherwise I can go mental :p

save your hair

2010-08-19T00:28:00.003+08:00

Last month, I went to salon for hair treatment. Usually I went for hair treatment once in a month but due to time constraint, I skipped few months. I was freaking out when my hair started to fall badly since the month of World Cup. Blame those 2.30am matches.

All this while, we've came up with so many theories about hair fall problem. The most common would definitely because of eating instant noodles like Maggie. And the worst is you probably have Leukemia. Okay that's scary, isn't it?

While waiting for my turn, I complained to the hairdresser about my hair fall problem. And he said, all those theories are bullshits. According to him, there are only 2 factors that cause the problem which are probably because of lack of sleep or your hair is too long.

Based on those two causes, I made my own theory. I dont think my hair is too long that my scalp can't hold it in place anymore. So I'm left with 'lack of sleep' theory. And the solution is... I need more hours of sleeping in a day.

Haih. Just like babies. hehehe.

Good night world. Get more sleep and save your hair!

new module

2010-08-18T23:54:00.003+08:00

Dental operative & technology module started last Monday. Hello hair-bun, covered flat pumps 8-5pm straight in the clinic. Goodbye heels and break in between classes.

Basically, each students are given few projects to do. This time we're dealing with the REAL equipments and technology. Except that real human patient is replaced with dummy. My jaw almost dropped when Prof said, each set of table is worth of RM64k.

We are so busy concentrating on our projects that all we say to each other are 'dah siap?' 'ni nak pakai bur apa?' 'tolong nisa letak plaster of paris boleh?' or in worse case, 'lapar gila okay!' hahaha.

I didn't even bother to check my phone! That's weird, at least for me.

Now i get it when they said, only doctors marry doctors. Lets change it, shall we? Kan zahid kan? hahahaha.

Btw, Happy Ramadhan to all muslims.

passion

2010-08-06T19:42:00.010+08:00

I've never worked in my entire life before. I don't know how it feels to work and the satisfaction once you start to earn your own money. People says, you're more greedy with your own money unlike those endless shopping using you parents' or aunty's. Didn't know how far its true until we(me and nadi) started our own blood sisters' business named Project Love.

Initially, it was a more like 'lets have fun ' kinda business but now we realized that this is a serious matter, you know offering nice outfits with the best quality the suits everyone,ladies obviously isn't an easy task.

This is what I called passion. No don't worry, people. Dentistry will forever be my main passion. Money comes after that. Or the other way round? -.-"

I'm enjoying the student life as much as possible. The real world of dentistry comes in the third year onwards where I'll be having pack clinical years from 8am-5pm with patients, hospital trip twice a week and on calls as well. So siapa nak jadi patient I buat scaling, filling and tooth extraction, nanti contact I next year k :)

dont worry. nanti clinical years i sanggul rambut i. hehehe

sparks of asia

2010-08-05T19:34:00.007+08:00

Those pictures explain why I've been abandoning this blog.

Pictures were taken during faculty's annual dinner which was organized by 2nd year dental student. The themed was "Sparks of Asia". The reason why we chose this theme is because we have lecturers form various countries like India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Russia, Pakistan etc. It was like a way to celebrate them and show our appreciation towards them. On that night, guests were required to wear a costume from another country other than their origin country. I wore saree which is the traditional costume from India.

It was a successful night, I must say. Now that everything is over, I can have my beautiful sleep not only at night but in between classes and during classes :D

the preparations...

Believe it or not, I didn't use any pins or needles.
With the correct technique, I managed to 'glued' it throughout the event.

with Puspa (Myanmar) and Ain (pakistan)

when they were crazy with 'who got the most expensive DSLR', I was busy taking pictures with Polaroid camera

Japanese costume by Akila and Dr. Anis

India, Pakistan, Japan and Indonesia

2010-07-21T18:13:00.003+08:00

hello everyone ;)

Dont worry. I'm alright and doing good. A lil bit busy with classes and fac's annual dinner. I had sleepless night for the past 2 weeks. Thank god i did 'okay' for the respiratory progress test. I didnt even realize that I havent met some of my friends this semester until i received sarcastic text messages from them like "hello. dont act as if you're the busiest human alive!" or "don't talk to me until you see me"

Weekdays - Classes. 8am - 5pm. Sometimes meeting untill 6.30pm.
Weekends - Bazzar

Talking bout bazaar, Project Love will be at Metro Point Kajang on 25th july(sunday) and I love Bazaar event at Subang Parade on 31st july - 1st august. See you guys there!

fisrt day

2010-07-06T15:11:00.004+08:00

Everyone has their "first day of class" post. Not to feel left out, I'm writing one too :)

First year students were placed in a super comfortable class. The seats were like the one you sat in Gold Class cinema. You got what i mean right? It was carpeted. You'll feel guilty walking into the class with dirty shoes. We were spoon-fed with lecture notes. I can say that my text books are still in good condition. Hints for possible exam questions were given. Just like babies.

It was like honeymoon for one year. Everything was beautiful and amazing.

Second year, dentistry is not fun anymore.

Our class is a Lecture Hall (dewan kuliah) that can fit 100 students, I think. There are 30 of us. You can imagine how many stair I have to climb just to get to my seat. And walk all the way down if any of my friends call me and climb up again. Everyday.

Starting this year onwards, no lecture notes from lecturer. Not even a piece of paper. Nothing. You're expected to remember as many as your brain can absorb or copy their notes in front as fast as your fingers can go. By the end of the lecture, you can't feel them anymore. They said, this is a way to make sure than we refer to our textbook. Blegh nonsense.

Think about slow leaner student. Its hard for ~~them~~ her to remember everything. She needs something to guide her on which topic to stress on during her last minute revision. What if she feels sleepy and falls asleep? and when her mind is somewhere else? ....Wait, I just described myself. ahahahaha.

back to school

Holiday is coming to its end and waving 'hello' to classes. Honestly i miss classes. I might say this now but when the real scenario comes, it'd be bagging for holiday. Another one year of classes and struggling before i can have my another holiday.

Shaz, if you're reading this, text me. If you dont have my phone number, ask siti or rara or j. Finger crossed that you'll be in the first year. The faculty needs more people like 'us'. You know what i mean. hehe.

I'm loving my cornrows braids. Pictures later.

Believe it or not, up till this second, I still can't check my result(UiTM). I'm stuck at the 'server' stage and I gave up because doesn't matter how many times I click that 'refresh' button, that 'problem loading page' page appears. It's so annoying that I decided to sleep instead of waiting.

Even though it's only for BEL and TITAS subjects, I still need to check my result.

Someone please tell me the easiest way. You know, that 'cheat' or 'hint' button when you play games.

2010-06-10T01:17:00.003+08:00

I'm looking forward for blood donation. It's about time for me to give something back to the community. I could save someone's life by doing so, hearing a small voice whispers to my ears saying "Thank You" while looing at my fresh blood filling the plastic container. Who knows, one day, I'm the one who need it.

Blessed with happy-ness

growing up

2010-06-06T20:25:00.005+08:00

Hello everyone. It feels good to have the time to sit and write again. Checking out favourite blog and news are still my daily routine but the thought of updating makes me yawn and off to bed immediately.

9 years ago when I was 13 years old, all I know was going back to school back and forth every weekdays and I'll only step the shopping mall only with my family because I'm afraid to use the public transport and back then, those komuter, LRT and whatnot weren't the popular choice amongst Malaysians to travel. I prefer sitting in my parents' car instead.

I had my first ever mobile phone when I was in form 2. I bought the sim card for RM20 but now you can get then at as low as RM8.80. I'm not surprised whenever my friends change their phone number everytime they have a new gf/bf. You're going to get answer like 'Oh I've terminated that number. That was when I'm with my ex'. It's so hard to keep in touch with those kind of people.

What happens to young kids nowadays?

I sent my sister and her friends to Sunway Pyramid for one of her friend's birthday celebration. And they will later play ice skating. Now is 9pm and she's not home yet. Things were so different back then. The name of Sunway Pyramid itself is a big thing. And going there with your friends at 13? I'd rather invite them to my house for a tea.

And now she's almost the same size with me, I had to keep all my clothes in a safety box with a security lock to stop her from sending text messages to ask me whether she can borrow them or not. It's not a surprise if you see a picture of her wearing my clothes.

9 years ago, all we know was friendster. The biggest thing ever. At that time. Now, facebook is the craziest thing on earth. Everyone is talking about it even a 13 years old girl. My sister is not excluded. I think if she had to choose between food and facebook, in one second she'll answer 'facebook. duhhh!'

Sigh. Please dont grow up to my size. I love all my clothes.

"I wanna take a picture and upload them in my facebook!"

drug story

2010-05-27T13:23:00.007+08:00

I had a very productive and motivational morning today. Just got back from Hospital Serdang to take nenek's monthly medication. She has high blood pressure, diabetes and you know all sorts of other associated diseases like kidney failure. So expect to get baskets of drugs monthly.

Normally when the pharmacist gives out the drugs, she'll explain to the patient their uses and adverse reactions. She will mention those names one by one and it sounded alien to me. I didn't even bother to hear. Wait, it was back then. Not anymore.

Just now, when she gave me the drugs, my eyes were on the box looking for the drugs' names. Since I've learnt Hemopoietic & lymphatic and Cardiovascular module last semester which were closely related to those diseases that nenek has, most of the time I was...

"uuhh valsartan is for Hypertension"

" Oh Frusemide is something for water retention right? But my lecturer spelled it f-u-r-o-s-e-m-i-d-e"

"Aspirin is anti-platelet drugs. But is has side effect on our GIT"

"Yea I know Isosorbide dinitrate is for heart"

Suddenly, my brain was working like how it should be and I can actually remember things. During final weeks, I was nagging all the time saying that I have Alzheimer because I couldn't remember anything from previous lectures. I guess God showed me the truth facts just. haha

I felt like i was part of this medicine world for a second :)

PL vol 2

2010-05-25T00:38:00.004+08:00

Do visit Project Love. They have added new items and enlarged the displayed pictures for better view.

I just can't resist myself from buying some due to many reasons. Firstly, those items are soo cheap. Most of them are under RM50. I mean, where you can get such quality clothes similar to other branded boutiques in Pavillion, One Utama, Sunway Pyramid etc? And compared to other blogshop, their prices are still considered affordable. Most of the items are imported, so they came in limited pieces, size and colors. Definitely you can't find hundreds of your twins on the street wearing the same clothes as you.

If you're looking for some casual yet stylish daily clothes, or maybe a present for your(guys) girlfriend, this blogshop offers you a good choice and definitely not outdated.

getting organized

2010-05-24T13:22:00.006+08:00

Good monday everyone. I thought holidays will give me more time to update this blog and getting my life organized, but I'm absolutely wrong man! I was everywhere most of the time, 'entertaining' family and friends. Although everyone was told that I'm free until end of June, but I still get surprised faces when I'm still here in Kajang.

Holiday has been great. So far. Get my eyebrows done. More time to embrace the feeling of having long hair by doing experiments to it. Sleep as long as I want, being a good sister by visiting his brother at the ns camp during weekends etc.

Sorry for the prisoner background picture. Probably they were too excited to get cigarettes from my brother. Guess who brought it in? heh.

My brother is labeled as 'anak manja' by his friends because we visited him almost every week! You can't run away from your annoying sisters, can you? Boo.

I need a vacation. Going somewhere by KTMB train is on top of my do-or-die list. Even if it's only one station after KL Sentral.

helping

2010-05-21T14:05:00.003+08:00

Today is Friday. Its been a week since my holiday started. Usually, I woke up in grumpy swing mood realizing that my holiday is coming to its ends. Surprisingly, it did not happen to me today! I woke up with a smile and planned what to do for this weekend. Somehow, I forgot what it is like to be in a holiday.

But I still go to UiTM back and forth this week due to some works for our annual dinner next semester. I'm the treasurer for this project. Yes, I call it a project because the total amount of money that we need to collect is huge. Who wants to throw 26k infront of you face? This is a very special dinner as this would be the last dinner for the 5th year students, the first batch of dental graduates from UiTM. I can't wait for the historical and memorable moment.

I hope everything can be sorted out by next week so that all i have to do by next semester is to collect money from everyone and ready for questions from unsatisfied students who claim that rm60 is like rm6,000 for them forgetting that they receive rm6,000 form JPA every January and June.

Going back and forth also means that i have to drive from either TTDI or Kajang everyday to Shah Alam. Not like I'm not used to it. Sometimes, being a non-resident or outsider in a batch that 99.99% of them are staying at the college can be a nightmare, especially during exam week.

Its hard for you to keep up with the updated hints that spread faster than a virus. Even your close friends 'forget' to update you and leave you clueless on the exam day when others went out the hall with a big smile because they already knew the questions! And all sorts of lame answers came out from their mouth like 'oh i thought you got the text message'. Well, that happened to me in the first semester.

I learnt my lesson for the second semester. Don't expect people to tell you. You have to find it for your own sake. I prefer firsthand information rather than ask someone through phone calls or text messages. And i would ask 4 to 5 different person so that I can collect as many hints as possible because sometimes the first person might missed out some points. So you have the second, third and the rest to give you the complete clue.

Always try to improve yourself and help others because they'll help you in return. I believe in that.

exam stress

2010-05-17T16:46:00.007+08:00

After months of hectic student life, I finally had a laid back weekend with family. I treasured all the memories of being an average student in a faculty that demands you to be prepared all the time. For instance, during Pathology class, when the lecturer asks you a question, she expects you to answer the situation from its normal state until it is infected. Where? When? You know, all sorts of 5W questions.

I know most of you are going through hard times during final exam month. Our social time have been reduced to going to the library and memorizing words that i doubt we'll remember for the next 5 years. What is the relationship between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Dentistry again?

Well that's not entirely true for me. I never believed in studying day and night day and night like there's no tomorrow. For those who noticed me during my diploma days, you'll see my face at the library everyday and you'll see my face at the cafe and lecturers' block too. I've never been able to sit in the library for the whole day. Usually after 3 hours of studying, I'll start to annoy Jannah and Nan by purposely asking them whether they are hungry or not and hoping that the answer would be a "Yes!"

Exams are important but this doesn't mean putting our life on hold. There's no point stressing out about exams. Eat, sleep and live life like a normal people. P/s: "You can be more brilliant than yesterday by stop eating Maggi today". Stop believe that! How I wish its true.

Everybody has her own ways to study. Do not compare yourself with others and stay focus with what you are reading. Don't get panic when you hear your friends are discussing the topic that you haven't read. It happens to me sometime. Discussing is not a good choice when you have no idea at all about the topic. So what I did was, I isolated myself 2 to 3 days before the exam just to get myself prepared.

Hints and past years question are important too. Make sure you get yourself updated with all the hints given by your lecturers because sometimes they don't give it straight to your face. So, jot down every words that came out from their mouths one week before the paper. Trust me.

Whether you love it or not, finish up all the lectures and dont miss any topic though you think its not important because you can never guess what is coming out. By that, you can avoid "Ish rugi tak baca! dah teringat nak baca tapi ingat kan tak penting. Menyesal gila"

Close your eyes and go through all the pages before entering the exam hall just to boost up your confidence and starts with Bismillah. You've done your part and leave the rest to god.

For me, I'm smiling like this knowing that I've done my best throughout this one year of being a dental student.

Ignore my grammar. Im writting this at 3am.

2010-05-15T22:01:00.006+08:00

one down four to go

2010-05-14T10:41:00.003+08:00

my hands are officially off the notes yesterday. the feeling was indescribable. for the final paper, i came with only pencil box and car key to the exam hall. no notes no hand phone and no bag.

i was singing 'selamat hari raya' song all the way up. how relevant was that with 'merdeka'? i should be singing 'merdeka' song lah kan? never mind. i'll try that next year. they guy in the elevator must have been thinking that i'm crazy. whatever okay guy-in-the-elevator, i'm sitting for my last first year paper like hello can you see my excited face?

i owe you guys bout my sister's shopblog post. and i bout my exam stress and how i coped with it. i want to write bout my one year experience in this faculty and being the only non-hijabi or we call it 'free hair' muslim. too many. okay one by one but later yeah. i have a breakfast date.

one year down. four years to go. getting bigger. getting wiser.

this saturday

2010-05-08T20:38:00.002+08:00

I've always love saturdays. You wake up late without having to think about traffic jam or late for classes. It's fine to be unproductive on this day because you still have Sunday on the next day. But this saturday(today), I'd rather stuck in the jam for 2 hours, i tell you.

Done with revision but i need to go through all those notes again just to make sure i don't miss a thing.

Saturday : Oral Biology I

Sunday : Oral Biology II

p/s: Sorry for my education-related post lately. But amazingly, I blog almost everyday! I'm not lifeless but just being hiatus from the real world. Pengorbanan. Cheh. So what's left for me other than this laptop?

visit Kajang

2010-05-07T16:53:00.008+08:00

i narrow it down to visit Kajang instead of visit Malaysia.

when people asks me "where are you from?" I have a hard time to answer this particular question because 22 year of my life, i was grown up in two places. my grandma's house in kajang during daytime and my family's house in cheras at night, 20 mins drive from grandma's. some people said, you answer it with the place you were born. i was born in KL, so does that mean, i have to answer "i'm from KL"? the truth is, i get lost in KL more than in other places and i dont know KL that much. the streets, the buildings are alien to me. that's when good driver besides you plays a major role in your life.

or should i say," i was born in KL but i live in Cheras. Sometimes i'll be in Kajang and most of the time you'll find me at TTDI. Or One Utama. I count that as my home too. Oh and i'm studying in Shah Alam. Yeah thats basically about me"

Before my headache gets worse answering more questions asking me about Kajang , here are some random facts about that place:

Convent Kajang

Faq during ice breaking sessions was "which school you went to?" My answer is Convent Kajang. And they'll go Convent Bukit Nanas? Nooo there's a convent school in Kajang, my gawd. Hey, we have hot chicks too. why go far?

I was a Primary and Secondary Convent Kajang School student. Wondering why i combined both primary and secondary together? because they share same canteen, field, car park, pavillion(not the shopping mall but assembly area for students) and gates. so that means, you enter the same gate with your sister but she'll turn right for primary and you'll go left for secondary.

it is the second oldest school in Kajang after Kajang High School(boys school) and being used since World War II. I'm not kiding but my family's generation for girls were from Convent Kajang. My mum, aunties, sisters and my girl cousins. So imagine this, when i was in standard 6, my sister was in form 2, rows of cousins in standard 5, 4, 2 and 1. This is purely a true story.

Talking bout famous people from this school. you name it. Actress? Singer? National gymnast? National bowler? We have it all. In 1998 Comenwelth Games, Thye Chee Kiat has won gold medal in gymnastic for Malaysia. She was in Form 4 that time and i was in standard 4. There was this time, as soon as we heard the secondary's bell rang, we ran to the corridor outside of our class just to wait for Thye Chee Kiat to pass by on her way to the canteen and ask for her autograph. hahahaha i know. silly! I wonder how was the situation during Zandra Aziela's(national bowler) era.

Sate Hj, Samuri Kajang

Heard of Sate Kajang before? Hang yourself if you never heard of it. Kajang is known for its Sate. But ask me how many times i had sate in one year, my answer would be ermm during hari raya maybe? Cant recall when was the last time i had one. Being a Kajang-rian doesn't mean that we eat them everyday.

Czip Lee

This huge stationery store is the only place i could think of if i need any stationery. Spent most of my after-school times there looking for fluorescent colored papers for projects, the best mechanical pencil, test pad, exercise books for exams and many more. There is another Czip Lee's outlet in Bangsar. It was opened 2 years ago. Kajang is one step ahead in this case.

Dato' Ujang Bin Bagong

I'm not sure what is his position in Kajang but he has the right to park anywhere he likes. Yes, even in the middle of the road if he wishes too. If you are lucky and he's in a giving mood, he'll give out money to people. weird huh? unfortunately, i never had the chance. Guess i'm not lucky most of the time.

There's no other place like Kajang.

Have a good weekend people and happy holiday for UiTM students.

bright night

2010-05-06T00:27:00.010+08:00

i always love a place full with bright lights. there's a once stop center in Shah Alam called i-City that is showered with bright neon colored lights. it was so bright and fascinating that at one second my eyes gone mad that it can't differentiate between orange and red, okay i'm lying.

sheesh at last there's a place in Shah Alam that is worth visiting other than UiTM's library.

different people have different ways to study.but this lady will make your mouth glued just because she's trying to memorize 3 pages of essay.

once in a while, she'll go "can you please shut up for just one second"

i paused one second like what she requested and continued the conversation after that

and she starts to roll her eyes

like i care

she even bring the notes as close as 1cm in front of her face as if it will all be absorbed right away in her forehead.

happy sunday everyone

my sunday was killed with this guy. not literally. drove back to kajang just to send him to his gf's house. he's going back to ns camp with his gf's family after 5 days of holiday. sort of mid term break. 5 days? better than nothing, boy.

yes!! finally he's one tone darker than me

me : so how's ns?
him : i enjoyed it and no regrets.
me : told ya!
me : any pretty girls?
him : so far, nope.
me : boys?
him: for what? for you?

and the conversation stopped there. yeah. he's being a loyal bf and protective little brother.

education

2010-05-01T17:43:00.000+08:00

memorize the location of heart and liver before you proceed on this article
which is right and which is left

sakit hati

'sakit hati' is a common phrase among we, Malaysians to express our intense emotional pain. basically, it is a word that represents hate and anger. we will immediately place either our right or left palm on our left upper chest.

we were raised with this toughts..

patah hati = broken heart
baik hati = kind hearted

boy we were fooled by that phrase. hati in english is liver. anatomically, liver is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity, resting just below the diaphragm. it is a vital organ that functions to detoxify, synthesize protein, hormones and other necessary biochemicals for digestion.

heart on the other hand is jantung. this organ is located at the left upper chest, the place that we put our palms if we "sakit hati". it pumps blood and when you fall in love and nervous on your first date, you will feel your heart beating faster than the normal rate.

i can see your hands are moving! hahahaha

and since we were toddlers, we drew this shape as hati(liver). structurally, normal heart(jantung) has this shape, not liver (hati). but somehow, in English, we call it as a heart shape. how can we mistranslated it as hati?

The heart shape

should we change those then? then it would be like these..

sakit hati = liver ache
or
heart ache = sakit jantung

err no no. imagine someone says to you "my heart aches". you'd probably think that he got a heart attack or something as he is referring to sakit hati.

or should we place our palms at the right side below the diaphragm everytime we want to say that we "sakit hati"? its just so wrong, isn't it?

hmmm now you are thinking!

new study method

2010-04-30T16:25:00.012+08:00

i realized i haven't been blogging since last week because i felt like i had nothing blog-worthy to share. yes, i know i was in my study leave since a week ago but, really i have been busier than ever with notes and my unorganized room. sure i checked daily news, updated gossips and followed my favourite blog religiously but by the time i was done with my daily clicks i would just yawn at the thought of blogging.

and i realized that i have been studying like never before though most of the time were filled with dozing off on the couch and i have no time to pamper myself with a shopping treat! i woke up every morning with 'i have nothing to wear' thought in my head. weird, no? and what makes it weirder, the credit card bill has been enormously increased. i wonder where did it all came from? *hello auntyna!*

one of my study methods is 'always reward yourself with something'. i always reward myself whenever i'm done with one lecture note. i said to myself, "if you want to watch the television, you have to finish up this atherosclerosis notes" And "if you want to sleep, finish this notes till it's last sentence" this method worked MOST of the time. not ALL the time ;p

so today i said to myself, "if you want to get your hands on the credit card, finish up H&L module". and yes i did it. off i went to OU.

see told ya. it worked on me!

i'm wearing a casual evening dress bought from my sister's blogshop. nadi, see how bad is the word bought/buy from your own blood sister? hahahaha. well apparently, she is setting up a fashion blogshop that sells lots of beautiful yet affordable outfits. no worries girls, i've tried all of them. all of the items got my approval. i'll blog more about it in my next post.

paper vs technology

2010-04-25T11:34:00.007+08:00

i swear i'm like this most of the time

and with that pile of notes yet to be read

until this technology distracts me

that piece of paper i held few minutes ago is nowhere to be seen

and i'll be like this

guess who won the battle?

manipulative

2010-04-24T12:08:00.004+08:00

it's okay to chill your diet program during finals,z because that's what i'm doing now. the difference is i don't have any diet program in particular. been stuffing my stomach with foods that are potentially harmful to the body in the future.

you say - cheese is fattening

i say - cheese contains milk that provides calcium to our teeth

see how i manipulate facts? :D

secret recipe's marble cheese cake

let's eat!

tips tops

2010-04-22T19:26:00.006+08:00

im done with my one and only external paper for this semester, titas. it was fine and i have no regrets for not spending my time on notes. i was pigging out on bed most of the time. i guess my brain works best when i'm asleep. the best reason for a lazy person could think.

study has been demanding. final and professional exam are waiting. gotta find back my scattered and abandoned notes. its everywhere in the room. honestly, i'm aiming for the viva session which will be handled by Dr. David Ferguson from UK. in other words, i have to get an A before i can experience it myself. nothing is impossible, pretty girl.

good luck everyone. few useful tips

do not leave your answer sheets blank, without a single point. even if you don't know how to explain and elaborate, one single word of point might help you to get marks.
good handwriting really helps, psychologically to the lecturer. this is one of other few reminders given by my lecturer. according to Dr. Gupalo, if you give us headache, we'll give you migraine.
i dont know how this one tip works but during my diploma days, i used to write my name next to my matric number. some says, its a big NO NO but i guess that hypothesis is applied if you're a troublemaker student. or else, its not a big deal especially if the lecturer recognizes you. so juniors, take note.
sleep sleep sleep. don't ever assume that if you sleep less and study more, you will gain something beyond your expectations. our brain needs time to rest for memorization.

im looking forward for holiday.

alien vs human

2010-04-18T11:34:00.003+08:00

classes were officially ended last Friday for my faculty and i believe, so the rest of other faculties. the difference is i have 3 weeks of study leaves while they have 2 -3 days to study before they get their hands down on the first paper. poor you guys. hahaha. dont get too excited pretty girl, professional exam is waiting for you.

so i thought of celebrating my first ever long break since my semester break was only for a week. yes, i know. i've been repeating this forever. since i haven't meet jannah as if i'm in Malaysia and she's in London, i texted her to meet or something.

me : what will you be doing from 8-12 tonight?

jannah js : study. shut up. dont laugh. why?

me : ermm wanted to meet you up for shopping and drinks. it's okay. i forgot you have paper next week.

jannah : first paper is titas(CTU) and dont forget that you took this subject too. fyi, paper is on thursday.

me : shoooot. lupa! hahahaha. okay love you.

i totally forgot that i have final paper on this coming thursday. shoot. shall make a good friend with the notes now.

little did i know, not only jannah js is taking the same subject with me but chong and taqim as well. at last, we have something in common. i feel like a human again. all this while, i'm an alien to them.

in and out

2010-04-06T10:37:00.010+08:00

so when people asks me, what will you be doing tonight? my answer is study. as simple as that. i used to think that 'that' reason is lame but not anymore. i'm proud to say that i'll be studying tonight, so don't bother to text or call me because i'm in my own pharmacology/microbiology/pathology world. pharmaco and microbe for tonight btw.

some pictures on my visit to my brother's national service camp. the initial plan was to visit him on the second week of the training program which is this coming weekend. we thought only spoiled kids would ask their parents to come over but surprisingly, my brother is one of them. sigh. and we brought along nenek as he wished.

this one spoiled kid

or is he being spoiled by his sister?

we brought along polaroid camera for instant pictures

inspired

2010-04-04T00:00:00.009+08:00

in my previous post, i revealed my first ever ambition when i was a hormonal teenager. i know there's no where for me to get there since i have to finish my study in 5 years times. sigh i wish 5 years is just 5 months.

last semester, the frequently asked questions were, why dentistry? is this your first choice? i'm so over it. we even have to list down our reasons and present it during PBL session. i mean, you'll get the same lame answers, yet you still want to ask us for another gazillion times.

i have only one reason in my mind. and my answer is, i want to be like Dr. Ruslan, my idol. i was inspired by him in many ways. he's my orthodontic (braces) doctor for almost 4 years now. it takes me longer than anyone else because i have to wait one year for my impacted canine to erupt and i went for treatment once in 3 months instead of once a month because i was doing my diploma in jengka.

i guess not a single person in this planet isn't scared of doctor or dentist. a simple checkup can rises your blood pressure and you will be shaking like never before due to nervousness. i'm not excluded. but in Dr. Ruslan's case, i dont think any of his patients is scared of him. i'm excited to see him every month. no, i'm serious. he's a soft-spoken man, greats you with a smile and makes you forget that he's capable to pull-off all of your teeth in one time.

somewhere in may last year...

me: doctor, i had just graduated with cgpa 3.**
Dr. Ruslan: oh congratulations. so what did you apply for your degree?
me: my first choice is dentistry. i want to be like you. i want to be an orthodontist.
Dr. Ruslan: oh my. nanti you sakit belakang! are willing to sacrifice your 5 years of life? and another 4 years for master?
me: yes i am!

and now, he'll ask me on what i've studied every time we meet during appointments. its a reminder for me to get good results in exams because he'll ask me. okay this part is scary.

during my previous appointment...

me: doctor, i think my canine is rotated distally.
Dr. Ruslan: oh i almost forgot that i'm talking to a future dentist. i'm so proud of you. let me see.

well, it was actually Dr. Luay, my lecturer who told me about the problem and i was just pretending as if i knew what is going on with my tooth. hahahaha.

i look up to him in career wise. he's a lovely and nice in person. oh and not to mention,he's a handsome man in his age. and his rows of expensive cars are drooling me.

i know its a long way to be in his position. in the next 5 years, i'm a general dental officer. and it takes another 4 years to be an orthodontic specialist. its my dream to get there and sky is the limit. insyaallah god will lead me.

can i wear a tucked in victorian shirt with high waisted skirt as my office attire later? :D

family

2010-04-03T15:39:00.004+08:00

i realized that i miss my brother. although we only meet each other only during weekends, now knowing that he's not around and we would not be able to meet each other, it made me miss him even more.

i texted my mom

me: are you going to visit yas this weekend?
mom: i dont think so. this is his first week. let him adapt to the new life first. anyhow, we'll wait for his phone call this saturday and see if he needs anything. i miss him. im looking at his photo on my desktop.

and this morning, i received phone call from my mom's office

mom: yas just called just now and he wants us to come tomorrow. he's bored and the food sucks.
me: owh lets bring mcD or kfc!
mom: no. he wants rice. and he misses nenek too. he asked us to bring nenek along tomorrow.
me: okay lets go tomorrow. who else is going?
mom: bapak might not be able to join us. yas said he dont mind if bapak cant make it. as long as we bring nenek, he'll be alright.

and i laughed.

no matter how bad and troublesome you are, you still have your family at the end of the day. no matter how hard is your heart, you will eventually think of your family although for just a second. keep yourself to the ground and dont forget what your parents have taught you throughout your life.

recap

2010-04-01T19:36:00.010+08:00

sorry for my once-a-week entry lately. been busy with faculty's activities last week. being the only 'free-hair' student in my faculty, i'm easily being spotted for my absence in any events or programs. this time, i cant seem to find any reason for not going to these programs, family day and telentime night. massive tiredness, i tell you.

family day: oh i have muscle spasm, bruises everywhere and high blood pressure because of this. okay i'm just exaggerating. you know how much i hate hate hate anything that is related to sports. running and sweating to be specific. after two years of jogging-free life, my muscles were forced to run and walk and run and walk again. i knew they were crying inside there. sigh.

bukit cerakah, shah alam: my oh-finally-its-over face

telentime: after 4 hours of never ending treassure hunt at bukit cerakah, we had telentime night for students to show their talent. every batch was required to send at least one entry for this competition. since no one from first year volunteered to participate, we decided that everyone have to take part and perform on that night. we did choir of medley songs. with only 3 nights of practice, we managed to get 2nd place. it was fun.

this familiar place is such a heaven.

ou: this little girl is all grown up now

happy april, readers. may happiness be with you always.

national service

2010-03-29T15:55:00.008+08:00

my brother left for national service at kuala kubu bharu , selangor this morning. i was there 4 years ago but at a different camp. initially, he refused to go but we managed to convince him saying that it'll will be fun and try to put all sorts of positive words and encouragements in his head. my parents sent him this morning and his girlfriend is waiting there as both of them were placed at the same camp. so i guess he's going to be a loyal and obedient boyfriend and vice versa. too bad, no love letters from secret admires like what your sister got =)

everyone would be surprised if i tell them that i survived in that 3 months of military-like program. based on my experience, it wasn't as torturous as some of you might think. i skipped lots of classes and stayed at the day-care ward pretended as if i'm having a stomach ache. i slept in classes and lied saying that i just had my cough syrup due to my bad cough. but you know, 'sepandai pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga', prepare for punishments. i had enough. such a bad example.

well, it is obviously a bonus point for you to impress your new crush. or at least it worked for me. all i can say is, been there, done that!

ambition

2010-03-23T23:32:00.008+08:00

Last weekend, i received a text message from ain, one of my classmates.

Ain: nyssa, boleh tak you datang kfc esok 8am untuk shoot video untuk competition tu?
Me: 8am? I kat kajang lah you. 8am is too early for me. Boleh ganti dengan orang lain?
Ain : alright. Its okay. Dah ganti dengan kila.

I have to admit that i’m a lil bit selfish and did not help much throughout the movie making process but 8am on weekend? I consider 8am on Saturday is still the wee hour for me. Sorry sayangs.

And just now, i received phone call from suhaila, my adorable classmate

Suhaila : nyssa, boleh tak masuk telentime untuk family day sabtu ni. Nyssa nyanyi.
Me : ha?! Nyanyi? *I felt like my temporomandibular joints almost dislocate*
Suhaila : ala nyssa confident. Suara pun sedap. Please eh?

This time around, i cant help myself from stop laughing right after we hung up, su. I can accept it when she said im confident. I’m comfortable with microphone because i’m used to giving speech and presentations in front of big crowd. Practising my speech and presentation’s script infront of mirror is a must thing to do the night before my presentation.

When i was still a hormonal teenager, my one and only ambition was to be a newsreader and tv host. Don’t laugh. I used to take any newspaper infront of me and pretended as if i’m reading some sort of news on national television. Just like what you saw on tv with all those head nodding and body language. And my audience are families and friends. I wonder how they bear with me during that time. Hahahahaha. Believe me when i say that i chose Diploma in Mass Communication as my first choice for UPU application. Well, now i have to list it as my second choice as i’ve chose dentist as the utmost priority. Anyhow, i still pretended to read news sometimes though. Hahahaha.

I still remember how i used to sing for my roommates, jannah-siti nurkhaliza-rara back in jengka almost every night as if it was a huge concert. I ‘performed’ from my bed which was above j’s(double-decker bed) as the imaginary stage and they sat on rara’s bed as the sporting audience. They cheered for me and requested all sorts of songs from malay to English. you name it. Hahahaha.

But singing in public? Infront of probably 200 people? Hahahha. I doubt that. i don’t have the guts to do so. I still cant believe your phone call,susu(refer to suhaila). I cant sing, darling. Literally. Although singing and tv host-ing are both related to entertainment.

Now that i’ve chose to be a dentist, there is no turning back. First year is almost coming to its end and i scored good result for my oral biology 2 exam. Alhamdulillah. Its a good motivation for me to work harder and aim for the best. i’m looking foward for the next 4 years in a very positive way. Insyaallah.

p/s: you are right there infront of me but i still felt my heart skipped a beat, or maybe two :)

blood pressure reading during practical

poor oral hygiene can lead to other medical problems because those bacteria in your oral cavity can penetrate into blood vessels and enter your blood circulation. so be careful with your daily diet and brush your teeth at least twice a day.

have a good day people.

as complicated as it can be

i'm back in this virtual life. hello and good evening everyone.

i can claim myself as a good listener and i have this curiosity to ask more and more question when that person is telling me his/her stories or problems. especially when it comes to something that i've never experienced or happened to myself. unfortunately, i'm not good in giving solutions to it or in other words, i'm not good in handling problems -.-"

happened to be, last night i met this guy/friend. i'm curious and interested at the same time when he excitedly told about his job and salary to us. of course, i wanted to know more about it because i dont have any experience in working field or whatsoever. i asked him lots of questions. surprisingly, he's 20. younger than me and he did not further his study and chose to work instead. he told me that he had to work because he needs money to help his family. he's from a broken family and lives with his dad who is critically ill and depends on him for house rent, bills etc. those are just a pieces of how complicated his life is.

and i cried (a good listener doesnt cry, right? okay anyhow...lets continue)

unfortunately, there's nothing i can do. i dont have money to solve his problems. i mean, not that much. i dont know any source or organization that he could ask for fund. all i can say is, 'masuk UiTM. murah je yuran. tak lebih dari 500. kolej pun dapat free. tiap-tiap hari ada rebate makan. then, apply la PTPTN, dapat rm2500. nanti terus tolak yuran. ada balance rm2000'. see how ber-semangat i am when it comes to UiTM. the place that had taught me about life . hahahahha dang! here comes my bimbo-ness!

i'm above lucky to have the life that i'm having now. i'm not wealthy rich but i got what i want. anything and everything, i can say. just a matter of time. i have few tricks and tactics to it, tho. heee. a good education and secured future although i'm an average student. and most importantly, a very loving and perfect family.

i have the utmost respect for those who had been through alot of challenges in life and successfully tackled it. u got my respect! because i dont think i can handle it if i'm in your shoes. hold on to your kites because He is testing you.

life is complicated

happy Sunday everyone. fill the air with love.

talking about shopping, i dont categorized myself as a shopaholic but i do shop a lot. the main reason i'm not in the 'shopaholic' category is because i do not use my own money. as simple as that. for me, a shopaholic is someone who uses his/her own cents to shop.

i have tonnes of clothes. some of them(referring to those clothes) are waiting to be worn. while some of them had only touched my skin once and they're now at the corner of the room. pity them. if only they have mouth and voice to speak out or at least cry.

i constantly bought clothes and skirts from this one brand that i'd rather not mention here since its first outlet in this country. lets name it "CO". now, CO is a well established brand with 3 outlets and paper bag too unlike some degradable plastic bag back then. CO offers a wide range of high quality outfits and accessories for its customers. not to mention, its affordable and oh so comfortable too. cheaper than those brands that i'd usually go for. you can grab 2 skirts for rm75 when you cant even get one single skirt from miss selfridge, for instance.

but lately, i'm having an eyesore+migraine knowing and realizing that i have lots of twins! yes people, we have similar items from the same store and we wear it at the same time. wtf right? how embarrassing is that? no one can explain -.-"

when not many of us knew about the brand, people tend to ask me where did i get those tees,skirts and pumps but now, you can guess it easily and go, 'oh, this is from CO'.

buying some kind of 'very' affordable clothes has its own disadvantages, of course. one of it is, clothes from this store tend to stretch after 3 or 4 times washing. and it really annoys me because it will only be added to my overloaded-baju-tidur section.

anyhow, it will not stop me from shopping because there's a hidden fun and excitement that you can never tell unless you experience it yourself. for now, i'll keep my CO's in the closet and let you guys go hoo-hoo-haa-haa with them. luckily i have a kindhearted sister who understands why i need a rm89 flip-flop and rm160 dress for daily use =)

have fun mix and match-ing!

'fun' is the word

2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010.

i'm sooo going this time. couldn't make it last year because i was in jengka during that time. and now that i'm in shah alam and putrajaya is just nearby, i'm sure to drop by during the event. cant wait.

it's gonna be a lot of fun especially when you have an awesome people with you. just imagine, looking at the amazing hot air balloons with beautiful buildings of Putrajaya as the background. bring along your picnic/beach towel along with a slice of marble cheese cake and you'll get a magnificent scenery .

some of the pictures from last year's event...

it's going to be held at putrajaya. we have Paris as the city of love in France and we have Putrajaya as the city of love in Malaysia. for those who dont believe me, go there and experience it yourself with your loved ones.

do you know that none of the buildings in putrajaya is built with similar design? each building has its own unique design.

a bonus mark if you're in love with an architect or an architectural student (*ehem). you will have fun going from one building to another.

another long weekend this week. happy holiday people. drink more fluid.
