zura's akademik

We attended kursus kahwin at Zura's Akademik , Bangsar last month on the 26th and 27th of March, 2 days after umrah. There was not much time to think and wanted to get it done with without delaying it further. Close friends promoted Zura's and gave good reviews. So, why not.

.....

Trust me the reviews were all bull ! Zura's akademik is over-rated and not up to the expectations. To MY expectations.

They have been running for yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssss , and with the money they received from the participants,why can't they upgrade their PLACE ? Not to say that I'm the upper-end-girl but oh, common.. Just upgrade it already and give us a proper place instead of very dark, dusky, dusty, old room ... Unless if you're new in this line and not much income to rent a good place, that I would understand. OK maybe not change a place, but RENOVATE maybe?????

and the food... well, it's good already that they provided us......

During the talk, some of the Ustaz were trying really really hard to make jokes but oh my.. SUPER-LAME. How can you simply make jokes about DEATH? That is pure immoral.

Example .." If you want to die together, you die in an accident" .. !@#$%^&*()???????? and people laughed at those lame jokes. oh-my-GOD!

Only 2 teachers that made me listened through out the whole course. I listened only 2 hours out of ~18hours of talk ! I hear other people talking but not listening to them. Different.

And 50% is about how to write the forms.. What to do and how to go about it with the forms ..

Repeat again and again and again and again !!! We are not KIDS so why not just give a paper that stated all the instructions and leave it to US? why not focusing on husband's & wife's responsibilities to each other and family instead of babbling the same procedures ???!!!!

WASTE !!

and speaking of forms, my Ustaz in Subang Jaya has already reminded me that do not take the form of "perakuan bujang" or something. The form that stated you as single and have not yet married prior to this. My ustaz mentioned to not take the form as it is not in the latest procedure but the organizer there forced us to take and pay rm10 and scare us with what will happen if we don't fill in the form. RM 10 to pay for that form that is NOT used anymore !! that form is OLD procedure.

Babbling procedures for hours and asked us to fill a form that is not in the latest procedure...

Don't talk about procedures if you don't know the procedures. I know my ustaz is saying the truth because he is a juru nikah in Selangor.

They forced us to buy our group photo as EVIDENCE, in case they lost our records.. and photo is about rm20 ? can't remember !

and LOST? How can they LOST the records? you have run for what, 20 years? 30 years? and have this lost-of-records problems??

and FORCED us to buy our attendance slip which cost few cents or ringgit.

Zura's Akademik is over-rated, low-standard, and asked us to pay unnecessary things which I believe is for themselves.. and yet did not upgrade their place , but prolly have time to upgrade their cars.. probably..

and just yesterday I called them to ask the photo size for nikah certificate ...

Me: boleh saya tahu berapa size photo untuk sijil nikah ?

Receptionist: oohh saya tak pasti. Kami hanya keluarkan sijil kursus kahwin bukan sijil kahwin.

Me: Tapi kursus awak ni pasal kahwin kan???

Receptionist: .... Maaf cik

proof of stupidity ..

the angel that saved me

my boyfriend then. my fiance now. my love always...

that is how I addressed him here, in my blog.

His family calls him ijul. His friends call him Fizo. I modified a bit here there, and decided to call him Egol in my blog.

My besty heard and went , "EGOL??? sounded like a fat-fish" -_- .. She's very kind in giving opinions and reviews that girl..

Oh well, until I find a cuter name for him, I'll stick to Egol ;)

I was a lil shy when I started blogging, hence I didn't write much about Egol.

He's 3 years older.. wait.. Egol does sound like a fish.. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. Let's call him Ijul lah... safer and cuter too.. I'll find some other cute name later..

....

And so.. He's 3 years older than me. did degree in business and currently Alhamdulillah, he's doing great!

We became friends end 2005. We talked & shared many many stories. I sensed chemistry between us , and he became my bestfriend along the way.

Approximately 10 months later, we became officially together. Took our relationship to the next level, what "kids" nowadays call them boyfriend-girlfriend ..

He has been the sweetest guy , e-vah ! and it has nothing to do with flowers, chocolates, kinky poems & letters, nor romantic candlelight dinner with violin played by the side.

He has his own charms that I have witnessed along the way, that captured my heart.

Soft with his words, lame jokes and still laughed at his own jokes, never once he raised his voice, always compensate, sincere in everything, and have great passion in everything that he does. He was the one that gave me the strength to overcome the stress through out my rough years in medical school. His words were simple but has very deep meaning that it made me ponder. Not just words that comfort. Words that made me think and made me chose my paths.

and because he is soft spoken, it influenced me to speak like him when we're together. My family were totally opposite. We don't speak softly. We screamed and joked and laughed out loud at home. gosh, RIUH !

He forms the better me. and though I've got many guy friends as compare to girls, I shall confidently say that I've never met a guy, as pure & sincere as he is in my life. and I could not thanked Allah as much. Alhamdulillah, my prayer has been heard =)

cartoon II ..

My convocation falls on the same date as my wedding reception !!!!!! *jawdropped*

OH-EMM-GEE !!

I called my college one morning to clarify some stuffs and the staff mentioned that my convo is on _ of july ! *GULP*

However, my convo will be held in the morning and end around 2-ish PM .. BUT it will be in Melacca. and my wedding reception is at night, so..hmmmm...

And then I thought, maybe I should skip this convo. So much hatred towards the college and their suckiest management ever, I wouldn't mind skipping..

Then again, IT IS CONVOCATION DUDE !! receiving a degree certificate for once in a lifetime!! (unless of course if I were to take another degree after)

Degree in Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery some-more ! I would not want to miss it , would I?

Random, stressful thoughts intrude my mind.

O'Allah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim. Permudahkan lah urusanku. Lindungi lah aku dan semua orang yang aku sayangi dan kasihi. amin.

Looking at the bright side, i'll be having 2 celebrations in one-day !! and and, I could have all my friends who started working to attend my reception since they will be off-ed day that day ! YAY !!

cartoon !!

I can't stop laughing at myself and everything happened in the past and going to happen in the future. Everything planned simply goes haywire. Or I prolly love them go crazy !!

When I was in India, we had twice a year of semester break which lasted 3 weeks each. and every seconds of holiday is PRECIOUS ! I never stayed back for a semester break. And what I did back then was to go back right after exams! By hook or crook, I would take the next flight. Packing is never my problem though.

Took a taxi an hour after exam to mangalore airport, about 2 hours drive. Then waited for domestic flight from mangalore to bangalore, 45minutes flight. And took the international flight at night. Arrived KUL next morning at 7am.

Before exams, I would be the one making myself busy , asking around the exact exams schedule, climbed up to the air-ticketing office, grab wtvr flight. I don't care about the prices since scholarship is doing all the payments *grins*

and I did the same on my last day in Manipal , after my last paper. I didn't stay back to take pictures or see teachers. PACK and GO ! *ROFL*

And this rushing up things, go cartoon around is still happening. GOSH !

In melaka, well.... its kinda routine to rush back after Friday class. And what happened recently was after my final paper.

People would usually stayed back with friends etc right? me? nu-uh. For some reason, I just want to go home home home and relaxxxxxxxxxxxx... Pretty stressed up huh?

So after my final MBBS exam, last day was my short case in Muar. Took our college bus back to campus from Muar, packed, and GO vroooommm back home. Since I'll be having interview the following week, I need not to worry about my leftovers. and takenote, I didn't know my result after my shortcase. Results were released 2 days after my shortcases. Confidently go home.

Results were out. My friends called to informed that I passed !! HOOYAAHH!! went out for dinner with family. Few days later, went back to college with my certs ready for interview, and I brought my cousin along to help me with packing XD

A day before interview, arrived Melacca at 6pm +. We packed non-stop.

mess!

just chucked everything *peace*

Rushed for quick dinner with cousin + friends. Continued packing till midnite.

that beg was awfully heavy!

phewww ! I didn't even revise any single thing for my interview.

Woke up next morning, a wee late but made it on time. 8am dot. My turn was a bit later so I memorized some stuffs from friend's notes.

Interview went alhamdulillah well. Met few lecturers.

the famous Prof MVKumar

the cool psychiatry members + one community medicine

Did some last minute packing, chucked everything in my mom's Estima. Went for lunch with my groupmates and zoomed back to KL.

Unpacked some stuffs. Went for last minute shopping for my Umrah. Went off to Mekkah 4 days later.

Andddddddd this story doesn't end here. to be continued ..

famous question these days is..

" When are you going to start working ? "

I wouldn't mind answering that. Honest ! But........................

My answer is pretty lengthy you see. And I'm a very lazy person. Hence, that question is a big burden for me to answer.

Since people asked too often, I can answer them in my sleep already. Same sentence. All memorized :P

What annoys me is the question or critic after answering.

To get there, let me rewind few sentences behind.

So when people asked , "When are you going to start work" ..

" Oh well, I just graduated in March and usually government would give us 3months holiday after graduation so prolly they call me for induction in June, and work starts immediately after induction. And since July is my wedding, I'm going to defer myself till after wedding. So I'll start in September"..

"Why September?"

"July is Wedding, August is fasting month, September is raya, so after raya would be nice to start work"

Do you know how difficult for a doctor to ask for a leave? We work 7 days a week. And to start work during fasting month would be extremely tiring since I'm not used to the workloads and schedule.

I feel that the best for me is to start work after raya. Maybe not after the whole month of Raya, but few days to one week, or maybe two weeks of Raya.

And it is my decision anyway.

Then , they'll start asking

"Ok ke , after kahwin you kerja? no time you know"

"Why start lambat? seniority bla bla bla"..

-_- pfft..

Of course I know there won't be time for me at home much especially first few years of working but its not like I work 24hours a day everyday. And do you think I have time to date after working if I'm not married? At least , once married, I can see my love at home. Because home is where I go to after work.

I never give excuses to postpone marriage. To me, marriage is something pure and blessed. It is something that should not be postponed for long.

I believe that everything will follow tru once you are married. And I believe that life is more prosper after marriage , insyaAllah .

mikasa a sukasa

When I read about my zodiac sign , the part where it mentioned LEO is a HOME person. My response was, " no way ! " .. and that was 10 years or more ago.

and now, I agree to that statement. No kidding ! I am a home person !

I do go out, DU-UHH! But I prefer staying home. I like to stay in bed, under my comforter and read story books or just snooze. I love the fact that I need not to worry about how I look, powder-ed or not, hair combed properly or not, shorts, sleeveless, yeah what-ever I really don't care. Because, mostly are girls at home ! except for my brother who is studying in UK currently, and my dad.

I also loved it when there is cooked food in the kitchen and need not to worry about lunch or dinner. Snacks are just a hand away too ! gosh, I love home !

Lazed around watching TV or simply doing nothing but just rest and relax. Simply blissful.

Even when I was in campus, I prefer to stay home and watched movies. I would order in or cook, and lazed in the room. Time flies super fast when you're lazing around !!

But that is not the whole point. I love having the time all by myself ! I simply enjoy when nobody is there to disturb me, to control my schedule, to throw tantrums at me when they see me being lazy and irresponsible, to order me here and there. OH BLISS ! Just imagine, you. alone. doing nothing. just rest and relax. oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh , soothing !

and yeah, the time all by yourself could also include spa, and sunbathing by the beach or just sleep.

Since I'm getting married soon, I don't know if I will ever have the time to do nothing but just being plain lazy. I really DON'T mind if my husband and I watched TV together, or read newspaper and story books together.

Do not labelled me as lazy. Of course I wouldn't mind doing the house chores. Everyone has their responsibilities that they can't run from, could they?

Once in a while sitting and lazing around would be really nice.

Are you a home person ?

what season now everyone ?

it's DURIAN season y'all and i've been craving for them since then !! Guess durian and I have some connections since I craved for them on the right time .. =)

I love durian since ... for-e-vah ? *ROFL*

Despite the smell, I LOVE THEM ! It taste real good, impossible to get enough of them.

I bet durian lovers out there understood what I'm trying to convey.

Durian has grades and types which you really have to taste a few to get the best one ! I could eat a lot a lot a lot until my body starts heating up.

You do know that overdose of durians may heat up your body , right ? However, there is a way to prevent this. By pouring water into the part of durian after the seed is removed, And you drink the water from it. That would do it, the traditional way. Of course not pouring the water onto the spiky parts. It's neither possible to retain the water,nor drinking from it too :P

My fiance dislikes durian, the opposite of me. I have asked him to bring me out for durian countless times and ... Of course he wouldn't say "No" straight away.

"Ok I'll bring you but , I'll just watch you eat.."

But he was super busy that he doesn't have the time to bring me out (yet, i presumed =D)

And I have not stop bragging :P

His last response was

" When we are married, I'll grow a Durian tree behind our house so that it would be easier for you to eat " ..

I can hear you saying AWWWWW to his statement. Think again, he wants to grow behind our house? In other words, he'll be lazy to bring me out for durian and so behind the house is convenient FOR him..

pfttttt :P nicely put sayang .. blueekk !

Still craving hereeeeee... Hope to get them one of these days before the season ends !!

district hospital

It's a compulsory for all doctors to do their 'district' posting for 2 years now. Whether as a houseman, medical officer or a specialist.

The weird thing was, as long as it is outside KL and Klang Valley, it is consider as 'District'.. pfft ! Kuala Kubu Baru, Kuala Langat, Hulu Langat, or Hulu Selangor is not consider as 'district' enough.. !@$#%^&*((&^%$#@#!! ..

To argue is POINTLESS.

No matter what the reasons are, no matter how strong your cable is, it is a must to go outside Klang valley for 2years .

*faint*

I am still in DENIAL state =( who would want to go away from home, family and close friends =( no fun like that.

I've been contemplating too, whether to do outside KL first 2 years HO or do next 2yrs during MO. My instinct so far has made me choose KL for the first 2 years of housemanship.

One of the reasons is because my wedding is just few months away and I would love to stay near to my future husband for the first 2 years. All the while, we have been through long distance. KL-UK, India-UK, India-Malaysia, Malaysia-Malaysia but twas Melaka-KL. Hence, it would be nice to stay near for the first 2 years.

Second reason is, housemanship is no doubt the toughest year compare to other years of working. I don't know if I could go through it alone or not.. There are friends around but I bet most are friends that I just meet, hence shall I trust? That person is reliable or not? After all, we are rocking in the same boat. Doom boat. All stressed up and tired and bla bla bla, don't think they would be there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on. We prolly cry together !!

With family , BFFs and hubbywubby around, as my back bone to support me along the way, motivate me when I'm down would be great ! At least, when I do district posting for 2 years during MO, I'll be more matured, more experienced, and more stable in terms of work.

I've told my fiance about this long time ago and I'd reminded him few times. Not to scare him , but to make him set his mind about it. It's a lot easier to handle things when your mind is prepared for it, rather than surprised by it. Correct no?

For now, let us not think too far. Mr. F and I would love to take things as it comes. One step at a time. If we think too far ahead, we might not enjoy the present moments. and, Let's hope the policy changes in 2 years time ;) amin !
