My Last Autumn in Czech, Maybe?
October 12, 2016
It's getting cold, like I am freezing almost everytime I am outside. Feels like winter already but the leaves are still green! Oh, with some color transitions.
 |
| Gonna miss this. |
The last autumn maybe, if I proceed with my decision to go back for good after graduation. It is a long way to go actually even though few more months left. More exams to be done yet less time to do revision. Procrastinate much? I hope not T_T
I wrote a lot of posts to ponder about autumn before. If you would like to read, I've compiled few of them here :) I would love to read your comments of thoughts. Hihi

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding. Quran 39:21
Things to ponder about autumn - let's recap these as I think I wrote them in few posts before.
1. The seasons change accordingly to Allah's plan.
Accordingly here means correctly.
There will never be other than this rotation - summer > autumn > winter > spring. Same goes to our life. We have a life journey than has been planned for us, like in the picture below. We know about it, the different is, this journey will not repeat like the seasons. Once we died, we can never return to the world. This is the thing we (especially me) always forget about and take this fact for granted.

There's a quote from a book I'm currently reading.
Sepertimana sebelum kita dilahirkan di dunia dulu, kita berada di dalam perut ibu. Begitulah juga setelah kita mati nanti, kita akan berada di dalam perut bumi.
2. He knows everything in this world - even when a single leaf falls.
Yeah, I know this is cliche. But, I hope this is a reminder to myself when I am typing this.
Just few days ago someone told me, it is okay to fulfill your desire (like watching your favorite drama, listening to lagha songs) as long as you keep it to yourself and just don't let it encourage other people to do so. Somehow I agree in disagree.
I agree to the point almost everybody hide their own 'aib' kan? But disagree when it actually confirms that I cannot even control myself. It's like ouch... nampak sangat nafsu nak buat benda tak berfaedah tu menebal sangat. It's like running away from reality, seeking for things that make me happy instead of asking comfort, pleasure and peace in mind from Allah.
Hmmm....

Birthday Gifts From Lovely Maryam
October 11, 2016
I mentioned Maryam a lot in my blog, if you realized. :D She is one of the artistic friend I've ever met especially in photography and videography. She owns a YouTube channel and please do subscribe as all her videos will not disappoint you. Hihi.
Honestly I am not a person who care much about birthday, even my own. My birthday used to be during school days when I was younger and since few years back I had the chance to spend the day with my family. I am an August baby anyway. From what I remember, I have not organised or being thrown any birthday party.
Budak nerd kan. Lol
 |
| Me, Maryam, Lucie - somewhere in the forest in HK for autumn ride. |
But, I received gifts, a lot. And Maryam is one of them who never fail to give something every year. While writing this up, I have been self-reflecting.... awwww, I should have appreciate our friendship more :)
Inside the cover of this gift is a book, the awesome one so far till the pages that I've read now, I am telling you! I will share more about the book soon, insyAllah, as I am still on my way reading the whole pages. :)

Dearest Yams,
You are a unique, interesting, lovely friend to me. Thanks for being there for me since A-Level. Eventhough we might be not that close at that time, but I'm sure our friendship is growing stronger now, right? Alhamdulillah. Thank you for girls' talk that we shared during the sleep over sometimes. Thank you for being the best deejay for our road trips, every time. You and the free offline Spotify that you registered with different email accounts. Haha
Thank you for keep taking good pictures and videos of me and the rest while compiling them into YouTube videos, which always be the best place to reminisce all those memories we've spent together. Thank you for always excites me with new places, cycling and hiking trails even though there was one time that I left you back there with Czech students in Snezka. I am still regretting that and I hope I have improved myself since then. T___T
Thank you for being a good study and discussion partner for our crash course of revisions, days before our tests and exams. Thank you for taking care of Atan for us. Thank you for all yummy desserts that you made. Not to forget, haha thank you for tolerating with me and my Malay retro and Korean songs even though those are kinda aliens to you. Thank you for keep staying there when I was too loud or did something weird in public and people kept staring at us. HAHA
I hope you will stay the way you are - the gentle, soft-spoken girl. I must say that I am so lucky to have the chance to spend most of the holidays together, either in or out of Czech. It's been more than 5 years now and counting, insyAllah.
Thank you for everything, my beloved Maryam Nabihah <3

3 Things I Learned From Hari Sukan Negara 2016 in Czech
October 10, 2016
Aha, I know it is too mainstream to talk about Hari Sukan Negara, but this is one of the day that I love. :D
Sports are my passion and I am happy to have basic skills of many sports except the one using legs. Seriously, futsal / football is a big no no, I don't know how to control the ball no matter how hard I learn. Running is an exception - I am into this lately. Bowling, volleyball, badminton are my cups of tea.
My body is obviously not in the best shape yet but alhamdulillah, no major health concerns so far hopefully not in the future either. Ameen ameen. T_T

| The medalists. Lol. |
I joined a badminton tournament this year, it was actually the second time being organised by Czemsa and the embassy. Czemsa is a short form of Czech Malaysian Students Association, who handles many issues regarding the study and plays the role as the board that connect the students to the embassy. Actually, our Malaysian family in Czech is not that big and usually the people from the embassy will recognize you at least from which locality you study in. They may not be able to remember your name with your face, but trust me they know at least something about you. :)
Everyday is a process of learning.
Cliche, I know.
It was a very nice event where I had the chance to meet other people from different localities - Prague and Olomouc. We might have known many friends from the other universities for the past 5 years, but this time it felt something else - the good one. Yes, again, another #finalyearsyndrome. Lol
1. You may not be the best pair for your partner but you can always try to sort it out.
I played badminton single most of the times :) Hmm, sure double was my thing before, but it was too long ago, high school maybe. So, basically Adilah is my 2nd badminton partner and I think we are doing great. :)
 |
| Adilah & I |
It was struggling hard to play together in the same court, haha like who is going to take care of the net and at the back?, should we cover half and half court? yada yada. But again, we are learning to adapt with each other. And I am glad you are my partner, dear Adie. Adie, being the phlegmatic one and I am obviously not in that group - it helps even though I am not that sure in what way. Haha.
Thank you Adie for tolerating my enthusiasm :D
Thank you for being patient with me.
2. You will get to know others if you grab the chances given to you.
I told you I am trying to appreciate friendship more starting recently, so why not I grab the chance to spend time with friends that I am not yet that close? It's not like I wanna be close to everybody, but at least I want to create good memories with people - the memories I will treasure for the rest of my life. :)

It felt good to actually learn something new about that friends, which you have no ideas about. To be able to share lame jokes and they accepted your jokes with funny response were also the memorable part of yesterday. :) #assabiyahnomore
Hopefully we will have more events within this remaining short time to share our time together. :)
 |
| Lunch at Modry Zub |
3. To enjoy tasty food after the exercise is a blessing :D
We went to Modry Zub, a Thai restaurant for late lunch. Haha, after burning fats and calories, we were basically double them back with theseeee yummy Thai (basically Asian) food! Warm seafood in a rainy day. :) Blast.
 |
| Shaking. |
Aeisyah and Farhana did the order as the rest were not that familiar with the menu. Basically we ordered steamed fish, sweet sour fish, tomyam and somtam. :)
Oh yea, Modry Zub literally means Blue Tooth. Haha. You can check their website if you are interested to come and eat here while in Prague. The food was good enough to enjoy.
-------------------------------
And.......
Another best part of the event was this. Hehe

Snacks From Taiwan, Thanks Luke!
October 8, 2016
I am glad I met many good friends while surviving in Czech for the past 5 years and counting. As a person who don't care much about friendship before, I realized that having friends is something I should appreciate. I cared about my studies A LOT when I was in schools. I cannot say I regret that ...but, I do, a bit.
I will start to make posts of appreciation regularly for people who leave meaningful sparks in my heart for anything. :)

| Jawahir, Heidi, Luke, me. |
These snacks are from Luke, a good friend of mine from Taiwan.
He looks younger than his age though. Please guess how old is he and comment below yea?
I still remember he was one of the first international friends that I made during first year. Already a degree holder, yet he continues with another degree.
----------------
Dear Luke,
Thanks for being a good study partner throughout our medical school. We spent lots of time in cafes for discussion - well that's the only place we can discuss things out loud and nobody will ask us to slow down our voices. Thanks again for sharing good tips to understand medical stuffs. Thanks for being open for discussion on comparison of religions. You are a good Christian (I forgot you are Catholic or else ouch) and I can say you are a great person with broad general knowledge. When you literally knows a lot about Islamic history as well - all those empires, most of prophets, the Islamic ways of life yada yada - I am so impressed.
Being an Asian just like me, I think that's what make you stay closer to Malaysians than others. Haha. Thanks for being late to school just like I did. Thanks for sitting next to me in many classes. Thanks for giving moral supports during the hard times.
I'm still learning to appreciate friendship, so please understand I'm not that good to express myself. :)
Do keep in touch after we graduate soon. I wish you all the best wherever you may settle down in the future - Germany or return to Taiwan. Do invite me and the rest of us for your wedding. Haha.
 |
| Awesome snacks. |
No worries about the snacks. They are awesome, I already tried the two on the right and the remaining is the cake. Thanks for even checking the ingredients before giving them to me :D
p/s - I am having #finalyearsyndrome now when I feel like taking pictures of random things around me even though it is just a tree, normal tree.

Gifts From Lebanon :D
October 7, 2016
This happened less than a month ago, just few days before I flew back to Malaysia.
Did you guys know a Facebook (FB) group named Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM)? This is one of my favorite place to spend my time on FB. Hmm, I can say FB is more meaningful for me with the existence of this group. Hehe.
I had the experience of meeting a lot of cool people from this group, hmm better to say backpackers. :D It may sound weird to you, like I'm meeting random strangers. But, don't worry. Before I met anyone from that group, I will do basic check up on his / her FB. Ouch. Just for precautions. If the backpackers are guys, usually I will update the tour to my parents and close friends.
 |
| They are so sweet :) |
Oh yeah, Lebanon is called as Lubnan for Malaysians. I'm not familiar with this country. Embarrassingly, I need to check the map to know its location though. T_T It shares the border with Syria and Palestine.
I feel good meeting new people, especially the one outside my course circle. Like, no medicine talks, no hospital experiences. I do share a bit of my life journey here in Czech.
So far, I met many backpackers from aviation, a few from engineering, banking, education as well. If I accidentally met any Malaysians around Prague on the spot, I don't know why I love to offer myself to take them around (if I'm free that time though). :D
 |
| Meet Abg Wan (red shirt) & Qayum. Photobombed by another tourist. |
The funny thing was they didn't even know each other before this, yet they travel together. :D See, that's backpacking style. Haha.
Oh yea, they are Malaysians. Qayum is the one working in Lebanon, while Abg Wan works in Malaysia and they met in Amsterdam :D
p/s - If you guys are coming to Prague, please let me know :) We can meet up and I can guide you around if needed.

Belajar Dari Kisah Pesakit Fibroid Rahim
October 6, 2016
Sekarang tengah rotation Obstetrics & Gynecology (O&G), memang ulang baca hadam faham hafal topik-topik dalam O&G untuk beberapa minggu ni. Memang menarik kaum wanita ni sampaikan kena ada department sendiri. :) Cuma, sama macam di Malaysia rasanya, rata-rata doktor kat department O&G kat hospital sini majoriti lelaki. T_T Boleh dikira dengan jari berapa kali saya jumpa / dapat belajar dengan doktor perempuan.
 |
| Hospital | 7am |
Kisah benar ni diceritakan oleh doktor yang mengajar saya. Tapi saya olah sikit untuk privasi.
Ada seorang gadis (Nur) berumur dalam lingkungan 20 tahun, doktor diagnose dia dengan fibroid rahim (uterine fibroid). Fibroid ni common je cumanya kita semua tak perasan sebab biasanya takde simptom apa-apa pun. Punca fibroid ni tak dapat dipastikan tapi dalam kajian-kajian, dikatakan dipengaruhi dengan ketidakstabilan hormon.
Ia sejenis benign tumor (ketumbuhan yang bukan kanser) kat rahim dan kesannya pada wanita tu bergantung pada kedudukan tumor tu.

Ni pulak bentuk rahim wanita. Rasanya semua ada belajar basic reproductive systems masa sekolah kan? Tahu kan mana uterus (rahim), ovary, fallopian tube, vagina, cervix kan? :)
Di antara 4 kedudukan fibroid, yang submucosal fibroid agak memberi kesan pada wanita tu terutamanya kuantiti haid yang sangat banyak dan ganggu proses nak mengandung. Dalam kes Nur ni, ditakdirkan dalam rahim dia ada banyak fibroid - bukan seketul je tapi berketul-ketul. Nur ni tak rasa sakit apa-apa pun, cumanya masa medical check-up, secara tak sengaja doktor jumpa fibroid ni.
Jadinya sebab Nur akan masuk fasa kahwin, fasa nak mengandung yada yada, doktor sarankan untuk buang fibroid ni. Cuma, agak tricky sebab banyak kuantitinya kan. Procedur ni dipanggil myomectomy - biasanya dibuat pada orang muda pada masa yang sama, nak jaga kesuburan. Kalau orang yang dah berumur 50tahun macam tu, biasanya disarankan untuk buang rahim (hysterectomy).

Lepas myomectomy, doktor sarankan Nur untuk cuba mengandung secepat mungkin sebab risiko fibroid datang balik tu tinggi. Malangnya, takde rezeki Nur mengandung.
Selepas 10 tahun, Nur disahkan ada fibroid lagi, dan kuantitinya sama banyak macam sebelum ni. Rahim Nur memang dah pelik sangat rupa dia - kesan operation buang fibroid sebelum ni campur dengan kehadiran fibroid baru. Doktor terangkan pasal kebarangkalian untuk hysterectomy (buang rahim) tapi Nur merayu untuk cuba buang fibroid tu sahaja. Jadinya doktor cuba lagi mana yang termampu untuk selamatkan rahim Nur - untuk kali kedua.
Sekali lagi myomectomy dibuat, tapi kali ni dengan risiko tinggi rahim mungkin perlu dibuang. Alhamdulillah, doktor berjaya buang seberapa banyak fibroid yang boleh tanpa perlu buang rahim.
Tapi doktor tak dapat bagi jaminan pun yang Nur akan mampu mengandung.

Beberapa tahun lepas tu, Nur datang balik ke hospital. Dan jeng jengggg. Nur mengandung!
Bukan satu baby, tapi kembar!
Doktor yang rawat Nur ni memang kagum habis dengan keajaiban ni. Rahim yang disangka peluang untuk mengandung tu terlalu nipis, tapi kun fayakun terjadi jugak.
Doktor tu tanya kitorang, "So, what do you think of the moral of this story?"
Pastu dia yang jawab.
Doctors are just normal human beings. We can try our best, we can expect things within our limits of thinking, we can recommend procedures of what we think the best for the patients. But, everything turns back to the Highest One up there. God.
Dalam perubatan ni, ada satu term - prognosis. Prognosis ni ialah anggaran sejauh mana seseorang tu mampu sihat selepas kena penyakit. Contoh orang yang ada kanser otak - kebanyakkannya doktor akan letakkan sebagai poor prognosis. Boleh jadi ditakdirkan, pesakit tu mampu bertahan lebih dari apa yang dijangka. Dan kadang-kadang ada jugak penyakit yang good prognosis tapi berakhir dengan kematian tiba-tiba.
Kat sini kita boleh muhasabah diri yang sesungguhnya manusia hanya mampu merancang, tapi Allah yang menentukan semuanya. :)
Berlapang dada dengan dunia, sebab akhirat lebih utama. :)
p/s - Maaf lah kalau tak faham, saya menaip ni pun dah nak tersengguk T_T
Till next post insyAllah.
Assalamualaikum
