morning walk

cute tak sliper strawberry saya????
today i woke up early though it's my off day. i guess we can't change a habit easily right?
and i've been longing to go to beach since yesterday.
don't know why. maybe i miss the wave.
or maybe the way those smooth sands under my feet.
i woke up at 6am, but after Subuh i fell asleep.
when suddenly at 8am, my 'abg angkat' msg me and 'force' me to go to jog at the beach and buy fresh fish afterwards.
which is exactly what i did this morning!!
truthfully, i'm a little bit tired of putting on weight and being 'bullied' by him.
so i drove to Pantai Puteri..
it is not a beautiful as Bira beach in Makassar, but i still love the smell!
love this shot. especially the bird!
lots of dog prints here. but luckily i didn't encounter any dogs at all during my walk
after the walk (i didn't actually jog.. ehe~), i bought ikan kembung (fresh from the sea!) and nasi lemak with Kopi O.
feels good to get out of bed and do something useful.
i think i'm going to do it again someday.
if only there was a beach as beautiful as Bira..
oh how i miss Bira beach
at least x cantik mcm bira pun kalau ade yg cntik mcm kt samalona ni pon best!!!
saya suka pasir pantai putih!!
p.s. cari2 gambar Bira xjumpe la pulak. pdhl dah tiga kali pergi... hiks
p.s.s. my mum thought i had a problem cuz i wrote in my facebook status dat i'm walking alone at the beach early in the morning. sweet kan mama saya? ^.^

last few days in Makassar

i've been in this hot and humid Makassar for almost five and a half years. i dare not say dat i hate this place, for this is where i've learnt so much in my life. and no matter what, being in Makassar is one of my important page in my life. The last time i met my family was a year ago....... and finally, my family is here! yeay!
my mum almost didn't recognise me as i've gain a lot of weight (kene aerobic la macam ni.. hiks)
anyway, my lil bros were so excited to take a ride on this 'bento' (like a beca + motorcycle) 

alip was very shy at first... but see how excited alip was during dinner!
amie was so curious to taste a 'bebek goreng' (fried duck)..
 nyum nyum....
i really like this rice basket. so unique lah
actually, my family come here to Makassar for my graduation day.. which is today!!!
taddaaaaa.... now i am officially dr. Ainul Rhyshikin Yusoff
taking pics with mama, babah, alieff and amie at the hotel
mama and babah at the VIP seats (our faculty gave Malaysian parents VIP seats) hehe~
me and my colleagues with our mother.
our graduation is actually on the 31st of Dec, so most of our parents had planned to come to Makassar on the 29th of Dec. but last Thursday, our Uni CHANGE our graduation date to 29th of Dec, causing only some of our parents to change their flight date. and their reason to change the date is dat they did not REALIZE dat 31st of Dec is a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. weird eyh? whateverlah.
amie made this card for me... and everyone sign it... i like this a lot! 
thank u everyone ^.^

p.s. sad to leave Makassar, especially my dear. he had helped me a lot, especially when my parents is here.... but i had to believe that everything happens for a reason, and ALLAH knows the best...

bila bola letak kat hati dan bila nasib ditentukan oleh sotong

stress.
itu kata2 semua mahasiswa malaysia di Makassar. dari student tahun pertama sampai yang wisuda (graduate) hari ni, semua reaksi sama bila ditanyakan tentang perasaan mereka berada di sebuah negara yang sedang marah dengan negara kami. ini adalah antara reaksi mereka di facebook....
nur halima ishak : meminjam kata seorg teman..'saya meletakkan bola di kaki bukan di hati'...teman2 bukankah ukhwah n persaudaraan itu lbh bnilai di sisi Allah dari sebiji bola yg xbnyawa?? hurmmm...
 nachia rahim : dokter ooh dokter.. X reti ke nk diffrntiate btwn work n prsonal ?? Its jst football.. Fanaticism really make me sick !!
nurul iman : We were furious when people did and said bad things about our race & country, until the bond we tied were broken, love become hatred and sitting side by side seems to be the last thing we want to do. But do we feel the same when our religion was treated the same? We ignore the purity that unites us for the sake of our own selfishness.
 memang tak dapat dibayangkan. ada yang kami anggap teman cakap negara kami 'malayshits'. dan ada yang nak 'tembak jaga' semua koas Malaysia. apa salah kami????
apa dosa kami sampai nak marah2 kami?
should u hate us just because of some men running on the field kicking ball? and some stupid people who we didn't even know of?
renungkan kembali kata2 teman saya iman tadi,  do we feel the same when our religion was treated the same?
be professional, lah. please. we are doctors. we treat patient equally. and we treat our colleague equally. should we declare war just cuz of soccer?
p.s. pernah jumpe duplicate paul si gurita???

p.s.s. selamat menonton second leg AFF. tak sabar nak tau final macam mane. apa pun hasilnya, aku cume mengharapkan kesejahteraan antara Malaysia dan Indonesia....   semoga kita akan tetap menjadi sahabat selamanya.

random rainbows

 
hey there!
what a lovely morning today, right?
i just wanna talk randomly today.
cuz i've been dying to update my blog but my wireless internet is so damn slow. *sigh
anyway, there are three hospitals near my house. 
but this one is the most beautiful, (and expensive too).  
it is called private care center.
even clinical students weren't allowed to go there.
i took this picture when i'm walking to the Wahidin's public hospital which is located just in front of this hospital.
i enjoy my morning walk very much. gonna miss dat soon. hehe..
another thing i'm gonna miss is dis....
i'm madly in love with froyo right now (yup, froyo, not frodo)
fyi, froyo is frozen yogurt
well, in case u didn't know =)
one of my fav place is Yoguville, which is located at Mtos.
my fav toppings are oranges and rainbow sprinkles... 
oh my, i'm salivating right now...
gonna get one this evening. lah. ehehe~

have you ever heard of Nike Ardilla?
i never knew her but there's so many restaurants with her name.
and this one is filled with her clothes and mannequin!
sorry for bad quality pics. i took this with my 1.3 megapixel camera in my phone.
hehe..
there's 3 live sized doll dat looks like her but i forgot to take a pic.
i love her boots so much dat i even said to myself 
'what a waste to let a mannequin to wear such a beautiful thing'
ok, i sounds crazy right now...
haha..
actually i am still not so sure whether i can grad or not this dec.
i've finished all of my clinical, but as i get my result a little late, and the date to register is closed already... well, you can guess lah what happen next.
but i'm still hoping i can grad this dec. 
please pray for me..
please...

rindu....

tak terasa dah hari ke 18 Ramadhan.
tak lame lagi nak raye dah.
sedihlaaa..
xnak raye boleyh tak?
raye tahun lepas sangat best.
tapi raya tahun ni hambar sebab sekali lagi (dan buat kali terakhirnya) aku sambut raya di perantauan.
sepatutnya aku boleh cuti seminggu, tapi tak nak. rasanya lebih sanggup duty kat hospital dari duduk rumah. nanti sedih.

aku teringat persiapan raya tahun lepas..... kalau raya kat kampung tak sah kalau tak buat lemang.
lemang sebelum dibakar (aku yang paling expert masukkan daun dlm buluh taw). ehe~
salai ayam untuk masak rendang
babah tengah bersihkan halaman rumah nenek(aku dgn amie berposing je)


lepas tu masa pagi raya, semua berebut nak seterika baju. kadang2 malam aku dah iron semua baju. malas nak kecoh pagi2. kalau lambat mesti nenek akan cakap 'doreh doreh' (deras atau cepat)
aku dgn nenek =)
pagi2 biasanya makan lemang dengan rendang sebelum pergi sembahyang raya. lepas sembahyang raya, mesti semua dah beratur nak mintak duit raya. 
tapi bukan itu yang aku rindu. (walaupun lepas ni dah tak layak dapat duit raya).
aku rindu pada sesi bermohon maaf. 
rasa sebak je bila teringat tahun ni tak dapat cium tangan mama dengan babah masa hari raya... hiks....
oklah. tak nak sedih2. 
lepas sesi mohon maaf, biasanya kami bergambar sama2. hehe
my beloved family

habis sesi bergambar, aku akan susun kuih raya kat ruang tamu. 
alieff suka 'curik' kuih raya kat depan, jadi mama bagi dia satu tupperware untuk dia sorang. haha
tengah hari hari raya pertama, kami sekeluarga akan ke kubur arwah nenek dan atuk belah babah. lepas tu beraya kat umah keluarga babah yang lain.  
memandangkan kami semua dah 'besar', biasanya naik dua kereta baru selesa. 
tapi takpe. ada 'driver' baru. hehehe.
my bro, arieff a.k.a. our new driver
hari raya ketiga wajib ke kampung babah sebab ada kenduri. masa tu meriah sangat2. 
kami masak sama2, main sama2, dan yang paling best, semua pakai baju warna sama!
cucu arwah Ali Bedah. tahun lepas warna coklat. tahun ni merah. wow. mesti gempak kan warna merah?
tahun ni aku dengan arieff tak beraya kat rumah (arieff baru berangkat ke US 2 minggu lepas. he's taking Chem Engineering at Ohio Statu University for two years). 
mama jangan sedih okay? kan adik2 lain ada.
nanti malam raya kita boleyh webcam sama2. ehehehe~

 
arghh... rindunya kampung !!!
raya tahun ni tak boleh menangis. 
kan raye terakhir kat makassar.
kan, kan?

of rains and flour mills

don't look at my jeans. just focus at the blue thing dat i must wear to cover my shoe, okay? (i'll telll you the story later. ehe~)

today i went to Forensic department to take my result.
the secretary there was 'forcing' me to buy Tupperware products from a catalog.
oh, my. those were things that my mum used to buy and i am not ready to buy dat kinda stuffs, okay.
unless i have my own home.
ehe~
anyway, being a fifth year student makes me day dream so much that sometimes it makes me frustated.
this few days, i 'work' at the UNHAS policlicnic and do some medical checkup up on juniors. (yeah, batch 2010 is already here and i am still here! urgh!!)
all of them asked the same question.
and all of them gave me the same remarks "oh, so you're going to finish soon la eyh?"
four months, okay. i am not going to finish study till another slow moving FOUR months!!
why did time past so slow?
i still got three departments to look forward to.
i still got four exams to go.
oh, how i wish i can finish everything A.S.A.P.!
anyway, today i also go to the Flour Mill to take some letters. it was horrible. the workers there need so much words to be convinced about my exam procedures.
i almost cry (AGAIN??) and they left me thinking, do i have to be really2 patient to negotiate with people?
i had to admit that my research at the flour mill had gave me so much experience.
from experience on how to interact with people (different than talking to patients, okay. cuz this time i am the one who NEED something. hehe)
and i even got to enter the flour mill!! wee~~~
come come.. let's sneak a peek at the flour mill

wow, that's a lots of flour!!! (mintak sikit nak buat kuih raye boleyh taks?)
more crates waiting to be filled

the flour mills operates for 24 hours a day (now who said only doctors work 24/7?????)


and they got lots and lots of machines (i jadi orang jakun tak pernah masuk kilang. haha)
i took this picture foy my research. my lecturer said this sign is important. if there's a fire or something, people must follow this sign (but are'nt the guy in the pic is moving towards the wall? hmmm)


oh ya.. back to this pic.
there was an area where i must cover my shoes like this.
at first i thought i had to put it on my head.
and one of the worker laugh hysterically at me. damn. malu gila kowt! huh. sengal eyh aku nih?

when i was on my way home, it was raining heavily.
i feel so sad to be inside the pete2 which have no air conditioning and always left the door open.
arghhh...... if only i have a car..
sigh....


but u know what?
i will never ever forget all of these great experiences in Makassar ^^

07 July 2010

hye hye^^

i look at my blog and it seems that my life was dull and nothing excited happens. but actually it's not. i DO have some fun. and recently, i went to celebrate my beloved best buddy, Ayu.
me and ayu. ehe~
Ayu's birthday was last month, but as we were so damn busy during Surgery, we celebrate it THREE weeks late! according to Indonesians' tradition, the birthday person had to pay for his/ her friends, which is very different with Malaysians. if i'm with my Malaysian friends, the birthday girl won't have to pay even a cent!
anyway, my mates during Surgery posting were really close to each other. this is because we had been together for almost three months, including those two hard weeks at the ER. so, we've decided to celebrate Ayu's birthday at POPSA, which is so beautiful and romantic! a restaurant at the seaside, where we can see the sunset, with cozy sofa's and chairs, and sentimental songs in the air. wow, that place is perfect!

me, ayu, kak ira and kak dian

and this is our birthday girl. 24, huh? ooppssss
after that, we went to photo studio and take pics. lots of pics. huhu.... narciss is not a word to describe us. we were all way too craaaaaaazzzzyyyyyyyyy to be captured in the films!
 okay okay. guess u guys wanna puke rite now, huh??? haha.. and believe me, those were only 1/3 from all of our pics!!!!!!!!
p.s. note the flowery girls wearing long dresses. we look beautiful, rite? LOL
and then we went karaoke-ing. oh my, it was so great to song our hearts out, but i did most of the shouting. haha. surgery is so damn stressfull and we let it all out that night. and of course, more photo- snapping and 'modelling'. ahaks.....

 
Ayu and Johan seems to really 'menghayati' their song!
 i like this mural. ok, i know my pose is weird. haha
 Ayu, are you thinking of Mr.....??????
you know, that day i had so much fun that i'm afraid i might cry after that. but those three months in surgery had been so excruciating (remember when we slept on tiles and only sleep for three hours everyday?)....
but thankfully, it is over now. now i'm in Public Health department, which is the most boring subject in Medicine. but i dare not say that it is not important. for example, today i went to the hospital, but not to check on patients. i check the dustbins, the availability of soaps and running water, antiseptics and so on. i feel like some health officer! haha.... interesting. curing people is not only by medicament, but we also had to make sure the hygiene and the universal precaution, right?
later i had to do some research at flour factory... this is so damn different from other department.. but i think i'm going to enjoy this. gotta stay positive. i'm aiming to graduate on December! please oh please pray that everything went smoothly........

oklah, gotta chow...
buhbyeeeeeee................
