Assalam'laikum..been tagged by Balqis. Well dear Bal, this post is especially for you..here you go!! ;)

1) Do you think you’re hot?
In some ways. Hehe.

2) Upload favourite pictures of yourself.
3) Why do you like these pictures?

I get to know how I look like 2 decades ago.

I love that red snowcap. Macam besar je untuk saye. Hehe.

Kakak mithali :P

I like the colour blend. It'd be more perfect if abah and mama were in the picture.

A candid picture taken when we were giggling. Candid photos show the real you :)

The Prodigy board members, all smiling gleefully. We were so relieved that at long last alhamdulillah the magazine was done.

On the EuroStar train to Zurich. Captured by Atique. I like the reflection of me on the window.

Eh alamak ni bukan gambar sayelaa!! Hehehe. But I'd love to have a picture like this in the future (bertudungla of course) *wink*wink*

4) When was the last time you ate pizza?
Ermm a month back I think. But my roommate will be baking one this eve insyaAllah. Yippee!!

5) The last song you listened to?
Zamilooni - Native Deen (the one playing when you read my blog).

6) What are you doing right now besides this?
I've got piles of ONG notes and books that need reading infront of me. Haha.

7) What name would you prefer besides yours?
Mohd Ismail Hamzah? Ooopsss :P :P ..okay okay, that would be 'beside' mine, not 'besides', hehe. I like the name Marsha Qistina though. Thought it'd be a nice name for a kid. But then I found out that Liza Hanim named her daughter the same name too *__* tiru oranggg

11) Introduce number 3
He blogs most about family issues, relationships and religious matters. Already has his own family :)

12) How about number 4?
Tatau sebab tatau. Hehe.

Guess I'm done. Need to face the books again!! My exam is on 8th Jan insyaAllah. Do pray that we'd pass with flying colors :)

ps: It's Awal Muharam today, and Gaza is again, burning. Don't forget to pray for the safety of our Palestinian brother and sisters...

Sarah si pemalas update blog :P

Assalamualaikum..Eid Mubarak brothers and sisters!!

Well, well now..if it wasn't for the sudden post (yes, yes it's true I have been labeled Sarah si pemalas update blog ngenge) but seriously, my fingertips couldn't jot in any new thoughts at all. I blame myself having read less fictional books (they help cultivate our imaginary thinking you know) and do pardon the i-don't-know-if-you-realize-my-vocabs-are-getting-poor [mode]. Not that I couldn't think of any..but the writer's cap didn't really want to switch itself on. Huhu.

I guess it's no use of blaming the weather because up to now, since my first year in Ukraine, this has been the 'warmest' winter ever. For at some days it'd reach 24 celcius (can you believe that?) and rarely would the wind be as cold as 2 celcius. Yes, no excuse of 'sejukla saye malas nak tulis' [mode].

However, some weird events did dwell upon me this past one month. One of them being my nasty mood swings. I guess it's no harm in talking about it because it's physiological and we're all grown-ups and most peopling reading my blog (if there is any :P) are medical students cum doctor-to-be's. Anyway yes I am referring to the none other PMS (premenstrual syndrome). It got into me so severe that at times I'd be munching bars of chocolates (snickers, twix, kitkat) and a box of ferrerro rocher and they didin't last longer than 3 days! Huhu. And to add to that, I didn't want the chocolates self-purchased - I wanted them to be bought by SOMEONE else. There and then. Ya Rabbiiiii *__*

Not only that, my sense of jealousy was to the max!! I know this is rather open but I even felt jealous when seeing my fiance speak with his classmates during lectures and on their way to class. It wasn't just a mere twitch of jealousy - it was the kind when you felt like punching the wall and stumping your way back home and all of a sudden you realize that teardrops are coming out. Massively. Huhu. I also read at Ummusaif's blog that 'women who typically experience premenstrual syndrome may have more extreme mood swings when they're pregnant'. O-ooo...

And that, my sisters, signifies why we should also recite ma'thurat during ma'dzurah (menses) ..arasso? ^__^

I have a month's time to kill before the Final Exam that'd be insyaAllah in early January. Do pray that we'd all pass with flying colours. Because I really really really want to have my feet laid on the grounds of...

1. Nottingham!! Yes the place where I was born (kire macam balik kampungla ni keke :P). I'd be staying at Pakteh's and would get to babysit Aina and Kaisa (tak sabaq nak jumpa depaa!! hehe)


2. Scotland!! Juga berjalan bersama pakteh sefamily dan insyaAllah akan main ski jugak..weee!!! By the way the picture above is Dundee, kampung kedua tempat saya membesar..hehe..

Oklah, I better get back to reading. My current cycle is ENT (ear nose and throat) and guess what my lecturer discovered. Upon examination, he found nodules on my vocal cord that depicts that I 'talk too much and too loud' ...so I'd have to be a bit ayu after this huhu. And next, he said that my extenal auditory meatus (ear canal) isn't that curved as an adult's..it is more horizontal like a baby's. *__*.

Well it shows that I'm special, right? Ngehehe.

The above picture is a bowl of chicken soup. What made it special was because it was made and sent by my fiance when I was 4 days sick a week ago. He rarely cooks alone (dia tak suke masak and tak berapa tau masak tapi tolong roommate die masak je :P ) and he learnt the recipe just a day before!! Tapi bile tengok cara pemotongan nampakla gaye potongan org yg baru belajar masak sendiri ngehe :P tapi sedaappp!!! Lepas nie bolehla belajar masak benda laen pulak ^__^

Am trying hard to be like the women in the sentence.

Till then, salaam... :)

I've been tagged!!

Salam...

I have been tagged!! Rarely do I get such opportunites (poyonye ngengenge). The tagger (Balqis) asks me to display my desktop wallpaper, and here it is...tadaaa!!!~~


I like this picture because of the color scheme, the wordings, the message. Each glimpse somehow soothes the heart. Its like...having a sip of strawberry green tea everytime looking at it!! Hehe :)

Don't think I'd be tagging other people..coz I simply don't know who to tag..

Later!! ^__^

Istanna Suwayya! Fi eh kaman..?

Assalam'Laikum...

If my blog was a rack of books, I bet it'd have cobwebs dangling everywhere by now. For it has been past a month since I last wrote a post. Lazy me! You see, the winter-lazy-fever has once again creeped its way down my nerves. Shush..shussshhhhh!! Go away. I really don't need you..not when the final exam is coming up in two months time *__*

At current, I am way into a few books; Ayat-ayat Cinta, Kerana Cinta Bertasbih (as mentioned in my previous post) and Hidayah Cinta. These three books propose the same message; that His love outbounds the love for others; and that no love remains as eternal as His. Jagalah Cinta Allah, nescaya Allah akan menjaga cintamu. They also have lotsa Hadith and Qur'an Tafseers - good food for the heart. And yes, I do need them, at this very moment, no doubts I do. Sometimes you just feel so gloomy and down, and you feel so far from Him.

This month had been a month of me juggling my life with conflicts of my own - of questions unanswered, confusion, hesitations and such, and of thinking ahead into the future. You have a big jigsaw puzzle in front - you think you see the picture clear enough, but some spots remain unearthed. At times it feels as if you have some telepathy with your dearest ones, and you believe that they have those mutual feelings too. And sometimes, they just do...

Wahai orang yang lembut hatinya...
Sudah lama aku selalu mengecap pahit
Kala beroleh penderitaan
Aku tiada sesiapa pun melainkan Allah di hatiku
Tapi kau datang dengan cahaya...
Aku ingin menjadi yang halal bagimu
Yang kau kecup keningnya
Kau hapus air matanya...

Dari orang yang selalu merindukan cahayamu...
Sarah

Wallahua'lam...

Memory Lane revisited.

Assalamualaikum...

First and foremost, I would like to wish all muslimeen wal muslimaat out there a very happy and blessed Ramadhan. May this month be a good platform for us to better ourselves in search of Jannah. A very Happy 51st Merdeka too to all Malaysians, staying local and abroad...and last but never the least, a very big Happy Birthday to my fiance who will be turning 23 this 1st September =) (ceeewah dah bole panggil fiance :P hehehe) a year older, a year wiser, and a year nearer for us to graduate (*wink*wink*) and may you learn lotsa stuff, be it academically-based, house chore-related (erkk) ilmu akhirat and vice-versa this coming year..ganbatte!!

For the coming four semesters I have pondered upon a new way of studying. The goal isn't just to ace with 5's, but also to learn the Malaysian way..in other words, to read more International and Malaysian Medical books, apart from the Russian's (because some of them differ by an inch..but an inch in medicine is THAT crucial). As quoted by the local doctors.. "Awk nie nanti nak kerja kat sini kan? Jadi kenala belajar cara sini!". Huhuhu.

At long last, after 4 painstakingly kinda-long years, I had the opportunity to perform my solat tarawih at home..can you believe that?!! The feelings were a mix of joy-ebullient-anxious..no words can describe them best!! Till I nearly felt like bringing along my camera with me and taking pictures of all the saffs..bet if I do they'd think I'm a weirdo. Haha.

Past a few days back, I was tuning into Flyfm and overheard a poll on 'The Most Powerful Man-made Invention over the last century'. Lots of feedbacks were given, and a listener called and named the 'camera' as the so-called paraphernalia.

Coincidentally, dad just bought a 3-in-1 printer-scanner-photocopying machine, and after mum did some spring-cleaning, she discovered lots of photo albums, some having photos that dated since dad was nine!! Apparently a number of them got ruined, perhaps because of the humid air. So, dad said that the coming school holiday's homework was to scan the whole lot!! Hohoho.

Well oh well..after some scavenging and rummaging, look what I've found!! Jeng-jeng-jeng!! The good old days revealed... ^__^

Me when I was merely one @ Notts

learning to crawl

mari belajar solat~

beraya di perantauan

was I yawning..?or what?

Posing with my lunchbox in front of Park Place Primary School (see, told you I had the talent nurtured within :P)

My Home-made birthday cake that mama baked!! (the cream-spread was a wee bit messy..but thumbs up for mama who made the delicious cake all by herself =))

Notice that I'm wearing a badge written 'Happy Birthday'...it is a custom for us school kids to do so so that at school everyone would be greeting us with Happy Birthdays at the top of their voices..hahaha

These pictures make me want to visit my childhood place so much..Dundee, here I come!!(kalau ade duitlaa... *__*)

Will be flying off to Ukraine in 4 days time InsyaAllah..I so don't want to leave home =(
