THE INNER ANIMAL IN ME

Whenever asked what my favorite animal is, or if u could choose to be one, what kind of animal I will be, my answer will always be a HORSE! No I am not an equestrian (its obvious is it?) neither a regular horse rider. But I always like horse. Horse always look strong, in fact they are strong. They are fast. They seem wild but are tame in certain way. And they are handsome (even a female one looks handsome right?). I superlike it when they run –gosh horse looks super strong and sturdy when they run. 

Gagah kan? -pic google

Anyway why talk about animal out of sudden? I did a sorta personality test the other day on animal stuffs, so emerge this entry. But we’ll come to that one later. Back to the animal story. Yes I love animals. They are also makhluk Allah so what not to be love about them? However being an animal lover I am, I only love to LOOK at them. Touching them? Hell no. This is mainly because animal is unpredictable. One time they like u, and the next, they suddenly bite u. Creepy right? So yeah, I just love watching and looking at them. It reminds me of Al-Hakim (Maha Bijaksana). Imagine how many species of animals is there on earth? Each is very unique and carries its own responsibility. So yes, looking at them is one of the easiest and deepest tazkirah u can get. Also, they bring tranquility (well some of them ;) ). 

Back to the animal test story. My dear friend kakak Sarah Rahmat share on Facebook the other day about the quiz. Its called what is the inner animal in you. It was a gloomy, boring, sickly (kan I demam) weekend, so a light and fun quiz wont do any harm, no? The quiz was cast by the worldwildlife (WWF) website (but the quiz is no longer available now). Hey guess what’s the inner animal in me? No its not horse. Well I am an EMPEROR PENGUIN! Should I yeay? ;). A total upside down from a horse lol! Tapi penguin cute kan? Kan? Kan? ;)

The result ;)

 Hihi kak sarah kata it describe me well! Highlight: YOU BOND EASILY WITH OTHERS AND A GREAT TEAM PLAYER, SHARING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE COMMON GOOD. Haaa siapa kawan dengan kite untung la kan lol (ok siapa nak muntah dipersilakan hihihihihi)! But I think bond easily with others tu tak berapa betol kot. I am a shy person, so let u know ;). 

Berdiri macam cover album boyband je. Imagine Backstreetboys berdiri mcm ni. Haha kelakar x saya? -pic google

Haa in real life, emperor penguin is called emperor because they are the largest of all penguins. The unique thing about an emperor penguin is once the female laid the egg, it promptly leaves it behind. Sound irresponsible right? No no I’m not finish yet. They went for hunting trip looking for foods for as long as 2 months, traveling 50 miles *background song lagu imran ajmain seribu tahun: relaku mengejarmu seribu batu jauh lagi…*. Hey imagine penguin jalan 50 miles (approximately 85 km). They are slow walker (yeah that’s me I have small steps ;)). Tak ke penat tu? When female penguins return to the breeding site, they bring a belly full of food that they regurgitate for the newly hatched chicks. Oh besar sungguh jasa ibu kan?

Then what the male emperor do? Well unlike sesetengah lelaki durjana yang tidak menghargai isteri dan anak, male emperor stay back protecting the egg while the female hunt for foods (eh macam terbalik pulak kan?). The way they protect the egg is also very unique. They keep the newly laid eggs warm, but they do not sit on them, as many other birds do. Males stand and protect their eggs from the elements by balancing them on their feet and covering them with feathered skin known as a brood pouch (ouch mesti lenguh kan?). During this two-month bout of babysitting the males eat nothing! Oh mesti mereka kurus *jeles*.When the female come back then only they go to the sea to look for foods. It is said that the male emperor could lose half of their weight in the process (50% weight loss in two months is regard as significant weight loss. They need nutrition intervention!). Oh besar sungguh jasa ayah kan? All the info is credited to National Geography website.

Eh besides me my Optom friend Ain is also an emperor penguin. Yeah high five Ain! Kak sarah, on the other hand, is an iguana. Lol. Other Optom friend Kakdilah pulak is a kangaroo (I think its obvious lol!). 

Well I end this entry with the two animals that I don’t like. Don’t ever bring them near me I warn you. They are lizard and frog. Don’t ever!

ON POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND HAPPY LIFE

Yeah I have an emotional breakdown last week. That was so immature of me to share it outloud here *sheepish*. But hey, that’s life right? You can never be happy all the time. Well I kick off the week with a new spirit, new motivation, and I could not be any happier. My previous group could see the different side of me –last week I was so grumpy and hot-tempered, but this week, I am smiling all the way! Marah student pon marah-marah sayang saja.

The reason to be happy? Easy. SELF-REFLECTION. I reflect back everything that has happened, and looking at it from positive side. See the glass half full! ;). The mistakes that students made might be the reason for me to be a better teacher, and for them to be a better student. Easy right? ;)

Well of course there are other reasons for me to be happy. I am not that great to acquire all the positive energy by myself. Heh. 

1. Clinical Nutrition Workshop: Managing the BIG Problem at Institute of Health Management Bangsar 18-19 Nov 2011

I am a young, new dietitian who really looking forward for this kind of course. We got updates, discussion, and meeting with lots of great people. Yeay I love meeting and get to know inspiring people. It’s just the best feeling ever. The focus of the workshop is to update on management of obesity patient in surgical and critical care. Basically they were discussing ASPEN, ESPEN, Canadian Guidelines and stuffs that we were already familiar with. But when it was delivered by a group of expert, from specialist to senior dietitian to pharmacist, it was indeed very beneficial and different as compared to when you read the guidelines on your own.

2. Gathering with My Babes…errr and Two Gentlemen

It was so nice to meet your friends in different atmosphere, now that we are dietitians. Mimi is now dietitian in Pantai Hosp Cheras, Nadirah in Hosp Hulu Terengganu, Mazu in HUKM, Ilman in Selayang Hosp, Farid (he is our senior, but he’s a friend too right?) in Hosp Ipoh, and of course me and Miya from IIU. We could see Mimi’s baby bump, Miya is now happily married to non-other than our friend Iqbal, Mazu is now enganged, also to an Iqbal (dietitian suka nama Iqbal kot ehem2), Nadi flew all the way from Terengganu to KL, and me being single and very much available (haha I have to highlight that no?). Trust me it’s very cool to see how different we are now but at the same time still the same.

3. Jumpa Syauqi

Adoii this boy really melt my heart. Very adorable. Very manja. Very cute. Very talkative. Kuat makan haha.  A perfect nephew I would say. I stay at my sister’s house for 1 day after the workshop, so dapat spend quite some time with Qi. See as his name imply, he gave me a lot of vibrant and positive ‘qi’. Love u boy!

anak soleh dan bijak

4. Sharing is Caring

 

Well I am a person who look-all-over-seeking-for-advice-when-I-have-problem kind of person. I am a person who need to share my feelings whenever I felt down. Hence advices from my dear friends –Mimi, Mazu, Ilman, Nadi, Miya and also Iqbal really help a lot. Thanks friends.

5. Harimau Muda Get Us the Gold Medal for Sea Game

They were hot! Black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow! Haha. It was a very interesting game. Adrenaline rush all the way. We got live updates in Facebook by so many amateur commenters. Poor Fakri, he’s been cursed and kutuk all the way. But hey, his goal was the one who lead Malaysia to final, and eventually preserve the gold medal that we won last 2 years right? (Ilman pls note this I credited the winning to Fakri as well). But our hero during the final game? Oh Abam bad-a** Badd! 

Conclusion? When we have vibrant, positive energy, everything will go very smoothly. 2 days back one of my very best friend message me, she was very demotivated, down, depressed. I understood the feeling very well, as I were there before. Whenever u felt that way, always rationalize things, in other word, reflect. Things that we like, or we think the best for us, might not be the one. Allah knows best. Turn to Allah, He’s never far away, put your trust in Him, raise your hands and pray (Maher Zain). This song is indeed very true. Besides, look for things that will make u happy and keep u back on track. Insya Allah…

Well in the meantime, keep on smiling, because SMILE IS A CURVE THAT HELPS MAKE EVERYTHING STRAIGHT. 

senyum cantik2 macam bunga matahari ;)

CERITA PANG!!!

My dear friend share a good news on Facebook
The picture of her newborn baby girl
She looks so serene, so pure

The mother is non other than Nazihah Idris
My ex classmate in Kisas
5 Science 5 2003
We sit in the same group back then
5 persons per group
Besides me and Zihah we also have Humm, Nasfati Masngut and Anna in the group

Our group is in the front, middle of the class
And we were loud
With Nasfati always tried to be rebellious
And Hum always tried to advice her
And Zihah always been bullied by Nas
And me being the one who laugh
And Anna, who just shook her head seeing all the drama

We created a signature style to our group
Its PANG! (while lifting ur hand like u want to smack someone)
The story behind PANG?
Its a long and funny story
Let it remains our little secret, no?
I still laugh whenever I reminisced our memory
Yeah I am smiling while typing this

We love our Bahasa teacher, he is Cikgu Talib (aka Papa Munsyi)
Its funny how we competing with each other to read the puisi2 in KOMSAS
Because we like to imitate Cikgu Talib's style -bahasa baku with a little of ancient Malay accent
We were very naughty back then, indeed
But I never love BM as much as I do when Cikgu Talib taught us
And I never know why, but we always cari pasal with Ustazah Maslina, our Pendidikan Shariah Islamiah teacher
Dia garang jugak, tapi kita selalu nak tergelak bila dia marah
Yeah I know again, we were naughty
(but it a cute way, kan? hihihi)
Nak cerita pasal cerita zaman sekolah, memang banyak, takkan habis
Lets stop for now, kalau teringat lagi, kita cerita lagi

Looking at her baby, it hit me how time flies so fast
The rebellious Nas is very close to become a doctor now
The cute lil Hum is pursuing her masters in psychology
The quite Anna is an aerospace engineer, dont play2 haaa
The naughty Ija is now a dietitian ;)
The very gelabah Zihah has become a great teacher now (hope u dont find student like us ;))
And the greatest achievement ever, has become a mother

Congratulation Zihah
You gonna be a great mother, I always know that
Keep on inspiring people
Semoga anakanda awak menjadi anak solehah
May Allah bless
Amin...

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: REMINISCING FRIENDS!!!

One of my favorite Friends scene. Its a moo point...lol! Come to think of it, it do make sense. High up Jo!

P/S: Friends is one of my favorite sitcom, and it remains of the best sitcom ever. How I Met Your Mother is the 21st century of Friends, and it is also hilarious, but Friends is a lot funnier. I realized that there are quite a number of scene in HIMYM that was 'cilok' from Friends.

My very own FRIENDS. When we are together, we could be a lot funnier than Friends. From left Wawa (now in Sarawak), Fizah (OZ),  Ida (Kuala Tganu), Sal (Kuala Tganu/Marang), Farah (Sitiawan), Muni (Kuala Tganu), Saadah (Kedah), kite (Kuantan), Yayah (KB), Ainor (KB), Sab (OZ), Kakaksarah (NZ) and fizah kwn sab i tatau dia kat mane ;)

Utara, selatan, timur, barat, seberang laut, merentas benua, mana saja, semoga sentiasa dalam rahmat Allah, Friends...

MISSING THIS PLACE: G3.8C

COMPARTMENT C ;)

Saya merindui bilik ini

Bilik terbaik di blok G

Tingkap bilik ini ditinted oleh brother yang menghuni sebelumnya

Terima kasih brother, siapapun kamu, semoga bahagia

Kamu membuat hidup saya ceria, kerana bilik ini tidak panas

Jadi Ida dan Nawa suka sekali dtg ke sini sepulangnya dari kelas

Sambil makan pisang goreng keropok lekor dan air tebu pakcik cafe

Bilik ini berhadapan dgn padang bola, 

Juga boleh nampak court tenis dan volleyball 

Jadi ia medan terbaik menyanyi lagu tuai padi antara masak, intai 'mereka' antara nampak

(Oh beristighfar di dalam hati atas dosa2 lalu...)

Hujung minggu riuh saya menegur kawan2 yang membasuh kereta di bawah

Kereta saya? Hantar ke car wash saja ;)

Compartment C ini luas sedikit berbanding yang lain

Jadi ia port terbaik makan2 juga

Gosip2, tengok movie, baring2 dgn Ida, Sal dan Nawa

Kaksarah pon pengunjung utama, jika saya tak ke bilik dia

Mimi, Fiza, Miya, Farah, dan Mazu pon kerap muncul muka

We sure have great time before, have we?

Jadi ya, saya merindui tempat ini

Kerana bukan saja ia bilik terbaik, tapi ada banyak memori

Insya Allah akan kembali ke sini,

Bukan bilik ini secara khasnya 

Tapi saya akan kembali ke tempat itu

Ke Garden of Knowledge and Virtue

Walaupun tidak kembali ke bilik terbaik

Tapi saya akan selalu dekat dengannya, juga memorinya

;)

p/s hari ini mood menulis dalam bahasa melayu, sambil menanti berbuka mee goreng terbaik dan cucuq udang terbestest dgn housemates fantabulous ;)

A POEM TO A FRIEND

with wawa on my 22nd and her 23rd birthday

She is a very lovely lady

For so many years she has been with me

Coming back from class, she always comes to my room

We share story, happy or gloom

Lying on my bed, we have a little chat

About our future, what we gonna be, things we gonna get

She’s the hardworking ant, I’m the lazy cat

She helps me through hardships, and helps me decide

She is the beautiful rose, I am the bubbly lily

She was born on 12, and I am on 22 February

She wakes up early, only to later on wake me

She is skinny, and I’m the fatty (~sigh~)

She got lots of advices, and the one who listened is me

She looked serious, but always laughed to my comedy

Though we seems different, but that’s made us a ‘we’

For you Nawwarul Huda Zulkefli,

Don’t be sad don’t be gloomy

Because all this is a destiny

For Allah knows better than you and me

I am wishing u all the best, take this as a test

Lastly my dear wawa,

Remember, sabar itu syurga…

Love,

Ija
