..return of the jedi..

Hi blogger, its been awhile. I'm 32 now, married, have 2 kids and i'm a medical officer in HKL.

Nothing much to say these days, just mundane life, brighten up by my wife and kids.

Havent play futsal for awhile though, and i'm gaining weight, sigh..

Anyway, happy fasting.

..atok..

11th September 2013 was my mum's 53rd birthday. It was also the day my atok passed away. She went peacefully at her hometown Tangkak during Subuh. I was supposed to work night shift later that day but obviously i'm not fit to work that day. She was the last of my grandparents to pass away. Now i'm a cucu yatim piatu :( Good bye atok..

..prometheus rising..

Seremban and Bangi is not really that far away. If I drive a moderate 120kmh (which is a bit beyond the limit of 110kmh) I can reach the hospital or back home in a modest 30-35minutes. However, every morning I push my trusty old Corolla to the limit till 140kmh as I needed to arrive there in 20minutes. Its possible. Everyday I have to punch in before 7 am, and punch out at 6 pm. If I work on night shifts (cant call them oncalls for some reason), then I have to punch in by 4 pm and out by 9 am. However, if I my night calls are in the ward, I have to follow the morning rounds and so actually I'll be off at about 9 something. So far the latest was 12 pm, and that was a very tiring day. 

A trip to Melaka isnt complete without trying the asam pedas fish.

Ah Lok cafe, Melaka.

Curious George.

Ready to go to work.

It was fun.

When I got the free time (which is rare), basuh la kereta.

My roomate Shazli, currenty in HKL.

Our bromance gang, Dol, currently in HRPZ2 Kota Bharu.

Weddings I dont really wanna go. But I like the food.

Anyway, I'm currently in my second posting, and I'm still learning the ropes, everything seems so new and different. Deep down I still have an attachment to the Pediatrics Department, after all, it was my first love :p Work is tiring, interesting, and brings a whole new perspective to me. No more staying late at night and waking up when the sun has long been up. I still have so much to learn, the culture and management here is different, and I still need time to adapt. But time isnt something that I have. Before I know it, I'm already 1 month into O&G, and I'm still weak. But I will and have to be better at what I do, I have no choice.

Anyway, I try to brighten my life as I can. No need to get all downbeat and such. Every now and then I try to have a break, to have some social life, meeting friends, dinner with my girlfriend, forced to go to weddings by my parents, and so on.

Its not that bad. You just have to find a way to make yourself happy. Legally lah. Hehe.

..je t'aime..

First trip to Paris with Azzam, Ipan and Anna..

Second trip to Paris with Sharifah, Diana, Ipe and Ajee...

Third trip to Paris with Diana, Ajee and Ipe...

Hmm dunno why I went there so many times...but this song reminds me of Paris.. :)

..lagu..

Hari ku harus dipenuhi dengan kehadiranmu
Sayangku fikiranku hanya dipenuhi dengan senyumanmu
Alangkah indah jika dirimu sentiasa disisiku
Sayangku berikanku hanya satu hanya satu lagu

Hari ku harus dipenuhi dengan kemanjaanmu
Cintaku fikiranku hanya dipenuhi dengan suaramu
Alangkah indah jika dirimu sentiasa disisiku
Sayangku berikanku hanya satu hanya satu lagu

Alangkah indah jika dirimu sentiasa disisiku
Sayangku berikanku hanya satu hanya satu lagu

Bedroom Sanctuary - Lagu

..the travellers and the plane tree..

My old phone. She's still good though. I'm a Sony Ericsson fanboy.

Me testing my new camera (sekarang dah rosak) with Azzam in the background. Purposely letak towel Liverpool aku kat tepi dia hahaha

Aww man I miss this. My desk with all my stuffs and shit.

Hairspray, phone, wallet, headphone, etc.

Sad because I dont get to wear winter stuffs anymore :(

..the rose and the amaranth..

Tonight I felt like eating something sweet. But I'm lazy to got out so this is what I did. I fried the frozen roti canai, mashed it a little, puts a dash of peanut butter and chocolate on it, plus some ice cream.

Hmm it doesnt really capture the essence.

 

 

In the end I couldnt finish it because it was too sweet.

..hickory dickory dock..

I just want to be with you.

..running man..

Its near the PKNS Complex. You cant miss it.

There's a local McD joint too. I dont know where's the logic in that.

Its ok lah...

Azzam, me and Amir playing futsal in the good old days.

So, I try to go jogging every now and then, whenever I have free time in the afternoon, or when its not raining. Usually I go by 5.30pm and went back home by 6.30-6.45pm, as to not hit the traffic. I've been running aimlessly, but I thought of setting a target now. Well I dont know how far the jogging path goes at this place, Taman Tasik Cempaka, I just make a huge circle and set my time. 

So for yesterday, I clocked, 10 minutes 20 seconds for my first lap.

9 minutes 48 seconds for my second lap.

And today I did an 8 minutes 50 seconds for my first lap.

9 minutes 16 seconds for my second lap.

Yeahh..I cant do more than 2 laps currently. Anyway I think I have a target now. I need to do my laps just nice, into the 9 minutes zone, not too fast, not too slow, yes?

..Azzam & Iylia..

Mak aih serabutnya aku.

Dr Sufrin, Tan Sri Dr Prem Nasir, le humble me.

Lauk sedap weh. Dol tambah 3 kali.

Dato Dr Peter Wong, Ketua BN bahagian Ipoh.

Nenek bagi minum air zamzam untuk Azzam.

Robot robotic me.

Senyum sokmo. Yo dude bukak la mata (joke never gets old).

The cavalry from M2, Moscow. Plus Aishah.

Oppa Azzam style.

Yesterday was my time to be the pengapit (best man) for my friend Azzam again. This time at his house in Proton City, Tanjung Malim. Last week was his wife's at Bangi Golf Resort. Azzam is one of my good friends in Moscow, plus he's been my roomate for 3 years I think. He sleeps a lot, plays futsal, shops at Topman, travels, you know, what any scholarship student would do, enjoying the fruits of life. Somewhat of a skema dude, he almost never skips class and always does his exams on time. A nice guy, but an absolute beast when he plays futsal haha...As a defender, always tackles hard, makan daging, and relish any physical challenge. But sometimes I nutmeg him from time to time because he has such long legs haha..

Anyway, I have no business whatsoever in this wedding business, and all I ever did was only coming to eat and chat and go back home. It was really lonely for me during his wife's occasion because I think I was his only friend who came, well to be fair it was Iylia's place. Anyway for his occasion, I drove the dudes with my trusty old Toyota Corolla, fetching Botak from Serdang, Dol from Bangsar and Shazli from Ampang. I was afraid of arriving there late so I pushed my dear old Tommy around 120 to 130kmh. Bergegar-gegar kereta aku hahahah plus it wasnt used to have full capacity of passengers. Arrived there safely around 11.30am with about 50minutes to 1 hour journey from Ampang, I guess? Screw the speed trapz. I'm not getting late for my best friend's wedding.

Aishah was the pengapit again this time. Looks like the same dress from last week..no? Haha anyway she's a nice person. It was so bloody hot and me and Aishah have to hold umbrellas over the pengantin's head. Azzam dah la tinggi gila weii. I really hope they dont show my sweaty armpits in the photos haha. Then it was the bersanding time. Big deal. Just have to kipas Azzam with this fancy little fan. Then his auntie gave me a tissue paper. I was like what the heck what am I to do about this. Oh kena lap peluh Azzam rupanya. So I did la a bit the I gave him the tissue suruh dia lap sendiri lol I aint touching a bro's face.

Interesting bit before the Azzam and Iylia was allowed to pass through. There was a water giving ceremony which they presented a glass of water to Azzam's grandma. I think its maybe a chinese custom. If I'm not mistaken she's a chinese muslim. A bit weird, but its alright.

Drove back home with the boys. They all slept in my car while I was driving..

Congratulations to your wedding Azzam and Iylia!

 RNRMU convocation at PICC, Putrajaya. A simple, yet perfect occasion.

 My mum's house in Tangkak, Muar, Johor. Just a few days before raya. It was gotong royong time. Mum's siblings from KL came home to do some cleaning.

 Ribena. Instant energy for me.

Quite modest baju raya for this year. Simple does it for me :)
