Steve's words for my day~

Steve Jobs. My all time idol. Yes he is. The world known best man in expanding his big dream into reality. From an adopted boy of two non graduated parents, now he is the legend in the world of technology. Apple inc. That's his shadow of spirit after departed from this life.

I woke up this morning. Tidying up my messy room, spreading out my carpet as preparation for winter coldness, and then I sat in front of my General Surgery book. Getting my mind ready to swallow more facts, only then I realized, I was not as excited as I am before. Is this subject bored? Or is it my laziness that stopped my mind from savouring it's endorphins? Na ah. I need my morning motivational words.

Opening my youtube account, searching for motivational videos, and ended up clicking Steve Jobs video. Speech at Stanford University during their graduation day, it was such a beautiful speech. Devastating. Amazing. In just a moment, I got injected by his spirit of positivity, his confidence, his passion, and his discipline. :)

Here, watch it. And experience the excitement of new motivation.. ;)

It was put with English Subtitle. Watch it. Trust me, you are not going to waste your 15 minutes. It's worth it. :)

Here I shared some of my favourite picked up quotation of his from this video.

" You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future. Because believe in the dots connect down the road, will give you confidence to follow your heart  even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference."

"I'm pretty sure non if this would have been happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith."

"I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I love what I did. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work, is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle." 

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon, is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all the external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." 

 "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by Dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drown out your inner voice." 

"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Okay. Time to read. Good luck all~ :)

Final exam for the last chance~

Alhamdulillah~

It's the end of our round today. Goodbye radiology. And now, no more round to be attend to.. Officially, our study gap had started today. Less than a month, final will say hi. Even now I can see it's shadow waving just around me, telling me how close it is, showing me it can come closer enough any time, if I ever let myself lost within my procrastination.."It's your last chance dear, mumtaz said this is your last chance to get him." ;p

I need to readjust my study schedule tonight. Officially my nerdy part will come back home tomorrow. This crazy one sadly need to leave tonight. Too much to read, to understand, to memorize. InsyaAllah, where there's a will, there's a way. :)

Believe in yourself. That's what important. I believe in myself. I believe I can do my best. Result is Allah's job. He knew what's best for me. All I can control is my way of get myself ready. I will try my best in every way I can. InsyaAllah. Expecting the best is a must, so that even if you fall, you'll still fall among the best. Don't let expectation being the culprit of your tense environment of studying. Let it be calm and cool. Inhale deeply. Life need to be touched, not strangled. Be nice to yourself. The most important thing, use your time wisely. No regret awaiting. :)

Good luck all friends. We are going to be the first Malaysian student graduates from Zaqaziq University of Egypt. Lets strive for the best in this final year of ours~

A month more~

Slurrping hot pure nescafe without sugar and creamer. The exact satisfaction for a caffeine addict like me. Lately I have decided to change my sleep pattern. Staying up it is. Enduring Egyptian children roaring, plus shrilling horn across the street, I choose to read in this slam-bang environment.

Waking up earlier at two in the morning was good. Indeed the silence appropriately helpful if you are looking for a good concentration to read. But since our round sessions still ongoing, I can't hold my head much longer from 2 am in the morning, till the end of class at 2 pm. 12 hours straight? Don't forget my discussion with Deena straight after the end of classes. Till 5.30 pm.. @.@

My poor brain needs it's pretty rest. Metabolites can slow down your brain, said Dr Oz. So yes, staying up is my best option in the meantime. I'll try to adjust it back once my round sessions ended. :)

And one more thing. Today is 13th of October. Exactly a month away from my final exam. And yes, the aura of struggling and striving slowly crawling to it's peak. Adrenaline and endorphins begin reaching it's top limit. Sympathetic overcome parasympathetic. Diagnosis? Exam mode has officially been arrived today. Welcome sir! Your wish is my command~ ^__^

So wish me and my friends best of luck for our exam preparation. May Allah SWT always be with us, blessing us in our effort to gain more knowledge. Keep reminding oneself, that exam is not something you should be afraid of, not an excuse to be depressed or tension. It is just another test to push us to be more productive. Use this opportunity to gain more information, from books, internet, friends. One at a time. Appreciate the present moment. Enjoy. ;)

I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath, and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong.

Mode: Bored + Study?~

I was sitting alone in my room. Enjoying my hot chocolate drink mixed with Kacip Fatimah Cafe', it was delicious enough to make me sit longer. I'm bored.

It's Thursday evening, where everyone is busy spending their time by resting, hanging out with others, sleeping, eat out. It's weekend for Egypt. Unlike Malaysia that's always Friday being the favourite day for Malaysian student, us here, Thursday it is. It's weekend, and I'm bored.

I felt empty this evening. Make myself busy by washing all my one week clothes, my spongebob, my jeans. I reach my wet tissues, wiping all those obvious dusts all over the place. Cleaning my fans. And now, it has already ended. So now, I'm bored again.

And now, I ended up posting. And taking pictures. Yes, it's final exam fever. Everyone has already begun. Me? Alhamdulillah, so far so good I think. And yes, I do have fever, like the real fever, 3rd day already. Headache, runny nose, lack of taste and smelling sensation, watery eyes, and breathing from my mouth. And yes, it is a complete annoyance. Be patience, tomorrow insyaAllah will be better. Although I hate taking antiflu, it force me to fall asleep, but I should take it to be better. Sick equal to 'no study' mode. I wanted to be healthy, means 'in study' mode. 

Here's are some random pictures of mine. My room looks like an office. That's how they described it. Study mode room they said. :)

A messy whiteboard sched~But helped me a lot. :)

A simple reminder.

Morning alarm. :)

Enough honeymoon~ :D

Everything must be in a happy mode. 

See? Spongebob also read with big smile~

My 3rd destination, after bed and lappy desk. (haish!)

Yosh!Study!

Wish me luck~ :)

Okehbai. ^^

No better time to be happy~

We told ourselves that life will be better after we finish our secondary school, that there'll be less rules to be obeyed, no more nagging parents to be stuck at home, no more school uniform to be ironed every night. But turned out to be worse than we can ever imagine. Surviving all by ourselves, schedule depends on our mind to set it up, where everything need your attention and alertness, fight with friends and the feeling were just hurt deeper than we are able to hold in.

We told ourselves that life will be better if our partner begin to put himself together, be matured enough to be   your spouse, nicer car, nicer house, going on a nice vacation when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Our life will always be full of challenges. Each stages of our life, challenges always be there. From school's life, and now university's life, admit it. We were all have been through a lot, every time. It is best to admit it to yourself and just be happy now. We'll face it anyway, we'll get through it anyway. So why don't we would just be cool, enjoy each moment given?

As for me, I choose to treasure every moment that I have, and I'll treasure it more when I spent it with someone special, special enough to shared my time with. Because I just knew, time will wait for no one. It'll be just moving along with our life, no pause, no rewind, just plain forward. And to treasure it, happiness is the way. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. Yes it is indeed. :)

So, why don't we would just stop waiting? Stop waiting.... until we finish exams, until we graduate, until you lose 10 pounds, or gain 10 pounds, until you get married, or break up with your partner, until you started to work, or lose your job, until you got kids, or until the kids graduate from high school...

Deena: she knew how to turn my crazy button on.

There is no better time to be happy, everyone. The time is now. The present moment. So smile, laugh, enjoy each moment gifted with your loved one. Be happy. ^^

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."---Alfred D. Souza

Random morning~

The moment that I opened my eye, looking at my phone. It's 1.30 am in the morning. Where every eyes were still closed tightly, to washed out all the metabolites built up inside their brain. I tried to sleep again, but failed. The sound of my fan and the door of my Egyptian neighbour slammed slowly. Clearly entering my ear's orifice.
I sit blankly. Fallen asleep at 7 pm last night. Now my brain says enough sleep dear, time to wake up and read. My eyes were half awakened, since I try to close it again, but further stopped by the command from my higher centre. I decided to stand up and get refresh. Splashing my face with the coldest tap water, with a delicious hot coffee on my table, it's perfect. Now my morning is ready to be filled with smile and learn.
Alhamdulillah.. Anaesthetic says goodbye yesterday. And yes, I don't feel sad. Not one of my all time favourite subject. While Mr Rays says hello today. And yes. I don't feel the joyous of introducing new friend here. Not a hardcore fan of imaging. Hope that this bad impression will turned out to be something to the opposite of now. InsyaAllah.. Love will exist at the exact perfect time, same goes to love for X-Ray insyaAllah. :)
Okay.. Let us start now. No more procrastinate. No more regret of wasting every second gifted. Let's read and learn. Discover new knowledge. Revising old facts. And enjoy the excitement of the spirit of curiosity. :)

More important than talent, strength, or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams.

Another vers of camwhore~

I was discussing Obgyn with Dina this afternoon, until I stuck on her i-Pad while she's praying Asar. Giggling alone looking at her gallery collections. Too much photos. Of us. Yes. Everywhere, anywhere, it's all about snapping and uploading. It's unnoticeable since I've changed my facebook page into the private one. Compared to our previous years of non stoppable camwhore habit, during friendster's era, hundreds of photos were taken in a day. Wow, if only photos equal to money. Huh... :)

Here are some random photos I took from Dina's i-Pad. You can tell how tired the camera is. Seeing our faces every second. ;D

After failed 3 times.

Foods are what we're waiting for.

Don't you just love the combination of pinky and bluish? :)

Mochachino is the must order one.hmmm..delly2!

Sushi by Otousan Mira and Pinky Jelly by Miss Husna~

Promoting neurology. poyo sikit la. ;p

4 times failures. And walla! Our hand finally met at the right spot.

KFC says thank you for promoting us.

Can I say I was overconfident about my braces? :D

Poyo once again.

Another version of braces overconfident moment.

We were imagining it would be like ombak rindu poster ka, but turned out to be like..BLANK..Sekian.;p

My favourite of all~ we took like half an hour to edit this one!

That's all. I love photos, since it can remind us of how amazing our life is, especially when you enjoy spending it with your besties. Memories can be eternalized by photographies. Right? :)

Ok, time to say hello to my love, my bed..

p/s: Dina challanged me on doing something beginning tomorrow, and the result will be reported to her by this Tuesday. I know it's easy for me to do, so I accepted it. With one condition, she must do the same. Hehe, I know how amazing she is, so I will buy her present tomorrow. As for me, she better buy it. I know I can make it true. What? Na ah. It's a secret. (Another version of poyo). :))

Random again~

Walla~
It's another version of awaken without the help of my alarm. Yes, and guess what? I'm proud of it. Meaning that I had a full quality of sleep last night. It's 2.30 in the morning, I wake up fresh, reaching my mineral water, gulping as much as I wanted, at the same time, with full of trust from the online article, that drinking plain water in the morning can washed out your built up toxins overnight. I trust it. With hope that all my bad toxins will be excreted along with my insensible and sensible water loss. Please clear up my uninvited adult acne also. Haih.. :(

It's 4th of October, means in less than 2 months we will be facing our final exam. Classes begin to packed up, clinical round become a must attend class since there might be the patient for our clinical exams, and yet, so sad we will have to compete with the so big big and strong Egyptian, men and women. I guess just a glimpse over the patient's face will be enough for us.Huh.. Not to mention about our lost Saturday holiday, filled with Prof. Dr. Hamdun lecture of General Surgery. Luckily I love him and his way of teaching, so I think it's worth it. Yey!

Okay, that's all folk. Got lotsa topics to cover. Discussion with Dina is coming to it's end, alhamdulillah. And now, discussion with my fellow study group mate has just begun. It's going to be hectic and fast. But we'll try to do our best here. Allah knew what's best for us, remember? So, it's okay to be tired and busy. So long you tried. And don't forget to bring along the 'Tawakkal' inside. It's a must to keep calm and stay positive. Expectation is a must, but don't let it be the factor for your depressed and tension way of studying. Keep calm, and read. Don't forget to enjoy your coffee and chocolate. Raise your endorphin level for a better concentration and mood.

Heee... :)
