Bandung: Mission Accomplished!

Salam..

After all the challenges and huddles, my trip to bandung finally become a success. *yeay*. The initial plan was to go for a whole week, but as human beings who are under the control of Almighty, I have to shorten the trip to 3 days 2 nights despite having to leave my other girlfriends to spend their millions of rupiah exploring the city and outskirts of bandung for another few days (sila baca dengan nada yang jeles).

Not to mention, I leave for Bandung one day earlier than the others and I would say it was a challenge for myself to travel alone in a new country even just for a day. And I'm proud to tell you, I passed the challenge succesfully!

Passing through the immigration alone, riding a taxi to Hotel Cemerlang, where I spent my first night, walking from the Hotel to Pasar Baru, shopping in Pasar Baru alone and riding Angkutan from Pasar Baru back to the hotel. It was all a smooth success, Alhamdulillah. The important thing is, you have to always ask for the local people's help especially for directions and which angkutan to take. They are very helpful. Shopping inside the Pasar Baru itself, at every shop that I went, they were suprised seeing me alone by myself and some even care to give pieces of advice on how to take care of my bags and wallets. And luckily, I met honest people where there's one time I'm trying to take out seven pieces of 100,000 IDR notes for a shirt  priced 70,000 IDR. (Mind you, I'm trying to pay 10x the actual price). Alhamdulillah, the owner return me back the money and tell me which IDR notes I have to give to him. Then, another occasion at the food court, I'm giving 5,000 IDR for a meal cost 27,000 IDR (I've mistaken 5,000 to 50,000). See, I'm so bad at all these ribuan and jutaan rupiah T_T.

The next day, upon arrival of my friends, we went to Tangkuban Parahu, Sari Ater Hot Spring, Lembang Floating Market and checked in to Hotel Salon Fora. At night, continuing my shopping at Rumah Mode. On the last day, we went to shop for more telekung and kain pasang, Kartika Sari for some brownies and airport for sending me home.

There goes my short trip to Bandung, Overall. I have to say that I had a new kind of experience as I met and mingle with different kind of people especially in the flight sitting next to me and at the KLIA2, where I met an Indonesian footballer who requested to go with me to the immigration since he doesnt know the direction. *Actually, aku pn xtau tapi buat2 konfiden jek tau*.

Ok then, sekarang dah bleh start berangan untuk next trip yg xtau kat mana and bile. LOL

2014: A year to remember

Sayonara 2014, Welcome 2015!

In a blink of an eye, 2014 has come to an end. That also marks the end of one-year-of-a-hell journey of the so called PRP. Now, I'm no longer working at the same hospital where I was attached to during my PRP time. I was transferred to a district hospital 60km away from home and I've officially become a fully registered pharmacist (FRP).

It was almost a cultural shock coming from a state hospital, where u meet more than 1000 patients per day to a much smaller district hospital; where u get more than 1000 patients per month. However, things may not look as relaxing as it was. I was assigned as a clinical pharmacist at the medical ward on the very first day of working in Hospital Setiu. Clinical field was never my strong point during my PRP training, so I'm still struggling to learn and becoming better each day. Thinking on the bright side, it's an opportunity for me to grab the experiences and knowledge that come along the way as a clinical pharmacist and build a better path for me to achieve my dream, insyaAllah.

Looking back at last year, most of the time was spent working and some small amount of time travelling and exploring Penang and most importantly, the Penang food. It was actually a year well spent with my friends. It was a year where I met very good friends which are very helpful and supportive to each other especially during the hard times. Yes, it was hard, sometimes I even think about quitting, but as the saying goes, "What doesn't kill u makes u stronger". Holding our hands together through the journey was a very memorable experience. I shall probably say, these were the times I met true friends, friends that doesn't stabbed u in the back, friends that know exactly what we've been through, friends that were willing to spend their precious weekend just to help u at work, friends who were willing to offer help whenever needed and friends which u can never stop talking and sharing with, even though I've been seeing them 24-7. Though we are now apart to all different kind of places in Malaysia, may the friendship last forever and I really hope that we can met again someday.

Thanks guys for becoming a part of my journey!

Now I'm living a new life, in a new environment,  with a lot of new commitment, meeting with new people. What a great way to start a new year! Hope 2015 will be a blast in every aspect!

Well, it's school holiday! So guess what, u can expect a loooot of wedding photos popping out every single time on ur facebook page.. Friends from all stages of life, sekolah rendah, menengah, mrsm, cenfos and uia, all are getting married. So, as usual, I will analyze most of the wedding photos, stalking who is the wife/husband of the pengantin, complimenting on the dress and pelamin, and envying the gathering of other friends whom I haven't met for a long time. And one thing that kept me thinking when I'm looking at the photos is not "when will I get to be the bride on the wedding photo" but rather, who'll come to my wedding.

Have I been a good friend to everyone? Will they be excited to come to my wedding? Honestly, I do have a lot of good friends, close friends, friends whom I can hang out with, gossiping together, watching movies together, playing together, but are they considered as BFF? I'm not the person who'll keep in touch with everyone once I left the school or college. And even, sometimes I'm the cruel friend who didn't reply back when someone trying to keep in touch with me. But not all the time, only when the time I received the text might not be right and I'm not in the mood. Well, I guess that's my fault then. Sometimes, I do feel left out when everyone is gathering somewhere else and I wasn't invited or I was there but no one is paying attention on me. And there's also times when I feel awkward after meeting the friends after a long time.

On the other side, I am grateful for the friends that I've met till now. They have been an inspiration, people that I look up to, friends through ups and downs and most importantly, friends that accept me as who I am. Although we never say we're BFFs or something like that, it's awesome having all of you as my close friends. Sorry if sometimes I didn't act as a good friend. Thank you, chingu! Let's be friends till jannah!

Sorry, My Love...

Salam...

 Dear love, although you don't have the fancy look nor come from a wealthy generation, i'm glad to have u as my partner. Nothing can ever replace our bond together for the moment.

I remember meeting you for the first time almost a year back. Meeting you is not an easy task, i have to settle a lot of things in order for you to be able to come into my life. It was a tough time for me, a new career woman stranded in an island with a totally different environment to adapt with. Choosing you as a partner took me a lot of thinking and planning, although at first i even thought of not choosing you. But as times goes on, i never regret the decision i made, because u are always there for me, through thicks and thins of life.

Sorry for hurting you throughout our relationship together. I know i'm not good enough to be ur partner, and i know most of the time, i am the one who brought u into trouble. Physically, seeing every inches of ur body every day made me feel sorry that u have met me. U must be jealous of how ur friends look like with their partner. I even noticed how people sometimes glances at us, in disbelief on what happened to u.

I know i'm not a perfect partner for you. But u are the best partner for me. U have always been strong for me, never let me down even for once. I'm sorry for hurting you just after few days we became partner. It hurts me a lot seeing you were injured so badly back then. I'm sorry for not being a capable woman who can take care of her partner. I'm sorry for letting you fall down into the drain not just once, but twice, in different occassions. I'm sorry for not being able to identify the culprit who injured you when i left you alone. It all happened so suddenly, with no intentions and warnings.

However, because of you, i've learnt a lot. Remember the day we break the rules together? And remember how the joy we feel when i can actually put you in a neat and proper place for you to rest and sleep at night.. Remember all the places we've been together all this while, being lost in new places together, and sometimes luckily discovered new interesting places.. Remember when i took you back to my families to meet with them.. I hope our relationship will last longer despite all the scratches and injury you have. I promise, one day i will make you feel brand new, after we leave this island, hopefully, to a better place where other people also took care of you, not just me. For the moment, let us continue be partner till i can i find my real life partner.

Thank you, my love!

Peace be upon you...

Another few months to finish this prp training.. However, i still find myself lacking in many ways.. Sometimes i feel burdened when most of the people say that hpp is a good training place for prp.. Maybe it is me who are not eager and keen enough to find and grab the knowledge.. Im not gonna give any excuses or blame it on others anymore.. Deep in my heart, i sincerely hope that my next posting will be somewhere in my hometown.. Although i met a lot of good friends here which i am grateful for, willing to stay with us for the never ending work, i still feel lonely. A huge part of it is because my family is not here with me. And sometimes i was left alone in weekend with no one to hang out with. So sad, right? Haha.. But i'm not saying that i want to marry soon, ok.. Hopefully i can survive this loneliness for another few months.

p/s: this post is written after i found out that i cannot go back home this merdeka since the bus tickets were all sold out... Flight ticket is too damn expensive since no direct flight available from penang-trg.. Still wondering whether i will spend the holiday alone at home or i will have solo travel around penang.. Huhu

Struggling. Adapting.

I know im already halfway to finish this prp training. Another 6 months and insyaAllah i`ll be free from this hectic prp life.. It`s an unexplainable feeling that i have now going through all this.. Being alone in a strange place without my family has never been an issue for me before this since i was in high school but now, it`s totally different.. Different environment and different responsibilities. Honestly im missing home sooo much and seeing others went back home on weekend and even those who r lucky to stay with their families, it really makes me feel jealous. How i wish i can work in trg besides my family. But Allah has a better plan for me here. I have to keep believing and moving on until i get to the finish line..

P/s: finding the right time to go back home, even just on weekend is reaaally hard. Lots of things to settle, lots of duty to be done. May Allah ease me and put my heart at peace during this struggle.. Amen..
