Cry.
But Allah is great. He has plans for me. This is the way He is trying to convey His messages and just up to me on how i'm going to interpret it.
I'm lucky to have another chance, and hopefully i can do better next time. Glad it happened this time, therefore i'll try to make sure it won't be happening again in the future.
I thought this as a wake up call. To what? That's what i'm still trying to figure out. Or in other words a big slap to my face.
The road is still long.
Thank you so much to:
My Mama and Abah and family
Zaril
AJ
Doreen

For i still have shoulders to cry on and for advice that i will rely on. For the sayings that i'm still capable of doing what i'm doing and for holding me together when i'm shattered into pieces.
Wouldn't survive this without all of you.
For the better me.

Al-Fatihah to Yasmin Ahmad
Her heart-breaking, feel-good commercials have swept away our hearts making us aware about simple things in life that we used to take for granted. That's what i always feel until now whenever i watch her products.
The only one director from Malaysia, whom her films i wait impatiently, will watch several times to understand and to try and guess what her messages would be. I always stood up for her films whenever i talk with friends, discussing about the themes.

I've made plans to watch Talentime and Muallaf with the other Z this summer holiday. And i'm sure i'll watch those several times. Now i don't have anymore Malaysian Films that i can look up for. At least up till this moment. Who knows.
Millions of loves from her fans who adore her could not possibly outweigh Allah's love for her. Allah is Great.
And now she's gone. Innalillah.

You know the word.
I had one danish for lunch and another one for tea. Am i gonna be the-word-that-should-not-be-said ?
I just wanted to spend my last two pounds just now. My brain was racing on getting something nice to eat. Seriously? But then i got myself together and i went to a bookshop. That kedai is very nice i tell you. Every new book is two pounds. And i got one.
I felt happy. When you're in doubt, book is the best option. Then you won't feel bad. I'll read it after the exams.
Yours truly,

Florence
Just got back from Florence last night . It was really hot there , but it's all worth it . We basically just skimped through all the tourist spots and spend most of the time at the shopping spots . It's mainly due to the fact that the outlets are off the city . It took us an hour to get there , and the bus doesn't come that often , but hey , it's definitely worth it .
The prices are cheap compared to the retail price . A croc Gucci 85th anniversary bag has been reduced from 4000 Euro to 1000 Euro . Cheap heh ? No ? Hahaha.The place was filled with enthusiastic shoppers mainly from the East . Japanese , Chinese , Taiwanese . Some even brought out their calculators . Say whaaaaaaat ?!
Back to the city , it's generally a safe city . The city is not too busy even at peak hours . Since the city itself isn't that big , we just walked most of the time . Heck , even our hotel is just like 5 minutes away from the train / bus station . Make it 10 if you're carrying your luggage . Florence is a nice city , but you have to get out of the city to explore more .
p.s: I was in a rush that morning for my flight , forgot my lenses . Hence Z , no pictures of yours truly will be uploaded!

Out the window
Aku tengah geram ni..Geerrraaammm. If Mira in La Dolce Amira, she would have replied "kenape gerraammm??" You know the expression. Demyuh!!
I went in for resource day today and after having listened to all painful lectures i was called by the education staff. I thought it was just to take my rotations forms and all but it was about something else. When i went into the room she said "this is regarding your attendance." I was like whattt?? You still remember i twittered you about i didn't go in last Friday because i was like soaking in the rain. I thought it wasn't going to do anything but they apparently turned the issue to be of big one. Come on lah. Diorang ni memang takde life right monitoring students all the time and yet try to find relevance behind my absence. I actually called in that day telling them i was soaking and all, and the whole team actually analysing the reason for me missing the session was unacceptable. How pathetic was that? They actually have time to go through all this. That lady who talked to me asked me how about when i'm qualified as a doctor and it was raining? It's not the strongest reason to miss a session. And yet if you were soaking we can provide you with a towel or a scrub. At this point i was like OMG. Mula la kan die ni melalut-lalut.
Aku cam nak je reply laa kan if i'm already qualified i would be able to afford a car my lovely lady and therefore i don't have to take that bloody metro and have to walk like one mile to get to hospital. So i won't get wet.This is mental.
The thing is that bloody session that i missed was just like one hour student presentation that i was just supoosed to sit in. I wasn't even presenting. ONE HOUR? Say whatttttt. And yet i even politely called to inform and be honest about my situation and i didn't get any credit for that. They just assumed i made an unauthorised absence and it's going to effect my professionalism. There you go. My 8 weeks of struggle to keep this professionalism thing had been thrown out the window. How cool is that.
She tried to sound saintly by saying it's not going to effect your whole professionalism of the year since you need like 3 times of unacceptable professionalism to not be able to progress. But still. The fact that i'm going to get unacceptable is still going to have an affect on me. ONE HOUR session? Sempat lagi die nak laser aku die kate just take this as a wake up call. My
Oh well. I think it is a wake up call. Wake up to what i have no idea. I'm coming towards the end anyway. I'm sick of this professionalism thing anyway whatever it means. It's just a word to remind us that they are watching us all the time like a kid. I think my case would be a reminder to all students next year that no matter what it is, even though you're 80% wet and menitik-nitik lagi, and are going to be uncomfortable for the whole session, you have to come no matter what. Nice right?
In the end she even complimented me for being so polite and patience. Yeah rite. Takkan la aku nak mengamuk pulak kan. Then i'll be in big trouble.
I'm a good doctor. I'm a good doctor.
Oh well, i'm not going to think about this anyway. Now i'm fine. I need to do some revision.
I was on my way back after that madness and the first song came up from my ipod was F*ck You by Lily Allen. Sesuai sangat laa kan geng? And next song Selalu Mengalah by Seventeen. Even my ipod responded well on my feelings at that time. Haha.
And i was greeted by this cat. Legaa sikit kan.
And i went jogging. I went to my favourite track again geng. Lega lagi.
Enjoy your holidays in Italy with family geng. We'll talk in a bit. Ciao~

How much is much.
What's the difference between buying and shopping i'm not sure either. Some people will always say they just came back from a massive shopping trip when in fact from what we saw in the pictures in Facebook or somewhere else they were just carrying one little plastic bag. Not even a paper bag. How?
Buying is always a staple for zANDz which comes after eating. Hey, we can eat always but good offers don't always come.
I'm quite annoyed at times when i bought something rather expensive other people would reflexively shout "gile pe, ni kalau makan sebulan pon tak habis. Tak gitu?"
Say whattttttt???
Different people like to buy different things like zANDz, we like shoes and anything worth the price. We buy a lot of stuff that other people would rather use the money to eat or buy something else. We would never say to people buy this and this so you can really see the value of your money and in a way we expect other people to be like that as well. Kadang-kadang gatal laa nak kate kan suke hati laa aku nak beli ape pon geng.
Owh well, i think the key in buying something to satisfy yourself is to know the value of something then when we get something we could really feel it. The glory, the joy...especially when the things we want are on sale.
I don't go for everything expensive, and cheap thrills could be fun sometimes and i quite like the surprise when cheap stuff turn to be of value way beyond their price. Like one H&M shoes. Agree Z in Slim?
I would buy high end now and again. I always say to myself one item like designer sunglasses would be enough and i'll end up wanting more. I think in buying there's no such thing like "lepas ni tak shopping dah" or "one designer jeans should be enough" after i bought something rather pricey. I know it is just a matter of saying, or i'll get respond like yelaa tu kaann?. If that's the case with you too then you'll maybe end up like this:
or like this:
That's not tooo much.
No?
Like the other Z would say it's too cheap that it's a crime not to buy. Then when will we stop?
When something is very nice on you, your mind will be racing in the changing room with thoughts like i don't have this colour yet or i'll wear this to Giant or simply i'll have more jeans or whatever. At the same time your brain will do the maths calculating your financial status and you'll come up with out of this world plans on how eventually you'll be able to get it. Oh no. It's madness.
Oh well, i'm not mad yet geng smeng. Not yet. I know the cut off points and where i have to stop or otherwise...
Who doesn't like buying?
Whatever it is, everything comes back to balance. Balance.
Things can be too much, can't they?

Till next time
A micro reunion which involved a lot of talking, less sleeping, more eating, okay movies, fun ice-cream.
Very nice.
Now they're leaving,
I need to start revising,
Since exams are coming.Not very long not very long.
I don't want anything more
Than to see your face when you open the door
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
