Turn the page, new story is being written now;
What's written today, is tomorrow's memory...
Previously 'Travel With Me' (TWM); this used to be a mean of communication with my Mom while I was in Perth, now it's mainly life reflection, contemplation, and my life journey archive; with some reviews here and there. Like they said, there's more beneath the surface.

7-Years Post Tsunami [Part 1]
Last month we had the chance to organize the last batch's community work- medical check up and sunathon.
In Acheh, Indonesia.
7 years after tsunami.
I'd let the pictures speak for themselves...

Al-Fatihah
Today is 6th Ramadhan... to all muslim, Ramadhan Kareem.
Woke up today to a grim news about the loss of one clinical teacher of ours; who's also the Head of Department at one of the public hospitals where we did our clinical years. May her soul be amongst the mukminin.
For us, she was a great teacher. She will be missed dearly.
Al-Fatihah.

Regress of Progress
And so we waited for the release of the temporary result transcripts since morning and did what was told to be done and changed what was told to be changed and again did what was demanded for us to do- which included a trip by our rep down to another office in the neighbouring area.
And off the letter was sent to the recipient but still we couldn't collect our results. So we waited.
Because it seemed that everyone was in the meeting and the results couldn't be released because everyone was in the meeting. So we waited again.
And waited and soon it was passed 5 p.m.
Oh well. The SPA interview would be at 8 a.m. and I guess we could just say that they refused to release our temporary transcript. It was fine with me. Nothing beats the truth anyway.
But hola! At 7 p.m. we were told that our results were in our colleague's hands. By the time the transcript got into my hands, guess what? My name (and not just mine, mind you) was WRONGLY SPELT.
AGAIN.
What was the point of me personally went up to the office to correct my name if it's still wrongly printed on the transcript? What was the point of us re-checking our names EVERY TIME before the Professional Exams just to get our names wrong AGAIN?
Seriously, don't they have a system for this?
Do I have to make a big deal out of this?
Even if they want to pull something like holding our transcripts until we do what they wanted us to do, please make sure that the names on the temporary scripts were correct. AT LEAST.
Especially since the copies were to be given to SPA.
And since it was released after office hour and my interview (as well as some of those whose names were incorrect) was on the next day, that left no room to correct it, yes?
Brilliant, yeah?

Happiness
To pass an exam means to go to the next stage.
At this moment we've passed the biggest challenge set for us.
And to pass it means happiness. All the hard work, sacrifices, sweat etc. were worth it.
This happiness, it has different sentiment and meaning to each person.
And of course, this is just another hurdle in life that we have managed to go through,
more will come and who knows how big it will be next time.
It's time to walk pass our current comfort zone...
Whatever difficulties that we've faced will be some preparation for us to face tomorrow.
I think we've also learned something new now... Life can be... amusing when we least expect it.
Perhaps we're still young to play this game but I'm sure if we look at it again, it's indeed another learning curve and it's just another bit of life experience that will be useful in our future.
What doesn't hurt us will make us stronger...
d-Frontiers, CONGRATULATIONS in passing the exit exams!

Fuyu no Nioi
literally means 'Winter Scent'
People change; maybe for the better or for the worse.
Of course, you want to change for the better but what you might think better for yourself might mean differently from others. Sometimes you don’t even realize that you’ve changed; it's the other people around you who notice it.
In a nutshell, change is inevitable.

Monster
Waiting for justice to be served
The party who started the problem,
who's the root of all this mess still isn't taking any responsibility
I said this to a housemate, since when have ever adults admit to their mistakes?
Perhaps that's a biased statement
but it has some truth in it, hasn't it?
And whatever plans I have for this weekends had to be cancelled.
Dear Mind & Brain,
please stay sane for a bit and not crash. I still want to make rational decisions...

Koe
literally means 'voice'
A few series of events had been happening past few months here and it got so many people's emotion riled up and so much anger, frustration and confusion brewing rather than satisfaction. I do personally think it also generates hate, even if that's such a strong word to be used but alas, it's the truth after all. And looking at it from their point of views, who could blame them?
One of the many things that I don't understand is, why is it so hard to follow rules and regulations? I also don't understand the need to give false hope and pretense and the persistence of trying to bend the rules. Though it's easy to say 'it won't come to this if you didn't create the problem back then' the damage has been done and rather than living in the past, we have to move on.
From one view, perhaps injustice had been done and I really couldn't agree more. But try and look at it from another point of view- who knows what hikmah may come out of it?
"... But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." (2:216)
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way." (2:186)
The results of the events didn't satisfy everyone. It also reopened old wound; so while perhaps I don't understand fully their feelings, I had been there and it was one of the biggest challenge I've ever faced. I do hope that this won't de-motivate them or make them feel inferior.
It just makes you wonder how just a handful of people could really kill you spirit... These people may live in ease now but there will be a day where 'what goes around comes around', Allahua'lam...
On the other note, I have two patients who have heart problem since birth and currently they are not doing so well... I was almost on the verge of crying yesterday because the babies looked so tired... Please have a heart in you to pray for them to get better soon so they can have the operations that they need T__T
I would really thank you for that

Be With You
We're having a one-week-mid-semester-break and I find myself to turn into NHK World TV Live in the morning before starting some house chores.
You can watch it here via below links, both showing the same news for English-version:
Please take note it's a streaming site so it'll depend on your connection.
A few events/incidents are happening throughout the world, and for some of us, locally and specifically as well. And it's only March of 2011. It makes me wonder how will the rest of the year go?
In light of the recent earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, even if it's a small prayer I'm sure it'll give some strength to those who are affected, directly and indirectly. And stories like these here only make your heart warmer and touched at how amazing people can be at time like this.
I have no ideas who come and read my entries here but I thought I'd help along to promote some efforts from the people I know in a fandom in trying to help out:

Secret Eyes
It’s interesting to see things from different people’s perspectives. Just by doing that alone, you can see some sort of the big picture.
It’s unfortunate however when the other parties refused to do so, just couldn’t be bothered or at least make an attempt to listen to others or just don’t want to speak up or explain. In the end, people choose to be egoistic. And in the end, everyone is angry and frustrated.
...because we let this thing call 'pride' to be our defence mechanism and we refuse to 'lower' ourselves a bit to everyone else’s level.
It’s a pity. I think if we’re ready and willing to listen to every angle’s view and not letting our emotions rule our mind, perhaps we could come to a solution for everyone’s interest. It might not be the best for everyone, but it would be something agreeable by all.
We were taught to listen and look from different angles when we were younger yet in reality those who taught me practice differently and those who were taught so threw it away because it won’t produce the results pronto.
Gen X vs. Gen Y
I think the collateral damage would be more than the actual issue's damage.
