Outstation: A Process Of Learning

Indonesia.
5th - 8th December 2010.
Medan - Siantar - Parapat, Danau Toba - Berastagi - Medan



it was a family trip.. which my dad had promised us for quite sometimes..
the family holiday was supposed to take place only in Malaysia.. but my dad changed his mind..
"this trip is not only about having fun and freedom of seeing and visiting, but to learn a valuable lesson from it.. "

indeed, just like the trip we had in 2008.. we went to thailand before..
and we have learned a lot from that trip.. =)

back to Indonesia.
our flight was on the 5th, at 9.50 am local time..
we arrived at the polonia airport in medan and was greeted by our tourist guide..
uncle nazir; a very friendly guy, knows a lot about his own country and yet an aggresive driver on the road.. (seriously, i will never drive like he did!)
we went to a lot of places, had fun during the trip, learnt a lot of things and the true meaning of being thankful..

despite the fact that we were not feeling well on the last day, at least we knew that the journey was one of the best teacher; taught us about life in its own way.. =)

:: reach by eyes set to kill ::

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that i live for
it hurts to reach you when i'm down
dont speak again, i'm still waiting for my turn
it hurts to reach you when i'm down

my dreams are growing into
frustrations when i hear your voice
(feeding me til i'm choking)
my ears are ringing louder
repeating words that bring me down
(ringing, my ears are bleeding)
so hold your breath and spare me
the pointless conversation, im running out of patience

don't blame me for trying to reach
as you are moving forward
i feel as if i can't catch up
(trying so hard to reach you)
i'm stuck here at the bottom
you're too high up to come back down
(trying so hard to reach you)

silence your harsh words my dear
my ears are ringing of this
i can't stop thinking of it
(i try to reach you but i fall)

hush don't speak a word about the dreams that i live for
it hurts to reach you when i'm down
dont speak again, i'm still waiting for my turn

Dedicated.With.Respect

First of all..
This post is a tribute and a note to remind the person I’m mentioning in it.

Hey buddy.
You are an amazing person. You know that. I know that. Even all those people who have known you will say the same thing.
To me, you are one of my best buddies. You have been by my side whenever I’m in need. No doubt about that.
We used to be like the best ‘best friends’. But it was a long way back. Not that I don’t appreciate you, I do. I really, really do.
But time changes everything. Or it may not be every single thing, but time does make a change in our lives.
The thing is, I don’t want to interfere in your life. You have a whole new life to begin with. I may still be a part of that life, but not as I used to be. Not as close as before. And you know that, it’s a fact that no one can deny.

I’m so sorry that I’m losing grip on this issue. It’s just not in my power of control. I can’t stay the same like I used to, it just won’t be like before.
So, do know this.
You will always be a part of me. Like other friends in my life.
Once, you have been the greatest mentor, brother and guider for me.
I will never forget that. Now and forever.
Thank you, for ever crossing my path in my journey of life.

Istiadat Konvokesyen UiTM Ke-73

UiTM Shah Alam
27 November 2010, Sidang Keempat

Alhamdulillah.
At last.
My diploma journey ends here.
*big grin!* =D

After 3 years of hard work, late night revisions, haywire of tests, quizzes and exams, we have come to an end of our Diploma.

To my ex-classmates of Diploma in Occupational Therapy UiTM (12th Batch)...

“ I remember those times,
When we were so childish and only know a dime.
We started slow,
But we managed to go with the flow.
Somehow we keep on trying harder,
And we catch up with a quarter.

Once, we never knew each other,
But anyway, we still try to find time to bother.
The, we never really care to care for another,
But yet we know that we were meant to be together.

Through hardship,
We learn the true meaning of friendship.
Through tears and laughter,
We understood the meaning of being there for each other.
Through curiosity,
We get to know the simplicity.
And through the pain,
We succeeded the gain.

So no matter what happen,
I hope that this bond we have will strengthen.
Even if the rain pours and the world shatter,
I hope we can still find time to gather. “

Cerita NADA dan Kampung Panchor =)

Kampung Di Hatiku 2010.

Kampung Panchor, Pantai Remis, Perak Darul Ridzuan
13-14 November 2010

Program Nutrition and Dietetics Students Association (NADA) yang pertama aku sertai.
It was hell of a fun, I’m telling you! Hee.. =)

Had so much laughter and smiles!
Sangat-sangat gembira sebab it was my first NADA’s program with my new classmates..
Kalau sebelum ini, Jamuan Hari Raya yang me and my classmates organized was a success, I have no doubt that this program would be as fun as well.. It proved right.
With new seniors and classmates (not to forget; our lecturers and staff), including our adopt families..

Teringin untuk ke sana lagi, nak turun laut dengan Ayah angkat.. Nak makan seafood fresh, air tangan Mak angkat.. Hehe..

To warga kampung yang telah kami ‘terjah’ dan ‘huru-hara’kan, THANKS MUCH sebab bagi kami berprogram di sana.. Walaupun masa sangat singkat (ramai pak cik and mak cik mengeluh sebab masa terlalu pendek bersama kami).. But the time spent was awesome!

Health screening, health talks, the performances, the donations ec cetra, ec cetra..

Congratulations NADA team! Two thumbs up for all of us! =)

[‘AmyraRamlan.Dan.NADA.*smiles*]

Sungguh, saya redha!

Saya tak harap awak akan sentiasa bersama saya.

Kerana saya tahu siapa saya di sisi awak.

Saya sedar, awak mungkin jadi milik saya.

Atau juga mungkin tidak sama sekali.



Saya juga tak harap awak akan sentiasa fahami saya.

Diri saya. Hati saya. Cara saya. Hidup saya.

Sebab saya ni sukar untuk difahami.

Sukar juga untuk orang terima cara saya.



Tapi saya berterima kasih sangat-sangat.

Kerana awak tak pernah tipu dan tinggalkan saya.

Walau betapa banyak saya susahkan awak.

Walau betapa kerap saya cari awak tika saya perlu.



Memang saya ingin awak sentiasa menjadi teman saya.

Pendamping saya. Pembimbing saya.

Selamanya bersama saya hingga alam sana.

Tapi saya sedar akan HAKIKAT dan KETENTUAN.



Jadi saya serahkan segalanya pada takdir.

Kerana hanya Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui.

Segala isi hati saya, bicara kata jiwa ini.

Dia telah tetapkan yang terbaik buat kita. =)

['AmyraRamlanRedha]

H.A.R.A.P.A.N

Tidak guna memberi kata penuh pengharapan.
Tiada guna menagih janji yang bertaburan.
Kerana pada akhirnya, hanya Dia yang menetapkan.

Tiap segala sesuatu ketentuan.

Adakah insan yang dapat mengerti gelora jiwa ini?

Mampukah mereka fahami ceritera hati ini?

Aku serahkan jua pada Yang Maha Satu.

Hanya pada-Nya aku berserah dan merayu.

Redhakanlah hatiku.

Pasrahkan nuraniku.

Moga suatu hari nanti.

Aku akan fahami.

World: Is not that big!

Kesian roomate aku. Dia kena dengar aku asyik menjerit je pagi ni..
WHY?
Sebab aku dua tiga hari ni asyik come across people yg cross-related..

Girlfriend orang ni, rupanya ex-housemate orang itu.
Best friend mamat ni, rupanya girlfriend kawan aku.
Mentor orang tu, rupanya mentee dia ni.
Minah yang baru aku kenal, rupanya girlfriend ex-boyfriend aku.
Erk!
Banyak lagi lah!

Kesian kau Rani.. Hehe.. Ampun beb!

So, the lesson is; world is not that big enough.
Pusing-pusing, tetap kita akan ada peluang untuk jumpa anyone on this Earth.
So kawan-kawan, ambil iktibar.
Jangan cari musuh.
jangan cari pasal dengan orang.
Jangan buat perangai yang bukan-bukan.
Sebab nanti lambat laun, kita mungkin akan jumpa balik orang-orang berkenaan.
Ex-boyfriend. Musuh ketat. Backstabber.

Berbuat baiklah kamu dengan sesama insan.
Kelak, kamu akan diingati dengan sebaik-baik ingatan.
Moga pabila jasad kamu sudah tiada di dunia,
kamu akan didoakan dengan sebaik-baik doa..
Oleh insan yang pernah kamu kenali,
mahupun yang pernah mengenali kamu.

Saat.Lafaz.Sakinah ; Far East

It has been so long since I've cried listening to songs..
But this one song; it touches me so deep inside..
I was stunned, unable to express myself in any other ways rather than tears..

=Saat.Lafaz.Sakinah=

Heningnya

Sunyi suasana

Lafaz sakinah bermula
Apa rasa

Diterjemah hanya

Sebak abah tangis ibunda

Adalah aku wali puteriku

Serah kini amanahku ini padamu

Nafkahilah dia curah kasih dan cinta

Lebih dari yang ku berikan kepadanya

Dulu esakannya sandar di bahuku

Tangisannya kini ku serah padamu

Bukan bermakna dia bukan milikku

Fitrahnya perlukanmu

Jadikanlah dia wanita syurga

Mengerti benar akan maharnya

Taat itu bukan hanya pada nama

Indah ia pada maksudnya

Ku akur

Akan pesanmu

Puterimu kini amanahku
Iringilah

Dengan doamu

Bahagia kami dari redhamu

Wahai Adam yang bakal memikul amanah Abah dan Umi ku..

Bisakah engkau membahagiakan aku seperti amanah Abah?

Bisakah engkau sentiasa mendengar luahan hati aku seperti yang Umi sentiasa lakukan?

Bisakah engkau menjadi Adam idaman seorang Hawa?

Bisakah engkau menerima kekurangan aku, menerima kekhilafan aku sebagai hamba-Nya?

Wahai Adam..

Bolehkah kau membimbing aku menuju redha-Nya?

Bolehkah kau sentiasa di sisi aku dalam suka dan duka?

Bolehkah kau kesat air mataku pabila ia menitis?

Bolehkah kau turut sama tertawa pabila aku gembira?

Bolehkah kau menjadi seorang sahabat sejati untukku?

Bolehkah kau menjadi seorang suami, memimpin aku tanpa jemu?

Wahai Adam bakal suamiku..

Mampukah kamu mengajar aku tentang agama kita?

Mampukah kamu mendidik aku menjadi seorang isteri solehah?

Mampukah kamu memikul segala tanggungjawab seorang suami soleh?

Mampukah kamu wahai Adam, untuk menjadikan aku wanita syurga?

+ALWAYS BE THERE+
Alllahu Akbar…

If you ask me about love
And what i know about it
My answer would be
It’s everything about Allah
The pure love, to our souls
The creator of you and me,
the heaven and whole universe
The one that made us whole and free
The guardian of HIS true believers

So when the time is hard
There’s no way to turn
As HE promise HE will always be there
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there
HE’s always watching us, guiding us

And HE knows what’s in all in our heart
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
As HE promise HE will always be there…
HE bring ourselves from the darkness into the light
Subhanallah praise belongs to YOU for everything
Shouldn’t never feel afraid of anything
As long as we follow HIS guidance all the way
Through the short time we have in this life
Soon it all’ll be over
And we’ll be in His heaven and we’ll all be fine

Allahu Akbar…


+ AWAKEN +
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor ’cause
We couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact
To ourselves we’re just lying

Oh
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we’d bought
We went to London, Paris and
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were.. (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

We became the visuals without a soul
Despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister
It’s time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes
When there’s nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah’s watching you

Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?

Life Is Good!~ (^_^)

Well, ola!

It has almost been a semester since I'm holding a title of 'student of Nutrition and Dietetics'.. Hee~
It's fun though.. I am learning a lot more than before..

Of course lah.. Occupational Therapy is different from Nutrition and Dietetics.. But I enjoy studying both!

Ramai orang tanya, 'kenapa kau tukar kursus, Myra?'..
Maybe macam-macam tanggapan orang dan kawan-kawan bila aku tukar kursus.. But let's just say aku tukar bukan kerana OT tak seronok.. Hello! OT itu best tau! Siapa kata OT bosan, memang nak kena dengan aku.. Haha..

It's just a learning process.. Aku tukar course sebab aku nak cari pengalaman yang lain dari OT.. Alaa.. NAD bukan lari jauh sangat pun dari OT.. Yang pasti Anatomy and Physiology tetap kena ambil paper final lagi.. *Sigh*
And the most important thing is, I still get the chance to be a student of HS.. Bahagia hidup aku.. (^_^)

Enough of academic stories..
This semester I had a lot more problems.. Tapi masalah itu yang mematangkan diri kan? So, aku terima dugaan yang bersilih ganti.. Ada hikmahnya suatu hari nanti, itu yang aku pasti.. =)

After the break up dengan boyfriend aku, Alhamdulillah aku semakin bahagia..
I've had a good time dulu, and I deserve a lot more than that..

Zar, awak tak ada hak untuk halang saya dari hidup bahagia.. Awak pun sedang bahagia kan?
Baguslah.. Semoga dia yang terbaik untuk hidup awak.. =)

Semester ni memang seronok.. Unplanned movie hang out, surprise birthday celebration, konvoi ke rumah Dewi Alliana di Klang, late night discussions bersama teammates NAD, jamuan raya department coming up, etc., etc... So at least I am back on track of my life.. =D

Plus, aku telah belajar a meaningful lesson..
'YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL OUT TO FIND TRUE LOVE,
IT WILL COME EVENTUALLY, WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.'

Sayonara for now!
Gotta' study while I still can!

Sabar menanti kelam berlalu pergi
Tampil matahari berlari laju

Siapa bilang siapa kata
Bulan itu jauh
Siapa sangka siapa tahu
Naik turun aku

Pandanganku hanya ke langit biru
Sabar menanti kelam berlalu pergi
Tampil matahari berlari laju

Makin dekat makin mahu

Berlari laju

First thing first.

I AM NOT a big fan of Akademi Fantasia..

But well, since aku lepak kat Mama's house in Ampang, Mama introduced me to Shahir, Adira, Daus, Maulana, and Iwan..

So, terpanggil la hati ini to watch AF8's final concert..

Mama bertanggungjawab atas demam AF ini! Haha..

And for me, who is not a big fan (perlu ke aku repeat lagi?huhu..), its worth the show!

In fact, berulang kali aku mengulang tengok repeat show final concert tu..

(aiyo Myra, ape dah jadi dengan kau nih??)

Sebenar-benarnya, semua songs tu buat aku teringat 'D.I.A'..

I think that's the reason why aku tersangkut sangat dengan AF8 nie.. (^_^)

But of all reasons,

the finalists' final songs memang sangat best.. Congrats KRU! :)

After almost 2 weeks MPG berlalu, barula dapat aku nak upload pics malam penuh gemilang tu..
HAPPY sangat hati ini sebab dapat spend time dengan kekaseh hatiku, sisters, brother and my friends..


Attending MPG this time around, it felt different from the other two which I've attended before..

Because, of course, it was my MPG.. I'm the one who's graduating.. Sangat sayu juga rasa hati.. After 3 years, I've finally meet the end of my Diploma journey.. Degree or work coming up.. Itu masih belum dapat aku putuskan..


Walau apapun, aku cuma harapkan this is not the end.. Bukan pengakhiran kepada enjoyment aku bersama rakan-rakan, bukan pengakhiran aku di dunia 'student life'.. Bukan juga pengakhiran untuk aku berjumpa lagi bersama teman-teman..

I miss those moments, though~~

and I do hope that I can repeat it all over again.. (",)

Last moments of my Diploma...

Another trip back to KL was much more than incredible for me!

*winkwink*

I went to Puncak Alam Campus, to fulfil my duty as a final year student;

attending a compulsory 'Finishing School' program; Success As A Graduate (SAAG),

attending my awaited Pre-Graduation Dinner,

meeting my fellow classmates,

my both beloved sisters; Kak Nuri and Kak Izza,

and of course my one and only Zar.. :)

~SAAG~

Was filled with information and laughter..

Best juga dapat berkumpul dengan classmates, after a whole sem tak jumpa..

Hehe..

The two speakers were good in their own of way...

Thanks Mr. Saiful and Mr. Rizal..

Sangat GRAND and CLASSIC!

Saya sangat suka!

Hee~

Congratulations to SMF 2010/2011 of Faculty of Health Sciences!

Saya sangat bangga dengan anda!

Antara yang terbaik during MPG,

I had fun with part of my classmates who attended the event..

I had an excellent night with my exhausted-but-happy sisters and brother..

I had a superb dinner and trip to De Palma Hotel Shah Alam with my Zar..

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

*The Only Exception*

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that
I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

~The Only Exception; by Paramore~

My personal favourite; which I've dedicated to someone who means a lot to me and my life..

Yes, to me he is the only exception.

And for just being that, I'm on my way to believing.

I personally Thank You. :)

Top 100 Love Quotes and Sayings.. :)

1. "A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous."--Ingrid Bergmen

2. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.- Captain Corelli's Mandolin6.
