Three Truths and A Lie

I was introduced to this game when Serene wrote the scene in Reason where Kakashi made up to Sakura after they were trapped in the elevator and she hit him after he scared her with a lame joke of the cable breaking and they fall but were saved by Jell-O cushion left by the Elevator Gnome.(I bet you don't understand what that sentence was about. I was referring to one of my fanfiction endeavours,

Shopping is A Domestic Skill All Ladies Should Perfect

2012-02-15T22:49:00.004+02:00

My travel mates really love shopping.Being in Spain where Zara originated, high-branded outlets on sale at every turn of the head, and our accommodations being just next to MANGO, H&M, Bershka, Blanco, Sfera among others, you guess where they start running to once the leash was off. We went to six cities altogether and at all six cities, there was always time allocated for shopping!I usually

I went hunting for a backpack.8.00pmEnd up at the end of the road, there's a tourist info kiosk at the corner of the square. Apparently I had found our meeting point. Went back hunting.8.50pmNo luck.

I approached the reception. "Hi, evening. I want to check in for the reservation under Nur Atiqah Mohd Hanifah, please."The guy behind the counter nodded. We didn't get as boisterous reception as that by Andreu in Madrid."These are your room keys. I'll work on these passports and you can come back for it in half an hour.""Okay then. See you in a bit."---A good hour later, I went down to the lobby

Vandalizing Madrid

2012-02-06T10:04:00.001+02:00

A visit to Madrid is not a visit to Madrid if you don't go to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. It was winter thus they close early and open too late for us to chance a tour inside.As a good family member (oh this is an inside joke), I did as per instructed through Twitter and voila!I am too nice of a good kid to vandalize, so we had to improvise.---Madrid was a beautiful city. The plazas were wonderful

Sweet as Fresh Oranges

Stopped at the mosque for afternoon and evening prayers. It was by the road, in front of a vast paddy field with an orange orchard beside it. Stepped through the slightly muddy road and tried to avoid the dried poo on the road while enjoying the view.Turned around to say hi to the poo machines.Sarah asked nicely and the owner gave her two oranges which she shared. Sweet thing. Oranges are good

The final talk they had prompted her to analyze how much he had changed from last year since she first became close to him. From a view, he had definitely became more judgmental using a basis she was not very sure about. His worldview had changed and distrust had started to linger. This was heading towards incompatibility. At the very least, he couldn't even read her cynicism and questioned

"J'aime votre sourire."

2012-01-22T09:56:00.002+02:00

Will you smile at me when you see me walking down the street?Because simply; smiling is sunnah, and you do know me at the very least. Can we not greet each other just as it is without either one feeling flirted on, if that's your cause for reservation. Because we can freely smile at patients to give them something other than our health messages, and we can freely smile at the cashier for wrapping

I Will Never Slap My Kid

2012-01-21T21:53:00.000+02:00

When you see a kid slapped by his mother and crying pitifully with tears streaming down his face, you'll wonder how many times had this occurred. Because for a parent to portray such abusive act in public, it surely has to be a normal occurrence in their private household beforehand. And you'll wonder just how much stressed the mother was to resort to slapping her child just from the kid crying

Bucket List

2012-01-16T21:34:00.008+02:00

Leslie Kane on Medscape compiled a bucket list of 20 and it was handy and inspiring. With the time bound of barely three years left of my studies, it's high time to really get down to what I want.A warning though, this list might appear of very high standard to the point of unachievable with a doctor's timetable. But that's the whole point of "Aim for the sky and at worst, you'll reach the stars"

Instead of studying, I curl and remember this.

But maybe the latter is just an excuse to not get a move on..Specifically I wanted to vent about information not of intellectual nor spiritual value. How do

Tersa is a rural area in Giza approximately 15 minutes drive from Kasr el-Ainy Medical School. We went there by two buses for the class's second visit to give health education to the family they visited during the first time. It was my first time out there, so I was the curious traveller. Upon entering the area, my nose picked up the stench of horses mingling with the hauntingly familiar 'ish

The last time I went to the bank, I took the wrong microbus which instead of going straight to the bank, took a left turn and later I was dropped off at an unfamiliar place. The only logical thing to do at that time was to trust my inner compass guided by Him and what logic He lent me and kept walking till I reach the bank.

Maybe around her, but with my flipping mood, I’d say I am normally content. I am blessed with so, so much.This song is content, River by Tatsuya Ishii.

Amalia has the commonest syndrome of the youngest girl with plenty of years separating her from her older siblings; 24-7 looking up to us which results in jealousy of everything. It didn't help that she's such a lovey girl who could be associated with a clingy cute kitten. I have something, she wants that too. And being dad's youngest girl, she pretty much gets everything she wanted. So when I'm

Whenever we discussed political corruptions at the dining table, I'd get real pissed off that I wanted to pull a Leverage on those corrupted asses. Some big shot names came up and my mind immediately recalled some of Ford's plans to bring them down. Then we'd discuss the shambles our police institution is known for and I'd get sickeningly sad at their dishonesty. My mind automatically went to

Some people have the brightest smile reflecting inner purity and sincerity; contagious and highly viral, and you can't help but to be happy at the receiving end. Others however have the crooked version shining out sinister aura at its best. Hakim reads his Al-Madkhal and Juz 'Amma after every Maghrib prayers. I am with the latter. I can't smile, I'm more of a smirking kind of person. Now this

Finally got a truck for Kevin.It is made from plastic with a rope attached to a ring for ease of dragging it around. Actually it's a beach toy set and comes with a mini watering can (hardly the size of my palm), a mini shovel and a mini rake (double as a back-scratcher).Nice colour, right? The pastel combination is soothing with a childish hint. I especially like the pink that gives this typical

This is a case of love at first sight after second thoughts. I love boots, it does nothing but screams badass. But I admit it's impossible to find a Blundstone boots in Malaysia even when you scrounge the nooks of Suria KLCC and MidValley. So the next best thing is an ankle booties, if it's not a bit too on the feminine side. Found one while wondering in iSetan. Armadillo Pleaded Leather Bootie

Two years ago after sending my dad off at his check-in counter at Heathrow Terminal 4, I trotted along with my bag in tow for my flight to Egypt (mine was Terminal 3, I think?) and was alone to amuse myself. So indeed it was soothing that the check-in British Airway officer was young and very friendly with pretty smile some more ;) I get that Britons are polite people, but they are not exactly

Nevertheless, a 12 o'clock one works out either way.I blame jet-lag.2) A Limitless brain is funYou know how they said, an expert is someone who can simplify the most complex of things?

It is the Grand Exam Hall after all.For ease of reference, let me call my seat mine. It is located on the first floor, middle of the hall and backed to the wall with an outside view of the top of Biochemistry/

I haven’t seen her much nowadays thanks to not staying at my place for the past two months.From her coat, I like to assume that she’s of the Russian Blue breed. They have short-haired blue-gray coat which with care, will reflect a silvery gray. And they are

It has a big window behind the counter where the owner, a young lady in apron smiling her straight line of cuteness, will prepare soup of the day housed in this smart white bowl with handles.

If you are sinned, cunning and whatever, you'll see it as grayish black.'But what if I

23rd May is World Turtle Day.So as your hyper animal activist, viral spread among the community is a must. But since we have our Microbiology practical final exam on this same day, I couldn't focus on campaigning for the Green Baju Day, but I did my so-called best with the people I encountered.But of course, you can't save the turtles simply by wearing green, nothing is that simple.

We just have to believe in ourself and give it a shot and who knows, maybe you'll even enjoy yourself doing so.Of course, it requires that we know that person enough to know which criteria to build, his capacity and also degree of tolerance. This is to ensure

New Approach to Blood Donating

2011-04-30T01:07:00.001+02:00

Let me shift your paradigm about blood donating.First, it's about sharing with others the very thing that keeps you living. Instead of just sharing food, reminders, notes, pens and punches that are mutually regarded as essential for the survival of human, why not donate blood and practically own that person for life?Second, it's about building up concern for animals and nature. Your donated blood

This could probably top my most boring flight ever. No in-flight entertainment!"Discounted service," dad replied me. "Be grateful."Talk about lack of enthusiasm. I ate my breakfast croissant with gusto but merely scraped my nasi lemak. Stowed the yogurt, muesli bites and OJ for later and had my table cleared. Oh, the coffee was obligatory.Later when we landed in Dubai, I ate my leftovers. Maybe
