A week to be remembered

Salam.

The other day, I cried knowing I'll have to be superwoman this week. Out of sudden, I suffered from shoulder+neck pain after woke up from sleep, and it was super scary. I felt the tension whenever I moved my head. Booked a session to meet a G.P. but unfortunately, silly me, I booked a 'PAP SMEAR/SMEAR SWABS' clinic session. How embarassing I was when the practitioner asked me, 'are you here to check your sexual health?' with a smile on her face. Later I found out that I have booked a wrong session. How would I know. *sigh* so I went out from the room, blushed all the way. Guess I'll never get the chance to get my neck checked. It's so hard to see a doctor here in the UK. We have to book a session. But surely they have a walk-in health service somewhere, but it's too far to walk with the pain. Alhamdulillah, all is good now. Still the pain didn't go away, but slowly it's recovering. I got to play sports again! yey! This time, netball and badminton :)

I wish I can write more. But I have to go to the library now. We got no internet at home so I have to do some research for my project. Will be busy with netball training, work with uni, interviews, and preparation for SHEFFIELD MALAYSIAN GAMES! Hopefully I won't collapse along the way. I am so tired! Juggling around so many responsibilities may sound hard, but I'm trying to enjoy each of it. Surely sooner or later, I'll miss being a student like this :)

gtg. till i write again :)

Dear my little sister,

Salam.

Chin up my dear sister, everything is gonna be fine *hugs* :)

There will always be a time in life, where people will stop doing what they're doing and think, 'am I actually doing the right thing in my life? Did I make the right decision?'

and that always happen to me, dear sister :)

I've always wondering if what I have now will only bring tears instead of joy, if this will only lasts when I am a student and not anymore in my adulthood life. I am scared to think what's waiting for me, coz only He knows.

"It's always too early to say that 'I'M QUITTING'. and it should never cross in your mind in the first place." That's what I always think. 

The reality is, we're not perfect. We have emotions. We have passions and we have ambitions. But, we have HIM for sure. So look up for Him when you feel down. Surround yourself with positive people. If there's one thing that could make you feel bad, then leave it. Leave it even though you'll feel all alone. Don't worry, Allah is there for you, remember? :)

Always think about what you have rather than what you don't have. Allah gave you an easy path to be in where you are now. So be grateful and always welcome challenges :)

When I really step into the real world of engineering, I was clueless. I never like anything about machine, I never like anything about materials. What I knew back then was only how to decorate a house, how to sketch, draw and colour, how to organize your home, and how to design a house plan. I was so passionate about doing this thing. and in a blink, everything was gone and I felt like I was in a total opposite world. The world seems odd to me, and I felt like I was a stranger. It was the downside of life.

But hey, should we just stop and blame Him? Not right?

You have your friends to help you, you have your family who believes in you, and most importantly, although I could not help you a lot coz my brain has become an engineer's brain in total, but I'll be there for you to help you go through this. 

Ummi must be really proud of you now, you know? She told me one day, "Ummi selalu teringin nak ada anak seorang arkitek".

When I think about it again, I would cry coz I could not make her dreams come true. But now I know, you are now there to make her happy, to make her proud of you :) 

So when you're feeling down, always think about Baba and Ummi who are already proud of you, of your improvements, of your capabilities and of yourself! Make them your inspirations. Always imagine them when you feel like quitting. Always always look up for them when you feel like you don't have anything. They have done a lot for us, so it's time for us to give them the happiness that they should get. We might not wealthy in money, but we have the happiness. So make full use of it, ok dear sister? :)

and to me, I BELIEVE IN YOU. and I promise, when I got back in summer, or anytime in the future, I'll help you. I'll help you to face this, to do your works, to make you a stronger person. This might be bias to Akak, Wawa, Amal and Adik, but you know you're doing something I would love to help anytime, so dont worry, Kak Ieda is here :)

Lastly, believe in yourself. Life is hard, you see. So it's normal to feel exhausted and to feel like the world is against you. But Allah is there for you. Recite the Al-Quran when you feel alone, and perhaps every single day. It will make you stronger and calmer to face the challenges. Be ready to face whatever that might come along the way, and never stop praying for Allah to ease your way.

InsyaAllah, everything is gonna be fine.


Love you a lot H,
Kak Ieda :)

About me and him

Salam.

Whenever I feel sad, down and bad, I will always put myself in my dad's situation. Why? Because he's the person who changed my mind, the person who always motivates me no matter what.

He's an engineer. I wonder how he made it till he graduated. Amazing! and at the age of 21, he decided that he's ready enough so he got married with Ummi. What a huge responsibility to carry but he did it amazingly. I know about how hard he worked to give us a comfortable life to live in. His working experiences were amazing. and he sure has bigger responsibilities than me. and why did I never stop whining? I salute you Ba, seriously I do.


The mens in my life. Soon to be added more. Husband. Brother in laws. Nephews. phew :p

"Tak sabar nak raya kat rumah sendiri satu hari nanti. Nanti sebelum raya boleh bakar lemang kat belakang rumah dengan menantu-menantu, lepas tu main dengan cucu2. Korang semua (referring to the daughters) tolong ummi masak kat dapur" (Baba, 2011)

Sweet kan Baba saya ni? <3


You're my world's greatest dad, indeed :)

Saw these photos of his actions at work. He's incredibly a great leader, I must say masyaAllah. Whatever he do, he does it with his optimum efforts. He is my truly closest inspiration! His motivating and inspiring words and his acts, subhanallah, syukur alhamdulillah ya Allah that I have my Baba!




Courtesy of 'Kawan Baba' (Facebook tagged photos) :p

and when I showed him my presentation videos, he said:
"Wow! Alhamdulillah .... Baba dah tengok dah video tu. HEBAT!!! That's my daughter. I just can't wait that one day you'll present papers at international conferences. Baba baru jer balik dari Indoor Air Quality International Conference. Ramailah Mech Engrs yg present paper pasal HVAC system. Terharu plak dah tengok Ieda present dengan British accent (ada lah sikit2 ... Hehe)" (Baba, 2010)

He's expecting me to become a good engineer too! What a huge challenge but it will be worth to try right? That's why I MUST NEVER GIVE UP! and of course behind a great leader there's a powerful woman, which is Ummi <3

I must never disappoint Baba and Ummi, and I must work very hard. 

"Ya Allah, peliharalah mereka seperti mana mereka memelihara ku sejak kecil. Berkatilah kehidupan seharian mereka. Berikanlah kesihatan yang terbaik kepada mereka. and Kurniakanlah rezeki dan kebahagiaan kepada mereka dan kami sekeluarga dunia dan akhirat"

Allah... Beratnya rasa. Aku rindu mereka semua di Malaysia. Ketika aku bermusafir ini, ketika mereka jauh, ketika aku tidak dapat memeluk cium mereka dengan kasih sayang, Kau Lindungilah mereka.. Kau lindungilah mereka tanpa henti. Semoga mereka di Malaysia bahagia.. 


rindu. rindu teramat.
