Reminiscing

Ramadan Day 25
Sungkai: 5:46pm

Wah, pecaya kamu, 5 hari lagi kan raya! Atu pun kalau nda nampak anak bulan. Kalau nda nampak anak bulan, jadi hari Rabu tah tu orang di Brisbane menyambut raya. Kalau nampak, bah, hari Selasa tah tu raya. I really hope the first day of Raya nanti will fall on the same day as Brunei. If not, it wouldn't feel the same, nda ja? I mean, kalau di sini raya sudah, d Brunei, alum tah tu. Biasanya mengcall during the first day of Raya, and siuk nya, during that time, dapat jua becakap dengan uncle-uncle, auntie-auntie and cousins since durang selalunya bekumpul during first day of raya. We'll be having lectures in the morning plang tu next week, baik jua the schedule will not be as busy as this week, since nada practicals lagi. Wah, I actually am looking forward to pakai baju raya, haha.. Skali skala ganya kali ah memakai baju kurung ani. We don't really get much opportunity to wear baju kurung di sini. Jarang plang nampak orang kan memakai baju kurung ke uni sini, since people opted to wear much comfy casual clothes saja, hehehe. Iatah ganya ni masa raya ani kan memakai baju kurung. Atu pun this year, kami nda plang ada semangat banar kan menyambut raya ani since our exams will be coming soon jua kan. So we don't have any big plans lah this year, unlike last year, kami ada open house lagi apa. Ani tinggal 4 minggu saja lagi exams! So nanti as with previous years, ada perkumpulan with all Muslim brothers and sisters during the first day of raya, kirakan Muslim societies apa atu lah tu bekumpul. I'm not sure where the gathering will be held this year. Last year arah Guyatt Park.

So masa ani mendangar-dangar lagu raya ku sudah. I wonder what my family is doing right now. Just the other day, masa ku call ke Brunei, my sister sibuk membuat biskut cornflakes nya, hehe.. siuk eh, and durang pun cuti skulah sudah masa ani. Sibuk tah kali ni durang mengeluarkan segala galas and pinggan mangkuk Raya. Yang ku kesiukan lah, kalau malam before raya atu, wah, siuk tu, sampat lagi tu, membuat some last minute decorations tia apa, memasang cucul dalam rumah tia, tukar carpet lah, sajukkan minuman tin dalam fridge tia, mengusai position of kerusi meja tia, hahaha.. Sighhhhh.. I miss raya in Brunei.. This will be my third Raya here celebrating it without my family. Sedih ku eh.. Jarang plang ku kan homesick, selalunya I'm one of the "kabal" ones compared to some of my frens (you know who u are, haha :p) Andang nya time-time kan raya ani tah tekenang-kenang kan family yang jauh. Apa bulih buat.. Biasa tah ku udah with this situation masa ani, hehe. I'm sure that my friends di sini pun in the same shoes as I am.

Anyway, bah enough reminiscing.. hehe..

So what have I been doing these past few days? On tuesday, ada physiology practical regarding vision. Okay lah the prac atu, this time barutah ada "practical" since we get to try out different equipments to check our vision, macam mencari blind spot kami, cemana tarangnya mata kami lah, etc, hehe. After prac, we went to the library to continue working on our FQs. Iski kami ke Graduates room di library atu since barutah this semester ku memakai the computers arah that room. Quite small plang tapi bisai lah jua. Sampat lagi ku sent text msgs to my parents since it was their anniversary jua that day. Masa di library atu, malar wah bebunyi parutku atu. I hope nda kedangaran orang sebalahku atu, haha. Ada skali ani wah, tarus-tarus bebunyi nyaring bah parutku ah, even aku pun tekajut, haha. Skalinya hyper aware ku tarus, since tarus2 sunyi wah, bunyi orang menaip pun beranti sekajap, hahaha.. I guess they were trying to figure out dari mana datang nya bunyi atu, hahaha.. Aku buat macam nda saja, eksen-eksen concentrate meliat notes, padahal muka panas, menahan merah padam, haha.. baik jua aku ani hitam manis, nda jua ketara merah padam muka ku, hahaha..

Nda batah lapas atu, kan pukul 2 tah sudah, so aku decide kan balik tah saja. Went home with Nabnab. Singgah ku arah c Acai since aku tais liur kan buat kek coklat, so membali tah ku Betty Crocker choc fudge cake. Baik jua ada, main tambah telur, air and minyak sikit saja, then di oven, hehehe.. Balik rumah, buat kek, then rehat, before we cooked sungkai. Malam buat kraja sendiri2.

On Wednesday, ada formative exam for clinical coaching. I did okay I guess, haha. Banyak kan di belajar for neurological exam atu, but each of us did 1 section saja. Aku kana the lower limb exam. At the same time, our tutor corrected some of our examining techniques jua tarus. We finished by 2:40pm. At 3pm, I went to a tutorial, where we discussed the stroke case. We finished by 4:30pm, then Nabnab and I balik rumah. Malam sungkai and buat kraja sendiri2. Aku belajar pun sampai tetidur-tidur, haha.. lalah ku last night atu. At least belurih belajar sikit jaditah.

Today, Yunyun and I attended the morning lectures, which were on vitamins and alcohol metabolism. Okay lah the lectures, aku suka the second lecture atu though. After lectures, ke printing shop, then ke library, before going to my noon PBL. The tutor said that everyone did well in their presentations tadi, so nyaman hati lah jua mendangar, hehe. After PBL, I met up with Yunyun since kami kan ke Coles bali barang for Iftar gathering this weekend nanti. Balik rumah, rehat2, masak for sungkai, then rehat some more, hehe, sambil dangar2 lagu raya. Sigh.
