Satu petang di CUH

this afternoon i bumped into Dr Khusyairi aka Kucai at the hospital. i feel old for knowing this guy.

Kucai : Atiq! Ape cite? Ehh...tak tak...ape cer??

Atiq : Takde cite...haha. Biasa je. You memang stay kat sini ke? Tak balik kerja kat Malaysia? *accusing eye sebab Kucai ex president Kelab UMNO yg suka kempen suruh orang balik*

Kucai : I dapat contract lama lagi, tapi I think I'm gonna cut it short and go back this June.

Atiq : oh...right. eh..when's the wedding?!

Kucai : Last week!

Atiq : Lorh ye ke....Selamat Pengantin Baru!

Kucai : Haha thanks. Eh Atiq kau single ke? Takde boyfriend?

Atiq : Takdek.

Kucai : Hah? Kau takde boyfriend?! Wey ada orang nak kenal dengan kau.

Atiq : Ha-ha very funny Kucai.

Kucai : EH tak ah, betul ah ni! Eh kau takde boyfriend ke?!

Atiq : TAKDEEE.

At this point we reached the end of the hallway and were going separate ways, so we *awkwardly* waved and said goodbye.


the POINT of this blog is that it felt nostalgic, talking to him because i knew him when i was in 1st year (i think he was a 4th year back then), and i even thought of match-making him with Kakak! and now he's married....time flies.

exam lusa! doakan Atiq!

kids grow up too fast

you see these pretty pictures i stole from Opie's blog?

you see that pretty cotton kurung my 13 year old little sister is wearing? the one that fits her perfectly?

yeah. that's mine. THAT IS MINE. I STILL FIT IN THAT KURUNG.

p.s. yes I know Didie's a spitting image of me. pastu pakai my clothes plak tu sabar je.

'Atiq, bila pulak kau balik for your sister's engagement ni??'
'That's not me lah! Adik aku la tu, adoooiila'

my room look like a t-rex sneezed in it.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA

saya makan sangat banyak. Adilah masak rendang yang sangat sedap dan kuah kacang dan nasi himpit pujaan kalbu juga sangat sedap.

walaupun i would have loved to have nasik dagang in kelate, or daging bakar dan pencicah (LOL i wrote penyicah whatthefish bahasa melayu standard so gagal one) ibu saudara yang sentiasa menjadi igauan setiap kali raya haji...tapi i suppose i should be thankful.

i might not have family and fantastic food, but i have lovely friends and good food, and that shall suffice for the time being :)

i went to Supernova and celebrated eid with the Cork muslim community instead of to Brookfield to celebrate with the Malaysians, and it was refreshing to see so many people in so many colours (white, yellow, brown, black....you name it, we have it) and so many different cultures in one place, celebrating one thing :)

i invited Heba the Kuwaiti over to our house to have lunch, sebab i felt sorry for her for not having anything to do to celebrate eid (she wanted to go to Supernova with us but she overslept)...she walked in wearing her normal attire of expensive clothes head-to-toe like a true blue Kuwaiti, and i let out a smal 'aaahhhhh' when i saw her off-white baby doll coat.

at first i thought it was the coat i saw in Dunnes but never got round to buying because i didn't need (and couldnt afford) a new coat...but seconds after that i realized that that was Heba- there's no way in hell that she'd be wearing something from Dunnes. no. way.

then Mas asked where she got the coat from, and she was like 'oh, French Connection.' aaaaahh. patutla cutting sungguh immaculate.

anyway long story short...Mas told her it's my birthday next week, and she...

SHE GAVE ME THE FRIGGIN' COAT.

(okay nobody's allowed to tell her i write this in my blog, you know how she is)

granted that it really needs dry cleaning and she never really liked it anyway, but still.


SHE. GAVE. ME. THE. FCUK. COAT.

(FCUK as in french connection uk, not as in a misspelled something else)

i ebayed the coat and found out the price was like 135 pounds?!?! WHAT. my Oasis coat was 80 pounds and i nearly cried the day after i bought it.

AND it's a size 6. i fit into a size 6?! vanity sizing, much?




early birthday gift, wooo. people are going to forget my birthday again this year because it's in the middle of Christmas exams (as per usual) but issokay. i forget people's birthdays ALL the time, i iz in no place to complain.

all-in-all a good eid alhamdulillah :) only now my head is spinning a little bit from food overdose.



xoxo
Atiqah
the coat might be the first and only FCUK item i'd ever own...haha.

gambar banjir as requested by mikichan

our town was pretty badly hit but has since been recovered and cleaned up well

college students being evacuated fr the Students' Accomodation apartments..

that's the posh new building, and yeap that's a bridge you're seeing being flooded by water

this is where the 1st years live. they are now refugees in my house.
even though the flood has dried up already, the apartments' water
and electricity has been cut off until next week



okay Jan, hope that's enough pics fer you!

update re flood

WE DON'T HAVE CLASS ALL WEEK NEXT WEEK WOOOOO.

but poor college have to cover a lot of damages, not to forget those ppl whose apartments were flooded :(


BUT NO CLASS. FOR A WHOLE WEEK BEFORE THE EXAMS.

Alhamdulillah...but now got no alasan to do badly in exams, yo.

authority conflict

first we received a text and an email from UCC saying;

'...In view of the extent of the damage to core academic facilities the university has taken the decision to postpone all lectures and other teaching activities for the week commencing Monday, 23^rd November 2009 and to recommence classes on Monday 30^th November. ...'

and then the Medical School sent an email that goes;

'To all Third and Fourth Year Medical Students, further to the message you will have received from UCC in relation to the postponement of teaching at UCC next week, please note that teaching at our clinical sites (including rotations, clinics and lectures/tutorials etc) is going ahead...'

and then UCC sent another email saying;

'...Please note the confirmation below that ALL teaching has been cancelled until November 30th and ALL assignments have had a week added to their deadline.

This is the same for ALL students of ALL disciplines regardless of what certain departments have claimed...'


It's like they're bickering or something. Confusing.

In other news, Heba the Kuwaiti is stranded because her apartment is flooded so now she's staying over in my room for a couple of days - I'm providing a living space for a flood refugee! LOL never thought that would happen.

The flood here is purrrty bad. Especially since it's raining again today. It's funny though, how Cork town got into a massive flood after ONE whole day of rain. You would think that a country like Ireland, who's famous for it's rain after the leprechauns, would have a better draining system/infrastructure/plan/whateveryoucallit for floods.

To be fair, though, River Lee runs through the whole of Cork and the town is practically surrounded by the river. So when River Lee bursts its banks - terus sadaqallahul'azim.

my house is safe because it's pretty high up.

hilarious tweeters.

i randomly found a user with the username 'big_ben_clock' on Twitter and they post a tweet in an hourly basis, all of them saying 'BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG'

LOLOLOL.

okok study time.

all thanks to the rain.

Yesterday I woke up to the sound of the wind howling and rain smashing on my window. It was a chilly winter day as usual, but the rain is something else. True, the rain in nothing new in Ireland, but I think the last time it rained like that over here is 3 years ago.

I sat on my bed, hesitating to emerge from the comforts of my duvet. I pulled the curtains away and squinted my eyes to see how bad the weather is...and saw that our big black wheelie bin has flown all the way to the middle of the backyard.

...so I skipped the hospital yesterday because I don't feel like braving through the heavy rain. ngahah. I wasn't learning anything anyway...the anaesthetics in the South sucks at teaching (except Rajiv, but Faimee dah bgtau Rajiv kelmarin yang esoknya dia nak datang lagi...huk2. minggu depan Atiq nak gi awal gile pastu cop theatre yang ada Rajiv *impian*)

But today is a different story. The sky is bright and blue by half past 8 and so I went out and headed towards campus for my 9am class. Halfway there, I met Wany who yelled at me from across the street;

'ATIQ, CAMPUS BANJIR!! KELAS SEMUA CANCEL!!!!'

Pergh. Those were probably the best words I've ever heard being yelled at me from across the street ever. Hehe.

Anyway it's not THAT much fun...because they're saying tomorrow's going to be heavy rainfall again, and the weather forecast is almost always right sbb alam sekitar kan ikut sunnatullah, so boleh predict2...hmmm. Habisla mesti trapped dalam rumah lagi tomorrow.



...I wonder, adakah ini satu peringatan dari Allah...?~

أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاء عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارًا وَجَعَلْنَا الأَنْهَارَ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ

Apakah mereka tidak memperhatikan berapa banyaknya generasi-generasi yang telah Kami binasakan sebelum mereka, padahal (generasi itu), telah Kami teguhkan kedudukan mereka di muka bumi, yaitu keteguhan yang belum pernah Kami berikan kepadamu, dan Kami curahkan hujan yang lebat atas mereka dan Kami jadikan sungai-sungai mengalir di bawah mereka, kemudian Kami binasakan mereka karena dosa mereka sendiri, dan kami ciptakan sesudah mereka generasi yang lain. (6:6)


hishk. Mari tingkatkan ibadah di awal bulan Zulhijjah ni...pahala macam orang pergi jihad.

i just got a swine flu vaccine jab alhamdulillah, UCC is giving it free to the medical/dental/nursing students.

no more decepticon masks after this, wooo

i'm born with the wind as my element. it's not my fault i'm so indecisive/crazy.

heh alasan tak kukuh langsung.

awake at half past one again.

taking the quarter to eight bus again tomorrow.



i need to calm down.


lessons of life are valuable, but the learning process is just so, so, painful. a lot of souls are hurt and scarred when you make inevitable mistakes. and all you can do is look back helplessly, feeling a heavy weight of guilt...and then you try your best to swallow your ego and say you're sorry.


i hate exams almost as much as i hate tempe. and tempe makes me vomit.

o hai blog!

it's 5 past two in the morning and i have to take the quarter to 8 bus tomorrow!

saya suka cari pasal like this.

sleep time!

Dear Time,

I've acquired mild asthma, and even without it, my stamina fail level is almost as bad as Britney's live performance capabilities. ALMOST, I say. So slow down a bit, kay? I can't catch up with you.

Just now Martina Kelly gave us a briefing on what's going to happen in second semester. I mean, SECOND SEMESTER, Time? Surely there must be a mistake? Please take those rollerblades off, Time. Stop LAUGHING, it's not funny!

You have a sick sense of humor and I hate you so much for always making me stand on my tiptoes ready to sprint. But I'm stuck with you forever. You like that, don't you. No matter how mean and horrid you are, people just have to accept it like it is.

But you can be nice sometimes. I'll give that to you.


Yours sincerely,
Atiqah.

p.s. rollerblades are so 1996.

as insane as a sane person can be: Awah.

nobody have any idea how excited i am for Awah's wedding. Abe Bob is just so right for her. they're so crazy and dysfunctional together. it's the only way a relationship that involves an Awah in it would be.

you know this girl Tengku Farah Petri, i totally hated her when i was small. i didn't want to have anything to do with her when i was in my teens. we ignored each other, even when we went to the same high school. and it was a BOARDING school, mind you.

i don't remember when it was exactly, i think it was some time when i was in KMB, when Awah just changed. like 180degrees changed. she's suddenly...nice. and she became this person that i can actually talk to, a person that crack jokes that i can laugh with (instead of being laughed at), a person i can count on, a person who offers to help me with things, a person i like instead of hate....suddenly, we became sisters.

and then i found out about Abe Bob, and i realized that that was what happened to her. he happened to her. almost immediately then, i knew that he was the real deal. that he was Mr. Right, even though she calls him Bobbygendut.

i can't wait for the relationship to be halal pada pandangan Allah...i have a feeling they'd have a remarkable life together :)



and i can't wait to see Awah do some parenting.

it's going to be freaking hilarious.

roadside diagnosis

i was walking down Firgrove Lawn with a couple of final meds this afternoon (it was a lovely day, by the way!) and we saw a cute elderly couple walking across the road in the opposite direction.

'eh tengok tengok makcik tu bawak pakcik tu jalan!'

'naaawwww so cuute!!'

'tu gait ape ek?'

'shuffling gait.'

'shuffling gait ke?'

'yeap. small steps, wide-based. bradykinesia, resting tremor. Parkinson's Disease!'

=O


i freaking love geeks. they can't just say 'nawww how cute, they're holding hands!' like normal people would.

nope. they just have to list the clinical signs and make a diagnosis for the poor old man.

the South (short for South Infirmary-Victoria Univ Hospital)

nobody in the South wears white coats, except the medical students. well SOME of the doctors do, but there's very few of them. most just wear formal clothes or scrubs. but this morning i went to the 8am ward round and i saw this interesting lady doctor (also on ward round with her team). she wore huge brown knee-length cowboy boots, blue leggings, and a blue dress. her blonde hair was tied up in a haphazard mess, and she was CHEWING GUM. and her white coat. oh my God, her white coat. it was SO crinkled! like not even the normal lazy boy kind of crinkled, it's left-in-the-laundry-basket-for-a-month crinkled! the question is, though, blog. if she didn't even have to wear the white coat, why did she bothered with it at all? think about it, blog.

(conclusion: she = gangsta)

also, i need to practically RUN to keep in pace with the consultant, and i had to look 60degress upwards to look at the senior registrar's eyes when he's talking to me.

anyhow.

i heard a murmur today. but my ears are crazy and heard it at the aortic area when it's actually a pan-systolic murmur in the mitral valve area. i didn't even know there was supposed to be a murmur, so my brain wasn't even making up things! i'm so crazy/deaf.

oooohhh last night i went to K Amy's place to present a couple of cases to her, and she basically spent like an hour and a half correcting me and teaching me how to present a case properly. Kak Amy = nice + smart + pretty.

bye now!

walking spree

i walked the one hour walk from South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (saja bagi nama penuh hospital ni...panjangggg bangat) back to my house in Bishopstown again. Faimee and Evelyn made me do it. sigh.

and i'm going to Kak Amy's place later tonight to present a patient's history to her. i presented another case to Aiman (...or should i say, Dr. Aiman) this afternoon, and it wasn't too bad. but that's only because i was the last one among us three to do it, and he was ready to go back to his work by then. he picked on Faimee a lot because Faimee didn't know what most of his patient's medications are for (i didn't even have my one's drug list- completely forgot to look at her charts).

When Dr Aiman asked us what are the side effects of taking ACE inhibitor, the answer 'hypotension' got stuck in my throat, as per usual. i wanted to kick myself when he mentioned it as the most important side effect, so i managed to miraculously say another side effect out loud and not just in my brain; hyperkalemia. phew.

it's one thing, knowing the right answer, saying it is a completely different thing. for me, at least. i'm a wuss.

gotta learn how to be more confident, Atiqah.

bye now!

of pointless classes and things

today NONE of the Cardiology team were there in the hospital; the Consultant is still on leave, both the Senior Registrar and the Intern were in CUH, and Kak Amy's (the SHO) off for this week. Evelyn, Faimee and I all got there about an hour late, which was GOOD, or else we wouldn't know what to do before the tutorial with Brad Noel because the South is a busy hospital and nobody cares about lost and confused 3rd Meds. we're at the bottom of the hospital food chain.

i walked all the way from the South to CUH, which takes about an hour (it felt like i lost a stone afterwards, except not really) for my Gross Pathology class, and the tutor is SO weird and we barely learned anything. then i have a one hour gap before the Pathology Practical, so i went to the study room....

....and sat opposite this WEIRD guy who kept staring at me, but he's not really staring at me, you know what i mean? he was daydreaming, like. it was SO distracting and i kept looking up and looking at him to make him stop looking in my direction, but it didn't work because his mind is clearly at home, in bed. or something. i dunno.

and then i went for Practical, and the computers are all off and the screen at my side of the room weren't working, and the new room is built in this awkward position (the designer is clearly not too bright), in that we can't see the other screen. so we sat there, listening to the tutor going on and on about things on the slides we can't actually see. POINTLEESSSSSSS.

WHATEVER.

AT LEAST THE SUN IS OUT TODAY, which is a HUGE plus considering it rained all day, morning to night, yesterday.

the sun really made things a lot better. i now understand why the mat sallehs are so obsessed with the sun.

kthxbai! heading for a talk on campus now, and then to the library!!

pour one's heart out into Literature/happy post for once

Salam wbt,

I just realized that lately I've been writing when I have strong emotions filling my brain and heart, resulting in posts that are 1. gelabah 2. sad 3. angry/panick/sad, etc.

Bila I happy jarang pulak I tulis blog. Kesian blog I. I tak emoooo sebenarnya in real life. Kalau nangis pun sorang2 dalam bilik sebab malas nak cerita kat orang. Ok lah meh kita cita pasal benda happy yang jadi kat Atiq of late....

apa ehhh benda happy?? gehehe. ohhh...contoh benda happy is being attached to the nice and smart Kak Amy in my current clinical rotation; BEST k boleh tulis2 kat facebook wall dr yg you attached to, saying things like 'Kak Amy, Atiq nk present case pacemaker guy ko Kak Amy esok k!!'. selalunya sangat intimidated dgn doctors nak present pun rasa cam nak muntah nervous and cakap apa pun semua rasa bodoh and points penting semua lupa.

eh ok ok kita tengah cite benda happy. lupa lupa.

Lagi satu benda happy adalah partner saya Evelyn (dah 5 minggu stuck with her, and 3 more weeks to go) is nice and funny and we get along pretty well. This is important sebab kalau tak depress k kalau dapat American sombong ke contohnya, nanti nak minum coffee dengan siapa kalau doctor cakap takde patient and die ade keje sikit, sila pegi breakfast dulu (true story)

Hehhhh semua benda happy revolve around medical school bosan kan saya? Haha sorry hidup saya revolve around sekolah dan hospital sahaja!

Oh, another important happy news is; I'm feeling better! Alhamdulillah :D

Autumn is no longer as pretty as it was because the golden/red/yellow leaves are all now just dead brown and on the ground, and the trees are mostly bald. Winter exams is coming up and I'm going to start staying back at the hospital study room bc it's a 5 minutes walk from my new house.

The last happy news is I'm (insyaAllah) going to Czech and France and Monaco for the winter break, hoo-hah! One of these days I'll go to Germany as well biiznillah. Kumpul-kumpul cop dalam passport nenong.

right then! that's enough dose of happiness for now yeah blog?~

macam mana nak pegi hospital rotation nihhh....nak dengar tutorial dr brad noeeellll uwwaaaa...~~

dah ramai orang kena infect dgn atiq, should i quarantine myself, should iiiii???....tapi nak belajar kat hospital, rotation tinggal 3 hari je lagi, lepas tu dah kena masuk OT tsk.


doakan kesihatan atiq please?

a clarification that is not meant to sound too strong tapi akhirnya sound too strong jugak taktau nak buat cane harap maaf.

i do everything i do because i understand them and i want to do them; i don't do things i don't do because i don't want to and nobody (except Allah) tells me not to do them.


contoh mudah:

orang kafir - Why do you wear the hijab in Ireland? Nobody knows if you take them off, we won't tell your family.

orang Islam - kenapa buat ym id baru pastu tak ajak kawan2 laki? kakak-kakak tu tak kasik kau kawan dengan laki eh?


do I look like a person who will do/stop doing something because a PERSON told me to do so?
do you even know me?
i'm my own person. i do things because of God, and because of me.

tak pergi Dublin. tak sihat :(

no pattern no warnin no anythin

hehey guys.

i'm still plagued with the cough. Di suggested i might be asthmatic and now it's really getting to my head that i'm asthmatic. sebab bila sejuk2 tu ada chest tightness.

adeyh typical medical student suka fobia pastu diagnose diri sendiri.

hish hassle betul nak kena pergi student health center yang jauh itu. nasib baek Miss Lempanglah Saya receptionist dah tak kerja kat situ sekarang, menduga keimanan dan kesabaran je kerja dia.

anyway i'm confused about whether or not i should go to Dublin and meet up with Kels, because i love her to bits and i needed to see her, and she was really hoping to see me as well. BUT. my cough is getting worse (despite my predicting it'd probably be better by friday, just in time before i see her), i have tons of things i need to settle here in Cork...and. i don't know. it just doesn't feel right to go?

i'd feel guilty for forever if i don't go though~ uwwaaa...

i'm rarely sick, perlula pula sakit masa kelly nak datang kan. oh noooo....what if i infect die pulak nanti kalau atiq jadi pergi?? tadi pergi rumah Clashduv, Taq muka kesian gila, sakit...jangkit batuk ngan atiq...hisy muka saya begitu ke sekarang?? Tadi selisih dengan Muiz dia buat muka kesian and Fendi cakap 'Atiq you look really sick'

i think i look fine?? mungkin sebab masa tu baru lepas jalan...the cold make it worse *sambung stress rasa diri dah start asthma*

HEY ATIQAH RAMBLING APA NI TAKDE POINT.

TAKTAU NAK PERGI DUBLIN KE TAK ESOK TRAIN PUKUL 5 PAGI WARGH TOLONGGG.


Atiqah

p.s. dah lama tak rasa stress fikir 'adakah mereka sedang mengumpat saya?' sebab dah lama behave secara tidak cari pasal, dan menjauhkan diri dari geng gossip sebab diri ini banyak kekurangan yang boleh dibuat bahan umpatan. tapi malam ni rasa lagi. hisy lantaklah. tak bersalah fikir secara tak bersalah. pedulilah orang cakap apa.

p.p.s. tapi still peduli T___T tolonglah say anything to my face jangan cakap belakang. baru saya boleh terangkan.

p.p.p.s. Atiqah cakap kat siapa, blog ni kan private T___________T *monolog*

Dari hati seorang da'ie

there are many things i don't get about people. there are even more things i don't get about Muslims in the modern days.

i was sitting at the airport one day when a blonde little boy walked in front of me and pointed, his fingers inches away from my face, and said;

'Daddy, this lady is strange.'


From Abu Hurairah RA, he said: Rasulullah SAW said: "Islam was strange when it began and will one day be strange again; Blessed are those strange people". [H.R.Muslim]

the thing is, little boy. what is normal isn't necessarily right. what is strange isn't necessarily wrong.

berjalan di jalan yang benar pada tahun 2009 di atas muka bumi ini merasa perit; kaki tembus dicucuk duri, hati luka dicemuh orang. manusia-manusia yang berpegang teguh pada Islam dipandang begitu aneh oleh masyarakat. bukan sahaja pada masyarakat barat di bumi Ireland ini, malah oleh masyarakat Muslim di Malaysia juga.

it's true that i got sidetracked many, many, times. actually, i didn't just sidetracked, i strayed kilometres away from the path, fell down the road, got hurt, stayed in a hospital, and took ages to get back on track.

ok analogy ni atiq sorang je faham. harap maaf.

Allah terima ke taubat atiq? setelah atiq derhaka sampai begitu sekali. setelah atiq melangkah di dunia seperti tiada Tuhan yang memerhati. setelah atiq membuat janji-janji yang sekarang membuat atiq buntu.

datangkah hidayah itu lagi pada atiq, setelah berkali-kali atiq berpaling darinya?

bagaimana caranya untuk atiq melepaskan hati atiq dari mereka yang atiq sayangi tetapi adalah haram untuk atiq?

bagaimana caranya untuk atiq kekal di atas jalan ini, sedangkan sudah berkali-kali hidayah itu datang dan pergi...sudah muak orang di sekeliling melihat atiq melalui semua ini...munafik kah diri atiq? nauzubillahi min zaalik. sedangkan umar al-khattab risau memikirkan adakah dirinya tergolong dalam golongan munafik...apatah lagi atiq? siapa atiq berbanding Umar?

mungkinkah atiq seorang yang beruntung? walaupun berkali-kali atiq sesat...berkali-kali itu juga Allah suluh semula jalan hidup atiq. mengapa atiq begitu mudah hanyut dengan arus dunia? mengapa begitu mudah terpikat dengan nikmat di dunia, begitu mudah terpedaya dengan bisikan syaitan?

'Sesungguhnya kehidupan di dunia itu hanyalah permainan dan senda gurau' (47:36)

pelik memikirkan bagaimana hidup di Ireland ini yang akhirnya memperkenalkan atiq dengan Islam. bila orang mula mempersoalkan; mengapa atiq memakai tudung? mengapa atiq tidak minum arak? maka tatkala itu baru atiq berfikir, berfikir tentang sesuatu yang tidak pernah atiq fikirkan sebelum ini.

berjalan di bumi Birmingham, di Coventry Street begitu indah di mata atiq; ada sesuatu yang istimewa pada manusia yang berjalan disitu. dari niqab yang dikenakan, dari pergaulan yang dijaga. dari ketenangan yang hadir bersama semua itu.

hati atiq sentiasa tersentuh apabila disapa 'Assalamualaikum, sister' oleh orang-orang yang entah siapa. ikatan aqidah itu begitu manis dirasakan, sesuatu yang tidak mungkin atiq rasai jika atiq terus di Malaysia. indah kan ukhuwwah yang Allah sediakan untuk hamba-hambaNya?

oh, Malaysia. mengapa terus-menerus membiarkan mereka hanyut dibuai mimpi dunia? tidakkah mereka lihat, betapa hina dan sempitnya semua ini? tidakkah hati mereka memberontak untuk sesuatu yang lebih mendalam, lebih bermakna daripada kejayaan dan pencapaian dunia yang sementara?
