my year of challenges

...that's how i would labeled year 2009.
believe it or not, there were times when i just gone amuk, questioning why must things be so hard on me? why must living be so tiring? and why am i struggling just to breathe? sacrifices were made. tears were shed. prayers were done endlessly; hoping that Allah will makes it easier for me during those hard moments or at least grant me with the strength to face it all.

in the end of the day, life is like a wheel - sometimes you're on top but other times, you have to stay at the bottom. it sucks when things don't work out as planned but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. i fell, i cried because it was painful but then i stood up again. it ain't easy, people! there were times when i thought i should just call it "a quit" - afterall going down the stairs is way easier than climbing up.

but Allah knows what's best for you, and won't give you more that you can take.
plus....i don't know what else i can do if i don't end up becoming a dentist! *__*

and i have to admit that i was blessed with countless wonderful things throughout the year!

kicked off the year back at home (shah alam yo!) thanks to along for sponsoring my flight ticket. managed to traveled to interesting places in-between the hectic-ness of dental school; be it within the UK itself [york, birmingham - conquered cadbury world!, stratford-upon-avon, edinburgh, glasgow, highlands of scotland] and somewhere further [greece, japan!!! and finally an island in malaysia apart from langkawi&penang - pulau pangkor trip]. syukur alhamdulillah for the new addition to the family- faris aiman- currently the apple of the eye of my parents [who now called themselves tok abah and tok mama - which i find it a lil bit funny. ha ha ha]. definitely the year i've became too attached to food; be it those that i cooked/baked or those new restaurants that we are checking-out *wink* on top of all that, i'm glad that i am finally a 24 year old dental finalist surrounded by extraordinary crowd that have been supplying unconditional love and support to keep me sane and alive.

and now twenty-ten is here....already?

i'm not looking forward to it because i'm pretty sure it will be one hell of a ride! and i'm not sure what the new year has in store for me but if i can make a wish -
"all i want for twenty-ten is the right patients at the right time to complete all of the dental requirements to graduate in July after passing all of the written paper, seen and unseen cases so that i can balik for good and accept the promotion offered by mr.bofwen from full-time girlfriend to future-wifey after the EXTRAORDINARY E-day and live happily ever after berkhidmat untuk negara."

that's a mouthful, no? *pray for me please?*

happy new year, guys!!!! -xx
