Year 3 & Beyond

WELCOME to year 3... ever so exciting year 3... now I'm based in Weston-Super-Mare, more specifically Weston General Hospital... WSM is definitely a lovely place, very very picturesque and very conducive place for education...

The night life in WSM is quite different; quiet and serene. The kind of night life that I love. I spent quite a few nights just laying down in front of my house (a doctor's quaters of 6 rooms with me the only dude) gazing at the nightsky, watching at the ever so wisdom twinkling stars. Wisdom I say? Yes indeed.. The stars seems so small, yet the reality known to all that they are probably the biggest object seen to the naked eye. Then again, such humongous objects are clearly blinded by the apparently large clouds, which known to all much much much smaller and fragile compared to stars... such phenomena is a direct analogy of life... apparently important things are so blinding, so much so that larger but less obvious things becomes unimportant and left behind... and alhamdulillah, I did manage to get her to agree with me, without much resistance... a good and philosophical conversation starter... seriously

Third year life is a bit more challenging than I first expected... having her at the same place is definitely bringing up most of the challenges so far... talk about karma, same place again... i'm starting that there's probably a future (or whatever) for us... dream on dude... far to many obstacles... huhhh... but to be fair though, the challenges actually comes from within myself; or should i say, nafs... not the hospital, not the increasingly beaucratical learning environment and definitely not the patient-contacts... in fact, i kind of like the folks of WSM and the satisfaction of 'curing' people is so good and rewarding at so many different levels... alhamdulillah...


And beyond that, uuhhh... ramadhan... make me so miss home... the nice congregational prayers... praying tarawikh with hundreds other people... so fulfilling... the nice short walk home after tarawikh... and even the whole month in general... aaaahhhhhhhhh... i don't think i could possible find the exact words to describe the feeling...


Oh Allah, may this ramadhan be the best in life yet...
