~*2014: Recap*~

Oraenmaniya! ^^ Yes, dah lama sangat tak post something kat blog ni. The last post was on January 2014 to wish Happy New Year and now it’s another new year, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 guys! Haha…

Anyway, there were so many things happened in 2014, so many things to talk about but silence seems to linger around for many unfortunate episodes had happened. Subhanallah walhamdulillah walaa Ilahai’lallah Allahuakbar. Since everything seems to slowly fall into places, I would like to take this opportunity to recap major things that had happened around us and to me personally; so let start the recap of 2014. *macam laa ada orang nak baca kan huhu*

December: “Bah Kuning” Kelantan, my beloved hometown


Pantai Timur memang sinonim dengan banjir pada setiap hujung tahun disebabkan monsoon. I have experienced it myself for few times when I was small but not this year, not this horrible “Bah Kuning” because I was in Kuala Lumpur for my final examination *memang sangat tak boleh nak focus study, hujan kt pipi sama banyak dengan hujan kt pantai timur rasanya, habis semua tisu*. Banjir yang pernah saya alami parasnya hanya setakat betis sahaja n mungkin paras paha di sesetengah tempat *best wooo main air hik hik* tapi tahun ni ia membawa kemusnahan! Kali ini ia hampir menenggelamkan rumah kami dan merosakkan barang2 (sangat sedih bila buku2 n hadiah2 kenangan semua rosak) T_T  Sangat2 bersyukur kerana family selamat n rumah masih lagi utuh kerana ada yang hilang tempat tinggal, tempat berteduh dek banjir lumpur.

Banjir kali ini dikatakan lebih teruk berbanding banjir yang berlaku pada tahun 1967. Ia membawa lumpur dan arus yang memusnahkan harta benda, memisahkan orang2 tersayang dan meninggalkan kesan seakan2 tsunami. Tidak dapat dibayangkan bagaimana perasaan mereka ketika mengharungi situasi sebegitu. Even though I didn’t experience it physically, I had to go through a hard time mentally and emotionally thinking of my family who had to face the flood situation. I was so worried, there were moments where I can’t sleep and woke up every 2 to 3 hours during the night to get the latest updates about the flood situation online. I try to contact them for I don’t know how many times a day hoping that I can talk to them, to know that they are safe and okay but all I heard were voice mails. I try to contact any numbers provided pertaining to the flood situation; polis, bomba, pasukan keselamatan, pasukan penyelamat, unit bantuan banjir, unit amal, orang perseorangan dan lain2 so that they were aware of my family‘s situation and can take further action to make them safe. I never felt so relief when I know that they were safe, although they had to go through a difficult time, may Allah bless them for the hard times they have to endure. However, the hardship does not stop there, now we have to clean up all the mess left by the flood. The mud stained all the stuff in the house. Most of the furniture and home appliances were damaged. All clothes need to be washed… hmm it’s so heartbreaking to think about this. How can this happen? How can it be this disastrous and leaves such a devastating effects like tsunami?

There must be some explanation behind this. As a student especially those who have scientific or geographical background know that flood can be caused by many reasons such as deforestation, global warming and climatic change. And as a Kelantanese, I am aware of what are happening to the forest in Gua Musang and Kuala Krai. I don’t want to put the blame or accuse any individuals or organizations for what had happened, it doesn’t solve anything. All people, the society, the government must come together, hand in hand and take measures of this phenomenon; whether to prevent or to prepare for this incident in future. And we all know that it is important to preserve and sustain the nature for our future generation.

As a Muslim, we have to accept and acknowledge that everything happen due to The Will of ALLAH because of some reasons. It can be as a trial for us or as a punishment; either way, we are the ones who have to choose. If we accept it as a trial for us to strengthen our relationship with ALLAH then may ALLAH bless us; and if we accept it as a punishment, let us repent and may ALLAH forgive us for our sins. Regardless, I believe my dad, my mom, my sisters, my grandmothers, my aunties, my uncles, my cousins, my friends and other people who had to go through this difficult time are strong because “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear,…” Al-Baqarah: 286

This is what had happened to our home sweet home T_T




*Millions thanks to those who had involved in helping the flood victims*.


September: Start of Master of Biotechnology 


I know some of my friends will be surprised when they know about this; not many people know that I have changed course. Only my family, few other friends and colleagues knew about this. I am very sorry for not telling you about this, dear friends especially Fini, Fani, Najwa, Pikah, Yati and Zai. I guess I should pursue my study in the same field as my degree so that I will not have problem or limitation in choosing my future carrier compared to if I were to have Master of Medical Science, I think so; I hope so. I know I should think about this before I register for Master of Medical Science, isn’t it? But better late than never right?


August: Lost of MH17




I don’t know what to say of this unfortunate incident. I hope and pray that there will be no more incidents like this in future. All I can say that I am proud with our country for the ceremony that was held in bringing back the bodies. May ALLAH bless them all and May ALLAH protects this beloved country amiin..

Visiting Zoo Negara and giant Panda


They are biiigg, adorable and huggable ^^ dapat tengok seekor je yang seekor lagi tengah tidur. Best jugak kalau dapat bela kat rumah ni huhu ^^ Anyway there’s not many giant Panda left in this world and I am proud that they are in Malaysia now. Thank you China =)


July: Raya celebration with new family members


Raya 2014 meriah dengan kehadiran cucu n cicit sulung si comel Zafran Aiman ^^ Hopefully tahun ni akan lebih meriah dengan kehadiran adik kepada Zafran… or menantu or adik ipar mungkin hahaha insyaAllah…


June: End of my first job as Research Assistant

It’s sad actually to leave this job. I started in December 2010; I have gone through so many things. I have learned so much and enjoyed every moments. Of course there’re good days and bad days but in the end you get through it. Thank you very much to all of you who have supported me during all these years.



May: End of Master of Medical Science

Due some reasons, I had to end my study in MMedSc; I am not regret it. I had acquired a lot of knowledge especially in research field which I believe are important for my future. Some people may think that it’s a shame because I already in my fifth semester actually; but then I still struggling in finishing the research works. I don’t know when I can complete my master study; I don’t know when I will graduate. I know it takes times since I was working as well but I don’t want to drag it as if I am doing a PhD. For that I think I should just quit, I don’t care what others say; it’s my future, my time, not theirs.
  

March: Lost of MH370


It has been 10 months now since we lost MH370. It’s sad because until now we still don’t know what had happened to them. May Allah bless them U_U


February: Birth of my first nephew, Muhammad Zafran Aiman




I will never forget that I took my first flight ever on the day he was born. Yes, my first flight ever! And I will tell him this when he grows up ^^ Semoga membesar sebagai khalifah ALLAH yang mencontohi Rasulullah SAW, yang sentiasa berbahagia dan berjaya dunia dan akhirat amiin... *thinking of doing that for every first child of my sisters and brother hmm can I do that? $ $ $ @_@*


I think that’s all. I can’t think of anything else. So yeah that’s the end for this recap of 2014. I am not sure about you but for me I think 2014 is kind of… I am not sure which word to use to describe it precisely… might be unfortunate, unlucky,  difficult, fateful, bad, awful, or tragic year for most of us; I don’t know. Whatever it is, we must accept it; take it as an impetus to make our world a better place.

Dan sebagai seorang Muslim kita kena redha dengan apa yang berlaku dan percaya bahawa ada hikmah disebaliknya. Apa yang berlaku, samada baik atau buruk seharusnya dijadikan pedoman buat kita dalam menempuhi perjalanan menuju akhirat. Dunia ini dan segala isinya hanyalah pinjaman sementara bagi kita untuk membuat persiapan menuju dunia akhirat, dunia yang abadi. Peristiwa2 duka lara 2014 benar2 membuktikan bahawa betapa mudahnya, betapa sekejapnya bagi ALLAH untuk mengambil pinjaman2 yang telah DIA kurniakan buat hambaNya. Segalanya hilang, musnah dalam masa yang singkat berbanding usaha untuk membinanya, untuk mendapatkannya, Allahu… T_T Laa haula wala quwwata illa billahil a’liyil a’dzim

Anyhow, life goes on. Let pray for our happiness, good health, peace, success, prosperous and many other good things in years to come. Let us improve ourselves and be a better Khalifah so that all of us will be granted with His Love, Blessings and the Jannah, insyaAllah. Thank you for spending your time to read this. *hoho ada ke yang baca? Hihi…* annyeong (^^,)V
