The Celebrations

First of all, Happy New Year!

I'm celebrating the NYE by writing this post. Parents never let me going out until late night, so I stay and whisper little prayers for the year ahead. May all the good things come your way, and may Allah blesses you with love, luck and care. All the best wishes. :)

Haec Olim Meminisse luvabit -One day we'll look back on this and smile. There are so much things I have gained in 2012. Lots. I learned thousand lessons too, made many mistakes and shed a lot of both happy and sad tears.

How has your year of 2012 been? Only one right word to describe mine: Tough. 2012 has had been a tough year. The ups and downs I've been through would perfectly prove the word which I chose. At beginning it (might) seemed hard, but the ending was incredibly awesome! I couldn't be more happier and grateful!

What are 10 things you love about year 2012? That will be hard for me to pick the 10 best things among other best things. Wait, there you go:
1. Passed judicium!
2. Passed UKDI/NACE (National Competence Examination).
3. Inauguration preps. Love!
4. Cooked more complicated dishes. I might not succeed in making it look good, but it's still taste ok. Did I? :D
5. Worked shifts as a doctor, not intern (anymore). And made my own money.
6. No more Ayu Tingting. My hair grows longer.
7. Drove somewhere new alone. Even got lost along the way, I made it.
8. Learned to make myself up. A newbie, yet I wasn't that bad at all. :D
9. Made a new friend, a handsome companion: a suupaaa cute little teddy bear.
10. And I started writing a new story. :)

What were your lowest points this year? Mmm, when went through a heart break? Or to break someones'? To be honest, that is. But I'm more scared of losing the ones I love: amazing fam, greatest friends and sweetest Boyf. :)

What lessons have you learned from those low points? I learned to bounce back after the hard fall. To be stronger and to complain less and to be grateful for everything I have now. To appreciate your loved ones and try not to hurt them. To pray and forgive who have hurt. To keep faith in The Almighty. More love and less hate. Bismillah.

What could you have done better this year? My cooking skills! I'm so proud that I've improved a lot! 

What can you do to ensure you don't repeat the same behaviors in 2013? I'll be more carefull in everything. I'm that type of careless person and don't really pay close attention in any kind of things. I'll change, I promise. Moreover, I have to be well planned. 

What are you most gratedul for in 2012? I'm really thankful for everything Allah gave me. :)

What are your biggest accomplishments last year? That I am finally a medical doctor!

And what your wishes for the year ahead? I wish for everything good. My family to be blessed and stay healthy, my friends to keep the joy around, and my Boyf.... May we go stronger this year. Amin amin ya rabbal alamiiin. :)

Once again, shinnen akemashite omedetou. Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu. :)

Will You Still

Will you still love her...
Even if she's not that type of a girl you're dreaming of?
Will you still love her.. Even if she's not the kind of person you wished she were?

She's not that kinda 'it' girl.
She doesn't spend her money on clothes and make-ups.
She doesn't have a supermodel sized weights.
Her hair is not that type of long, dark and straight one.
She doesn't travel around the world like the girl you're admiring.
She doesn't read heavy and english books.
She's not photogenic. No, she's not.
She doesn't have the good sense of music. She doesn't listen to top 40.
She'd not been born with briliant brain and darn fluently english like she has.
She's really like.... ordinary.


Will you still worship her... Even if she's not perfect?
Will you still love her tomorrow? :)

Acknowledgements

First and foremost I would like to sincerely thank The Almighty, to express my gratitude to Allah Subhana Wa Taaala for providing me the blessings to complete this study. The Most Beneficent Allah, The Most Merciful, for all His guidance dan giving while I was preparing, doing and finishing this 5,5 years of journey. I know without Him, I wouldn't make it this far. Without His help, nothing could have been achieved. :)

I also would like to thank my parents for the belief and confidence they had me. They're the best parents. They allowed me to realize my own potential and all the support they have provided me over the years was the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. Without them, I may never have gotten to where I am today.

Papa, Mama, thank you for putting all the confidence in me, which has inspired me to do things that I never would have thought possible. I love you both! :')

To my little princess Micah, words fail to describe how much I love you. Thank you for (Sometimes... No. Often.) messing up my works, my sleep hours, and my study times. The one and only little sister who has been supportive of me every step of the way, my hard-working papers assistant; who's stopping me when I'm about to make a mistakes, and always pushing me to try even harder to make things perfect.

I am truly grateful to my Boyf, who makes my life complete in every sense. I feel so blessed to have him by my side. I'm incredibly lucky to have you, and your unconditional love and support throughout my life. Thank you for keep telling me not to lose hope even on the lowest point, to always make me believe that even the darkest cloud has a silver lining. I pooh you. Stay close, don't go. :)

I would also like to acknowledge my colleagues: Team Hore: Monica, Reza, Anggi, Bonita and Yuga, thank you for this 5,5 years. You all keep me (in)sane! Angels: Olivia, Emma, Dian, Wina, Sari, Trixie and Elix, for the sweet girls talks. I love you! :) Kelompok belajar UKDI: Zettira, Sofi, Laras, Mbak Mita, Nella and Yayas, they're all the excellent teachers and mentors I've ever had.

I'm overwhelmed in thinking about the many people Allah has placed in life who have made this achievement possible. Thank You once again Allah. Finally I can say, "Maaaaaa, kakak luluuuuuuuuuss!!" :')

I'm so proud of my alma mater, Faculty of Medicine Airlangga University. :)
