Good morning…
Posted by: nadyaruzz on: July 11, 2009
Waking up early on Saturday, while everybody else was still asleep, and you tiptoed down the stairs to make yourself a cup of coffee. Then you sipped your coffee on your balcony while reflecting the past week and your plan for the weekends. You looked at the morning sky slowly turning from gray to orange [...]
Learning to be happy…

I have put off blogging for quite some time simply because I found my posts didn’t match the tone of my blog title. I haven’t been feeling flowers, and I would most probably ramble about work, and boring pharmacy stuffs, people would have had contracted serious allergic reaction just by reading the first sentence.
So I [...]
Just trying to get by…

One minute motivated, the next you felt the walls were closing in on you.
And Stacie Orrico’s More to Life kept on playing in my head.
I felt dizzy looking at the ventilator settings, going S and then A and C. Green, red, yellow… like the traffic lights at the hospital junction. I stood beside the patient [...]
Dilemma…

It’s hard to believe that I have been working my permanent job for 5 months already. Time sure flies. Soon my colleagues will be transferred (JKNS have this policy that you can’t work in your respective hometown except during your provisional year) to God-knows-where, while I will probably be stuck here in Kuching. I’m still [...]
It’s a Clear Sky…

The flood has subsided. I can finally see the road in front of my house and we are no longer stranded in our own house. I can sleep peacefully at night without any worries…
My research project proposal presentation today also went well. I presented for a compact 5 minutes, and our research project has been [...]
Turning 180 degrees – Part 3
Posted by: nadyaruzz on: December 8, 2008
I went to Bau last Saturday for community service. It was a new experience reaching out to the villagers there. I was surprised that they still don’t have a proper water supply. Their supply, as claimed, came from the mountain. So since it has been raining quite heavily lately, their water supply is always disrupted, sometimes [...]
Turning 180 Degrees (Part II)
Posted by: nadyaruzz on: December 4, 2008
A pair of innocent eyes looked at me, observing me closely. He didn’t cry, he didn’t lie down, like the other sick children. He just watched my movements from his bed, as though he knew exactly what I was doing, reading his case. Damn. I always avoided feeling attached to patients, but I can’t help [...]
Turning 180 degrees…

I love to observe people. I love talking to strangers, and getting what I call a ’sneak peek’ into what their lives may be. So it’s no wonder that how I can last working part time in retail stores during my student’s years. Now that I’m working in the hospital, it is one of the highlights [...]
Update 101
Posted by: nadyaruzz on: November 1, 2008
The flight was delayed the day Nisha and I was supposed to report to the State Health Department, so we missed the morning briefing. Later that afternoon, our place in the hospital was confirmed. So the house hunting began almost immediately.
After what seemed like an endless search, we finally found one near the hospital. It’s [...]
Love-Hate Relationship
Posted by: nadyaruzz on: September 26, 2008
The light purple suitcase stared at me from across the room. I stared back.
It has been dumped there since the first day my sister bought it especially for my journey to a new life in Swak. I squealed excitedly when my sister told me she chose a huge purple case for me. “Travel in style!” I said. [...]
