I am not sure if you can find people talking about this movie on your Facebook
timeline, but it happened to mine. I was a bit hesitated to watch at first but
subhanAllah it was definitely a great movie to be appreciated! :)
It is actually a Turkish movie and I have no experience watching any before.
Synopsis:
The story played around the Korean War eras which was between 1950-1953,
where United Nations came to help South Korea from being attacked by North
Korea. One of the countries that send a lot of soldiers was Turkey. A
Turkish brigade was sent there, one of the soldiers was Sergeant Süleyman.
While Ayla was a 5 year old Korean girl, lost her parents when their village
was bombed. The name Ayla was given after she was saved by Süleyman from a
frozen night in the moonlight. Two of them developed deep connection as
father-daughter, where Ayla could be seen around Süleyman almost every time
and everywhere. They were together for almost 1.5 years.
Upon completing his task in South Korea, finally it was time for Süleyman to
return to Turkey and he found it difficult to leave Ayla. They were attached
to each other. Süleyman tried to leave Ayla at Ankara School but ended up
trying to bring Ayla back to Turkey in his suitcase - his mission failed.
Süleyman had to leave Ayla alone. Upon arrival to Turkey, he tried his best
to get in touch with the school but the communication was disaster because
of the war. Both of them reunited after almost 60 years. T__T
This is a real-life story where we can watch the documentary Kore Ayla on
MBC in 2010.

| Sweet! |
2. War Ethics
Ayla was found in the sea of dead bodies.
"Cowards! They slaughtered everyone, even the children."
Somehow, I suddenly recalled the war ethics of Rasulullah - one of them is
don't kill a woman / a child. Ayla witnessed her parents died and refused to
talk, maybe she was traumatized. Süleyman didn't want to leave her anywhere,
he ended up taking her to the base.
|
| The very first time Ayla met Süleyman |
After failed his attempt to bring Ayla onto the ship back to
Turkey, Suleyman accepted the fact that he need to return alone. He promised
himself and Ayla that he will return to meet her.
The scene was heart breaking T_T
Can you imagine a small kid who had lost both parents in front of her eyes,
now need to be apart with the one she loved as a father? T_T

The ending T___T |
I know that we are now in PKPB where almost all local roadblocks have been
lifted. I think there are some at the districts' borders, no idea actually as I
haven't try crossing the district yet.
Lots of time, the scenario was like this:
During the PKPD, I need to pass through 2 roadblocks between my house and the
hospital. It was supposed to be 8 minutes journey, but with roadblocks, I need
to leave the house at least 15 minutes earlier. Less cars actually at the
beginning and the middle of PKPD, but fuhhh the traffic was torturing towards
the end of it, especially when we were entering the PKPB.

Kad Petugas Kesihatan |
Similar to other health care workers, I received my own card too. Just
sharing this here so that I can read this later. Still not fancy much to
share life journey on Facebook. And I still prefer the blog to elaborate my
stories and experiences than on Instagram.
Police / army: Assalamualaikum Cik/Puan. Nak pergi mana ni?Me: Nak pergi kerja encik.Police / army: Oh, kerja mana?Me: Kat hospital.Me: *I can see they suddenly took a glimpse on the front screen*Police / army: Ohhh, maaf Cik/Puan, tak perasan kad ni. Okay, boleh jalan, lambat pulak sampai nanti.Me: No problem. Terima kasih Encik.
I am not sure if the card is small to be seen, or maybe I put too deep between
the dashboard and the screen so it could be hard to be seen. Haha
But, never mind as the questioning did not take too much time every time I
mentioned about the hospital.
To make it even easier was by hanging my stethoscope around the rear-view
mirror.
Honestly, I think they have a challenging task to check every cars. I felt so
bad seeing them standing in the middle of the road under hot sun, even on
rainy days too. T_T
Police / army: Ohh doktor kee? Boleh check kami tak? *sambil gelak-gelak*
Haha, here I knew they were already tired. You know, sometimes, you can see a
tired face trying to say something funny to cheer themselves. :)
Me: Bolehhhh, nanti saya inject sekali. Nak saya cucuk kat mana?Police / army: *sambung gelak*
Thank you to all frontliners.
Now, everyone need to take care of our own.
- Always think twice before leaving the house especially if we don't have solid reasons.
- Always wear face masks outside especially if we are dealing with people
- Always wash our hands / use sanitizers
- Keep 1 meter distance with each other - social distancing.
- Avoid 3C - closed conversation, confined space, crowded place.

I Made This PPE :)
May 10, 2020
On last Wesak day, I had this opportunity to learn and watch the staff nurses making our own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in our observation ward, this ward was closed due to rearrangement of our Emergency Department into Respiratory area & Non-Respiratory area and has become our 'store' and staff area.
- Respiratory area - attending patients with any complaints of SARI (severe acute respiratory infection) symptoms like fever / shortness of breath / cough / runny nose / sore throat / any history of Covid contact. Sometimes, the patients may come with other main complaints like infected wound over foot but just because he/she have any of these SARI symptoms, the patient will be attended in Respiratory area.
- Non-Respiratory area - attending patient with any complaints without SARI symptoms
Me: kak, nak try buat satu bolehh?
SN: haa, nah try jahit bahagian lengan ni dulu.
At first I just need to sew the stretchy area over the end of the sleeves. Then, slowly and patiently, Kak Daini & Kak Atun taught me how to sew the whole PPE. Since I have no skills of using the sewing machine, my product was not that neat. Terlebih sana, terkurang ni. Hahaha. Nasib baik laa PPE ni pakai buang. If you compared to their products, fuhh, dah macam baju raya, kemas sangat!
 |
| My first PPE everrrr. |
Honestly I only have the most basic skill for sewing, which means, I can only do hand sew like picture attached below.

Though my mum is literally good in this, I guess I don't inherited the skill haha. For every Eid celebration, my mum will usually send some plain cloth to her favourite tailor and then she will make her own decoration on the dress with all those beads, labuci etc. For mine, my mum will 'encourage+force' me to the same so that I can survive with hand sew haha.
But, my skills of using the sewing machine - NIL
-------------
After completed one and a half of PPE suit, we heard the bell informing there were new cases in the respiratory area. So, that marks the end of my PPE sewing journey. Lol, when I returned to the sewing area later, seems like they already finished sewing. :D
It was honestly a nice experience.
Thank you akak-akak sabar mengajar!
p/s - my mother-in-law has awesome sewing skill too! :D

My Fave Room
May 9, 2020
If you have read my blog since I was still a student in Czechia, you must have seen this view somewhere. :) Hehe
Though it looks quite messy (read: too many colours), at that time, I was satisfied with the wall. There were lots of memories that I can see almost every second being in the room.
To those who have just being a reader to my blog, welcome :)
This is actually from my room back in Czechia, it was a rooftop (4th floor) flat, 2 bedrooms + 1 bathroom with toilet + a kitchen. When I tried to recall memories staying in the flat, alhamdulillah, I must say I should be grateful to be able to rent it due to many reasons
1. Nice landlord.
- though there was a huge language barrier (even with our agent), we managed to confirm our rental with agreed amount of monthly rent. The landlord was initially an uncle with his wife. After he passed away, his daughter took over (she even decided to return to Czechia to take care of her mother although she already settled down somewhere in African continents).
- I was beyond happy when they agreed after we requested to reduce our rental a bit (due to final year, I planned to do my attachment in Malaysia). And it was fated to be, I went home 4x that year (summer break - my brother passed away - medical attachment - back for good).
2. Strategic location
- it was located very close to the main train station, so it was such a relieve if my friends and I return late at night from Prague. At that time, we usually take a day trip to Prague to buy those varieties of halal meat or for usrah, so the final train was around 10pm (arrived at Hradec Kralove around 12am)
- Tesco was just within walking distance. I found to be awesome as I can go to Tesco any time I want haha.
- most official offices are around as well - Vodafone (internet plan), main post office, 2 shopping malls, library.
- peaceful neighborhood (despite being in the city center). The main road in front of the flat was only for residents and public transport, so there was no traffic at all!
3. Fully furnished.
- I am still searching photos of the flat (they are somewhere in the gallery), but the price is totally worth the flat - in view of most basic furniture and electrical appliances were included - fridge, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, 2 sets of bedroom furniture, full set of kitchen table. If I am not mistaken, it was CZK 12000 approximately RM2000/flat/month.
Alhamdulillah, this time around, I managed to get good landlord in Manjung too :)
Anyway, I miss Hradec Kralove, I miss Czech! Hehe.
Okay, off to night shift, pray for a smooth one kay :)

I am Dreaming of...
May 5, 2020
... this pandemic to be over.
I am sure everyone hope for the same too.
It was a hard year, I can say. Beginning from end of January, when the team was given a briefing about the potential spread of Covid19 in Malaysia, then we were taught on how to properly don and doff our PPE. At that time, the cases were still low, there was no social distancing even in the hospital. When the cases increased in number, almost all seminars / teaching sessions / CME have been cancelled. In the middle of March, healthcare workers' leaves were freeze and most of us need to work and go to the health care center as usual.
It is already 2 months since I last met my parents too. I miss hugging them.
I miss the beach, so close yet so far.
I miss travelling.
I miss freedom of playing badminton at the courts with friends.
I miss going to body massage (which my body need it right now).
I miss eating out.
But, I believe everything surely happens for reasons.
I hope by the time this pandemic is over, we already learnt how to appreciate the health more. Always continue all the proper hygiene we have learnt through out the MCO. We will appreciate the moments we can spend with the families too. InsyAllah :)
