Visa Guidelines is back

Alhamdulillah, I got married to a lovely lady by the name of Sarah and we're enjoying our new phase in life since that momentous day.

And yeah, I graduated from the University of Nottingham and thus, escaping from the evil clutches of my medical school. woot2! probably needs a post on this as well but yeah, maybe later.

at the bottom of this blog, there is an article on visa guidelines for medical students graduated from UK medical schools under MARA scholarship who are planning to work as an FY1 doctor in the UK.

After all, it was my visa guidelines which i made 5 years ago that helped me to get to know a lot of people and for some, have now become my close friends. And it helped a lot of other people as well. So I hope that this guideline would ease your efforts a bit. Visa application is always confusing.

patience

The last sunset in Dublin during my Ireland trip 2010

I'm just so glad that Nottingham Malaysian Night 2010 is over and all my coursework assignments have been submitted.

I have to admit; it was really pressuring - those few days before MNite, eventhough I was only handling ticketing. (It was so stressful that I have to make several phone calls to talk to my morale boosters, hahaha)

During those days of intense pressure, I suddenly remembered what my facilitator said once upon a time when I attended a symposium for nuqaba back then during those KMB days. Well, this is what she said (although not exact words, my memory is not THAT good):

"Kalau hati akak rasa gelisah atau tak tenang, akak akan buat camni - ambil Quran dan buka satu muka surat (randomly) dan baca satu ayat (randomly) serta terjemahan sekali. InsyaAllah, kita akan beroleh hidayah Allah."

And so...that's exactly what I did!

Look what I found,

"For the present, Allah hath lightened your (task), for He knoweth that there is a weak spot in you: But (even so), if there are a hundred of you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred, and if a thousand, they will vanquish two thousand, with the leave of Allah: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere."

"Sekarang Allah telah meringankan daripada kamu (apa yang telah diwajibkan dahulu) kerana Ia mengetahui bahawa pada kamu ada kelemahan; oleh itu jika ada di antara kamu seratus orang yang sabar, nescaya mereka akan dapat menewaskan dua ratus orang; dan jika ada di antara kamu seribu orang, nescaya mereka dapat menewaskan dua ribu orang dengan izin Allah. Dan (ingatlah) Allah beserta orang-orang yang sabar."

(Al-Anfal (8): 66)

And that made my day forthwith :)

Ok, I have another event coming up and it's called Peace of Palestine (POP). Until then, be patient...
