when you fall off your horse, it's called an accident

Mood : bruised

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!..

it's currently mid semester holidays here in UUM, so the roads and walkways are pretty much empty, what's left are upturned rubbish cans raided by monkeys and plastics of dried leaves.. being a person who's mostly busy all the time (eceh, mengalahkan menteri la kau), finding an escape from my daily activities just to go horse riding is super hard.. that's why when I got a call from my horse riding trainer on Thursday, I flipped!.. it is the holidays so I'm free, no classes and no current responsibilities, well, except for sleeping till 12pm.. hehehe..

so on Friday morning at 8.30am, I drove my mums car to the Equine Center in UUM.. my trainer, Abg Wan greeted me with stable chores, his way of punishing me for not coming to train for 3 months.. sorry Abg Wan!.. (^^,) so around 9am, I groomed and saddled up Prince, one of the biggest horse in the stable.. okay, I was worried at first.. 3 months without training and riding a new horse that I never rode on before, that's kind of scary.. but my trainer was quite confident with me, so I just followed..

after 15 minutes, I got on Prince and headed down to the paddock.. was I nervous?.. hell yeah!.. Prince's head is huge, and he weighs a damn lot!.. but I stayed calm.. once I got in the paddock, I started walking and trotting, getting the feel of riding a horse again.. it felt so good, and so free!! missed the feeling so so much.. (^^,)

okay fine, this is not me, but you get what I mean.. hehehe.. I wore a helmet btw, much safer..

after 30 minutes of trotting, my trainer told me to canter, horse version of running.. I had cantered before, but on other smaller horses, so I was worried.. he gave me some pointers and I was on my way, cantering.. and it felt AWESOME!! XD Prince's canter was nice and flows well with my body, I felt like flying.. I did have a bit of problem in controlling the reins, but other than that, it went well..

disaster happened when I stopped to pause for a breath.. the whip I was holding accidentally hit Prince and he started to canter.. it's not suppose to scare me, since I know how to sit and balance myself during a canter, but my feet weren't in the styrup, making me loose my balance.. I panicked like hell, the horse still cantering on, turning into a fast gallop.. I forgot everything about horse riding at that moment, forgot that all I had to do was sit up and pull the reins I had in my hands which would make the horse stop.. all I could do at that moment was pray that I don't fall off, pray that the horse would just stop.. I did the only thing I could think of to prevent myself from falling - hug Prince's neck..

I held on to Prince's neck tightly, my body moving up and down in sync with the horse's fast gallop.. I could hear in the distance, my trainer shouting something, his voice sounded alarmed.. I couldn't make out what he said, all I could hear was my heart, beating fast in my chest.. my grip on Prince's neck was starting to loosen, and I know I'd be kissing the ground soon.. the only thing I could do was pray.. "Ya Allah, please save me, don't let me fall, don't let me break any bones.."

but you know how life is, sometimes you need to fall to know the meaning of success.. or stuff.. hehehe.. so that's where I had my first fall from a horse.. I've been bitten and had my foot stepped on by horses, so it was time for me to feel my first fall from grace.. eh, I mean horse.. =P

loosing my balance on the left side, I fell somewhat like this..

my body flew on the left side of the horse, tumbling in the air and landing on my right hip in the sand, faced up towards the sky.. hey look, the sky is actually BLUE!.. I never knew.. =p Prince continued on with his canter, jumping over me (which was SUPER SCARY) and kicking my left leg at the shins.. ala, betis kiri la.. something like the picture below..

see the guys left leg?.. the back left foot of the horse as it jumped pass him must have hit him in the shins there, so I'm guessing the guys bones are probably broken.. the same thing happened to me, only my shin bone is not broken, just bent a bit.. it's still sore as hell, so is my hip, but Alhamdulillah, no broken bones.. (^^,)

once I was on the ground, I couldn't get up.. the pain in my right hip was a bit unbearable, giving me a sharp stabbing sensation.. Prince stopped cantering a few meters away, after realizing that the rider was missing.. my eyes were closed, trying to stop the pain, but I blinked a bit, trying to get the sand out of my eyes, thus catching a glimpse of my trainer walking towards me.. I pulled myself together, hoping that the pain will go away.. a few seconds later, my trainer was calling to me, so I looked up to find my trainer with Prince in his hands.. he asked if I was alright and if I could walk..

so I stood up, trying to balance myself.. okay, I'm fine, I can stand, nothing broken.. my trainer said I didn't look pale, which is a good sign, and asked if I could ride again, which I answered yes.. well, that was before I tried to walk.. my balance was off and I almost fell.. I got dizzy and saw the trees and sand and everything in very bright colours.. woahh, Prince's butt is HOT!!.. hahaha.. my trainer instructed me to go sit near the railing while he demonstrated the correct way to sit during a canter.. he explained why I fell, which was because my body was lunged forward signaling to the horse to go faster.. if I sat straight, the horse would have gone slower and eventually stopped.. he assured me that my fall wasn't bad, it wasn't like the horse was trying to throw me off, it was because I lost my balance.. whatever the cause was, I'm still thankful that I didn't suffer any serious injuries or broken bones.. Alhamdulillah.. (^^,)

my trainer in front riding Prince, the horse I fell off from.. he's HUGE man..

currently I'm resting and nursing my injuries.. my right hip has gotten worse tho, I can't sneeze or laugh without feeling pain.. I hope this goes away soon, it's super hard for me to make jokes if I can't laugh right.. and my left shin is getting better, but it's still sore.. and there's a dent in my shin bone, it's no longer straight, which is kinda cool when you run you fingers through them, you can feel the curve.. hahaha.. I mean, think about it.. how many people with bent shins from a horse kicking it do you know?.. so I fall in the AWESOMELY COOL category.. hahaha.. ehem, but don't go getting weird ideas and getting yourself a dent too okay?..

last but not least, I would like to thank my family - my mum and my sisters - who have been helping me to get better.. thanks for getting stuff for me, and also refilling my ice bag, you guys rock! =D and thanks to those who cared on Facebook and calling and messaging me on the phone, you guys are awesome too!.. (^^,) no worries, I'll get my leg and hip x-rayed on Monday, just to make sure everything is okay, kay?..

I assure all of you, this is NOT the end of my horse riding days.. I will continue once my injuries are healed, so worry you not.. hahaha.. besides, I'm no quitter.. later awesome peeps!! (^^,)

p/s : all pictures, except the last one, belongs to Mr Google..

the challenges of being ME..

Mood : Sick

Assalamualaikum and good evening dear peeps.. first and foremost, I would like to wish all the Muslims out there, Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadan and Happy Fasting!.. *(^^,) I know it's quite late to be wishing, since today is actually the 5th day of Ramadan, but heck, we have 25 more days to go!.. so who cares right?.. (^^,) and I'd also like to give a quick shout out to my Chinese friend, Yu Yinhui, for attempting to fast and actually fasted for 1 whole day!.. CONGRATULATIONS YINHUI!..

I'm pretty much sure you guys are bored with this excuse, but really, I'm really truly sorry, I have been really busy and was unable to update my blog.. been busy with student life, being a SIFEr, being a daughter, and being a friend.. fuhh, so tiring, but I enjoyed every bit of it!.. =)

I wanted to upload a whole bunch of photos for you guys to watch, the progress of my great life.. but sadly, I'm unable to since I'm only using my net book and all my photos are not in here.. hehe.. but no worries, I'll try to upload them soon on Facebook.. so for those who want to know my whereabouts, don't hesitate to add me on Facebook ya!.. just find, Najmie Kamisan.. oh, and please inform me if you're my blog reader.. thanks!

there are more, but I'm so lazy to load them all here.. just add me on Facebook and you can see all them pictures till you puke your guts out!.. hahahaha..

ugh, talking about puke, I nearly lost my 3rd day of fasting due to an outreach programme under SIFE UUM.. long story short, I nearly vomited from the bad smell of 3 week old fish gravy covered with maggots and worms.. yuck! (>w<) the family that we helped were old people living alone in a secluded area and was recently attacked with food poisoning.. when we saw the kitchen, we knew why, hence the outreach programme..

and due to this project, I am now suffering from slight flu and fever, coughing, sore throat, a runny nose and a backache due to extensive cleaning and exposure to polluted air.. so yeah.. I'm sick.. I didn't go to class for the whole day.. but I did go to the clinic and got myself a medical leave for today.. hope I recover fast.. uhukuhuk~

pray for my health ya awesome peeps!.. and you guys should also take care of yourself.. it's the flu season, so drink lots of water during sahur and bathe in cool water before 5pm.. Insyaallah you'll be fine..

alright, I'm off.. got to get ready to give a team briefing tonight to people who want to be RM1000 richer from SIFE UUM Exposition 2010.. oh, and also breaking my fast, or Iftaar with my fellow SIFErs and committee members.. so, LATER AWESOME PEEPS~~ (^^,)

you have very nice eyes.. NOT

Mood : Relieved

Assalamualaikum and good day awesome peeps.. it's my second week of work here as a Research Assistant in UUM.. it's been okay, not too laid back, not too busy either.. it's an okay workload.. hehe.. so last week I had some kind of irritation in my eyes, which I first thought was due to a collection of dust in my eyes.. I put some eye drops and it got better.. but a few days later, the irritation came back.. even after I put some eye drops, the irritation is still there.. my eyes were a bit red, and it hurts to blink sometimes.. turns out, there was a little growth on the top of my inner eyelids.. is it a tumor ftw?! omg scary! it caused the irritation in my eyes, and it got a little bigger each day.. I was worried, hence the reason for visiting the doctor today.. whee!~~ (^^,)

I had to wait around half an hour before actually going inside the doctors room.. apparently, they're having an annual sports thingy, so only a few doctors were available at that time in Pusat Kesihatan Universiti (PKU), UUM.. whatever.. so when I got in, the doctor asked, 'what's up?..' I told him about the eye infection thingy and he lit a flashlight up in my eyes and prodded around.. and the verdict is?.. styes, or formally know as ketumbit in Malaysia.. now, what is it about this styes or ketumbit?.. well, let me shed some light on the subject, quoted from eyecaresource.com..

styes are bacterial infections that lead to the obstruction of oil producing glands around the eyelids. Styes are seen as small bumps on the eyelids. Styes (also called "sty") are usually harmless and will go away after several days on their own as your body fights the infection. there are some cases where surgical draining of the stye or the application of antibiotic drops may be required. to prevent styes in the eye; always washing hands before touching the eyes and keeping good eye hygiene, especially for contact users.

eye stye symptoms

- redness accompanied by slight pain and tenderness

- swelling of a certain area which usually appears as a bump

- tearing of the eye

- discomfort when blinking

- sensitivity to light

eye sytes treatment

- apply warm compresses for several minutes 3 to 4 times daily

- application of prescribed antibiotic drops may also be used to help fight the infection

- surgical drainage of the stye may also be necessary if the stye is not responding to treatment

my doctor told me that I might be infected by this disease due to change in weather and climate or unhygienic care of my eyes.. errr, this I have to agree with.. being someone who uses eye make up in daily wear, I actually don't have any liquid eye makeup removal, it finished a few months ago.. I use Johnson&Johnsons baby oil to get rid of my make up after a days work.. I didn't think about residual effects such as styes, I just used it cause it was effective and cheap.. guess I have to buy the removal liquid soon.. got any brand recommendation that is effective yet affordable?.. I'm on a tight budget you know, huhu..

well, it's a good thing the styes were in the beginning stage, if I didn't get any treatment, I might end up like this....

H1N1 POSITIVE??!! (o_0'''

Mood : grey..

I went to the UUM clinic yesterday after I couldn't get up from bed after Subuh prayers..

my head was spinning, and I had my math class at 8am..

will I have the energy to make it?..

sadly, no..

I slept that morning, unable to move much due to lightheadedness..

the world was unbalanced, or was it just me?..

I got back my energy around 11.30am, got up and cleaned myself..

my head was still dizzy, but bearable..

my mum asked if I had the energy to go to the clinic, I said yes..

I ironed my baju kurung and went to the clinic around 2.20pm, wearing a mask..

the road was a bit fuzzy, but I drove anyway..

I got there around 2.30 and registered..

the number on the block was 209..

I looked at my number..

277

WHAT THE DUCK?!

weih, kau biar betik?!

dem, kena tunggu..

I waited like a log there, sitting, then slumping in my seat, folded my feet up, etc..

I didn't have my earphone with me nor a good book..

dem dem dem!!!

kenapa aku tak fikir nak bawak buku??

apesal semua orang sibuk nak sakit time aku sakit??

aku tau la aku femes, takyah la nak sama-sama sakit sebab nak jumpa aku..

siot tol..

dem dem dem!!

my head started to spin around..

I nearly fainted twice..

seriously, I'm not lying..

I registered at 2.31pm, I saw the doctor around 4.15pm..

cuba kau kira brapa lama..

lama kau tahu??

dem dem dem!!

it was a good thing the doctor was still in a good mood eventhough there was about 300 patients per day now..

he was nice, and he remember who I was..

being a daughter of a senior lecturer has its advantages..

hohoho..

(^^,)

he checked if I had a fever, which I didn't..

he took my blood pressure, and that's where the problem started..

he did it three times, not believing the results..

my blood pressure was dangerously low..

he asked if I was feeling dizzy, I said yes..

did you know that it is dangerous to drive with low blood pressure?..

it's equivilant to driving while you're drunk..

you could pass out anytime..

scary..

(o_0'''

he did a few more tests, probbing here and there..

thank god there were no needles..

he finally announnced that I was free to go..

he did add however, that if I had a fever, I would he held back and quarentined..

OMG!!!

I didn't know it was that serious..

so, Alhamdulillah, I was allowed to leave..

he gave me some medicine and told me to avoid crowded areas..

I might pass it to others, whatever 'IT' is..

hohohoho..

for now, I'm just thankful I'm still alive..

ALHAMDULILLAH..
