5 Months: Yes, I Do

It is an amazing feeling; when you realize that your spouse actually knows you better than you know yourself.

Today, this happened:
Me: Why didn't you talk to me?
Him: Because I know you were tired and hungry. So, I let you eat and cool down first before I approach you to say anything.


Which is the ultimate truth; don't talk to me when I am hungry/tired, I will actually turn into a dragon. Haha.

I think that is the sweetest surprise; how my husband actually understands me and knows exactly what to do when it comes to me and my terrible mood swings. It just reminds me why I fall in love with him.

So, try as much to understand each other. I think silence helps a lot in this matter. Assess the situation and learn from experiences. Yes, we learn from our mistakes. But, too many mistakes can lead to disaster. So, make just enough to learn as much as you can.

In marriage, there is ALWAYS room for improvement. All you need is time and space...and, of course, love.

Here Is Eid of 2025

Eid is about winning - the celebration for Muslims who succeeded in conquering their worldly wants and ego during Ramadhan. But it does not always feel like a happy occasion for some. I had a very interesting Eid this year (maybe because I took leave for one whole week and accidentally became the main adult in the house 😒) My beloved grandmother passed away in 2020 on the evening of the first day of Eid. She was our matriarch, and it was hard adjusting to our lives without her. Eid and Ramadhan were always her thing - she would plan all the meals and celebrations, the house visits, the guests' schedules and all the other important stuff. We all miss her, of course: my parents, my aunts and uncles, my siblings, my children, my cousins, and all those who knew her. But I think that hiding in grief would be an insult to her memory. She was always someone who was welcoming whenever guests were over - nothing made her happier than meeting her relatives and friends and making sure they h...

"Chronic": Creating Change and Space For Those Deemed Unchangeable

These past few months, we handled 2 cases of employees with chronic conditions that felt like they were mistreated. One complained that her medical leave certificate was rejected, and another complained that she was unfairly transferred out of her department.  As we dived into the cases, I noticed that some managers tend to not have the courtesy, or should I say, bravery , to take the lead in discussing the chronic conditions together with the employees. Some managers just take the chronic condition at face value, some did not even bother to actually confirm the condition and just accept rumours, and not doing anything to help. Of course, it is understandable to think that by acknowledging the condition, the employees may "bully" the managers to get what they want. But, some employees with chronic conditions may actually need genuine help, and we may miss this group of people. Having a chronic medical condition, be it physical or mental, is not something someone wishes upon t...

The Burden of Clinical Work

 When I went for an interview to enter a training program for public health, I was asked, "Won't you miss clinical work?" - which is a common question that is asked during recruitment interview for this program because public health is not considered as "clinical" work.  The reason why this question is always asked is because the common understanding is that "clinical" work means working directly or one-to-one with patients. But, public health does not necessarily work with patients or people who are sick, but also with people who are healthy and a whole population. Plan of management for public health depends on the common norms and behaviors in a certain population and not individual. Of course, the most obvious reason why public health is not "clinical" is because public health does not work in a clinic 👀 So, have I missed "clinical"? The answer is yes and no. What I do miss about "clinical" work would be meeting patie...
