Live Ice Hockey in Czech
December 14, 2014
It is already season for ice skating :) I am not a good skater though. So far staying in Czech, I just tried ice skating once. Here, you need to give money / something valuable as deposit for renting the shoes. But, in my town, they don't rent the shoes T_T
Well, in Malaysia too, people have the other alternative to go ice skating which is the new IceScape IOI City Mall. The ice rink looks fabulous and way better than the one in Sunway Pyramid (during my time going there). I wish there will be an ice rink in Perak soon. Hee. :)
Looking at all ice hockey lines on the ice rink reminds me of my experience watching an ice hockey match here in Hradec Kralove, Czech; just a few days back.

7th December 2014.
It was a memorable first hand experience, sitting in front of ice rink with cold temperature. I always wish to watch any games since I arrived here, but I missed them since 2011.This was only after 3 years! Yeay. :D
The match was between Mountfield Hradec Kralove (MHK) and Sparta Praha in which the latter is higher in rank. It was a league match; till now Sparta is in the 3rd rank, while MHK is in the 8th place. I already knew that Sparta Praha is a strong team; actually when doing physical examination on patients at the hospital. T__T Well, you can know more facts about Czech itself while chatting with patients.
One interesting fact about the match was that our doctor (also as lecturer) said he saw us on the television! He is an ice-hockey-fan; while having a break from his night duty, he watched the match live on the tv. And he said he saw 4 Malaysian girls! For sure, personally, he didn't recognized any of us like the name and so on. But, I guess, we are the only one wearing the hijab and that is sort of our identity. :)

Guess where were we? Hihi ;) p/s - zive means live.

By the way, my friend put the memories into this video :) Watch it guys, maybe you can have general idea of how ice hockey game looks like and how are the reaction of the supporters. <3
Since ice hockey is not familiar to me and I guess, most of Malaysians; so, let me share with you something I read from Wikipedia and others :)
1. Directly from the name itself, ice hockey is a game played on ice; basically by 6 players (including goaltender) from each team - they will try to shoot a hockey puck into the opponent's goal.
2. It is called the fastest game on Earth; due to its fast-pace.
3. The first time when ice hockey is played in Olympics is in the year of 1920.
4. 7 countries which predominate the international competitions; Canada, Czech Republic, Russia, Finland, Slovakia, Sweden, USA.
5. It is a full allowed body contact sport! So, we can expect many injuries and fight :p That's why all players need to wear lots of protective equipment.
6. To be an ice hockey player, absolutely you need to know skating awesomely well! So that you can turn around and move faster on ice.
7. Crowds cheering for their teams with some beers in hand. T_T they can be emotional too.
Looking forward for more winter games soon :D (even though I have no skills of snowboarding, skiing and so on. haha)
Till then,
Assalamualaikum and bye!

The Most Profitable Business
December 5, 2014
Have you ever know any business which will not make you loss or bankrupt?
Have you ever done any business which you don't have to spend A LOT of money, energy or thought?
Do you know any business where you don't have to compete with other people to get the profit?
I just learnt this and want to share with you; this one kind of business :)
THE PROFITABLE BUSINESS WITH ALLAH :D
O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? - Quran 61;10
Allah asks us, the believers; insyAllah you and me, all of us. But, what kind of business is it? And what should we do to survive the business?
[It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know. - Quran 61;11
Even myself, I feel it is easier said than done. But wait, Allah already mentioned there; it is the best for us. So, let us try! And if we believe in Allah's existence, we should believe in what He said too. Believe that He sent messengers for us; the Prophets to guide us along the way turning back to Him. People may say that prophets are no longer here, so how are we getting guidance?
Aha, do we realised Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him; left us with Quran and his Sunnah. InsyAllah Allah will protect them Quran from being adjusted.
During his return from the visit, the Messenger (saw) cried. The companions said, “What makes you cry, Oh Messenger of Allah?” He said, “I miss my brothers.” They said : “Are we not your brothers, Oh Messenger of Allah?” He said, “No, you are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me and they believe in me without seeing me.” (Ad-Darami, At-Tabaraani, Al-Hakim)
MashAllah, why we cannot love him while he always miss us? T___T
When we said a business, there must be something that we will get in return. The profit. So, what do we get here?
He will forgive for you, your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment. And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers. - Quran 61;12-13
SubhanAllah.
Of course we don't have the visual of the Jannah (heaven). But, look around ourselves; watch the sky, watch the beautiful rivers flowing in between the stones, watch how different kinds of colorful flowers growing around us, giving beauty to this world. Jannah is FAR more than all these.
We do believe the pain we have after exercise even though we can not see it;
We do believe the wind is there, blowing us but still we can not see it.
We do believe the electric current is the one making electrical appliance working, but still we can not see it.
We feel it. Then we believe in it. :)
Feel that Jannah is there, waiting to be granted to us. Believe it.
For remembrance of Allah is the cure for all ailments of the heart!
That are good deals, right? So, do you want to be the person doing great business with Allah? Let's try guys! InsyAllah, you will love it as how other people do love what they did for Allah :)
InsyAllah, may Allah grant us happiness, blessings, health and Jannah. Ameen :)
Salam Jumaah. Kahfi, everyone?

1st December
December 2, 2014
Assalamualaikum and hi there,
I'm currently updating from my new flat; yeah, I moved again and insyAllah hopefully this will be the last one till I graduate. Ameen.
Today is the first day living here officially. It is farther to the hospital than previous house, but there are public buses frequently available for me. Well, I am still cycling to the hospital (hmm almost to everywhere I need to go). :) But, it is getting cold now and the wind is much more stronger. When the ice starts to form on the roads / pavements, I think I need to start locking my bicycle in the store. Haha. It will be dangerous if I keep cycling though.
Aha, I passed my Neurology credit today! It was a group work to check a patient. When admitted to the hospital, she had a brain stroke and was not able to move right part of the body; at least at that time. At the end, we conclude she has brain lesion with right hemiparesis and also upper motor neuron lesion (based on positive Babinski sign etc). It was quite smooth to do the history taking with the patient. Neurological tests for head and neck, cranial nerves, upper limbs, lower limbs etc must be tiring for the patient, but she kept trying her best to help us with the physical examinations. Alhamdulillah.

Since it is already December now, even in Malaysia too we can expect many decorations for Christmas. They put many big Christmas trees, together with the big ornaments in few places and even decorated trees along the road with beautiful lamps of different colours. That can be seen in different departments of hospital too. I expect loads of discounts in stores. <3
For our general knowledge, Czech Republic is one of the least religious countries in the world. Most Czech people in previous time adopted Christian as religion; the largest one historically. But, it seems to decline a lot until at least 30% are non-religious and most of them are undeclared. So, I can say that Christmas is celebrated here mostly as annual occasion. Like a tradition of family togetherness; decorating a tree every year, share gifts with loved ones, have dinner as a family, spend holidays at the mountain with the family members.
By the way, on Christmas day, all supermarkets are closed. I still remember how we don't have anything to eat on this day during our first year and we didn't prepare for it. :(
p/s - I'm looking forward for the market; especially Trdelnik and caramel cashew nuts. :D

The Power of Malaysian Passports
November 21, 2014
Biometric card is just like our identity card (kad pengenalan) with picture and few details. It is used here as an alternative of passport.
 |
| My Czech I.C. |
I had a question from my international friend about the biometric card used here in Czech. She asked if having biometric card with long-term residence visa in Czech allowing us to travel to all EU countries without any problem. By the way, she is NOT a passport holder of any EU countries.
Actually, I have no idea about it. I just thought that having visa only allow me to stay in Czech with no further questions being asked. Well, any Malaysian passport holders can be here without visa for 90 days per half year though. That's good :D But, when I'm flying home, I will present my biometric card along with passport every time I pass Czech customs. Exceed 3 months, right?
I'm trying to help her finding more information, I suddenly remember I read online about "How Powerful is The Malaysian Passport?" Ahaa, now I realised that Malaysia is one of the top 10 most powerful passports in the world! It is tied with Malta, at the ninth place, two rank behind South Korea.

What does it mean?
The power of the passports indicate how far you can travel in this world without visa. For example, Malaysian passport holders can travel to 163 countries without the need of visa :D Alhamdulillah.
Check here for more details :)

Or maybe you can check the wikipedia - visa requirements for Malaysian citizens. or change it to any citizens you want to know.
For my friend's case, her passport does not allow her to travel to EU countries without visa. I hope she will be able to apply for every visas to each countries she would like to go. I think it's quite hard to do them here, but I'm sure she will get them done :)
Let's travel the world and reflect new experiences to be a better person :)
Have a nice weekend, people!
Assalamualaikum.
