The 5th and final(?) year

The darkness that shrouded the word of "Final Year" is looming myself.... After battling through the ups and downs of the medical school, it is finally here. It is enthusiastically awaited, and yet feared... No one knows what awaits beyond, yet everyone wants to go through it, hopefully unscathed by its visiousness.... What we have with us is hope, determination, hardwork, prayers, blessings.... and not to forget, the "books".

Thanks to Ramzi, the rotation and group members are now known. But, what I clearly noticed is that the male groupmates are shrinking in number from 10 in fourth year to just mere six this final year. It can't be helped since we had to be divided into five groups this year compared to just three last year.

Yet, I feel really small among great names in my group in the likes of Aimir, Anip, Azamani, Shufi and Mokk.... And this year, it is Aimir who'll be my roommate and groupmate (boleh tumpang keta)... hahaha. It's been Arep and Ruzain in the 3rd and 4th yr respectively. The great names among the females also makes me feel just like a little ant. I'm humbled to be listed in the same group as Liya, Timah, Masni and others... I really hope they can help me go through difficult terrains and and pull me up when I fall into the pits.

And, to all of you all my fellow comrades - whether you're in the same group as I or not - let us face this coming year with all we could muster of willpower and patience. And let Allah guide us to be successful in serving Him and His other servants. O Allah, please guide us and give us strength to be good, pious Muslim doctors.
