DR. YUZITA YAACOB: SAYA ANAK MALAYSIA

Salam to all,

1989...I was not feeling well lately and so I decided to go to the university clinic for a medical check up...maybe becoz I was in a great tension with so many exams around the corner and also writing my research paper...?🤔. At that time I was doing a master degree in Mathematics (with minor in Computer Science) at the Sam Houston State University (SHSU), Texas, USA. The result of the medical check up : I am pregnant !!! 🙂. At first I was worried...in case I couldn't handle my pregnancy with my study but I knew Allah will not test you with something that is beyond your capability (Surah al Baqarah: 286)...with that reminder from Allah...I felt calm...alhamdulillah🙂.

Dr. Atkins, my gynaecologist, advised me not to go back to Malaysia when I am in my seventh month pregnancy because it might be detrimental to me and the baby. I told him it all depending on my viva which was scheduled on the seventh month of my pregnancy and if I get thru it...I want to go back home straight away to Malaysia...or else if I don't get thru it...I need to rescedule my viva to only Allah knows when...perhaps next semester and if so...the baby will be born in the US😯!!! I don't want that to happen...coz I want my baby to be born in Malaysia (inshaAllah)...so that he/she can declare that "Malaysia tanah tumpah darah ku" or "Saya Anak Malaysia" 😀. By the way...in islam it is not wrong to have this feeling of great love for your country becoz if you don't...who else will 🤔???

My viva didnt go well on the first day...I didn't seem to be able to answer most of the questions asked by the examiners...i wonder why 🤔??? So the examiners wanted to continue the viva on the following day. The next day Prof Stoltenberg (head of the examiners) admitted they made a mistake of focusing on the area that was not supposed to be my research area. They apologized to me. So we did reviva and this time...alhamdulillah...I passed😊.

Now...I was already in my seventh month pregnancy but I still wanted to go back to Malaysia as soon as possible...and I did...safe & sound. Alhamdulillah😄.

Our baby was born about two months later.

We named her Wan 'Ainul Yaqeen...😘❤️❤️❤️

👆Yaqeen was quarantined in a hotel near Hospital Putrajaya (with 31other Medical Officers (MOs)) becoz of a patient they treated was found Covid +.

Alhamdulillah...only 1 MO was found Covid + and already recovered🙂.

*** I remember telling my husband : "Kalau xlulus juga viva kali kedua ni...I akan terus juga buat sampai lulus...dan kalau xlulus juga...alamatnya kita dok US je la..." 😂😄😅(sbb I dah janji dgn bapak I akan habiskn master I (inshaAllah) masa nk minta permission bapak utk berkahwin).

*** Tlg doakn Yaqeen & rakan2 dan frontliners yg lain sentiasa dlm perlindungan dan rahmat Allah.

Ameen...🙂🤲
