25th November 2010

One more hour, today will end. hehehe. And officially, I've turned 2-0 today. Yes, the big 'two' in front. These are my favourite quotes of the day. Hehehe. 

Sabda Nabi, mafhumnya : 'Tidak berganjak kedua-dua kaki seorang hamba pada hari kiamat sehingga disoal mengenai umurnya pada perkara apakah ia habiskan, ilmunya untuk apa digunakan, harta benda dari manakah ia peroleh dan pada apakah ia belanjakan, serta ttg tubuh badannya pada perkara apakah ia susutkan kemudaannya serta kecergasannya"        -Hadis riwayat Tarmizi

"....moga bertambah iman seiring dengan usia..." - u-noe-who-u-r

All praises to Allah for blessing me the nikmat of breathing until this very moment. All I''m asking from You is to never let me deviate from this path of siratulmustaqim and intensify my Iman and Takwa to You.

And again today, I tagged along my father into his OT. Hahaha. So much for my birthday celebration. It was a coincidence that he'd surgery to do today. Tagging along with me were 2 other friends.

Quite embarassing at first, because we'd no idea how to get into there and the operation was on-going at that time. Fortunately, my father sent a nurse to pick us up. Aiisshhh, dah malu nk jmpa nurse tuh. 

The patient was a young girl, 15 y/o. Fuuh, muda tuh. She has idiopathic scoliosis;  medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side (idiopathic...yes, the word idiot gives out the meaning already). Tp sy membuat teori bhw budak nie sgt rajin study smpi asyik tertido kat meja study. Which finally lead to her condition. Hahaha. ;D

Be grateful that Allah still rewards us with healthy back

When we entered the OT, the back of the girl was wide open. And I wondered how the docs differentiate the stuff in her flesh when I could only see red thingy all over it. Aishhh. Xreti, mmg la....

The team was trying to straighten the bending by putting screw and blablabla. There scene inside there was no difference from the construction site. Hahaha. And I'm not joking. You've got hammering here, drilling there and screwing the bones. For one minute, I'd totally forgotten that they were doing it on a living thing...one mistake, you'll leave the patient paralyze. Scary, huh...

Yeah, team medical dragon~ Ahaks

One this particular doctor was squishing the scraped bones from patient into pieces. Agak pelik. Turned out that, the pieces of bones will be scattered back into the girl's spine to grow new bones. Klakar ssb xpenah dgr plak camtuh. Homograph something...

Finally, after almost 3 hours standing and observing from far (and being totally invisible to other docs and nurses), we left the room to pray and eat. And never come back there. Hahaha. Xde la. One of us had to other errands to do. So, we called it a day.


Lots of things I couldn't comprehend back in the room. So, there's still a looooooooooong way to go. And InsyaAllah, if I make it to become a doc, there's one thing I pray hard to Allah; I don't want to become a reason behind the death of my future patients. Na'uzubillah...

Menanam satu impian di sini...hehehe (feeling abnormally short w/out the heels ;p) 

p.s. To all my wonderful friends, thanks for the great and meaningful birthday wishes. Allah yubarik fikum!!!

p.s.s. 25,26,28,29 Nov....such wonderful dates. I wonder why??? hehehe

Randomness

Everyday, I'm always grateful to Him for blessing me with these two nikmat; Islam and family as well as friends who perpetually remind me how great the Islam is. Had it's just me, I would have never gone this far. Ya, sy sgt lemah. Everyday is a fight with nafsu. A fight with inner-self and evil's whisperings. Sometimes, I outsmart them but most of the time, they over-top me. 

Some of my friends have stronger and better fikrah Islami which I salute and respect them. And kadang2 saya malu juga dgn mereka. Tp, saya suka bersama mereka...he3... ;) 

Go to 1:33 directly if you want to skip the song.

The vid is about Ruben or Abd Bakr, an Australian who'd converted to Islam. I'd watched it a couple of times and every time  I did it, it gives me goosebumps. Malu dgn diri sendiri pn ada. If you'd seen it, xpe la. Just a sharing from me.

Today, I've made myself to visit the Cheng Ho exhibition, bersama-sama 2 rakan setia saya, he3. The place was huge and full with small gerai inside and outside the air-conditioned tents. Jualan both from Malaysia and China (tp skit je kot dr cina; mostly jual batu jed, bracelets, china silk and so forth). One that I found kind of interesting from China was 'Terapi Naga Api'. Hahaha. Well, mmg ber'api' pn. Simply put, it's like a typical massage. Instead being wrapped by a thin clothing, that tukang urut will put a thick one (kain pe ntah) on the body and pour some fluid (sy xpasti air ape) where flames are coming out from it. 

My second fav was that long chinese scroll. The label said 'Al-Quran dlm bahasa Cina'. I instantaneously went WTH??, since when Quran was written in chinese. Okay2 relax, it's just the translation. Misleading tol la label tuh. The interesting part is that the translation was written by a non-muslim, complete 30 juz. Huhuhu.

Yes, as a typical woman, ahaks, I couldn't help myself to be attracted to the clothes' section. There was nice iranian's  garment. Sgt elegant.

Us : Berape erk baju2 nie?

Auntie: Satu RM 500, taaaaapi ader 10% discount, so, dlm RM 400++ je.

Me: (As if that 10% will make any difference to that rm500) Aisshh.  

Finally, that Cheng Ho guy exhibition at KTC. Since he was a muslim, I was hoping to read more on that guy's biodata and his role in Islam. Tp cam xde je (or I just missed it??) Hmmm.

Some pics that I snapped...

The guy himself

I think these replicas are his armada?

The world's longest Quran (200m)....he2 I saw my reflection there.

Empty

The thing about cuti that I like the most is the freedom to think of what I WANT to do next, instead what I HAVE to do next.

But the most hateful part is lacking of self-control and discipline. I can spend the whole day just watching the stupid box (read : tv) or blogwalking into random bloggers.

And I felt really, really empty...

I think that's how it felt when your IMAN is falling and crashing into ground. Istighfar ye...

It would be nice to have doses of them...

This week ade pameran Cheng Ho kat stadium. I've no idea who he is or what he'd done before. The pameran sounds really like a historical one. Ahaks. Oh, there's acrobatic show too (but not really looking forward for it as I'm not fan of height).

p.s. 4 days left before the moment of 'teen' ends. I wish my face (or height) do reflect my age.

Bengang

It's the night before eidul adha. But....

Despite of that, you have a father who is

 groaning in pain,

thinning due to not eating,

and obviously is not having enough water.

Someone suggested to bring him to the hospital,

At least, if it is his time already,

let hime go in peace,

not in a devastating way.

But, 

NO,

you said, "Sape nk jaga kt hospital?"

HELLO!!!

Look around you,

you've at least seven siblings, 

not to mention, your children are grown up already to help taking care their grandfather.

So, what's your problem?
Malas nk deal with hospital??
Baba is more than happy to jump in to help,
Even, some of you are working in the hospital...

Or you just simply don't care....???

P.s. Sorry, it's not my intention to unleash my anger tonight. I just got back visiting relatives at Kg. I coudn't even stand for 5 minutes in front of that poor man, what's more for a week like the family did. Groaning, moaning, menggelepar sana-sini. Baba explained what they can do; bring him to hospital. If they think the pain was from 'buatan org', then bring the bomoh to the hospital too. I bet the doctors are fine with it.

Theys seemed to agree with baba...at first. Then, they started to give excuses and decided that the best way is to keep the poor man in the house and do nothing. Great!

P.s.s I know that the power of healing is in Allah's hand. He's the true healer. But I believe that the power of ikhtiar is in our very hands. 

P.s.s.s Have a blessed eidulaldha though!
