la tahzan

"la takhaf wa la tahzan, innAllah ha ma'a na"

(jgn kau takut, jgn kau bimbang, sesungguhnya allah bersama kami)

hm.. been emotionally unstable these few days.. thanx to certain friends who gave some advices n comfort.. i know i can count on u guys :)

btw, been reading la tahzan (jgn bersedih) book byDr. 'Aidh 'Abdullah Al-Qarni.. kire macam chicken soup for the soul for Muslims la, n non-Muslims can read it too! i just would like to share one of the topics in the book. simple yet deep.. (sorry, it's a bit Indonesian) here it goes-

Mengapa harus bersedih jika anda memiliki 6 resepi?

Penulis buku Al-Farj Ba'da al-Syiddah menyebutkan bahawa ada seorg bijak bestari sedang ditimpa musibah. maka datanglah teman2nya mengucapkan keprihatinan mereka terhadap musibah yg menimpanya. si bijak itu pun berkata, "aku tahu ada satu ubat yg terbuat dari 6 resepi berbeza" teman2nya pun bertanya, "apa itu?"

jawabnya,

1. percaya sepenuhnya kpd Allah

2. kesedaranku bahawa semua yg telah Allah takdirkan akan terjadi

3. sabar adalah senjata paling ampuh yg dipergunakan oleh org2 yg mendapat ujian

4. jika sy tidak sabar lalu apa yg bisa sy lakukan. dan sy tidak akan terbantu hanya dgn perasaan resah

5. mungkin sy saja akan berada dlm kondisi yg lebih jelek drpd kondisi sy skrg ini

6. dari waktu ke waktu jalan keluar akan selalu terbuka



~so, jgn bersedih!! cheer up! (TTH, ahaqs!)

random update (macam azi, hehe)

Try to get what u love,

Try to love what u got.

1. almost everyday i spend my morning till afternoon in a clinic near my house.. great experience i shall say. mebi i din learn a lot, but its the little things that i learnt means a lot. (i 'berguru' with 6 Dr's tau :P ) Alhamdulillah.. i already did suturing n IM injection. and observed a lot of circumcision (khitan) the 'traditional' way that i think if i were given a chance, i can do it! hehe.. (circumcision is not in the syllabus here in Malaysia, but in Indonesia) (my 1st experience of observing circumcision was in last year, at that time they used cauterization technique)

2. i have finished reading a few novels and a book.
- Dalam Mihrab Cinta by Habiburrahman el-Shirazy
- Sandaran Hati by Aini Marisha
- Should A Muslim Follow A Particular Madhhab? by Sheikh Muhammad Sultan Al-Ma'soomi Al-Khajnadee
- Tika Rindu Berlagu by Lily Suriani
Not bad, huh! frens, grab the chance to read non-medical books while u still can! do not waste time doing nothing :)

3. girls day out! watched "Madagascar- escape to Africa" with the kiddies (najwa, sarah, dina) at sunway carnival. best! i always lurve cartoons by the way. and fantasy genre. they always work on me. yeap! an escapism from the stressful life. hm.. while watching it, i missed usu's adorable kiddies! huhu~

4. still searching for a place to stay in penang island during my selective period there. what a tough job! it was me who 'have' to choose the postings to do, n it is me to find a place to stay. (trust me, Png GH is NOT my first choice). haih.. penat la... we cant stay at my house everyday, it's far from the island. argh! any suggestion? a cheap n nearby place to stay.. tolong!

5. been helping a friend doing his presentation on heart failure Tx. he asked me a lot of questions that i sometimes cant answer. mind u, if another non-medical student ask u medical questions, and he can argue ur answer with a better explanation, dun u feel ashame? n challenged? well, at least that was what i felt. thus it forced me to open books and read. pretty good isnt it, hehe.. ok ok, i'm a nerd. period.

6. while chatting with him, suddenly topic of blogging came out. and suddenly i told him that i feel like to slow down or stop blogging.. he said up to me la (heh, as if he reads my blog. i know he doesnt).. so friends, should i or shouldnt i? hehehe...


~ trying to optimize my 'holiday' usefully

new baby

Alhamdulillah.. last Thursday kak fiza my neighbour just delivered her 1st baby, aka the 1st grandchild of Cik Pah & Pakcik Kamal.. congrats!! the baby girl was delivered in KL, n was brought back to TG on Monday evening. that night, my mom, najwa n me visited kak Fiza n the baby la. she is soo cute and adorable (i bet all babies r like that hehe).. just got a bit of jaundice (kuning) but i think it is just normal 'physiological jaundice', nothing to worry about.

well, the talking is mainly on the event before, during n after the delivery la. the duration of kak fiza's stay in the labour room was just about 10mins only. believe me, that was very2 fast for a 1st timer. one of the questions is did she take 'air selusuh' b4 the delivery? yup, but not right b4 it la, when the pregnancy was in the 7th month kot. hmm.. ok.. since the baby is jaundiced, i asked wether she took any traditional herbs? not yet, she said. and Cik pah already bought 'air mutiara' to reduce the jaundice. err.. never heard about it.. (cant find in the internet either). then, cik pah cite, since it has been a long time since she last pegang baby, she was quite cautious when bathing the baby. she is scared that the baby's cord will fall out masa mandi, sbb org tua2 x bagi tali pusat luruh masa mandi. i asked why? cik pah asked me to ask her mother.. hihi.. x berani la..thus, i dunno why la..

so, kesimpulan here is cik pah said, sometimes we still kena percaya perubatan traditional nih. even if u r a doctor pon. cik pah tau, Frh x percaye kan?
(ye, sy mengangguk.. eg: sbb Dr kat labour room x bagi minum air selusuh. somehow it works to contract the uterus. vigorously, that it can cause uterine rupture. takut x bunyinye? tapi org dulu2 mmg beranak minum air selusuh je. xde inject oxytocin/pitocin ni pon kan.. hehe)

hm.. entahla.. bukan xnak caye tp sebab kite blaja modern medicine kan.. tp as long as it does not cause more harm than benefit, just let it go la.. ye x? :)

talking about traditional meds, my father just bought a plant called 'belimbing tanah' or its scientific name is tacca integrifolia. it does not look like any starfruit pon ok.. i dunno why it is called like that. it is very unique. macam ada janggut. here r the pics:

note the long janggut

according to org tua2, it can b used to treat hypertension, hemorrhoids, diabetes, heart disease and renal disease.. any comment? hehe..
