Time and tide
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Life as a doctor is a really an unpredictable one. It is worse especially if you are bonded to the government for a certain period of time. In my case, it is a 10 year contract. 8 1/2 more to go.
Say for example, my department is blessed with a good number of medical officers. I have only 5 on calls for the this month. Next month there will be a couple leaving the department, therefore we are all back to square one.
With regards to me, I have submitted my transfer request. I've requested Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. I am neither Torres nor Meireles who decided at the 11th hour to turn their back on their old club, who has given them so much.
lol! Jokes aside, it is attributed to the fact that it is my turn to take care of my parents. I have been away for far too long. Long story short, I feel homecoming is so good. No, I have not received my confirmation letter yet. It is this feeling that, frequent traveling Kulim-KL-Kulim makes you miss home more and more. It never subsides really.
Wish me luck!

Affection
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It's 12 midnight, and I should have long been dreaming on my bed.

It is funny that you can develop affection towards somebody in a short space of time. Life is unpredictable, it has always been like that. Japan, amongst the best in technology, lost billions of dollars with hundreds of life in the recent tsunami.
You always hope that whatever is given to you is the best for you. I reckon everybody hates it that when they think they have got everything, in a blink of an eye, they are gone.
Nothing lasts forever, but the hatred towards the saying never ceases. All good things will end one day, and so do the bad ones.
One thing that we should always keep in mind is the trust to Allah. He knows best.

I've been wanting to write for the past few days, honestly. However, this holiday is about non stop traveling for me.
Imagine this, Kulim to Kl the day before raya, next KL to Johor Bahru on the first day. Third day of Raya, JB to KL, and KL-Melaka-KL the day after. I had a break on the 5th, and I safely arrived at Kulim at 5pm(1 hour ago).
I feel physically tired.
Nevertheless, it was a fruitful tired. I am over the moon again. I shall keep it low, at least for now.
I got to see my family, and a couple of friends.
Not to forget the duit raya, it is by far the biggest I've ever received. Shortly afterwards, 90% had to spend for some important reasons(biggest portion for hutang!).
Now that I am back in Kulim, I will kick start my financial saving drive today. Yes today. I reached Kulim at 4.50pm, and at 6.26pm, I have seen close to 10 patients in clinic.
I have got to start working hard again.

The Reason
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I remember once the commentator was saying 'just when you think you've seen everything', during the Champs League final in 2005.
Life is unpredictable, is it not? One moment you feel that you are on top of the world, and next with no warning you can hit rock bottom.
I feel grateful for what He has given me. Everything that happens has its reasons, and virtues of course.
Now it is Day 21 of Ramadhan, and it goes without saying that this holy month will finally leave us, regardless of what we feel.
At the end of the day, you will roughly sort of know if you have succeeded, or not. The deeds recorded will be kept up there, and only will be judged at Hereafter.
Grant me the strength to maximise the benefits, ya Allah.

RM50
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I was going to start packing up for tomorrow's homecoming journey. Out of nothing, I suddenly feel the urge to write.
It all occurred in August 15th, 2 days ago. A patient with Chronic Rheumatic Heart Disease was admitted for transportation purpose for his follow up at IJN (National Heart Institute). As I was seeing him, I felt all the troubles in the world had disappeared.
He's a young boy, less than 12 as far as I can remember. His mother came to see me a couple of weeks ago, asking to sign his welfare application form. I asked the mother 'are you both well prepared for tomorrow?' and 'how much did they ask you to pay during your last visit?' .
The answer was RM50. I'm pretty confident to the many of you will have no qualms paying that. Deep inside I knew RM50 means the world to them.
They returned to Kulim last night. To my surprise, they were asked to now pay RM350. I suppose you can tell how much would they be able to pay? I assumed they had brought RM50 again, but how much do you know about them right? They could only afford RM30, and kudos to IJN for treating them well. Allah knows your virtues and you will insyaAllah be rewarded for your good deeds.
This event makes me think. We will achieve our 54th Independent Day since 1957. Moving towards 2020 and lauding your near 0 poverty means nothing. I repeat, nothing. How responsible are our leaders?
Both PR and BN, please wake up. Your hatred towards each other does not benefit the rakyat at all. Until today, I do not know what will this boy's family have for their iftar and the coming Eid.
I strongly hope PPZ will be more generous in distributing their zakat collection.
I thank Allah for sending me to Kulim. There are still a lot more to learn.

Pemuda lesu
Dengan nama Allah Maha Pemurah Maha Mengasihani
Sedar tak sedar, dah masuk hari ke-12 dah hari ni. Ada yang kata cepat, ada yang kata lambat. Tak kisahla bab tu kan.... sehari tetap ada 24 jam macam mana pun.
Kebelakangan ini banyak isu yang mengganggu kita. Yang paling jelas pada mata saya ialah isu JAIS.
Saya mulakan dengan khutbah Jumaat hari ni. Mungkin saya yang terlalu letih sebab semalam tidur lewat sebab teringin sahur Nasi Kandar Beratur di Penang. Tapi bukan sekali, yang kita keluar dari masjid tanpa ingat apa isi kandungan khutbah yang kita dengar tak sampai 20 minit lepas.
Institusi Islam yang diberi kuasa terlalu pasif dan lesu. Tanpa menafikan jasa yang telah ditaburkan, kita lihat mereka agak perlahan dalam menangani isu-isu semasa. Khutbah jumaat hanya sekadar untuk dibaca oleh para khatib.
Saya masih ingat ketika di tingkatan 5 di MRSM Pengkalan Chepa. Saya kebetulan di belakang Tuan Guru Nik Aziz yang sehingga sekarang kelihatan tidak berapa sihat fizikalnya. Yang mengagumkan, Tuan Guru naik ke mimbar dan terus memberi peringatan tanpa melihat kepada teks. Terasa lain sangat dengan khutbah Jumaat sekarang, yang tak ubah macam memberi bantal kepada orang-orang yang mengantuk.
Institusi-institusi ini juga agak pasif dalam sentiasa mengukuhkan akidah umat. Terlalu pasif dalam tindakan yang diputuskan.
Oleh sebab itu, ramai yang riuh suara bila serbuan JAIS terhadap gereja. Pertama sekali untuk saya, saya tidak pernah mendengar hujah Hassan Ali, Jais dan pihak gereja dalam isu ini. Sukar untuk saya memberi komen yang adil tanpa hujah kedua-dua pihak.
Akan tetapi, berbeza sungguh zaman ini sikapnya. Seperti lemah kita ini yang jika kita diberi kitab Bible Melayu atau masuk gereja, kita akan jadi rosak akidah.
Saya selalu suka pendekatan yang lain daripada kebanyakan kawan saya. Saya suka mengambil pendekatan penambahbaikan kualiti diri daripada melemahkan kekuatan lawan. Saya sendiri walaupun menyokong kempen boikot Israel, saya lebih suka membeli barang buatan Muslim. Ini kerana dengan kekuatan sendiri yang lebih kuat, kita secara tidak langsung memberi kita booster untuk melawan pihak lawan.
Juga sama dengan pihak Pemuda Pas Pusat, yang agak pasif dan reaktif. Mereka hanya menunggu 'event' untuk datang dan tiba, kemudian akan turun membantah. Konsert tu dan konsert ini, tugas mereka hendak membantah.
Adakah jauh lebih baik jika mereka mengambil pendekatan yang aktif. Saya suka melihat contoh yang ditunjukkan YB KJ yang turun ke serata Malaysia untuk BN Youth Job Fair. Bukan nak suruh tiru, tetapi aktif jauh lagi dari pasif. Ada eloknya mereka sediakan pertandingan sukan, cari peluang kerja, promosi gaya hidup sihat dan lain-lain. Sekurang-kurangnya nampak juga alternatif untuk orang muda berhibur dengan cara lain.
Pada mata kasar rakyat, Pemuda Pas ni sangat pasif dan kerja hanya ingin bantah konsert yang datang di Malaysia.
Mereka sepatutnya mengemudi pemuda.
Saya tahu, saya bukan orang terbaik untuk komen. Tapi sebagai rakyat, saya ingin melihat PAS berdiri tinggi di mata rakyat.

Syukur
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It's one of those days for me, that you complain so much over 1 thing that you cannot get. You have all the reasons in the world to express your gratitude, but you prefer to sit down and do nothing.
It is exactly the same that when you make 1 and only mistake, that people forgets all the good things you have done. They will only talk about nothing but the mistake that you did.
That is just how life is.
I know this attitude is unforgivable. More over, when God has given you so much, yet you have very little will to be thankful.
I will never stop learning. I shouldn't eh?

48 hours
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I am bored to the max here in clinic.
I have 5 more hours to go, and to be honest, I really do not know what am I doing this for?
I work hard and I barely have the time to enjoy this money. I hardly even have the time to have adequate rest.
I have decided that this coming Ramadhan is the time for me to focus on prayers and good deeds. On and off there will be a few slots to be filled in, but rest assured, maximum is nothing more than 5 slots outside.
I need to get a life this time.
How do you define a life anyway?

Ramadhan
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It's been some time eh?
I am sorry. Life's not as organized lately, as I hoped for. So many things have happened.
Forget all this worldly matters. The Holy month of Ramadhan is closer than we think. In less than 5 days, we will have to wake up in early morning for sahur, going up to work with 13 hour spell of empty stomach and prayers at night.
Everybody seems to be excited.
Alhamdulillah, I have been able to endure the previous years. Honestly, you can tell whether your fasting has actually achieved everything but success.
I don't want to go on 30 days of fasting, and the end result remains the same old Azri. Many deem this as a school, where you give your best shot to come out as a successful graduate.
I remember as a student, in New Zealand, it was close to winter and the weather never really helped, really. You could never enjoy your friendship more than what we had here. It was never about race. Malaysians, Arabs, Indians and all Muslims around the world sat down together, waiting for the time to break fast.
I treasure those memories. Sometimes you wish you could turn back time and enjoy those moments again.
Some photos will be up in the next few days.

Dosa
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Sometimes guilty strikes you when you commit a sin. Let alone if somebody commits a sin as a result of a sin that you have done?
It is like a domino effect, where one event leads to another, and it is over and irreversible, right before you know it.
I felt bad.
There needs to be an end to this problem.
Suffering is not an option this time. I need to break away from the current me, and another new Azri. A soul that commits himself to the One.
Only you Allah can guide me to the right path. Forgive me for all the sins I have committed, knowingly or unknowingly.

Have you ever seen somebody suffering as a result of what you have inflicted? To be honest, I have, and it was never my intention.I never intended,and something I never wanted.
To this person, I pray that 1 day will be back on your feet, face the world as strong as it was before. I am sorry that you are not getting the support that you ought to get. I am still right behind you, but eventually it will be down to you to believe that you can get up again.
You know my position very well.
Perhaps whatever has happened is a blessing in disguise. We are weak after all. We can plan, and execute it to the max as we can. That is as far as your body can go. The final outcome will be at His courtesy. He knows what is best for us.
I wish you all the best in the future. It was a sweet 1 1/2 years for me, it really really was.
I can't promise what will happen in the future, but what is certain, I only want the best for us.
hope this soothes your heart, albeit temporarily

Imperfecta
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Over the past few days, I feel more calm, settled.
I don't know what has made me feel that. To a certain extent, I can confidently attribute this to the kulliyah by Dr Asri.
I think I've made up my mind. What has happened has happened. Of course, there are regrets. I suppose that is part and parcel of life. No matter how hard you try sometimes, the happy ending may be far off from what you have dreamed off.
Hence, you may as well swallow the pill, though it is bitter. Not everything that is bitter is bad.
I once, was the first to get cramps in the expedition to conquer Gunung Tahan. The group consisted of 8 boys and 8 girls. It was embarrassing to have had that, but I was in the smaller group that reached the summit eventually.
I am now back on 2 feet and putting a smile back .

I need a break
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It's a beautiful Saturday. It is the last day of the weekend in Kedah. Weekend is defined as Friday and Saturday here.
The weather is stunning, cool and breezy after a late night rain. It reminds me of New Zealand somehow. Funny enough, I missed Malaysia like crazy during my stint there. I tried to get a bit of Malaysia in everything I do. I played Malay songs everyday, ate Malaysian food and many more.
Where are you now, you might ask? Well, since I became a doctor, I have hardly been at home. If I don't go out, I'll be away doing extra work, i.e. locum. 2 things, firstly extra money, and secondly to improve my clinical knowledge.
I am not the type that likes to spend hours in front of my television set. Exception is for football matches and good movies.
In the next few months to come, I look forward to having a long deserved break. I haven't decided where to go, but I need a bit of fresh air. So many ups and downs recently, hence the reason why.
I believe this is a test from Allah. God willing, I will emerge stronger.

Hello there, my followers!
Yeah, it has been a long short hiatus here. I apologise for that, it's nothing short than a turbulance to describe the past few weeks.
Well, I am not in the best state of mind to reveal anything yet. I guess I need some time for recovery, both mentally and physically.
I just want to say that I would like to be active here again, sharing my thoughts on anything and everything I like.
I really miss that part of my life, where I am critical in my ideas and opinions, and I get replies questioning my thoughts.
There's a saying "What does not kill you will only make you stronger". To be honest, I am not into this, but I will learn to be back on my feet again. I know I will.
Life is like this, you win some and you lose some.
Nobody likes to lose. Proven many times, winning or losing is not an option.
You just have to get on with that.

Dugaan

I feel emotionally disturbed. This wave of discontent is troubling me.
Have you ever had a thing that you badly wanted, it was never taken away, but the delivery was delayed? Delayed not in a matter of minutes or hours, but in a bigger scale.
I wouldn't mind if I can guarantee I still have 40 years ahead of me.
I keep telling myself, things happen for a reason. I had a break up, and was later substituted with a better one. That is an example of course.
I feel like picking up a fight. No, that is not a wise move.It won't make things better, for sure.
"Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau hukum kami jika kami lupa atau melakukan kesalahan. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau bebani kami dengan beban yang berat sebagaimana Engkau bebankan kepada orang-orang sebelum kami. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau pikulkan kepada kami apa yang tidak sanggup kami memikulnya. Maafkanlah kami, ampunilah kami, dan rahmatilah kami. Engkaulah pelindung kami, maka tolonglah kami menghadapi orang-orang kafir."
Allah will never test you in things you can never resolve. I believe in Him. Patience is the key now. Patience my love, patience(Gollum's style).

Jealousy
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It's really strange to be mentioning this, but jealousy has preoccupied my mind for the past 2 days. I seem not to be able to get rid of this one thought.
I suppose not to go into details in the matter above is a smart move.
Preaching to people that 'you don't always get what you want' is the easiest thing to do. We've been taught that there's always a reason for everything that happens. Allah never fails to listen to us. He never rejects our requests. He is fair, he knows when to grant the request and when to substitute it with something better.
Having that in mind, I guess patience is the key.
Patience my love, patience- Gollum.
In the meantime, I know the key to success is to work hard, and work smart. Work harder, harder and harder.
I hope at the same time I will strive harder to become a better Muslim.

I know this page is lacking in update for almost a week, or slightly more. I've been slightly busy though. You know that you can't always win. Also important to note that you will always lose something in every victory.
Life as a medical officer is not easy. Every post on call I'll feel extremely exhausted, without fail. No matter how much sleep do I get through the night, the next day surely makes me I need a day off to completely recover.
Anyways, I have been making my life busy by working extra time in private clinics. I'm earning some extra money, and I guess it is only fair that I use a large chunk of that money for myself. Therefore folks, enjoy this!
I have returned to the right path. I was with Htc previously, before switching to Nokia. The time is right, couldn't be any better somehow.
I pledged my loyalty to Samsung 10 years ago. I reckon there is always turning back in this matter.
I'll be at Penang for the next 2 days. This time it is for asthma seminar. Quite looking forward to it really. God willing, I will come back with some improvised knowledge, and photos!!!

Jumaat
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Weekend has started for me. Well it is Friday, and this is Kedah. Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday I am back to normal working day. Sigh..
Personally, I would prefer to have a standardized system throughout the whole country. It would be easier to coordinate activities with our beloved families.
I still find it hard to fathom the reasons given. It doesn't seem right.
9. Hai orang-orang beriman, apabila diseru untuk menunaikan shalat Jum'at, maka bersegeralah kamu kepada mengingat Allah dan tinggalkanlah jual beli[1475]. Yang demikian itu lebih baik bagimu jika kamu mengetahui.
10. Apabila telah ditunaikan shalat, maka bertebaranlah kamu di muka bumi; dan carilah karunia Allah dan ingatlah Allah banyak-banyak supaya kamu beruntung.
Surah Jumaah
People will go home post prayer to sleep. It doesn't match the character that our holy Quran describes.
Even the Westerners work hard on Friday. Weekend starts on Friday night. Whereas here in Malaysia, Friday is your first day of weekend.
What progression could you achieve when you continue with this? Less transaction is made on Friday, and Sunday when it opens, occasionally you have to wait till Monday to get all the paper works done. We are well left behind, my dear brothers and sisters.
11. Dan apabila mereka melihat perniagaan atau permainan, mereka bubar untuk menuju kepadanya dan mereka tinggalkan kamu sedang berdiri (berkhotbah). Katakanlah: "Apa yang di sisi Allah lebih baik daripada permainan dan perniagaan", dan Allah Sebaik-baik Pemberi rezki. (surah jumaah)
Another thing is, it is not to have your lunch or cendol during the sermon.
I hope this will change. Unfortunately I can foresee it happen anytime soon.

Disgusting UMNO
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I think we Malaysians have seen the dirtiest that we could ever imagine in our politics. The video that is said to have involved Anwar Ibrahim has been disseminated all over the country. What is more disgusting, Utusan and Kosmo, have cut and pasted the stilled images from the clip and made it public, for the youngster to the old folks to read.
I don't know if I will ever forgive Utusan. I truly don't know where are the so called 40 ulama who joined UMNO with the intention to spread the good image of Islam. I feel disgusted looking at UMNO. I feel disgusted that they call themselves Malay Muslim when the only thing that they do is slandering.
If it is really Anwar, bring him to court.
I will never vote for UMNO, for as long as blood is pumping through my veins. Call me fanatic, but I really cannot tolerate this.

I had my first ever on call as a medical officer. For your information, medical officer is a step above of House Officer, or houseman as they call it in Malaysia. Medical officer is a fully registered doctor, after completing 2 years as a medical graduate.
It was a super exhausting call. I was pretty much non stop running from 8 am till midnight. The climax when I received a call asking for my presence in a premature 31 week pregnancy in labour.
Saving his life alone took almost 3 hours.
I went home the next day at 10, and was absolutely flattened out till 2 pm.
It was a good learning experience nonetheless.

Occasionally people breach the trust given to them.
The temptation sometimes is so good that you feel like abandoning your possessions.
Being me, the last thing I want to do in this world is to commit a treason. As bitter as it tastes, I suppose you have to swallow it. It doesn't necessarily be the best for you.

Kulim
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It touches your heart somehow when somebody recognises you and you don't feel the same way. For instance, today I was about to pay for 3 doughnuts, I asked 'Berapa ni pakcik'?. He replied back 'Seringgit je doktor'.
That was the not the first time. Deep inside in your heart, you wonder 'who is this person again?'.
I suppose that is the way of life that our old folks used to have. These days it is known as 'please, mind your own business'. Those days, they know each and everyone of the villagers. They care, and are kind to each other.
Kulim, though having a steadily increasing population, currently 300 000, is not really a big town. Well, that is obvious I guess. The town is nothing more than just a small 'pekan'. Hence, the old values and the lifestyle.
To be honest, I really don't know what the future holds for me. Allah knows where will I be in the next 5 years. Maybe in Kulim, maybe in Kuching or perhaps Kuantan. Should I get sent to these places, Kulim will be fondly remembered. A place full with good memories...

The Wedding
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Today I had the discuss with my friend regarding wedding, as in what is ideal and fits our culture.
I think we have long blindly followed the custom without questioning it. We have got ourselves into a expensive and tedious affair.
In Malaysia alone, we have Utara, Kelantan, Terengganu and Melaka Malays.The list goes on and on. What fascinates me is that between these small states, the custom varies significantly.
As far as I can understand, you can expect your wallet to thin faster should your partner come from Northern states, in term of spending for the wedding.
I am not a die hard fan of this you see.
Moreover when you see that most Northern Malays are not wealthy in general.
There are many things that you find it difficult to fathom throughout our lives. Some of them, we have just to swallow it in, despite its bitter taste.

Locum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
As you are already aware of, weekend in Kedah is defined by Friday and Saturday. That is not ideal of course. I would rather have 1 standardized system for everybody, and I am pretty sure many will agree.
Anyway, not all weekends are meant to be wasted. Right now, I am stuck in Permatang Pauh doing locum. Do you know Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is from this area? Anwar, come out and show yourself! They have come to see you!!
This whole thing will finish by evening.
Many have opted to do locum to earn extra income. With the amount we are getting, it is sufficient to lead a just comfortable lifestyle. Well, not really, if you work and live in big cities.
For me, the moment we receive our salary, almost half of it will be gone by 1 day. Loans here and there, and bills too.
Imagine if you are 28 and you have a wife and 3 kids to look after.
I admire the older generations who had successfully raised more than 5 kids. 5 is just a number by the way, as an example. The current generation at this point of time, hardly have more than 4 kids. The reason given is high cost of living.
I share the same sentiment.
That is why I appreciate my (relatively) young age. I work extra hard for the future. Do not speculate, it has nothing to do with future kids(yet). I am just saying, for future property investments, car loans and perhaps, getting married? lol!!
Not to forget, investment for the hereafter is right as important as the world. A balance between these 2 worlds is vital for everybody, especially the Muslims.

Ikhlas Tapi Jauh
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
There is not much to blog about today. I'm in a new phase, where as a Medical Officer, you are no longer required to be there 7 days a week. 5 days is of course compulsory, whereas on the weekend you ought to be there if you are on the on call list.
The past 5 days have taught me a lot. Now as a medical officer, you bear the responsibility for whatever you are dealing with. Mistakes are now not tolerable.
I have learned how to save babies. Still the knowledge needs more fixing. I tend to jumble up everything when panicking. A great advantage that I posses is that I get acclimatised quickly, not everyday though. Alhamdulillah..

Without the slightest doubt in my mind, Malaysians can call themselves extremely lucky. Too many events have taken place very very recently, from East to West. Japan are struggling with the impact from tsunami, Libyans are still battling for their lives and many more.
Having said that, being lucky we are, we have made our lives difficult unnecessarily. Started from Sodomy Trial, the endless corruption and the latest sex scandal, said to be involving Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
There are 2 group of characters here, 1stly, the group that will blindly believe their PKR/UMNO leaders are perfect. Secondly, the group that will object everything whatever their counterparts say.
Have we forgotten,
“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, hendaklah kamu semua sentiasa menjadi orang-orang yang menegakkan keadilan kerana Allah, lagi menerangkan kebenaran dan jangan sekali-kali kebencian kamu terhadap sesuatu kaum itu mendorong kamu kepada tidak melakukan keadilan. Hendaklah kamu berlaku adil (kepada sesiapa jua) kerana sikap adil itu lebih hampir kepada takwa dan bertakwalah kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui dengan mendalam akan apa yang kamu lakukan. (5:8)”
We ought to analyse all the information that is fed to us.
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Jika datang kepada kamu seorang fasik membawa sesuatu berita, maka selidikilah (untuk menentukan) kebenarannya, supaya kamu tidak menimpakan sesuatu kaum dengan perkara yang tidak diingini - dengan sebab kejahilan kamu (mengenainya) - sehingga me...njadikan kamu menyesali apa yang kamu telah lakukan.(al-Hujurat:6).
We must also continue researching the best answer to the question we want the most, the truth. The quest is never straightforward, and that is the reason why victory is sweet.
We don't live forever, and there is no guarantee that we will see sunset tomorrow.

Sex Video
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
A lot have been said on the sex video scandal, largely unofficially linked to the leader of Pakatan Rakyat.
With the recent unconvincing Sodomy 2 trial, and its chronologically inchronological, one would question to what extent will Malaysians go and assassinate one political career.
Fair enough, it could be DSAI. It could also be anyone.
Have we forgotten this verse,
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Jika datang kepada kamu seorang fasik membawa sesuatu berita, maka selidikilah (untuk menentukan) kebenarannya, supaya kamu tidak menimpakan sesuatu kaum dengan perkara yang tidak diingini - dengan sebab kejahilan kamu (mengenainya) - sehingga me...njadikan kamu menyesali apa yang kamu telah lakukan.(al-Hujurat:6).
We are not that perfect anyway to constantly expose one's weaknesses.
I can confidently say many of the Malays have done little reading on our political scenes. Mostly will follow whatever their parents support, as simple as that. Yet, when it comes to argument, they will act as if they know everything.
That is what I call....ah, nevermind.

Melaka.
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Today is day number 6 of my long awaited holiday. This leave is a bit special in a way, that I get to meet up a lot of friends. Sometimes I feel like capturing all these moments on camera, so that I get to remember these forever. Weird enough, the only camera that I have is my iPod (if that is counted in).
I too was fortunate enough to have the chance to travel to Melaka yesterday. It was a day trip, so now you can still imagine how tired I am now. The last time I stepped foot there was perhaps 6 years ago, attending Zahrul's brother's wedding.
Melaka has changed a lot. It is much more beautiful now, complimented by its outstanding landscape. The food wasn't as good as expected. I can't complain much though, it was only a one time experience.
There is more to tell, unfortunately time is not on my side now.

Unwise
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I sympathize the Japanese. What they are going through is not easy to imagine. In a blink of an eye, they have lost everything. Everything from shelter, food and other basic needs of life.
Not a few have the heart to make jokes out of it. The likes of Ultraman, Shin Chan and Doraemon have made into the Tweetlines (headlines). For that reason, we have become famous worldwide for the wrong reason.
Berita Harian with their cartoon, and now, our so called First Lady, has gone out of her mind. How unwise more could you be by correlating climate change, green technology and tsunami?
The evidence never lies.
Please, enough making the headlines inappropriately.

Japan
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I think if, at this time you really have no idea what is taking place in Japan, you are the most ignorant person(s) in the world.
It really needs no further telling, videos or images to imagine the amplitude of the event. I do not subscribe to Al Jazeera, however thanks to P1 Wimax, Al Jazeera online streaming is now a possibility.
I really hope more help will come, hence more lives can be saved. We have had the experience of Acheh, and losing 200 000 of your fellow countrymen is really bitter to take.
For my fellow Malaysians, please, leave politics aside. We may have different ideologies, but we should/MUST stand together as 1 in this. 1 nation, 1 Malaysian, by whatever names you can think of, we must offer the best we could.
If anyone has links to any relief efforts/accounts, do post here. I would like to play a part as well.
It's probably too late already, however better late than never in volunteering yourselves for the good of mankind. With the title Dr in front of my own name, I make it an aim to join Mercy Malaysia in the near future.
I hope to hear more good news when I get up tomorrow, InsyaAllah.
I pray to Allah to grant them safety.

"I knew I was an idol for the Liverpool fans, but it wasn't the same any more. The institution was in chaos with the sale. There was all this talk of possible projects," he said.
"In many ways it reminded me of Atletico Madrid - a great history, many ideas but without money, it needed time. I don't have that.
"People aren't honest in the world of football. You can't say the truth or be clear with people. It's a business and nobody is anyone's friend."

Kicau Kicau
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I strongly recommend all my blog visitors to join me at twitter. Yeah, it makes you slightly anti social, but getting 1st hand information is very handy.
For instance, the Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy trial can be followed closely through updates from The Malaysian Insider. It makes no sense to compare the info obtained in comparison to Utusan Melayu.
Besides that, I have become the followers of some high profile individuals. To date, I am following DS Najib, Khairy Jamaluddin, DSAI, Azmin, Tony Pua, Kit Siang and not to forget, Juliana Evans (pretty,isn't she?) .
Their constant updates make me glued to my Bold.
Still, with the never ending technology inventions, I still spare some time for futsal, gym, movies and occasionally shopping.
Work wise, though not the best, I have been maintained good standard.
In less than 24 hours, my housemanship is over. Woohooooo!!!

The Future
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It was a turbulent weekend for me, a mixture of joyful, nerve wrecking and also frustrating 2 days.
Yesterday was the last working day a House Officer for me. Officially it will all be over on March 10th, however I am taking leave for the last 3 days. It has been a long 2 years for me. Some have said time flies fast, but that does not seem to be the case for me. With so many ups and downs, I think I have become a better person.
The older you become, the more challenges you will face. It is a scary thought that it's you, yes YOU, need to be on your own 2 feet as age catches up. More responsibilities are placed on your shoulders, and your decision may affect millions. Even worse for me, as a doctor, they will come to me asking to save lives, as if I am God.
The tall order of to keep everyone happy is also another tough task to carry out. It needs no further elaboration here. I reckon maturity is an entity that we need to have, or rather develop, to be a leader, of your family to the least.
I guess what I am saying is now that I have reached a higher level of my career, I need to strive harder, to be better than what I am now.
I still have 5 more days to go, before I will be called as Medical Officer.
Putting that aside, the weekend, yeah. What about the weekend?
Started off with a bang, the committee members and I managed to gather our schoolmates to a reunion get together on Saturday. It was our first meet after 10 years. These people still look the same, some have gotten fatter, some have lost so much weight that they looked like 'mat pit'. Nevertheless, it was an event to remember. One month of hard labour haver paid off, and I couldn't help but to fall asleep while my sisters enjoying Hantu Kak Limah at 9 pm.
The next day, I was back at Kulim. A few of us gathered at Nassmir to watch Liverpool-Man Utd game. 3-1, what a night. Fernando who still echoes now and then. He is gone, and who needs him when we have Luis Suarez. Andy Carroll was given his long awaited debut, almost marked off with a superb assist to Dirk Kuyt. Kenny Dalglish, Happy Belated Birthday to you sir. You can't be more right, there is this belief in Anfield now. The fun to watch Liverpool is back.
There was another news that broke the heart of Malaysians on the same days. The people of Merlimau and Kerdau had had their say, and they voted for BN. I do not blame the defeat entirely on these relatively education lacking citizens, but rather partially must be finger pointed to Pakatan Rakyat. The entire mechanism is a mess.
Please rearrange the lines. Malaysians need a stable and strong opposition, if not a new government.
For everything that happens, there will be a reason behind it. I have fallen before, I refused to acknowledge the future can be entirely differently that you could have imagined. Allah knows best.

Restless Soul
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I reached KL at roughly 8 pm. It was a long journey, as I had to go to Penang to fetch my sister, and next to KL, it had taken me more than 4 hours to be home.
I am obviously exhausted. It is 1 am Friday morning. I feel restless. Something is troubling my mind. It isn't preoccupied with anything specific though. I don't know. I can't explain it.
For whatever it is, I still have to be thankful to Allah. Without his bless, I wouldn't have reached home tonight.
God willing, I shall be successful in getting some sleep tonight.

Do we dare to change?
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It is true I suppose the domino effect has kicked in. Now it has spread to Libya, Algeria and Bahrain.
People are getting discontent with how their respective government are treating them. They manifest it, and it is their right to express it.
Regardless of whether you are an UMNO supporter or Pakatan Rakyat, it is widely accepted that the leaders in third world countries are the most corrupted ones. Stating the obvious examples are Hosni Mobarak and Ben Ali.
Sometimes this happens right under your nose and you pretend that it is never there. For example, Taib Mahmud, the Chief Minister of Sarawak. How much wealth has he amassed it beyond my knowledge. The amount is not important, but what must be made public is he is a corrupted man.
Sarawak, being Sarawak, we can foresee they will be still under BN rule for years to come. We plead for a change, and for us, who have no money and power, we rely on the educated ones to relay the info to the Sarawakians. We want change. 51% from Peninsular Malaysia voted for PR.
What differentiates Malaysia and other states are we we love peace. Not many are willing to go down the stress to protests. For us, for whatever that we want, we will let our votes do the talking.
I urge my fellow friends, to step up in your efforts to read, read and read more. I am 98% sure not many from you know what is happening in Bahrain and others. For instance, doctors were beaten to near death, Algerians machine-gunned and many more.
Do not sit down in warung and read Utusan, and start talking like you know everything. Reading Utusan and Harian Metro brings you, your race and the nation backwards. You can't disagree with this can you?

Sakit gigi
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I've just come back from Kuala Lumpur, the city where everybody knows my name. It was for only 2 1/2 days, but joyful nevertheless.
The only negative from the journey was the recently started never ending toothache. My goodness, Panadol can only provide temporary relief. After some, the pain returns faithfully to me. Why oh why?
I can't complain though. So little grateful have I given back to the Almighty. So little have I obeyed the rules and regulations of Islam, yet so many sins have I committed, continuously.
The time will come when this pain goes away, and good and bad moments will come, albeit continuously or alternately.
I am thankful for everything.

Valentine's Day Part 3- The Final
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
This is the final one, the finishing touch in other words.
for muslims..fatwa kebangsaan..fatwa dah ni
ni antara yg mampu aku buat..bende dh nyata..baca ayat ni btoi2..Perayaan itu mempunyai amalan yang mendorong ke arah maksiat dan bercanggah dengan akidah, syariah dan akhlak-->jgn main2 perkara akidah..
artikel penuh
KUALA LUMPUR: Remaja Islam dinasihatkan tidak terpengaruh dengan pelbagai promosi bagi meraikan Hari Kekasih atau ‘Valentine’s Day’ kerana ia bercanggah dengan ajaran agama, sekali gus menjurus kepada perbuatan tidak bermoral.
Mufti Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainol Abidin, berkata tradisi itu tidak patut diraikan
umat Islam kerana ia perbuatan yang tidak diizinkan syarak dan jika tidak dihalang, ia boleh memesongkan akidah serta menyumbang kepada gejala sosial.
“Perkara itu terbukti kerana pada Hari Kekasih, ramai pasangan mengambil kesempatan keluar berdua-duaan, ada yang turut melakukan hubungan seksdan ia
jelas menyimpang daripada landasan agama,” katanya diminta mengulas mengenai keghairahan umat Islam yang ingin menyambut Hari Kekasih pada Rabu ini.
“Oleh itu, pelbagai pihak terutama badan kerajaan dan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang
bertanggungjawab dalam soal agama perlu bekerjasama dengan media bagi
menggerakkan kempen kesedaran kepada orang ramai mengenai hukum menyambut
Hari Kekasih,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Mufti Johor, Datuk Noh Gadut berkata muzakarah Jawatankuasa
Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Malaysia kali ke-71 yang
bersidang pada 22 hingga 24 November 2005 lalu bersetuju memutuskan bahawa
amalan meraikan Hari Kekasih tidak digalakkan agama Islam.
“Perayaan itu mempunyai unsur Kristian dan mempunyai amalan yang mendorong ke
arah maksiat dan bercanggah dengan akidah, syariah dan akhlak,” katanya.

Valentine's Day Part 2
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Part 2
Valentine's- Sangat kurang faktanya
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Kebanyakan kita sejak dari bangku sekolah lagi disuap dengan maklumat, ilmu dan segala jenis bende oleh cikgu-cikgu.
Suasana yang pasif ini menyebabkan kebanyakan kita menerima bende seadanya, tanpa mempersoalkan kesahihan atau kebatilan kenyataan2 guru2 itu.
Lihat sahaja tarikh 14 Feb ini, yang dipanggil Hari Kekasih atau Valentine's Day.
Begitu banyak cerita buruk tentang Valentine's ini, dari seorang Paderi yang menentang kerajaan, pembunuh Muslim, bercinta walaupun dia seorang paderi dan macam2 lagi. Dari mana sumbernya pun, tidak pernah diberikan.
Saya juga pernah terlintas tulisan seorang warga bukan Muslim dahulunya di Myspace. Saya tidak sempat membaca keseluruhannya. Apa yang beliau tulis ialah cerita2 baik tentang St Valentine ini.
Secara intelektualnya, dan sebagai seorang Muslim kita tidak boleh memfitnah orang sesuka hati, baik dia Muslim atau tidak. Jika anda tidak tahu apa fakta dan apa 'auta', baiklah anda jangan berbicara. Janganlah anda cuba berlagak pandai terutama dalam hal agama.
Jika ditanya oleh bukan Muslim, jika anda tidak berjaya meyakinkan hujah dengan ilmu dan sumber yang sahih, dan lebih malu jika pihak non-Muslim itu pula kata sumber pihak Kristian mereka mengatakan St Valentine itu adalah orang jenis itu dan ini. Anda bukan sahaja memalukan diri anda, tetapi impak lebih besarnya ialah anda menjatuhkan nama Islam.
Dan janganlah kamu sekalian menyerupai Yahudi dan Nasrani. H/R Ahmad.
Kenapa tidak kita menyambut Valentine's Day ini ialah kerana bukan perayaan kita. Tidak kiralah sama ada St Valentine itu pengebom berani mati ataupun pencinta wanita, perayaan ini tiada dalam agama kita.
Jika anda begitu semangat nak buktikan St. Valentine itu orang ini dan itu, silakan. Anda akan menjadi lebih berilmu daripada saya, dan jika anda rajin silalah kongsikan.
Dari Ibn Umar ra berkata : Bersabda Rasulullah s.a.w : Sesiapa yang menyerupai satu satu kaum, maka ia telah menjadi golongan mereka. H/R Ahmad, Abu Daud dan at Tabrani.
Untuk saya, Ringkas alasannya. Valentine's Day bukan hari perayaan Muslim.
Saya berterima kasih kepada pihak berkuasa kerana berkhutbah tajuk Ajaran Songsang dan Valentine's. Cume lebih baik kalau penyampaiannya lebih efektif. Lebih baik juga kalau Pemuda PAS, Pemuda UMNO dan pihak2 NGO dapat bersatu dalam mencegah maksiat. Masing2 terlalu sibuk berpolitik hingga laungan2 politik itu hanya menjadi retorik pada akhirnya. Masing2 ada BIRO agama yang hanya BIRO pada nama sahaja. PAS juga terlalu asyik berpolitik. Pemuda2 di bawah dibiarkan sahaja oleh pihak2 agama ini.
Tiga jenis manusia yang dibenci oleh Allah (antara mereka) ialah penganut Islam yang masih memilih (meniru) perbuatan jahiliah. H/R al-Bukhari.
Yang harus diterangkan ialah implikasi menyambut perayaan ini. Kesan masa pendek dan masa panjang terhadap pembangunan Islam dan negara.

Valentine's Day Part 1
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
This entry is merely a copy of what I've written before, in previous years. There are 3 entries, 1 will be entered in tonight, the rest will tomorrow and the day after I hope.
Feb 14.
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Tomorrow is the day that perhaps many have been waiting for. Why Feb 14?
Many have read several versions of Valentine's Day. Does it matter which one is the most correct? It doesn't, does it?
They say, we celebrate tomorrow in the name of love. I reckon, in the name of love many girls have fallen into the trap. In the name of love, we see statistics of unwanted delivery blooming up in November and December. In the name of love, a lot of married coupled file for a divorce.
None of these are necessary.
It is not a day to remember for us, the Muslims. We get deceived looking at all the seductive promotions of this and that, and we do not get anything in return. Who are the real ones celebrating this? Memory Lane is!
Tomorrow is not for us. It's as simple as that.
If you think the Muslims are falling behind those Western countries, celebrating Valentine's is one the reasons the Westerns' downfall. If we copy them in the unwanted and less ideal ways, we are making ourselves further left behind.
In the end, we have only ourselves to blame. It's as simple as that.
Give me your thoughts. I enjoy discussing.

I suppose you've made your decision. You get on with your life and so do we.
To the so called neutrals, which many are Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City, Spurs and Chelsea fans, please comment on these ;

Treason
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I'm absolutely glad that last week ended yesterday. It was a turbulent week, and one of the most nerve-wrecking weeks of my life.
What is sweeter was how the way it closed its curtain.
2 issues that made into the trending topics last week
-Torres
-Egypt.
1st of all, I am very grateful to Allah for bringing back my younger sister. She was stuck in Egypt. God knows how terrible it was, but she endured it. Admirable I must say. Put yourself in her shoes, and tell me if you could ever stand 1 day in Egypt without food, all sorts of communication and family.
Some have objected, and I believe they are entitled to their opinions. Still, it doesn't make sense to come up with ridiculous ideas. Have a look at my facebook, in one of the headline statuses. Incredible the way they tackle this issue.
When Kenya managed to provide 13 airplanes to bring home their citizens, it makes you wonder how slow our Government was, doesn't it?
It is your opinion, but I'm pretty sure if I didn't mention Umno in that sentence, you wouldn't have gotten angry, and I am very confident of this.
It is the mentality, I suppose.
Mentality.
Mentality.
That matter aside, I reckon most Liverpool fans are happy with the result last night. I admit I lost sleep when Torres decided to leave Liverpool. You(Torres) have left us, but is it necessary to mention what you have mentioned?
Destiny as you put it. You had Liverpool as your first hurdle, and you stumbled. What a feeling, there is no words to describe it.
I hope you chose the right club. I personally thank you for your services, but you are not welcome anymore in Liverpool. Expect hostile reception if you ever step food in Anfield again. You hurt them real bad mate.
This is funny. Forwarded from a cousin.

I think I have just rediscovered the joy of playing football. King Kenny has now get everybody going. His magic manifested in my display tonight, not terrific, but I feel good, that is how I describe it.
You know when you are scoring goals, albeit not freely, you feel that confidence is roaring high. The next one will spur you to score another one.
Though it was another futsal session, I never really enjoyed being a striker. I feel the greatest joy in defending my own keep. Going home with 3 points is more felt when you have secured a clean sheet.
The way I see myself throughout these 27 years is, I am a team player. A victory as a team is more important than winning the top goalscorer award.
I may not have the best qualities to become a leader, but believe me, when I get the right team mates, I do strive for success together.

Burning Sensation
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
For the past couple of days, I seem to have little motivation to get up in the morning to go to work. It is not the same anymore. The joy of coming to work is not there.
Previously, life was better, in terms of relativity. I get to express myself freely. Whatever job is given will be distributed evenly. All the time, there must be one who must break this teamwork spirit.
Why, why and why?
He, hardly does any job. He, runs away a lot of the time. He, comes late EVERYday. He, goes for long 'short smoking session.'
He, also however, makes it public over the smallest job he did yesterday. He, tries to portray good image in front of the seniors. He, even complains that nobody ever helps him do the job in the ward.
The seniors, well, a couple of them know of this.
You see, knowing alone does not do any good. Better still, they keep their eyes blind.
When boss praises this so called 'hardworking fella' , none of them open their mouth.
The hardest to swallow, when boss brings down several of my colleagues, none of them try to defend the juniors.
Why, why and why?
When you work your socks off, and your colleague doesn't, you get run down and he gets all the praises in the world.
Who on earth cares about the praises. To the many of us, we feel extremely low after being told off in that manner.
It does not only hurt, it kills off your motivation.
Surprisingly, fairness, I suppose, is the projected image that they see in themselves.
I know I better keep it low, at least for now. If any of them happens to read my blog, so be it. At least, I get to express myself. Knowing that our voices are not heard, the more I keep it inside, the hotter it is the burning sensation to vomit this out.
I have decided to channel it down in this blog.
Perhaps, if they come through this blog, they will have the courtesy to seek what is the truth.
Fingers crossed, and I can only hope.

I feel so exhausted. I haven't done much though, but this lethargy is rather not unusual. I was post on call yesterday, but the rest that I had had was insufficient.
I will be at Lumut tomorrow, for my younger sister's wedding. To be honest, I really have no idea where it is.
Who cares, as long as I get to see my family members, I'll be more than happy.

This blog has been on a hiatus for the last fortnight. I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates. Believe me, having to work for 34 hours non stop for 4 times since the New Year has really taken its toll. I am dead tired.
I still keep myself updated through Twitter and Mobile Facebook. I recently bought myself an Apple iPod. Pretty awesome stuff really. It is rather unfortunate that you need access to Internet in order for you to navigate the Touch to the max.
I installed an apps to perform a countdown to the end of housemanship. I am no more than 57 days away from crossing the finish line. Excited? You tell me!
Rumours are saying that I have been drafted into joining Paediatrics team in the future. Disastrous! I think I have to come to a decision that adult medical is the way to go for me.
Fingers crossed that whatever is given to me, I shall take it a challenge from Allah. I believe whatever is fated, it is for the better me.

Yucks!
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Yucky isn't it when PR-led Selangor government implemented a ban on 1 Malaysia ads on billboards. Absolutely disgusting.
It came after so many years of trashing BN all the time, from top to bottom. Now they are doing it themselves?
It is definitely not a smart move my dear leaders.
With the invention of new upcoming social network apps, for instance Tweeter, it is becomingly more evident that instability can be seen in both parties.
The question now is, are we choosing the better of between 2 worse options?
No wonder the Third Force has emerged from its nutshell.
PR needs seriously a major overhaul. PAS is the best of this 3, always able to keep it quiet, but a steady strong attacking force. DAP is not bad, but PKR......seems to be on lost direction, aren't they?
Thinking about it again, is there any possibility that UMNO controlled media are succeeding?
In my humble opinion, PR needs to work harder. Seriously, because we need better leaders.
Politics aside, I have never been more impressed with our local film industry. In specific, this movie, loooooooooooooooooooooks awesome!

The Challenge
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Life is rather stressful nowadays. As expected, the more senior you become, the higher the expectation is placed on you. You are sort of, a role model for the juniors.
Hence, when corrected by your seniors, you tend to vent your anger unnecessarily. You will react, as if you are perfect and mistakes are something not part of you.
This is reality for me. I am the senior most at my level. I know there is always room for improvement.
I should not rest on my laurels now. Much obstacles ahead I need to overcome in realising my ambition to be a better man, if not the best.

The Malays
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I think it has to be re-made public that political awareness among the Malays in this country isn't that good.
Statistically proven in GE 2008 that the percentage of Malay voters turning out to cast their votes is lower than the Chinese.
Surprisingly, the Malays have the highest number of MPs in the Parliament.
Moving into modern society, this awareness that politics is an important aspect of our lives is undeniably important. I'm pretty sure politics exist everywhere, from your home to your office.
Some say politics is dirty, hence the ignorance. I beg to differ. Politics consisted of men and systems, and it's the former that gives b to the latter.
It is not about being fanatic to your label of preference, but one has to understand that 1 vote is important in shaping the future of our country.To translate this into simple words, the Malays and all Malaysians should first and foremost, register themselves with Election Commissions. Make your voices heard.
Fence sitters are for those with no knowledge, no principals and low intergrity. Whoever your choice is, it is important. Never it is as important as casting your votes, really.

It was a rather strange night, last night. I arrived safely at destination at 7 pm. More or less 4 hours did I take from KL to Kulim.
The night before I had barely 6 hours of sleep.
Being obviously tired last night, I switched off everything from my comp to my Blackberry at 11 am. I tried, somehow my constant turn to right and left did not help either.
I finally managed to get a couple of hours eventually. How exactly is still a question. If there is somebody I really have to thank for is none other than Allah.He kept me occupied the whole day. I was going to take a nap in the afternoon. Barely 5 minutes, I was asked to be at another ward.
Only Allah knows how tired I am at the moment.
At times, whenever I go through this period, I wish home was a few steps away. I can't deny, I yearn to return to KL.

KL is home.
Home.
Home.
Home.

Maturity
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I am truly grateful to Allah for being given the chance to spend a wonderful time with family last weekend.
I find it hard to believe that she is married. She is 24, mature enough to be a wife. To my eyes, she is still my younger sister. =)I suppose it could be a hint that nobody is getting any younger. I will turn 28 at the end of next year. Not being able to step up to a higher level is boring, if you know what I mean. Stagnant sucks.
During this wedding, I got the chance to snap a photo with this gentleman, who makes headline more often than not, lately.

I respect for whatever he is fighting for. Having said that, that does not mean I agree with his ideas. Never.

My 1 Malaysia
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Lately, lots have been said on Ketuanan Melayu or Malay Supremacy.
To be honest, I don't feel it is necessary.
In my humble opinion, this thing has to go one day. Together with Chinese and Tamil schools. It doesn't have to be implemented abruptly. A target must be set that for instance, in 30 years from now, everyone will be on the same terms, regardless of their skin colour.
A race of Malaysian will then be the only identity for all us.
That is how I define a successful 1 Malaysia.

Blogging/Tweeting
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Nowadays, with the widespread use of Twitter and Facebook, the power of blogging seems to be waning away. I do tweet, but the nature of my job prohibits me from becoming the next 'Aisehman' or 'Anwar Ibrahim'.
I am not that significant in the tweet world, but sometimes it gives you a good feeling that somebody like Nik Nazmi is following me on Twitter.
Blogging is still my cup of tea. Here I get to express my thoughts freely.
Lately, I have received a lot of wedding invitations. I feel great for them. Do I envy them? Yeah, to some extent.
Nothing to do with masculinity, I personally think the affinity between male and female runs in our bloods. Hence, the relationship and marriage.
My turn will come, InsyaAllah.
When it does, your addresses will be needed.

Inception
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Inception is a really complicated movie yet very difficult to fathom the storyline.
A dream within a dream, which is a dream in the first place.
I should be studying right now. Dreams can come later. lol!

Patriotik Gile!!!
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I really do not know how did I come across Paul Tan's blog today.
You know one of the reasons that I am really looking forward in returning home next weekend is Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show. It will be the first of many I hope.
I can't be more impressed when I saw this.
Be it a facelift, minimal upgrade or whatever term you might want to use, I personally think it is a fantastic achievement. Really impressive, don't you think?
Anyone interested in buying my Civic? Seriously.

Bad Apples
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I never expected my last article able to attract so many. Previously my page average 100 readers per day, but it has reduced over the past 2 years, since I started my job.
From the bottom of my heart, I extend my apologies to whomever it may concern. Blame the bad apples, they have given you and me a bad name.
The damage done by some lazy house officers has been done, and to turn the table, we started to find faults from the opposite party. As a consequence, the good name of many medical officers have been tarnished.
Nobody really wants this I suppose.
I wonder, when I finally get to step up to medical officer level, how would my life actually be? Will I ever be like those I mentioned before?
Time will tell.
1 more month before 2011 begins.

Loser
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
One issue that made the headline on The Star recently was "Houseman Glut". 2 more articles today
1. Housemen today are pampered
CONGRATULATIONS on your expose on the houseman sham. I think it is high time this issue be brought to the attention of the authorities concerned.
2. Check the slide before it goes out of control
I REFER to the report “Houseman glut” (The Star, Nov 27) about too many new doctors and too few hospitals to train them, and that these housemen even have time for a movie during work.
Perfect, huh?
Why are we getting the blame all the time?
The hierarchy goes from Medical Students-House Officers-Medical Officers-Specialist.
I am a house officer, of course.
When I started the job, there were only 4 of us in that busy medical ward. One day, we had more than 15 discharge summaries to be done, let alone mountains of other jobs, and my senior MO was sitting next to us reading Harian Metro. Better still, he was laughing looking at gossips and rumours.
On normal days, they can hardly be seen in the wards.
When these MOs are not on rosters for on call, they go home in the afternoon.
Once, a referral had to be made to a Chest Physician. It was 4.30 pm and the file was placed nicely and neatly right in front of our eyes. This referral was yet to be made, therefore I thought, let me just pick up the phone and make the call. This specialist nicely reminded me that this is not my job.
The next day, I was scolded by my respective specialist for making the call. Heck, I was scolded for doing the right thing. This group of so called medical officers was not given a word as a warning at all.
Believe me, I have just deleted what I wrote below 5 minutes earlier. I decided to cool it down first.
Don't ever trigger this bomb to explode please.

Intense
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
In less than 2 weeks, my younger sister is getting married. Yes, another younger sister.
Knowing the custom very well, I know I will be bombarded with this question heavily on her wedding day.
I keep on thinking, how would I answer this question? Certainly, I do not plan to settle down till I complete my housemanship.
The question on who my future partner is, I guess it is not a secret anymore.
I rarely crack under pressure, but I hate this unwanted feeling that people are meddling with your personal issues all the time.
till next time,
assalamualaikum
