My heart~~~

LUBB DUBB


Sadness is beautiful,
Loneliness is tragical.
So help me!I can't win this war.
Touch me now don't bother.
If every second it makes me weaker.
You can save me from the man I've become.
Looking back on the things I've done.
I was trying to be someone.
Play my part.Kept you in the dark.
Now let me show the SHAPE OF MY HEART.

Really,what is the shape of your heart?What is the shape of my heart?Does the heart have a shape?How many heart shapes are there?

Can't help but to hear this song playing over and over again when Dr.Aitken lectured us on Heart problems in Paediatrics thus afternoon.My mind switched on it's radio when he mentioned "Kids with Tetralogy of Fallot (pronounced as fallo)will have boot-shaped heart.The apex sort of turn upward.I know it's hard to see a boot here, but you have to take my words for this".Then, this BSB old song keep on playing in my head until now.

I still remember last year,when we had a session with Dr.O'meghan from Hutt Hospital, he asked what a heart is?All boys (I mean it,not exagerating) and minority of XX answered "heart is a muscular structure,pumping blood to the whole body,supplying oxygen, blablabla...". And, not surprise, majority of the girls answered heart as an organ that tells you the feelings.

Anyway, this entry is about SHAPE of the heart.Nothing else.Iskiskisk, we can talk about this tiny little organ forever.MasyaAllah~~~ (ia kecil, ia gagah!).


Apa lagi bentuk yang ada untuk si hati (atau si jantung?)

Egg-shaped heart is for Transposition of the great arteries.
Real egg heart =)

Snowman heart is for Total anomalous Pulmonary venous return.

Ok, lepas ini,pakat ramai-ramai tengok chest x-ray dekat cardiology department or paediatric ward, look for these shapes of heart,aye!

Study time!

Ramadhan 1


Blues pula tiba-tiba.First day of Ramadhan 1428H here in Wellington.

My 4th year of fasting in Aetearoa. Winter-Spring mood.

Dont know how to describe my feeling right now.A cocktail perhaps.

Excited with this Ramadhan;iftar,sahur,terawikh,etc.

Plus, kita bangga dengan kawan2.Since Ramadhan started, I've received many wishes.

Kebanyakannya,bahasa berbunga2.Tak kisahlah English atau BM,tapi semuanya indah bahasa.

----------------------
Sentiasa setting niat,
Upgrade iman,
Download sabar,
Upload usaha,
Delete dosa,
Update doa,
Top-up ilmu.
Dapatlah redeem pahala banyak2!
------------------------------------------------
May Allah protect you from all harm,
brighten your heart with the Nur of iman,
bless you with the vision of ihsaan,
and elevate you with the greatness of Ramadhan.
---------------------------------------------------------------
And last but not least, from Kakok/Afida.I think she made this herself!Talented!

Tiada syair seindah zikir,
tiada kata seindah Al-Quran,
tiada bulan seindah Ramadhan.
Walau mata tak bertatap,
tangan tak berjabat,
namun hati saling bermaafan.
-------------------------------------


Esok OSCE.

Cuak.

Anxious.

I know I should't be doing this at this second.

Procrastinating.



Rindu nak bersahur dengan mak abah adik2.

Rindu nak pergi pasar malam.

Rindu nak berterawikh dekat Surau Ubudiah.

Sad.

I'm feeling sad.

Why should I feel sad?

I dont know why I feel sad.

Oh,wait!

I know why.

But I couldnt tell.

That's sad.
-------------------------------------------------------

Enough!Balik ke meja study!Esok kita berOSCE =p

Selamat berpuasa,everybody! =]

KITA


MELAYU- Dato' Dr. Usman Awang

Melayu itu orang yang bijaksana
Nakalnya bersulam jenaka
Budi bahasanya tidak terkira
Kurang ajarnya tetap santun
Jika menipu pun masih bersopan
Bila mengampu bijak beralas tangan.


Melayu itu berani jika bersalah
Kecut takut kerana benar
Janji simpan di perut
Selalu pecah di mulut
Biar mati adat
Jangan mati anak.


Melayu di tanah Semenanjung luas maknanya:
Jawa itu Melayu,
Bugis itu Melayu
Banjar juga disebut Melayu,
Minangkabau memang Melayu,
Keturunan Acheh adalah Melayu,
Jakun dan Sakai asli Melayu,
Arab dan Pakistani, semua Melayu
Mamak dan Malbari serap ke Melayu
Malah mua'alaf bertakrif Melayu


Dalam sejarahnya
Melayu itu pengembara lautan
Melorongkan jalur sejarah zaman
Begitu luas daerah sempadan
Sayangnya kini segala kehilangan.


Melayu itu kaya falsafahnya
Kias kata bidal pusaka
Akar budi bersulamkan daya
Gedung akal laut bicara.


Malangnya
Melayu itu kuat bersorak
Terlalu ghairah pesta temasya
Sedangkan kampung telah tergadai
Sawah sejalur tinggal sejengkal tanah sebidang mudah terjual.


Meski telah memiliki telaga
Tangan masih memegang tali
Sedang orang mencapai timba.
Berbuahlah pisang tiga kali Melayu itu masih bermimpi
Walaupun sudah mengenal universiti
Masih berdagang di rumah sendiri.


Berkelahi cara Melayu
Menikam dengan pantun
Menyanggah dengan senyum
Marahnya dengan diam
Merendah bukan menyembah
Meninggi bukan melonjak.


Watak Melayu menolak permusuhan
Setia dan sabar tiada sempadan
Tapi jika marah tak nampak telinga
Musuh dicari ke lubang cacing
Tak dapat tanduk telinga dijinjing
Maruah dan agama dihina jangan
Hebat amuknya tak kenal lawan.


Berdamai cara Melayu indah sekali
Silaturrahim hati yang murni
Maaf diungkap senantiasa bersahut
Tangan dihulur sentiasa bersambut
Jika pun tidak lagi berparut.


Baiknya hati Melayu itu tak terbandingkan
Selagi yang ada sanggup diberikan
Sehingga tercipta sebuah kiasan:
"Dagang lalu nasi ditanakkan
Suami pulang lapar tak makan
Kera di hutan disusu-susukan
Anak di pangkuan mati kebuluran.


Bagaimanakah Melayu abad dua puluh satu
Masihkan tunduk tersipu-sipu?
Jangan takut melanggar pantang
Jika pantang menghalang kemajuan;
Jangan segan menentang larangan
Jika yakin kepada kebenaran;
Jangan malu mengucapkan keyakinan
Jika percaya kepada keadilan
Jadilah bangsa yang bijaksana
Memegang tali memegang timba
Memiliki ekonomi mencipta budaya
Menjadi tuan di negara Merdeka

Understanding Islam



TOO LATE FOR TEARS


Death knocked on
a bedroom door.

"Who is there?"
the sleeping one cried.


"I'm Angel Izrael,let me in."


At once, the man began to shiver
as one sweating in deadly fever.


"Don't take away my life.

Please go away.


O Angel of Death,
I'm not ready yet.


My family, on me depend,
give me chance
to go back and mend."


The Angle knocked again.


"O man,
it's your soul that I require,
I come not with my own desire."


Bewildered,the man began to cry.


"O Angel, I'm so afraid to die,
let me remain here as your slave,
don't send me to the grave."


"Let me in,O man,"the Angel said.


"Open the door,
get up from your bed,
you can't stop me from coming in,
Angels can go through objects,
thick and thin."


The man held a gun in his right hand,
ready to defy the Angel's stand.


"I'll point my gun towards your head
You dare come in-I'll shoot you dead."


By now, the Angel was in the room,
saying,"O man-prepare for your doom,
foolish man-Angels never die,
put down your gun and do not sigh.


Why are you afraid-tell me O man-
to die according to Allah's plan?"


"O Angel, I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to remember Allah's name.


From dawn till dusk, I made my wealth,
not even caring for my spiritual health.


Allah's commands I never obeyed,
nor five times a day I ever prayed.


A Ramadhan came
and a Ramadhan went,
but no time had I to repent.


The Hajj was already obligatory upon me,
but I would not part with my money.


All charities I did ignore,
taking usury more and more.



Sometimes I sipped my favourite wine,
with flirting women I sat to dine.


O Angel I appeal to you,
spare my life for a year or two.


The laws of The Quran, I will obey,
I'll begin Salat - this very day.



My Fast and Hajj, I will complete,
and keep away from self-conceit.


I will refrain from usury
and give all my wealth to charity.


Wine and unlawful women,
I will detest,
Allah's oneness I will attest."


"We Angels do what Allah demands,
we cannot go againsts His commands.


Death is ordained for everyone -
father,mother,daughter and son.


I'm afraid, this moment is your last,
now be reminded of your past.


I do understand your fears
but it is now too late for tears.


You lived in this world,
two score or more.


Your parents you did not obey,
hungry beggars, you turned away.


Your two ill-mannered, female offspring,
in nightclubs, for livelihood they sing.


Instead of making more Muslims,
you made your children non-Muslims.


You ignored the Athan (call to prayer)
nor did you recite The Holy Quran.


Breaking promises all your life,
backbiting friends and causing strife.


From hoarded goods,
great profits you made,
and your poor workers -
you underpaid.

Horses and cards were your leisure,
money-making was your pleasure.


You ate and ate
and grew more fat,
with the very sick, you never sat.


A little donation, you never gave
that could a little baby save.


You thought
you're clever and strong,
but O man,
you've done enough wrong.

Paradise for you?I cannot tell,
the disbeliever will dwell in hell.

There is no time for you to repent,
I'll take your soul for which I am sent."

Bulan Sastera dan Bahasa Negara 2007


Kawan berkongsi...

pagi ni tersentak apabila baca email daripada seorang sahabat... Ucapan tahniahnya tersimpan seribu makna...

terima kasih: norfahmi_ab@yahoo.co.uk dan Mohd Hassan
Tahniah
Assalamualaikum

Hari ni wajar kita ucapkan tahniah kepada diri kita selaku melayu muslim malaysia kerana hari ini 3/9/08 adalah hari terakhir anak2 kita menduduki peperiksaan besar ie UPSR dalam bahasa melayu.

Peperiksaan- peperiksaan besar yang lain PMR dan SPM sememangnya sudah diadakan dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Ya, akan ada orang membuat hujah ini demi kemajuan.

Tetapi bangsa manayang maju hanya dengan mengubah perkara ini? France? Germany? Jepun?

Soalan yang patut kita fikir dan tanya mengapa seluruh parti politik cina, kumpulan pejuang pendidikan cina dan sekutu mereka berjaya memastikan anak2 mereka kekal mengambil peperiksaan peperiksaan ini dalam bahasa ibunda mereka.

Selamat tinggal Bahasa Melayu.


Selamat tinggal Zaa'ba, Usman Awang,Keris Mas, Pak Sako, seluruh pejuang2 kebangsaan, selamat jalan kepada seluruh pemimpin2 yang berusaha mendaulatkan Bahasa Melayu suatu masa dahulu.

Suatu masa dahulu hingga melayu muslim berjaya melahirkan golongankelas menengah yang ramai seperti hari ini. Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa.

Yahudi berjaya hidupkan bahasa Hebrew kembali selepas membina negara.

Jepun teguh dengan bahasanya.
Begitu juga Perancis, Jerman dan seterusnya.

Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa. Sungguh ironi. Mungkin sememangnya bangsa inis udah mati akal dan jiwanya. Selamat Hari Kebangsaan.
----> Mungkin inilah alasan mengapa kita menjadikan bulan September tahun ini sebagai Bulan Sastera dan Bahasa Negara;mungkin untuk memperingati Bahasa Melayu yang lekang dek panas, lapuk dek hujan.

Itu?Ini?



Life is full of choices and life is also about making a decision.

Makin dewasa kita dalam hayat ini, makin banyak pilihan kita ada.Makin variasi pilihan,makin sulit untuk memilih.

We will scream that the world is cruel if we had no choices. The world is still cruel even if we had zillion of choices because we know, there's only one the best among them all.

Pilihan itu berkadar terus dengan tanggungjawab.Tanggungjawab pula berkadar terus dengan kedewasaan.Setuju?

These few weeks, the people from med school have been attacking us (the 5th year students )with lots of papers.Papers that need us to choose only one best choice among them all and need to be returned to them ASAP.Those forms are for our placements for next year: O&G, Surgical team, General Med, Paeds, GP and Psych.

Really, is this the time we should make up our mind about next year's things?I don't think so.I suppose,they want to sort things earlier before 2008 begins. But, this is not the right time to do all these things. We need to study for exams, OSCE,MCQs and end of run exams,etc. Don't add more burden .huhuhu...Have some mercy, will u?

I know I shouldn't been complaining about this. But, how am I suppose to know which place I should go to?Which one is the best for me?

Oh ALLAH, lend me YOUR strength.


Placement for O&G:
-Wellington
-Palmerston North
-Hawkes Bay
-Taranaki


Placement for Paeds:
-Wellington
-Hutt
-Palmerston North


Placement for General Med:
-Wellington
-Palmerston North
-Masterton

Placement for Psych:
-It's abt 6 of them, cant border to list them out =p


Surgery:
-General surgery
-Ortho surgery

It may seem simple, just circle any one of those of each module.Seriously,I need to consider some stuff too.Accomodation, transport, food, logistic,company,and all things that I prefer not to list them here =)

ISLAM



ALHAMDULILLAH

Ya Rabb

Pintaku jangan kau campakkan usahaku,jatuh kembali dari pengangkatan ke langit.


Ya Illahi

Terimalah perjuanganku ini.Jika tak sempurna lagi,hantarkanlah utusan pembetulan penyuluh silapku.


Ya 'Aziz

Kau yang berhak ke atas hidupku,maka jadikanlah ia yang terbaik.Janganlah kau palingkan hati ini lagi.


Ya Allah

Letakkanlah hati ini di atas jalanMU,alurkan jiwa ini terus ke sungai kehambaan kepadaMU.


Ya Rahim

Sekali lagi rayuku,janganlah kau sia-siakan kehidupan ku ini.

KepadaMu lah aku kembali.


Amin ya rabbal 'alamin
