Mirror is us.


“Seorang mukmin itu adalah cerminan kepada mukmin yang lain"
( Hadis Riwayat At-Thabarani)

Tenang suami tercinta berbicara. Pandangannya tetap fokus kepada pemanduan. Sesekali dia menoleh menatapku yang sedang menadah telinga untuk mendengar sambungan kalamnya sebentar tadi.

“Cuba sayang beritahu abang apa sifat-sifat cermin?”, dia menduga.

“Hmm, cermin boleh pantulkan cahaya. We also can see ourselves dalam cermin. Dan cermin ni sangat penting dalam hidup seorang perempuan..hehe”, balas saya sambil berseloroh.

Si dia tersenyum lebar. Sengaja saya tidak memberikan jawapan yang lebih relevan kerana mahu menghayati jawapan yang bakal diberikan olehnya nanti.

“Betul la tu jawapan sayang. We can see ourselves dalam cermin. Sifatnya; cermin akan beritahu kelebihan dan kekurangan sebenar yang ada pada diri kita. Mana yang berlebih, kita rapikan di hadapan cermin. Mana yang terkurang, kita perbaiki supaya lebih elok. Dan satu lagi sifat cermin yang paling penting…cermin tak akan sebarkan kelebihan, kekurangan atau aib yang dilihat itu kepada orang lain.

Maka begitulah simboliknya kepada hadis yang abang sebut tadi. Dalam rumah tangga, suami isteri adalah cermin kepada satu sama lain. Kita saling meraikan kelebihan yang ada pada diri masing-masing, dan saling membetulkan kekurangan yang ada. Dan semua ini adalah di antara kita berdua sahaja, tidak disebarkan kepada orang lain”.

Subhanallah. Saya terpegun mendengar nasihat di sebalik simbolik cermin daripada hadis tersebut.

Hikmah(bijaksana) seorang suami dalam menyelitkan nasihat ketika permusafiran kami berdua.

Alhamdulillah, manisnya lanjutan taaruf pasca-nikah.

Dalam diam, saya berdoa kepada Allah agar memberkati suami tercinta dan agar Allah memelihara ikatan di antara kami berdua. Sungguh, ku mahu dia menemaniku di syurga kelak..

Med school, no full stop


Bismillahi rahmani raheem.

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and Most Merciful. I pray to Allah for His blessing and mercy upon all of us in this holy month of Ramadhan, the most awaited month alhamdulillah. Ramadhan kareem to everyone!! :)

Verily, there is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad SAW is His Messenger. I seek forgiveness from Allah for all of my shortcomings and weaknesses from the day He created me till the day I die.
‘O Allah, You are the great Forgiver, You love forgiving, so please forgive all of us..

Alhamdulillah, tsumma alhamdulillah. There is no other word or act that can replace the saying of hamdalah continuously and prostration to Allah SWT as a means to express my syukur, gratitude upon all of His blessing now and then.

End with medical school. End with tutorials, bedside teachings, portfolios, case write up, various types of continuous assessments and quizzes.

End with medical school. Life afterwards will be full with ward rounds, on calls, clerking jobs and despatch jobs. All of the cases in the wards are your long cases, and short cases will be seen in the clinics. Exam is everyday, every hour, every minute.

End with medical school. But you still need the anatomy notes from your first year of medicine, those thick textbooks of physiology, microbiology, pathology, medicine and surgery. You still have to refer to your pocket notes (which if you were to pile up all of these pocket notes, it will be thicker than your textbook!)

End with medical school. Very often during the houseman period, you’ll be condemned that you are not reading enough. The usual comment would be-‘Go back and read!’. During that moment you’ll be cursing yourself for not able to memorize it well, and you’ll be wondering how did you pass med school at the first place. Sigh.

Opss. I’m not whining. I’m just throwing my thoughts on how paradox it is when you’ve graduated from med school, the ‘school’ is actually never ends!

Yup, full stop doesn’t exist in medicine..

And this is the beauty of knowledge.
The more you learn, the more you don’t know.
Continuous learning process. The concept that all of us are well informed before we sail to the sea of journey called medicine.

I pray to Allah to make all of us steadfast and strong mentally, physically and emotionally in facing our future in this path. Renew our intention(niat), never stop make doa, and continuously support each other.


InsyaAllah. 


So long, penang!

Dear blog

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Bismillahi Rahmaanir Raheem.

All praises to Allah, The Almighty God, the Creator and the Sustainer. I bear witness that there is no other God worthy of worship except Allah, and Prophet Muhammad SAW is His Messenger.

It has been a while since I wrote my last blog post. I thought I would be able to maintain to post monthly even a short line of sentence but apparently I didn't manage to do so. At the moment my friends and I are fighting in revising everything we could for our final year exams. Yup, for our very last exam in med school insyaAllah.

Many time it came across my mind that I wouldn't be able to finish revising all topic. The workload is very huge and the stuffs to memorize are just too much at this little time. Sometimes I was disturbed by the anxiety and worry of the exam everytime I meet my friends or go to the wards. Everyone looks stress, but we never forget to support each other. After all final med is about passing the exams together...

At this moment, I prayed to Allah to keep us in faith all the time, ease our difficulties, lift up the anxiety and shower us with Allah's Mercy. O' Allah, I am worried if I were too carried away with this dunya. Please help us to make this examinations as part of ibadah, in striving to be a better Muslim. O' Allah, please forgive me for all of my sins and ignorance, guide me with Your Nuur and please do not leave me to myself even for the twinkling of the eye. Ya Rabb, I put my life into Your Hands...

Amin ya Rabbal Alamin.

Open your horizon

I know it's beyond the border.
So you can see better :)
Ouh. But this picture got nothing to do with the issue.


Assalamualaikum wbt

Today's date gonna be exactly 3 months before my graduation day. It's a good time to look back on what I've been through all this while, especially when the SPM results was just released a few days ago. 

So, which pathway are you gonna choose next?

Medicine? Em. 
You sure? No regret?

Since the previous years until now, medicine never fails to attract those SPM high achievers to choose this field as one of their most desired career. Well, at this moment, if you were to ask me whether you should choose medicine or not, I would advice you to think about it again. Have you read enough stories and comments from people in the medical field about what are they facing everyday? Have you been aware of the current condition about houseman, MO's or even the specialists or consultants on the problems they are dealing with currently-the glut of doctors and the ineffective systems?

Well, don't get me wrong. I am not writing this post to criticize your option to join medical field-in fact I'll be one of the people in the system too by end of this year insyaAllah. Medicine has been my passion since I was young. Being given the chance to study medicine is a great gift from Allah. But of course, with hard work and tears before I am able to call myself a medical student. 

My parents didn't ask me to become a doctor. I made the choice on my own. The funny thing is when I was in 4th med, I asked ummi whether she would allow any of my sisters to follow my career pathway. Her answer was expected.
'Takpalah, cukuplah kamu seorang je yang jadi doktor dalam keluarga. Jenuh ummi tengok.' 
Huhu. Thanks to my family for supporting me throughout the journey. I'm almost there!! ^_^

I'm sorry if I've gave you a negative thoughts about medicine. It isn't that bad actually, if you stay being positive at all times. The people around, the workloads, sacrifice and the agony will definitely test your patience. A reminder for you and me: keep having faith in Allah, and be a good Muslim doctor. 

I believe a lot of people has been writing on this issue once SPM results was out. Open your horizon, medicine is not the only available field for your tertiary study. There are a lot more things to learn and experience other than medicine and engineering(these two courses are commonly chosen by the science school students. There were 30 students in my form 5 class back in 2006, and if im not mistaken 16 of us already/will be graduating as a doctors. Waa). If you don't like medicine, please don't do it. If you're forced to do medicine ie by your parents, I hope you'll get some help to persuade them to allow you to follow your interest. Because at the end of the day, it is YOU and the PATIENT who will suffer the outcome.

Talk to your seniors, go to any career talks, refer to internet sources about the courses, universities etc. And last but not least, I highly recommend you to come/tell your juniors/spread the word around about this event (refer picture below). Part of my mind setting and motivation before I started my tertiary education was gained after I attended this program in 2007. 

Excellence is not about having good grades.
It is about having the knowledge and experiences that turns you into better person, and benefiting the ummah.
'Alim mujahid.
