Redha dengan kematian

Assalamualaikum...

Setiap orang mula dengan kehidupan, dan diakhiri dengan kematian.
Sama ada kita suka atau tak, sedar atau tak, mesti ada yang akan mati di sekeliling kita.
Hari ni dia mungkin John Doe yang kita tak tahu, Jane Doe yang kita kenal dia atas sekadar nama.
Kita bukak paper, baca kisah si polan accident, dan arwah ditempat kejadian, meninggalkan 7 anak kecil. kita kata, kasihannya....
Tak pun, seperti kisah yang masih baru, 6 orang mati akibat leptospirosis dan meliodosis selepas menolong dalam usaha menyelamatkan mangsa lemas. Ajal tu kepastian, cara itu hanya penyebab.

Selalu susah kita nak terima hakikat kematian. Ya lah, selalunya orang tu dah biasa ada depan mata, tiba-tiba kita tak akan nampak dia satu jangka masa yang sangat lama. Selalu terbiasa dengar gelak tawa dia, terbiasa makan air tangan dia, terboasa ada yang menyambut saat kita pulang, terbiasa ada yang akan ketawakan baju kita yang senget, kutuk style kasut yang pelik, tiba-tiba semua itu lesap.

Kita akan terdiam, mencari bahagian yang hilang, dan tatkala diingatkan, kita akan sedih, dan menangis, mengeluh mengenangkan kenapa mesti Allah ambil orang yang kita sayang?

MATI ITU PASTI

tak ada cara yang lebih baik untuk menerima kenyataan,selain dari mengenal hakikat kematian itu sendiri.

Kematian itu bukan di tangan penyebabnya, juga bukan di tangan kita.

Siapa yang menentukan hidup mati seseorang? Dialah Allah. Kenapa Dia mematikan makhluk? Kerana Dia yang berhak.
 rujuk the ultimate survival guide for life and afterlife which is Quran. Pandangan saya, masyakarat Islam rata-rata memiliki sifat redha dengan kematian lebih dari kaum yang tak beragama Islam. Kalau kes-kes di hospital, keluarga yang beragama Islam lebih mudah untuk terima, dan let go berbanding dengan agama lain.
Tapi tak juga, ada seorang pakcik India yang saya jumpa, dia kata dia tak kisah mati. (dia ada kanser otak) dia kata dalam agama dia ada bagitau jugak, mati tu pindah alam ja. Bagi yang islam, mati tu adalah satu benda yang sangat scary mengingatkan hari pertama di alam kubur, tak sempat orientasi dah kena bantai malaikat akibat dosa-dosa lalu.

Siapa yang tak sedih, kalau atuk saudara, sahabat handai, ahli keluarga dijemput pergi?
Saya juga pernah menangis berhari-hari mengingatkan yang tiada. Padahal sewaktu ada, mereka macam ada tak ada. tak kisah.
Perangai manusia memang suka , hendakkan apa yang tiada.
Kawan ada playstation, nak jugak. Tapi bila ada taklah layan sangat.
nak DSLR sangat-sangat, dah ada campak merata.. contoh je lah ye

Novel Cabul: Hilangnya Malu Dalam Masyarakat

Novel cabul adalah novel yang bersifat erotik, menggambarkan perlakuan seks samada dari awal permulaan ataupun semasa proses;  bersifat tidak perlu dan tidak akan mencacatkan jalan cerita jika ia tiada; ditulis hanyalah untuk menarik perhatian pembaca

Itu adalah definisi saya sendiri, yang saya adapt setelah membaca beberapa artikel.

Menariknya isu novel cabul ni

1.  Kebanyakan penulis novel sebegini adalah wanita, samada berkahwin atau tidak (tiada statistik
2.  Genre kahwin kontrak/kahwin paksa meng'halal'kan adegan sebegini ditulis kerana mereka sudah   berkahwin. berlainan dengan cerita cinta bujang di mana bersentuhan tangan adalah taboo.
3. Novel sebegini, LARIS di pasaran

Cerita di asrama: mula-mula kenal novel

Selaku budak asrama, novel adalah hiburan jiwa. saya kurang gemar akan siri tv, saya memilih komik dan novel sebagai bahan hiburan.

Zaman saya bersekolah menengah dulu, saya diperkenalkan novel oleh rakan-rakan seasrama. Saya menyambutnya baik, saya adapt sebagai hobi. Kemudian bila pulang, rupanya di rumah jugak ada koleksi novel-novel milik mama. Bila saya pulang ke kampung, juga ada koleksi novel milik paksu dan arwah pakndak. Suka kami berkongsi hobi, mama, abang, dan saya, kemudian diwarisi adik perempuan bongsu, dikongsi dengan keluarga maklang, semua sukakan novel.

Tiap bulan saya pasti akan beli novel, pada waktu itu novel alaf 21 dan novel ahadiat akashah. Saya seorang yang cermat, dan pernah beberapa kali menangis bila novel saya lusuh/berbekas tanda bila dipinjamkan pada kawan sampaikan ada yang mengutuk saya cerewet.

mungkin ada adegan novel cabul, saya tak ingat

Penulis kegemaran saya pada waktu itu, (dan kini juga) adalah Norhayati berahim, Noorsuraya, Anis suraya, Aleya aneesa, Zuraidah othman, Sharifah Abu Salem dan adalagi, saya lupa. Saya akui novel Damya Hanna sangat tiptop waktu itu. Norhayati berahim lebih suka bawakan watak yang matang berbanding novel kegilaan rakan asrama saya iaitu siri kembar yonna yonni hasil karya arwah Liyana Afiera Malik. Oh, Ahadiat Akashah juga jadi siulan peminat novel. Endingnya selalu tergantung, abrupt or unexpected. Waktu zaman itu, genre kesukaan kami yang muda remaja ni, tentulah genre cinta. Kemudian dunia pernovelan dilanda tsunami ramlee awang murshid untuk peminat genre islami mereka bersiul nama ustazah fatimah syarha dan hilal asyraf. Mungkin mereka adalah pioneer disamping Habiburrahman El Shirazy, novel yang keluar selepas itu berlandaskan mesej islamik pulak.

Zaman matrikulasi
Di matrikulasi, nama Hlovate jadi sebutan. Jemari Seni jadi pilihan orang-orang yang bosan dengan genre dan cerita yang lebih kurang sama. Novel Hlovate dikatakan lebih dekat di hati.Ia tak terlalu berat, dan penuh dengan pengisian rohani.

Selepas zaman matrikulasi, saya kurang layan novel. Hobi saya telah diambil alih adik. Saya perhatikan waktu itu banyak novel, maaf saya gelarkan sebagai 'novel gedik'. Adegan romantik keterlaluan, watak lelaki perempuan bergaduh ala kanak-kanak. Gunakan nama gelaran bila bergaduh, i'll be like umur berapa ni?
Saya pasti remaja seusia adik saya (waktu tu beliau sekolah menengah) akan rasa novel sebegini catchy, dan kena dengan jiwa. Tidak kena dengan jiwa saya. Novel chick lit melayu saya baca hanyalah Plain Jane oleh Nurul Syahida (dan saya suka)

Zaman Universiti : Gilakan Jaja & Din

Sekali sekala di universiti, saya masih membaca novel. Saya borong novel tiap kali pesta buku, bacanya kemudian. Saya pegang kata mama, buku adalah aset. Esok-esok kita nak baca balik. Waktu ni saya berkongsi hobi dengan coursemate, Adlin dan Fiqa. Dan Fiqa kenalkan saya dengan istilah novel cabul. Waktu ni penerbit novel dah banyak, ada kakinovel, cesb, alaf21, jemari seni, nb kara, PTS dan banyak lagi.

Zaman ini, zaman saya berkenalan dengan dunia dakwah dan tarbiyah. Jadi novel jaja & din jadi kegemaran saya. Waktu itu, rasanya asyik bermimpi nak kan suami ustaz (sekarang saya dah dewasa, tidaklah beria seperti dulu. *batuk.) Saya membeli novel novel yang bukan genre kebiasaan, kerana saya mencari kelainan. Saya sudah bosan membaca cerita cinta gedik, saya mahukan yang matang. Jadi karya noorhayati berahim masih jadi pilihan, di samping noorsuraya, imaen dan hlovate. saya memilih novel dari jemari seni. Dalam masa yang sama, adik mula mengumpul novel gedik yang popular di pasaran.(nanti saya nak baca jugak novel yang saya kata gedik, kadangkala judgement dipengaruhi faktor-faktor lain seperti masa, mood dan prinsip ketika itu) 

Oh, dalam waktu zaman saya di universiti, banyak novel indie dikeluarkan. Yang saya ingat, novel-novel PIXI. saya belum berkesempatan nak memiliki sebuahpun. Mudahan saya berpeluang membacanya. Tak kenal maka tak cinta. Novel indie digambarkan sebagai novel yang tidak tipikal seperti lambakan novel jiwang, ia lebih keras, dan adakalanya x-rated juga. sepertimana saya nyatakan di atas, saya belum pun pernah melihat sebarang novel pixi ni, so i reserve my comments for later.

Saya lebih gemar novel lama, novel dari koleksi zaman mama yang menceritakan susah payah hidup. Teringat novel Diari Bonda oleh Rohani Din kegilaan abang, sarat dengan mesej 'hidup ini susah, tapi bukan sekadar untuk ditangisi. Kalau kita kenal erti syukur, kita akan kenal bahagia.' Novel Generasi Yang Hilang oleh Abdul Rahim Awang yang saya baca di umur belasan tahun, saya masih ingat pengajarannya. "bermula dari rokok, satu generasi punah.' Agaknya generasi kini kurang kenal erti susah payah, mereka akan menangis pada nikah paksa dan cercaan mak mentua, bukan pada kisah sedih ibu mencari wang demi sesuap nasi atau malu kakak mengemis beras di rumah saudara. Mungkin kesusahan dah jadi tidak releven. Mungkin.

Novel cabul bukan tidak pernah wujud dulu, novel Ma Lee Chuswan, Black Widow karya Raja Azmi juga sedikit liar, tapi twist ceritanya menarik. Novel Norhayati Berahim juga ada adegan nakal. Cuma sekarang ia sangat banyak. Sangat banyak. Dalam satu novel, ia boleh dibaca saban muka. Dan seolah-olah itu bacaan masyarakat kita. Kita sendiri tak pernah berbicara tentang seks dengan adik kita berusia belasan tahu, apa agaknya telahan mereka? Skip sebab malu? Paham-paham sendiri? Atau "eleh kau jangan innocent sangat boleh tak?"

Novel yang bagus, akan memberikan impak.
Novel yang bagus, akan menggambar penyelesaian kepada sesuatu masalah.
Novel yang bagus, akan beri lebih iktibar dalam hiburan.
Novel yang bagus, evergreen, kekal sepanjang zaman.

Bacaan yang bagus , Darah Muda dan karya Patuh Syariah, Azzah AR

Kisah Pak Cik Teksi, 'Anak Dah Lupa Bapak'

Satu hari, naik la teksi, ke KL Central. Keluar pagi-pagi buta, Alhamdulillah sorang pakcik Islam ada di jalan, so naiklah dengan dia.Dalam kereta, sempat dia bercerita, pasal anak dara dia.

"anak saya, waktu belajar, susah-susah dulu selalulah telefon. Mintak duit. Mintak belikan kereta. Sekarang dah kerja dah, alhamdulillah.. Tapi, nak telefon pun susah." Nampak terkilan seorang ayah di muka pakcik tu. Tak mahu jadi tukang tambah kuah, saya jawablah.

"Dia sibuk kot pakcik. Dah kerja la katakan.. Mesti dia telefon isteri pakcik. Selalu anak-anak macam tu."

"Sibuk apanya, sms, telefon boyfriend boleh.Takkan telefon bapak tak boleh? Dulu telefon mintak topup, boleh pulak."

Saya lihat mukanya sedih. Macam mana tau? Orang jauh hati, sedih ni, matanya layu. Pandangannya kosong dan dia seolah termenung. Mata tak bercahaya. Poor eye contact. Tu tips macam mana saya tau orang tu tengah ada masalah.

Saya ketawa kecil, cuba berkongsi bebelan mak-mak sedunia dengan harapan dia ketawa.

"alah samalah saya, topup mintak kat mak abah, gunanya bukan nak contact depa pun. orang muda camtulah kan pakcik. Sama ja saya ni. hehe"

pakcik tu ikut gelak, dalam hati saya doakan anak dara dia akan kerap telefon.Ingat, telefon tanya khabar mak, tak kira sebagai telefon ayah. Telefonlah asing-asing. Sama juga kalau nak hulur wang belanja esok-esok..


*Naik teksi dalam perjalanan nak menjual xperia tx di kl central. manic.

Tips on Surviving Your Professional Exam (Clinical)

Salam a'laik.

Its been awhile isn't it? For quickie, Alhamdulillah i've passed my MBBS this April.

Well, this post is merely dedicated to my fellow juniors, who are going for the next PRO Exam 2014. Everybody in MBBS know that this exam is the final, which decides whether you can be a doctor sooner or later.

Being a doctor sooner doesn't mean that it is the best, but it is definitely what everybody hopes for. We think medical school is hellish, so lets  end it soon! Isn't t? In the contrary, i am scared to end the title as a 'student' and further up my career into real one. Not merely just dream anymore.  Little that we think, the world ahead is much more brutal and needy.

So this post is about learning issues, what i hope i would done earlier as a 5th year/final student. I was going to write it in study week actually, but i need to pass first, for my tips to be a bit, credible. And this tips are about SURVIVING, or PASSING. so if u want tips for excellence, better contact fellow seniors who pass with an A. :)

So let go straight to the tips. it gonna be lame, I've heard it repeatedly, but hey, here lies the truth.

1. Do notes. NOTES NOTES NOTES. Precise but concise.
Nope, i don't ask you to stay up and write your own books. Do short note, neatly and keep it separate with your jot-down note during bedside to avoid mess.

 Exam questions, the long case or short case will be about, what the disease is? (definition. always started with for example X is a clinical syndrome/x-linked/clinical condition/etc. it is like an opening statement.) how it occurred? (pathophysiology) To whom? What age? What risk factors? (bit epidemiology) How it manifest? (sign and symptoms), how to investigate? (all the test, and what lies behind it? For example Why do CRP? Why check C4/C3? How anemia of this and that look on blood film? etc) how to manage (divide the management well into acute, start with ABC, or DABC, and chronic) know your drugs, and if it is surgical, get a glimpse of how it is done,where, under GA? local?Look up for youtube videos.

I dont know how to stress to you how it'll become SUPERHANDY in your final. You'll not have enough time to look back into your textbook, and by organizing your note this way, it'll make your life hell lot easier. IT IS SUPER HANDY.

Im suggesting to choose a book as your companion for each subject, and learn about the book as if you are learning about your future imam/makmum. Lol. what i am saying is familiarize with the book. Know it so well that you'll know what pageto turn when you need to read something.

Im going to suggest you some good books, (it isn't necessary anyway). Membantu memahamkan.

• The yellow xpress short case book.
• The yellow books on Excellence clinical exam of medicine, and for surgery and peadiatrics. most essential questions are listed already.
• Surgical express or i called it mini bailey
•  Murtagh (good book for differentials)
• Peadiatric protocol 

2. Know your physical examination. ALL OF IT.
Know the basic, list down 5 causes. Jot it in your notebook. The question will be like "what is rhonci?" "at what phase you heard it?" what are the condition produces rhonchi? any other condition? more? what else?" Examiners DIG basic questions.

Do it so well, as our lecturer said, let it be your reflect. If you are not good, do it over and over again with a friend who is good. If you have performance anxiety, please  find a way to overcome it.

I have performance anxiety, a bit of sociophobia when it comes to performing PE in front of my colleagues and doctors. I HATE IT. And i do nothing, nothing to improve myself and at the very end im struggling. It hurts me a lot more that i think it could. You'll think that u are inadequate, you'll be inferior to others and your self esteem is nowhere to be found. ANd im telling you to CHANGE early.

3. Organise your presenting skills.
Start scribbling in order when clerking patient. Demographic data first, the chief complain. As u go along you'll find out that different specialty requires slightly different style of presenting the cases. For example in medicine you'll need to put risk factor known/proven related to case in the very beginning otherwise you'll irritate the examiner. Remember the 4Cs as Dr Kamariah taught, Chief Complain,Causes, Complication, Current Condition

The vital keys in history is, why patient come to the hospital aka the chief complain.
What did he experiences? (and inserting some relevant negative finding as well. Plus complication. It is simple. if a person who regularly bleed, you might wanna ask any risk factor, or anything that may contribute to that like coagulopathy or any NSAIDS abuse?Did he lose weight? As a complication, did he had anemia? Since admission how is he doing? Worse or better?)

Another example would be in case of fits, you wanna rule out space occupying lesion, any electrolyte imbalance, so what question should u ask? Post fits, as a complication, what u should ask? 

The way you present in 5th year is slightly different in 4th year. History is obtained in order to sort out what you think did patient had? And you had to show that you are actually thinking, not casually asking for the sake of completion. Next, how do you confirm?

Chronic case like SLE, RA, nephrotic syndrome, etc requires slightly different style of presenting. Either it is by chronological or by current complain, u need to know what is the best way to tell your examiner what you think your patient had.

Learn to avoid using short terms. PE for pulmonary embolism or pre-eclampsia?

4. Study
Either in groups or alone, you choose.

I survived, alhamdulillah, being alone. I had the helps from my friends, of course. It speeds things up and you'll need less energy to think and less time consuming as well. Imagine, at that time you'll need to study for ortho, surgery, medicine, psychiatry, some short posting special cases as well, O&G, peadiatrics and so on. The something come up like "what are the drugs that will improve the prognosis in heart failure?" it easier to ask friends, rather than to search from the jungles of books and note you had in front of you.

Read CPGs, malaysian CPG, ad GOLD for TB, or GINA for asthma. Ask the lecturer what is appropriate. CPG published>5 years is considered old and invalid, Dr Ng once said.

5. Kita Merancang, Allah yang menentukan.
Dean always said, it'll be the most unfair exam ever. and im telling that it is ****** TRUE. Truth hurts to some. You'll find that some of your colleagues got complicated cases, some got simpler one. Lets not envy each other. Whether you'll pass at that time, it has been decided by God. You do your job, and let your heart be at ease.

I find it helpful to read seniors' note on their experiences during PRO, and the questions are about the same.

Personally, and honestly i think that PRO Exam wasn't that hard. It is the feeling of anxiety and worry that make your life miserable. I think questions during bedside are harder. IM DEAD SERIOUS. lol they asked you basic questions. Inhale, clear up your mind and answer what you know.

Build good relationship with your God, family, teachers and friends. Prayers make life smoother.

1 year, it wouldn't be that much of time. it'll pass before your eyes. So be prepared guys.

Any other questions please put in comment section, i would love to entertain questions if any. Thanks for reading.
