Igal-Igal (^,^)

Assalamualaikum...

Dalam kesibukkan menyediakan barang2 untuk bawa ke Kem Eksplorasi Borneo, ibu sempat juga membawa mimi pergi ke latihan igal-igal dekat rumah BAKAT RAD (BAKAT=badan kebajikan keluarga angkatan tentera yang dianggotai oleh ister2 tentera & RAD=Rejimen Artileri Diraja)

Haa~ apakah igal-igal itu???

Igal-igal adalah sejenis tarian tradisional yang berasal dari Semporna, Sabah. Penat juga dibuatnya apabila perlu melenggok satu badan. Hihi~ tapi seronok bila dah buat. Bila lagi nak belajar tarian Sabah, kan

Auntie2 semua akan mengadakan persembahan. Jadi, mimi ucapkan selamat maju jaya kepada auntie2 semua. Dan terima kasih banyak2 sebab sudi menjadi tutor tarian mimi pula

emm... esok nak pergi ke Kuching. Kem Eksplorasi Borneo kini telah tiba!!! Didoakan agar segala usaha kami mendapat keberkatan dari Allah. InsyaAllah... Betulkan niat... tegarkan usaha... Kuching menanti saya esok... ^^

Wallahualam..

Only Yesterday..

Yesterday

She's 8 months (32 weeks) into pregnancy. Her baby kicks aggresively trying to get her attention. Her first baby. Her hope. She felt the soft 'thump thump' her baby made as she touch her belly and smiled. Just a little longer, little one. Turning her head, she glance at the shelf piled high with baby products in anticipation for the tiny bundle of joy that will join the family. A little longer, my child...

Today

Good morning, baby.... Baby, good morning... Assalamualaikum, baby... Baby...?

Silence...

The 'thump thump' has gone. The hope has gone. The joy has gone. What's left is the bulging belly and the sinking feeling that she's carrying a lifeless mass in her womb. Her child, has gone back to Allah's side...

As a doctor, what would you say? What would you do? How would you react?

The problem is, I don't know... Seeing that lifeless baby on the table, she looked as if she was just taking a nap. Her mouth was slightly opened. Her skin was pure white and hair black though matted with some blood. Her tiny fingers were complete and delicate. I can't believe that she is dead. But the scars of post mortem is glaring proof of her death.

Silently, I cried. I looked at the little girl's father. He turned away. I looked at her grandmother. She returned the look with red rimmed eyes.

I am, insyaAllah, a future doctor. What should I say? What should I do? How should I react?

In the end, I looked away. Silently crying.
Holding her grandmother's hand and said nothing.

Assalamualaikum...

Assalamualaikum wrt...

What would you say to someone who had just finished another exam and was ranting how hard it was? Fearing that they did bad? Thinking of the worst possible outcome? Will you say...

1. Been there, done that, and I survived. You will too. It's not that hard
Sure... everything seems easy after you've passed it.

2. There's loads who failed before. You're not the first. Don't worry
I don't wanna be amongst those who failed no matter how high the absolute risk is.

3. Auuuwwww... dun be sad, honey. You'll do fine.
I know how I did. If i say it's bad, then it's bad. I can judge it myself

4. I understand... It was hard for me too. U know, I got this Q and...
~sigh~ can you just listen for a while..?

5. You did your best. The rest is now in Allah's hands. Have faith
... I know... I know... but... it's easier said than done...

Irony. No wonder I don't know how to console others with all these possiblities in mind. It's easy to come up with a response. But to hold from responding and just listen, that takes practice.

Ya Allah... berikanlah aku kefahaman para nabi, ingatan para rasul, dan ilham para malaikat yg berada di sisi mu... Ya Allah Ya Rahman.. tenangkanlah perasaan hamba-Mu ini. Berkatilah ilmu yang Engkau berikan kepadaku. Kepada Engkaulah aku sembah, dan kepada Engkaulah aku memohon pertolongan. Dan jadikanlah aku dalam kalangan orang yang bersyukur dan sentiasa ingat kepada-Mu...

:: Allah Knows ::

So u see, we are never alone (^,^)
