salam aidil adha!!!

arafah day's fab!...lousy dat i woke up kinda late...but the iftor was tremendous!
my landlord invited us over n another few of ustz maha's student!!!...unfortunately i didn't bring my camera...nicky brought it tho...i'll upload our pic nex~...the tremendous thing was the food!...i never tasted egyptian food better than just now!...i mean, i never tot i'd like em dis much!

anyway...stop about the food...(million credits to ustz maha tho)

i have a couple of stories i gain from "bengkel korban"

story one from ust hairulnizam...
his sheikh, sheikh yusri who is also a surgeon had an experience about a women's abdominal pain...
this women presented herself with unexplained abdominal pain and the surgeon's decided to just operate on her...but sheikh yusri here managed to solve this problem without surgery...or even as simple as painkiller...he, apparently dug out the main core of this problem...

this women told him that she used to perform slaughtering every eid...but since a couple of years ago she stopped...so sheikh yusri figured out that it might help if she could ask her son to perform one slaughtering for her...miraculously, she got well!...without even a tap...hehe, well...the lesson here is...

when we are used to doing sumthing good and suddenly stop it, Allah'll test us to remind us that we've stooped doing something great and how amazing his reward would be if we continued!....

story two...from kak pipah...

there was two leaves hanging on a branch...one day, a worm came across them...the worm asked the first leaf...:may i eat you please...i am very hungry!"..."ofcourse not!" the first leaf answered..."huhu...", the worm moved to the second leaf..."may i eat you please...i am very hungry!"...pitying the worm, the leaf agreed...and so it was nibbled a bit...

as time pass by, the leaves turns brown and finally both of them fell in autumn!...

the moral of this story here...the first leaf even uphelding its pristine looks by prohibiting the worm eating it up still falls down and the second leaf, at least get to contribute~...

get it?...salam aidil adha!

someone's watching over me

Found myself today

Oh I found myself and ran away

Something pulled me back

The voice of reason I forgot I had

All I know is you're not here to say

What you always used to say

But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light

And it's shining on my destiny

Shining all the time

And I wont be afraid

To follow everywhere it's taking me

All I know is yesterday is gone

And right now I belong

To this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say

and it doesn't matter how long it takes

Believe in yourself and you'll fly high

And it only matters how true you are

Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

That I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even when it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

That someone's watching over

Someone's watching over

Someone's watching over me

hillary duff's song...sometimes i really need motivations...though i can get it from other sources...but this one really touches my heart...thnx to those yg tegor n bagi semangat!!!

"people often say that motivation doesn't last. well, neither does "bathing"...that's why we recommend it everyday!"

since 'we' - yg berkenaan- live in four season countries...evryday bath isn't that necessary is it?...so am changing it to "drinking"

a glass of water~

wut's the first thing that crosses your mind when you wake up in the morning?...:D

well, for me...it is accustomed to me that evry morning, the minute we regain our consciousness we say alhamdulillah...(there is a du'a but these reciting stuff is usually very difficult for me to get it out unless am in that situation right now...huhu...but, it means alhamdulillah)...

but today, i woke up with thirst scorching my throat...n very weirdly, last night i've prepared a mug of plain water beside my bed...urm...did i know i was gonna wake up thirsty?...no idea...but, by drinking that mug of water the moment i was alert struck something in my head...

this was a routine to me before...
everymorning i would drink a glass of plain...y?...because it was indicated...somebody, centuries ago told me about this...and i tried it n found out it helps me get through my days easier...especially last year!!! (3rd year in kasr el-ainy medical faculty is undeniably **********)...

what's the benefit of drinking a glass of water the minute you woke up?
plenty i guess...read it out yourself~

and there are more...just google it up...:D

holidays are actually a disease to me~...huhu, i forgot my routine habit here because of it...and i've acquired a new destructive one = watching movies...urgh!!!...

advising myself for a better future~...

(if i'm not mistaken, there's one of our prophet's (s.a.w) hadith about drinking a glass of water in the morning right?...am not sure, but whoever knows it...i kindly ask if you could share it wif me~...)

can't figure a proper title...just...read~

i jz had my smart circle yesterday...well, i actually meant to write down the requirements of life my dad told me two summer's ago...coincidently, it correlates with what a friend of mine said about in that SC...

we were told to write down our unsolved 'huge' problem in life (which were several for me) and she told us some very motivational n inspiring thoughts...

if we have a problem...don't blame it on your surrounding, change yourself!...(bangau oh bangau~)...well, one of my problem is, i'm really not good in socializing~...well, i do talk with people...but when the crowd grew or when people are not talking about something i am interested in...i tend to distant myself...really it is up to my own will if i want to butt in or not...so, i am so very sorry if i appear quiet or distant from you guys...

therefore, this is my solution...blogging-

is this really socializing?...well, it is in my book anyway...sometimes i do have some opinions to share...but am really not good in explaining it out loud...writing seems much more preferable to me...oopss,this is too much about me already and we're almost deviating from my early intention...

so,the connection btwn 'problem solving' and my dad's 'life's requirements' is...one of the life's requirement is socializing-

it's shorten into : SPIES...this is really famous and well known right?

but i wanna share it anyway, because...without one of these, your life will feel a bit unbalanced....before people use to quote on “intelligent quotation”…your IQ!...when I came enter high school, we debated a lot between IQ n EQ (emotion quotion)…which is more important?...but actually, you need all…

Spiritual

Physical

Intelligent

Emotion

Social

Every soul living in this world needs an aim to continue life, and you need a calm mind to get yourself a proper goal…spiritually…with this it means believing in God existence and succumb to it. Alhamdulillah, I assume each muslim in this world knows what their aim in life is right? preparing for hereafter…I really hope i am preparing myself~

to run for your goal you need physical strength to be able to move…meaning stay healthy!... when I am sick, usually almost all my ‘day plans’ suddenly destroyed, postponed…I don’t fancy that, but acquiring sickness is a challenge so…

you need intelligence to be able to solve upcoming problems…don’t be dumb and let the illness eat you up!...seek a way to cure yourself!...not only for your illness problem, any other challenges and obstacles in this life…you need to work your brain to get through it!...being dumb just makes you vulnerable~

your emotion needs to be stable so that you can be proactive instead of reactive…there’s this story farhana told us in our SC about Stephen king’s covey's wife, Sandra n his son…

one day, he came home and his son came running~

“daddy…I am a hardworking person!”...uhuh?...so he asked his wife, what happened actually?...so, she told him the incindent…

she came home tired from work that day and found out the house was in a mess!...water spilled everywhere…urgh!!! (frustrating…I can imagine that)…but, she hold up her anger and ask her son softly…

“why did you do this?”…

her son said… “I was trying to help you mom…to wash the dishes!”…

“urm…so, why did it become like this?”…

“I can’t reach the sink, so I did it here instead…” proudly her son answered…

uhuh…so she replied “okey, next time you wanna help me, we can get you a stand so you can reach the sink, you are a hardworking boy!”…and her son felt contented…

well, the idea I wanna convey is, sandra here is being proactive…what would’ve happened if she reacts to the situation and scolded her son? (being reactive)...i bet, he’ll be hurt emotionally and assume that- helping your mom’ll just make her mad at you!...so… “as-Sobru min al-Iman”

and finally…you can never work alone~…living means socializing…even if you don’t have any relatives or friends ( I really doubt I can find anyone like this) you need people to help you living...socialize! for example…

you need a landlord to rent or buy a house,

you need sellers to buy your food n drinks,

you need doctors (ehem2…hehe) when you fall sick…

you need patients to work on if you are a doctor…

and so the list goes on…you just can’t live alone!...even in an unpopulated jungle, you still need the trees and animals and water~…

oh my god…this is long!...well, it compensated my brief pause of entries….hehe

anyway, hope you get the message here…I’m dedicating this to myself truly…and for everybody else too…

p/s: don't be a puppet! n i know this is boring...thnx for reading!

just know!

in one of my dinner....two summers ago...on my first visit home after two years staying in egypt, i had a chat with my dad...(well we usually chat in the dining room at night...n i really miss those moments...)

my dad told me about stages of learning...i can't exactly remember how our conversation end up in this topic but anyway...i think it's a very useful information as a student...(n we have to learn our whole life don't we?)

so, stages of learning starts as early as our infant years....but, academically speaking...i'll start with school...

#1...know

in primary school we are tought to recognize stuffs...from alphabets and numbers to planets and kingdoms...these are surface knowledge...we can get it from reading...basically, we learn the general knowledge...

#2...understand

as we proceed to the secondary school, we start to understand our subjects...do experiments, compare results, argue and ask ..."why"!...this is a very critical stage in learning, because if we misunderstood our knowledge...the steps after this may not continue or end up wrong...

#3...apply

to enter a university, we have to fill in the application form right?...y?...because at this level, we are learning how to apply our knowledge...hehe...and here we got our degree!...yeay!!!!this is usually where people commonly stops their learning process...after they have mastered their skills in applying whatever they've learned...they start work (even work requires us to fill up the application form) and live a happy life with their growing family~...

but!!!...

there are those who continues...we go into

#4...analyze and #5...synthesis

analyzing and synthesising...this usually apply to those who work in RnD section...which is, research and development...we study and analyze the old product for defect and improvement, and we synthesize a new product that is usually better...this step help human kind to develop and upgrade our civilization...we need to become master to achieve this level~

finally, to get to the final step, we need to be a specialist...

#6...evaluate

or also known as the "consultant"...to whom we refer if we have a problem and any confusion that needs confirmation...to be able to get to this stage, we need to study every single minute aspect till the recent findings regarding our field...and since knowledge expand as time passes by, a specialist needs to constantly update himself too...

so, at last...we can never stop learning...hehe

well, actually if am not mistaken, there were 7 stages...but after i crammed my memory...i can just rmmbr 6 of them...but never mind, i'll ask my dad again for this...but the main point i'd like to deliver here is,

to say we "know" about etc...etc... means we are just at the first level of that knowledge...

so, is it permissable for us to debate informations if we just knew?

and, at which level are we actually in the field we engage ourselves in?

these stages are just to give a rough idea of our studying process...we need parameters to achieve our goals ryte?...or not we might end up lost and satisfied being where we are~...

hope this clears our path infront of us a bit~...

thnx ayah!...u r my best motivator!!!

(i admit i only just "know" this...)...:p
