After 20 days...

originally posted on September 14, 2008

Our Induksi came to an end on the 28th of august...much to my sadness & despair. It was a total fun throughout the short but memorable course. We began with BTN, which was mostly packed with boring discussions & lectures (with exceptions to a very few) plus one-sided comments, baseless personal attacks & "great" attempts to "nurture" our minds & souls (though was almost futile towards me). However Induksi was hundred folds much better & beneficial.

It was held in our own sandakan nursing college, done 8-5 (though 4.30 is the latest we go home:), no unnecessary nite jobs & no wasteful malam mesra.

Positive notes : people's money saved, participants daily chores uninterupted, and with no doubt, the harmony & positive interaction was very well maintained and great friendship bond tied!

In the end: money saved (re-emphasized!), time saved, resources saved, "unhealthy business avoided", objective accomplished. Well done to JKNS.

Nevertheless, it is sad to hear that this may not be done anymore...so, maybe back to reverse of all the above regarding money, time & bla..bla..etc.

Pengembaraan ke Lahad Datu & Daerah Tungku

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 14th SEPTEMBER 2008

Perjalanan pada pg sabtu, 12 Ramadhan bermula jam 9.30 pg. Sungguh nyaman suasana perjalanan dengan ditemani kehijauan bumi sabah yg kian memikat sanubari tiap yg memandang & menghayatinya...Maha Suci Allah.

To cut the story short, we spent a night there & went to Tungku & Felda Sahabat the next day. It is indeed encouraging to see my friends working in areas which are relatively remote, though has good accessibility.

Few matters for me to take home...we should always work for the betterment of mankind; try not to grumble if we are in hardship...there are lots more who are more troubled than us:) Khalifah to ourselves, to our family, to our ummah...Insya Allah.

Ramadhan ends...

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 13TH OCTOBER 2008

This year was my 8th Ramadhan observed in Borneo...(not so long yet,i think:), 3rd time is Sabah but 1st in Sandakan. Nevertheless, it went as one of the most memorable thus far...

Most of iftor I had in our hospital surau, which was really great & happening. Seemed like a mini gathering wth friends & hosp staffs everyday! The food, undeniably more than we could ever expect; heavy meals are served daily, as every depts/wards/units take turn to sponsor daily.

My on calls were pretty bad, but no complaints as i had only 3 in total & the last one was on the ninth day of puasa :) hehe, did manage to make my friends "jelos".

The nights were fairly lively as there are quite a number of masjids in sandakan, so azan calls & recitals in solat were audible in many parts of the town. But one annoying matter was, people's ignorance regarding straightening of safs...really irritating when people make saf as they like!!!

My long standing hope of going out for sahur finally happened in sandakan...twice i went out wth my sandakan-mates (hakul,razi,afiq&razman) to njoy roti naan& tandoori in Hameed curry house.

But 1 question wic must keep all of us in a worrisome state...would our ibadah be accepted by The All-Mighty? Insya Allah...that is our utmost hope & may Allah allow us to meet & indulge into many Ramadhan to come.

Dumb and Cocky...a perfect combination for disaster

THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 20TH DECEMBER 2008 ON MY PREVIOUS BLOG

Today was scheduled to begin as any of my non on-call weekends...ward rounds...what else.?

Nevertheless, I was so spirited that I left house at 7am. Then something "unscheduled" happened as I was looking for a parking space in that stupid hospital (which does not reserve car parks for MOs)...I bang into this fella's car as I reversed..it was a soft touch & only minimally affected the paint on his car. But however, this human being was a cocky one (aka "kerek")..blaming me repeatedly despite my apology & willingness to pay for that small harmless 'scratch'. He was so anxious & indecisive. And guess what...he is a policeman..(no wonder so damn dumb & arrogant..look at our police head & the whole force...suites well to be called dirty,incompetent,untrustworthy + DUMB (opposite of their so called motto). THIS IS NOT A BLANKET STATEMENT...but does reflect the force as a whole & more than half of their personnels DEFINITELY!

Back to my story, after about 20 mins of indecisiveness, he agreed & told me will get his wife(nurse in HDOK) to contact me. Just look at it, how a human can be so cocky, dumb & intolerant..yet they call themselves HUMANS.

Bygones be bygones..at least today got something on in hospital..Family Day. Enjoyed 'tebar roti canai' part:)

Truely Democratic

THIS IS A POST FROM MY PREVIOUS BLOG. ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 5TH FEB 2009

Ever wondered to what extent humans would go to get what they desire?UNLIMITED!

The political scenario in Perak at the moment is another classical example of BN-defined democracy:) Some of the features are:

1. People's voice is something that can be disregarded...of no value.
2. Money & wealth can be used by all means to achieve their political power.
3. Police, judiciary etc. are tools to achieve their political status & to belittle Rakyat.

Any conscious mind would be able to comprehend the misdeeds that the "new govt" has done to gain power in Perak. Our conscience would not cheat...but we do sometimes try to cheat our conscience:)

The story goes...2 idiotic,untrustyworth,probably sex-maniac PR ADUNs who are facing bribery charges + 1 nyonya of PR, suddenly wants to defect PR and become "BN-friendly" independent. Another low-class or better said, no-class ADUN jumped ship again only after less than 2 weeks being in a new ship!

So that gives BN the so-called majority to form govt. Was this mandate given by the Rakyat? Come on, put aside our political inclination & think of this matter as a neutral human being! IS THIS DEMOCRACY? This is TOTALLY a BETRAYAL to the Rakyat! What is the point of holding elections, than they jump parties "in the name of stability" but instead for the sake of MONEY?

This is rubbish, uncivilised, develish democracy!

Then comes our monarch...whom ascendents were "very intelligent" in selling our lands..now again making decision which is clearly AGAINST the Rakyat's interest.

These are what that would happen if we place any incapable, incompetent, untrustworthy person by the roadside at helm. If we select a leader/rep...find one who has the charisma, leads by example.

The end of the day...BIG DEFEAT TO DEMOCRACY IN MALAYSIA & my pity fellow countrymen.

The POLITICKING & CRAZE for power among politicians goes on & the Rakyat remains status quo. RAKYAT ...0 POLITICIANS ...1

oLE mALAYSIA!
