Is it okay?

Is it okay

for me to sit here

wasting my time

on worthless stuffs

waiting to get amused

to fill some empty holes

Is it okay

for me to think

that breaking promises

is considered legal

just because

i am depressed

Is it okay

for me to say

that today its okay

when i'm not sure

will there be tomorrow

Is it okay

for me to keep on

when all i gain

is what i hate

Is it okay

for me to follow

what i always prevent

just because

they are doing it

Is it okay

if i say it out loud

what i feel

because then they will

surely got hurt

Is it okay

for me to blame

others for it

when i'm alone

digging a deadly grave

Is it okay

that if i do something

i dont include

them in my scheme

at the end of day

considered selfish

Is it okay

if i did it

and all i gain

is just their hate

and their annoyance

Is it okay

for me to think

what will happen to them

if i try to change it

when i'm alone

is not in their head

Is it okay

for me....?

does it matter if its okay to them....?

when does a principle got broken...?

when does the strong gets weaken...?

Its not okay

Its not okay

So stand up

and make it okay again.....

Masalah Rotation Posting Orthopedics!!

Attention

Assalamualaikum

Kepada budak-budak ortho, untuk pengetahuan kalian, rotation kita pelik sikit.Kita ada, 8 group, 8 rotation, and walaupun ada 8 week tapi memandangkan 1st and 2nd week tu duk rotation yg sama,maknanya kita cuma ada 7 kali rotation. Jadi sekarang ni da jadi masalah,sebab kalo kita ikutkan rotation tu maknanya, setiap group akan termiss 1 rotation. I dont know bout u guys,tapi I mmg xnk miss mana-mana rotation.

Untuk mengatasi masalah itu ada beberapa choice

1. Minggu 1st and 2nd tu x sepatutnya berada dalam rotation yg sama,sepatutnya kena gerak kepada rotation seterusnya bila da masuk week 2...tapi benda da jadik,tu la,kitaorang pun satu,awal2 xnk cek masalah ne.skarang benda da jadi terpaksa la fikir jalan lain.
2. bubarkan group Onco,(group aku lak tu)-->malangnya benda ni kena wat awal-awal,sekarang ni group onco tu mmg wujud,jadi kalo dibubarkan,kitaorg masuk group lain,ada kemungkinan ahli2 group onco ne akan miss 1 rotation jugak.mmg la budak lain smua fair la dapat smua rotation tp x fair bagi kitaorang budak onco
3. team athro-onco terus bergabung sampai bebila-->x boleh gak,sebab orang lain dapat merasa grup kecik,kitaorang sentiasa group besar,patient bkn bnyk pun
4. choice terakhir adalah dengan membahagikan pertindihan tu kepada group2 lain gak.Walaupun ada group yg mungkin tertindih sekali je,ada yang kena tindih 3 kali,tapi nak wat camne,serius wei,aku da try susun 4-5 kali,jadual ne yang terakhir aku berjaya buat. Sesiapa yang rasa de boleh alter,sila sila,sangat-sangat dialu-alukan...

Disebabkan choice ke-4 tu yg possible and fair la jgk compare dgn choice lain,so harap students ortho semua  faham kenapa ini semua terjadi...Terima je la seadanya,tanpa kita yang merasakan kesilapan ini,orang lain x dpt nak perbaiki...

Team 1 adalah team rotation pertama mereka merupakan rehab.Begitu lah seterusnya, bagi team 6,ini team first rotation onco,dan team 7 adalah team yg first rotation arthro.Tolong ambil tahu korang team nombor berapa.

Take note:
sapa yg masuk team onco-arthro,rotation ne mmg bergabung sebab onco tak banyak patient n Ms Hazla (Specialist onco) pun mmg akan ikut ward round arthro.Klinik Onco cuma ada pada hari selasa shj, petang.(x silap la)

Tip 6 : Facing Not So Good Result

Facing Not So Good Result (short form : NSGR)

Usually this is where the major problem is. Even before the result were out, some of us had already anticipated to get a NSGR. These are not healthy of course, but let’s not talk about that.

Most of the time, we say we can “feel” that our result would be NSG. But at the same time we haven’t prepare ourselves for this. That’s the big problem. When the result is really out, in our heart we can say “Oh shoots! I knew it…” some part of us may feel like “oh well, at least I have anticipated this, so I am not so crushed” well I say, oh really? I have been in that place, trust me, getting something bad that had been anticipated is not relieving at all. Even how much we anticipated it, its not a positive feeling when our initial feeling is not positive at all.

But what about those who never anticipate having a NSGR but it turns out the other way around. Most people would be very surprised and therefore will be very socked and therefore will be very depressed…. That’s a lot of “very”. Well, I have to say, yeah, it could be… But it could be different. This is how I found a way to get over my NSGR.

FYI, I NEVER anticipated to have to resit O&G in fact, I am VERY confident that I will pass. Ask Rahmah my housemate, she’ll testify to that statement :D… Luckily, by the time I receive the NSG news, I had already master some art of positive thinking skill.

The news about my result was sent to me in a form of a handphone call when I was on my way back home. It was Rahmah (as usual, hehe…), when she told me that I have to resit 1 posting, I ask, her “was it O&G”. Of course, even though I did not anticipate to have NSGR for O&G it was very unlikely to be surgery posting (surgery was the best 3^rd year posting for me). She said, yes it was O&G. I don’t know why, but something in my heart, well actually I’m quite certain its something from the subconscious mind, a message from Allah, tell me to say ; “Alhamdulillah”. So I did, I say it, even though I don’t deny I was quite shocked. It was a weird response, I was not even sure if Rahmah heard it, I also feel that the word does not fit the situation. But the word “Alhamdulillah” itself, have its own power. The minute I say the word, what plays in my mind was “hey at least just one, I should be thankful”. The aura of the word “Alhamdulillah” is an aura of gratefulness. I guess its true after all that words are the follower of the heart (refer to link) not the other way around. Because I just say a word that mirrors the essence of gratefulness in the first reaction to the news, the subsequent responses were amazing. 

"Orang hebat akan sabar apabila diuji,syukur apabila diberi nikmat... Orang yang lebih hebat akan syukur apabila diuji, sabar apabila diberi nikmat" ~~My Quote

It was like a soft rain falling on my face. Every drop of thoughts falls down so peacefully; it was both relaxing and exhilarating. The thoughts that keep falling were the reasons why I was to resit. There were a lot of positive reasons; honestly these reasons are not reasons I made up to make me feel better. They are just thoughts flashing in my minds. Again, I’m convinced that this is the work of the subconscious mind. When we think positive, the door to happiness will open for us, we don’t need to search for it. That was the beauty of it.

There was one particular reason that I like the most;

Why do you have to resit? Before this you never resit in your whole life of a medical student even though your performance was worst before. It was because now you are ready to face it. Before this, you were weak, full of fear of other people perception, you are competitive, and you definitely can’t stand such a test from God. Now that you are more positive and stronger, this test is given to you so that you can improve on your study skills and your love for medicine.

This was the best reason that crosses my mind, other reasons were:

• To be able to understand O&G more
• To be able to spend time with Mar and Anis
• To be able to experience life as a resitter
• So that I will not be afraid of failing exams anymore
• So that we can help each other during the resit posting
• Spending time at KTDI is a life more disciplined
• My skills wont be so rusty to be use when I enter 5^th year

But the more time spent at KTDI in the resit posting week, I found out even more advantages of resitting. I am convinced that if I had face the news differently’ the door to happiness will not be open automatically. I will have to struggle to find ways to open that door. But positive thinking made all the difference. 

What determines a positive attitude and feelings is not how much we struggle to be positive, but its how much we let go to be positive. Being positive is all about letting go. Let go fears, anxiety, stress worries, be in peace and accepting. Listen to our subconscious, the message from Allah and the rest just leave to our subconscious, Allah message will find its way to our thinking and we will find it so easy to feel happy. 

But one particular tip that can easily be used here is the use of the word "Alhamdulillah". Allah's names have its own power, believe me, it can work wonders. When we leave it to Allah, Allah will give us His protection and security

Tip 5 : Facing Good Exam Result

Well, there is no tip needed to face a good result now is there? At least that what most people would think. Just because we pass with or without flying colors doesn’t mean we’re free as a bird… in fact, being able to pass with ease to me is even harder to face rather than failing. It is easy at first, but too much success can make us feel like we are better than those who are not. In our life, when we are studying together there are no winner or loser, we work together to win together. Passing the exam does not mean we win if we treat others like they are losers. I am not referring to anyone, just a thought… in my opinion those who had passed have an OBLIGATION to help their friends, not only giving moral support but if possible we should also offer help in terms of knowledge. If we are free from the burden to have to resit or repeat, we should never abandon our friend who experienced this “delayed in success”.

Some may welcome the help while others may feel intimidated. But that’s okay, when we offer something good to others, people reject, we could just smile and say it in our heart, “oh well, I am not the one at loss, my good deeds is already written and I have done my share of good deeds today”. We are never at loss when we help or even just offer to help; it all depends on our intention (niat).

There is nothing nobler than the sight of the students who have pass helping out their friends who are still in need of help, and also seniors helping out their juniors on their way up. Helping each others is very noble, but we don’t do it for the fame and to ask for favor in return. If we do good deeds without asking anything in return, that is exactly when our deeds will be returned.

Another challenge of facing good result would be how to spend the holidays. Usually at the end of end semester exam the break would be quite long. Without medic stuff to fill the head, our medical skills could be quite rusty. Not to mention some (especially me) who would have weight gain problem during the holidays due to the eat-sleep-tv-eat-sleep-tv schedule… so I guess, helping out our friends could help keeping in touch with our medic skills. Sometimes just studying because we don’t want our skills to be rusted is not a “good enough” reason to study during holidays, so how about helping our beloved friends then? Usually when our intention is for another person, our discipline would be better. (hopefully)

Anyway, just because I write it here doesn’t mean I ever made such a commitment before, hehe… but, insyaAllah I would be more helping in the future if I were to be given the chance.

I Can't Wait to Finish This Exam!! :D

Oh I'm so happy!


I really can’t wait to finish this exam! No… not because I want to enjoy the freedom… are you kidding me? Medical student will never be free of the need to study. By the time we choose to be in the medic course we should have already anticipated that. But, that’s where life gets even better. Can you imagine how exciting this life is? I mean really, we are being rewarded to study, how can we NOT study! Every single thing we study is because we are going to save a life in the future, save a mother from losing a child, save a child from losing a mother, save a leg from being cut off, and most of all that I am very looking forward to is to save a soul and bring it to back to Allah’s road. Oh…. What a sweeeeeet life…… I can’t wait for all those things. The real reward is not JPA my friend… No, no, no… Yup, it’s the pahala from Allah…. Of course, provided that our niat is pure enough. So okay I missed a few years studying because I want to pass the exam, but hey, at least I realized it now, I got two more years to go. Let’s just focus on making those two years a happy happy time!

I really can’t wait to finish this exam! After this I am going to concentrate on my study plan for next year (year 4 insyaAllah). Oh yes! I am going to make it BIG this time, and I’m hoping to get the entire medic student’s of UKM to get involved. Any UKM medic students, who are reading this, get ready for that. I am planning to get all of us together to create a book. A book of mind maps and short notes. Hopefully, all students from all postings can get involved so that by the end of the first posting, there will a complete set of mind maps and short notes from all different postings. Rahmah have approved the idea, insyaAllah will be under the Zero Repeaters Campaign. I will post the details later.

I really can’t wait to finish this exam! I think my parents really misses me… huhu… My articles in Metamorphosis blog will be edited and will be published in the Lestari magazine, insyaAllah. My dad has read my articles, and he seems interested. I’m looking forward to concentrate on my book, but I’m pretty sure it won’t finish in the mean time. I’m not hoping to finish the book as soon as possible; I’m hoping that the content will be as meaningful as possible. If meaningful means I have to gain more experience, then bring it on!

I really can’t wait to finish this exam! I can’t wait to enter the next, “whatever year it would be”, I don’t care. After realizing the importance of studying during the medical student life, I am going to study, not harder but more sincere. Being sincere makes all the difference. If we respect knowledge, knowledge will be there. If we treat it like garbage, it will leave us behind. I’m looking forward to become a better student, more committed, more motivated, more motivating, more loved, more confidence and more of everything good! A good start is a start that actually started!

success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful 

I just can't wait to finish this exam because I just can't wait to just move forward and forward! There are always great things waiting to happen tomorrow, there is no doubt that every single seconds of our life is a life lesson, something for us to gain, something good. When we leave it to Allah 100% we will find, life is so peaceful, beautiful and just…. Indescribable… 

Hoping for a beautiful tomorrow will make us happy today... Therefore everyday will be filled with happiness until there is no more tomorrow

Tip 3: Post Exam

Right after exam

As Mar suggested (again,hehe..)

“kuar exam hall ngan tenang,elakkan berbincang ttg soklan yg telah dijawab,bykkan berdoa...keep praying...tawakal...”

Additional things to do

• Do not talk too much, try to be in peace
• Avoid going out to have some fun because we want to “release tension”, instead….
• Take a short nap, before that nap, pray: 
• “Ya Allah, as when I wake up, cleanse me out of my worries, fill me with syukur, armed me with sabar… Make me Your faithful servant that will always be under Your guidance and may peace fill my life always”
• After that do sunat prayer (or during any solah), and thank Allah for the exam, regardless of how we do it

Why?

Sleeping is a good way to recharge the mind. After exams, our mind had been working in an unusual environment. It is in an acidic condition. The sleep will help the mind to let go, calm our mind back and bring it to our natural pH 7.5 state. This will also help to energize the body and the mind will be able to produce a healthy thinking throughout the day.

We should also avoid going out having fun because our mind is still in that acidic condition. Fun and enjoyment is also acidic. Anything more extreme than peace is acid, anything too low from peace (laziness) is alkaline to the mind. Therefore the mind will become more acidic if we straight away go out o have fun. After that we will find it more difficult to be find calmness.

Besides, if we go out to “release” the acid, if somehow we find it soothing, this is like teaching the mind, the exam is something to be release. This is very unhealthy. This is one of the reasons why sometimes we tend to treat ourselves to “study because of exam”. We should let the mind know, the exam is actually just one of the process of learning for the future. That way, we will study because of something nobler.

If we want to go out it’s okay, but make sure the mind knows that the exam is not something to be treated as such, to be released once it’s over. If we want to go out, it should be because we feel like rewarding ourselves because we manage to do the exam well. This way we will feel happy, our mind will be happy. Talk about happy things during that time.

What are other things we can do after exam?

First and foremost is tawakal. But did you know that we can still “usaha” even after the exam? This can only be done through prayers. Here’s how:

• Pray that Allah will have mercy on us, gives us patience and feeling of gratefulness
• Give and pray a fatihah for the examiner, before that pray this:
• “Ya Allah, aku sampaikan fatihah ini kepada examiner yang akan menanda kertasku, semoga mereka berada dalam keadaan selamat, tenang, gembira dan murah hati. Nampakkanlah padanya apa yang baik untukku, palingkanlah dia pada apa yang tidak baik dariku… Sesungguhnya Engkau Yang Maha Kuasa lagi Maha Mengetahui, berikanlah apa yang baik disisiMu pada diriku, dan jadikanlah aku hambaMu yang sabar dan syukur”
• Remember to always pray that Allah will gives us whatever that is “best” from His side not to pray that Allah pass us this exam. So anything we received will be the BEST for us. NEVER question otherwise, accept whatever happen with sabar and syukur. Belive that Allah had answered our prayer.
• If we are still afraid that our prayer is not answered, fast for a day or two and pray. Prayers of those who fast will be granted. (But actually Allah really answer all our prayer, there is no need to worry)

The reason behind

The fact is, after the exam only Allah can do something. Therefore, as long as the result have not come out yet, there is still hope. Put our hope on the one that holds every soul in the Universe, Allah. He can manipulate His being. Anything can still happen, kun fa ya kun. Believe in Allah if we want Allah to love us.

p/s: anything written here is merely my point of view, there is no scientific evidence. But sleep really does recharge the mind :)
