We have arrived to the last 10 days of Ramadhan. How fast time flies. Mari sama2 tingkatkan amalan. May our 'amal will be accepted by Allah. Amin.

"Sesungguhnya kami telah menurunkan Al-Quran pada malam Lailatul Qadar. Tahukah kamu apakah malam Lailatul Qadar itu? Malam Lailatul Qadar itu lebih baik daripada seribu bulan. Pada malam itu turun para Malaikat dan Jibril dengan izin Tuhan kerana membawa segala perkara yang ditakdirkan berlakunya pada tahun yang berikut. Sejahteralah malam yang berkat itu sehingga terbit fajar ".(Surah alQadar ayat 1-5)

p/s One day left to leave this place. Sad. 

CERITA SHOPPING RAYA DI JALAN TAR

Assalamualaikum. Rajin pulak update blog hari ni.

Well it was an ad-hoc plan. Yesterday I suggest to kak elly and jun to go out to jalan tar today, and tadaaa, off we went. Hehe. Waking up at 7 am today, I first watch my favorite show Tanyalah Ustaz, doing laundry, and siap2 to go to jalan tar. We were out of the house at 9.30 am, sharp. 

We drop by at Terminal Pekeliling first bcos Jun is getting her balik raya ticket. After Titiwangsa straight we went to jalan tar. And yes, as expected, it was traffic jam! Quote from kak elly: 'Negeri Selangor kosong hari ni semua turun KL'. Haha. It was indeed mcm betul je. Sea of ppl at jalan tar today. So we decided to park at Sogo, and ya Allah we were dying looking for empty car park. I was wondering pukul berapa diorg yg dpt parking ni sampai hmmm..Lastly we got this ‘melekap-ke-dinding’ parking, thank God kita naik cik chubby hari ni dapat la selit2. That was the best we could, and it was only after almost 15-20 minutes.

'melekap kat dinding'

So our journey at jalan tar started at 11 am. I purposely took all those pics, ye la entah bila la dpt outing raya kat jalan tar with jun and kak elly kan *sad*. 

i really like this pic. wish i was in it

I bought baju kurung and tudung, and few brooches, and butang baju melayu to abah. Jun bought almost the same as I am. Kak elly bought only tudung. But seriously the baju2 kurung are cheap. Those that u found in shopping complex with price tagging rm80-90 or even rm100, u can get as cheap as rm50 at jalan tar. Seriously. Same material, same fabric. No kidding. That is why people are dying to come regardless of sea of crowd and cuaca panas and semua rambang mata.

favorite pic haha. look at jun's head: mcm gambar tampal. funneyh!

sanggup abang ni pakai tudung nak promote jualan dia. gelis i tgk ade misai pakai tudung camtu

Still, we have to choose wisely, don’t overspend, and most importantly, urus nafsu! (yes I have been nagging about urus nafsu since I belajar dr ustaz zahazan, but it really does work tau (especially when it comes to buying foods). Meh nak ajar what I always do. When I started to rambang mata nak pilih, I will ask myself do I really need it? Itu suara nafsu ke suara Ija? Hehe u can try this it works (but sometimes it doesn’t hehe).  

pulang setelah penat bershopping

We finished shopping at 1 pm (tupon dah rase penat gile. I cant imagine how ppl can be in that crowded place for so long ish2), and arrived home at 2 pm. Playing around and fitting those baju that we bought, then collapse haha.

Well, looking at all those persiapan raya, made me realize that raya is approaching. And sadly Ramadhan is leaving. This is a reminder to us all, especially to me myself: Mari tingkatkan amalan, dan terus berdoa semoga amalan kita diterima. Amin.

p/s It was tiring, but I think it was a fun day today. Especially observing perangai2 orang kat jalan tar. Macam2 kerenah. Fun!

WHY WE PREFER TO COOK OUR OWN MEAL FOR BERBUKA

Assalamualaikum.

Hello peeps. May we all have a bless Ramadhan. Only 12 days left for this holy month that is full with barakah. Semoga amal kita diterima oleh Allah, amin. 

Dari Abu Hurairah R.A. beliau berkata: Rasulullah SAW pernah bersabda, “Orang yang berpuasa memiliki dua kebahagiaan yang dia bergembira dengannya: ketika berbuka dia bergembira dengan bukanya dan ketika berjumpa Robbnya dia bergembira dengan puasanya.” (Muttafaq ‘alaih)

Yes, that is very true, especially the later. It is our ultimate hope that all our ‘amal will be accepted by Allah. Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing(Al-Baqarah:127)

And for the former; kegembiraan  ketika berbuka? Berbuka is indeed the awaiting moment for those who fast. Some prefer to cook, some would go to bazaar, some choose iftar at masjid, and once a while we would want to pamper ourselves in nice restaurant or ramadhan buffet.

Anyhow, this is my bazaar ramadhan story. Up until today, we only went to bazaar 2 times (one near Selayang mall, the other near selayang stadium). And it was a total disaster. After a long and tiring day, and it so happened that that day u gotta lot of patients, and most of it are counseling cases, plus it was so hot that day, all u want is a decent meal. Yes I am clearly aware that is it is all dugaan ketika berpuasa so we need to bear with it, no complaint. But after a long stroll at the bazaar, fighting to mengurus your nafsu makan when choosing the foods that all of them ‘appear good’, and the moment u put it inside ur mouth, boom! Heartbroken.

We bought nasi kerabu once –the ulam2 dah almost basi. Popia sira –the filling was nothing but taugeh (yg dah hitam2 tu). Popia basah –the same as the popia sira. Yes it is very true that our Prophet SAW said that when u don’t like a food, don’t mentioned it outloud, tak baik menghina makanan. But please, please, please food hawkers. Please make a more decent meal. Don’t only long for big money and put aside the quality of ur foods. When it comes to taste, I can still compromise, as our taste preference is difference, some would love a sweeter ayam percik, some would prefer spicier. However when it comes to quality of the foods, I really couldn’t take it. Come on la, orang beli makanan u untuk berbuka peeps, berbuka! Ikhlas la sikit bila berniaga tu. How could u sell a very bad quality foods to orang puasa. Tak berkat tau. Tak baik.

Hihi that is why we prefer to cook. Although it is a very simple meal –as simple as ayam goreng and sayur lemak kobis, we’ll be satisfied. No complaints, no broken heart, no ‘rasa-nak-nangis-makan-makanan-x-sedap’.   My favorite our own cooked meal so far was nasi lemak (tq tq tq kak elly sedap gile) and mee goreng + cucuq udang. The bestest! The other meal like masak lemak cili api udang, tomyam ayam, ayam masak merah, etc are great too. Beronok-ronok seronoknya hihi

.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that if we have time, just cook our own meal. Not only that we have decent meal, but also we can control our nafsu makan (ye la when u look at foods at the bazaar all appear appetizing and u start to buy more than u need), and of course, prepare healthier meal (err in our case not that healthy kot huhu). And no, I am not against all food hawkers at the bazaar. Some sell really good foods, and I much appreciate it. 

Thank you for those who prepare good foods up till this 17^th ramadhan. And that include my lovely mak, my sister kakni, housemate kak elly and jun, and restoran asam pedas and restoran bumbu desa (omg their foods are great!). 

makanan berbuka that i brought from home couple of week back: ikan patin bakar tempoyak, roti jala and kuah durian, popia goreng. sayur campur and kari ayam tu cikjun masak

p/s selamat berpuasa. Tinggal berapa hari je lagi. Sad that ramadhan is leaving. Smg dpt tingkatkan amalan dan smg amalan diterima, amin.

p/s 2: hari ni saya masak ikan kembong goreng berlada (but it was a bit dry) and sayur lemak labu (mula2 keras, nasib baik kak elly tlg selesaikan masalah). Sory kak elly dan jun :(

CERITA MENGURUS NAFSU

2 hari lepas sebelum pergi office aku tengok Tanyalah Ustaz kat tv9. Ustaz Zahazan, bercerita tentang perang badar (perang nafsu). Ustaz cakap Allah ciptakan nafsu, dan Allah jugak ciptakan akal. Jadi, nafsu sebenarnya adalah untuk diurus, bukan untuk dihapus. Ulang suara, urus! Jadi dalam bulan Ramadhan yang penuh barakah ni, aku sedaya upaya cuba urus satu nafsu yang aku percaya agak susah untuk diurus; nafsu makan. Aku jenis yang tak berkira pasal makan. Aku beli ape yang aku nak, yang nampak sedap kat mata ni. And most of the time it end up in the bin. Alhamdulillah sejak aku berazam nak urus nafsu makan ni, dah tak ada makanan end up in the bin. Quite an accomplishment eh? ;)

Satu lagi nafsu yang aku nak urus adalah nafsu marah. Eh sebelum cerita pasal nafsu marah ni mari kita recall syllabus usrah masa kat kisas dulu. Naqibah aku adalah Kak Sumayyah. Nafsu ni terbahagi kpd 3 sebenarnya; mutmainnah, lawwamah, dan amarah. Ok huraian menurut ingatan aku yang tak berapa dhabit ni macam ni. Mutmainnah ialah nafsu yang tenang, yang selalu mengingati Allah dan sentiasa dekat dengan Allah. Lawwamah pulak biasanya nafsu kita sebagai manusia biasa lah. Kita tahu sesuatu tu salah, tapi tetap rasa nak buat (sebab tak pandai urus nafsu), dan end up menyesal atas perbuatan tu. Akhir sekali, nafsu amarah (pernah dgr kan orang cakap amarah syaitan etc) ialah nafsu yang mendorong seorang buat jahat dan tak rasa bersalah, nauzubillah. Tapi aku google tgk2 blog orang ada yang listkan 7 jenis nafsu. Aku pun x tahu, Wallahualam. 

Panjang bebel (sebab tu kawan2 aku selalu cakap ija suka explain banyak2. sorry old habits are hard to kill). Back to story. Sekarang aku berazam mengurus nafsu marah. Ya aku memang dah bertukar menjadi seorang yang agak temper skrg, yang mana aku sungguh malu dgn perubahan aku yang satu ni. Dulu aku seorang yang agak composed dan cool. Bukan la cool mane pon, gelabah2 tu tetap ada. Cool dalam konteks ni ialah tak cepat marah. Nak pura2 marah pon aku x reti. Sebab dulu aku adalah orang yang positif. Ok2 dah2 angkat bakul angkat sendiri astaghfirullah. Tapi betul tau tak tipu. Marah aku adalah equal to menangis. Ye kalau aku marah sangat aku menangis. Tapi aku mmg kuat nangis pon so mute point di situ hehe. 

Jadinya bila masa aku bertukar menjadi orang yang kuat sentap ni? Jawapannya adalah bila aku mula bekerja tahun lepas. Aku mula tinggi suara kat orang, tahap tengking2. Aku pernah halau staff aku keluar dari ofis, and I said get lost! At some point (mmg dah sampai limit dia) aku cakap stupid kat orang right in front of their face.  Pantang orang buat salah aku nak sentap. Haish kalau traffic jam tu, memang medan menghambur perkataan2 x elok la. Lagi2 kalau ada kereta mcm haram main potong2 line orang, kalau tukar lane x bg signal, etc. Tapi aku x blame siapa2. Aku tak blame company lama aku dulu. Orang yang blame orang lain untuk kesalahan yg dia buat adalah org yg loser bagi aku. So I took all the blame, totally. Sebabnya? Sebab aku x pandai urus nafsu marah aku, dan aku sesungguh-sungguhnya (wah punya la nak ta’kidkan kesungguhan aku kat situ) malu dengan sikap aku yg itu.

Sempena bulan ramadhan yang mulia ni, aku cuba (read: sedaya upaya) kikis sikap cepat marah aku tu. Jangan sentap tak pasal2. Banyak2 sabar. Banyak2 istighfar. Banyak2 diam. Lagi banyak cakap lagi banyak dosa. Aku cuba menjadi ija yang cool dan composed (perasan) mcm dulu. Doakan aku ya?

Satu lagi nafsu yang aku cuba urus adalah nafsu tidur. Kalau zaman dulu2 tengahari je rasa nak tido. Petang nak tido. Pagi x payah cakap la, mmg susah nak bangun. Tapi semenjak dua menjak ni Alhamdulillah bangun agak awal. Lagi2 bulan puasa ni, kan nak kena sahur. So far rasanya mmg aku selalu terjaga sendiri, tanpa perlu dikejut orang (of course alarm hp pon membantu).  Lunch break pon, sebab tak makan bulan puasa, aku isi masa dgn buat satu aktiviti besides tidur. Tapi tidur kejap sebelum Zohor tu sunat kan? Correct me if am wrong. 

Jadi itulah cerita urus nafsu aku. Aku mintak sungguh2 apa2 benda elok yang aku cuba buat bulan ramadhan ni berkekalan la hendaknya. Untuk kamu2 pon sama la ya. Semoga kita beroleh keberkatan dan rahmat dari Allah.  

Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana, wahab lana min ladunka rahmah, innaka antal Wahhab.

the coolest man on earth

p/s entry ni lebih kepada muhasabah diri, so aku guna bahasa yang dekat dgn diri aku. Peace!

p/s 2: aku letak gambar abah sebab abah aku adalah orang yang sgt cool. ija nak jadi mcm abah laa. 

MISSING THIS PLACE: G3.8C

COMPARTMENT C ;)

Saya merindui bilik ini

Bilik terbaik di blok G

Tingkap bilik ini ditinted oleh brother yang menghuni sebelumnya

Terima kasih brother, siapapun kamu, semoga bahagia

Kamu membuat hidup saya ceria, kerana bilik ini tidak panas

Jadi Ida dan Nawa suka sekali dtg ke sini sepulangnya dari kelas

Sambil makan pisang goreng keropok lekor dan air tebu pakcik cafe

Bilik ini berhadapan dgn padang bola, 

Juga boleh nampak court tenis dan volleyball 

Jadi ia medan terbaik menyanyi lagu tuai padi antara masak, intai 'mereka' antara nampak

(Oh beristighfar di dalam hati atas dosa2 lalu...)

Hujung minggu riuh saya menegur kawan2 yang membasuh kereta di bawah

Kereta saya? Hantar ke car wash saja ;)

Compartment C ini luas sedikit berbanding yang lain

Jadi ia port terbaik makan2 juga

Gosip2, tengok movie, baring2 dgn Ida, Sal dan Nawa

Kaksarah pon pengunjung utama, jika saya tak ke bilik dia

Mimi, Fiza, Miya, Farah, dan Mazu pon kerap muncul muka

We sure have great time before, have we?

Jadi ya, saya merindui tempat ini

Kerana bukan saja ia bilik terbaik, tapi ada banyak memori

Insya Allah akan kembali ke sini,

Bukan bilik ini secara khasnya 

Tapi saya akan kembali ke tempat itu

Ke Garden of Knowledge and Virtue

Walaupun tidak kembali ke bilik terbaik

Tapi saya akan selalu dekat dengannya, juga memorinya

;)

p/s hari ini mood menulis dalam bahasa melayu, sambil menanti berbuka mee goreng terbaik dan cucuq udang terbestest dgn housemates fantabulous ;)

CERITA KUCING, HIGH PROTEIN DIET, DAN ICU

assalamualaikum.
selamat berpuasa hari ke 6 to all. smg amalan kita diterima, insya allah.

a very cute story in a medical ward.

on thursday i went up to review a patient. septicemia case, with DM and HPT. he also has gastritis. Pt is LOA, but appetite is improving, and he is on soft diabetic diet. Has been losing wt for the past couple of months, and he appear wasted. high protein diet it is to the pt. i prescribe milk supplement to him before, but he could not tolerate the milk -nausea and vomiting. so i gave him modular protein supplement to be added to his porridge. Alhamdulillah he tolerate it well.

Well that is not the cute story i'm about to tell. so when i review this pt, the sister of the ward happened to be there as well. she is a very funny-cute-motherly lady. but she always forget my name. from perak she is, thus its easier for her to call me YONG (i believed it is a nama manja for girl in perak). so we discussed a lil bit about the pt's progress and high protein diet. and then suddenly she told me that her cat was once hospitalized, warded in icu, and given high protein diet. i was like huh???

yup, high protein diet for cat. ok lets call the cat lionel messi (bukan nama sebenar). poor messi has stunted growth. his brother has grown big but he is still small. he also developed diarrhea and vomiting. he has become so thin. so being a concern owner she is, the sister brought messi to the animal medical center in jalan tun razak (or is it jalan ipoh? x igt laa). he was warded in the cat icu, and given drip bcos he was dehydrated. and then he was given high protein diet (for catch up growth). well i heard of veterinar clinic before, but icu for cat? that was my 1st time. i forgot the name of the high protein foods for cat sorry.

nway messi was warded for several days (cost for cat icu is rm50, not including meds and foods, per day). the sister mentioned that his condition is improving. ever heard of a pet always know his owner? whenever the sister pay a visit to him, he will meow and cheer up. (but to a friend, who 'raised' fishes, aku x sure la pulak kan ikan kenal x owner dia ;) nway all d best to the new batch, dont worry nama mcm tough insya allah kekal la yg ni). well back to the story, messi was discharged after a few days of treatment. sister still continue his high protein diet for quite sometimes after that, and she said that messi's development has improved a lot since then. he grows bigger, the fur becomes shinier, and he becomes more active, portraying the name messi (though it is not his real name).

what i want to highlight here is right diet, appropriate to ur condition is very important. even animal shows significant changes when correct theraputic diet is implemented to him. dietetics has become one of the important treatment of a patient, because a pt's nutritional status as well as dietary intake pretty much affecting the prognosis of that particular diseases. 

funny part of the story is how the sister so enthusiastically tell me the story in the middle of the ward. the other staff nurse, overhearing the story, were smiling to us. she show me the picture of messi, from before warded, when in icu, and upon discharge. imagine she has like 600+ pictures in her phone's memory, so she has to scroll one by one to look for it. kite x sampai hati nak cakap x payah susah2, sbb die semangat sgt, so kite layan je la ;) then she realized she didnt have the latest pic of messi (who is perfectly healthy now), so she promised me to take one. fulfilling her promise, right after i counseled wt reduction diet to a pt yesterday (friday) she called me:

sister: yong, dah habis tgk pt ke?

me: dah counseling dah pt bed ** tu. ade refer lg ke sister?

sister: x de dah. nak turun dah ke? kejap. 

me: knp ade sample biskut raya ke (hehe)

sister: ni, awak (yes she called herself awak mcm usop wilcha tu) kan dah janji nak tunjuk gmbr messi yg terbaru. smlm awak dah amik gmbr die. jap eh.

*taking out her phone, scroll the pics, and show me a healthy, shiny, gorjes cat*

me: wow chumilnya..........bagus la diet die.

sister: tu la, die byk girlfriend tau skrg. 

monolog dalaman saya: hai tu pon nak cite ke sister??? haii laaa. 

well thats about it. cute kan cerita ni? baik cakap cute. kongkong nih. ;)

p/s dah selamat smpai umah pkl 9.30 mlm. teki-teki: kalau kite gembira kite cakap seronok kan? kalau gembira banyak kite cakap ape? jwpn: beronok-ronok!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: LAU KANA BAINANA
