Right Back To You

Work isn't just about answering to your boss/es but also whether you've done the right thing.
The thing is even if you 'cheat' to get the desirable results, or you pretend that you've done the right thing, in the end in the hereafter, you are still answerable to your every action...
You can't even hide then... Think about it.

This is a reminder for myself.

7-Years Post Tsunami [Part 5]











Before:
After:


There's also painting gallery and video presentation. When we were there, the 4D tsunami movie theater was being renovated, so we didn't have the chance to experience what it's like to be in the middle of the big wave. If you have the chance to go to Acheh, do visit this museum!


Next '7-Years Post Tsunami' will be the last entry of this series; I'll share some pictures of the tsunami sites in Acheh.

Morning Light

Second posting, 5 months in total

There are times where I'm still scared of doing things
There are times where I still don't feel confident
There are times where I'm still unsure of what to do
Sometimes I feel that time flies too fast
But sometimes it feels so slow
There are days where it's so nerve-wrecking
There are sleepless night; and peaceful on-calls
There are happy days when you see your patients get better
Or grim days when you noticed they deteriorate
Or came too late with complications...
There are days where it's okay
But there are days so busy and overwhelming, we can't even sit
I always say this- it's 'underrated', this being a 'district' hospital


My first experience with patient collapsed during on-call, I panicked

My first patient that was 'DNR'-ed, I almost cried
And when I was really confused and needed to talk to someone, Mom isn't around
Without realizing it, I was sobbing; outside it was raining heavily

This job, I knew I made my choice years ago
I'm still slowly learning, building up my confidence, trying to instill right practices
It is tiring and challenging- physically and mentally
I often miss my family, hang-out buddies, holding the camera, watching plays, enjoying coffee,
And most of the time it made me homesick, being 4 hours away from home
Often, I ended up questioning myself if this is what I really want

But one thing for sure,
So far not a day passes by that,
I pray so that patients get well without any complications,
That we are guided so that we manage the patients as best as we can

This is still baby-steps I'm taking...

always


missing peaceful & relaxing moment like this
missing the good old, happy days
missing my family & friends
can't turn back the time
but thanks to treasure memories to cherish...
thankful to be alive today
and learn many new things every day
pray that in every single thing done
is blessed with barakah,
and will at least give some points
for hereafter, insyaAllah...

Dear Sisters...

Dear young adult women & pretty teenage girls,

Life is so precious. You have to have self respect and self value for yourself. Don’t throw away you life away with one single mindless decision or in the name of having ‘fun’ or ‘love’... Having a child isn’t like buying a cloth or a pair of shoes. It means you have to feed two mouths and you are responsible of making sure the child grow up to be a person.
Please think about your future AND the future of a life that you are going to create. Feeling scared or even guilty after what is done won’t change things unless you change for the better...

I’ve seen too many cases of unbooked and unscreened with single marital status in such a short time that it scared ME of what is becoming of our future generation.
My heart bled for the tiny beings who know nothing at this point.
My heart cried for what will become of their future; will they be angry, depressed or lead a successful life? Will they blame you? Will they blame themselves? Will they blame God?

So please, dear intelligent friends, you are smart, you have self value...
Please do think about your future... Not just the future in this world, but the future in hereafter as well...

CUCMS 2nd Convocation




Frontiers, Congratulations!

It's good to see familiar faces again.
From the first day, everyone has been updating each other on their lives. 
At time like this, I'm pretty sure that most, if not everyone would want time to freeze.
Reality is, time waits for no man. It'll tick away whether we like it or not.

We still have to move on.

May next time we meet, we'll be better persons with more experiences to share.
May next time we meet, it'll be full of barakah.
May next time we meet, it's to give back.

All the best, Frontiers!
