The First year Meds are going for Rural Week today. Spending one week in rural area of WA (and doing some assignments allocated for) is one, I would say, the advantage of being Med students. Geology students are not the only ones who got to have trips around WA ;)

So last night, I and some others went to and slept in Currie Hall. And alas, an interesting topic was being brought up. Everyone seemed to be eager to speak up... and all of us came to the same conclusion- There's no other better solution than to take Islam as a whole into our lives.

"Hai orang yang beriman, masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam secara keseluruhannya, dan janganlah kamu menurut langkah-langkah syaitan. Sesungguhnya syaitan itu musuh yang nyata bagimu" Al-Baqarah, ayat 208 (2:208)

Coming back from Currie, we dropped by Kings Park. And coming back from a Kings Park, panically all of us got out of the car to look at a parrot which we thought just being hit by the (our) car. The little falla didn't fly away nor it struggled to get free when Shu picked it up and put it away from the road. It didn't take the water and cookies that we offered as though it was mad at us for running into it. Hasni made a few calls to find out where the Vet is and so did Ima. Zura and Shu (mostly Zura) kept on teasing and poking with the bird which seemed to start twitching and moving away to the evokes it got. I stared blankly at the parrot with a thinking 'shouldn't we just leave it here?'

After about 15 minutes (I think), it suddenly flied away (after hopping slowly away from Zura)onto the other tree opposite the road. Gasping, Zura said that we've just been tricked by the bird. Shu and I laughed. In the car on the way back, everyone came up with different hypothesis and theories on why the bird didn't fly away (or move even) when it saw our car coming, and why it took it so long before it could fly to get away from us- to the point where everyone (except Ima who refused to) even got a chance to pat the bird.

And I said.... maybe it was in trauma after being hit? You know, like still dizzy and in confused after being ran into... until some moments later it got out of the 'trance', it quickly went away to a safer place.

And everyone sort of agreed.. :p

Allahualam...
