Yes, it is confirmed that I have to lapor diri at JKN Pulau Pinang within 30 days from 10th of Nov and "keputusan adalah muktamad". Since I am not familiar with Penang, I googled the 4 possible hospitals that I can get thrown into. Click the picture for a better view.
A is my home sweet home.
B, C, D and E are the choices.
I guess anywhere else other than E is acceptable. E is located on the island, which means higher living cost and annoying traffic jams! The only upside is I can meet up regularly with my doc-to-be friends currently finishing their 5th year in Penang Medical College. Wait, rather than an advantage, the fact that they are still students and already planning strategies to "pow" me should add up more points to B, C and D! Please, oh please anywhere but E. Haha.
Whichever hospital I will be assigned to, InsyaAllah it is for the best, we can plan, but Allah is the Greatest Planner. Have faith. :)
The list is out. I got Penang! Whoa. I didn't get my first choice; Perak, but Penang is not so bad. Better than Sabah or Serawak. I have to lapor diri to JKN Penang soon after I received the formal letter, by then only I can know which hospital I will be reporting to. Please let it be Seberang Jaya Hospital! Please!!! Pray for me, will you? Thanks!
Nervous as hell. I really really reaaallyyy hate feeling stupid. But I'm absolutely sure I will be scolded a lot because of that when I'm working. It's how they do it in hospitals. Ask anyone - nurses, doctors, pharmacists - they will all nod in agreement.
You can do it Smak! Learn and improve.
InsyaAllah.
A friend of Emak uploaded some old pics on facebook. This is a photo of Atuk and arwah Nenek from when he was a policeman in Yong Peng. Yes, Emak originated from Johor. I think that is why we don't exactly speak Utagha at home (an excuse as to why I'm bad at it). She even studied in TIGS, an arch-nemesis of my former school, STF. Anyway, Emak said all the familes at the police quarters loved to take family photos like this one. Funny how Emak's friend described arwah Nenek as "makcik yang selalu pakai celak tebal." It is true though. Nenek looked even more garang thanks to the celak. I think there is a close up photo of Nenek somewhere, I shall find it later.
We actually vow for it everyday in our lives. Five times each day.
In doa iftitah, we claimed:
"Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds."
"Sesungguhnya sembahyangku, ibadatku, hidupku dan matiku hanya untuk Allah, Tuhan semesta alam."
Have we been doing it though? Have we really put Allah first before anything else?
"Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should love Allah. But those who believe have greater love for Allah." (2:165)
This is one of the biggest struggle I'm facing. I'm such a fun-loving, carefree idiot that I always seek worldly pleasure instead of His love. I therefore decided to write this. I need this. I need everyone to remind me.
Besides, I see a lot of people getting the wrong idea when it comes to love, especially of that between a man and woman. Quoting an article I just read recently: "Instead of working to please a potential suitor, perhaps we should first seek to please Allah, the One who sows the seed of love in our hearts and can bless us with our dream husband or dream wife". - Hook up with Allah, Allah will hook you up.
It seems simple, but it is undeniably easier said than done.
However that does not mean it can't be done.
