Besar

Bismillah.

Tahun klinikal.

Yang mana hidup aku lebih berputar sekitar pesakit dan hospital.

Sangat sangat sangat sangat terharu dan berterima kasih dekat pesakit2. 

Sangat sangat sangat cooperative dan hormat doktor. 

Dr Salma Dowara kata, Kasr al-Ainy ialah satu institut yang disegani rakyat Mesir. Sebab depa tau ada doktor hebat-hebat dan rawatan percuma. Pesakit akan bersetuju untuk diperiksa, sebab depa tau, dengan tu boleh bagi pelajar medik belajar dan jadi doktor hebat. 

Ini satu pemikiran manusia berhati besar dan berpandangan jauh. Wallahi ! Tak dak perkataan lain nak describe pemikiran tu.

Mungkin ledakan telefon pintar tak sampai kepada pesakit-pesakit miskin ni, maka depa tak dak la nak viralkan apa yang pelajar dan doktor buat kat depa, dan depa jugak berterima kasih atas perkhidmatan percuma, so depa bersyukur dan tak komen apa-apa. 

Sungguh, bila dilayan dengan baik oleh pesakit, motivasi nak jadi doktor tu sangat hebat. Dan kita pun lebih hormat kat depa.

Aku rasa kalau aku sakit pun belum tentu aku bagi pelajar cek aku T.T

Belum tentu aku ceria dan sedia kongsi maklumat untuk student ambik history. 

Salute to all Egyptian patients, you da bomb! :")

Orang nak pi belajar kat Rusia, belajar bahasa Rusia
Nak pi belajar kat Korea, belajar bahasa Korea
Nak pi belajar Jepun, belajar bahasa Jepun.
Student Mesir dah duduk lama kat Mesir pun tak rasa nak belajar bahasa Arab (dan ammiyah) lagi.

oh the master of the beloved ones, oh my love
you're more precious than my soul and my blood
oh you're tender and full of goodness
god keep you for me my mom
in the past you stayed sleepless at night, got tired holding me for many nights of my life
and now you still enduring the hurt on my behalf
i sleep and you don't,you stay thinking at night
and you wake up since the (adhan*) and you check on me
may you live for me my mother my beloved
and may your satisfaction last for me
my soul is from yours
the reason i live is your nice wishes for me
you feel my joy even before one year
you feel my complains before i do
god keep you for me my mom
god keep you for me my mom
if i live my whole life to pay you back
how can i get enough age(years) for it?
and where i can find the most precious gift?
my eye light,my soul,my life and my world
if you accept them ,then they are my gift to you
god keep you for me ,the master of the beloved ones,my love

i'm scared..

Oh My Arab !

Bismillah.
Tahun 5. Di mana History Taking memainkan peranan yang sangat besar dalam PnP sepanjang tahun.

Antara kemahiran yang diperlukan dalam history taking semestinya kemahiran bahasa Arab.
Tak larat nak kutuk diri sendiri dah sebab 'ammiyah teruk.
Arab kata ''bitkallim 'arabi mukassar' : awak cakap broken Arab .

Pakcik Sameer, handyman yang layan kami macam anak-anak dia selalu membebel kenapa kami tak belajar bahasa Arab ammiyah walaupun dah lima tahun kat sini. Katanya budak Malaysia dulu-dulu boleh cakap Arab macam makan kuaci. Katanya ada masalah dalam otak kamu menyebabkan kamu tak tangkap bahasa ni T.T

Di sini ada beberapa faktor yang aku rasa menyumbang kepada masalah ni :

1. Terlampau berkelompok dengan budak Melayu.

2. Datang Mesir dengan mindset bahawa PnP dijalankan dalam bahasa Inggeris, maka takda motivasi nak belajar Arab.

3. Bencikan suasana di sini, masyarakat sini.

4. Tiada usaha nak pecahkan jurang komunikasi tu. Nak pi hospital ambik history pun malas, Berkawan dengan Arab lagi la tak.

5. Persepsi bahawa Ammiyah Masriyyah bukan bahasa Arab fushah, maka tak layak didalami.

Bahasa Arab penting untuk history taking, history taking penting untuk tahun klinikal, maka Bahasa Arab dan tahun klinikal tidak dapat dipisahkan.

Menyedari kebodohan saja tak cukup, kena ada usaha untuk mengatasi kebodohan tu.
Aku tulis sebab aku pun bodoh. Harapnya junior-junior dapat atasi masalah ni pada masa depan.

Jom tambah vocab Arab sikit-sikit setiap hari.
Rome is not built in a day.
Every professional was once an amateur.

Semoga setiap usaha untuk menuntut ilmu memudahkan jalan ke syurga insyaALLAH.
Salam Jumaat :)

Ayah

It was a Friday.
Every Friday equals family day to me.
Well, I have a small family here ; my sisters and their husbands.
So I visit them weekly by bus most of the time.

That Friday, I went to Atabah to buy a fan as a housewarming gift for my sister.
As the fan box is quite sizeable, I decided to take a taxi to El-Waily.
While trapped in a jam, a peddlar selling shiny trinkets keychains pass by the taxi.
The driver bought one. There's a crowded bus beside us.
A girl had been watching from the bus window, she looked very intrigued at the sight of pretty trinkets.

She called the peddlar, and the peddlar approached the bus window.
A man seemed like her father came near the window and paid the cost to the peddlar.
While doing that, his face glows with the joy of pleasing her daughter.
And her daughter's face glowed even brighter.

Starstrucked. Well, that's my feeling seeing those joyful smiling faces with bliss beaming from their eyes.
It's just a classic proof that dads will go all out to please their daughters.
It may not seem that much, but that minuscule amount of money may be the dad's pay for a day.
He can only afford to bring his family to shopping by bus.
But the daughter, fully grasping their situation, appreciated that small gift dearly.
A dad is indeed a girl's first love.

I immediately reflected whether I had appreciated every effort my dad did to please my unthinkable desires T.T

May ALLAH bless our fathers with His jannah in the here-after inshaALLAH.
(especially my dad who brought up 5 little princess into this world.)

Kaya

Bismillah.
Selama hidup masuk 23 tahun ikut tahun hijrah ni, berapa kali dah aku puji, Bahasa Arab ni bahasa yang kaya.

Ya, betul. Tapi Bahasa Melayu yang aku dakwa miskin itu, sudahkah aku kuasai ?
T.T

Masa kat rumah dulu, terbuka balik satu ensiklopedia kanak-kanak dalam Bahasa Melayu. Masa kecik aku tengok gambar ja :p haha.
Dan dapat banyak sangat penambahan dalam perbendaharaan kata lebih-lebih lagi istilah sains lepas baca betul-betul ensiklopedia tu.

Maka, aku pun simpan kosa kata tu, harapnya jadi motivasi untuk lebih menyayangi dan mendalami bahasa.
Kat bawah ni antara contohnya.

Rakap : stapes (tulang paling kecil dalam badan manusia, satu daripada 3 osikel )
Turus vertebra : vertebral column 
Tulang tongkeng : coccyx
Otot rangka : skeletal muscle 
Sendi engsel : hinge joint 
Sendi lesung : ball and socket joint
Otot luar kawal / otot licin : involuntary /smooth muscle
Otot interkosta : intercostal muscle
Perentak jantung : pacemaker

Cellulos-y

bismillah.
mereput sikit. so let's translate our random thoughts into blog posts. hehe

Few days back I bought fresh molokhia from the greengrocer.
I used to buy the frozen one, conveniently packed, saving the lazy me from the hassles of washing and mincing them. hehe.

So while cutting the stems i noticed that the hard stems are very rich in fibers. The leaves of course lets out some kind of gooey stuff when you immerse them in soups. Upon this, I thought of something familiar. A plant which has a high fiber content, being used as raw materials for manufacturing ropes, paper pulps, hardboards, sacks, fabrics , animal feed / fodder and even biofuel. Well, amazing right?

That superplant is called Kenaf. I don't know if you ever heard of it before. I read about it in my father's agriculture magazine. hehe. The scientific name is Hibiscus Cannabinus.

You can read more about this amazing plant at these links:

(there is even a Lembaga Kenaf dan Tembakau Malaysia. Just wow.)

Okay back to molokhia. 

So i googled about molokhia's scientific name.

Well, as expected, apart from its amazing nutritional properties, its fibers are also used for manufacturing ropes and gunny sacks.

The scientific name is corchorus olitorius. 

''This Middle Eastern super-green, known as Jew's mallow or Egyptian spinach, has a high vitamin and mineral content. This “food of kings” dates back to the time of the pharaohs, when an Egyptian king drank it in soup to recover from an illness. Today, it’s one of the most widely eaten vegetables in Egypt.'' - Kitazawa Seed page

We call its fiber jute. And the leaves that we eat in soups mostly, are called mallow leaves. 

Researches have proved that molokhia is rich in potassium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc as well as high energy values essential in human and animal nutrition. 

(reference : http://www.ajol.info/index.php/apra/article/view/49827)

Well, all the more reasons to keep eating molokhia i guess :)
