The Syakirah Project : Day 4

I had a terrible migraine today. Alhamdulillah it subsided. It was kind of terrible at first though. I was thinking of skipping clinical teaching but then, I forced myself to go because I already skipped the session last week due to the same reason. It has been raining every day since the haze now. I feel so grateful that our haze phase is over. I have such low immunity that I get migraines just from inhaling the smog. 

  1. So yeah, I am really grateful for the rain. 
  2. I am also glad that despite my migraine today, I manage to keep fasting. 

I was feeling faint while clinical teaching just now but alhamdulillah I stood near the window, which is the only source of ventilation in the wards. I still feel the throbbing pain but at least it's not that stuffy compared to any other day. 

I am also supposed to move my things starting today to my new home but something came up. So tomorrow it is. I don't really care when. I just want to get this over and done with.

Oh, and yes, our patient gave me a lot to think about. So many people are dying of complications which actually only originated from elevated blood glucose but they get the complications for not taking their medications and not following the diet advised by the doctor. The complications include heart attack, kidney failure, and do you know how painful it is not being able to urinate? Try getting a kidney failure then you'll know. The diet and medications are prescribed for a reason. This is not like your regular fever where you can simply just stop taking the Panadol. Please control your sugar intake from now, people. You don't want to regret this when you're older.

My dad's turn

because ALLAH is with me.... Earlier today i was shocked by a text message sent to me from one of my aunt from my dad's side. "Why didn't you tell me that you've become a Muslim? Sampai hati tak bagitau, bukan perkara tak baik pun." This raised a question mark in my head. Who told her? She's a Muslim by the way. Then onwards, after a few exchanging text messages, i finally come to a realization. I have to tell my dad before he found out from someone else. That would be worst. So, i started to type on my cellphone. "Daddy, i've become a Muslim. Ever since i'm at KTT. I am telling you via sms so that you will be clear of why i am doing this and so that you will not hear this from other people who might exaggerate the story. I didn't become a Muslim because i have a boyfriend. Not because i was influenced by my friends. And also not because i wanted to join PAS. But because i have taken interest in Islam ever since i'm at...

Mummy

Finally, after 1 and a half years(maybe more), the truth is out. I confessed to my mum about me being a Muslim. When I first told her, she was upset and angry. She asked me: Who influenced you into being one? Did u have a boyfriend? Who converted you? Did you know that it’s a big sin to convert when you are already baptized?! I was silent all the while she was bombarding me with her questions but Alhamdulillah, I feel calm and unmoved. I didn’t feel guilty at all. So I told her, Mummy, nobody forced me to become one. No, that is not the reason I become a Muslim. Do you notice that I’ve become more closer to you since past one and a half years?  And my mum said yes, you’ve become better but still… Then I said, it is because of Islam that I changed from my old ways. I used to yell at you but since I became a Muslim, I learned how to be better, to appreciate my parents better. And then she said something I expected she would say. No wonder you didn’t pass your ...

A letter for you

Date: 4th of September 2009 Assalamualaikum to my fellow sisters and brethrens, who will be one of the occupants in Jannah, insyaAllah. First of all, this is a letter that I composed to all viewers. A letter full of my real thoughts and dwellings, a letter of hope and pain, a letter of almost the truth. So here goes nothing. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Dear brothers and sisters, The thing that triggered me to write such a letter is a post, that I read on someone’s blog. It reminded me, well, of about everything . Every single thing that I worked for, every single thing that I fought for. Yes, my story had started long enough, ever since I was back in high school. 2007.... My friend was fasting. I felt excited because I tried fasting too and it’s in the fasting month, yes, I remembered it well. I followed my Muslim friends where I woke up early for sahur and break my fast at Maghrib. I was doing it because I thought it would be fun and why not, since I was dead eager to k...
