higher price of banana...

Since Australia never imports banana from oversea because of concern of bioterrorism, the price of banana is expected to be on the rise due to Cyclone Larry that hit Queensland last night. Queensland is the major producer of banana in Australia. With speed of 290 km/h, fortunately nobody were injured. I think that storm is in Category 5.

Just imagine this kind of storm hit Malaysia. I am pretty sure there will be lots of devastation and many people will lost their beloved ones (theoretically). What would we do in this kind of situation? Grieve, angry, mad....

Massive preparation will be established to prevent further damage in the future such as that has been done for tsunami that hit Asia at the end of 2004. Massive plan will be put into action and great cooperation among many agencies will come to surface.

That is the most common plan that human does in preparing for major devastating event. One should contemplate and ask, how do we prepare our ownselves for the next big thing that will happen to us. An 'event' that nobody can escaped from. The Day of Judgement, that is...

Sometimes we tend to think that youth is only once in lifetime and it is to be enjoyed to the fullest, but are those our daily actions lead us closer to Allah?

If a cyclone hits Queensland caused the price of banana to be increased.....then, wherever we encounter a great sign of Allah's greatness, shouldn't our iman become better than before?

far far away

Today, the ICM placement was announced. For this semester, there are three clinical placements and guess where they put me. Quite far and I have to take a train and it almost at the end of Zone 1. Earlier this semester, we are required to fill in our details and it was my hope that I get a clinic that was close to home....yet, I was wrong.

And it was on Wednesday, to which I have 8am lecture and I still deciding whether to attend those lecture or not, since it will take some time to reach the clinical placement from university...hmm....

Tombo ati....

Peribadi berzikir, zikir menjadi keperibadiannya,
Allah tujuannya, Rasulullah SAW teladan dalam hidupnya,

Dunia ini pun menjadi syurga sebelum syurga sebenarnya,
Bumi menjadi masjid baginya,
Rumah, kantor, bahkan hotel sekali pun menjadi musalla baginya,
Tempat dia berpijak, meja kerja, kamar tidur hamparan sejadah baginya,

Kalau dia bicara, bicara dia dakwah,
Kalau dia berdiam, dia berzikir,
Nafasnya tasbih,
matanya penuh rahmat Allah, penuh kasih sayang,
Keringatnya terjaga, pikirannya baik sangka,
tidak sinis, tidak pesimis, dan tidak suka memvonis,

Hatinya Subhanallah, diam-diam berdoa, doanya diam-diam...
Tangannya bersedekah, kakinya berjihad, dia tidak mahu melangkah sia-sia,
Kekuatannya silaturrahim, kerinduannya tegaknya syariat Allah,
Kalau memang hak tujuannya, maka sabar dan kasih sayang strateginya,

Asma amaninah, cita-citanya tertinggi teragung, syahid di jalan Allah,
Dan sungguh menarik...
Kesibukannya dia hanya asyik memperbaiki dirinya,
Tidak tertarik mencari kekurangan apa lagi mencari pahit orang lain,

Hadirilah majlis-majlis zikir,
Raihlah keperibadian berzikir dengan selalu
Hadir menikmati hidangan Allah,
Zikrullah.

Tombo ati iku ono limang perkoro

Kaping pisan, moco Qur'an sa'maknane
Kaping pindo, sholat wengi lakonono
Kaping telu, wong kang sholeh kumpulono
Kaping papat, wetengiro ingkang luwe
Kaping limo, dzikir wengi ingkang suwe

Salah akwijine sopo biso ngelakoni
Insya Allah Gusti Pangeran ngijabahi

Obat hati ada lima perkara,
Yang pertama baca Quran dan maknanya,
Yang kedua solat malam dirikanlah,
Yang ketiga berkumpulan dengan orang soleh,
Yang keempat perbanyaklah berpuasa,
Yang kelima zikir malam berpanjangan,

Salah satunya siapa bisa menjalani,
Moga-moga Allah mencukupi

erythrocyte

My current wallpaper. To remind me the existence on antigen A or antigen B on RBC and the invisible yet important interleukins, MHC class I and other soluble protein. A good note to remind me in type II hypersensitivy, drug bind to RBC first then being targeted by antibodies. A reminder that some pathogen can be extracellular and intracellular and RBC is one of their major target by hemolysins.

my own of way of revision :D
