Half way to eid...

Salam to all peeps,

Firstly, I would like to apologize for not updating my blog for such a long time. Yes, I have abandoned it for a while due to some unavoidable excuses.. (malas, nda mood, nda idea sama nda cukup masa) Anyway, how's everyone doing? I wish u all well and be blessed always.. I am doing fine as usual.. I have to admit this week has been a bit crazy and hectic, but nevertheless I enjoyed my week!!

Time oh time.. it keeps on ticking and there's no way we can stop it no matter how tempted we want it to pause for a while or at least tick slower.. which is a bit scary eh.. It felt just like yesterday I started my fourth rotation, but in fact I've done 4 weeks of mental health rotation and left with another 4 weeks!! So far so good... Other than transport as an issue for this rotation, mental health rotation has been going well for me. I enjoyed working at the hospital, the staffs are treating me well and so far, I had no problems engaging with my patients.. people have asked me about how I think of my rotation i.e psychiatry?? well, to be honest, psychiatry is not my cuppa, although I do think it is interesting and unique aspect of medicine involving the mind and brain.. r I believed most of us has this stigma in our head when talking about people with mental illness.. mental illness = crazy people (aka org gila) which is WRONG!!! yes, there are abnormal people but not all people with mental illness are mad people.. sometimes, they are just depressed or they may be anxious or at least some of them are psychos!! It takes a lot of patience and courage to manage patients with mental illness, and although I can be soft hearted at times, I dont think I'll be able to cope with these patients on a long run.. 

We've just passed the mid of ramadhan this week.. we are halfway there to say good bye to ramadhan.. How sad.. I remembered when I was young, I always wanted ramadhan to go by quickly as possible.. Biasalah, masa kanak2 kn malas kn puasa and raya is more appealing in the sense that we dont have to starve and duit kocek pun penuh dgn envelope hijau!! Wah, siuk plg masa raya kanak2 atu.. I remembered that this one raya I managed to collect $300+ during raya!! But now, things change.. As I get older, I appreciate ramadhan more.. I looked forward every year for ramadhan to come :) I do believe ramadhan has its own blessings and I feel peace at most times.. yes, it's challenging sometimes especially when my days are busy and I am starving in hunger.. But alhamdulilah, Allah has given me the strength to fulfill my obligations as a muslim...

Lastly, before I leave.. I'd like to share a phrase with u guys..

"Nama saya SYA'BAN, saya ingin mengingatkan bahawa jiran saya RAMADHAN baru saja mengunjungi awda sekarang bersama dengan isterinya iaitu REZEKI dan dua anaknya SAHUR dan SUNGKAI dan cucunya RAHMAT, BERKAT danKEAMPUNAN. Mereka akan pulang pada 30hb melalui pesawat AIDILFITRI. Justeru itu, hargailah mereka kerana awda akan mendapat PAHALA yang berlipat ganda..."
