This is my first update since being in the hospital scenario :P
Welcome 2009 :)
Welcome 1st anniversary :D
Welcome 1st job :)
I start at UMMC on the 2nd, wish me luck :)
So the ho-hum with my degree being issued VERY late post-graduation is over. Alhamdulillah, that has been settled (and I might add without me having to make another trip there). ALHAMDULILLAH! :)
Having collected it, had to go through all the "procedures" stipulated by the powers that be that employ doctors into government services. While handing in the forms, the officer who greeted me informed me that all I had to do now was wait for a "surat panggilan untuk kursus induksi". "When would that be?", I enquired back. Within a month she replied.
:P :P :P
So there goes my loooong break. It has certainly been a meaningful experience for me being a full-time housewife :) One experience that I may not be experiencing in a looong time to come. My next concern is my postings. Hope I get posted somewhere within a reasonable distance from my hubby and family. I've had enough of heartaches of living far away from home. Pray for me too guys :)
On the way to good-ol-kampung Negeri Sembilan, I had this weird craving for a certain sambal. I couldn't put it into words, and ended up describing it to the over enthusiastic opah-to-be as "sambal cili padi merah and hijau tumbuk-tumbuk" :P
Imagine my surprise when at dinner time my mum presented me with Sambal Ikan Masin and Mangga Muda with Cili Padi :D :D :D How is it that mum always knows EXACTLY what i crave!! Luv u mumsy!! :D
Syiokkkk ooo! Makan dengan ikan goreng garing and pucuk ubi celur (courtesy of Intan's family)...mammamia! I tiga kali tambah nasi..hehe :D
Received this from my brother when he came back on Sunday
Rendah hatilah dan tirulah sifat diamnya emas
dengan sabar melangkahlah di jalan itu
nanti datang padamu buah kesabaran,
Kunci emas yang akan membuka gerbang
fikirkan Tuhan dengan sabar
maka kau pun akan menemukanNya di hakikatmu.
~ Fariduddin Attar
Patience is a virtue not all of us are blessed with (myself especially). It is always with envy that I look upon those rare few who are blessed with (what seems to me) an enormous sense of patience. Patience in their everyday dealings, patience in the face of difficulties and obstacles, patience in reaching their personal aspirations, patience in their treatment of loved ones.
I'm reminded of a festive season advert in the local channels of a father patiently explaining to his son about the Murai bird repeatedly, lovingly with patience and care despite the boy persistently "not getting it" (Anyone know where I can link it?). Fast forward many,many years later when put in the same situation, we find that the boy had fallen far from the tree, snapping at his father after being asked only three time :(
That is but one of the many examples of how and where patience is needed in our daily lives. I do think that if we all learnt to be a little more patient, life would be a whole lot easier on us all. So at this stage in my life, as I prepare myself for lifestyle changes to come, I do hope that I will learn and BE a more patient and tolerant human being :)
