water for life..

11pm...sambil2 buat ABG routine round for 1 of my patient..my very last patient for that night.then.. i can go for short nap(s)..suddenly adala seorang ayah ni masuk bilik melawat baby dia (maybe dia baru balik terawikh..normally the parents used to visit their ill baby in our NICU after 5 pm and stay there till Maghrib..but lately few of the fathers choose to come even at late midnight)..since i was not reviewing his baby during that time..i just kept myself busy doing other things..(unless he asks me to entertain him..then perhaps i will consider to spend couple of minutes to do so-but i was in hurried also..hehehheh).

normal looking atmosphere in NICU : u can sense this kind of sight when working at very late past midnight..

Father : Staff nurse..ni nak tanya sikit..kenapa baby saya ni xdisapukan air yassin..kan saya dah lama bawak..

(my gudness, i turned my head 180 degree just because my brain got contused with the voice : yeah..i can see a plastic of bottled water and written clearly with a bold black ink "Air Yassin")..

Staff Nurse : Encik...Air yassin ni erk.

Father : Yerla..Penat2 kami letakkn situ suruh lap2 anak saya ni dengan air yasin (why he was so serious about that : i stopped writing for a while..but i didnt want to join the discussion..)

Staff Nurse : Ayah dia..saya memang boleh buat tp kalo encik seorang yang sangat sayangkan anak..kenapa la encik xbasuh tangan and sapu sekarang la air yassin tu ( he deserved that..the sink for hand washing is just next to the patient's incubator..as a matter of fact,we encouraged all parents to cleanly wash their hands and touch their babies to promote father-mother-baby bond.)

Father : mmmm (angrily, he stepped out from the room and went home..)..for me, the staff nurse's answer was a brilliant answer..

Aku geleng2kepala jerla..why he was so serious about the air yassin ..i could not understand..perhaps it was prepared by some great scholars/alim/ustaz ..tp boleh je dia minta dengan baik2..betulla kalo tanya ustaz and google jer dalam internet semua boleh dapat tahu khasiat and fadhilat air yassin (i agree with this) : ni contoh the links  bagi saper yg berminat : http://bin-sahak.blogspot.com/2008/08/air-yasin-untuk-lulus-periksa.html) and of course many more..i can understand this also (we did practice when we were in school long ago-back then)..but the way we pay our salutations to the water is sometimes inappropriate (this i could not understand)..

..........huhuhu...just immediately after i finished that routine oncall round,  i went to ward's pantry in case i can taste few left over kuih from the 'berbuka'..(biasa satff nurse xbawak balik..)..then i saw a line of  bottled drinking water..

guess what?? left like that unnamed..i thought  it is for *wakaf(free for anybody as being donated from some unknown person usually)..

As i nearly grab 1 for me (biasanya ni kursus2 punya air mineral orang malas amik bawak balik mereka selalu tinggalkan wakaf)..suddenly a staff nurse told me "Doktor, to air yassin tu doktor orang buat baca yassin tadi belong to this person..that person.."..then i say : "so why tinggal semua separuh2 ni..nak minum ke xnak (some are still not open)".. SN : yerla doktor..satu sorang tu dapat.. me : OK..

Moral of the story : i also couldnt get it..personally, aku rasa kita kena paham disebalik usaha utk menghubungkan kita dengan Tuhan kena ada usaha yang lagi lebih sebagai insan utk menjayakan sesuatu tanpa bergantung semata2 "divine intervention" macam ni..i believe those kind of stories will repeat by itself again n again..

.....................i just would like to share a very unrelated story of mine long-long-long time ago(but still has some "water elements" inside it : just suddenly it comes to my mind)....................

semasa di tingkatan 5..untuk menghadapi SPM..sememangnya menakutkan la jugak seposen sbb banyak subjek nak kena amik..Biologi,fizik n kimia..ni je yg dibaca..yang lain tu lantakla..and the worst case scenario : ENglish was my worst and least subject to make me happy each time i eyed my results..so teacher2 akan berusaha utk membantula student2 minoriti yang mcm aku..benok benar nak belajo English(tp rasanya normal lagila kalo sekolah kat pantai timur ni..the monsoon just drain out  the language receptors from the brain together with it..)

Then adala teacher ni bagi aku(few other students also who labelled to be a needy one) sekoleksi karangan(5 ceriter kot) : to be remembered by heart u know..every single word and line..tp dalam banyak2 karangan tu ada 1 je yg aku tertarik..karangan yang bertajuk : WATER..i read this over n over..the story line was so simple..it started with an introduction what is the word means?then it goes deeper to its content. The writer was perhaps 12 years old Indian girl (i assumed by looking at her handwriting)..she did not state her name on that paper (of course)..but i guessed it's SHE since she said  that the water is her life..holier than anything..it was Gangga..Then the whole story was about how proud she is by the name and the spirit that she carries along with the sacred name..what amused me was the story seems so alive till i read it over n over and studied about the Ganges River after that. I learnt how a sincere work like her can affect others in different ways..i was not interested to squeeze my brain with those words..what's more important to me was the way she put the myths and facts together..can i write the same story if the exam's questions were exactly the same.of course not (hehehheehe..i kept the lame old reason with me,boleh ke aku rosakkan ceriter ni yang dh perfect just to make me pass the exam).

enjoy this : I ve seen how polluted it was with my naked eyes in 2006,now im not sure.....huhuhu

(sesiapa yang berminat utk melawat India lagi sila tag me in..Hisam Muhammad ada berani??)..

Okla my last quote for this entry : If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water...so renung2kn..
