EpiFunny’s of Mine

i remember when that when i was a little boy,i saw documentaries and shows of dolphins doing tricks and then rewarded with fishes,also i remember reading about chimpanzeess that were trained or taught to get bananas by solving some simple puzzles,and dogs that were taught to push certain combination of buttons to get doggy treats as rewards,there’s lots of other examples,the researchers used gorillas,orang utans,mices etc…

the conclusions of all the researchers?it’s quite the same actually no matter what the animal they used,unanimously they’d say “hey,these animals are quite smart cause they can plan and learn neat stuffs to achieve their goals(whether they’re smelly fishes,bananas,or a piece of cheese)

in other word,if an animal have a brain it its head,it’s considered smart only if it can find motive and purpose and ways to reach them ,even the treats are not actually in front of it’s eyes,the animal know they’re somewhere behind an elaborate moves and tasks they must do.in most animals the researchers say,it’s just because it’s genetically programmed in them(e.g the complicated nest building of ants,bees colllecting honey, etc)

it then occured to me,well,humans are lot smarter than dolphins right(i think all the researchers would agree to that),so their everyday purpose and motivation should be,further and higher,not just about the basic instincts like food,rest,sex etc.our visions should not be things just about things right in front of us(a pretty girl/boy,a prettty bag,a nice piece of steak for example)it would be unworthy of our complicated brain,and would be humiliating to be at the same par or worse lower than of orang utans(i saw them live,they don’t seem that smart)

i saw a very interesting comercial( think it’s was animal planet) a couple of months ago..i dun remember the details but it ask”why are we here?what’s our purpose?”and show flashes of animal pictures(i remember some birds,frogs and maybe a cheetah,or is it a leopard?)..well it’s about time humans ask that Q right…

but remember 1400 years ago,a holy book was sent down to earth through an honest man, and one of it’s sentence meant “do u think that we created u for nothing” and another meant “we didn’t created the jinns and humans except(for the purpose of) to submit to us”.

and the honest man pbuh said a hadith meaning”the (present) world is just a like dream compared to the afterlife”

isn’t it funny that they only managed to ask the questions after all these years of researching,while the answers have been given more than a thousand years ago.i pray that they will find the answer,but how many of them will be blessed enough to accept them as the right one?

but it’s just painful to see that many more already know the answers(including me)but still ape(dunno if it’s more fittinng to be used literally) around their lifes….ya allah…ihdinassiratalmustaqim….rabbana zolamna anfusana..fain lam taghfirlana lakanunna minal hasyirin….
wallahualam..wassalam

ps:please tell me if there’s any mistake in the translations,especially if the meanings are off….thanks.i’ll gladly edit them

it’s autumn,it’s cold and i was walking towards tram no 2 at detsky centre..and of course i missed it..pathetically loooking at falah and bear waving and smiling at me from inside(they made it inside in time)

so,i waited for another 5-6 minutes before cathing the next one..i caught up with my reading in the tram(luckily i managed to save today’s topics inside my pda).it should take around 10 minutes to reach ablastnaya balnitsa so i would make it in time to prof zharkin’s class..or so i thought.there was a traffic jam at the junction near the morphacorpus(later i heard that it was due to faulty traffic lights)just my luck huh.i had to curb the urge to ask the driver to hurry but logic won(trams can’t overtake trams..they move on tracks)so,i had to wait anxiously for another 10 minutes or so for all the trams in front of my tram to clear through.i reached the balnitsa at around 8.33.it’s bad(just yesterday the calm prof explained that our class starts at 8.30 not 8.45)all of the thoughts running thru my brain,i focused on my steps to hurry the 200m walk towards the gynecology building.

and oh yeah..we had to change into scrubs before entering the class.fortunately,todays class is not in prof room but in the ucebnaya komnata in the basement and when i reached it, falah and bear was still changing into their scrubs.due to the lack of time and reluctance of the group girls to go and wait outside while we change.we settled on”jangan tengok blakang aa..salin baju jap”.i was just folding my jacket when the prof walk in..phew..alhamdulilllah..

so the class started..with bear explaining what,how who n etc(everything bout calpitis and vulvitis)..with occasional interruption of phone calls to the prof(he’s the zav,he should be busy)at 9.00 there was a rappart held in the room..all the doctors in the hospital gathered round,they are one happy and noisy lot(i dunno why but,gynecologist and obstetricians seems to be the happiest doctors)it seems that there’s a deficit of patients in the hospital…the prof blames the beautiful babe-leta.it seems nobody would like to be hospitalised during the beatiful days of early autumn.

at around 9.20 the class is continued.with falah,wen im,suraya and latha explaining about myometiritis,endometritis and salpingitis(boring).
after the break we went to the procedure room and saw some really interesting stuffs:
1)a nurse that had coffee colored discharge(that’s bad)
2)an old lady with a tumor in her omentum minor

then we went up to the wards and observed the prof accupunturing a patient(its like kiss of the dragon man,but the health oriented one..heh)the prof really knows the stuff..he remembered hundreds of points(with their chinese name!!)and taught us a few points.we watched a video once..25 years ago he started a programme,to do cesarean sections by electrostimulation of accupoints,so the patient doesn’t need to be anasthesized during the whole operation(anasthesia drugs are helpfull but they have side effects,any method decreasing their usage is really appreciated in medicine)

after class i went home,decided to ponteng lecture(together with some of the guys.heh) and finish a book by maurice bucaille(of course i dozed off after a few minutes)and woke up to see the guys getting ready to play football(i’m not a big fan of football so i never joined any games,mase tak pose pun tak join,ape lagi tgh pose nih)

that night it was yet another “boys night”,we “iftar”ed together and did solat trawikhat ete’s house.

what i’ve learned to day:
1)the main cause of the diseases above are multipartnered unprotected sex..”la taqrabu zina” has another meaning to me now..it’s to protect humanity itself,most of the patient suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease have a very high to become infertile.
2)new vocabs:pharisees,evangelist,ecumenical,lithurgy,incredulous,exegesis.

TRY NOT TO CRY
sami yusuf feat outlandish

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor
Don’t show your tears

CHORUS:
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you

Isam:
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say

For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

CHORUS

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise

CHORUS

Lenny:
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust

Waqas:
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom

Isam:
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

CHORUS

why is it when i’m far away from the keyboard there’s always something that i want to write about and each time i’m in front of one i’m completely blank.guess that’s what they call the writers block and that’s why i’m not a very keen blogger.seem like it’s beeen forever since i’ve updated any of my blogs(yeah,i got a few)..hehe

just got back from my summer holidays.like always it’s feels like a breeze.but i think i’ve learn something this time..heh.to think that this is the 1st time i really went out during my holidays(usually i’ll just sleep,eat and read throughout the holidays)

funny that i can learn more bout myself when i spent more time with others.and from that it’s like seeing mirrors.and do people need mirrors.it’s like i’ve found my purpose..my wings..whatever u want to call it la.all this time i felt bounded by something…full of darknesss…it’s like drowning in my self…with only a mask of a smile on my face..(damn,i’m good at metaphors).

actually i didn’t change much but.it’s not like i’m appointed gavan the space cop or the green ranger(albeit if i am,it would be cool)it just seem that i can see more clearly what i can do and what i can’t…my abilities and limits..i can’t describe this in a more objective way.but i think,the probelem before this is that i always think that the “current” me seems to be unable to catch up with the “should be” me,now i’m just “me”.just with better eyes(methaporically of course,my glasses seems to grow thicker each time i went for a checkup..sigh)

well..whatever..now it seems the best someone to be is just to be urself…but the best of urself…heh
