three is the number

year three. 

InshaAllah three years to go before i can finally tell my mom, "Alhamdulillah, congratulations mama, your daughter is finally a doctor".

setiap kali tengok seniors year six graduate, mesti akan rasa terinspired. not to mention the overwhelming emotion during convocation nanti. masing-masing semua rasa teruja, tak sabar nak graduate jugak. Ya Allah, permudahkanlah.

p.s : Tq cik aisyahrkh7 :-) jom kite same-same banyak-banyak berdoa dan melipatgandakan usaha selagi berbaki masa.

treat others the way you want to treat them

assalamualaikum...

Selamat Study Sempena Exam Final. Ada masa lebih boleh teruskan baca, kalau tak, lain kali pun boleh. Dia bila kita tengah tak ada masa nak menulis, idea memang banyak, lepas tu kita buat donno dan, berlalu sepi je idea tu kan. Saya memang suka menulis tentang manusia dan hubungan sesama manusia, sebab i think it's one of the effort I can do to make the world a better place to live in.

selalu kita dengar 'treat others the way you want to be treated'. So, kalau kita nak orang layan kita elok-elok, kita pun kena layan orang baik-baik. Tapi, benda ni akan membuatkan kita cepat kecewa. Kita layan orang baik-baik, in the end, kuberi susu dibalas tuba jua.. So, kita pun macam, sedikit sakit hati lalu menyesali berbuat baik dengan orang. so, this is not going to encourage kita terus berbuat baik, and we're leaving an option for others to hurt us, in a way lah kan.

'treat others the way they deserve to be treated'. okay, this one sounds a lot more promising. at least, memang kita ni obliged untuk treat orang yang baik dengan baik, dan memang puas hati kalau boleh berlaku jahat kepada orang yang jahat dengan kita. Lepas tu kita boleh kata, "Padan muka ko... memang patut pun ko kena macam ni... mwahahahaha (ketawa macam shaytonn)". ok, stop right there.istighfar dulu. Some people, very few people memang akan rasa sangat relieved, and boleh move on dengan tenang. But I believe more often than not, kita akan regret benda yang kita buat tu. It won't even make you feel good. And sometimes it will hit you hard in your head, "I really shouldn't have done that". But if you're among those yang gagal untuk berasa demikian, okey jom banyak-banyak istighfar lagi dan berdoa Allah lembutkan hati.

Obviously, it is not akhlak Islam untuk berbuat demikian. Mana ada kita baca dalam sirah, bila Nabi Muhammad S.A.W dibaling dengan batu, Baginda baling balik batu ke ape ke. In fact, Baginda S.A.W refused untuk malaikat balas perbuatan diorang tu. You see? And if that doesn't get to you, just remember you are of higher class untuk balas orang jahat dengan perbuatan jahat. I mean, buat apa nak downgrade status dengan involve with silly argument. Okay, masa ni baru penting kita ingat soal taraf-taraf ni, walaupun it's not healthy at all, at least it will stop you from doing things you will regret later. Ibaratnya macam kita stress dan pergi shopping therapy, lepas tu balik rumah you feel even worse for spending so much on things you don't even need.

So, what's with "treat others the way you want to treat them". Sukahati kita je ke nak treat orang macam mana sekali pun? Well, the answer is YES! If we decided to treat everyone nicely, we can treat them the way we want to treat them. It's not because you're obliged to do it. So, tak ada unsur keterpaksaan. It's a value you instill in yourself, and you live by it, regardless orang tu buat kita macam mana pun, kita tahu, this is how i will treat you. This give you total self-control. Walaupun there's a possibility untuk orang tu keep menyakitkan hati kita, tapi at the end of the day, kita akan rasa lebih bahagia bila tahu yang kita ada self-control yang tinggi, and it will boost our self-esteem too. :-) 

Tapi, we also have to remember, kita kena tahu "Where you end, and I begin". Tak bermaksud kita ni biar je orang buat apa-apa kat kita. Bila orang buat sesuatu yang kita tak suka, kita kena jugak tegaskan that dia tak patut buat macam tu, but still, kita tak adalah membalas perbuatan tu with something similar. Let's say orang tu cakap bukan-bukan pasal kita, we let them know, dia tak patut buat macam tu, dan it ends there. Kita pun tak perlu nak balas balik ke ape ke. In a way kita tak panjangkan isu, dan mudah-mudahan akhlak yang baik tu akan menyentuh hati orang lain.

p.s : i am soooooo excited about going home. please pray for me that everything goes smoothly so I can benefit others during my holidays. 

p.p.s : meng-italic kan perkataan bahasa inggeris dalam sesebuah entry adalah kerja sia-sia. I loss the real intention of italic-ing them. pfft.

cendawan celup tepung : sepetang di irbid

hello everybody.. sempena nak exam ni... u either tend to eat more than usual, or less than usual. biasanya tak ada orang eat normally macam tak exam. ada orang kalau exam, dapur dia tak dikunjungi langsung, hari-hari mkn beli je, and ada orang akan lebih aktif ke dapur bila menjelang exam berbanding musim-musim yang lain. faktor utama masih gagal dikenalpasti. 

So...kalau kita setahun kat Irbid ni ada 10 kali je minum petang, at least 6 dari pada 10 taburannya meningkat ketika menjelang exam.. sebenarnya harini I minum petang cucur udang carrot, tapi tak adventure langsung nak share resepi tersebut kan.. jadi harini I nak share resepi cendawan celup tepung, yang diambil dari my cousin.

Bahan-bahan

Cendawan tiram

4 sudu tepung gandum

1 sudu tepung beras

garam dan gula 

Cara-cara

so, basuh2 je cendawan tu. boleh didapati di kedai-kedai sayur berhampiran supermarket zamzam, atau ctown, atau safeway.

untuk tepung salut tu, campur semua bahan, air sehingga konsistensi dia menepati citarasa, dan garam and gula to taste. untuk buat lebih banyak lagi, senang je, ingat nisbah 4:1.. kalau pakai 4 cawan tepung gandum, letak 1cawan tepung beras.

tips menggoreng :

ok, ini memang teringat nak tulis sebab goreng cucur tadi.. PASTIKAN minyak panas dan api kuat masa nak masukkan cucur/cendawan.. baru tak melekat.. agak-agak dah terangkat dari dasar kuali, baru switch kan ke api sederhana - kalau goreng benda yang susah masak guna even slower. then nak angkat nanti, kuatkan balik api supaya tak "tangkap minyak" gorengan you all tu... tapi pastikan ada skill lah, silap-silap dah api kuat, ko terkial-kial lagi nak angkat, gelap la jawapnye... 

terima kasih kepada kakak saye kerana mengajar saya cara menggoreng yang betul, walaupun bila dia mengajar dulu i rasa was-was.

p.s : tiada gambar sebab cendawan mmg belum sempat hidang dah separuh kena makan. haha.

ringkas

at one point, we just stop doing things we used to do.

sometimes it's great to be reminded of the sweetness you've once felt. but it also reminds you of how much you've missed for disengaging yourself from it. it could be anything, something you love to do - working out, reading, writing, attending classes outside the university,or trying new recipe. but it's okay, hopefully that will make you appreciate those things better next time, if you still have the opportunity to do it. i don't want to miss it again and bear the losses. 

Exam date :

21/5 : Midterm Urogenital System

22/5 : Final Urogenital System

28/5 : Final Central Nervous System II

2/6 : Final Central Nervous System I

p.s : tak sabar tunggu my first b&w film punye hasil tangkapan. weeeee

why women don't listen and still wear leggings

okey. kita tinggalkan sekejap cerita-cerita Pilihanraya Permai, tahniah kepada future leaders of Permai, and kepada ahli Permai seramai 79.9% yang turun mengundi ( 747 tu rupanya target JPR berdasarkan 80% ahli datang mengundi - so close kan). tapi ada 21 ke 26 undi rosak tu masih tidak masuk akal. hangpa ni tanda rait kaaaaa kat kertas undi...?

Ok lah, hari ni mari kita bercakap tentang isu kewanitaan. cewah. on why women don't listen. 

sebenarnya baru-baru ni I stumbled upon blogs yang berniat nak menegur wanita-wanita Malaysia yang berpakaian menjolok mata, khususnya pemakan legging yang semakin berleluasa. Tapi personally aku rasa tak sesuai langsung cara penulisan serta imej-imej yang digunakan tu. In fact, aku nak link kan blog tu pun tak sanggup, baca suku page dah rasa meloya. 

I wonder what makes them or he (obviously aku rasa blog tu mesti lelaki yang punya - sebab perempuan mesti tak tergamak nak tulis macam tu or letak gambar2 macam tu) think(s) perempuan-perempuan memakai legging akan terkesan dengan teguran macam tu. And I also noticed comments yang kata, berhikmah tak semestinya lemah lembut - which is true, tapi berhikmah jugak tak semestinya bermaksud you can trash others like that. Personally, I resent such method of dakwah (itupun kalau sesuai kita nak kata benda tu dakwah).

kalau berhikmah itu adalah menggunakan cara yang paling sesuai, then we should all know that perempuan ni hatinya sensitif. Bila ada orang bercakap kasar, hanya ada 2 respond je dari orang perempuan ni.

1- Dia akan malas nak dengar, sebab perkataan yang kasar ni buat dia rimas, so we just ignore it.

2- Dia akan marah, and sama ada dia maki balik orang yang cakap kasar tu, ataupun dia tak balas in words, dia balas dengan perbuatan - action speaks louder than word katanya.

Another thing is, bila dah nampak trang tang tang besar-besar kat entry/poster tu mengecam si pelaku, agak-agak berapa percentage kemungkinan dia akan proceed untuk baca? Most probably they will go like - "okay, ni kalau baca mesti sakit hati, so tak payah baca."So, in which way such blogs yang mengeji perempuan memakai legging ni adalah sesuatu yang berhikmah? so senang je sifir dia, why women don't listen, because you don't talk to us in the right manner.

and by the way, those blogs yang letak gambar-gambar perempuan pakai leggings ni, aku rasa lelaki pervert je yang rajin nak baca, dan pervert jugak yang membuat entry sebab lelaki soleh mestilah tak buat kerja nak google image "leggings" and put it on their blogs. boo ya!

Hati perempuan suka akan pujian

This is undeniable. So, instead of trashing mereka yang pakai legging, cuba masa diorang pakai elok-elok tu kita puji sikit. Suka lah tengok you pakai macam ni, daripada you pakai legging harimau bintang semalam. Memang lah it's not healthy jugak dia pakai tu sebab suka orang puji, tapi lagi dihentam, dia akan rebel dan lagi nak buat apa yang dilarang. For the greater good, kena ubah juga sikit method tu.

Which is why, fesyen yang so-called MUSLIMAH tapi tak syar'ie mendapat tempat dalam kalangan masyarakat - sebab they get wider exposure dan more pujian. And I'm sure many will agree with me, zaman sekarang ni nak shopping baju menutup aurat adalah sangat susah as compared to baju tak menutup aurat yang always available, everywhere. Bila basic akidah belum betul-betul kukuh, memang susah lah kita nak expect orang choose to menutup aurat because of it's an obligation for a muslimah. It takes a lot more effort untuk explain and change culture tak menutup aurat ni. 

So girls, be a good example to other girls and kindly let them know what "menutup aurat dengan sempurna" really means. Aku pun bukan sempurna sangat lagi, but kita sama-sama cuba lah kan. And boys, jangan impulsive sangat, we're of different creations. We don't function like you.

Congratulations jugak untuk bloggers yang menulis on this issue dengan baik. I haven't found many, but if I do next time, I'd link to it inshaAllah.
