After mediaPERUBATAN was unofficially renamed Biro Pusat Pemulihan due to the extensive sengal-ness of its members (no, the big bosses were safe from this infection), I felt the need for a serious self-searching.
I hope you can help me by answering this poll. Thank you and have a nice day.

Bad in a Good Way
aka Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
I don't like chocolate that much. I brought Mocha 3-in-1 from Malaysia and I resort to it whenever I've maxed my daily Nescafe intake yet still the day hasn't ended. And it tastes funny; the chocolate part of it doesn't go well with my palate.
But not all that is distasteful is bad for you, and not all that is palatable is good for you either. Like that Allah said in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 216.
And just because I don't go well with chocolate, doesn't mean it doesn't go well with the rest of Earthlings. People perceive things differently, that's what makes them amusing :) Let's celebrate uniqueness and our differences with understanding and a smile.
And no, that doesn't mean I don't accept chocolates as gifts. Keep them coming!

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you.
But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you;
and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you.
And Allah Knows, while you know not.

To not Breed Prejudice
aka Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
It's winter now in Egypt but we're all heated up with the recent harassments subjected to our sisters when commuting through certain areas in broad daylight. Among the circulating advices is to be constantly vigilant and acutely aware of your surroundings.
So that you are able to recognize friends from foes, be quick and reflexive should that elbow-jab is needed that instance.
---
The other day I was walking back from Imarah 11 and yes I was alone until a small kid fell in step with me and smilingly asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Nur," I smiled back most probably due to his petiteness (and yes, politeness). Ammar and I chatted as he walked me around the corner and we parted with the courteous let's-meet-again wave.
Most people will just walk by curious kids like 8-year-old Ammar here and ignore his questions and I understand the safety reason behind it. But when you're paranoid of everything, you'll be prejudiced and will miss out the fun and excitement that usually come along.
Bro Fadel Soliman once told us to "Never generalize and be objective. You may find good allies in some of them". And judging out of suspicion is depriving yourself from good things from happening.
So the neighbours might be a little bit taciturn, but if you approach them they are more than welcoming. We have Amm Mahmoud in front of the imarah, and the baker is protective when one of the girls last year ran for cover into his bakery. Give it a try now, why wait until you need their help then?
---
Another advice is to not walk out alone, and this one brother already warned "Lepas ni aku tengok ada budak perempuan jalan sorang, aku sound..."
Haha, now that's even scarier than the Arabs ^^" A bit difficult for me but I'll try my best.

We fortunately live in a caring community. Need more reasons to take better care of yourself? ;)

"Nak kene gigit?"
This cute one here is Ancylostoma duodenale, a 0.3cc/day blood-sucking parasite of the small intestine. It's too cute with its "nyaaa"-face expression that pretty much resembles one of the many Power Rangers' villain.
For such a small creature, it causes anemia. A force to be reckoned with, a petty monster packing a full punch. That warrants endless thanks to Allah for us being Ancylostoma-free.
Maybe? Get yourself checked :)
Pardon me for the incoherency. I shall be gone.
p/s: Thus Parasitology is easier relative to the other subjects :)
Take on the SE
So we're done with the Student Election and I am now free to comment whatever I want and degrade anyone as I please (haha).
Sure I didn't campaign for nor against anyone, maybe I slipped once or twice what I detest and what I support in the solitude provided by the blue bird but that was it. And this is more out of my own principle and probably has nothing to do with me gripping the News Dept in a tight fist.
Now I am free to spree.

Prez and his Vice II
Whoever made it as the president or vice is of no interest to me since obviously they were better off declared victorious in the first place. Personally I think Damak and Kak Aimi hadn't much of a challenge; Imdad and Kak Natrah were competing along more likely to heat things up with the alliances and fanpage and blogs and munajat perdana.
To avoid what happened in Alex, urm.
AJKTs
I know all those listed for the elections are people of credible, able to perform their responsibilities to the fullest when given the chance. And when you squint at their manifestos, they pretty much howl the same idea. So voting for one and not voting for the other most likely will have minimal effect.
But whatever it is, deep down the core is your akhlak. Especially when you establish rapport with people, akhlak is the one thing people look at, well at least that is what I do. And what I will continue on doing.
And please, sarcasm is to be used exclusively within your close contacts. And in personal blogs, of course. Thank God we only vote for candidates of the same gender.
So there goes. I actually voted for all Azhar and Ain Shams candidates and that left me with only two candidates from Cairo so I went with ehem maybe another entry.
p/s: I realize writing on PO makes me wasted and this blog should be taken down due to lack of thought-provoking content.

Belajar dari Sejarah
Yesterday we had our very first Cairo Annual Meeting (MTK) with this 20-minute opening speech by our president which sounded more like a policy speech and blurred I was with the speed he was going, I only realize so when he came to his fourth point.
He gave up to seven points; the fifth which was similar to one of the male candidate's manifesto and this nose sniffed a subtle campaign there, haha.
Also we had seven motions, all with varying degrees of priority. If you read what Abang Hafiz wrote in his blog, he opened up a different perspective on the urgency of such motions, which brings us to one simple question: What is the function of a motion?
Speaking of motions, some were polished version of what was previously brought up in previous MAT. Like Nasrullah and his establishment of PERUBATAN Cawangan Kaherah (PCK), Afuza and his formation of smaller organization by university, Chip and his PERUBATAN headquarter which was what Chairman Rahim of Alexandria will bring upon the meeting there.
Which shows it pays to learn from the past and other people.
The debate that ensued was pretty much amusing. Having been to mega meetings ever since I was in first year, yes I can pretty much surmise these people have matured since though it was the same old same old people who walked up the isle to speak.
When I asked this to a fellow representative, she replied that she had the same idea, so why go up front? Which brings us to another question: What happened to proactivity and creative thinking?
One moment that had me in giggle was when one female senior refuted a younger male senior when he objected the establishment of PCK on the basis of this same motion was objected during the Annual General Meeting (MAT) of President Kadir's reign. She reminded me of an older sister reprimanding a misbehaving brother with a full smack up his head when she said, "Tahun berapa tu *****??"
It was then November 2008. That meeting was my first ever assignment, pardon the immaturity.

When we talk about the past, there is no footsteps better to be followed but that of Prophet Muhammad's. His life and sayings plus the Quran make one complete life manual where you refer to regardless in times of lost or not.

Jangan jawab "Apa khabar?" dengan "Hah?"
Sebenarnya ada sangat banyak benda yang tidak ditulis lagi. Idea-idea yang bernas diperap dalam kepala tanpa mampu diluahkan berikutan kesempitan daya menulis. Maafkan beta, akan beta berusaha lebih lagi.
Bermula dengan merayap di Eropah Julai yang lalu sehinggalah perihal beberapa isu berbangkit kebelakangan ini, semua ini perlu disiapkan. Andai suatu hari memori ini hilang, semangat turut luput, maka akan ada dokumentasi dalam bentuk penulisan bagi mencarinya kembali.
InsyaAllah yang ini tidak akan hilang melainkan Blogger buat hal.
Juga berita ada beberapa lagi dalam senarai yang gagal disiapkan setakat ini berikutan virus siput yang berleluasa. Draft dah siap namun masih gagal dibuahkan hasil; satu berita yang berjaya siap semalam turut mengundang kritikan daripada para boss.
Maaf, sememangnya saya tiada bakat dan kurang berusaha. Mungkin saya patut bersara dan fokus pada Naj*b.
Hakikatnya semua ini alasan sahaja. Nak seribu daya, mahu sejuta cara. Jangan cakap sahaja, berani mengatur langkah dan dammit, gerak lah. Terang-terang dilaknat orang sebegini.
Saluran darah di kepala berdenyut lambang gagal minum kopi pagi tadi dan reda sebentar tadi dengan terteguknya secawan. Hari yang lain pula sambung bicara. Babai.

Ngefans Saeed
Saeed proactively submitted one news tonight.
This kid is too good, I am but a snail with a bad back.
One of the attributes of the believers as defined in Surah Al-Mu'minun is being faithful to what you were trusted with. You don't only do what you should; you do your best and see it thoroughly done.
p/s: ATIQAH!
Atiqah: eh ana ada kata anta mantap x?
Atiqah: tahniah2
Atiqah: lawa gile berita
Saeed: kita kan bekerja
Saeed: so kenalah buat yg terbaik

Pinjamkan Tangan, Teluskan Hati
Once the team wrote this news about our junior was forcefully evicted after a break-in orchestrated by their own landlord.
One of the students related to this issue commented that we misquoted a certain fact.
I asked him what it was. He told me, "kata wartawan carilah sendiri kehkehkeh".
I laughingly said he was being sengal. He said he was serious.
I am sure I violated every ethics on triple-checking every fact obligated for reporters when I decided to leave the news be, but h*ll.
Let me tell you. When you involve yourself in any organization, there is no such thing as being a one-army unit. Either you help everyone out, go through with your suggestions instead of mindlessly commenting or just keep silent and give us that pat on the back we sorely need.
Why not lend us a hand and 'bersama mediaPERUBATAN'? Sorry we're (ME!) not doing our (MY) job well, but that comment can seriously be less than preferable.
Let's just do our job sincerely and play our part to the utmost extent.
---
When anyone greeted me anytime with "Sorry to bother you, you must be busy" personally I was mortified. What was I busy with? Was it something petty or something that will make a change pleased by our Lord?
If I am not and was free, why did this happen? Was there someone out there cramming her time to make room for me to idle around?
p/s: Or can I thank my superior time management? ;)

Changing Life Course
My dearest mom gave me a challenge to be completed in less than one year time, she even went as far as to remind me of April 2011. It's stressful to say the least, because this affects the whole course of life and where I stand, even a whole year is not suffice. At all. Oh god.
But ever the bright lass (read: too bright) whose life principles include 'Dissapointing means death', who am I to say no?
Drastic, thus calls for drastic measure. So let it be known this is the time for some serious self-upgrade.
p/s: But if she comes out and says, "Mama gurau je la", I am going to kill something.

Kenya[taan]
oh oh ada benda best. hari tu umair minta tolong pasal assignment parasit, dia ada prob with the research part. well people go nuts here eh :)
Medscape Blogs, where medical students talk. [Haru's, where Atiqah blabs?]
on a side note, i have been calling home for two days in a row (tahniah2 *pompoms*) and concluded Kenya is quite a dangerous place to go now. or anytime in the near future, sigh.
