of Ramadhan and being 23
Thursday, July 11, 2013,
Yesterday, was 10th July. Alhamdulillah, Allah brought me this far. so yesterday, i turned twenty-three. my o my, what a great number. it wasnt much of a celebration, as im currently stuck in my hostel and i've just stepped into one of the most busiest posting a med student can ever have... MEDICINE! well people, medicine right here refers to a posting, not the drugs. if u still find the term confusing, lets just drop off the whole topic.
anyway, yesterday was the day i spent my entire evening, and an hour of my night in the ward. what an awesome way to celebrate ur day eh? ha8. but then, i did realized this, as u aged ( i sounded so old la kan), certain things that used to matter very much to u, seems to not matter anymore. as example, when i was younger, my bday seems like the most important day of my life! i want it to be filled with wishes and presents and all the good things. not being stuck in an infectious disease ward. but yesterday, i found myself to be actually enjoying the hectic day in the ward instead of going out to celebrate my birthday. coz somewhere in me i guess, have started reflecting, WHAT HAVE I ACHIEVED IN THIS 23 YEARS OF LIVING? most importantly, what have i contributed? and if being in the ward means gaining knowledge, and insyaAllah will turns me into a better doctor in the future, then let be it. but hey, i still think my bday is an important day. silently, i do waited for the important people in my life to wish me. ha8.
but then, it's unfair to say that i did not have the greatest day of my life yesterday. i do actually, but not in the wild-awesome-party-celebration kind of way, but in a more subtle and peaceful way. i actually turned 23 on the first of Ramadhan!!! how can that not be something awehsome??! right?
so hi there Mr Ramadhan! honestly, i am nervous to see u again. scared that i might not b able to go through u as successfully as i should. but let's try ok :) insyaAllah, He will guides me through. i hope, this year, i'll b a better muslim then before. may i give more than what i received. insyaAllah.
to all those people who wished me through wall post, inbox, whatsapp, phone calls, and face-to-face, let me tell u this, u guys made my day :) i cant thank Allah enough for giving me such wonderful crowd.
and not forgetting,
HAPPY RAMADHAN TO ALL. MAY WE ALL HAVE A BARAQAH RAMADHAN! insyaAllah.
