Life as a Pre-Medical Student in INTEC 1

Assalamuaalaikum w.b.t.

My life now become more hectic. With many assignments, presentations and quizes. Fortunately, i'm a MARA student who does not have to achieve the cut off points in order to fly over the moon.. hehe.. like the JPA students. However, we just try our best for the best marks in all stuffs that we did. As it is something waste if we do some work with no effort. Wasting of time especially. Moreover, it is beneficial for us as i think it is very useful when we have the title of medical students and not as pre-medical student anymore. It is just that we are more relax than the JPA's students.. hehe.. poor of them. But, don't worry too much my friends of JPA's. I'm sure the lecturer or the tutor will help us in achieving the high points, but we have to help ourselves first right?? huhu.. Anyway, even in my busy life, i do have times for cheering up myself. Well, below are the events that i'll keep it in my memory of life during learning in INTEC..
  • The water in the bathroom was burst out from the pipe junction.. hakhak.. my cloth became half wet and then, because i couldn't handle it alone, i called up for my friends'(Adilah and Pana) help. Huhu.. thanx anyway..
  • Got the 'Ustazah' title again when i was walking with my classmate to the photostate shop. huhu.. don't really mind anyway..
  • My foot slipped over the higher pavement beside the road.. malu bangat sih.. one of the lorry driver wanted to laugh but he tried to cover it.. huhu..
  • Met two of my previous schoolmates from al-amin.. one is same programme with me that is Biloi and one in the russia programme that is Mus'ab.
  • Met the 2 of the seniors of seri indah.. she is studying engineering in american credit programme (kak hazwani). About one more senior, i just saw him. Don't know from what programme.
  • A cockroach wanted to fly towards me.. and haha.. i screamed.. aaaaahh.. (x dela kuat sgt..hikhik)
  • The election for MEP students.. One of my Usrah mate has been elected.. huhu.. famous gak Siti k nih.. congrats anyway.. you can do it!! chayok!! Also my class representer(Ira) was also elected and she asked us to elect the new class representer. All of my classmates at first didn't want to be elected as the responsibility as a class representer is quite big. huhu.. However, at last Rahmah accepted it. So, congrats and thanx Rahmah!! heheh..
  • Met and chatted with seniors from Jordan.. Got more info from them.. Thanx..!!
Actually, there are more memories about INTEC.. However, i couldn't list all of them of course.. So, i just listed the events which i remembered most.. huhu.. For the election result, i'll try to seek it from others. Maybe it will be my next post.. Wait for it..!! Masyi??(okey in Jordan language) Huhu..

Are You Angry..??

Marah Cetuskan Konflik Dan Peperangan(Majalah Cahaya Feb 2006),Oleh : Zulina Hassan


Dunia hari ini diwarnai dengan pergaduhan dan peperangan. Sama ada peperangan antara bangsa, negara, agama, etnik, suku kaum, bahkan berlaku juga peperangan antara anak-beranak dan kaum keluarga.

Kenapa semua ini berlaku? Jawapannya tidak lain, kerana manusia hari ini terlalu mengikut perasaan marah yang bermaharajalela dalam diri mereka. Perasaan marah yang sememangnya dibekalkan oleh Allah dalam diri setiap manusia, sekiranya tidak dikawal bahkan dibiarkan menguasai diri, akan membawa kepada kebinasaan sama ada kepada individu yang sedang marah itu, atau kepada orang lain atau benda-benda lain yang ada di sekelilingnya.

Dari perspektif Islam, kita harus menerima bahawa marah adalah sifat semula jadi atau fitrah setiap manusia. Sewaktu Allah mencipta Nabi Adam a.s, para malaikat mengetahui bahawa dengan sifat marah yang dibekalkan itu, manusia akan berbuat kerosakan di muka bumi. Perkara ini termaktub di dalam al-Quran, “Dan (ingatlah) ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada malaikat: Sesungguhnya Aku hendak menjadikan seorang khalifah di bumi. Mereka bertanya (tentang hikmat ketetapan Tuhan itu dengan berkata): Adakah Engkau (Ya Tuhan kami) hendak menjadikan di bumi itu orang yang akan membuat bencana dan menumpahkan darah (berbunuh-bunuhan), padahal kami sentiasa bertasbih dengan memuji-Mu dan mensucikan-Mu? Tuhan berfirman: Sesungguhnya Aku mengetahui akan apa yang kamu tidak mengetahuinya.”

Sudah pastilah setiap kejadian Allah itu mempunyai hikmah di sebaliknya. Di samping membekalkan sifat marah, Allah turut membekalkan beberapa mekanisme perlindungan supaya manusia dapat menahan diri atau melindungi diri daripada sifat marah yang membawa kepada kebinasaan.

Sifat marah membezakan manusia dengan binatang. Apabila seekor singa atau serigala menjadi marah, ia akan bertindak tanpa berfikir. Sebaliknya, manusia dibekalkan akal fikiran, maka manusia boleh memilih sama ada bertindak menggunakan akal fikiran atau bertindak membuta tuli sama seperti seekor binatang.

Kemarahan yang tidak dikawal, memberi impak yang cukup besar dalam kehidupan harian seseorang itu. Ia memisahkan ibu dan anak, merenggangkan persahabatan, menjauhkan keadilan, membawa kepada kemurungan dan kekecewaan, membawa kepada kegilaan dan akhirnya membawa kepada penyesalan yang tidak terhingga.

Sekiranya kemarahan menguasai kelompok atau jumlah individu yang ramai, maka kemusnahan yang akan terjadi jauh lebih besar skalanya. Ia menyebabkan peperangan sehingga memusnahkan sebuah bandar, bahkan sebuah negara, bangsa dan sebuah tamadun.


Mengekang Kemarahan


Keinginan semula jadi yang dipenuhi, akan dapat mengelakkan rasa marah. Misalnya keinginan kepada makanan, minuman, tempat tinggal, kasih sayang, seks dan banyak lagi.

Dalam tubuh manusia, terdapat beberapa jenis hormon yang mempengaruhi mood atau perasaan seseorang itu. Kajian saintifik menunjukkan keadaan hypoglycemia dan hyperthyroidisme boleh membuatkan seseorang itu berasa marah. Bagi mengelakkan keadaan ini, maka seseorang itu hendaklah memastikan kadar hormon di dalam tubuhnya sentiasa seimbang dengan cara menjaga kesihatan tubuh badannya.

Nabi s.a.w. tidak pernah menunjukkan kemarahan baginda terhadap golongan kafir Quraisy yang sentiasa bertindak di luar batasan terhadap kaum Muslimin. Bahkan, baginda sentiasa bercakap dengan lemah lembut dan penuh hikmah. Bagaimanakah cara baginda mengawal kemarahan?

Suatu ketika seorang sahabat meminta nasihat daripada baginda, lalu kata Nabi, “Janganlah kamu marah.” Sahabat yang lain pula bertanya, “Apakah yang dapat menyelamatkan daku daripada kemurkaan Allah?” Maka jawab Nabi: “Jangan tunjukkan kemarahan kamu.” Sahabat lain pula meminta satu amalan kebaikan yang mudah untuk dilakukan, maka kata Nabi, “Janganlah marah.”

Suatu ketika, baginda bertanya kepada para sahabat. “Siapakah orang yang paling kuat di kalangan kamu?” Maka para sahabat memberi berbagai-bagai jawapan. Rasulullah s.a.w. lalu berkata, “Bukanlah orang yang kuat itu dengan banyaknya berperang, hanya sanya yang kuat itu orang yang dapat menguasai dirinya ketika marah.”

Sebagai manusia biasa, Nabi juga berasa marah. Namun baginda tidak pernah menunjukkan kemarahan itu dengan lidah atau perbuatannya. Apabila baginda marah, para sahabat mengetahuinya dengan melihat wajah baginda berubah menjadi merah dan peluh menitis di dahinya. Baginda juga akan senyap untuk beberapa bagi mengawal rasa marahnya.


Kemarahan yang Wajar


Seseorang yang tidak mempunyai rasa marah terhadap penindasan, penderaan, ketidakadilan dan salah laku yang berlaku di hadapannya, hakikatnya adalah seorang yang tidak memiliki perasaan. Dengan membiarkan perkara-perkara negatif itu berlaku, maka kejahatan akan berleluasa di muka bumi. Sewajarnya, pada ketika inilah seseorang itu patut marah dengan cara menghentikan kejahatan itu dengan kaedah yang telah digariskan oleh Allah dan ditunjukkan oleh Rasul-Nya.

Bersikap tidak endah terhadap kejahatan dan ketidakadilan, samalah hakikatnya seperti menyumbang ke arah itu.


Kesan Kepada Tubuh


Secara psikologi, apa yang berlaku kepada diri seseorang itu apabila dia marah? Kadar denyutan jantung dan tekanan darahnya akan meningkat. Ini adalah kesan langsung akibat lebihan hormon adrenalin dalam sistem peredaran darah. Kekuatan fizikal juga akan meningkat manakala kewarasan dan daya berfikir menurun.

Organ-organ badan yang berada dalam kawalan, akan hilang kawalan. Lidah akan mengeluarkan kata-kata yang kesat dan mengguris hati, tangan akan memukul, kaki akan menendang apa saja yang berada di kelilingnya, bahkan dia mungkin akan mencederakan dirinya sendiri.

Apabila rasa marah yang berpanjangan menguasai diri, rasa marah ini perlu diluahkan atau dihilangkan. Sekiranya perasaan ini dipendam, lebihan hormon adrenalin akan menjadi toksin dalam tubuh dan menjejaskan kesihatan untuk jangka masa panjang. Dia bukan saja akan menjadi seorang yang murung, kecewa, malah fikiran yang bercelaru yang boleh membawa kepada kegilaan. Tekanan darah yang tinggi dan kadar denyutan jantung yang laju akan membawa kepada serangan jantung dan penyakit fizikal yang lain.


Ubat Marah


Individu yang normal pasti akan mengalami perasaan marah apabila berhadapan dengan situasi yang memungkin perkara itu berlaku, dan kemarahan itu tidak boleh dielakkan. Perkara-perkara yang boleh dilakukan untuk menghilangkan rasa marah adalah seperti berikut:

  1. Sibukkan diri dengan mengingati Allah. Misalnya dengan berzikir dan berselawat. Firman Allah dalam sebuah hadis qudsi: “Wahai anak-anak Adam, apabila kamu marah, ingatlah kepada-Ku.”
  2. Meminta nasihat daripada orang berpengalaman. Suatu kisah yang berlaku pada zaman Nabi, sepasang suami isteri yang sering bergaduh bertemu baginda untuk meminta nasihat. Lalu kata Nabi, “Apabila kamu berasa marah, maka hiruplah air dan biarkan air itu di dalam mulutmu sehingga kemarahanmu reda.”
  3. Marah itu datangnya dari syaitan. Oleh itu, mintalah perlindungan dari Allah seperti membaca kalimah taawuz.
  4. Jika berasa marah ketika sedang berdiri, maka hendaklah duduk, dan jika sedang duduk, maka hendaklah berbaring.
  5. Fikirkan tentang kemurkaan Tuhan dan hukuman dari-Nya. Siapakah yang lebih besar kemarahannya, manusia atau Tuhan. Apa akan berlaku sekiranya Tuhan menunjukkan kemurkaan-Nya?
  6. Maafkan orang yang menyebabkan kemarahan itu. Setiap orang melakukan kesilapan termasuk diri kita. Jika kita mengharapkan keampunan Tuhan, maka wajarlah kita bersedia untuk memaafkan orang lain. Sifat saling maaf-memaafkan akan mewujudkan keharmonian dan kesejahteraan dalam masyarakat.
  7. Berwuduklah. Sebaik-baiknya lakukan solat sunat.

Ingatlah bahawa kehidupan ini hanya sementara saja. Setiap orang akan mati dan akan diadili di padang mahsyar kelak. Oleh yang demikian, perkara terbaik yang wajar dilakukan apabila ada orang yang menyebabkan kemarahan, ialah membalas kemarahan itu dengan kebaikan dan kasih sayang. Apabila perkara ini mampu dilakukan, barulah dunia akan menjadi tempat yang indah untuk didiami, aman dan sentosa.


p/s: i know it is quite difficult to control our emotions. I know it because everyone must has experienced through it right?? And there are many ways of handling it according to the person. However, we have to try to keep it in control as it is one of the challenges for humans from ALLAH in order to increase our standards among us.

Boys versus Girls..


'Boys are easier to take care of rather than girls but girls are more easier to be taught than boys..'

Really?? erm.. when i asked this phrase to my aunt, she said that it is quite true as she had the experiences with her daughter and son. She said that it is easier for taking care her son rather than her daughter becoz she didn't have to be worried much about her son as when he grows bigger, he can take good care of himself.


When the boys have to travel in a long distance trip or journey, most of their parents will have a trust that their sons will be safe, Insyaallah. However, if the child is a daughter, then, the parents would be worried enough to let her go. They will ask with whom they will go for the trip, with what, how much the cost and so on. And, certain parents will not let their daughter out or if they give permission, they will ensure their daughter is in the safe mode. For example, maybe some parents will send and fetch their daughters to the places or maybe they will make a call for every minute..!! huhu..


Why do parents more worried on their daughters than their sons?? We all know the answer right? Girls have to face many harms out there. As they are weaker and need more protection than boys. Moreover, many cases which involve girls as victims are reported in media from time to time. Therefore, it is rational if our parents are very worried about us.

In Islam, parents have to take care of their daughters until they get married. But for boys, only until they have works and able to support their lives. What a pretty of Islam right?? As it very protecting females and Islam has some rational reasons to do so.

We go to 'girls are more easier to be taught than boys'.. erm, normally this phrase will have the agreement of many parents. huhu.. erm, most of the boys are more stubborn and rebellious than girls. While, girls have the obedient and gentle character more than boys. Most of girls are also more hardworking than boys. Therefore, girls are easier to be taught.

However, i admitted that if boys are more hardworking in their works or lives, then they will be more successful than girls. Look. Many of the specialists are males, even though there are more females under them. So, i really respect the males who are really committed in their lives.


Why do i wrote about this?? It is becoz, huhu.. my mother is actually quite worried as i want to further my studies in oversea. I know she is very proud of me and she knew i can take care of myself. But she still worried. She doesn't say if she is worried. But i know it becoz she always say "USIM pon bagus Long.." after i got the offers from MARA. huhu. However, after seeing that i want to accept the MARA offers, she accepts my decision. At the same time, she contacts my neighbour who are continuing her studies there to know more about the life in Jordan..hakhak.. (Ummi..don't worry too much about me..) Anyway, i really proud to have a mum like that.. Imagine if i am a boy, does ummi will be worried much like this??
