expect less

*knock knock*

anybody's here..? 

..

okay cool. it's safe to rant out. 

soo earlier tonight, i went to a place accompanying my mother and my aunt for solat hajat. not a masjid, but it's an open space whereby people gathered there for performing solat jamaah - solat hajat and isya' for tonight.

since it is an open space, i can see all jemaah lelaki and of course, the imam. aaaand there's a kitten wandering around this one guy. from afar, i can see that he treated the kitten well. he just pushed it away lightly whenever the kitten gets too excited rubbing his fluffy head at the guy's elbow. everything looks fine and peaceful until..

*insert a suspence music background*

until.. the poor kitten decided to rub his head to the imam's forearm. unexpectedly, the guy straight up pushed the cat away with the force that would throw the poor cat about 1 meter away. not gonna lie, my mom and i were quite taken aback. the guy at the back of the imam immediately stood up and took the kitten out of the jemaah line. 

and the incident got me thinking.. why am i so shocked about that? am i expecting the different kind of treatment from an imam? will i react the same if the person that did that was a young guy smoking cigs at the side of the road?

hmm.

i guess.. it really is. we oftentimes have some expectations out of someone when we see how they represent themselves - their appearance and the post that they have. i can't deny, in the situation that i've mentioned earlier, i did expect the imam to just push the kitten away lightly like the first guy did. it suits him. it suits the title imam that people honoured him with. it suits the age (he is in his 60s i guess). but afterall, i guess i'm wrong. 

maybe.. i should expect less or maybe nothing at all. a person is still a person, regardless of what they wear or what job that they have. they have their own personality, their own temper, and their very own reaction to something. a person isn't a robot which can be programmed in a package of perfectly desired personality. they are just them. and i guess what i witnessed just now is just a normal thing. but i blamed my expectation for my reaction. 

but on the side note, please don't abuse stray cats. they're just as cuddly as others but it is just unfortunate that they have to live that way. please be kind always. 

with that, i end my short rant for tonight. have a blessed day! 

p/s: the moon looks gorgeous tonight. look outside!

helo.  how's everyone doing now? great? cool cool. keep doing that, you look good.  this is just another post of 'hi-im-just-dropping-by'. to be honest, i don't really know what should i post here on blogspot. should i post something informative or just to keep it personal - as for my so-called online diary.  but here i am, just some random rants every now and then.  as for my life update, i'm currently still in my routine of boring-working-life. but to highlight some, i was with pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) for 2 weeks in early august. not gonna lie, it was suuuuch an experience. i get to poke someone's shoulder.. with needles.. *insert smirk-creepy-smile* :P the work was fun, in a way. i don't know, though i am an introvert, i do enjoy meeting people at the facility. i enjoy seeing their excitedness and whatever reaction that they have towards getting vaccinated. elders.. youngsters.. all of them, with different kind of vibes each. this one incident at PPV...

Procrastination? Yeah, kind of.

Procrastination. Sounds familiar, isn't it? You have a list of tasks to deal with, but instead - you just there, rearranging your books on the shelf. You have assignments to submit in a week time, but you're creating a cute bed for your new kitten. You need to contribute your part for group-work project, but instead you just cleaning and washing your bed-sheet for the second time of the week. You said you want to keep updating your blog, but yet, there - all the drafts that never made up to the public view. Familiar now? hm-mm. As most people claimed, procrastination is laziness? Well, I don't think so. Yes, the tasks are not done, but look at what you got? A tidy bookshelf, a cute bed for your cute kitten, a clean bed-sheet for you to sleep comfortably, and drafts on your blog that shows you actually have ideas and intentions to-do-so but-you-didn't. Aren't that cool? aha.  So.. if you think about it closely, procrastination doesn't actually equal to laziness o...

hola. i just want to rant out about something..  about this.  a part of me - is against this statement.  the fact that when encountering a patient, doctor/s need to listen to their complaint, their history of complaint, past medical history, history of hospital admission, any drugs history, allergy history, family history and social history yadayada. then proceed to relevant investigations according to the complaint the patient presented with. and then only come out with diagnosis. usually they would pick up the most common first. by means, you wouldnt be suspecting rare diseases first. sooo from the list of possible diseases (differential diagnosis) you just pick the most common diseases that relevant to the signs and symptoms, and as suggested from the results of the investigations done. treat by the first choice first.  some would say, 'ni je buat?' because it seems to be very lack of effort, but yea. to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. annndd as in the case ...
