Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Yesterday, I watched Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2. I didn't watch the first series but still capable to understand the whole story. I rarely watched movies in my university years but when I do, the movie is certainly interesting. Heh. So, the story was about the life of scientists. People were competing for the best inventions. Flint Lockwood, the main character of this story was a brilliant scientist yet he was quiet naive. He idolized a scientist named Chester V which was known as the greatest scientist with his company, LIVE. 

During the first series, Flint had invented a machine called FLDSMDFR in short from that can convert water into food. It was so amazing but suddenly it was out of control that caused very huge amount of water converted into food, and the food were extremely large. After a while, all the food became living creatures. Chester V then asked Flint to stop FLDSMDFR by the reason to safe the world before the foodimals attack people in the city. Whereas, he just used Flint to get FLDSMDFR for making his new product. Due to high idolization of Flint towards Chester, he followed what Chester asked besides the fact that he was rather naive. The story ended like always, the evil lost and the good won.

The basic morals of the story were just like any other cartoons nowadays; friendship, hardworking, etc. That was cliche. What I found interesting was the idea of the story that gave us an impression on how people in this era think. The story was about science and technology. Everybody thought of being the best inventor. The most respected man was the best scientist or someone best in inventing new things. That fact tells us what is the scale that people today hold on. And the science represents any kind of technologies. That is how people define civilization, more precise to call it material civilization. Humanities have lost and people don't really care about it. What matters to them are getting more money, being famous and having power. All are related to materials, no relation at all with humanities. Fornication is legal even a man can marry a man, they have no problem at all with those things. What defines their problems are losing popularity, undeveloped city, etc. 

So pathetic.

When someone asks you what does Islam bring? Just answer the biggest thing Islam brings is to free people from any kind of slavery other than God. That differentiates Islam from any other human-made ideologies.

Sounds so serious. Nah, it was just a movie though.

Milestones in Life

We all have milestones in life. From the moment we got out of our mothers' womb, we already had out first milestone, which is moving from womb to world. From that moment onwards, we start crying, sitting, crawling, walking, running and speaking. Then, entering school, college and the list goes on. These milestones actually help us focus and play a role as a motivation for us to reach them. If none of these milestones existed, life would be dull and nonexiciting as we had nothing to look for in short time. However, they are not the end of the story. Instead, just footsteps to reach the final goal. For me as a muslim, my final goal is the hereafter. All of the things I might encounter in this world are not the ultimate goal. "Know that that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion.." (Al-Hadid:20). Knowing this fact is extremely important as to make us realise where to put things on its place accordingly. Believe me, those milestones will keep changing

Language Barrier?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Being a medical student is really amusing. Getting know about human bodies is one of the best things I ever experience in life. No wonder Al-Imam As-Syafie claimed medicine as one of the most important branches of knowledge. In fact, advancement of medical care is always associated with better development of a country as it serves better quality of life. Medical practitioners deal directly with human being. They talk, communicate, touch, examine and even open human bodies. Communication is inevitable, it is a part of daily routines, so as improving communication is obliged for every medical practitioners especially doctors. A medical student who does not give reasonable effort to improve communication skills cannot be accepted. It is completely unethical to touch someone, especially involving private areas, when the patient is not feeling comfortable with the doctor. The patient has no choice that he needs to be examined but the doctor should make the pa

Final Year

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم New semester is going to start in two weeks. It is my final year of medical school in foreign land. To express the feeling, it is a mixture of happy and grief. Happy for being a step closer before having an MBBCh, grief for leaving this land soon. Having a glance at what has happened through these five years, it gives me so much memories, good and bad. The plan I sketched during my first year currently makes me astonished for I was being too ambitious. Yeah, you know first year is the time where everything seems possible to achieve. Now, it is final year. Too much things to do, too less time left. That is where the dilemma comes. Where do I need to focus on? If everyhing is done, nothing will be achieved. The fact that this might be the last chance for me being in a foreign land, I cannot waste my time doing things that will not add to my take home supply before going back for good. Finishing job is much harder than starting it.
