I Met Freedom In A Plane

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

On my way to Muscat for 9-hour transit before going to Malaysia, I had a small talk with a middle age woman. I actually wanted to go to toilet but since all the toilets were occupied I waited on a coincidentaly empty seat beside the woman. She looked like an Arab, so I had my conversation in Arabic.

This conversation is in full Arabic

"Assalamualaikum, where are you going madam?"

"Waalaikumussalam, I am going to Muscat."

"You just transit there or it is your destination?"

"I am going there."

"You work there or just visiting someone."

"Oh I want to visit my sister there."

"Hmm, are you an Egyptian?"

"No, I am from Sudan and live in Egypt. Sometimes I go back to Sudan like you do going back to Malaysia."

"Hehe. Where do you live in Egypt? I live in Sayyeda Zeinab."

"Really? I also live there near Saad Zaghloul Metro station."

"Ah, very close to my house. Maybe I can have a visit there someday."

"You have a good Arabic." (This is a typical sentence I got)

"Thank you, I have lived in Egypt for there years. Oh yes, may I know what is your name?"

"My name is Hurriyyah(in English means freedom)"

"My name is Firdaus."

After a 15-minute conversation, I am no more feel to go to toilet besides the toilets were still occupied. Maybe because there were many babies.

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...

The Best Milk, Chocolate And Juice In The World

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم For me, the best milk in the world is Bukhaira or Egyptians pronounce it bi-khi-ruh, the best chocolate is Flutes and the best juice is orange juice branded Beyti or sometimes Enjoy is pretty good but I rather choose Beyti. If somebody wants to cheer me up, it's more than enough for him/her to give me these things. I will surely be very happy but if you see any homeless or people who are more in need than me, please prioritize them and ignore me.
