بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[1 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
[2Have We not opened for thee thy bosom,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
[3 And removed from thee thy burden
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
[4 Which had well nigh broken thy back,
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
5] And We exalted thy name?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
6] Surely there is ease after hardship.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
7] Aye, surely there is ease after hardship.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
[8 So when thou art free, strive hard,
وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ
[9 And to thy Lord do thou attend whole-heartedly.http://www.alquran-karim.com/alInshirah.html
Since as long as I can remember, I've prayed for strength and guidance. Berdoa untuk kekuatan dan jalan keluar. I don't know if I am any stronger but every time life dealts me a blow, I always find myself praying for more strength.
If you have time to read this, then I want to share figments of my life to date. Bear with me ya...
Currently I am so busy with my project that I find it difficult to breathe sometimes.
Last week I went to Kota Bharu for patient blood sampling. I went on Tuesday morning and back in Shah Alam on Friday morning (intially I wanted to skip lab but then I had to attend a meeting..so to the lab I went). The weekends were spent in the lab, struggling to meet deadlines and expectations.
Even today is spent in the lab. Plus tonight I'm going to Kota Bharu and will arrive there in the wee hours of the morning. Then, I'd rush to my uncle's house to borrow his car. Then I'll go to HUSM to coordinate patient blood sampling in the clinic. Tomorrow I'd go through the case files and mark those who are eligible for the study and the day after is the actual sampling time. Wednesday night I'll be heading back to Shah Alam and again will arrive in the wee hours in the morning. After a bath and some breakfast I'm planning to go to the lab and do some labwork and also to store the samples collected.
This is not the only things I have to do as I have to think about fine tuning my research project to accommodate the current situation and also to take into account the clinician's views. I have to catch up in my reading and writing! I've been stalling this bit for quite a while but I know I can't any longer because my stupidity shows now, especially when dealing with the clinician.
My sis asked me, "Kak Lisa tak penat ke?"
My reply, " Mana ade, Kak Lisa kan Bionic woman" hehehe :p
I think this is a hectic life, life in the fast lane; even if I'm dead broke. I can get through this because I have extraordinary support from every corner. I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful family and friends, but I'm trying not to push my luck too much haha.
But it's good focusing on work like this, I don't have time to think about other things bugging my mind and tugging at my heart. Just work, work, work. But why not? The only rest is when we die. Until that time finally comes, I'm determined to make this all worthwhile.

My dear, I am, too, pray for strength in life. And like you, I wonder if I am stronger each time. But everytime the inner me would simply say: imagine if ALLAH did not bless us with all HIS Rahman and Rahim. Do you think we can walk out just like that?
Girl, that's hectic! Lisa is a bionic woman after all :D Hahaha. Bertahan, Lisa! I know you can do it.
no, I don't think we'd be able to anything without His grace. but sometimes it's hard to remember that :p huhu.
yes, i'll give it all to somehow make it work. U know, times like this my theme song is "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga n Colby O'Donnis (is this right?). It makes me feel good everytime ;)
