Awaken at this early hours by I don’t know what but surely I’m awaken and while sipping some orange juice (cap tempatan je…), opened my mail and wa la weh…! My UM supervisor sent me an email at 10.46 pm. Obviously it was my corrected proposal for the postgraduate study. As always, I need to reread the whole thing, not to mess it like before, and I’m still thinking about when I should be doing the correction. Hope hope hope....
Time was surely not on my side, with preparation for practical class today with Bong; and the classes themselves on both Wednesday and Thursday with the boys and girls asking redundant but interesting questions; plus some planned berfoya-foya outings by Thursday night with Makdi. Things are going tough when you least expected. All of a sudden I’ve a lot of things to do! Oh no, this weekend I’ve got to attend a retreat in Kinarut a.k.a menghabiskan duit kerajaan di resort, on the MQA thingy.
Surely, the kite goes up when the wind is strong. I think Churchill said that somewhere. Hope things would be better ahead this week with more work being done (ironic betulll….).
If you realized, I’ve got only hope at the end of the line. Obama la kunun. If I can email this posting to the only ONE, I pray for help and a clear passage through out this week. Praying by writing might be one way to reach the only ONE (the ancient poet and sufi Rumi said this?) and may He read my writings. Apalah daya si kawan ni, hanya merancang tapi dirancang. Bukan cerita pil perancang la ni...
Amin Amin Amin.
This morning my friends and I went for the UMS blood donation drive at the UMS Recital Hall. We reached there by car and there were dozens of people queuing as well as jotting down their particulars. It took us about half an hour just to stand in the lines, some cut queues…macam biasa lah Malaysian…tak sabar-sabar…
After weighing my bodyweight (67kg, astaga gemuk sudah), it was the haemoglobin test. YES! I passed it..My friend did not…poor her…you passed if the blood clumps and drop to the container base filled with blue colour solution (I’m still thinking what solution is that).
Anyway, back to the story, after laying on the bed with my blood bag, the nurse goes on with the blood donation procedures. About five minutes later, the nurse came back to me saying that the blood flow was too slow!
The answer is not to pump it out obviously, but to change to my left arm. The blood flows far better than before and it took me another half an hour or so.
Anyway, I saw a belle femme- a Sabahan nurse. Memang sumandak….haha…
That’s why lah lambat tuh tangan kanan (Censored).
The free gifts were terrific, that include a certificate, a New Sabah Times newspaper, a tuna-filled roti and a few drinks. Thank God we came early, the lines were sprawling outside as if there’s a Megasale…
So people, go donate your blood today and save some life someday. Dapat pahala tau ni….
P/S: Makdi, napa la tia mau ikut tadi...
