Dedicated to a great man

My post tonight is dedicated to a good man I once knew. 

Dearest Dato',
You are the only doctor whom I will ever allow to kiss me on my cheeks and myself to sit on your lap. 
I know you never have evil intention and love us like your grandchildren. 
I remember the first time you complimented me because I explained to the patient in Malay why he needs an OGDS before he could disturb you writing your notes at our nursing counter and you gave me a pat on my shoulder and said, "wah, you explained so well!"
Ever since then, you often disturb me and sometimes kissed me on my cheek and made me blush!
I remembered I teased you too when the pants you wore seemed loose, and ever since then, I never see you wearing it anymore.
Every morning I looked forward in greeting you and getting a warm hug from you especially when days were bad.
There are times you patiently explained to me things that I do not understand..
Sometimes I got a little frustrated with your cool and calm approach but later on, I understand that doctors are not God. If one has to go, he has to go. 
I remember one night I had to call you to inform the death of your patient, and your voice and response is still so vivid in my mind.

I could write so much in memory of you but what is the point to say so much now when one is gone. I know you have lived your life to the best and God loves you so much to take you away in a least torturing. 

I know you are at the best place to be in now. Till then, see you my dearest Dato'.

The month of May.

Usually a month has a maximum of 31 days. This month felt longer than that. The sequence of events and the anxiety of waiting definitely prolong the 31 days. Right now, I'm in a confused stage. After I paid my contract and resigned from my workplace, while i was serving the two months notice, there were events that made me think twice about resigning. I question: is it God that is trying to tell me something? Or... Is it otherwise? I'm less worried about the finances or other factors... But am more troubled about whether i am walking in His ways. I understand God gives us free will.. But Lord, at this moment, can you take away this liberty of having free will and direct me to the paths which You have prepared for me? Just like Jacob who cheated Esau for his father's blessings.. I think I understand the importance of my Father's blessing and am almost that desperate to have His blessings... because it will change one's life. Dear God, please hear me. In my own mi...

My night off

Okay, most of you must be wondering what does the title mean.. Night off? It simply means my off days after my night shift. I was on night shift for 4 nights and having my off days now since yesterday. 3 days seem long but actually it's not. 1 day needed to readjust my biological clock. So which means left me 2 days. Anyway, am having another extra off day because of Raya Haji in December. It was an interesting week that I've got. I cleaned a dead body with 4 of my friends before the mortuary people came to collect her. I touched a dead body for the first time. It was a bit horrifying but.. it's all in the mind. I remember what was my thought when I cleaned her.. I was wondering where is she heading to after this. The reality of heaven and hell will be discovered by her by now and what was she feeling? Shocked? Regret? Glad? I don't know. It's a mystery to be discovered by every individual on their own. I had the thought to go for a movie this afternoon.. but it was...
