It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an
appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him look at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer' s Disease .
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are? "
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Kisah rumput dan orang yang disayangi
Pada suatu pagi di satu sekolah menengah, ada seorang pelajar bertanya pada seorang guru yang sedang mengajar. Ketika itu, guru tersebut sedang menyentuh mengenai kasih dan sayang secara am. Dialog di antara pelajar dan guru tersebut berbunyi begini :
Pelajar : Cikgu, macam mana kita nak pilih seseorang yang terbaik sebagai orang paling kita sayang?. Macam mana juga kasih sayang itu nak berkekalan?
Cikgu : Oh, awak nak tahu ke?.Emmm...baiklah, sekarang kamu buat apa yang saya suruh. Ikut je ye...mungkin kamu akan dapat apa jawapannya.
Pelajar : Baiklah...apa yang saya harus buat?
Cikgu : Kamu pergi ke padang sekolah yang berada di luar kelas sekarang juga. Kamu berjalan di atas rumput di situ dan sambil memandang rumput di depan kamu, pilih mana yang PALING
cantik tanpa menoleh ke belakang lagi walaupun sekali. Dan kamu petiklah rumput yang PALING cantik yang berada di depan kamu tersebut dan selepas itu bawa balik ke kelas.
Pelajar : Ok. Saya pergi sekarang dan buat apa yang cikgu suruh.
Apabila pelajar tersebut balik semula ke kelas, tiada pun rumput yang berada di tangannya. Maka cikgu pun bertanya kepada pelajar tersebut.
Cikgu : Mana rumput yang cikgu suruh petik?
Pelajar : Oh, tadi saya berjalan di atas rumput dan sambil memandang rumput yang berada di situ, saya carilah rumput yang paling cantik. Memang ada banyak yang cantik tapi cikgu kata petik yang paling cantik maka saya pun terus berjalan ke depan sambil mencari yang paling cantik tanpa menoleh ke belakang lagi. Tapi sampai di penghujung padang , saya tak jumpa pun yang paling cantik. Mungkin ada di antara yang di belakang saya sebelum itu tapi dah cikgu cakap tak boleh menoleh ke belakang semula, jadi tiadalah rumput yang saya boleh petik.
Cikgu : Ya, itulah jawapannya. Maknanya, apabila kita telah berjumpa dengan seseorang yang kita sayang, janganlah kita hendak mencari lagi yang lebih baik daripada itu. Kita patut hargai orang yang berada di depan kita sebaik-baiknya. Janganlah kita menoleh ke belakang lagi kerana yang berlaku tetap dah berlaku. Dan semoga yang berlalu tidak lagi berulang. Jika kita berselisih faham dengan orang yang kita sayang itu, kita boleh perbetulkan keadaan dan cuba teruskan perhubungan tersebut walaupun banyak perkara yang menggugat perhubungan tersebut. Dan ingatlah orang yang kita sayang itulah kita jumpa paling cantik dan paling baik
pada MULAnya walaupun nak ikutkan banyak lagi yang cantik dan baik seperti rumput tadi. KECUALILAH jika perhubungan tersebut tak boleh diselamatkan lagi, maka barulah kita
mulakan sekali lagi.
Maka sayangilah orang yang berada di depan kita dengan tulus dan ikhlas.
bureaucracy matters..
fuhh..i manage to leave this poor blog all alone for the past few months...hmm..while currently i am in rage now with the bureaucracy of the local governments of this state..what is the matter with an IT Officer configuring a modem by herself..its not like i'm a damn know-nothinger..calling the TM staff will take at least 48hrs..and we need the internet connection to stay ahead of the others..hello? what's the use of having IT staff in the local governments if they can't be used to even configure a damn modem? still require the TM Net staff to come and do the service report and everything..what the f?? is this how the local government treats their human resources? by denying them their ability and make them stick through all those damn silly procedures? is this how the local government going to advance for the next few years? i really doubt it..
thinking back..i'd rather work in the private sector than with the government..but again thinking..working with the government...you gain all kinds of benefits..but in return you're just like a robot..especially in local-governments..if you're at lower-level..nobody's gonna even look at your opinion no matter how sensible it is..no matter how hot the meeting room is..the decision is still in the hands the higher-ups..
don't they realize the local private sector is far far far far ahead than the local government? to those government spy reading this ..think about it..i don't mind being sacked for this..but if you sack me..you are sacking probably one of the most valuable government servant in the future..i serve the government because i want to see the government change..and i want to be among the people who makes the local government be ahead of others..not just for the benefits i gain..
respect
from wikipedia..
"Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components.
Respect adds general reliability to social interactions. It enables people to work together in a complimentary fashion, instead of each person having to understand or even agree with every detail of another's method. And further more: If you dovetail things you get them working together. It is very important we dovetail our respective interests.."
huhuh..it sounds so complicated..so what is respect actually? basically for me..respect is to honor one's view..in my opinion respect is very important in a relationship..well you have to respect each other rite?
so what if both of you have different views? or both of you see the world differently? as long as there's respect..i don't think that should be a reason for you to say your relationship is going nowhere..no matter how angry you are with your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend..respect must always come first..but we are not perfect..we always slipped and hurt people's feeling..sometimes without even realizing it..and most of that angry time..we disregard our respect towards our partner..(been there..done that..)
i have had this situation..where my ex-boyfriend went out with his ex-girlfriend when we were having a fight..he knows..that i think you shouldn't meet your ex(s) when you are in a relationship..that's my view..but for him its nothing wrong with it..i respect his view..i could let him be if he could only respect mine..by at least telling me he's making contact with her..or spending the time with her..
here's my painful account..i found out thru his email..its like God wants to show me something..he purchased movie tickets for two..the show starts at 930pm..i found out at 1115pm..without thinking i dressed up..unconsciously running while deciding whether to drive or take a cab..in the end i just prayed..that if God really wants to show me something..let this be smooth..right on..exactly when i reached to road side..a cab was in front of me..when i reached there..my instinct told me to stop at the car park..and i went in searching for his car..i thought i saw it..but i just couldn't believe it at first that i seek for help at the security counter coming up some strange stories..but then i wasn't mistaken..it really was his car that i saw..and i waited there..it was 1140pm..in just about half an hour..in my heart i was determined..if the one he's going out with is a guy..i'll take a cab home..but if its not..i'll leave it to God on what will happen..
alas..it was that girl..who in my opinion..doesn't really know how to respect and appreciate people..that girl used to dump my ex-boyfriend with insults and contempt..my ex-boyfriend at that time..who was penniless..who had nothing..scampered away every time he saw her after that..just to stay away from her view..who was she anyway? the daughter of a lord?..it was much to my disgust every time i saw that happened..
and now..when my ex-boyfriend has it all..money..car..good job..branded clothes..she made contact with him..get the vibes anyone? haha..most of the people whom i shared this with..said she's going to make my ex-boyfriend her spare-part in case her rich boyfriend dumps her..which i hope God forbids..because people who have the guts to abject other people..especially when they they are not in the position for it..is not suited to be with other people except themselves..a malaysian way to say it..who eats chillies gets the taste..hahah..
oh yeah..when i confront her..her reason was to make amends with him..yeah rite..behind my back..going out together with him..don't you know how to respect other peoples' relationship girl? coz if you don't..people won't respect yours..well..just take good care of your boyfriend girl..you won't want him to go away do you? and uhh..one more thing..relationships with your ex(s) who are currently someone's boyfriend..is not just your private life..you are interfering with another girl's private life..keep that in mind
i had a principle in my life that says..i won't contact my ex(s) especially when i'm the one who dumps them..but its been changed a bit an now became..if i want to make contact with my ex(s) i must let my current boyfried/husband knows and comfortable about it..if he's not..i'll do anything to make him feel comfortable..and if that ex of mine is already in a relationship..if its other than school reunions or formal meeting..i must make sure sure that his girlfriend/wife knows..and comfortable about it..(well actually the truth is..most women is not comfortable when they hear their spouse is seeing their ex(s)..)..so for me..its easier not to make contacts with my ex(s) at all..unless i really have to..i don't have to worry about hurting other girl's feeling..
so girls..rest assured..i'm the type that respects other people's relationship..and if you know about mine..then i would appreciate nothing more than your respect for my relationship..and to guys who are in a relationship..don't you dare to try me..coz if you do..i'll put you on my "men that cannot be trusted AT ALL" list..and publicize it if i feel like it..oh yeah..i'll find out about your girlfriends and tell them what you've been doing..perhaps it could help them decide whether to keep you or not..
ahh~..there's nothing sweeter than revenge..at times..
that's all for this morning's input..
