Food for Thoughts
Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two ...
Baca baik-baik dengan seksama dan pikirkan sejenak!
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
Aku mencintaimu bukan karena siapa dirimu, tapi siapa diriku ketika bersamamu
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
Tidak ada seorangpun yang layak untuk ditangisi, jika ada, seharusnya dia tidak membuatmu menangis
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Hanya karena seseorang tidak mencintaimu dengan cara sebagaimana kamu kehendaki, tidak berarti dia tidak mencintaimu sepenuh hatinya
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
Teman yang sejati adalah seorang yang menggapai tanganmu dan menyentuh hatimu
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
Cara paling ngga enak kehilangan seseorang adalah dengan duduk disebelahnya dan tau bahwa kau ngga mungkin memilikinya
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
Jangan pernah murung, bahkan ketika kau sedih sekalipun, karena kau ngga pernah tau sudah berapa banyak orang yang jatuh cinta pada senyummu
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Untuk dunia mungkin kau hanya satu orang, tapi untuk satu orang kau mungkin adalah seluruh dunia baginya
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
Jangan buang-buang waktu dengan cowo/cewe yang ngga mau buang2 waktunya denganmu
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
Mungkin kehendak Tuhan adalah kita bertemu dengan beberapa orang yang ngga cocok sebelum bertemu dengan yang cocok, sebab jika akhirnya ketemu yang cocok, kita tau bagaimana bersyukur yang sesungguhnya
10.. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
Jangan menangisi yang sudah berlalu, tersenyumlah karena hal itu bisa terjadi.
11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
Jadikanlah dirimu orang yang lebih baik dan kenalilah dirimu sendiri, sebelum kau mencoba mengenali orang lain dan mengharapkan mereka mengenali dirimu
12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
Jangan terlalu ngotot, sesuatu yang baik biasanya datang ketika kau tidak mengharapkannya
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
INGATLAH: SEGALA SESUATU YANG TERJADI PASTI ADA HIKMAH DIBALIKNYA

Actor...
Life is only a performance
Humans are just mere actors playing their roles to make the show successful
Actors play different roles each time
It is impossible for them to keep playing the same characters because once the show ends, a new show with different story line will begin
The actors have to leave everything they have done behind and start all over again
Those playing protagonists might now play Antagonists and vice versa
There seems to be no hard feeling within themselves wanting to retain what they've got in the previous play
Once the show has ended.... That's it...
A new chapter will begin and all the actors will just have to move on....
Another Homework to be done....

Past, Present, Future.....
HIDUP HANYA 3 HARI
Yang pertama: Hari kemarin. (PAST)
Anda tak bisa mengubah apa pun yang telah terjadi.
Anda tak bisa menarik perkataan yang telah terucapkan.
Anda tak mungkin lagi menghapus kesalahan;
dan mengulangi kegembiraan yang anda rasakan kemarin.
Biarkan hari kemarin lewat; lepaskan saja...
Yang kedua: Hari esok. (FUTURE)
Hingga mentari esok hari terbit,
Anda tak tahu apa yang akan terjadi.
Anda tak bisa melakukan apa-apa esok hari.
Anda tak mungkin sedih atau ceria di esok hari.
Esok hari belum tiba; biarkan saja...
Yang tersisa kini hanyalah : Hari ini. (PRESENT)
Pintu masa lalu telah tertutup;
Pintu masa depan pun belum tiba.
Pusatkan saja diri anda untuk hari ini.
Anda dapat mengerjakan lebih banyak hal hari ini
bila anda mampu memaafkan hari kemarin dan melepaskan
ketakutan akan esok hari.
Hiduplah hari ini. Karena, masa lalu dan masa depan
hanyalah permainan pikiran yang rumit.
Hiduplah apa adanya.
Karena yang ada hanyalah hari ini; hari ini yang abadi.
Perlakukan setiap orang dengan kebaikan hati dan
rasa hormat, meski mereka berlaku buruk pada anda.
Cintailah seseorang sepenuh hati hari ini,
karena mungkin besok cerita sudah berganti.
Ingatlah bahwa anda menunjukkan penghargaan pada
orang lain bukan karena siapa mereka, tetapi karena
siapakah diri anda sendiri.
Jadi teman,
jangan biarkan masa lalu mengekangmu atau
masa depan membuatmu bingung, lakukan yang terbaik.
HARI INI dan lakukan SEKARANG juga!!!!!!
The day will come when you will review your life
and be thankful for every minute of it.
Every hurt,every sorrow, every joy, every
celebration, every moment of your life will be a treasure.
This is why today is called a PRESENT

Courage....
One of the things I really want at the moment is perhaps a little bit of courage in myself....
Sometimes I wonder why I end up taking another turn and detour from my main road....
I could just keep moving forward, given that I've got all it takes....
But still... sigh....
I know oral alpha1 blocker is not to be used during breastfeeding and pregnancy..... Janice's told me before...
Yet when I am about to tell my patient to go for Nasal spray or Paracetamol..... I end up asking Karen to tell the patient exactly the same things on my mind....
Need to be more confident and spontaneous.......

Pharmacist...
It's a shame.... that I don't even know what to do during emergency....
What I've learnt all along are not relevant...
Heck with Health professional, when I don't even have a single idea on wat's going on....
I don't even have any idea on how to treat...
And the worst and most embarassing is....
I don't even have the courage to approach it....
What a limitation a pharmacist has eh?
Perhaps I should really transfer to Medicine...
they are first point of contact in emergency....
Everyone was asking for doctors ONLY...
Still those doctors wouldn't know much about the stuffs they prescribed.... which in the end their patients depend on....
Yet, I find myself requiring the latter as well...
What a joke...
Knowledge about therapy only isn't sufficient....
I need more...
both the doctor's and pharmacist's skills....
would be awesome...
I crave not for the surgical skills.....
Only to the extent of diagnosis and emergency resuscitation....
would balance stuffs up....
Way to go were I to reach out to my goals....

Rules of Thumb????
1. Jika sudah terjadi masalah, tdk harus dihindari (bingung), tapi HARUS DIHADAPI dengan tenang (dipikirkan jalan keluarnya) dan pasti selesai/ ada jalan keluarnya.
2. Menghadapi semua hal, tdk boleh berpikir negatif, seperti: "saya pasti tdk mampu", "saya tdk bisa", dan seterusnya. Tapi selalu berpikir positif, seperti: "saya bisa, pasti ada jalan keluarnya" dan lain lain.
3. Sudah dan senang semuanya tergantung pikiran saja!! ( Pikiran adalah pelopor!!). Jadi jaga pikiran kita baik - baik. Jangan pikir yang jelek/negatif. Selalu berpikir yang positif (baik).
4. Segala kesulitan/kesusahan akan berakhir. sebesar apapun masalahnya akan selesai juga dengan berjalannya waktu. Seperti pepatah mengatakan : TIDAK ADA PESTA YANG TIDAK BERAKHIR.
5. Orang yg sukses 85% ditentukan dari sikap/prilaku, 15% baru ditentukan ketrampilan. Jadi sikap kita dalam hidup ini sangat penting.
6. Segala sesuatu berubah (anicca). Kita tdk perlu susah. Misalnya : sekarang susahnya, selanjutnya pasti berubah menjadi senang. sekarang ada orang yang tdk senang pada kita, suatu saat nanti akan baik juga.
7. Hukum karma, berarti berbuat baik akan mendapat hasil baik dan sebaliknya, seperti tanam padi, pasti panen padi. Ingat!! Usahakan setiap saat selalu berbuat (tanam) kebaikan agar mendapatkan (panen) kebaikan. Jgn melakukan kejahatan. Dan jgn berharap mendapat balasan dari perbuatan baik kita!!!
8. Kesehatan asalah paling nomor satu (berhaga). Jaga kesehatan kita dengan olahraga, istirahat yang cukup dan jangan makan sembarangan.
9. Hidup ini penuh dengan masalah/persoalan/penderitaan. Jadi kita sdh tahu TIDAK MUNGKIN SELALU LANCAR/TENANG. Siapkan mental, tabah, sabar dan tenaga untuk menghadapinya. itulah kenyataan hidup yang harus dihadapi oleh setiap manusia.
10. Masa depan seseorang sangat tergantung pada sikap dan buku buku yang dibaca. Jadi membaca sangat penting dan menentukan masa depan seseorang.
11. Jangan membicarakan kejelekan orang lain, karena kita akan dinilai jelek oleh orang yg mendengarkannya.
12. Pergaulan sangat penting dan merupakan salah satu kunci sukses. Boleh bergaul dengan orang jahat maupun baik asal kita HARUS TAHU DIRI/JANGAN TERPENGARUH LINGKUNGAN. Lebih baik lagi apabila kita bisa menuntun yang jahat ke jalan yang benar.
13. Budi orang tua, tidak dapat dibayar dengan apapun juga. begitu juga dengan budi orang2 yang telah membantu kita.
14. Setiap manusia memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan. Jadi jangan minder dengan kekurangan kita. dan jangan iri dengan kelebihan orang. HARGAILAH DIRIMU APA ADANYA!!!
15. JANGAN MEMPERTENTANGKAN (MEMPERDEBATKAN) hal hal kecil yang tdk berguna dengan siapapun juga.
16. Kunci sukses dlm hidup ini, selalu bersemangat, berusaha, disiplin, sabar, bekerja keras, rajin berdoa/sembahyang, banyak berbuat baik serta tdk blh berputus asa.
17. Jangan Menilai orang dari Harta(kekayaan), penampilan ataupun kondisi fisik. Semua orang itu SAMA!!!
2. Menghadapi semua hal, tdk boleh berpikir negatif, seperti: "saya pasti tdk mampu", "saya tdk bisa", dan seterusnya. Tapi selalu berpikir positif, seperti: "saya bisa, pasti ada jalan keluarnya" dan lain lain.
3. Sudah dan senang semuanya tergantung pikiran saja!! ( Pikiran adalah pelopor!!). Jadi jaga pikiran kita baik - baik. Jangan pikir yang jelek/negatif. Selalu berpikir yang positif (baik).

A Mother...
Mom, I am grateful to you
For nurturing me up till now....
For all your love, education and kindness you provide me with...
For your concern and being worried when I am not by your side...
For all the care you give, which I am or not aware of...
I understand that I wouldn't be able to return all the kindness you have given....
But one thing I can assure you off... your harship in rearing me wouldn't be in vain...
Thanks Mom.... Love you....
Ten Types of Kindness a Mother Bestowed upon her Children
1. The Kindness Of Providing Protection And Care While The Child Is In The Womb
The causes and conditions from accumulated kalpas grows heavy, Until in this life the child ends up in its mother womb. As the months pass, the five vital organs develop; Within seven weeks the six sense organs start to grow. The mother's body becomes as heavy as a mountain; The stillness and movements of the foetus are like a kalpic wild disaster. The mother's fine clothes no longer hang properly, And so her mirror gathers dust.
2. The Kindness Of Bearing Suffering During Birth
The pregnancy lasts for ten lunar months, And culminates in difficult labour at the approach of the birth. Meanwhile, each morning the mother is seriously ill. And during everyday is drowsy and sluggish. Her fear and agitation are difficult to describe; Grieving and tears fill her breast. She painfully tells her family that she is only afraid that death will overtake her.
3. The Kindness Of Forgetting All The Pain Once The Child Has Been Born
On the day the compassionate mother bears the child, Her five organs all open wide, Leaving her totally exhausted in body and mind. The blood flows as from a slaughtered lamb; Yet, upon hearing that the child is healthy, She is overcome with redoubling joy, But after the joy, the grief returns, And the agony wrenches her very insides.
4. The Kindness Of Eating The Bitter Herself And Saving The Sweet For The Child
The kindness of both parents is profound and deep, Their care and devotion never cease. Never resting, the mother saves the sweet for the child, And without complaint she swallows the bitter herself. Her love is weighty and her emotion difficult to bear; her kindness is deep and so is her compassion. Only wanting the child to get its fill, The compassionate mother doesn't speak of her own hunger.
5. The Kindness Of Moving The Child To A Dry Place And Lying In The Wet Herself
The mother is willing to be wet so that the child can be dry. With her two breasts she satisfies its Hunger and thirst; Covering it with her sleeve, she protects it from the wind and cold. In the kindness, her head rarely rests on the pillow, And yet she does this happily. So long as the child is comfortable, The kind mother seeks no solace for herself.
6. The Kindness Of Suckling The Child At Her Breast And Nourishing And Bringing Up The Child
The kind mother is like the great earth. The stern father is like the encompassing heaven: One covers from above; the other supports from below. The kindness of parents is such that They know no hatred or anger toward their offspring, And are not displeased, even if the child is born crippled. After the mother carries the child in her womb and gives birth to it, The parents care for and protect it together until the end of their days.
7. The Kindness Of Washing Away The Unclean
Originally she had a pretty face and a beautiful body, Her spirit was strong and vibrant, Her eyebrows were like fresh green willows, And her complexion would have put a rose to shame. But her kindness is so deep she will forego a beautiful face. Although washing away the filth injuries her constitution, The kind mother acts solely for the sake of her sons and daughters And willingly allows her beauty to fade.
8. The Kindness Of Always Thinking Of The Child When It Has Travelled Far
The death of loved ones is difficult to endure. But separation is also painful. When the child travels afar, The mother worries in her village. From morning until night, her heart is with her child, And a thousand tears fall from her eyes. Like the monkey weeping silently in love for her child, Bit-by-bit her heart is broken.
9. The Kindness Of Deep Care And Devotion
How heavy is the parent's kindness and emotional concern! Their kindness is deep and difficult to repay. Willingly they undergo suffering on their child's behalf. If the child toils, the parents are uncomfortable. If they hear that he has travelled afar, They worry that at night he will have to lie in the cold. Even a moment's pain suffered by their sons or daughters Will cause the parents sustained distress.
10. The Kindness Of Ultimate Pity And Sympathy
The kindness of parents is profound and important. Their tender concern never ceases. From the moment they awake each day, their thoughts are with their children. Whether the children are near or far away, the parents think of them often. Even if a mother lives for a hundred years, She will constantly worry about her eighty-year-old child! Do you wish to know when such kindness and love ends? It doesn't even begin to dissipate until her life is over.
