life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

when you think everything's okay

and everything's going right

I have had my shares in life. Ups and downs.

Yesterday I was worried about something, and this time, it is not some stupid petty matter. It is something concerning my health and well being. I can assure you I was not merely being paranoid because I have once had the same health problem and had undergo the advised treatment.

And now after 5 years, I am having the same problem again. So I followed my guts and went to have a check up at Jalan Raja Muda today. Sigh. It is the same problem, but like before, alhamdulillah it is nothing major, and there is no urgency for treatment. Cuma perlu annual check up. I was so scared sebab kebarangkalian ia untuk jadi masalah yang besar adalah 50-50. Tapi alhamdulillah. Syukur sangat. I thought it has something to do with my eating habits or lifestyle or lack of exercise. No. It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with me being one of the unlucky 2/5.

And thus I take this as a reminder from Allah. Ujian or kifarah. I hope and aspire to be a better Muslim, and I promise myself to take better care of my health.

and life has a funny way of helping you out

when you think everything's gone wrong

and everything blows up in your face
