Assalamu Alaykum (Peace be upon you all) I was still conducting my history taking with a patient in the out-patient department under TCVS (Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery) when I received a sad news. A good friend of mine died just the morning of that day in the hospital. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raajiun.

But I always love to keep record of what's happening to me. Lest other people who will find my journal another 50 years from now would know nothing about me. And here I am. = = = = = From the Novel: "Puddang Jiyanji-an" An excerpt from the Diary of Mukhtar Jundam August 23, 1998 "How would it feel to DIE suddenly in a small market you do not even know where..." You were shot with a gun; and you're falling to the ground. A man who happened to know you (or thought knew you; and certainly you haven't met him before) had just fired a bullet, piercing through your heart...  ...
