Anekdot: Senyum

~ Solehah' Cousins: Odah, Aton, Duan & Haikal ~
Kekerapan membawa Solehah menjalani rawatan di pelbagai hospital kerajaan tidak begitu dirasai kepenatannya. Hal demikian adalah kerana selain menerima layanan (95.5%) yang memuaskan, mesra & amat bertimbang rasa, kami juga mengalami beberapa insiden yang mampu membuatkan kami tersenyum. Antaranya:
  1. Pernah ditanya oleh seorang jururawat sama ada penulis tahu menulis ketika diminta mengisi borang pendaftaran kemasukan ke wad. Sambil senyum penulis menjawab tahu sikit-sikit.
  2. Pernah juga ditanya oleh seorang jururawat sama ada 'bos' penulis ada balik kampung. Setelah difahami yang dimaksudkan ialah 'Pak Lah' (sekarang Tun) sebagai 'immediate bos', penulis menafikannya. Namun, lagi kuat dinafikan lagi tidak dipercayai. Akhirnya, penulis hanya mampu senyum, apabila juruawat itu berkata, "Kalau mengaku pun apa salahnya, kami bukan nak minta tolong apa-apa."
  3. Ketika sedang menunggu Solehah & isteri di tempat menunggu teksi di hadapan sebuah hospital, seorang hamba Allah bertanya sama ada penulis seorang pemandu teksi. Penulis senyum seakan mengiakan - agar yang bertanya berasa selesa. Namun apabila diminta hantar ke suatu destinasi, penulis terpaksa berterus terang.
  4. Sering ditanya sama ada Solehah seorang cucu. Lazimnya, penulis akan hanya senyum tanpa memberi jawapan. Pernah Solehah yang mendengar soalan tersebut berkata sambil ketawa besar, "Ye, ye ... ayah sudah tua!"
  5. Kerana susah hendak melintas jalan di dalam kawasan sebuah hospital (kenderaan tidak mahu berhenti) semasa hendak menghantar Odah (another cousin of Solehah), penulis berpura-pura berjalan macam orang patah kaki untuk meminta laluan.

Personal: FAQ

~ Solehah & her Mak Teh at UUM 2005 Konvokesyen ~
These were the FAQ (frequently asked questions) from the unknown individuals (strangers) to her parents when they saw Solehah:

1. Can she talk?
2. Does she go to school?
3. Is it to the normal school?
4. Why don't you send her to a special school (for the handicap)?
5. Can she read?
6. Can she write?
Catatan:
1. Dalam Peperiksaan Suku Tahun yang baru diumumkan, Alhamdulillah, Solehah dapat nombor 1 di dalam Kelas 2 Kasih. She got all A's except for English & Scinece (B only). Anyway we are happy plus a little worry since now she is in 2 Sabar (the streaming class - all the best students there).
2. InsyaAllah Solehah will attend another 'konvokesyen, at UUM this year. Congratulation Siti Nazrah (Solehah's Cousin - Mak Teh's daughter) who had her 'konvokesyen' recently at UUM.

Tahfifah: On 'Intolerable Parents'

~ Solehah's Mum & brothers - Adi & Zakwan ~
Sometimes parents do things that are intolerable to their children & they (the children) often have this in mind, "I can't stand what they are doing!"
Bear in mind that their intention is always good. Only parents do the best for their children. They have tried very hard to LOVE their chlidren with "the BEST way they know, even though it might not be the best way for the children."
Catatan:
So, look at the HEART & not the BEHAVIOR!!! Love your parents while they are still around.

Personal: Happy Birthday

~ The Greatest Gift ~
The lovely girl above (the greatest gift) is 8 years old today - 23rd. March 2009. This girl is loved by all her family members. We all wish her the best. Be a good girl - sihat, ceria, pandai & beriman.
Catatan:
Tiada majlis sambutan secara besar-besaran kerana tok saudara Solehah berada dalam keadaan tenat di hospital.

Personal: Best Friend

~ Solehah, Teh & Congkak: 21 Mac 2009 ~
Pada dasarnya Solehah tidak mempunyai ramai rakan. Rakan sebaya juga seolah-olah tidak begitu berminat bermain dengan Solehah. Ketidakupayaan fizikal yang dialami membataskan Solehah untuk berkawan & bermain dengan kanak-kanak lain.
Namum Solehah tetap mempunyai seorang rakan karib (tinggal di kawasan yang sama) iaitu Teh (Nurul Hidayah Mohd. Noor). Teh ialah cucu kepada Cikgu Tahir & Cikgu Norain (pesara). Sudah dua tahun mereka sekelas. Teh selalu dihantar ke rumah untuk bermain-main dengan Solehah. Teh juga selalu membantu Solehah semasa di sekolah.
Catatan:
Cikgu Norain juga pernah memberi tuisyen percuma kepada abang Solehah.

Tahfifah: On 'Learning'

~ Solehah & Walking Exercise ~
Some of us have very good memory while some don't. Those who have good memory have tapped into the power of the mind & know how to make full use of it.Sad to say, normally in school students spend 11 years learning but most never been taught the art of learning (e.g: how to have good memory).
You can never change the past but you can decide on your future. Read something on 'learning skills' immediately! Learn how to learn before you start learning!
Catatan:
The equipment above (parallel bar) was self-made.

Personal: Solehah & the 4th. Operation

~ Solehah's right foot after the POP being removed on 20/06/08 ~
The 4th. operation was done on Friday, 18/04/08 at Hospital Tuanku Fauziah (HTF), Kangar. It was to improve the 1st. operation which was done earlier at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). It was attended by Mr. Zulkiflee Osman (Pakar Perunding Ortopedik) and Miss Norashikin (Pakar Bedah Ortopedik). Both came all the way from Institut Ortopedik & Traumatologi, HKL. They were assisted by other doctors form HTF.
The operation was to shorten the medial column & lengthen the lateral column of the right foot. The operation ran (> 3 hours) smoothly & Solehah's right leg was POP (cement) up to the knee.
We took Solehah once to HKL (as instructed) on 14/05/08 to see Mr. Zulkiflee Osman. We travelled a day earlier as Solehah's second brother (Zakwan) had to report at the Royal Military College for the preparation to enter INTEC (International Education Centre), UiTM Shah Alam.
The POP was only removed on 20/06/08 at HTF. Alhamdulillah, the 4th. operation has improved the structure of Solehah's right foot. As a result, she could walk better - without aids of course.

Tahfifah: On 'Help'

~ Berbasikal : menguatkan otot untuk berdiri & berjalan ~
Everybody needs help. Don't be shy to ask for it.
While, pride is an egoistic state of mind. It is worthless but a fool is willing to pay for it.
Don't allow shyness and pride to stop you from asking for help.
Catatan:
Itulah 'pegangan' di sebalik kejayaan bagaimana Solehah boleh berjalan. Kami tidak putus-putus (selama 5 tahun) meminta pertolongan Allah. Dengan izinNya, kami dipermudahkan - mendapat pertolongan banyak pihak & akhirnya Solehah boleh berjalan.

Tahfifah:On 'Take Charge'

~ Solehah: Before the 5th. Operation ~
(Photo from Nadwah's Blog: http://a-precious-gift-umairah.blogspot.com/)
Are we intelligent enough?
YES! We are as long as we are willing to work hard and don't give up no matter what happens. Anyway, one of my lecturers said that he could even train a monkey to score all "A's".
So we definitely CAN unless we are ...
Catatan:
Take charge of your thoughts, you can do what you want with them!
