dementia

it must be frustrating when you can't recall your life. even worse, when you can't create new memories. new memories with people, new memories about what you've just experience. and having a keen 3rd year medical student bombarding you with questions to solve your life mystery isn't really helping...
the patient this morning. he was in the elderly ward. he seemed alright. after a while chatting, i could see his eyes get a bit watery. moistened and red-ish. possibly trying to hold back tears.

Alhamdulillah, i think we should appreciate people more. people whom Allah has allowed us to meet. before we forget about them. either by purpose or by nature's course. with each encounter, i'm sure we were able to gain something. even better, if we have 'given' something to them in return. Shahadatul Haq.

if i was only able to remember certain pieces of my life, i would probably choose the good and significant one's. just to make me feel satisfied with the time i've been given to live. which brings me to this matter, what accounts for being 'significant' things in our life? what ARE our actual priorities?


p/s: today Mus cooked me pasta for dinnah. sweet~ :D - i shall write this down just in case i forget, so you can remind me whenever i do
