Al-Fatihah To Danish Muazzam

Tuesday, 30th June 2009 has been the saddest day for all of CIN as we learned that one of our colleague youngest son - Danish Muazzam Bin Ahmad had pass away earlier this morning due to Septicemia.  For those who don't know what is Septicemia, it is an infection in the blood stream. 

All CIN managed to attend the funeral and managed to go to the cemetery together as well. We all then saw Uncle's broken hearted look and tearful eyes.  As a human being and close friends of his, we all broke down into tears as well especially, when we saw one of us is in deep pain. The bond of friendship was there, stronger than before. There are no words that we can say to comfort him other than just to be patience and strong. 

Our hearts go out to Uncle Ahmad's family and love ones and our prayers goout to the late Danish Muazzam. Al-Fatihah

The Beginning of Tomorrow

Hello everyone, 

Starting tomorrow we - CIN are going to undergo an intensive revision together our beloved lecturer Mrs Arihati, to prepare us for the up and coming examination. At first, she told us that our Deputy Dean asked her to inform us that we have to finish our clinical placement first before undergoing the revision but however, thanks to someone special, the whole clinical thing was cancelled and we all are allowed to stay in IM or the new name is IHS to do our revision. 

I' am looking forward to this whereby everybody is going to be focused and start putting their minds together to achieve such greatness. With that, I close this post with a few pictures of me and my fellow colleagues doing our PBL session within the last few days in IM.

Heads off to The King of POP - Michael Jackson

Photo is taken from Alan Teo's Blog

Hello everyone,

It still has not hit me. It feels so strange. Michael Jackson is dead. He was only 50 years old, a milestone age. He just celebrated the 25th anniversary of "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and re-released it in February.

People often underestimate the power of music, and the effect that it has on us. We sometimes forget how a great song with a feel-good message lifts us up, and makes us smile and remember the place we had the most fun dancing to it and with whom.

I never learned to do his moonwalk dance move, but like everyone else, I was blown away when I saw him unveil it on Motown's famous 25th anniversary TV special in 1984 ( Via YouTube)

I know he had been dealing with a lot these last few years. I hope that at the time of his passing he was in a happy place. Reportedly, he had been rehearsing in Los Angeles for the last two months, preparing for his London dates. His 50-year-old life may have been short, but it was impactful. His accomplishments are tremendous.

I offer my sincere condolences to his children, parents, siblings, and other family members, and to his friends and fans.

Too Focus?

Hey all,  I think today is pretty much a stressful day for me. May be it's because of the whole PBL session with my best friends or something else, I don't know. All I'm aware of is feeling like my brain wants to explode. Huh, anyway, I decided to take a few pictures using my laptop webcam just to de-stressed myself.

H1N1 Cases In Brunei

All Returning Students From Abroad.

Bandar Seri Begawan - Four more new influenza A (H1N1) cases were reported, making the total number of cases detected so far in the sultanate to six, the Ministry of Health said yesterday, adding that all the cases involved Brunei citizens.

The third case involved an 18-year-old male teenager who was also one of the contacts of the first case reported earlier. The patient first developed the symptoms on Sunday, June 21, 2009.

The fourth flu patient is a 20-year-old male student currently studying in the UK who returned home on June 18, and developed the symptoms on June 21, 2009.

Meanwhile, the fifth case involved a 13-year-old girl who travelled to Kuala Lumpur along with her family on Tuesday, June 16, 2009. All family members were having symptoms when they returned to Brunei on Friday, June 19, 2009.

The sixth case is a brother of the fifth patient, an 11-year-old boy who was also travelling with the group. All of these cases are currently undergoing treatment at Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Hj Al-Muhtadee Billah Hospital in Tutong and are in good condition.

The Ministry is now currently tracing all those who had close contact with the patients and those who are at risk will be quarantined.

Following the surge in the H1N1 case, the Ministry urged the public not be alarmed and worried. At the same time, the public should extend their cooperation by complying with the health advice given by the Ministry.

They include avoiding or postponing travel to the infected areas, to immediately seek examination or health treatment should they develop symptoms of the disease, especially those who have just arrived from abroad, to reduce public activities and social interaction within seven days after returning from abroad and to take precautionary steps by practising self-hygiene, especially when visiting foreign countries.

The Ministry of Health on Saturday said Brunei confirmed its first case of A (H1N1) influenza when a student was found infected with the flu virus more than 12 hours after arriving home on flight B1098 from London Heathrow on June 16, 2009. The student was confirmed to have contracted the virus after Rapid Result and other tests were carefully executed.

The 19-year-old Brunei student studying in the United Kingdom is currently on holiday. The student arrived here on June 16 but only showed H1N1 symptoms on June 19 evening. The student had his first emergency treatment at RIPAS Hospital on June 20 before being transferred for treatment and observation to the quarantine centre in Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah Hospital in Tutong.

The ministry believed the student was infected while in the UK, due to the fact that the student only showed signs of H1N1 symptoms three days after arrival, which is more than 20 hours, the ministry will not be contacting other passengers of flight BI098.

On Sunday, the Ministry once again announced that a second case was detected involving a Bruneian girl aged 16 years who went to Singapore on June 12.

The patient started to develop symptoms only on June 19, a day after arriving home from flight B10422.

She went to seek medical treatment at the Outpatient Services Bandar Seri Begawan Health Centre, Jalan Ong Sum Ping on June 20, 2009.

The patient is reported to be in good condition. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

7 Tips To Remove ........................

Hey, today while I was browsing through the net, I’d found this interesting article by Dr Moashing Ni. His article mentioned about this 7 ways to lose a bad mood. I was really interested reading his article and thought that I should share it with you guys.

In the article he elaborated it clearly that a bad mood not only gives you a gloomy outlook, it also lowers your immune function, leading the way to illness. Here are some suggestions to lift your mood, your spirit, and your health. 

Step One: Laughter Method

"Laugh Therapy," pioneered by Norman Cousins, has turned out to have real substance. Research has discovered that laughter and joy boost immune functions, especially the production of the natural killer cells that help defend the body from illness and cancer.

Laughter also increases the release of endorphins - compounds that give you a sense of well-being  - in your brain. Without a doubt, joyful people liver longer and healthier lives. So read your favourite comics, watch your favourite comedies, and laugh it up.

Step Two: Amino Acid for Restored Mindset

When an imbalance or deficiency is creating a bad mood, the Europeans use supplements of a natural compound found in human cells to regulate mood and restore a healthy mindset. SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) is produced from methionine, an amino acid that plays a role in the production of uplifting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

One study indicated that SAMe worked on patients who had unsuccessful results with conventional antidepressants. To get a boost from SAMe, take a supplement combining it with vitamins B6 and B12.

Step Three: Hands on Healing

Human touch increases the production of endorphins, growth hormone, and DHEA, all of which lengthen your life span and lower the negative impact of stress. Studies have found that patients who are regularly touched recover faster than those who are not touched. So give someone a hug and feel both of your moods improve.

Step Four: Boost Your Youth Hormones

You don't need pills to flood your body with a rejuvenating flood of growth hormones. Research has found that doing squats and leg presses will greatly increase your natural production of the "youth hormone". Increased growth hormone translates to an elevated mood, among other physical benefits. Keep it up with weight training, knee bends, push-ups, and rowing.
Boost Your "Youth Hormones"

Step Five: Take a Bracing Breath

Breathing correctly is important for dispelling the toxins and wastes from your body; in fact, it is estimated that we expel only about 30 percent of toxins in our bodies through the bowels and bladder-the rest is all respiratory. Breathing is also a great way to clear your mind, boost your energy, and improve your mood. Practice deep, slow, rhythmic, breathing daily with mind-body disciplines such as tai chi, yoga, qigong, and meditation.

Step Six: Smell The Joy

Research has shown that smell has a definite impact on our bodies and minds. When you stimulate the olfactory nerves inside your nose, you activate the limbic system of your brain, which is associated with moods and memory. This concept is instrumental to aromatherapy, a natural  health tradition that makes use of the healing powers of plants with strong scents.

Aromatherapy recommends treating depression with jasmine, eucalyptus for exhilaration, and grapefruit to increase alertness and joy. Just put a dab of the essential oils from these plants on your temples, back of your neck, or acupressure points. Another option?  Boil the herb in water and inhale the steam through your nose. 

Step Seven: Feel Fine With Flowers

There is a reason that flowers are the traditional get-well gesture. Colourful flowers have a powerful influence on moods; they can uplift a patient's mood and even combat stress. One study found that during a five-minute typing assignment, people sitting next to a flowering bouquet were more relaxed than those who sat near foliage-only plants.

I hope all these seven tips are helpful for you. I hope you guys find it useable and useful.

Dream's Emotional Meaning

Wish Fulfillment? No. But Dreams (and Sleep) Have Meaning....

Dreams may not be the secret window into the frustrated desires of the unconscious that Sigmund Freud first posited in 1899, but growing evidence suggests that dreams - and, more so, sleep - are powerfully connected to the processing of human emotions. 

According to new research presented last week at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Seattle, adequate sleep may underpin our ability to understand complex emotions properly in waking life. "Sleep essentially is resetting the magnetic north of your emotional compass," says Matthew Walker, director of the Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab at the University of California, Berkeley.

A recent study by Walker and his colleagues examined how rest - specifically, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep - influences our ability to read emotions in other people's faces. In the small analysis of 36 adults, volunteers were asked to interpret the facial expressions of people in photographs, following either a 60- or 90-minute nap during the day or with no nap. Participants who had reached REM sleep (when dreaming most frequently occurs) during their nap were better able to identify expressions of positive emotions like happiness in other people, compared with participants who did not achieve REM sleep or did not nap at all. Those volunteers were more sensitive to negative expressions, including anger and fear.

Past research by Walker and colleagues at Harvard Medical School, which was published in the journal Current Biology, found that in people who were sleep deprived, activity in the prefrontal lobe - a region of the brain involved in controlling emotion - was significantly diminished. He suggests that a similar response may be occurring in the nap-deprived volunteers, albeit to a lesser extent, and that it may have its roots in evolution. "If you're walking through the jungle and you're tired, it might benefit you more to be hypersensitive to negative things," he says. The idea is that with little mental energy to spare, you're emotionally more attuned to things that are likely to be the most threatening in the immediate moment. Inversely, when you're well rested, you may be more sensitive to positive emotions, which could benefit long-term survival, he suggests: "If it's getting food, if it's getting some kind of reward, finding a wife - those things are pretty good to pick up on."

Our daily existence is largely influenced by our ability "to understand our societal interactions, to understand someone else's emotional state of mind, to understand the expression on their face," says Ninad Gujar, a senior research scientist at Walker's lab and lead author of the study, which was recently submitted for publication. "These are the most fundamental processes guiding our personal and professional lives."

REM sleep appears to not only improve our ability to identify positive emotions in others; it may also round out the sharp angles of our own emotional experiences. Walker suggests that one function of REM sleep - dreaming, in particular - is to allow the brain to sift through that day's events, process any negative emotion attached to them, then strip it away from the memories. He likens the process to applying a "nocturnal soothing balm." REM sleep, he says, "tries to ameliorate the sharp emotional chips and dents that life gives you along the way." 

That palliative safety-valve quality of sleep may be hampered when we fail to reach REM sleep or when REM sleep is disrupted, Walker says. "If you don't let go of the emotion, what results is a constant state of anxiety," he says. 

At the biological level, Walker explains, the "emotional rind" translates to sympathetic nervous-system activity during sleep: faster heart rate and the release of stress chemicals. Understanding why nightmares recur and how REM sleep facilitates emotional processing - or hinders it, when nightmares take place and perpetuate the physical stress symptoms - may eventually provide clues to effective treatments of painful mental disorders. Perhaps, even, by simply addressing sleeping habits, doctors could potentially interrupt the emotional cycle that can lead to suicide. "There is an opportunity for prevention," Bernert says.

The new findings highlight what researchers are increasingly recognizing as a two-way relationship between psychiatric disorders and disrupted sleep. "Modern medicine and psychiatry have consistently thought that psychological disorders seem to have co-occuring sleep problems and that it's the disorder perpetuating the sleep problems," says Walker. "Is it possible that, in fact, it's the sleep disruption contributing to the psychiatric disorder?"

Adam Lambert's Gay!!!!



Make-up wearing "American Idol" star Adam Lambert has ended the guessing game over his sexual orientation by confirming he is gay in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.Glam-rocker Lambert, 27, who finished runner-up to clean-cut Kris Allen in the television singing contest last month, told Rolling Stone he had been living openly as a gay man for several years.

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I'm gay," Lambert told Rolling Stone in its latest issue due on news stands Friday."I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I've been at clubs drunk making out with somebody in the corner."

Lambert, who wowed "Idol" judges with his extraordinary vocal range, was seen as the overwhelming favorite to take the title in the May 20 finale.However he lost in a final hyped as a smackdown between the conservative values of "red states" represented by Arkansas-based Allen and the liberal mores of "blue states" personified by the flamboyant Lambert.

Lambert meanwhile joked that he had been attracted to "Idol" nemesis Allen, who he shared a room with during the series."He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type -- except that he has a wife," Lambert said. "I mean he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight."

"American Idol" was exported to the United States from Britain in 2002, rapidly establishing itself as the most watched show on US television and pop-culture phenomenon.

The program aims to unearth the next big singing talent and past contestants such as Carrie Underwood and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson have gone on to forge successful careers in the entertainment industry.

Rara - The person who I can't live without

Dear Rara Selanjat,

Just when I think I've lost my way, something illuminates the dark; there you are leading the way; love shining from your heart.
Many friends have crossed my path and I thank God for them all. But I got an extra special blessing when your friendship answered my call. 

You stayed by my side every step, even when others fled, I know that because you're here, I can face whatever's ahead,
Your smile and laugh urge me on and encourage me to be strong, Your loving support helps me stand when the road is rough and long.

So much that I can thank God for my family and health but when he blessed me with you. God gave me more than wealth. Mortal words could never explain what you have come to be, you are my life, my world, my heart and you are EVERYTHING to me.

We have always been inseparable, well at least since we known each other. Best friends we stood side by side, It was always me and you. We always told each other secrets, there wasn’t anything we kept from each other, I loved you more than anything, you were like my sister.

From the first day till now, you got teased for hanging out with a guy, but still you never left me alone, you put me before the world. Then I fell in love with someone, and when I’m broken hearted, you were always there to help me get through it.You were always there for me, through the thick and thin, always you were there, being my best friend. 

No matter what happened to us or came in our way, you never left me all alone,  you were there to stay.

With Love: Amirul010
