Embryology - the scientific study of embryo.

Embryology is a subject that never fails to amazed me. It also one of the most crazy hard subject tho, no lies. You need all of your imagination ability to understand it. Maybe its because we are learning about something that can't be seen in real life. Everything happens in the IUL (intra-uterine life).

So cerita dia, harini belajar pasal nervous system development. Dalam pada payah nak memahamkan apa yang Dr. Ravishankar cakap kat depan, I cant help myself from being completely amazed by His finest creation, the human. I am very amazed on how each and every cell knows exactly what to be and where to go. Surprised on how the small cell that pinch out of epiblast layer during the folding of neural tube end up being neural crest cell which in turn give rise to a whole new set of cells with variety of functions.

Pastu ofc la kan bila belajar embryology mesti takleh lari dari congenital defects. Spina bifida - Birth defect resulting in a cleft in spinal column through which the spinal membranes and spinal cord may protrude. Congenital hydrocephalus - Abnormal accumulation of fluid (usually CSF) in the cerebral ventricles which result in the enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain, destroying much of the neural tissue.

And finally, anencephaly... a lethal birth defect in which most of the brain and parts of skull are missing; absence of encephalon. Terdiam. Tergamam. Bayi yang dilahirkan tanpa otak, a vital organ that control pretty much everything in our body. Allahu. Sedih. Nak nangis. Kesian. Bercampur baur dah perasaan time tu.

Suddenly, something hit me right in my mind. Kalau nak difikirkan, bole je Allah biar aku lahir dengan congenital defects yang bermacam macam tu. Bole je aku yang dapat anencephaly tu. Tapi, did He let that happened to me? Did, He? No. He did not.

Instead of that, Dia izinkan aku untuk dilahirkan dalam keadaan fizikal dan mental yang baik. Bagi otak untuk digunakan and akal untuk berfikir. Tapi apa yang aku buat? Apa yang aku balas? Jalan pun masih mendongak ke langit. Nak beramal pun masih berkira. Usrah? huh lagilah julung julung kali. Pastu masih ade hati berangan nak jumpa Nabi?

Kenapalah aku yang dilahirkan dalam keadaan akal and fizikal sempurna ni payah sangat nak bersyukur? Buat maksiat je memanjang. Allah dah bagi pinjam semua pancaindera ni tapi aku lebih banyak sia siakan daripada manfaatkan.

 "Sungguh, ini adalah peringatan. Barangsiapa menghendaki, nescaya dia mengambil jalan (yang lurus) kepada Tuhan-Nya." 
(73:19)
And I shall take this as a reminder to myself. A reminder to never abuse the nikmat that He lend me. Cause when I am taking all this nikmat for granted, there is someone out there struggling and desperately want this nikmat. And also a reminder to always spare my heart, soul and life for Him and Only Him.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. May this path lead me to Him.

Lots of Love, AE
