Kehidupan Seorang Lepasan Diploma


Setelah sekian lama x menjenguk blog ni, mcm ade satu keinginan plak ari ni nak update post baru. Maklum la, hidup sbg penganggur ni bosan jugak sbnarnye. Tapi insya-Allah, xlame dah nak menganggur ni. Lepas ni dah start keje part time kat Jusco, alhamdulillah dpt jugak keje drpd lgsung xdpt. Senang atau susah keje tu bole setel lepas ni.

Dah hampir sebulan lepas abis praktikal kat Henry Butcher Malaysia Sdn Bhd, kadang2 rase rindu jugak dgn staf2 kat situ. Mcm2 pengalaman dapat mase praktikal kat situ, mmg best. Mase last day kat situ dpt plak offer dari bos suruh pegi convocation dinner utk valuer ngan estate agent, mmg seronok la mase tu. Dpt mkn sedap2, menggantikan malam pra-graduan yg xdpt nak pegi ari tu sbb mase tu clash dgn time sepupu kahwin. Lepas je abis praktikal tu, mule la aktiviti yg dah lame rancang...rehat sepuas-puasnye. Tapi baru seminggu "rehat saje" kat rumah tu, perasaan bosan mule datang.

Mase tu teringat plak pasal ceramah mengenai pelaburan emas. Mule la search mcm2 pasal emas. Mule2 ingat nak melabur saham emas. Tp bile bace balik kat Malaysia buat mase ni hanye saham emas dari Kuwait Finance House je yg disahkan mengikut syariat Islam. Mase tu baru la terpikir, bahaye gak rupenye kalau main redah mcm tu je. Kalau nak buat sesuatu perlukan ilmu dahulu sbb tanpa ilmu seseorang bole tersesat. Nak dapat ilmu plak kene ade guru. Alhamdulillah, lepas tu terjumpe satu blog ni yg byk mengajar pasal pelaburan emas. Mmg dari blog tu byk sy dapat belajar pasal pelaburan emas ni.

Sejujurnya selepas byk membaca dan mengkaji perkara ni, sy sgt tertarik dgn pelaburan emas dan pelaburan perak, khususnya Dinar dan Dirham. Dinar merupakan syiling emas manakala Dirham plak Syiling perak. Mengikut sejarah, harga emas naik dlm lebih kurg 20% setiap tahun. Nilai emas dikatakan kebal daripada inflasi. Untuk contoh yg mudah, lebih kurg 1400 tahun yg lalu seekor kambing bernilai 1 dinar, harga seekor kambing pada zaman skrg ni still 1 dinar. Menarik kan? Cube bandingkan dgn wang kertas skrg ni. Xperlu pegi smpai 1400 tahun lalu, cukup la 10 tahun lalu. RM10 pada tahun 1992 dgn RM10 pada tahun 2012, ape perbezaan yg kite bole nmpak?

Lepas dapat mcm2 pengetahuan pasal emas ni walaupun sy tau ilmu yg sy dpt baru skit, perasaan nak terlibat dlm bidang ni mule timbul. Sy teringat lg mase 1st ceramah pasal pelaburan emas ni, ade sorg penceramah tu tanye kat student, kat tgn die ade duit bernilai RM50, sape yg nak duit tu? Sume student yg ade ckp "saya nak!" Penceramah tu tanye lg skali. Jawapan masih same. Penceramah tu tanye byk kali, smpai la ade sorg student pegi dkt die dan ambil duit tu. Pengajaran yg nak disampaikan oleh penceramah tu adalah, kalau nak sesuatu, jgn ckp je, kene mulekan lgkah pertama. Dan saya mengambil langkah pertama sy, berkenalan dgn org2 yg arif mengenai emas ni.

Alhamdulillah, lepas berkenalan, sy jdkan pemilik blog yg byk membantu sy sbg mentor. Beliau jugak merupakan salah seorg dealer Public Gold, memudahkan lg urusan pembelian. Alhamdulillah jugak, sy memulakan lgkah pertama dlm pembelian emas dan perak dgn membeli 10 dirham sbg belian pertama. Rase rugi sbb xdpt beli 1 dinar sbb pada mase ni harga emas dan perak mmg tgh jatuh. Dulu 1 dinar dlm RM800, skrg ni jatuh smpai RM700. Disebabkan bajet yg xmencukupi, 10 dirham je yg mampu. Insya-Allah bile ade rezeki nnti, sy akan beli jugak 1 dinar.



10 Dirham yg pertama..:)

Skrg ni kene fokus utk keje plak. Cari duit, pastu simpan skit, gune skit, bg kat famili skit. Dalam mase yg same kene prepare utk keputusan kemasukan utk degree. Risau plak. Dgn PTPTN xsetel lg. Berikan petunjuk serta kekuatan kepada hamba mu ini Ya Allah.

SLE (Systematic Lupus Erythematosus)

   Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that may affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs.

Causes

   Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. This leads to long-term (chronic) inflammation.

   The underlying cause of autoimmune diseases is not fully known.

   SLE is much more common in women than men. It may occur at any age, but appears most often in people between the ages of 10 and 50. African Americans and Asians are affected more often than people from other races.

   SLE may also be caused by certain drugs.

Symptoms

   Symptoms vary from person to person, and may come and go. Almost everyone with SLE has joint pain and swelling. Some develop arthritis. Frequently affected joints are the fingers, hands, wrists, and knees.

   Other common symptoms include:
  • Chest pain when taking a deep breath
  • Fatigue
  • Fever with no other cause
  • General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
  • Hair loss
  • Mouth sores
  • Sensitivity to sunlight
  • Skin rash -- a "butterfly" rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose affects about half of people with SLE. The rash gets worse in sunlight. The rash may also be widespread.
  • Swollen lymph nodes
   Other symptoms depend on what part of the body is affected:
  • Brain and nervous system: headaches, numbness, tingling, seizures, vision problems, personality changes
  • Digestive tract: abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting
  • Heart: abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
  • Lung: coughing up blood and difficulty breathing
  • Skin: patchy skin color, fingers that change color when cold (Raynaud's phenomenon)
   Some patients only have skin symptoms. This is called discoid lupus.

Exams and Tests

   To be diagnosed with lupus, you must have 4 out of 11 typical signs of the disease.

   Your doctor will perform a physical exam and listen to your chest with a stethoscope. An abnormal sound called a heart friction rub or pleural friction rub may be heard. A nervous system exam will also be done.

   Tests used to diagnose SLE may include:
  • Antibody tests, including antinuclear antibody (ANA) panel
  • CBC
  • Chest x-ray
  • Kidney biopsy
  • Urinalysis
   This disease may also alter the results of the following tests:
  • Antithyroglobulin antibody
  • Antithyroid microsomal antibody
  • Complement components (C3 and C4)
  • Coombs' test - direct
  • Cryoglobulins
  • ESR
  • Kidney function blood tests
  • Liver function blood tests
  • Rheumatoid factor
   This list is not all inclusive.

Treatment

   There is no cure for SLE. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms.

   Mild disease may be treated with:
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) treat arthritis and pleurisy
  • Corticosteroid creams to treat skin rashes
  • An antimalaria drug (hydroxychloroquine) and low-dose corticosteroids for skin and arthritis symptoms
   You should wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen when in the sun

   Severe or life-threatening symptoms (such as hemolytic anemia, extensive heart or lung involvement, kidney disease, or central nervous system involvement) often require more aggressive treatment by doctor specialists.

   Treatment for more severe lupus may include:
  • High-dose corticosteroids or medications to decrease the immune system response
  • Cytotoxic drugs (drugs that block cell growth) if you do not get better with corticosteroids, or whose symptoms get worse when the stop taking them. These medicine have serious, severe side effects. You should be closely monitored by your doctor.
   If you have lupus, it is also important to have:
  • Preventive heart care
  • Up-to-date immunizations
  • Tests to screen for thinning of the bones (osteoporosis)
   Talk therapy and support groups may help relieve depression and mood changes that may occur in patients with this disease.

Outlook (Prognisis)

   How well a person does depends on the severity of the disease.
   The outcome for people with SLE has improved in recent years. Many people with SLE have mild symptoms.
   Women with SLE who become pregnant are often able to carry safely to term and deliver a healthy infant, as long as they do not have severe kidney or heart disease and the SLE is being treated appropriately. However, the presence of SLE antibodies may increase the risk of pregnancy loss.

Possible Complications
   Some people with SLE have abnormal deposits in the kidney cells. This leads to a condition called lupus nephritis. Patients with this condition may eventually develop kidney failure and need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

   SLE causes damage to many different parts of the body, including:
  • Blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism)
  • Destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia) or anemia of chronic disease
  • Fluid around the heart (pericarditis), endocarditis, or inflammation of the heart (myocarditis)
  • Fluid around the lungs (pleural effusions) and damage to lung tissue
  • Pregnancy complications, including miscarriage
  • Stroke
  • Severely low blood platelets (thrombocytopenia)
  • Inflammation of the blood vessels

When To Contact a Medical Professional

   Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of SLE. Also, call if you have this disease and your symptoms get worse or a new one occurs.

Alternative Names

   Disseminated lupus erythematosus; SLE; Lupus; Lupus erythematosus; Discoid lupus
