Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Alhamdulillah. Berakhir sesi yang panjang.

Pelbagai ayat yang berlegar di minda sejak petang tadi, tetapi semuanya dalam bahasa kedua. Aku bercadang mengguna bahasa ibunda, agar entri ini lebih dramatik. Mungkin.

Persis arena perdebatan, untuk menggambarkan sedikit sebanyak keadaan di Ibnu Sina petang tadi. Setelah pembentangan perkara utama selesai, timbul persoalan-persoalan yang dikemukan oleh beberapa pihak. Berhujahlah beberapa individu, meminta justifikasi daripada pihak yang lain tentang perkara tertentu. Nak dijadikan cerita, individu yang berhujah tadi majoriti adalah pendebat universiti. Kebetulan mungkin. Atau mereka memang lahir dengan bakat untuk berfikir secara kritikal dan berani bersuara secara lantang.

Sebagai salah seorang pendebat universiti, aku juga sedikit tercabar. Tetapi sukar untuk aku membuat analisa mengapa aku tidak bangkit untuk membidas atau sekurang-kurangnya menjawab persoalan yang dilontarkan. Barangkali aku khuatir hujahku adalah dalam bahasa kedua dan mungkin sukar difahami oleh majoriti dengan tepat. Atau aku sudah lama tidak berdebat, dan skil sudah berkarat. Atau mungkin aku memang ditakdirkan mempunyai jari-jemari yang lebih laju sambungannya dengan otak berbanding lidah. Justeru aku lebih selesa menulis, dan menaip. Dan mungkin juga aku bimbang pipi ini gagal untuk kekal kering jika aku memilih untuk berkata-kata.

Anggaplah penulisan aku kali ini sebagai coretan jalanan, sekadar menyedapkan hati sendiri. Tidak berniat untuk memanjangkan isu.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. Bahan bacaan yang bagus. Sekadar selingan.

I can’t do this anymore. I kept wondering what’s the word called in malay to translate things. Let me just continue in English.

Women are born with extra emotion than men. That’s a fact. If emotion is a bit too overboard and exaggerated, let’s use the word sensitive. The definition of sensitive in physics; registering even a slight change of a condition. The more sensitive an instrument, the smaller change it can detect. Women are sensitive, in a way that even if one is slightly higher than another because of a new pair of shoes then we’re able to detect it. Because we’re sensitive, even small things should be taken into account. Who should I go shopping with, who should I eat with, who should we tell things to.

The decision that we made, we considered two big elements in it; professionalism and emotion. My opinion, why should we sacrifice either when we can save both?

We can pretty much share the working environment with everybody, the professional atmosphere. But when it comes to the emotion, it’s almost impossible to share emotions with everybody equally. Maybe guys don’t see the significant because guys don’t share things as much, as frequent as girls do. We talk about EVERYTHING in case you don’t know.

Housemanship and clinical years are two completely different settings. We all know housemanship is the working phase, after graduation. It’s not strange to be separated. Why choose to separate earlier during clinical when we can still enjoy the campus life.

Talking bout getting ourselves used to being independent, apart from the environment, it needs skills too. Up to an individual how to polish the communication skill. And personally at this level, we surely need suitable people to offer moral and emotional support. When our emotions are good, then we're all good.

Getting to know each other, we’re constantly doing it. But personally I think, knowing people doesn’t mean you’ll end up close with them. We’re just fine with each other. But believe me, there are some who’ll still feel inferior with others. I’m talking based on experience.

One more thing, asking a justification why we fought so much to save the emotion, it’s like asking us why we’re born with fertilized karyotype 46XX. That’s just how we are.

Oh well. There you go, just my 2 cents.

Anyway, hopefully things are really settled.

Ps: Not to make things complicated. Just that I love writing.

Pss: But hey, no heart feelings eh. I'm all good. Hope everyone's all good too :)

Psss: Alhamdulillah
