There is a lovely love story "Kelmarin Bukan Untuk Esok" (yesterday is not for tomorrow) playing on TV2. My favourite characters are in it - Jasmin Hamid, Hans Isaac, and Catriona Bahrin Ross. It has a beautiful soundtrack "Sekiranya Ada Cara" and surprisingly very good lyrics by Ebby Saiful. My husband wants me to watch it! So, I am writing this article while watching TV! Just soon after the love story ended, Ferhad appeared and sang a Malay soul song, "Katakan Saja". It is very difficult to concentrate on writing because the lyrics are very good.

My husband pointed to me this news article which was what I was writing earlier in Search 8. An article in Berita Harian, Tuesday, 5 July 2005, the section under Agama, page 12, sub-sectionEnsiklopedia Nusantara by Wan Mohd. Shaghir Abdullah reads "Sejarah perubatan dunia Melayu perlu diperkenal kepada masyarakat", and the sub-title reads " Kitab perubatan karya Syeikh Ahmad al-Fathani tidak banyak diketahui oleh generasi sekarang". The article carried the same image of a page from the book "Thaiyibul Ihsan fi Thibbil Insan" written by  Syeikh Ahmad al-Fathani on 3 Zulhijjah 1312 Hijrah (28 May 1895) in Makkah which En. Fadli Ghani had e-mailed to me earlier. The article discussed herbal medicine. According to this article, it is believed that Syeikh Ahmad al-Fathani was the first Malay to learn medicine (orang Melayu yang pertama belajar perubatan). He studied medicine from the time of Ibnu Sina (Avecenna) up to his time. He also wrote the book "Qanun Ibnu Sina" in Arabic (no date was mentioned). His other books were "Hadiqatul Azhar war Rahayin" and "Luqthatul 'Ajlan".

It is Saturday, 12.12 am.

Jalaluddin Hassan is acting in "Orbit Cinta Berjamin" (orbit of guaranteed love) on TV2.
