attendant and students still complain? " it
was due to the lack of parking equalization.
Such as, students FKIP (School of Teacher
Training and Education) who choose a
parking spot close to the building of their
lectures. So it is frequently found empty

Then, why ums now using vehicle
registration inspection system for
parking? Unlike other universities which
already used the id card? Before the year
2011 , UMS used the system for a parking
ticket.
But because it is considered less
effective, the early 2011 using the parking
ticket system is removed and replaced by
motor licence. "This system further
facilitates parking attendant and student .
In addition, it is also safer to use

I remembered the patient very well.
He is an old man, in his late seventy. And it
was only two weeks ago when I give the
news to his old guy sbouthhis diagnosis
result. "I'm terribly soory Mr. Luqman. It
seems that your cancer has developed to a
serious level in your bone. According to our
diagnosis, it hasreached the stadium IV. I'm
afraidthere isnothing muchthat
we can do to help you. I'm very
sorry.
I don't know for how many time a
statement like this came out of my mouth.
So it was unusual thing for me to deliver
this kind of news to a patient or the
relatives an show a bit sympathetic
gesture, although deep in my heart I
did'nt a thing. But the old man's statement
really startled me. He looked very calm in
receiving this fact." I know doctor, that my
time on this earth will shortly came to an
end. And surely dr. , I wouldn't need the
last bit thing from you do if Got's will has
bestoweduponme."
"You're moslem,right ?" I couldn't
help Questioning althougt I didn't really

In mywork as a doctor, I've seen many
deaths in my life. But what touched me most and
made me really wondered about death was
when my father died, since then, I started to
question life and death, " is it true that after we

my Father was an atheist while my mother was
an Christian.
I once tried to be a good Christian, but it
was hard for me to accept the concept of Jesus
Chirst as a son of God, and of inherited sins. To
belive in all of that nonsense, I finally choose to
not belive at all. And then I decided to become
atheist, justlike myfather was.
From then on I see My purpose of life is
only to have a great career, earn great wealth,

that I have set twenty years ago. And look at me
now! I have achieved every bit of those goals,
even more that what I've expected before. So at
this point of time, I wonder why I'm unhappy.

whenIthink all ofthesethings.
I feel so enviose when I see people who
look so peaceful. What do they do have I don't?? I
remember clearly what that old man told me
when I ask him about this. Surely you can find if
