Wrong Rakaah Shouts

A Muslim performs a prayer together led by one Imam who determines the number of rakaah (prayer move set). Some prayers have different numbers or rakaahs, for example Maghrib prayer at dawn has 3 rakaahs and Isya prayer at night time have 4 rakaah. When an Imam had a wrong rakaah, the followers must rebuke the Imam with saying 'subhanallah'. So the Imam can fix the corect movement count of the prayer. One day I felt so sleepy at dawn right before the Maghrib prayer. Because I cant hold it, I fall asleep and woke up right when the prayer started. Panicly I go to the mosque in a hurry and still tought it was a Magrib prayer. Without I know, it actually an Isya prayer. When the Imam did the fourth rakaah, I shouted 'subhanallah' because I tought the Imam misscount the 3 rakaahs of Maghrib. But the whole people in that prayer is silent and only me the one who shouts it. Slowly I glanced at the clock that showed night time and realized its an Isya prayer.  In the silence of ...

Disease by Stethoscope?

When I became a doctor to serve in a rural village, there was a patient who was a couple of elders.  An old man who came with his wife, who seemed a bit sick. After I checked his wife with my stethoscope, he asked randomly if it was true that becoming a doctor cost a lot of money. I explained that it depends. Nowadays, many schools provide scholarships to smart students who have financial difficulties so they can do medical studies without spending any money. The old man nodded, understanding my explanation. He said what a kind-hearted rich person who did that. The old man then asked again how much it cost to buy the stethoscope that I wear. I explained again that it depends on the quality. The one that I wear is a cheap one. I forgot the price, but I answered that it cost about 10 dollars. My answer shocked him '10 dollars?' he asked with a little shout. He then excitedly talk to his wife that he can buy the stethoscope so they can know a disease without visiting a doctor.  I...

Broken Flying Fox Scale

I had a fat body When I was in middle school and that's the time I met the closest friends of my whole life. One day I go to a new playzone in a mall with all of them. There's a weighing scale in a flying fox ride, and just for fun we check how much all of us weigh. When it was my turn to check my weight, the scales suddenly went shut and not showing any number. All of my friends laughed, I tought they laughed about by fat condition for the first time. Makes me a little shocked because  they always being nice to me and never talk about my weight before.  They apologized immediately if I was offended, they laughed about the funny sound that the scale made before it went off. They told me nicely that I don't have to worry about my condition and we will always be best friends. Because of that, somehow I get motivated to do cardio exercises by myself for one whole year until I lose a lot of weight when I graduate. I don't know how much weight I have lost, but I feel my body...

Always Bald

Since I was little, I already know that my hair grows slower than most people. In 4 months, it only had a maximum growth of 1-2 cm after a clean bald haircut. My parents were kinda strict and always told me to not change my hairstyle. In college, I feel a bit stressed due to campus study, homework, and a bunch other activities. It makes me not have any time to take care my hair. Intentionally, I also want to know how my long hair looks like. After one year in college, right in that 19 years ole, I just realized what my parents meant to be about my weird hair condition. In that one year, my hair still only grew 1-2 cm then it fell off. The hair that has fallen out grows shorter (around 0.5 cm) and it feels more thinner. There are some strands of hair that can grow to long lengths, but they can be counted by fingers and ended got pulled out. One of my friends suggested I dye my hair because it seemed like I had no chance to change the style. So I did it, and weirdly, the result shows tha...

Not A Gay Andrologist

I felt a funny irony when I became an andrologist, since I remembered again what my parents taught me when I was 17. At that time I'm just a homeschooling smart nerd boy with no friends or girls in real life. My parents found out on my Facebook account that I used an escape when I feel stressed.  I chatted with random girls, women, and many online female friends, also made posts about my handsome edited photos with sad quotes about relationship. My encourage me to not worry too much about romantic relationship. In this world, when I focus on knowledge and hard work, the money and girls will come at me by themselves. Only 50% of what my parents said that time was right. Because now I had a good salary but it comes from my patientethat all of them are men. Even some of em is acting weird like without saying a thing opening their pants then stroking their dick in front of me. Though I'm a male andrologist, I wil always straight and never hesitate to kick man's balls when it bo...

Old Guy Revenger

I work as a porter in a traditional market and I still live alone because I spend all of my money on alcohol, gambling, and prostitution. Im a cocky person who lived alone in a simple house made of plywood, the leftovers of my parents, who I don't know where they are now. Almost every day, I would ask the owner of the grocery store near my house for free cigarettes. Sometimes I paid, and sometimes I just left if he refused. But most of the time, I just threatened to force him to give me free cigarettes with an excuse to put me in debt, though I never paid it. One night, I drank too much and in the morning I realized that my vision had become blurry. I still can go to the doctor because I can see the shape of light and shadow, but the doctor told me that my vision is 10% left and I am probably on the edge of blindness. I can recover but it's had a small chance and at max, only 50% of my vision will recover. Right the next day, my vision is getting worse, I can see light and shad...

Mr Gip's Kitchen

As A Muslim who can't eat pork visiting Bali, the culture shock that I feel the most is there are so many pork dishes. I'm not upset because of it, but somehow if we claim muslim while ordering food, the waiter will serve us slower. I understand that probably they make sure our dish contains no pork in the form of respect. But this happens every time Im bout to eat for 7 days at any restaurant that I go to and it kind of makes me upset.  I'm not upset about the tradition, it's probably because of the hunger that I must hold for a long time over and over again. My plan for having fun in that place is ruined because of this. Moreover, when I returned to my home, out of nowhere, one of my neighbors suddenly raised a pig. Let's call him Mr. Gip, he is famous for his hobby of raising weird animals such as reptiles, mammals, etc. But again, this pig things just make me more pissed. I told my story in Bali to my neighbour friends like 'How the f I keep meeting pork dis...
