FEBRUARY 2011

Gosh, how fast time flies..it is February already and for all you know, it is going to be April soon.

I have submitted my extension application and it seems to be going well. I mean, I don't know whether I will get it but I just know that it is in process and for that, I am glad. Once my visa is extended, I think I will consider quitting my part-time job. Maybe by May or June. Cukup la 2 tahun saya bekerja, hehehe..

Last week was tough. The hits just keep on coming. But then, what I think make me felt happy and kinda proud of myself was that I managed to find out what is the cause of the problem. Hmm..I went back to basic..did some research and I managed to find out what went wrong. Once I know what went wrong, at least I can find out a solution..although I still don't know whether it will work out or not, but, at the moment, it all make sense. The thing is, the process of trying to solve the problem and finding out possible solutions had made me realized how I have grown as a researcher..chewah...but of course, all the inspirations came from Him and I am grateful for the light at the end of this particular tunnel. I do hope that it will all work out.

What else?Hmm..I kept telling myself that everyone's PhD journey is different. Stop comparing or you will end up 'sakit jiwa' or even worse, 'riak'...Riak because your journey is better...riak because your journey shows that you are brighter than the rest and so forth..although at the moment, whenever I start to compare, it is more towards rasa sakit jiwa..heheh..

A colleague of mine had finished her viva and she basically a Doctor now. We are so happy for her but of course couldn't help to feel crazy jealous that she has finished. Heheh..she said, just be patient, your time will come. Yeah, I know..insyaAllah my time will come..the time when the examiners will shake my hand..and said..'Congratulations, Dr.'...I think at the time, I will scream with happiness and hug my husband as tight as I possibly can. :)
