The Journey


Pushing myself hard...
Pushing the negative vibes far far away...
Struggling with self is very challenging..
Is it age?
Still, the force is there..I know...

To You the Almighty...I look to you..

Rabbi Tanmim bil khair..
Rabbi zidni 'ilman, war zugni fahman...

Reality

I went to a bookstore ..a very famous one somewhere near my house...last night. Next to it was quite a famous restaurant in the area. As we..we as in my hubby and daughter...were passing by the restaurant I saw a group of boys sitting at one of the tables..
Among the group were a few familiar faces..one was very familiar. I could actually see them clearly though it was only for a few quick minutes.. sigh..
Reality hit me...my boy has grown up. My endless prayer that he will always be under Allah's blessings, guidance and rahmah...successful dunia akhirat..ameen..

The Mood is here

It has been like 5 months since I last wrote...where shall I begin now..am actually contemplating on what to write...what to focus as there is so much going on in this head:
1. My study
This whole semester is serious work..previous semesters were more on the courses and exams..met my intended supervisor (as she is not officially appointed yet but she works with me committedly nevertheless) fifteen times and I have already submitted a short proposal for my topic defense..err not yet proposal defense. I am confident InsyaAllah that it is going to be accepted as both of us had put in a lot of efforts and hours into the work. I am being positive here coz' one of the lecturers said "what if this is not accepted" but I wasn't quick enough to answer..anyhow, I am prayinh hard now.
2. Vacation
In the midst of preparing the short proposal I managed to take a week getaway with darling husband. Something I had never dreamed of but Alhamdulillah to Allah the Almighty..the best Planner of all. Will write about this in another posting.
3. Family Matters
Everything is as usual. The children are doing ok..the same routine. I am praying for the best for all of them especially for the eldest as this is an important year for him..SPM. I have given him all that I possibly can. It is now up to him to make it happen.
MIL's condition is average. She won't be getting back to her condition considering her age. I had a fair share of taking care of her in her worse conditions..alhamdulillah. May she be strong in facing the days ahead as she is immobile now and the challenges surrounding her. All the things that happen to her really humble me. Some things are sad but the most important thing is the lessons learnt from the whole episode. What goes around comes around. For the time being, pray hard.

The title doesn't reflect the content huh?

BLESSED

It has been a while since I last wrote..
Alhamdulillah, today I was blessed with the opportunity to have an academic discussion with my phd peer..Agaban..a Sudanese. His insights has undoubtedly enlightened me on many aspects of my dissertation. I know that we should have more of such discussions so as not to be "lonely" in this whole phd journey. Another thing that keeps haunting me is the "reminder" given by one of my lecturers - "you don't want to be a half'-baked phd holder, do you?" and that scares me..:(
Anyway, on a brighter note, I received a few more articles in my email from another dear friend of mine who has been very motivating, supporting, encouraging, etc from the moment I applied to further my studies until today ..my dear friend Suharti..may Allah bless you and Agaban too..
There is still so much to do...may Allah be with me all the way...
