Caution, Thesis Writing in Progress!

Assalamualaikum 

It's been 4 years since I enrolled my PhD program. Too many challenges and hardship along the way until I reached this stage. Anyone who has been through, will understand the situation. High level of patience and perseverance are important. Those challenges, sometimes really struck me (can view my early years challenges in here http://islamandbusiness.blogspot.com). Those that really..hurmm what can I say... can easily make me withdraw from the program. But, nevertheless all these, has changed me, changed my life and changed my perspective towards the world and everything... Alhamdullilah. 

Really..? Hehee.. That was me in my early days/ years of PhD

Married with kids.. we need to deal life with wisdom. Have a balance life.. with kids, hubby, families, friends, communities,  and shall I say shopping too...hehee.. and the list goes on..blablablaaa...

Ok.. this is my stage now. Please be careful with me! Hehee..

So these are my theraphy when I feel down:

1. Listen to dzikir (i love to listen to Talib Al Habib) 

2. Take ablution and solat

3. Recite Al Quran

One of my fav- Hasbunallah by Hazamin. 

Kalimataan- Talib Al Habib. Try to listen this... Subhanallah..

"Ya Allah permudahkanlah dan berkatilah urusan dan berikanlah kemudahan dari setiap bentuk dan sudut..Aamin"

Smile and always be positive... May this be a happy journey for me towards achieving excellence and success.. Aamiin..

Wallahualam and Wasalam

Conference 2012

Alhamdullilah..

My paper has been accepted (either extended abstract or full paper) in ICIMB 2012. I've presented in the same conference back in 2010. It was in KL. But this time, it will be held in Brunel Uni of London. Wow.. great experience I would say, meeting people from different background, sharing each other knowledge.. etc. 

Now, I am contemplating...to go or not to go.. I really want to go, It's either

1. To bring the whole family - we have a very HUGE plan for next year. Need to save for that. 

2. Me and Amal (as she is fully bf)-  No, it's impossible. I will not be able to join the conference and present

3. Me, hubby and Amal - Depends on hubby's schedule. 

4. Me alone - Huhuhu... x best!!

I have yet to discuss this with my SV- Prof MD. Will see how the plan goes... 

"Ya Allah, ubun2 ke dalam genggaman mu, bimbinglah daku, berikanlah petunjuk dan hidayah kepada ku di dalam membuat keputusan yang tebaik", Aamiin..."

Wasalam

## By the way, I've been to that Brunel's place last year. It's located at Uxbridge and actually we've stayed while we were in London. In fact, I've met the Malaysian penghulu (for the Brunel's student) in London!

My goals in life... :)

Assalamualaikum and Holla!!!

I found my long lost book, hidden somewhere between books at my work station. And suddenly....I felt there's a burning desire inside of me... (wah.. tetiba lah pulak). Telling the truth, since I got pregnant...hmm.. I don't really focus with my Phd. Cuma bila nak data collection, then I was damn busy preparing itenary, planning, finding contacts and etc. And at the same time, revising and finalizing my measurement for questionnaires. 

That was during my second trimester. I was so damn tired that time sangat2 penat especially in UK. I was there about a month jugakla...Giler travelling ..hangkut questionnaire yang berat tu.  Balik Malaysia for about 2-3 weeks, fly pulak to Perth, Australia again for my data collection and conference. Alhamdullilah I got 200% support from my darling Hubby.. thank you ..

When all that thingy completed, I was like garfield, fat pregnant lady lazying at home (sebab dah masuk 3 trimester pun). Tup2 bersalin dapat Amal Basyirah pun tercepat... hehe.. Again ..Alhamdullilah, Alhamdullilah, Alhamdullilah... Bila confinement memang la tak buat apa.. Macam princess.. semua pun ada orang buatkan. Pinggan pun tak basuh ye. Memang mengada. Even baby Amal's shower pun my mother buatkan..reason why? because czer..hehe, best kan...?

After my confinement, was busy for about 1 month due to analysing data and had showed the result to my supervisor, Prof MN. He gave green light for me to start with write up. Ohhh... then again.... relax2 at home golek2 with my baby Amal...(at the same time I do writes article to publish- 1 for 2nd draft and another 1 for 1 draft). Ok la tu.. really complacent me!!!

But now I've changed (insyaAllah... Ya Allah bantulah hamba mu ini untuk berubah dan bersemangat). I read back what I have written on that book. It's actually my GOALS in life!!!! Complete with my goal for 2 years mean since May 2011 to April 2013. I actually wrote that when I listened to Prof Muhaya in IKIMfm. Coincident, I had chance to join her seminar on that month and I have asked her to put her signature on my GOAL. Hehe.. semangat datang balik ni. 

Let me show you the written goal of mine...

 please ignore my bad writing ye. Kasi blur2 sikit sbb malu orang baca my goal. Lagipun pictures in this blog I snapped using my old iphone. 3GS aje pun. Tapi still Alhamdullilah coz I got it for free.... hehe...

Tu dia sign Prof Muhaya ye. And what you can see, one of my goal was... DAPAT ANAK. Tak ingat pun pasal wish ni dulu. Maknanya my wish  really came true!! Thank you, thank you and thank you Allah... :). The other 2, InsyaAllah.. coming soon...

Happy me with Prof Dr Muhaya.. 

Anything for my family... for the sake of Allah...

Friends, supplication to Allah is very, very very important. Allah will grant if that is good for us. Just let Allah....

This is my story ye..  dulu2 I once said to a friend that I will not got to any other countries, before Makkah. It's really happened, it was when I booked a flight ticket to Jakarta... suddenly I got the opportunity to perform my Umrah. And the the data were clashed with my Jakarta trip... of course I look forward for my  Umrah.. 

And the experience was not happened once.. few times I remembered. So, what I can conclude here... please beware with words especially for mothers ye.. Kesian anak2 kita nanti...

“Rabbana la tuzi` qulubana ba`da izhadaitana, wa hablana min ladunka rahmah. Innaka antal wahhab.” 

“Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau gelincirkan hati kami setelah Engkau beri hidayah kepada kami, dan berikanlah kepada kami daripada sisiMu rahmat kasih sayang yang banyak. Sesungguhnya Engkaulah Tuhan yang boleh memberi segala-galanya.” (Hadith Riwayat An-Nasa`i)

Ok till then. Wasalam. .

nothing to shout about me.. Alhamdullilah...

Assalamualaikum...

I know, maybe there is no one reading this blog..but never mind. I just wanna write what I want to write... :)

Firstly, thank you Allah for giving me this precious gift... Alhamdullilah... God answered my prayer... actually I have few wishes for this year, 2011. This year, insyaAllah will be my best year and also the coming years..by right, everyday should be the bestest day for me... InsyaAllah... :)

Talking back about my wish list, I have 3 wishes for 2011 actually... Among of the three, one of them will be the opportunity cost. I've prayed for Allah to give me the bestest among of the two. Which is which shall come first. And, Alhamdullilah... one of the wish, insyaAllah will be accomplished..and waiting for my other wish list to be achieved. Means, the opportunity cost will my coming years wish list...I am really dying for it, however only Allah knows best.

2011, this year will be a challenging year for me... with that wish list, or I can say it's my vision. means there will be a missions to carry.... many things to catch up...may Allah answered my prayers and straighten everything.. Amin...

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

"O my Lord! expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech, So they may understand what I say[20:25--28]"

"Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil (Ali Imran 173), Ni'mal maula wa ni'man nasoir (Al Anfaal 40), La haula wala quwwata illa billahil 'aliyyil 'azhim". May Allah simplify and make easy of my life journey....Amin

Rabbi Yassir Wala Tu'Asir
