December

December is my favorite month..because it’s christmas month and my birth month!! Besides, it’s a holiday month..yup!! Worker like me is trying to have some rest and fun ! 

Do you know that we will be celebrating an auspicious day on 12.12.12. I’m sure many couple will tie their knot on this memorable day. It’s similar with last year ..11.11.11 where I celebrated the auspicious day with my colleagues back in PDB. hmmm....i should plan something for this but unfortunately it’s a working day! Nothing much can be done when your schedule is tight! 

Apart from celebration, this month will be a reflection month for all of us. It’s time to measure our performance for this year! Have we achieve our dream? Resolution? Have we learn something, somewhere and somehow? 

Tomorrow will be my 2nd months anniversary with my new company. Well, not really a new company..we are carrying the same brand, under the same umbrella:) Even though, we are sharing the same brand but the environment is totally difference... new set of faces, new set of procedures and new set of friends. I guess i should be greatful for what i have now. God has plan everything for me. Within 1 month, i got a new job offer.  I still can recalled the moment when my ex-boss told me that the region function will be transferred to KL. At first, i can’t accept that the movement will take effect within 3 weeks time. But God is Great! Everything is possible! Guess what, i got a Job offer just RIGHT on time. 

What can i say about my new job is .....high expectation! yupp!! Initially, i was worried whether i can deliver the task given but again Praise the Lord!  i managed to cope and i found out that i started to love my job...:)

Motivational Story for myself! Desperately need this!

Thank you Thien Lei Mee for you inspired story!!!

Dear all,
My special thanks to Prof Ramayah and Dr Rem Dambul, I have learnt a lot from both of you based on what you have been posted in this academic group. Also, thanks to DSGian for the best wishes.

It is always a miracle when you believe that you can do it. Yes, I submitted my 10 copies for viva within two years. It seems unbelievable especially when I was a part timer in my first 11 months. Within this period, I slept almost 3 hours only per day and woke up at 3am to read articles for almost 3 hours daily. This is the only time that I have to pursue my PhD with the agreement to my family and children that they should be prioritized over my PhD.

However, this is definitely not good for mental health. Therefore, I decided to take non-paid leave to continue my studies. No choice, because I fail to get scholarship from KPM, not even call for interview too. Subsequently, i convert to be a full time student at my 12th months till to date. As such, I told myself that I must success! 2 years is my target. Programming my mind that there is no time to frustrated, cry or demotivated etc even though I encountered it. The only thing that in my mind is look for alternatives in order to solve the problem asap. Setting up the time frame for each stage of research process (proposal defence, data collection, previva, viva etc) and it must be achieved! Even waiting for viva, I still wake up earlier to read articles and write paper. Actually, I did enjoy this kind of life.

No doubt, to produce a sound and justifiable thesis is not an easy task. There are uncountable difficulties and obstacles that have to be overcome throughout the whole research process. Therefore, writing a thesis needs a great deal of knowledge, skill, persistence, time management, commitment, and ingenuity. Really think and behave like a PhD scholar. Moreover, having a committed and knowledgeable supervisor; critical peers who always challenge and question me about the content of the thesis from a variety of aspects; and knowledge networking from the same and different field are always be the advantages.

Completing the PhD thesis serves as a starting point for me to deepen my knowledge in doing research. Hope I can contribute my limited knowledge to this academic group from time to time.

Above is just my personal experience in pursuing the journey. Of course, different people have different way to achieve his or her target. Hopes this is only a personal experience sharing and serve no more than that. Thanks again and all the best! Enjoy your life with PhD studies because it is so precious to us.

The Muddy Journey

I wish upon the star

May my journey as smooth as the moon

The magic spell never came true

My journey filled with Muddy blues

My plead and cry to Mr. Muddy

Muddy oh Muddy

Please go away

Find yourself a new baby

I am too old to be worried

The Muddy path drive me crazy

 Oh God, have mercy on me

Cast away the hardhearted Muddy

God never promised to abandon Muddy

Muddy exist to prove His worthy

His promised to guide thoroughly

Until Muddy turned to rocky!

My humble beginning...weekend affair :)

I have a dream, 

a dream sounds elderly,

a place called HOME SWEET HOME! 

Far away from the city, 

where the birds sing freely, 

where the GREEN grass calling gently!

The Muddy Affair

The joy and passion of the gentle mud , 

dwell deeply into the soul seeker, 

the touch of the watery mud,

ceased the soul of the worry heart!

Bangkok Sawadee!!

My recent trip to Bangkok was great!! Managed to get last minutes deals...not really a good deal :P

Bangkok used to be a top destination for foreign tourist. I had dream about Bangkok trip for quite sometimes...finally i made it..hehe :) If you are a shopaholic, this is the right place for you! I am a kind of semi- shopaholic, sound great for me too :)

Some pics taken during my Bangkok trip :)

The Grand Palace - The Thai Kingdom

The building was awesome!! 

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Its remind me of Sustainable Tourism - 

This place was too crowded with tourists and not well maintained. 

Must do !! Elephant Ride, event though it costed us RM120 for 30 minutes rides..i think it wort it!!

All about Life :)

Sometimes Life Seems Hard To Bear

Author: Unknown

Sometimes life seems hard to bear
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then we have to remember
That it's in the valley we grow.

If we always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
We would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.

We have so much to learn
And our growth is very slow,
Sometimes we need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valley we grow.

We do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing
My Lord will see me through.

The little valleys are nothing
When we picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death
His victory was Satan's loss.

Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.

Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.

Thank you for the valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow.
