Welcome 2011 and I wish you a Happy New Year!

The Year 2011 is a very important year for me. This is the year that I planned to submit my PhD thesis. This is the year that I have to remain objective and keep my sanity intact. I have worked so hard and I have sacrificed a lot of my time, energy, and quality time with family and friends in order to achieve my dream of having a PhD qualification. Now, the journey has come to its ending stage. How am I going to make it work, despite all the upcoming challenges awaiting for me?

Somebody reminded me regarding the reality of life:

Esok adalah masa depan
Semalam adalah sejarah
Bagaimana kita menggunakan pengajaran sebagai menongkah masa hadapan?
Menuding jari ke arah orang lain memang mudah
Tetapi, adakah itu akan menyelesaikan segala masalah???
Semasa ada, kita tidak tahu menghargai
Bila ianya tiada, barulah kita tahu kita kehilangan...

Benar, yang patah kan tumbuh dan yang hilang kan berganti. Yang pasti, yang tumbuh dan yang jadi pengganti takkan sama dengan yang pernah kita miliki...

I wish all my friends a Happy New Year. May your life be filled with good health, happiness, and joys.
Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
