And the journey continues..

Salam everyone..

First of all just want to wish every muslim a blessed Maal Hijrah 1433. May this year be better than the last and may it brings us with happiness, peace, prosperity and good health. May the blessing of Allah SWT be upon us always. Amin ya rabb.

*Sigh* Again I've been abandoning this blog for quite some time now altho' I've promised myself to update this blog as often as possible so I can create sort of a 'life album' of myself...let's just say its been hectic this past few months. CHANGES..I mean great changes had taken place, most of them were good..really good. I'm talking about 'dreams come true' kind of good..heee. But I have to admit all of these 'good things' came with lots and lots of challenges which makes it even better I think. Well, I really believe challenges makes you appreciate things better and make you even more grateful (personal opinion based on real life experience) =D

So whats with the changes? Let's summarise...*winks*

Its a dream come true 1: GRADUATION 

I believe I have mentioned from my previous post where I graduated with fairly good results..(2:1 baby!!) I gotta say I'm proud with myself..I'm so grateful that my 5 years journey in UBD was worthwhile and thanks to all those people who have contributed to my success.. =)) Hence, this is my first change..from an undergraduate to a graduate...all in 5 years time. So yea..a dream came true....one of the happiest day in my life..

an undergraduate ---> DIPLOMA ---> articulated --->BA PRIMARY EDUCATION ---> a graduate!!

Finally..after 5 years..

Its a dream come true 2: SCHOLARSHIP

So, what's next? Well, its been quite some time, even before the graduating, I have planned to pursue for a Master degree before settling for a career. At first, I was just planning to pursue locally, but was being encouraged to apply for a scholarship as well. And so, I applied~ the wait for the scholarship to be granted was...how should I say? hmm...phewww~~ bepalohh bahh...=p However, alhamdullilah, I managed to get the scholarship altho' there's still few glitches here and there but its all worthwhile..

Its a dream come true 3: BRUM!

BRUM = Birmingham...is where I am now..yes! One big change I should say, this is where I'm going to be for a year. Being in a completely different place far from home is totally a new experience and definitely not easy..there's quite few times when I feel like..."KAN BALIKKKK KUU!!" (it's not even 2 months yet..huhu) but I know I gotta b strong..this is my dream and I'm gonna live it..
