If you are wondering what happened, read on………..
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and emotions. Words can’t describe the feeling that I have now – it is as if I am floating on top of a cloud.
I am really and truly happy. Maybe it is due to the fact that my wife and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary recently. Or maybe it was because my daughter Rahil turned 2 in October, followed by my wife’s birthday 3 days later. Plus my parents were able to come down from Kota Bharu to celebrate with us.
If you thought that I was enjoying myself all this while, then it cannot be further from the truth. There were times I went into the blogging mode, like the time I read about the abandoned smiling baby in a bag. But I had to focus…..
I finally sent off my revised PhD proposal to my potential supervisor in UK. The next task was less taxing - revise and redo a paper for a journal, which I have since resubmitted. And just three days ago, we finally completed a chapter (co-written with my wife) for a book, a joint project with some lecturers in the Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya. The book is due to come out somewhere near of the end this year.
However, the biggest update.
People close to me know that I have running around Government offices for quite sometime now.
Only my wife knows the frustration, the tension, and the uncertainty we went through. I almost gave up
I FINALLY GOT IT!
That’s the biggest reason that I am happy. Happy may not the right word. Delighted or ecstatic would be the better expression.
I kept telling people, “I see some light at the end of the tunnel”. Now, I am out of that tunnel and into the sunlight.
My mind went numb when I heard the good news and I didn’t know how to react. In fact I was not ready to believe it until I got the letter in black and white. Then it finally sunk in – “Yes! You finally got it”.
I will tell you guys (those who don't know yet) what I am talking about when all the formalities are complete.

Jack: Thanks for the offer. I will take up on your offer soon. Waiting for the year end sale to get myself a nice set.
Jen: Thanks. I remember 'The Road Less Traveled' from my school days. Its one of my favourites too.
Lucia & Babypink: Thanks. I will be writing about IT soon. And Lucia, its not the PhD in UK. I would be the happiest man in the World right now if I get that too. ;-)
Wow, sounding very happy. I'm happy for you too! I can't help but guess, if it's not the PhD in UK, then perhaps... a promotion? :p
Now now... don't keep us holding our breath for too long... a raise, a promotion, the degree, or the datuk title?
Lrong: None of the above. Just a small piece of paper but which will change my life.
