Hello 2018

Assalamualaikum,

This shall be my first blog in 2018. Happy New Year Everyone! 

2017 had ended in the best way I could ever wish for. Syukur, alhamdulilah. Mom, dad and sis came to visit me, we had dinner together and went shopping (It is year end sale, how could you not buy anything right?). I enjoyed every bit of the moment cause I haven't seen them in quite awhile. 

Started to work on the first day of 2018. I have not done any design work for months. It is good to see Illustrator again. Hopefully everything will goes on smoothly on the upcoming event. 

Second day of 2018. I went to see my co-supervisor, Dr. Ramachandran to consult about my thesis proposal which I will be submitting by end this month. Only 60% done and I have interviews to do. Lets pray that I can finish it before the due date. 

Dr. Rama shared some very inspiring stories with us today. He told us that sometimes in work, when you are performing well, there will be people who are jealous with your achievements. Some people will give you hard times even you are doing nothing wrong. Don't let the negativity hold you back, try to elevate yourself instead. Like what Dr. Rama did when people are being shady to him was he went on to continue his study. Dr. Rama started out as a film cameraman in RTM when he was young. Now he is an Associate Professor. 

There is a quote saying "people can't hurt you without your permission". You choose who you want to be. People who are always envious with others' achievement or back stabbers will not go far.

And one day when you became a successful person, Dr. Rama said, "we need to be able to bend down to touch the ground, don't walk on the wind". Never forget your roots. 

Thank you for reading and I apologize for my horrible English. Just want to write this briefly for the sake of journal. By the way, I really think that I should go for English tuition to improve my grammar and vocabulary. 

I think I should set my new year resolution with more constructive goals. Will share about it in my next blog InsyaAllah.

Thanks again. Hope you have a nice day!
