It's time of the year again!

As it is Awal Muharram and reaching the end of 2010, it is time to review last year resolution:

1. Not to delay any work, be proactive in making research progress, aiming to complete Ph.D thesis in 4 1/2 years.--->  I think I could finish up my research in 4.5 years but my SV, upon submitting my annual progress report, she said it is too ambitious to finish in 4 years. I'm targeting 4.5 years at most, that's it!


2. By January 2010, I have to start studying at least one page a day for qualifying exam. And of course, passing the qualifying exam which scheduled to be held during summer 2010. Pray for me pals! ---> Do I need to explain more? Well, I actually start studying in June, not January (semangat je lebih :P) Refer to this link to read about my QE experience.


3. Aim to be an early riser! That's tough but it is 'do'able ---> Hahaha. Tettt! Failed! I know rezeki masuk lepas Subuh, but I guess I'm just not a morning person. Perhaps, baby F will make mommy's mission accomplish!

4. Family wise, a big decision which I won't share publicly but will announce when the right time comes ---> Ok. This is a no brainer kot, guessing what me and Jai have been up to since last August. Ngeh ngeh ngeh. Syukur alhamdulillah, Allah granted me the chance of conceiving.


Looking back, I should have been grateful with what I have so far in life. Although I liked to imagine myself being rich sometimes, having what I have right now is more than enough.

So, for 2011 C.E /1432 A.H, my resolutions are:

1. To write and get publish at least 2 journal papers. One as a middle author and the other as a first author.
2. To finish reading 10 books that I have bought for the past few months but didn't get to read it. I'm just not into reading nowadays.
3. Saving money for a trip to a country outside of the US. I'm not sure the location just yet but I've always wanted to visit Europe. The trip might be in 2012 before I leave US.
4. And of course, to be a good mommy for Baby F =)
