Praise be to Allah for His blessings of Ramadhan
Praise be to Allah for giving me experience learning about Islam with Ummi
Praise be to Allah for the improvement on mama's health
Praise be to Allah for the space and time that allows all my six siblings to gather at home this year
Praise be to Allah for all the sumptuous food we shared
Praise be to Allah for making my primary schoolmates gathering into reality
Praise be to Allah for the remembrance of my friends all around the globe
Praise be to Allah for my determination to increase my ibadah throughout the fasting month
Praise be to Allah for the extra 'fishy elements' that indirectly had coloured my holiday
Where there is the beginning, who are we to deny the ending
My dear Ramdhan, I'm hereby letting you go...

Hands in the air
Tahniah!!
Chook-hah-hahm-nee-dah!!
Felicidades!!
At the age of 22, many of my friends had graduated successfully after so much of hard works and sacrifice. Some of them who underwent fast track, 1-year foundation or skipped standard 4 in primary school [pts] will surely feel relieved after tossing their caps. At least, they can start thinking about building life. I take this opportunity, here to congratulate those who had received their scroll. Not to forget, my seniors in school and from Portsmouth Uni. Wishing all of you a smooth path towards achieving your dream career. I still have two more years to finish my 3rd stage;
1. Primary [6yrs]
2. Secondary [5yrs]
--->>>3. Higher edu [6yrs]
4. Career dev- Masters, Ph.D[??]
My course takes up my precious 6 years. Ironically, I'm not doing medicine or any other related field. Looking from a positive angle, this can prove that preparation to teach English isn't easy as how it is viewed universally, it has nothing to do with the gov that's being so lavish to provide more than what is needed. XD
Anyway, I'm still in the process of liking what I'm doing now. Despite the teaching blood that circulates in my vessels, the feeling of wanting to quit is cannot be helped. Sometimes it's just because of a few foolish reasons- living a moderate life is the stigma. Plus, a teacher's life is too predictable> assembly, baju kurung, no AC..XD, also, I am not denying the society pressure. MRSM student and medicine is always a perfect combination, yet I'm doing something else. I am a friend of many future doctors, nearly 50% within my friends whom I'm still in contact with. That is what makes me feel intimidated at times.
Perhaps some of you used to or still have the same dilemma about the field that you are pursuing. It can be as simple as
"What the hell am I doing here? I'm not interested. This is not what I'm interested in. I certainly won't make a good ___"
Not everyone takes the course that he desires, particularly if it is fated. The acceptance is also different to individuals. For the case above, there is a need to ask serenity from Him, so that we can learn to accept such unchangeable things.What is planned by Allah is always the best for us.
"...boleh jadi kamu bencikan sesuatu, sedang Allah hendak menjadikan pada apa yg kamu benci itu kebaikan yg byk untuk kamu" (An-Nisa': 19)
For me graduation is nothing more than a dull compulsory ceremony to mark the end of your student title in the uni. The real graduation in once you become assured and happy with the field that you are working on.
Love your field first, the spirit will soon follow.
Insha-Allah
ALL THE BEST!!
***For future teachers, I would recommend you to visit your former teachers in schools to rectify your doubt. Alhamdulillah, it works on me. I feel much better in a sense that I become more sure-footed to educate in the near future. Great teachers give profound impact on students, and it is an everlasting one. Hopefully, the remaining 2 years is sufficient to let the courage to be fully grown (^_^)/

Take note from what the Apple founder said,
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
