If I were a parent, I would have won the title “Bad Parent” for neglecting and abandoning my child aka my blog/s. You wouldn’t know that I actually subscribed to few blogs:
1. Moi blogs - 3 altogether (one blog is in operation, two blogs are idle and locked)
2. The YSL blog
3. The Febeles blog
4. And 2 other private blogs in collaboration with my significant other.
A mummy to 8 babies! For 2008, I pledge to become a good mummy attending the basic needs of my babies.
2007 was fruitful especially in my career. Starting in April, I was transfered to other department and am now doing something I really enjoyed. The current work environment is more dynamic and fast-paced. Alhamdulillah. And at the end of 2007, opportunity knocks with the offer to pursue Masters in Petroleum Engineering. My mum was saying, “If she were me, she would have accepted the offer” Deep in my heart, I wish Mama knows it was not an easy decision to make. There are constraints for me to consider and the timing is just bad. Among of the concern is my seniority in the Company.

The way my Company function is slightly different from other company/in Academia where they appreciate a Masters holder. No doubt, it is a wise long term investment as I aspire to settle down in Academia, become a lecturer, pursue my Masters and Doctorate, deal with less stress job with more time can be allocated to the family. Teaching is also a noble job.
At moment of high crude oil prices and acute shortage of PEs, we earn more serving in the industry than in the Academia. And if I were to jump into the Academia bandwagon, only limited places that can offer me a job such as UTM and UTP which reside far away from my beloved hometown. For the time being, it is more attractive to stay in the industry, at least for next few years.
At this point of time, am 60% sure to decline the offer. Just in case I change my mind, I could just pack my bag and go, since the due date for withdrawal is 28 January. I am still seeking answers from God and Istikarah. I am a successful failure when it comes to decision making. Once in a while, I was haunted by the slight regret for not accepting the offer to TKC and MRSM during high school. I could have study abroad and pursue my degree in Medicine. However, they say that everything happen for a reason. I am blessed to have what I have now. I thank God for the great life endowed to me. And I can’t wait to see what 2008 get to offer.
Oh ya MUYZ stands for Make Up Your Mind Zal!
Happy New Year everyone! May you have a totally blessed and prosperous 2008.
