::::::: taming the unfamiliar :::::::

It's going to be my 18th year doing what i know best in government HR - been memorizing all the remuneration scheme, from JKK to SSB to SSM, the allowances and leaves regulations, pension scheme, those are nothing that people can joke me around. And now, I'm going to leave that comfortable zone. Moving to a known but unfamiliar turf. As Prof Syed said best during the interview, "welcome to the academic fraternity!" Yes, I've made up my mind, I'm changing career, for my own good. Deep down, it did made me nervous but I need to move on or rather up. I reckoned the hardship that I would have to endure, to start everything over, just like the time when I took up the first job. And the reason of why I started up the blog, to familiarize my self onto writing and composing, which is a bit of my weakness. But i thank my teachers and lecturers for what they had taught me and praised me on my works. What they don't know that it took me double the efforts of other to produce what they saw as good works. I hope they meant it really when they said, "i always like your writing'', or when they comment on my english. They really didn't know how hard i worked on that! Nobody knows actually ..

Academic fraternity. I'm going to embrace it as how i embraced the job that I've been doing, putting all my hearts & sweats on it. I'm challenging myself to finish my PhD, be someone in academia, be the one that my husband and children believed I am. Be as good as what I am good at now... with God's willing and mercy.
