A long journey begins with the 1st step!
I registered again as a student...but now as a graduate student. I started my master in July 2007. At first, my mum didnt allow me to drive there...ooooooouch! What a horrible terrible and other ables to go through.. K Ta n Cik Leh pleaded her for allowing me to drive from Gerik to Sintok (almost 3 and half hours). After so many arguments, only then she let me brought my beloved cute sporty car - my Wira! The registration day brought me in tears..after eye witnessing majority of the new students were being accompanied by their loved..I swore in car that I wanted to achieve first class cgpa no matter happened..
2 years renting a house in Changlun with Pikah and 1 year staying alone built me a strong girl. The school workloads plus part time study really taught me something - knowledge has no value! Even it has no price! The cost of knowledge is effort, tears, money, assignments, friends and family!
The last semester was the toughest part of all. With only my thesis carried 6 credit hours, I felt like in semester 1 or 2. Even worst than that! I had to apply for 2 weeks leave from school..unfortunately, had to prepare a lot of exercises for my Year 6 kids. Trying to run Neural Networks on my project put me in bad mood for the whole month. I was really afraid of not completing my thesis. My good friends in UUM, Ihwana (Indon mari), Irene, Amar, Munirah, Zoraida, Pikah, En. Salehudin, Azmi, Nazri, Amin dll helped me a lot. We helped each other actually. My Arabian friends - Bilal n the gang always cooked for us..what a wonderful experience having a discussion with friends from all over the world.
After 2 years of hard work, tears, arguments, assignments, presentations, projects, thesis and viva..at last the day was mine! I cannot control my emotion in Dewan Muadzam Shah during my convocation. It was really worth compared to the effort thrown. The entire family came to give me support...hugged by my siblings outside the hall was the most memorable experience (like my first degree convocation). The moment I was announced as the holder of Master Sc ICT with first class cgpa really touched my heart..not even me..my family who waited for me outside shouted when they watched me on tv hehheheeh my nephews n nieces tought I was really on aired.
So for the readers out there, seek for the knowledge as long as we still have time to do so!
