After almost two months of leaving my blog behind, I feel a sudden urge to write about what I've gone through during the two months. I'll begin with what happens in November.
It was a very hectic and challenging month to me. There were tears and joys in going through November...There was so much to be done and yet so little time. I was burdened by the crazy deadlines...

Finally, after departing from Shah Alam yesterday, I felt so relieved that it was as if a heavy stone had been lifted from my head. I really couldn't believe that I was able to go through all the challenges. It was really tough and I'm happy that I did not give up. It has also given me new experiences that I think I'd never be able to experience it if I have given up easily. One of the unforgettable experiences was leaving my office at 4 am for two consecutive nights when noone except for the security guards were there.
All these challenges have made me a tougher, wiser and better person. I really appreciate the support from my family and especially the student who is really close to my heart, Zainatul Afeeqa who supported me during the tough times. Without these supports, I don't think I'd have the courage to go through everything by myself.
So, mission accomplished.....yesss!!!
