When I graduated in 1999, I made a promised to myself. I wanted to do my second degree before reaching 30. As I knew that I’m bonded with my company for the good 6 years, I was hoping that the company will sponsor me for it. Hubby kept on reminding me to further my studies, so as my mom & dad. But I always told them…tunggu dulu la ye.
Well time flies so fast that I need to struggle with my married life. And then my responsibilities doubled when I was gifted with the two adorable kids. The days fly even faster.
End of 2006 also (that time tina was off to further her study), I suddenly realized that oh no..I’m reaching 30 in just a few months time, and I had owed myself something. Yes, It’s Master degree. I told hubby & my parents about it. And they supported me. Alhamdulillah. Feeling that the kids were big enough to play together and with lots of hopes that they will understand, I’d did my own research on the available courses. I made up my mind and applied for a course in Graduate School of Management of UPM.
GSM accepted my application. And I had prepared enough saving for the fees coz I knew I’ll not be extending my bond with the company. During that time, I was having a tough time at work. Not just work but the environment made me even worst. Struggling with the project, vendor and also all of the reports just made me felt so damn terrible. Back from work I had to rush to school. And when I got home @ 10.30-11.00pm, the kids were still awoke waiting for me to layan them…Argh…Tiring, Tension and kesian, and all sort of feelings..
It became worst when on weekend, hubby got to handle his business at the park while I need to complete the assignments/works (either at home / school / office). The kids were looking so dull, they had to stay at home and hoping that somebody will bring them to anywhere…I was so sad to see them in that condition, mcm anak takde bapak&mak, just bibik around to layan them..
One night when I was about to sleep after a tiring day (work& school), hubby whispered to me.. “ mummy, can you just stop working for a while? Apply for leave” And I replied, I want to try first..I’d promised my Mr.FBI (My SM) that I’ll try to handle it. He said, “Pls decide on the priority..work, family, study…I can support & the family insyaallah…but of course tak la dpt nak mewah2 sgt..If u agree, applied for leave ya..”
That night, I really can’t sleep. I’m thinking about my job. Then My family.Then my Study. I was pinned in between…to decide for the better.I woke up early and rushed to work. When I’m at work, I had no time to think about that…But few days after, I had the urged to submit the letter to apply for No-Pay-Study-Leave for a good 1 year 3 months. And I’m so thankful to Allah, as it went of smoothly…I dunno…How I did it..I became a full-time student and a at-home mother within 3 weeks time. Alhamdulillah.
And now, I had done with all the lectures, assignments and etc. Just another exam in the month of December. I really appreciate all the support from hubby, family and friends. At first I don’t felt too secure. I didn’t really know what to expect. And at times, I did expect the worst. But Allah is always there..Giving us light…Alhamdulillah
But I knew hubby had done too much…It’s not easy to satisfy me. But he did it…I got everything from him …Lots of love, Lots of vacations (local and overseas as of Asia la kan..) , shopping expenses and etc. I know I can’t afford to pay him the amount of $$$ he spent, just that I can only afford to give him more love, attention and care. I dream of a second degree while he dream of a business. And we tried our very best to support each other…Dear, I love you soooo….Let’s have fun @ Phuket…Just the two of Us…Leaving the kids at home…hehehee….
Hubby who managed to turn hobby into $$$..Luv ya!
Us on our trip to Phuket last May..yeh yeh..going again in Nov!
