Repost from Nov 2012.



I was fiddling with my blogs (current and old one) when I found this old post from November 2012 and I thought I'd repost it for a few reasons. 

The post made me think about how much I've changed and matured since I wrote it. It made me think about how much I've achieved. It made me realise that dreams can come true if I work hard enough for it. 

When I wrote the post, I did not have a Master's degree. Today, a bit more than a year later, I am happy to say that I've completed my Master of Education at Macquarie University, Sydney. Alhamdulillah. 

When I wrote the post, I was single. I had no idea that today I would be engaged to the loveliest man and InshaaAllah will be getting married in May. 

I am so grateful for all His blessings. I don't know what I did right to deserve all this but I am very very grateful. All this would not be possible without Him. Alhamdulillah.

She told me how much she loves the process of being pregnant and urged me to find out about Hypnobirthing/Gentlebirthing. She then told me how she made the decision to give birth to her second child using HVBAC - Home Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (read her story here: My HBVAC Hypnobirth Story   One of the reasons she made this decision was because of her traumatic first child birth experience. She, however, stressed the importance of being well informed about the process of childbirth etc. Anyway, a few days later she emailed me two e-books on gentle birthing and told me that I must read it!  I recently got around to start reading the books she emailed me (Th...

So...

I sort of asked him if he has found the one he wants to spend his life with. At first he didn't want to answer. But I made him answer anyway. Then he said yes... and continued telling me about the girl that he wants to maybe marry one day. I smiled. Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan jodohku. Amin.

Me, sitting at my desk, struggling to finish my reading.  I turn to my roommate: "No matter how hard this is and how much I am struggling right now, this is still better than teaching. This is 'pain' that I'm willing to go through" then my roommate says: "Yes because as a student, if you don't know what you're doing, it's part of the process, but as a teacher, if you don't know what you're doing..." Me: "...then you feel like a failure! yeah..." *Don't get me wrong, I love teaching and I love my students. It's just that I sometimes feel that I am not competent enough or experienced enough to teach. Also, the teaching environment that I was in was too much for me to handle, I felt lost most of the time. My self-efficacy as a teacher just went down. I needed to get out of that environment, and I did.
