I just want to say maybe it is Allah's will that I stumble upon this blog of yours this morning. I am in a very huge dilemma right now. Dilemma similar to the example you've given in your blog about a guy who's current job gave him comfort and ease but never the dream he wishes. I am holding a rather high position in my company as a business reperesentative for their venture abroad as well as leading their design division. I am an architect. My current position is enviable by most but Allah knows how I've left behind most of my dreams and goals just to keep this job. Recently I received an offer to start my own company, something that I've been meaning to do but just the time isn't right - financial crisis. So, I've done many effort to see whether it is the right thing to do including the ultimate advise-seeking prayer of Isytiharah. After the prayer last nite I had a strong feeling tht I should take this change and coincidently it coincide with Awal Muharam. And for some reason, as I've mentioned, I stumbled upon your blog. As I said, I don't really know you but I wish to thank you for the effort you took to write this blog. Please pray for me as I will pray for you in our life's success - InsyaAllah. Thank you.

Especially you have been jobless for 5 months, and with that decision you will need to spend another 7 months jobless. But I agree with you that, that maybe the better decision. At least now, you know for sure that for the next 7 months you will be given a responsibility to teach. Instead of hating yourself for making that choice, and be jobless for another 7 months, maybe you can look at it another way. You are now given 7 months to prepare yourself both mentally and physically to teach. Spend that 7 months to make friends with lecturers and maybe dig some secrets from them. Learn everything (however trivia) there is to know about handling university student. Mind you they are very smart :) and most of the time the lecturers were outsmarted Believe me... you have made the right choice :) moon – it really is hard to make that decision.

I'm sure you have no regrets what so ever joining the Angklung club. and from what I read in your blog, you really love the art :) Good for you make the choice and leave the other thing to Him. Everything will be fine, and you know this first hand :) azuwachan – a very good example of why we need to be brave.

I am quite confident that u will be able to adapt urself wherever you are. Bak kata org, (aiseh banyak pulak bak kata skrg...) dicampak kelaut jadi pulau, campak ke tanah jadi gunung :) bukan senang nak tabah.. mcm wall climbing, setiap saat kita berjuang dgn gravity. kita rehat pun kita berjuang, kita ke atas lagi perlu tenaga utk berjuang. dan kadang2 kita terlalai dan lemah, tak mustahil kita terus jatuh kebawah.. so kuatkan semangat, dan terus berdoa minta pertolongan dari Dia, insyaAllah Dia akan tunjukkan jalan :) mrozaidi – salam maal hijrah kembali saudara :) moga terus ceria

I had that feeling of fear when I first thinking about joining angklung club. and I was alone; no one was with me and no one wanted to join me. I only decided to join at the very last hour of the registration period. it was totally a hard decision-making. and kalo dulu2 I mmg tak ramai kawan dkt UIA, now I knew almost everyone in UIA's cultural and arts unit, especially all those musicians. plus, kalo I never went to the booth and braving myself to register, I won't get what I already got now. so yes, you have to be brave to change. what'll happen after that, just leave it to The Almighty. He is the One who knows what's the best in store for us. The only thing we have to do is, just do it :) Lastly, Salam Ma'al Hijrah to all. God bless us. totally agree. mmg susah nak buat decision as we have to be brave to take the risk for something new.
