Yeahuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

No more 8 cups of coffee in a day!
No more sleepless nites!
No more reciting formulas in sleep which annoyed the baby because it kept waking him up!
No more "Sorry sayang, I need to study. I will make up to you when all of this finish" lines!

Hi Pattylicious! how have you been? Hows the exams?
Man, 5 modules for exams in a month is no easy thing especially when you have only from Fridays to Sundays to study on each subject! Not to mention, children and husband who need your undivided attention!
To share my lesson learnt in time management:
1. Do what's considered as a prriority 1st - e.g Spending time with the kids & hubby, cooking for the family. A true scenario for me - Law exams was on that very day which involved alot of memorizing. I was panicing because I was entertaining so much on family, I was constantly worried about having sufficient time to study. But I kept telling myself that no matter what families comes first as well as your responsibilities as a wife and a mother. (This will link to lesson number:2)
2. Sharing is caring - I have omitted "Kiasu" since being a Muslim as to share knowledge with others, you will only gain more knowlegde in return". This is so true when I called for a locked classroom to be opened for revision purposes prior to the exams ( the school had kept all classrooms locked so that student cant do funnt things like writing answers on the tables or what have you). The chapters which I revised with my college mates in last 30 minutes before the exams came out! Talk about Hikmah man! Alhamdullilah!
3. Knowing when to indentify and accept help - All that has happened in the whole month of my exams, Allah has showed me little miracles thorugh his little nudges and I am blessed to have that from him.
Examples - the moral support of my family and even at work has been amazing. I was given study leaves (and there I was worried about not having enough leaves to take for my next semester exams) which contributed ample time for me to study. I didnt ask for study leaves because I thought I wasnt eligible. Tau2, nah! kana bagi yo! Cool inda?!?!?!
Now that itself, has given me more motivation to succed as well to cherish all forms of support even from work. The team has given me so much support and now, I'm driven to support them even more in return. Forget that " Aku2 -Kau2" bullshit. Positive teamwork gets us anywhere!

So whats next now thats all done?
Assignments! Surveys! Case Studies! Report Writing!
Work!
Blogging!

Well, my hubby has just bought me a DSLR - canon 500D. hehehe *Blush* I can then start on my photography interest and well, there is the studio's blog . I promised myself to work on it for the band members :o). That should be a fun project. I'm hoping that the more I read and write, I will be able to polish up on my writing skills :o)

Call me all spiritual and all, but my instincts had worked most of the time and when I self -reflected at the end of each day, I know deep down all thats happened, happened for a reason. We just have to accept and believe in Allah :o)

And that I end with a prayer that I passed the exams! Amin!

Until next time,

Bee-outch!
