Allah is so GREAT, its MIRACLE!

You don't know what will happen to you, its miracle.

Remembering when I was 8 or 9 years old.. i was sitting and watching television with my 2nd sister at home on a program so called 'Interviewing an Academician, she was Dr Fatimah Daud, (now she is a Professor with International Islamic University, UIA Gombak, KL) at that time she holds a 'Dr'. She had just completed her Ph D with the University of Malaya. I was told by my sister to watch it as Dr Fatimah is my late mom's 1st cousin's daughter (if not mistaken). Sorry, I just couldn't figure it out the exact relationship is it 1st or 2nd cousin's daughter. Anyway, my sister told me: "Lets watch this, she had just completed her Ph D and she is successful and famous now". I at that time, either 8 or 9 years old did not understand what is Ph D. But I did understand 'successful and famous'. After watched her being interviewed, I asked my sister: "How to be successful like her sis? I want to be like her". My sister smiled and answered me: "Oh..Its difficult to be like her". I then replied: "Why"? She then answered me: "Difficult because you need to study hard, 1st you need to study until you finish schooling, and then you need to go to University like me (my sister was studying at USM, Penang at that time) and then, after that, you need to have another degree, and then you need to have another degree. Then, lastly if you passed, you can get the Ph D".

I culculated all the steps my sister had told me, and replied positively: "Yes, I want. I want to be like her..I want to get a 'Dr'. My sister warned me again: "Its difficult, in order to get that a 'Dr' you must study very hard..not many people can do that". And....I said: "Yes, I will. I want to be like her, no matter how hard it is".

This conversation strikes me since i was here last year. I suddenly remember it very well and I feel funny, cute, unexpected and miracle now. I smile to myself..Allah is so GREAT!

Although I am just in the middle of pursuing this degree..but I have to be positive and leave everything to Allah..with my prayers and doa..Not only that I work hard towards it. I m telling you, sis and bro, I dont know...I will eventually get it or not, but everytime when I meet Dr Steven, he convinces me that I will make it. But it is still a 50/50 uncertainty in me untill I really make it in the month of Dec 2011.

Conclusion, what to share here with you are the dreams, the journey, the luck, the hardwork, the persistence, the doa and the prayers are becoming a whole lot of body in order to form this beautiful goal. Perhaps, it is applicable to any goals, InshaAllah. I don't know if I will achieve it or not, but for sure, I am doing it. I am still in the state of disbelieve that I am now approaching semester 4 this coming September. As time goes by, I will face anything that surfaced in between, after or in the end. Just being myself, I am doing it honestly and willingly to Allah. One thing I realised, if you are honest, kind, redha and syukur, Allah will be with you no matter what you are pursuing. HE could opens up everything and HE could closes anything right in front of your eyes :)
