The Big Three O

I remember those sleepless nights When I was a little girl, still growing I especially remember those restless nights When I was a flimsy teenager with questions unanswered I remember the boastful prideful nights When arrogance took over and I think too highly of myself I remember the tearful nights When I realize that I was wrong That I am just a speck of worthless dust in this universe called the real world I remember the remorseful nights I remember the anxious nights When I just feel so lost I sometimes still have one of those nights But today That I am 30 My heart is full with gratefulness Tonight is a joyous one Because when I count all the blessing You have given me When I look around Everything I am Everything I have Comes from You, my Lord and saviour I wish I could tell my younger self That everything’s gonna be fine That You took care of me That You never forsake me That You really made my life complete In every way I can imagine

Reminiscing days of pursuing masters degree

So I'm reading my old blog posts about my days in Manchester... And for a moment there I want to go to school again as soon as possible. That feeling only lasted for a fey seconds though, because I realize PhD is far more difficult, I imagine. But yeah, I will get another degree, I have to. Because I'm building a career in academics. Dosens these days have to have doctoral degree. But I'm not gonna do it in near future because: 1. My husband plans to continue his studies next year, someone has got to stay as breadwinner. 2. My husband should do his studies before me because he is older and so I can use him as an excuse to delay my doctoral plan. 3. I think it would be more convenient to continue my study when the kids are bigger. Big enough to make their own Indomie, maybe? At least big enough to shower and poop without needing help... My eldest is now 3 years old and the younger one is still in my tummy! Pretty legit excuse to delay PhD, don't you think?

You know what, I blame mini blogs. Like Instagram story etc. They're so convenient it makes me forget about blog altogether in 2017. I didn't even wrote about Game of Thrones. Shame. Shame. Shame.
