Rancangan Allah utkku hr ini

Last night got text from Prof. Eddy saying he's not well n couldn't come to the office to get the green form signed. I let my boss know n she said lets speak to admin n see what they will do about it.

Literally, this morning when I arrived at the office I met my boss n she said, she just got message from Eddy asking her to call him at home. She did, n Eddy ask to send him the electronic version of the form so that he can sign on the form n email it back to me. In the meanwhile, I've printed out the final copy of the thesis n send it to binding @ U-Print for next day services, which is next Tuesday, because Tomorrow n Monday will be public holiday here in UK. It cost me around £150 all together for 3 copies.

Alhamdulillah, around 3pm, got email from Eddy returning the signed form. It's almost done now, just waiting for the hardbound copy to be submitted to the PG office next Tuesday.

Allah Almighty, just the day before... I'm stuck with no solution, but when I give it all back to HIM, HIS plan is the BEST! TQ Allah, all praise is for Allah.

As for today 20.4.2011

Sejak Sabtu lepas sampai semalam sgt2 busy dgn ops loading brg kontena utk di hantar pulang ke Malaysia. Isnin kontena loading.
Selasa mula g opis balik, sbb sgt2 risau internal examiner not respond to my emel or my boss sinbe last Friday. We've heard that he's not well, which worried me so much. My flight will be next Wednesday, Ya Allah tinggal berapa hari je lagi, sgt2 berharap dpt hantar sblm balik, yelah bukan apa I should submit final submission within 4 weeks, now 2nd week already. Ya Allah kau sembuhkanlah Prof. Eddy, semoga urusan2 ku yang tertangguh dapat diselesaikan sebelum ku pulang. Tolonglah Ya Allah, sesungguhnya tiada daya usahaku melainkan dengan izinMU, berikanlah ku pertolongan dari segala arah Ya Allah, Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang, Amin.

Special email from Boss :)

Got this email, late this evening from my boss. Although she is tough but she is very good in her supervision style. I'm grateful, TQ Allah for things You had plan for me. Alhamdulillah atas segala kurnia dan nikmatMU, semoga nikmat ini akan menjadikan aku lebih bersyukur dan dekat padaMu, Amin.

Hi Siti,

I'm very proud of you for your brilliant performance today. you were
very professional and I was pleased to see you've taken all the points
we discussed on board. Very well done and well deserved outcome

Also the corrections are very minor which you can finish off within a
day probably! my suggestion is for the optional correction to give it a
miss. I like the table as it is and if you are to discuss the issues, it
will become yet another literate synthesis section.

Congratulations once again!

Kind regards,

Professor Dilanthi Amaratunga

I think, I must start the quarantine duration from now on.

Within 10 days..........

I must have faith n believe in myself.

Serahkan diri bulat2 kpdNYA, Tawakkal I must.

Ya Allah, permudahkanlah, Amin.
