15 months down the lane...

It has been almost 15 months since I passed my master programme. People around me keep talking about research....papers...all for promotion basis. So far, I have not done any research on my own, there is no plan whatsoever in the near future, I think. I have no passion for research, although I enjoy teaching. Hence, I am planning to concentrate only on teaching and my clinical work. Promotion is not my aim....

I am content with what I have now..
..a good and secure job with a good salary
..the eversounderstanding husband
..a loving child...although I am grateful if I could have more
..a modest house...which will be fully mine once I finish my bank loan in 18 months time
..two cars, eventhough they are a bit run down, they can function very well

...is it a modest lifestyle? I think so.
I could have more, but I will be burdened with endless bank loan...

I aim to
..perform hajj with my husband in the next 2 years inshaAllah
..increase my knowledge in islam and commit myself to Allah's cause
..prepare for the next world.....I have spent my whole life for this worldly gain...not for the hereafter...
..educate my daughter for this world and the hereafter
..do my job well
..be good to my mother
..travel overseas & see how other people lives
..increase my sadaqah
..learn arabic to understand Al-Quran(this has been my long living dream, which I haven't fulfill)


I am already 35...and getting older. I need to continuously muhasabah myself
