Missing in Action but Back to stay in 2008

This shall be a very short post. Just to inform my readers that I’m still around and I apologize for the long absence as I was occupied with family and personal matters in December thus the lack of postings for quite some time. It will definitely be a busy year for me as I’m in the process of completing my thesis(hopefully by March-but the way of going who knows!!!) and will have the opportunity to meet many interesting people this year through my interviews for my research. With the constant changes in Malaysia, its going to be very interesting yet challenging to do my research as I'll have to keep up with the changes. I've lost quite a lot of time as December was a busy month for me with the wedding, a newborn baby and Christmas all so close by. But I hope I will be able to make up for lost time by grilling myself to work extra hard this month around. So far I've already done the outlines for the chapters of my thesis and have completed the first chapter. Now comes Chapter 2,3 and not to forget all the interviews I need to conduct ( dunno the numbers yet..maybe 20..maybe less.depend on the info.. I know it sucks but with quality comes sacrifices). With all this work load I wonder if I will be able to maintain my job and do my research effectively but since I have changed to part-time I think it shouldn't be so bad!! I really need to get the engines running as time is running out and soon enough Prof will be "not so happy"that I'm lagging....

I shall be back full swing soon enough but for now I’d like to wish everyone a happy new year!! I’m looking forward to see what will happen in 2008.With scandals erupting at the wake of 2008 and bells ringings signaling that the General Elections are around the corner…I wonder what 2008 holds for Malaysia and her people…. I wonder if the Malaysian Government has learnt anything from her people, I wonder if all the demonstrations, peaceful marches has made an impact on them… I wonder if the Malaysian public realizes the significance of doing away with ISA, of boycotting the MSM, of not allowing at 2/3 majority of BN….I wonder if Malaysia is ready for the challenges posed for this coming year…..will she continue to do as she has done for the last 50 years or will there be an awakening of consciousness on the part of our government??? I guess we will have to wait and see…… won’t we????
