Time flies… If time flies where does it go? Tup tap tup tap I can’t believe how fast time has gone and it’s August already. It means that I already started my study for 8 months. As the clock ticks off minutes, hours and days, there are many things that have not finished but the clock keeps ticking leaving me with less time. In a few short days it will be September. That puts me only two + one years from the duration of my scholarship will be lasted. To be frank, there is not much progress in my study. I still have to attend few classes to accomplish my course work and next semester is scheduled that I have to sit for my comprehensive exam and if only I pass the papers I can proceed to the thesis writing. There are still few hurdles to go through.
Time goes by so fast and the older I get the faster time goes. I always feel I am getting older and older (of course lah because I just add another year on my age).
I remembered vividly last year at this exact time I was so busy handling the problem of my scholarship and I wrote an entry of Nisfu Syaaban (August 28, 2007). Last night, it was Nisfu syabaan night again. Can’t believe it, it has been a year since I posted that entry. Time has flown so fast until but I wonder whether I have used the time wisely or did I accomplish everything that was meant for me to do? I can't go back and get back the time that passed me by but one thing I know life has to go on.

Interesting but you should add another phrase;
To realize the value of FOUR YEARS
Ask the sponsored Phd students who haven't finish the thesis writing.
Good luck and keep your good work.
Dear Azuriy, Assalamua'laikum,
After reading the nice phrases, I remember one hadith below;
Make a wise use of our leasure time before comes the busy time,
Make a wise use of our time with good health before we become sick,
Make a wise spending of our money before it runs out,
Make a wise use of our life when still young and energetic before we become old and weak,
Make a wise use of our time when still alive before we die.
Wish your PhD is done in TIME. No matter how hard, just do'nt forget to keep smiling, coz it makes the hard parts softer. Wallahua'lam, I-lal-li-qa' Was-sa-la-mah.
Zu, i'm getting older too. waa!
