Thousand Apologies

Assalamualaikum my friends,

I am extremely sorry for being so silent these past 8 months.  I had a shocking news last February.  My company, which is a very stable and a Multi-National company, announced that they will be slowly reducing the staffs in the next five years.  However, looking at the progress, we are speculating that the company will take less than 5 years to remove all of us.

This surprising news gave a very big impact to me as I have a lot of commitments.  I was numbed in the first few months and don't know what to do.  I still don't know what to do actually, but I am slowly thinking.  I am extremely slow in looking for a way out this time around, to my dismay.  We are given 5 years or less and I don't know which year I will be eliminated.  I need to now make some moves to secure myself.  I am not ready yet to leave the "rat race" or the normal employment.  I will keep this within me first but if I am successful in securing another job, I will let you know.

Life goes on as per normal now while I am planning in the background. I pray that Allah will show me the best plans for me and ease my way to make this plan successful.  I seek Allah's help to lead me to the right path, that is the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor on.

I would like to wish all of my Malaysian friends a Happy Merdeka Day.  May we celebrate many more peaceful merdeka day in years to come.
