As of 10th April 2016

Greetings blogger! 

Finally, I updated my blog's template and arranged each item properly. Big shout out to newbloggerthemes.com for creating and designing such an adorable templates. I wanted to add background music to my blog but the thing is, I failed to do so. I've tried few steps that I google-ed but nay, it didn't succeed. Where do I get the song's URL which end with .mp3? I stuck there. Therefore, I decided to just arrange it some other time. Perhaps if any of you, who read this post can help me to resolve this matter? Just drop it at the comments area down there. Thank you in advance :)

Yes, it's 10th of April already! MIC new semester just began last week and as usual time really does flies if student's were around. My schedule for this semester quite pack but never mind I preferred going to class with the students rather than stuck with the office's work. I hoped and prayed that I'll get along well with my new students just how it works with my previous and current students. 

Spent my weekend by doing a revision for my upcoming exam. I barely able to finish 1 chapter within this 2 days and I still have 9 more chapters to go. Just for 1 subject. The other subject? No comment. My goodness, so this is how it felt to study and work in the same time. Just after I know that I've been accepted to pursue my study in Master, I am so damn happy and I thought it's gonna be cool and I can't wait to start. But then, the reality bites me. It's matter of balancing every single aspect of my life. I know I will survive, but how? The question remain unanswered.

And I have a new commitment again. Thank you bapa! I'll treat that as my advance birthday gift. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I hope it will lead me to become a more responsible person. At least, I'll know where my money will go every month and financial management it is.

So, as a conclusion for today's post, I'll summarized on what I've learnt about "Managing and Performing" in the Organization and Business Management Subject;
