Dream...dream ..dream

We are in mid-year already. How fast time is passing by me and I wonder what have I achieved so far in 2008. So I started listing out all my plans in January up to May. There are small and big plans. Lets not talk about the small plans as they are really trivial. People say one must desire something to be alive. So here are my big desires sparked in this year:-

Desire # 1

In January I started a plan to further my study for Phd. It sounds grand and ambitious. I planned for this year I must come up with a proposal and submit it to a suitable university. But the moment I started to think of a topic, I got stuck...until now. Not that I could not come with a single topic but when I thought of a topic I followed up with its literature review, to see how many books can be referred to, what have been written on the topic and what is the development of that particular area of research. I know now that finding a suitable Phd topic is a very difficult, challenging and daunting process. And this is just a beginning to a more painful process of writing and completing a Phd research. No wonder not many people go for Phd. I have my personal reason to aspire this difficult desire. I am still struggling to find a topic and am not going to give up yet. Wish me luck !


Desire # 2

This desire no. 2 has been well kept in my head since a child. I dont know why lately I keep dreaming about it more often. I have been dreaming to own a Harley-Davidson motorbike since I was in primary school. But growing up in this country I learned that a Harley-Davidson is a luxury good and to own one I need to be at a level where I can afford a luxury. Honestly I am not at that level yet. But recently I caught up with an old friend who owned a Harley and knows a lot of our friends who also owned Harleys and he told me that with correct strategy and right peoples I can own a Harley at a price of a Kancil. Now that is not a luxury anymore, is it. But practically I dont think I can buy anything big until I settled down with my new house. So wish me luck for this one too !...eerrr maybe 2-3 years to come.

In conclusion, we are in mid year already and none of my big plans has been achieved yet. I need to work harder and smarter....Music please !
