New beginning

As a Muslim, the new year of Islamic calendar will start this evening 4.10PM (GMT). Islamic calendar (known as Hijri) is a lunar calendar which means we will have 10-11 days less than the Georgian calendar. In the last post, I’ve tell you about my career as part-time freelancer and now I guess it is time to share you my new year resolutions for 1430H or the year two thousand and nine (2009).

  • Management: Be SMART in every objective I made. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-specific. To do this, I will start on filing all mini and major project properly.
  • Finance: Manage my finance properly and keep track on all online and offline transactions. I’ve learn a lot from my mistakes this year. Soon after I started to use Freshbooks, I feel more confident and organized – at the same time it is more professional.

  • Travel: I’ve almost finished my UK tour, this new year I would like to travel to European countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Swiss and more. I want to learn how to travel and see the world.
  • Websites: At the moment, I run lensa.co.uk, tutorial.iluvislam.com, isacstudio.com other than my personal website. I hope to be more productive in design and managing several websites at the same time. Time management is very crucial and I am determine to improve it this year.
  • University and career: As one of the top students that has been selected and sent to UK, I believe it is unfair for me to not be excel in my studies. I will try hard to make sure I can gain 1st Class Honour degree every semester to increase the chance to work with my sponsor, PETRONAS.
  • Personal: Become a better person to HIM, my family, friends, people and all living things.

    Askm Rafie,

    Jumpa website ni melalui Syafeeq. Well done for your 10p initiative.

    Everything begins with something, except HIM. As long as you are not in “your comfort zone”, you will be fine. Really happy to see anak2 melayu macam you all. All the best.

    @WeMUSliM,
    Thanks for the correction. Really appreciate it.

    @Faizi,
    Verily everything that I achieve so far is from HIM and to HIM alone I shall be grateful.

    Thanks for dropping by.

    I am humbled by your new year resolution. I think it is not too late for me to plant one tiny resolution since I didn’t make any: shop less!

    Responding to what Syafiq said, Have you zoomed in on a potential other half?

    @ms. reda,
    Thanks for dropping by. It’s alright if you want to shop, but be a smart shopper. Think back if you need what you’re going to buy and then compare the price at different stores.

    Potential other half, maybe yes. But I keep that one for myself.

    [...] client. At some point, I thought it would be really good to get organized and in fact, it is one of my new year’s resolutions. Thus, I have decided to purchase few online services which assist me on project management as well [...]
