Reading Competitive Intelligence

I’ve been busy this year. I had this sudden urge to pursue my dream of having a Master degree — something that have been delayed for so long due to financial reasons+ my lack of confidence of getting the approval from any university due to my poor first degree result. One day in a Malaysian gathering at my aparment, I met this one Prof l. who lived nearby, and he convinced me that I should proceed with it (he was a part time lecturer in OUM) so I was inspired  — not looking back (since I have an extra budget which have a strong possibilities of being used for some unnecessary stuffs in life)  –so  Bismillah .. — and I just applied for a place– first my application was rejected (my fault! I did  submit the required forms properly.. yes I do have this problem with forms..) but later was  accepted by OUM in February  (thanks to the friendly  and helpful staffs!) while I was away in Helsinki. So here it goes.. myself with a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering continuing my studies in a new area System (Master in Information Science) .. ok not so new since I’ve been doing it for work.

I think I was the first long distance student accepted  for this Competitive Intelligence course in OUM. (I have been reading about the course for quite some time but have no courage to pursue it!) I enjoyed the reading but serious reading with an exam  ahead of you is something new — submitted my coursework in the very last minute (hey! Its not easy for a working father with 4 children to do self  study at home!)  so a week before the exam I took a week  leave from work (3 days in Makkah for umrah + 4 days at home)  and later  sat for the exam in the Malaysian Embassy in Riyadh! It was tiring  where at the end of the 2nd day of exam .. my brain almost stop functioning and my hand was crammed for  too much writing.

The result?

Just  got the complete transcript yesterday and Alhamdulillah! I am speechless ..
