Messages for my loved ones

I always that I've been left behind. Last time once we got married, we were expected to have kids... yet only after four years then we have our first child... Same goes with my job. I worked hard, I do all the things that people asked me to do. I have been a slave not only to the organization or my boss, but to my students as well. And what did I get? I was left behind with my research, and of course my confirmation. Now, I have two kids... more than other people who have kids earlier than me. I suppose it is a good sign. I am also working on my promotion... I hope Allah would listen to my prayer. I have worked hard for it and I hope that I could be ahead of everybody else...

I've given birth to my second child Alana Imtiaz Az Zahra on 6th of February 2010. That is actually almost a month earlier than when she's suppose to born. Anyway, since I've given birth I'm entitled to a 60 days maternity leave. Well it's a long holiday if you look at the number of days. Yet it seems so short since there's a lot for me to do. I have one program to organize, one paper to write and not to forget one research to finish. Oh... and a special project to be finished. I just hope I can do them all and by the time I finish my holiday I'll be free of these commitments and I can continue resting a bit.
