Starting anew | Doa kami

Sometimes it is hard to come out from the certain state of mind. It is hard to take people’s advice sometimes or when I take their advices, it does not make sense to me.

Today is day 2 of listening to Dr Guy’s videos on both his website and youtube, and I have gained some clarity. I was looking back at my previous writings and realised why it was sketchy and people trying to make sense of it. The other thing that make sense for me is why I struggled. Dr Guy’s opinion about comparatives analysis will take up more time in dissertation and it makes sense. No wonder I am struggling. I struggle because I am doing a three point comparison. I feel that I am undertaking a doctoral instead of masters degree instead due to the nature of my topic.

How genius of me.

Anyway, the little achievement of today is finally writing a clear purpose statement. I can’t wait to learn the literature review part so that it does not suck and help me in my problem statement later on.

Also, getting unstuck in my dissertation is also helping move on in other aspects of my life. I have decided to give my website a revamp, and to move on to the goals that I wanted to do since end of last year. Not telling what are my goals are yet, as telling my goals to other will lead to failure of the execution of my goals.

I love Indonesian worship music and being in mostly English speaking environment, I don’t hear much of good quality Bahasa Malaysia worship music, or even covers of it at least.

I did a search on youtube and found a Malaysian version of it, done by the brothers and sisters from the East Malaysia.

It’s so good. While it is a cover but I love it because:

  • Studio quality.
  • Adapted to the Malaysian version. I have been finding for the version of this song so I can send it to other Malaysians.
  • The use of sape, which is a form of embracing one’s identity and culture.

I really do hope they can make more videos in the future.
