I'm making quite good progress. Truth be told, I'm much more confident with where I'm going with my paper after last week's 3 hours consultation with Renee. I need to write a work plan, an academic work plan. I have no idea how but at least now the flow of my paper comes out from my brain easily. I'm just going to start typing like crazy and make sure that I will be able to finish it by end of March. I'm left with 2 weeks to complete it and at least 3 weeks of just constantly editing it. In Shaa' Allah, I will be able to do it.

Module: Strategic Management In A Creative Industry
Title: Kinokuniya - Expanding Their Market Share
Update: 1, 040 words, 13 pages, 6 tables & 3 images
Deadline: 08th May 2015

I honestly have no idea what I am learning in this module at all. The module is totally for higher management people who are planning for the future of their company. It's completely different from just understanding the vision and mission of the company. It's thinking of ways of making the company last for the next few ways. I really am completely lost and if there was an examination for it, I would completely failed it even if I studied for it. I will start stressing it out about the paper in April, most probably during the first week of April. In Shaa' Allah, I will figure it out.

On a side note, I really got to stop binge-watching tv shows while researching my papers. I have no idea how I do it but apparently, now it's the only way for me to do my assignments. 

TV Shows
- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - 13 episodes
- Cucumber - 8 episodes
- Empire - 10 episodes so far
- Jane The Virgin - 15 episodes so far

I really need background noise in order to do my assignments. I can only work with TV shows as my background noise. I so screwed up.

I am no longer working at Kinokuniya anymore, after working there for exactly 4 months. Now I have loads of free time to fully concentrate on my papers, like really hardcore concentrate on them. It was fun working there even though it was really tiring just standing there for 4 hours straight. Working there made me realize that I constantly need my mind to be active and helps me know that I need to constantly have goals in my life in order to move forward with my life. It also helps to rekindle back my love for books and my love of buying books and just putting them on display. I can't believe that I spent nearly $500 on books and comics after the 30% staff discount. And to think that I have like another 114 books on my wish list.

I really looking forward to go to KL for the Perkamus AJL event from the 8th - 12th April. I get to work with Nadia, her mom and most probably her cousins again. I know it's going to be fun but at the same time, I am hoping that I will learn a lot of new things. And it will be my first job overseas. In Shaa' Allah, everything will work out fine down there.


In Shaa' Allah, I will graduate with First Class Honours and get the Best Graduate Award.
