This is a very interesting topic, for me. Why?

Because, I think I’m pushing myself too much! I’m pushing myself too much that although my heart can tolerate, my eyes cannot anymore. My present work requires me to write a technical paper about my research work and to submit it to a very high quality journal with high impact factor. I have not done that before, but I’m trying my best now to accomplish that. After I completed this technical paper and hopefully managed to get it published, I’m going to carry on working on my next technical paper which I plan to cover about the thermodynamic feasibility of my process. That is not easy… I need to study a software and use it to simulate a modeling of the reaction processes in my reactor. Oh God…. it’s so tough that sometimes I feel like vomiting and just sleep. And after that, I need to write 3 more papers as I proposed in my research proposal. Being able to at least published 3 technical papers in quality high impact factor journal means Ph.D is (halfway) inside my hand. Oh God… please help me and give me the power and strength…

My wife always say that I push myself too much! Is that so? Am I like that? I just want to get this Ph.D study of mine settled once and for all. I don’t want to delay and drag it any longer. I’m too old already to be a student. Am I?

When I try to continue this work at home, I can’t. I lose to the battle. The battle of my interest at home which is pursuing my online ambition. I have no motivational problem on that. It’s fun and I feel great enhancing my technical knowledge on the engineering part of the search engine. Plus I need to spend time with my kids…

So what now?

I need to stay focus and focus… to complete my Ph.D… as soon as possible. It’s a personal challenge. I need to work smart and hard.

The same goes to all of you. Stay focus in whatever you are doing to succeed with flying colours…

You see, I’m a normal guy with a family, 3 kids, have my own professional career. I’m currently doing my Ph.D studies in semester 2. Yes, it’s still early as Ph.D normally requires 6 semesters. At the same time, I have to settle a consultancy project them I’m in charge off before I started my studies. My research requires me to write technical papers and publish them a lot. Not only in international indexed journal, but also write in book chapters and in magazine as well. That’s seriously not easy, but that’s a challenge I need to overcome.

At the same time, I was elected as the president of Post Graduate Society at my faculty. Wow…another big task and responsibility for me. In my research group, I’m responsible for a few things as well. I run a homestay business with my wife and colleague, which is quite profitable.

My task as a researcher/students occasionally demands me to continue my job at home. That’s the problem!!!

I always bring back my work to home but the problem is I CANNOT do them at home.

Why?

Because, no matter how… I can’t focus on those job at home because my mind and heart will only drive me to my blogs and internet / online activities. For instance, I have to correct and improve my ph.d proposal that I need to submit tomorrow, but I can’t find the strength and the will power to do it. I’ll lose the battle at home… I’ll lose to the desire of creating and establishing my online empire.

Are you facing the same thing? Same problem? Please help me…

Sometime in this life we have to make some sacrifices. That is life. I’m very grateful to have one happy family. I’m blessed with a great job and the opportunity to further my study in the highest level. What else can I ask more?

I realized I have earlier mentioned about arranging my online activities. But then, I also realize that, I need to prioritize my time with my kids, especially to monitor their studies.

Ikhwan, my active eldest son, is in standard one and require serious attention from us (the parents). He likes to play and go to school. But when it comes to doing homework and studying, he needs somebody to motivate him. That’s when we come in. I’m now committed in spending 1-2 hours every night to ensure he can perform in his study, especially in reading Malaysian and English language, jawi and mathematics. I hope we can prepare him well enough before the final examination next month. We want to see him improve his grade in his examination in both his official school and religious school.

Marsya, 5, our expressive first daughter is very diligent and require less attention in terms of her studies. She’s doing very well in her pre-school and we are trying to bring her up to another level. The only thing is her mood which is sometimes unpredictably annoying.

Alya, 3+, our charming third child, is still very small. We don’t really expect her to study seriously for the time being. We want her to have her own sweet and fun time studying at school.

That’s the current sacrifice I have to make. Maybe I cannot call it sacrifice, but rather define it as responsibility. Before this, I have not really paid sufficient attention to their studies. After work, at night, I only focus on my online activities. But, their future is very important and precious to us. We don’t want to gamble their future. We want the best for them. We want them to excel academically and morally and grow up to be good people with great career. We have to do our best to provide them with the best education and support plus motivation + love.

That’s it. I’ll reduce my online time in order to ensure my kids are doing well. I have to re-arrange my strategy because I have to spend more time thinking and running my ph.d research too.

Oh gosh… when can I relax???

My online time will be roughly around 1 hour every night, I’m guessing… And I must proportion it finely to do all the blogging, affiliate, article marketing, SEO, and other making money online duties…

Please, I seek other almost similar parents to share your experiences with me…

Returning home from a hectic day of work and a terrible traffic jam will be very rewarding especially after uniting with our own family. I always look forward for this moment and really appreciate each and every second of it. I believe, everybody, you and me also enjoy this moment…

Usually, on average, I reach home between 7.00 to 7.30 pm. I consider that late compared to my wife’s flexible working hours. Some other people will have to stay late at office or their work place simply because their nature of work is just like that. Here, I would like to share with you guys 8 things that I always do as soon as I return home from work:

1. Open the gate and park my cute Kancil.

2. Hug my kids and carry all of them for few minutes in the house. Sometimes I have to carry all of them at the same time. That is more than 45 kg. Oh yes…salam with my wife la…

3. Unbutton my uniform shirt so I will feel more at home

4. Switch to Astro ESPN channel 812 – “SportCenter” – to get hold of the latest sports news especially soccer news. My son and wife will have to make way for me. He he….

5. Check out my email, Adsense account and blog. Answer all comments as soon as possible. Those comments occasionally made me smile. I could not answer them at my office because of two reasons: No time and the IT department is watching us…

6. Take my bath and perform Magrib prayer.

7. Teach my kids “ngaji” or assist them with their homework.

8. Enjoy my wifes home made dinner. She’ll always call me before I return home, asking me what i want to have for dinner. She’ll then cook accordingly and she cook with some love

Well, that’s just a little bit something on my routine activities as I return home from a long day work. So, what about you? What will you normally do after returning from work? Or from studying (I know a bunch of you are students… ho ho…. ?
