Last 2 years in a nutshell and lessons learnt

  • Worked as tutor for 2 subjects at university while doing my final year project [ take on more than you can chew, and then chew like hell]
  • Was a faci in AIESEC conference [preparation is underrated]
  • Visited the middle east after a 2 years absences, visited Jordan, UAE and Oman for the first time [you can’t choose your family but if you could I would choose mine]
  • Finished the Final Year Project at Uni [time management skills still need improving]
  • Worked at The Australian Open 2010 [every once in a while you stumble upon something so busy and yet so fun]
  • Became a TED fan [ creativity and inspiration are everywhere, you just need to look ]
  • Worked at Baker Delight for a year [being in a student positions sucks]
  • Did toastmasters for 6 months [public speaking not as scary as one might think]
  • Took 2 courses of Spanish [languages are learnt by practice not just by taking courses]
  • Parents visited Australia and then went on a family vacation to Malaysia [ kids grow so fast, and family gathering take a lot of planning]
  • Went occasionally to the gym [must learn more self-discipline]
  • Hosted multiple people to stay over [بيت الضيق بسع ألف صديق ] this is an Arabic proverb roughly translating to a small house has enough space for a thousand friends]
  • Said good bye to a lot of close friends [ life moves on .. and so should you ]
  • Had my first “business trip” to Sydney and Queensland [ if you think you can do something, put your hand up, and hotels are so much better than backpackers ]
  • Had multiple amazing Sunday sessions [good times are really good energy boosters]
  • Had endless BBQs and Sheesha sessions
    لجلسة مع أديب في مناظرة أنفي بها الهم أو أستجلب الطربا
    أحب إلي من الدنيا و زخرفها و ملؤها فضةً أو ملؤها ذهبا
  • Applied for my last semester in Mexico [long term planning works and you don’t get what you deserve in life you get what fight for]
  • Was a chair at AIESEC conference [ even you if you think you’re not ready … give it a try, and when in need ask for help]
  • Got my first noise complaint [Arabs are loud by nature ]
  • Got an IBM offer [having a peace of mind is so underrated]
  • Got rejected by the ATO [WTF?]
  • Bought my Mexican trip flight last minute at an amazing price [sometimes life throws you a bone]
  • Got introduced to multiple good TV shows and movies [TV shows give you many inside jokes and conversations]
