Wow, I've just noticed my last journal update was about a year ago, written in Nov 2007. Since then I've been AWOL from dA.

It's the long year end holiday again and a few friends reminded me of dA and I remember I have an account here. What happened all these while? Life happened.

I remember back in early 2008 I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish. It's been better than what I've imagined. There are some trade-offs that need to be made, but I'm glad I took the risk. After that I've been basically working my ass off. I read somewhere that if you work really hard, you can compress 40 years of working life into four years and then you're set for life. Technology allows us to do that now more than ever. You can do whatever you want to do. I don't know if that notion is true for everyone, especially for me, but the thought has somehow taken a seat in my subconscious.

In any case, I think whichever path I choose to take will require me to work very hard anyways, so what's the big deal, right?

So I guess this is my goodbye to dA friends and community. I'm sorry I can't keep up with the messages and new deviations. I might check in back next Novemeber, InsyaAllah. I'm using Flickr and twitter, and been blogging too, especially during holidays. I hope you find what you like and be great at it.
