6.0 POSTGRADUATE ACTIVITIES 37 Some says “Life’s begin at forty”, I believe it does ring the truth. When I completed my International Master’s course (2008/2009) and graduated from Asia Europe Institute (AEI), I was forty years old. Three years later, I am back again in AEI to pursue my PhD and now I am in my third semester. I believe the phrase ‘life begins at forty’ truly fits me. It is a new journey for me with a different ball game. When I registered for the PhD course, I didn’t realize how tough and challenging it was for me. The first semester, my mind was truly fuzzy, blurry and without any idea of what to do or where to begin with. Despite the difficulties, AEI was very accommodative and helpful to student such as me. Other PhD students like Pek Yen, Sameer Kumar, Fatihah Bandar and Shahariah Norain (to name a few) was very helpful and supportive as well, even AEI’s very own Raja Kamariah too, assisted me in making sure that I am able to cope through this academic journey. My utmost appreciation and thanks to Associate Professor Dr. Md Nasrudin Md Akhir, AEI Executive Director and Dr. Azmi Mat Akhir, Deputy Director of Academic for giving me the support and encouragement to pursue this academic journey.
