0 Oo My Viva - A Day to Remember

Updating my blog after 7 years. 13 Mac 2024 alhamdulillah my viva date. Finally done my PhD after 7 years. When i first starts my Phd journey, my aim is to finish my research study by 3 years but, alot of thing happen along the way. Duration from 3 years became 7 years. I did 1 semester of deffered and 2 years of break due to lack of budget and stressful life. Lock down happens also at that time so everything became quite messy.

After the lock down, i went back to lab to finish up my thesis writing on Mac 2022 and alhamdulillah manage to submit full thesis by September 2023. Full one year 6 month of thesis writing. Its quite hard to start after long break but im lucky that i have a supervisor that support and trust me all the time. Without a good supervisor, its impossible to finish up my studies.

The main focus now is to finish up my thesis correction and submit final thesis for graduation. Insyaallah. When time pass by, its not about getting the title 'Dr' but its more to what type of person that i became at the end of the journey. Its easy to starts the PhD, but going through that path of life is not as same as Msc or Undergrad. The road to a PhD is long one where its easy to feel lost. Just remember, every step, no matter how small, is a step forward.
