Assalamulalaikum,

Kawan ku nyk, kenak lah lamak tok ko makin slow berblogging. aihhhh. yalah koh, nang slow. actually nak madah aku busy, sik juak, ada juak masa ku ronda2 town. nak madah aku sik busy, gigih juak aku turun lab. sik tauklah. kadang2 idupan ku tok boringggg, sikda menarik nak diceritakan, lainlah kedak encik audio n encik onggon, blogger tegar, kekar, meletop. boleh sik ku hire kitak duak k update blog aku oo huhu. dahla aku tok ne lah pande nak superimpose2 segala koh. urg superimpose muka aku jadi model sunsuk, sukor sabar jak aku, aku nak counter attack, aku sik pande aihhh, make apa molah ya ooo mmm powerpoint kahh. matilah ting tong hin.

anyway aku rasa cam empty jak nektok. mmm actually aku suppose setat writing my first year viva report. tp sik setat2 gik. chemmm ni tukk. anyway apakah itu viva adik-adik??

ayati tasrip: (sambil gigih angkat tangan) oohh oon, kamek ada perodua viva kaler putih, mek suka, very the menjimatkan minyak. suka-suka. adakah itu maksudnya oon?? oon akan dihadiah kan perodua viva selepas habis first year?? hebatt!

tushee: sudah kau yati! kau very the bongok. yalah urg nyuruh belaja ngaji, ko eskep, main pok kedey tong hin, kan dah ting tong hin. kmk tauk oon, viva bermaksud lagu viva forever daripada spice girl bukan! oon akan molah show viva forever selepas tamat first year bukan? harus happening!!

oon: sudehhhhhh, sikpat selamat gik ktk duak tok!

viva or viva voce adalah perkataan bahasa latin yg bermaksud live voice iaitu oral presentation gtulah. so basically mun molah phd kat uni tok we have to undergo two major viva, first year viva and final year viva. xda kaitan viva puteh, viva forever waima viva la vida nyanyian coldplay. masa viva toklah kita defend kt pun work result, report, thesis, sama ada layak sik dpt phd.

first year viva actually menentukan kita layak sik jadi calon phd. actually, masa tok aku blom bergelar phd candidate, baruk research student sajorkk. mun dah berjaya lepas first year viva ya baruklah jadi phd candidate. kira cam candidate oscar uols! dlm first year viva, aku akan di interview oleh panel 3-4 org, tentang research aku la, so masa ya aku mestilah defend btol2. cdak akan nyk kenak aku molah research ntah papa tok. cdak akan discuss among themselves adakah aku layak in the running towards become america’s next top model. ehh salah, phd candidate.

yalah kohh, dah setat nebesrina dah aku tok, most probably first year viva aku on april, mun sik may huhuhu. chemm ni tukkkk. anyway kawan ku forward ngan aku benda tok. a reality indeed.
