I have re-edited my text for presentation (with Aaron's help) and did my prezi. So esok nak kena pi print out the text again so I can edit it again and compare it to my prezi so that I can finalize the pathways. Am putting quite an effort for my presentation (prepare prezi bagai) walaupun SV pesan tak yah prepare slides. But I think, any presentations lebih cun with prezi, kan???
Pastu, I have studied my chapter 2. Have listed a few questions which I think may be asked. I bought some empty cards to write some important bits like quotes and isi-isi penting and also the Q and A. I haven't started writing on the cards tho. I figured that I should finish preparing my presentation dulu and will tackle the potential Q and A next. I hope esok by lusa selesailah proses nak prepare for presentation ni so that I can concentrate studying my other chapters.
I still feel that the area I really need to prepare on is theoretical framework.
I am sooooo risau.
On the bright side, unlike my friends Uni (also in Wien tapi uni lain), I tak payah nak susah payah sediakan makanan and minuman for people after my public defense.
Oklah u ols.
Things to do esok: Print text, re-edit, create pathways and finalise prezi.
Kalau ada celah-celah time tu nak khatamkan chapter 4.

going somewhere??
I should really consider going somewhere for jalan-jalan. Hmm...maybe pi Venice kan for a day or two. :)
Anyway, I met my SV today. Dia kata, don't worry. I am sure you will do fine. You wrote a good thesis so you just have to defend some of the points which was criticized.
So, katanya, akan ada 3 orang dalam examination panel. seorang tu chair and lagi 2 tu are the ones who read my thesis. The defence will be open to public.
Firstly, I will have to prepare a short presentation of my thesis, my RQ, theories, methods, findings. This will be followed by the q and a session. SV dah bagitahu siap-siap to read up on theories pertaining to cultural studies because he said they may want to gauge my competence in that area. *pengsan!!* Also, dia kata, cari theory lain yg may be possible to be used in my thesis, which I did not include. *pengsan*. Kenapalaaaa I left my books di KL?? :(
Jadi, mulai esok what I plan to do is to prepare my text for presentation. Sebab lepas dah prepare text tu baru boleh prepare prezi kan. Then, must read up on the theories and etc.
Tapi nak prepare presentation, haruslah baca balik my whole thesis and know everything in and out. Sigh. I tell you. I have been procastinating and reading blogs, and catching up on my tv shows. teruk betul la.
MUST START WORKING!!!!!!
Maybe I should just prepare the text kan. Sebab nak prepare text, surely I will end up reading the whole thesis. Kan??
oh mojo, sila datang sekarang!!!!!!!

bila nak sampai seru ni??
I have been lazy!!!! I am such a procastinator kan??
You see, I listed down 42 potential questions that could be asked by my examiners during viva, but I have only answered 2!!!! I am so upset with myself tapi I seriously tak de semangat nak buat ok.
I went out for drinks with a friend just now. It was nice to be able to talk to someone. She read through my Gutachten (thesis report) and said that it was all ok. Areas which was highlighted by both examiners were theory. So, I definitely will have to prepare myself for that. Sure akan ada soalan tanya why guna theory itu sahaja and etc. One examiner wished I could include more metathory while another one wanted to read more theories on identity. So, I really must read up my chapters on that to prepare myself dengan soalan kenapa i tak include theory by X or Y. Aside from that, one of the examined wished I could talk more about gender differences in analysing my data and also talk about my relationship with the people I talked to. So, have to prepare myself for that as well.
So nya, I definitely have to re-read my thesis (so malas!!! seriously rasa nak termuntah baca again sebab dah beribu kali baca ok!) and start answering the questions i have listed down (in a new note book..hehehe...love buying new staionaries!).
Hmm...good thing is I have a friend to practice my Q and A thing with. :)
Esok ada makan2 raya at the embassy and Sunday ada open house. I tell you, kat Mesia I tak sempat pon pergi open house bagai..tetiba kat sini plak pergi open house. Speaking of which, did I tell you, on the first sunday i arrived, my friend yg i tumpang duduk ni had an open house (sort of).
I love staying here because so dekat dengan Kartner (one of my favourit-est place ever) and all my favourite eateries and also a very nice playground (where Aaron got his first kiss yesterday...such a sweet talker my boy tu!!).
Lagi satu, I actually finally read up and saw the graduation ceremony and dengan frustnya nak bagitahu, tak de jubah bagai ok. :( there goes my harapan nak pakai robe dan topi tu kan. *sigh* Anyway, the good thing about convo kat sini is I get to choose when I want to go, within a year of me passing my defence. So, am thinking of attending convo masa summer next year. hehe. :)
Oklah....got to do some work or maybe watch some drama . Baru je finally wrote a short info on myself for the book (in which I contributed a chapter). am wondering what happen to the article I contributed to one journal..ye la...sekarang kan mak tengah misi nak cukupkan 2 journal article supaya balik nanti boleh apply untuk confirmation and etc. Tapi kan....viva pon tak buat lagi...so how??
oh oh....bubble tea craze is in Wien as well. Had bubble tea kat McDs tadi and I must say I love the bubble sebab it bursts in your mouth keluar some fruity yummy squirts!! yumm...
oklah....ciao!

hello dunia
Saya sekarang bersiaran dari Vienna.
I have finally started working on my Viva Voce. Sekarang cuma tengah research on what is it all about and also list potential questions.
Next, I need to read my thesis again (yang dah ditinggalkan selama almost 6 bulan ok!!!! TSK). Well...good thing is I will be reading it with a pair of fresh eyes. Tapi....sigh....I just hope I sempat khatam my thesis in and out before my viva (yang belum arrange pon datenye, FYI).
Since I have 6 chapters, I plan to study each chapter in four days (ini termasuk tulis summary and list out potential Q and A). I hope my plan will work because honestly, I am also planning to bercuti ke Spain. hehe.
I dah print out my chapter 1 and 2. I want to start by esok or lusa (boleh lagi kan nak procastinate?).
Anyway, my Aaron has found his voice and is so excited to talk in his baby language LOUDLY!!! Habis computer lab bingit because budak kecik tu pot pet. Maka, universiti bukan lagi menjadi tempat sesuai untuk I pergi. Kalau nak print document pon, kena cepat cepat sebab nanti ada budak yang nak berebut mouse, keyboard dan juga menyanyi dan pot pet dengan kuat. *sigh*
Oklah...boss kecik dah bangun nak susu. Its back to doing work while bagi susu routine for me.

Syukur
My SV finally got in touch with me about my thesis. And I am happy (and actually jumped around in the room while relating the news to Dr Sunshine) to tell you all that he said everything looks positive!!! Alhamdullillah!!! So now, I am waiting for the response from my external examiner and I really really hope that it willl be positive as well!!! Please doa untuk I yer.
Right now, I am excited and at the same time quite nervous. I really hope that I will get a positive from the external examiner and breeze through my viva, inshaAllah. Speaking of which, i tak prepare satu habuk pon ok!!!! Sat gi nk email that person from my faculty to ask about my case...mana tahu the external actally sent in her report earlier kan.
Then, I actually dah plan a few things to do during the summer holidays. Among others:
1. Get my articles published
2. Start translating my thesis to BM in order to produce a book (an idea I got from Dr Emma)
3. Settle my claims
But, sadly, satu pon I tak buat!!! Grrr....I am actually quite upset with myself. So far, I only have 1 article published. Lagi satu, tengah tunggu di clearkan. Tapi both ni, bukan la high impact journal ke apa. Journal biasa2 je. But my aim pon is to have 2 articles in 2 journals untuk expedite proses naik pangkat, inshaAllah.
yang translate to buat buku tu, well, I was just thinking might as well do it masa I tengah cuti ni kan..Sebab kita kan kena produce satu buku BM. I was thinking if I buat, bagus juga sebab sambil2 tu, sure kena baca thesis and secara tak langsung boleh prepare myself for viva. Tapi adakah??? Non ado ok.
All I do, everyday, is housework!!! Iols adalah surirumah berjaya okeh. Pagi2, hantar suami ke muka pintu, tlg pegangkan helmet dia (yes...he bought the superbike!) and bukak gate and wave goodbye. Pastu, buat laundry, Then, mandikan the boys and buat breakfast. Pastu vacuum the house and sidai kain. Tidurkan Aaron and mandi. Then, siap-siapkan Dani to send him to my moms cos he still goes to GA kat sana. Kat rumah mak, feed the boys. Then wave goodbye to Dani. Play with my boys, put them to sleep. Pastu I get to o my own stuff for about hours. Dani balik, I pon terus head back to my own house. Balik tu, masak, kutip baju yang disidai. Mandikan budak2, lipat baju, gosok baju Dr sunshine and dani, tidurkan the boys and then i rest sebab kepenatan. See...my days are filled with things to do!! I must, however, start making time for my phd work. Tak kan la abaikan, kan??
Oklah...dah tulis panjang lebar ni. Actually rumah I still non ado internet. Ni pon ehsan hanphone Dr Sunshine yang di hook kan to the laptop. hehehehe.
Will write more when I have time.
Apa pon, Syukur Alhamdullillah!!
I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s: Next time, I nak tulis pasal pengalaman dani sit for an exam in order to be choosen to masuk sekolah kebangsaan. Susah betul nak masuk darjah 1 sekarang ek?
