Chula ... Day 2

Good day great people.

This is the second part of the Chula endeavour. We were very fortunate to be included in one of  the Chula's students PhD defense. Everything was done in a very subtle manner. It's reassuring, It's relaxing and it's comforting. In short, the session was a non-threatening one. How I wish my defense back in my homeland will be held in a similar environment.

Viva ...oh...Viva...

The BIG day has come.
The day that I 'feared' most.
This word VIVA has been bothering me seen the first day I clicked APPLY on USM website for this programme.

It's true that we, teachers have no problem addressing a big crowd.
What's more I've been the state teacher-trainer for the past seven to eight years.
I've helped Kedah Edu Dept conducting courses for teachers countlessly.
My course participants were of myriad backgrounds.
Nonetheless, I survived. I've never been shot by any of them.
In fact, I captured them ( he..he..) I mean their interest most of the time.
But, why... why did VIVA bother me so badly?
I can only share with you the answer to this question late this evening.
Till then... pray for me... wish me luck... I need lots of it!
