Once Upon A Time in Computer Lab...

I have a friend. I don't know his name. We usually meet in computer lab where i work every Saturday.  

These are the things he usually say to me...

"Do you enjoy? I see you enjoy your life. You take lunch, you go to supermarket, your Mom and Dad call you, you ask them money."

"Oow, it's 6 Ringgit. it's for my lunch."

"When will you defense your proposal?"

Sometimes i wonder why he say those things. Two weeks ago i found the answer...

"I have a wife, she's also student and four children. I'm a student as well, i have to pay for all of them. Nobody pay for me, i'm not in scholarship."

"They won't kill you. They also human being. They don't know everything. They just get advantage as your lecturer. That doesn't mean they are better than you. We don't read everything, what you read, maybe i don't read it.We are afraid of the examiners. Hey, it's normal when they ask questions. But you don't need to expect what the questions. You don't expect to answer all. Like in exams, they write, "ATTEMPT to answer these following questions." Do you know the meaning of ATTEMPT? TRY. You just need to try to answer as best as you can. To give your best answer. If you are afraid this semester, next semester, then when you will present?"

"I have to sweat now cuz i wanna feel sweet in my mouth later."

"You just need to go there and tell them what you do. Be brave!"

 There is nothing to be afraid of PhD Proposal Defense. And, Hamdulillah, i have the best parents in the world. Hamdulillah. x) 

Thank you, Friend *)
