25-5-2013 (Tuesday ) - I just received the email two weeks ago before I viva. The viva voce session was held on 27 May 2013. Start my preparation: bought air-ticket (24/5 - 28/5) and bus ticket as well as doing my presentation slides. Finally, I able to finish my viva presentation slides within one week. Ops! Other people may able to finish within few days, but I only managed to finish it after one week. Yes, because of LATEX, because I want to present with professional way. Of cause is because my co-supervisor. Thanks to her as spending the valuable times, and work on the slides with me before I viva. And we had 4 hours discussion during the weekend. Edited the slides one by one and explained to me step by step. Once the slides is get done, she show me the way (How to present the slides during viva - 1) At first, how to greet people, 2) How to start the slides, 3) How to link the contents between the slides, and 4) Finally, how to conclude the slides.). After that, is my turn to present in front of her. This so called "Presentation skills". To improve my presentation skills, I more prefer to learn in this way rather than attend English class. As for writing skills, I was learning when I wrote my thesis. Anyway, thanks to my both boss. My thesis is submitted to CGS without proof reading and corrections.
