Viva Session - Applied Business Research 13 January 2012


Alhamdulillah... Thanks to Allah for His Merciful and Gracious... Finally, my group managed to go through the toughest challenge for us in order to complete our Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) studies which is presentation of our Applied Business Research (ABR) paper entitled "Factors Contributing to Employees' Motivation: Case Study on Jet Premier One (M) Sdn Bhd" which was held on 13th January 2012...

It was the biggest challenge for me because I am a group leader and seriously, me, Suhailah and Kak Amy went for presentation that day with no confidence at all that we can pass... because our group got two killer examiners to examine our research paper... Prof Dr Wan Ghazali, who is a senior lecturer and has the most experienced in research and Prof Dr Zaini Abdullah, Vice Cansellor UiTM... Pergh!!! VC is our examiner... I was so nervous that day to face these two sifu's... Dah lah 1st draft kena reject... Luckily got a time to do corrections...

Besides that, it was very unfortunate when my wife, my life partner and also my group member, Suhailah Ismail left her pendrive where we had saved our presentation slides last night at the office... Time already 9.40am... We don't have much time to go back to office from UiTM just to get back the pendrive... Allah is great... Finally I got an idea to contact my office mate Hana and ask her assistance to send the presentation slides through email... At 9.45am... I was able to download the slides using the desktop computer inside the viva room 304, Graduate Business School... Fuh!!! I was terrified... If not, maybe we have to go for TL... "Tidak Lengkap" which means we have to re-do our ABR in next semester... Ah!!! Enough is enough... I don't even want to look at this anymore... I had enough... I hope we can pass and that's it... DONE... Thanks again to Hana...

Exactly at 10am, presentation begins ... Before the presentation, I prepared some sweets and mineral water for the examiners to ensure they are in a good mood ... Apart from that, I opened the presentation with Al-Fatihah and made some jokes to create informal environment while giving our presentation... And... It's worked ... All of us presenting the paper with relax and the examiners were very supportive that day and they have not criticized much on what we have done... We just need to do small corrections... Alhamdulillah... At 11am, all of them agreed to give us pass and we may proceed with the preparation of the Hard Cover... Yes!!! Syukur Alhamdulillah...
