alhamdulillah ya Allah

Alhamdulillah.. My PhD journey has come to an end. well actually, until after it was submitted THEN i can say.. anyways, yesterday was the viva. and all i can say, alhamdulillah, it was not as bad as i thought. i had imagined myself passing out, jumping around if i had the good news, crying and sobbing uncontrollably when told the results, getting a referral because the examiners were not happy. but non of the dramatic event took place! hahaha such a drama queen i would say! the only drama was that the examiner needed to rush to another meeting and thats about it. during the viva i did fumble around forgetting some vocabs, having to hit myself to get the words out.. i got minor editorial correction if i am not mistaken thats the official results. in all honesty i am just grateful that i pass and thats it!

on another note, this phd journey is a truly humbling experience. it had brought me to the lowest point of my life, feeling depressed, desperate its just unbelievable. there was no one that could have help me then but Allah the Almighty. it just baffles me that when He answered and granted my duas. I truly felt that I did not deserve it at all!! i havent been in the best of behaviour, but He is so kind as to answer the prayers.. truly amazed me with his graciousness. i am humbled and hopefully with this accomplishment, I vowed to do good things with it what ever it is and I hope i will just continue to improve myself.. i am truly humbled!
