My FYP Journey

Its been almost 1 year or maybe more than 1 year I haven't updated any in this site. So today I want to share my fyp journey which means that, the end of my degree journey.

So let me start from how I request my supervisor to supervise me for my FYP. I proposed him during my internship which means before come back for my final year. So, I tried to email him regarding my proposal and propose to do cloud computing for my project. He replied to me, said that he willing to supervise me if and only if I willing to do augmented reality as my project. After discussed with my friends, I decided to take it as my project. I said to my main supervisor that I have no experience or any idea on how AR works and he replied: "that is the purpose of fyp, to learn something new". So I agreed to take it as my project and when the semester started, he gathered all his students in the meeting room and briefed us on what we should do.

I remembered there is one meeting that I can't attend physically to the meeting room since I was away from my university, he willing to do a video conference with me so that I was not left out from the meeting. I was assigned to another supervisor, which means that I have 2 supervisors for my project. At first, I was shocked why only I got 2 supervisors meanwhile others have only 1. But it was not the big issues since both of my supervisors was helpful. They refine each of the content of my thesis until I managed to defend my proposal during my first and second viva. I was very thankful to have both of them, where they didn't limited communication channel for me to contact them.

Back during my FYP 1, there was a time where I was lost, where totally lost, I cried alone in my room just because someone tried to compare me with others. It may sound childish, but it does give an impact on me until there is the time where I felt what I've done was nothing, useless. It happened right after my first viva, a few days before my final exam. I tried to do all my amendments and stay away from toxic people. And I managed to score A- for my FYP 1.

So this semester was my development phase for my project. I tried to browse many tutorials so that I will no felt lost. So right after the development process was done, I need to go for testing with my user target. My supervisor sent me to school for testing and managed all the things. He really helped me out during that day. So during the second day of testing, he asked me again who sent me back during my first testing as he was back early due to the meeting. I told him that my friend fetched me. He asked again who gonna send me on the second testing since he has class on that day, I said, my friend will come with us. He really cares about his students.

This semester was tough where, right after I presented with my examiner and do the amendment, my application was ruined and I can't fix the error. It happened a day after I met my examiner and a day before I need to present the application with my supervisor. I remembered during that day, I want to give up on everything but after all these things, I tried to figure out and redo all the application from zero. On the next day, I met my supervisor and told him that my app was ruined, my backup files were ruined and I need to redo from start. He shocked but still didn't scolded me. And surprisingly, I managed to fully develop the new application just within 1 week and all the amends need to be done within the application was run successfully. May it was the 'hikmah' behind all of these things.

And when I presented in front of my examiner again, she approved it and I managed to get approval for my thesis right before my final exam started. And today is the day where I submitted my printed thesis to my supervisor and faculty. It was a stressful yet beautiful journey for me. I definitely will miss this journey. May I have extra rezq to further my study for master. By the way, since the day after my app ruined, I haven't cried for it. I finally managed to control my emotion for this semester just for small things.

Appreciation for those who helped me throughout this semester. Thank you everyone.
