Beware!! Long entry below!

As i walk to Kaplan, i am taking deep breathes and tell myself to keep calm..
Room 307 .. i walked to a unfamiliar corridor and saw the room which i am suppose to enter.
My visualisation is a big lecture room with seats of hundreds and you really gonna project your voice far and loud..
Taking another deep breathe, i enter the room.
To my very surprise, it is only a small room with seats of say 20 and no windows. Just like the tutorial room in my poly days.
One lady was presenting and there are about 5 other nervous students awaiting their turn.
I am the fifth on the queue.

Anyway there is no grading to this presentation. Just.. well present. It is a requirement so we had to do it.
As i listen to their presentation .. acting i am interested but in fact i dun ..
Inside i am thinking .. "wat the toooot!! This is presentation?? It sucks."
Slides full of words like report.. words small until we need to strain our eyes ...
One even have the full financial statement with all the figures staring at us ..
Bringing out a script and read ... read the slides as thou the audience are not around ...
In fact, i can see that most of them are not singaporean.. most are 'Cina' in fact..
OMG, one even mumbles throughout the whole session as if she is talking to herself ...
Is really Buey tahans ar ..... errrr ...
It is the worst i had seen in my life .. frankly. Even during poly days, my classmates did much much better.
For me, i just do the job and get it done short and sweet .. anyway no grading, why bother.
Definitely i cant say my presentation is perfect .. i am not.
I think i need to improve on my articulation and slow down a bit. Or rather i should eliminate the thots of 'getting over and done with' and just treat as a sharing process and 'share' the info out.

Comments of my presentation as follow:
1. Calm n steady
2. Good Voice projection
3. Well prepared and researched
4. Good Effort
Areas for improvement:
-Add colours and pictures to slides where appropriate

Nevertheless, the purpose of this presentation is to make an effort to present your project. Everyone deserve a round of applause more the effort.
As the professional presenter said, human have 2 main fear
1. Stage Fright
2. Fear of death
Today we try to overcome the first, we took the first stage.
Overall still a fruitful experience and in fact i have no regrets doing this project.
Degree not tat recognise.. who cares.. as long as i got one. I am doing for myself not others.
The feeling of completing the project (soon) is great .. the grumbles .. the late nites .. the stress .. all are worthwhile and i had achieve what i want to by completing it.
It is the learning process that i benefit.

Today i shall give myself a break .. no report no books .. just rest and relax.
I felt so good as the big load is almost half way down. Just a bit more to go.
Whether i got the first clz hons or not, i am the winner.
Will try to submit this week and my revision shall kick off next week.
Monday will be the big day. Exam Results out.
Hope that i pass both modules i took last year.

Time flies .. 2 more modules and i will graduate. This path to this stage is certainty very tough.
Looking back .. i am glad i sign up for the course and learnt alot.
Most imptly, it goes along with my dreams. That is what keep me going.
If the fire inside you is gone, you will lose your motivation.
Keep it buring.. keep the hopes alive and keep going soaring for greater heights.

Time to enjoy!!!

Many thanks to my editor, Dear2 feng2!!.. hehe.
