I'm so glad my student improved for her EOY!
I was quite worried actually, not about her ability, but about how she will perform during the exam itself.
So happy for her improvement!
Good job, Shi Tian!
Jiayou for Sec 4! XD

Haiz!
真是无presentation一身轻啊!
It's damn shiok getting two presentations done in a day!
[Not much fun preparing for them though =/]
No more presentations to prepare for!
Except an impromptu speech which cannot be prepared for anyway...

I'm so proud of myself for my COM205 speech!
Not that it was excellent, but I personally felt that I improved quite a lot. =P
Or maybe the last time was just too lousy. =X
I am satisfied with my overall performance.
Not so much for the content, cuz I made a stupid mistake [to be explained later]; I thought my presentation style was much better than the last time.
Despite not-so-occasional-yet-not-too-frequent stuttering, I think [hope] I was loud and clear, and paused appropriately for my points to sink in.
Too bad I started off rather flustered, but I did re-compose myself a little as I went on.

As for the mistake, this is what happened when you don't practise with timing.
I thought my speech would be too long, but it was actually so short I finished before the first bell!
Note: I wasn't on bullet-train mode and was speaking at quite an acceptable pace and pausing at times.
I left out precious information which would have been very useful in making my speech more balanced and hence more persuasive.
I should have done the part on misconceptions non-vegetarians have about vegetarianism, which would have affirmed and acknowledged common perception, before I moved on with my attempt to persuade them.
I actually eliminated that cuz I thought I would go overtime!
Crap!

What makes me proudest is my slides!
I did those in less than half an hour, right before tutorial!
This is shameless pride, since it indicates my lack of preparation actually.
The slides nearly couldn't show, and I wasn't too reluctant to go without it.
Due to some miracle, the slides appeared OK when I re-opened the file.
Thank goodness, they did me no harm.
Whether they helped is another story. =P

Back to MAS!!! lecture [yuckz]...

I want a new laptop case =(
Mine's getting dirty; light colours and fabric so don't go together.
