My First Presentation XD XD

Today is the big day for our group…it’s our first ever presentation!!! After weeks of arguments, discussions, surveys, researches and much more unseen effort done by each group member of mine and of course, Kilmasis lend me a hand on the video clip in our presentation which I truthfully thank him here…I wonder how hard he has been working…the clip he made was beyond impressive XD…and here we are, our presentation day.

At first I was pretty worried ‘coz the presentation slides was totally a last minute work in…er…2 days time? I cant remember =.=|| anyway…main point, we have our contents and our research results ready BUT our report wasn’t ready, we don’t even have any slide ideas not even mention the script =_=|| and again, thanks to Kilmasis…he spend the whole nite giving me Q&As for all the detail I need for my slides...In the other hand, while I have to deal with the report, my part of slides, I still hav to watch out my other group mates as some of their slides r goin extremely boring…the best part was…we’re still making changes to our slide contents n scripts b4 we go on for our presentation!!!

Finally…it’s our turn…we hav to set up the projectors n speakers coz we’re using Meng’s laptop n the speakers are for the video clip. We took a bit of time fixing the projector. And then here comes the BIG moment…I, as the group leader introduced my group mates and Wai Chain, n Jia Meng started with all the game facts, reasearches, and game histories while another Jia Meng(we’ve got 2 Jia Meng(s) in our group XD) and I briefly introduced the heroes and gaming tactics.

Amazingly, when it was my turn to present, I wasn’t nervous as I thought I would…I guess it was the teaching experience that’s working :) Finally when hyperlinked the end slide to the clip which slightly surprised part of my classmates XD…and there goes the video. When the movie was goin on, I can see the amazement in my classmates so as the seniors outside the presentation room and some of students from other courses in another classroom. When the video ended there was a moment of total silence…and then there comes to loudest applause of the day!!! XD XD XD At that particular moment, I feel that every single effort was worth it :D

After the presentation session of the day was over, our English lecturer, Dr Roy insisted a photographing session with every students who did presentation that day. Later on the lecturer told us that she was totally impressed with our presentation and she’s getting interested with the game XD

Refugee Images

The Panggung Bandayaya
I was dragged by Kilmasis to watch his performance at balai seni lukis…well, not particularly me actually…it was me, ling n eli…3 of us were there. Though this is the first time i’m watching kil’s performance so kinda dunno-wat’s-gonna-happen mood there. The performance was actually performed by a group of choir called “Canticle Singers” (hope my spelling was right) n kil is one of the members there. Though it’s jus kinda small theater, that place was half full…mayb it’s b’coz the perform time was at the middle of working hours…Surprisingly, b4 the performance started we were to sing the national anthem...this is kinda first time to me coz I tot that idea was jus only some say-no-do act of the government =_=||


The performance was excellent…it was a story of refugees from Vietnam trying to look for a new home. Though looking at the story intro outside the theater wasn’t so impressive…but when I watch the performance, I can feel the story…kinda touching…I truly enjoy it :D
