A Learning Process

Presentation day. uh.

Sometimes you have to prepare yourself for something important, or you’re dead meat.

Today.. er.. yesterday (cos it’s already near 3 a.m) was the presentation day for Project 1. It’s the 1st presentation for studio-life in Gombak and like usual, I feel nervous when I do something new

Well, it was a half-horrible day :sighing:

in addition, i got a bit headache and it’s so cold (i hoped someone could switch off the aircond) uh, i can’t stand that, but i don’t feel going to the restroom at that time.

sheesh. i gonna puke :sick:

one of our teammate can’t attend the presentation. huh. no comment

*above is napi and imah*

there were 9 groups. and i was in group 7. it’s such a long time for a group to present (plus the time for the supervisors to give their comments :talktohand: ) hu. no choice. we have to wait.

and finally, it’s our turn to present. well, i did my so amateur introduction and the best damn thing is - everyone was laughing at me uh. s**t. again, no choice i just have to present my points.

i don’t know whether it’s cold or i was still nervous, but my verbal presenting was bad . everyone continued laughing. ah, let them laugh. but at that time, i remembered what syam had taught me in his comment. his second point - change the intonation. speak louder. so i did it :peace: and although my grammar is not good enough a.k.a manglish, i felt satisfied with that ‘intonation’

and yeah, our power point had been criticized, SJ said it was like the school kiddo’s presentation. yeah, i admit it. have to improve it and make some add-ons.

maybe i, napi, imah, and alia will not in a team again. we might be reshuffled with the others. SJ will makes his decision based on Project 2. uh. no comment. i can’t say anything cos i myself just not good enough in doing works.

it’s life. and i’m so tired :tired:

but life’s going on, isn’t it? if you’re so lazy to do anything, it’s better to stay in the grave.

everybody prefers to get more and more in this temporarily life :daydream: . even a rubber tapper wants more latex everyday.

well, it’s time to change. i have to improve myself. duh. well, for the sake of my future.

maybe i’m not the best, but at least i do something meaningful in my life.

i have to read more and at the same time do a lot of practice. hu :sweating:

yeah, maybe i’ll try to approach zayyan, kim and er.. what’s her name..? oh yea, nelza. they’re good in english as well as presenting.

oh yea, maybe i need to practice speaking in front of the mirror. uh :isk:

no choice. just do it. and for me, it’s normal to do mistakes (sometimes).

a learning process. hm. i accept it.

~ teringat zaman2 study dulu. dlm 1 sem ada 6 presentation, tak pun 8. tue individual presentation tau. masa 1st sem, siap nangis bagai okeyh sebab kena hentam kaw2 ngan lecturer. nangis tuh depan diorg.

tapi, pengalaman tue telah mendewasakan. cea, ayat tak leh blah… so, bila dah sem 5-6, dah reti nak handle audience. tapi audience tuh cam beberapa org jer. selalunya lecturers jer dlm 5-6 orang.

yg penting jangan menggelabah. make a note of ur main points. sebabnya, kita tak kan hafal kesemua patah perkataan kan? just job down ur main point. jangan terlalu banyak ‘aaa…aaa..aaaa’. nanti org leh perasan. hehehe… wish u good luck!!! :peace: ~

The most scary thing if I am in front is when I’m losing my words, I will like ‘aa..ape’ and my classmates will laugh at me. So, I need to focus in each point that I’m talking about. Kalau tak, habis la terkeluar bahasa ibunda. Ha ha ha.

Salam singgah.

yup. the usual thing that happen is ‘aa…aaa..’ and sometimes using wrong words to define something.

-focus in each point i’m talking about.
-avoid losing important words

i got those points.

thanks aTiQah

praktikkan byk becakap dgn org. but bukan cakap kosong. sharing. banyak bende bole share. pasal study. pasal life.

atau bole juga cakap di depan cermin. mase practice tu ckp dgn penuh confident. bila kite cakap dgn penuh keyakinan. bila salah sikit pun org tak akan perasan.

sebelum present tu dapatkan eye contact dgn audience dulu. kalau bole eye contact dgn semua audience. kalu gugup sgt, just tgk kat satu view je. tp nnt org akan perasan. xpe alone. slow2 biasekan diri. practice makes perfect! gud luck!

yup. you are right. saya akan approach mereka yang boleh buatkan language saya improve :idea:

cakap di depan cermin.. huhu.. betul juga.. baru boleh nampak macam mana diri sendiri bagi presentation. and be confident. dan audience tak akan perasan sangat kesalahan kita

lecturer saya cakap tengok muka @ janggut mana2 audience, kawan saya cakap tengok kepala audience. uh, macam2. tapi betul. eye contact memang penting. mesti audience perasan kalau kita lihat satu view.

yup. saya akan banyak buat practice.

thanks ain!
