It's our Research & Development presentation today! MUET group was the first team and my group was the third to present. I saw watermelon in the canteen, he didn't wish my luck today, yesterday one not counted Hehe. I'm the secretary of the Club R&D and I was busy, no, when I wanted to engage myself into document works, Puan Mary, my R&D supervisor stopped me, she wasn't happy seeing me doing my stuff because I should have stood in front and get ready with other groups. Well, there I go, left my works aside by asking other committee to help me.
I stood in front of the ready-to-be-seated crowds. WOW I felt great. I wasn't entirely nervous, I didn't feel nervous at all until the first group started... All the Upper Sixes had settled down themselves and the mike amplified her voice so loudly that I started to worry. It's weird listening to my amplified voice since I can hear my voice clearly without a mike... I was imagining that time. I already knew the content of their presentation so I didn't pay much attention to their talks; instead, I was figuring out how to present myself to people and trying to think their ways of presenting their slides. Rhen Jeat's hand was shaking, he showed to me. He looked too calm, still.
Our panel of judges were PRO-English Puan Cheah, Super strict Puan Laurette and fussy Puan Jolyena. Biology teacher wasn't there!! I meant she wasn't our panel of judge because before that we were told that she's one of our judges and thanked God finally they substituted her with Puan Laurette (I dunno why)@@" I know it's good and it's such an honour to have her but... she always asks tricky questions and to be honest, I'm really not good at answering questions, I either get it out of points or don't know their questions. Seriously. I turned blind eyes at it especially when you asked me questions directly in front of 70+ people.
Talk about my lips now!!! My lips was absolutely and COMPLETELY DEHYDRATED! I dunno why it suddenly occurred to be like this! I was so... a bit helpless, for a moment I really thought of pausing a while so that I can drink water but, I can't, time was running, we were told to finish everything in 10 minutes times, it's no way to stop for a while otherwise I would have gotten my group and myself into trouble! My lips was very VERY dry and somehow I really felt like to "STOP" because my tongue was dry as desert. That's the best way to describe the dryness, it was so dry and dry. I should have put on my lips balm! For many times, I paused for a few seconds so that my audience can absorb what I was talking, at the same time, I can have my time to lick my lips and moisturising it. It's scientifically proven that when your lips is dry you can't lick you lips, but... I have no choice. All eyes ON me.
Many thanks to my partner Jac Lyn, she rocked Q&A session! She's so entertaining and her answers did make sense. I'm that kind, who don't entertain people but like to be entertained. Luckily the Upper Sixes gave me response when I asked them questions! Thanks to Ivan Toh who “pakat" with me in answering my first question :) And many thanks to Wai Chee who likes to voice out his opinions in the public, he helped us to lengthened the time as well. Many thanks to YHY and other friends too! And, most importantly, Puan Mary! Our mother-like supervisor! She always made sure everything was going to be perfect! She didn't want to have any SPELLING mistakes when our names and tittles were written on the white board. She always double check for us and even asked to put on a tie, threw a lot of questions to us so that we can find out the answers and answer the panel of judges. She shared some tips as well. When we were presenting, she was sitting behind and paying attention to us. She showed me some gestures when my voice was soft, etc. She's quite strict before that because she kept correcting and limiting us this and that; but she's motherly :) Wow! Such a day!!
I can focus on my studies now! No more burden :)
Good luck to the coming groups! Just learn to enjoy it :)
