Changi NEWater plant opened

Hoho, I am so happy that I did GREAT for my IS presentation. Improved lap and bound. Speech loud and clear with correct pacing, good posture and hand gesture. Constantly sweeping eye contact with the audiences. Even teacher complimented that I did excellent in handling the Q&A. I was so proud of myself.

Maybe because of the good audiences that were so encouraging. I going to return their favor next week by paying attention to them. Acknowledging etc... Or maybe someone in my group that boosted my morale ;P

I want to join Toast master. But always the meeting falls on dates that I am busy. I skipped all 3 meeting till date. Next coming meeting is this Friday where I am having a whole BE division off day. FUck loh.


I am selected for potential OIAP list. Meaning if I go take the form and sign it. I will be flying oversea for a long time. I really wanted to go away this fuck place for a break. But we need to pay for own expenses and air ticket. Kinda "cho" leh. So now discussion with mother. If I not going OIAP then I will not go IAP either. I will then op for IHP cos I don't want to serve additional 6 month with sembcorp loh. Very dry de leh.

Arron is going to kill me if he knew that I posted up his self reflection. But it really amazing that he wrote so honestly direct at the question asked. And in case you missed his "material" today, he describe all alien looking like a "Virgina with teeths".. He literally say it in front of teacher. OMG!!!

How has this module broadened your perspective?

Not much, to be honest.

What are the topics that you have found to be particularly useful?

The topics discussed in the module are not particularly useful but the opportunity to do presentations is fun and helpful in making me a better speaker in front of crowds.

What are the topics you found difficult to grasp? Why?

The topics are easy to understand to anyone with a functioning brain and a basic understanding of English, there wasn’t much in the way of revolutionary in the content of the module but it’s a good reminder on how to act in company, anybody with parents that actually did some parenting would have been taught that.

Although I suppose I find it hard to see why I should only be hoping for a pass when I can probably outspeak ( Is there such a term?) anybody in the class. I mean the module is Speaking with impact.

What are the areas that you have learnt well?

I have learnt to be calmer when talking in front of crowds, although I think that it has more to do about experience than any actual learning.

What are the skills that you think you still need further practice and improvement?

I need to work on improvisation, delivery and better material.

In what ways can you apply what you have learnt to your future career?

I haven’t really learnt much, but not being so nervous in speaking to an audience would help in whatever I choose to do, unless of course I become a mime.

Is there any way that you could have performed better during the term?

Yes, and as a bonus I will tell you why too. My material could be better and in case you are not familiar with the term, material basically means content, or jokes in this case.
