Sway day

Today's indeed ma unlucki dae. woke up at 3am plus then cant get maself to fall asleep. woke up at 0545.

presentation on banyan tree din go smoothly. kena stuck during Q&A... forgot wat i wanted to say. paused for abt 10 seconds, n i remember saying: "oh shit!" in front of de examiner. Never mind tis... video recording was in progress. Made mi all de more stressful.

Few factors contributing to ma consequences tat i muz learn:-
1) never rehearse too mani times - it'll make mi go on auto-pilot mode, become more of memorised script. so when i get nervous, i can't be flexible enuf to tink of wat i'm going to sae.
2) don't drink too much coffee before presentation - it makes u more nervous cos of caffeine.
3) wear blazer, even though others may not wear - todae i did not wear. so ma mood oso become veri slack. tone oso different. veri dead.

On overall, i juz fuck everithing up.

Come to jap listening test oso de same.

Tot de speaker on de radio was giving examples on how to answer de question. who noes de it had already started! So in de end i tink i juz play with luck. 50-50.

Plus todae bag was super heavy. Laptop, notes, water bottle, umbrella, wallet (although not much money but go lots of coupons, namecards n receipts). Luckili i din bring along ma charger. if not ma height will shrink by another inch.

met up wif kc n ylla at orchard. had dinner at quiznos in orchard central. nicer than subway, but of cos more expensive. slack at starbucks till 2300 before returning home.

finalli all presentations are over. but now, exam stress is impending. i shld take it easi... dearie said: 慢慢来比较快。But i still dun see how can "taking slowly" be "faster" at de same time. lol...
