The past few days have been quite busy for me. Been busy doing my individual project that dun really have time for anything else. Individual projects have its pros and coms. Group work has its pro and cons... Doing it individually, there will be no clash of interest on suggestions for the project, everything is your own idea... but sometimes can be very tiring. As for group work, if you have good group members, the work is spread out so it does not seem very overwhelming. But sometimes there are group conflicts... So both has its good points.



Anyways for this individual project, it has certainly been rush... i found the information some time ago but sometimes the thing is not how much information you have but how you present it... using transparencies, posters or pamphlets. Anyways i was intending to use transparencies to present some and normal posters for some parts of it... But after seeing the first group of people presenting yesterday i felt that their presentation was much better than mine. So I was pretty discouraged. Tired, stressed and discouraged i would say. Hmmm... maybe Jenny was right, Richards group seems better at presentations than us. And to compare ourselves against them is very stressful. anyways i find wat she says true... haha... After seeing their presentations i found my work plain and boring. I think even Eveline felt the same ba. Cause b4 her presentation she was so nervous saying the rest b4 her were so good. But I think she actually did very well and I am proud of her.



Sometimes when you meet something stressful but you still have to continue its better not to think how you feel and just go on... Dun let your brain deceive you that you can't do it. Cause i believe everyone has their unique ability. Thoughts of how stress you are will hinder your progress and in the end you will never be able to finish anything at all... Thats how I feel and thats something i learnt from this experience. You do not choose to be put in this situation but you can only make the most of it. As long as you dun give up there will be something good out of it.



I dun know why yesterday after I went back from school I decided to re modify my project. No transparency at all... And make it more creative posters which I drew pictures on (though seriously my art is not fantastic). I also decided to do wat i am best at.... making mind map. i tried to make it as simple as possible... it was drawn on a big mahjong paper. Cause everything was done yesterday evening I was so tired by the time i finshed it at 1 am this morning. Many times I wanted to give up the suggestion of a mind map (thinking... its too risky) and its also required quite some effort to do one. Risky because not all people can read mind maps. But i can say i tried my best. And i am glad i continued though I was really tired. Cause i think at least i did something different. And ppl can actually say my presentation is very clear and mind map understandable with big words and a clear concept. And I thank God that he gave me strength to carry on with the presentation though I was little nervous. And managed to make it a more interactive presentation. This shows that God really answers prayers... haha!!! cause i told my mom to pray for me cause i was friggin nervous this morning. The most unexpected thing is although I never even go through (except for intro) wat to say I managed to say wat I want to bring across to my audience (though i stuttered at some parts).



Sometimes its very hard to block out stress, like this morning I just could not get back to sleep after waking up to go toilet. And the thing is I only have 3 hours of sleep per night for the past few days. But actually we are not alone. As my friend once said, we may not be working together but we all experience roughly the same problems. It can be a consolation to see people emerge strong from tribulations. I also got alot of encouragement watching the show "Da Chang jin". Chang Jin will never give up. She probably experiences much more stress but she learns from each experience. I hope i can be like that too... let me be a strong woman/lady!!! haha!!!


Anyways I think jenny project was ok, got alot of demonstration... haha!!! And as for Alina wish her all the best... Hope she does not do the "stamping act" again... remember this time is in front of the class... haha!!! And so far, I am the most impressed by Lianna... I am really impressed!!! Great model, great presentation, great pamphlet, great everything!!! haha!!!



And its really ironic. My presentation is on "Stress managemnt" but I was so friggin stressed... Haha!!! I had really bad gastroenteritis... I mean the type that have to go toilet every half hour. This morning my whole GIT was upset. i even vomited my whole breakfast out and i was feeling so weak. Haha!!! I think after this experiece i am better able to take stress... !!! haha!!!



I really dun understand how ppl like Lianna and Fiona can take it by just sleeping 3 or 4 hours a night... I am a definately no-no to that... or else the next day I will be damn moody, lethargic or grouchy... But off course I will still do my work... haha... Anyways Adequate sleep is a must to me!!!



And after such a hectic day how can we exclude some celebration. Me, jenny, eveline and alina went to plaza singapura and ate at pizza hut... haha!!! so happy!!! Had a really great bonding time... My dear friends... will miss them much when i graduate!!! Me and eve went to arcade and play 2 games. I play Daytona with her and I lost... I really suck to the core at that game... I did not even know how to start the engine . I kept on stepping on the brake and accelerator at the same time. (those of you laughing, stop it this moment!!! :( )



And i played one game of "House of the Dead"... HAha!!! No fun playing that game alone. I remember me and Fiona played that game for primary school reunion... Haha!!! play until nearly kill the boss or something!!! That was great fun. Cause that time during our primary school classmates taught us to play that snooker game... Then i think our one game lasted more than one hour. Cause both of us cannot aim into the hole... haha!!! Farnie! Seriously though I am not close to my primary school friends cause i am only with them for a year but I only go for the sake of Fiona... Cause her close friends are not exactly very close to me... And my closer friedns in primary school always never come. But really very grateful that she still willing to be my friend last time although I very little friends ... Haha!!! Doesn't sound so pathetic... cause I was like a "China girl" last time... so very shy... I literally had my childhood in China mah!!! can't blame me...



Hey. Fiona, lets make it a deal to save money to play "House of Dead" during the holidays... haha!!! Then i bring you go beach again and we have picnic... haha!!! But now lets proceed on to study for exams... haha!!!
