Christmas Eve 2011

Exactly two weeks I didn't write anything on my blog. So many things happened during this two weeks. On the first week, I need prepare for my first final year project presentation. I'm not the person who likes to do presentation or give a speech. I'm lack of confidence. But I have no choice. The marks for my presentation is 30/100. The marks can change the grade for my project. Luckily, there is not test on the first week. During the presentation, there were two examiners to see the students' presentation. One was my project's supervisor and the another was a appointed lecturer which is under the same environment department. I think I have a 'Good' luck on my presentation day. I got the first place to present my project. I have a little phobia to be a first person to present anything. Thanks to my first experience when I went for a job interview after my A-Levels. It was a group interview session and I was the first person to be interviewed. I was so scared until I had a problem with my pronunciation. After training in my university's years, I think I'm getting a little bit better. During my project's presentation, everyone were looked serious and listened what I said. After my presentation, the examiner fired with three questions to me with his M-16. Actually, I do not understand what he asked due to his thick ascent of English language and I said "Pardon me" for few times. Luckily, my supervisor helped me to revise his questions and told me what his questions all about. really thanks to him. I felt dissatisfied with my presentation because I think didn't present it well and couldn't answer a question from the examiner. The examiner suggested few points to me and I need to take of it. After my presentation, I have to wait for 8 others to present their projects. It last for 2 hours. I learnt something for the other presenters how they present. My project works need to postponed due to test week and final exam. I will resume the works back right after my final exam. I hope I can finish it on time. Next day was my last registration timetable before I graduate. I noticed that some of my coursemates couldn't register their timetable because they updated the subjects on the wrong semesters. I think they need to pay the fines if they want to register during the Add & Drop session on next semester. This week is not a good week for me. I had to face 'Triple Kills' : 2 Tests & 1 Group Presentation. Last Tuesday night, I received an email. I thought I received a notification about my test information but I was wrong. It was about something lost in the laboratory during a software class and if the culprit didn't return it back in two days, the whole section will face the consequences which is to get nil for the marks of the subject. I was so shocked with it. I didn't attend for the class and I was wondering why I was being included. Almost everyone were angry about this matter. It was a big blow before we face our 'Triple Kills'. On Wednesday morning, I had a group presentation first. All of my group members wore the same shirt.

The shirt~

I was happy that my wish to see all of the group members to wear the same shirt in front of the lecturer. The lecturer was so happy to see us with the shirt and joked that we had realized that the 'Soil Man is Simple Man'. Hahaha.. Although the shirt is quite expensive but I think it is worth to wear it. During the group presentation, only two out of five member will present and again, I was the 'Lucky' to be the first person to present it back. Oh man.. I need to present the geotechnical subjects group project for 2 consecutive semesters. Luckily, the lecturer didn't ask so much about our project. I think thanks to the shirt, we survived. After the presentation, I don't have the mood to do my revision before the night test. Same goes to another test on the next day. I do not know I can get a better GPA on this semester or not. I felt so tired. There is no Christmas & New Year celebration for me. Only laptop, notes & text books will accompany me for the whole weeks. I hope during these weeks, I have a good 'Silent Night' for my revision. No music out loud by the neighbours from my hostel. Same goes to the library users, I hope they can keep their tongue behind their teeth and let the library in an ordinary way.

The War has just Begun!




Sleep in Heavenly Peace~~








P/S: The culprit just surrendered the thing. Thanks God!
