The Mindset of Yesterday VS The Mindset of Tomorrow
As promised last week, I will post up a blogpost about my English presentation on free topics in which I chose, “The Mindset of Yesterday VS The Mindset of Tomorrow”.
The rules are simple:
1. Choose a Comparison & Contrast essay or an Illustrative essay (In this case, a talk)
2. You are given about a month to prepare (Wow! That’s pretty long! That’s great!)
3. You will be judged according to your mouth, ears and eyes (Pandai-pandailah…)
4. You are given 5 minutes to present (… … … … shit)
Yeah, I was like, “What???!!”
The first 3 rules are easy to do, but the last one… I had a lot of doubts.
I finally created about 25 slides for the presentation and it took me about 2 hours to figure out on what to say and what to put on. That was the easy part.
Then came Monday (“D-Day” as what OverHaulin would put it)
Went out to eat with Caryn, Lee Ann and big sister ShiLou. Everyone was like, “Urgh… no mood to eat”. I bought some waffles and it sucked ass! I hated that waffle ever since!
I was pretty cool with the presentation except that fact that I have to finish 25 slides in 5 minutes kinda spooked me out and also I was pretty sick that day, having flu and cough but still cool
Caryn, Lee Ann and big sister ShiLou were not very enthusiastic to talk, then the stress spreaded like a virus which infected my brain and caused me to be pretty damn stressed out too.
Returned to college and it began.
I was pretty happy with what I was going to do, but everyone else’s stress got to my head and I was like, “Damn! My brain is filled with crap right now!”
Whatever it was, I went up to the front and started talking, trying to finish 25 slides in 5 minutes. And you know what?
I DID finish the 25 slides in 5 minutes!
Awesome!!
I usually take about 30 minutes to finish a regular presentation, especially in BarCamp, but now it took me only 5 minutes! Cool!
Pic of me, looking at the crowd minutes before the presentation:
My topic and the shadow of me (Okay, that IS me
):
Me talking about Devastator eating dirt:
Me talking about a sleeping Garfield:
Me talking about me owning a brand as big as those next time:
Me asking the audience a question: Which one are You?
Me thanking the crowd and myself
:
Of course there were a bunch more stuffs that I said within 5 minutes. But the pictures just kept adding up, so practically, I can’t upload all of them here
