a nightmare would be a life without you

NUS Seminar
Sunday, February 27, 2005 2:10 PM

Was shivering in a small auditorium-like lecture hall in NUS during a Environmental Reporters Publicity seminar. Apparantly, it's a new programme set up by a group of NUS university students (what on earth do you call them?) who are or seem to be, very into environmental issues and environmental awareness.

So although we (Miss Tang, Soedar, Clara and a secondary two green club guy whose name I just cannot recall at the moment) were late and missed one speaker speak, we still got the hang of what was being said. It was interesting because all three speakers for the seminar were... Foreign students (at least one of which was from Vietnam and another Hong Kong). It made it increasingly hard to understand, but after awhile the accent is not that bad and the bad grammar seems almost like Singlish anyway... So... It was easier to understand after that.

Basically at that point of time, I was freezing stiff and it doesn't help that I'm actually beginning to feel the adrenaline and the nervousness and everything in between. So my teeth were chattering, I was cold, and I was nervous.

Here's a summary of all the speakers that went up to talk about the green stuff they did in school.

The first secondary student representative speaker of some school was a boring speaker (so boring I can't remember anything he/she said), the second speakers (two cute girls one who spoke like a Singaporean and another who spoke with the overly accurate kids central accent like that Chin-fei girl) were MC like and totally enjoyable to listen to, the third was a debator with passion so fiery she was practically ferocious, then when I thought no speaker could be worse they called Dunman Secondary. So... It was weird. I was blur because we were told we were after Bukit Batok and I was like that debator is not Bukit Batok so we have a lot of time to go and stuff like that running around in my mind. So I went up, passed the disc to the guy in charge of presentation material and thanked him alot and then went up to the table thing were you present lah. And I started. I think I started rather okay because they laughed. Basically I was rather personal and I didn't follow my script too much lah (this always happens...) and enjoyed speaking to them and (I hope) as much as they enjoyed listening to me. I think I was the only presenter who er... Got a bit of giggles here and there. In Soedar's terms, I was the slacker type Ah Lian presenter. Haha. :) I loved presenting. :) I think I'd make a good MC.

Anyway, after the presentation was this IT based presenter guy who used a website to la dee dum dum about his school's green projects. And then it was over and there was a lot of refreshments! :D Chicken wings blah blah blah.

The Secondary Two guy is a very cute guy lah. Haha. And in Clara speak, he was geeky cute. This was countered by Soedar who said that he was actually a nerd so I said nerdy cute lor. Haha. He's a cute guy in terms of the way he speaks lah. Haha. I remember the three of us (Soedar, Clara and me) talking about him and finding him very funny weird. So actually cute isn't the correct term to use.

Anyway, Miss Tang liked my presentation. :) That's happy. :) Heh. And Clara and I might just be given oppotunities to do MCing in the near future for any event. :D This makes me happy because I like MCing and I bet I would do a better job then... Channel 8 Children's TV programme type of:

MC 1:"HI! MY NAME IS *L-ROY!"
MC 2: "And Hello! My name is *One-Thing!"
Both: "And together we are your worst nightmare."

That kind of thing lah.

That's cool lah. Whatever lor.

Hohoho.

Spent the rest of the day with Wei Sheng. :) Happiness.
