I just finished my presentation this morning about the concept of "Yin & Yang"(I know your reaction,dun frown yet)..Its actually not that bad since i always have a thing for history..furthermore this is like a going back to your roots kind of thing..so i really enjoy it.
Honestly speaking, i think this is one of my best presentation..Imagine borrowing and carrying heaps of books from the library,going through each of them scanning for information,search on the net,go back to the syllabus if you're missing something and finally completing the slide show.It takes no less than 3 hours for me.Well,sometimes you might come to a dead end and think that what you are writing is not as relevant as you thought...so you go back and edit it one more time,hoping that this time it will be just nice and is in perfect flow.I know perfect is a big word..but if you really work on it,it really does approach the big word.
And so came the presentation and Q & A,I did it in less than 10 minutes.So can you grasp the picture? You spent hours preparing a presentation and completing it in less than 10 minutes.Thats how it is...It shows that in order to build something on good ground and equip it with substance,flow and style,it takes time and efforts no matter how short lived the outcome will be.Very much like a dancer,practicing and perfecting dance moves for years before steping on stage to show her best and receive the well deserved applause.
You just have to decide for yourself whether or not it is worth it.Damn! I wish i was as much of a perfectionist when it comes to chemistry..I'll try hard..Cheers!

Haha!!Miracle!!
One word can describe my day perfectly-GREAT!
1st..it was the very entertaining Gossip Girls series..then my shopping session which was totally fruitful and therapeutic.By then...i was in such good mood that everything just brghten up my day..oh,btw i figure i ll just put the traffic jams and those drivers that get on my nerves away for a while..
Anyway the most most most IMPORTANT thing of the day was..I can do Maths!!OMG...even i cant believe it myself..i literally got through most of the questions myself and actually got it right!Can you imagine that?! And hey mind you..its not some easy piece of crap ok..it was something similar to my form 6 maths.But having never understood it back then..and now being able to solve the questions myself and may i stress...completely by myself(except the really hard ones),it meant so much!!I'm on the verge of jumping up from my chair and say "I finally got it!!".
You have no idea..what its like to listen to your lecturer babble and not getting in a word...how frustrating it is sometimes to not understand how did you get so incompetent in the things you were so good at..
But now i feel differently this time around,like things are getting into the right places,like I finally broke out of the stupidity cloud that surrounds me for far too long.Felt like i just move this one hell of a stopping stone off my path.Never felt this miraculous for a while! Cheers!
