748. many thanks

Rant of the day: Tired... I wanna rest...

First and foremost, I would like to thank the entire Green Bean Enterprise team. Thank you Royston, Benjamin Chia, Benjamin James, Sharon, Siew Hoon, Dinah and Jo. The presentation success was the result of your commitment in this whole project. It's finally over and done. The information covered were really substantial enough to tide us through the whole 25min.

Whatever disagreement that happened along the way were just part and parcel of the process. Without all these arguments and disagreements, our brain will not think and this whole business idea would had been submerged in our sub-consciousness.

I'll also wish to sincerely apologise for any of my tardiness to anybody during our project discussions (but I don't think I had unknowingly hurt anyone right?).

Anyway, you guys rocks!

Back on today's presentation, all went really well. Except that I was really unprepared and nervous to take over most of the presentation due to some unforeseen circumstance. But all ended well. At least we wasn't shot down by any questions, or rather, there wasn't any questions to start with.

Some lessons learnt from yesterday's and today's presentation.

1) Don't be arrogant if you cannot afford to be.
Basically, if your project sucks big time, keep your mouth shut. Don't go on shooting questions at other teams. It only made you look stupid when it's your turn to present.

2) Get your facts complete.
If your facts ain't complete, you look like a complete loser when saying your "facts". This class is made up of working adults. We ain't those secondary school kids who had no idea what is happening in our offices and surroundings.

3) Inter-group collaboration
As many groups might not meet the time given, it will be good if some pre-presentation discussions within groups to be established. Make full use of the QnA time to "complete" the presentation. It's the final chance to save your friends.

4) Time check
25min ain't long for a presentation but it ain't short either. If the project is targeted have lotsa information, then it is time to do a material check on what to say and what to skip. Say the important portion. Time check... Time check...

5) Inject life
If I got bored by just sitting though 1 presentation, imagine what the lecturer is feeling after sitting through 4 - 5 presentations. It's gonna be complete boredom with extra suicidal inclination. Please put in some life to the speech. We all know presentations are usually boring but why follow the majority? It's time to be different.

That sort of sums up the basic learning points. Haha... What's next? It's exam time!!! Time to start mugging... Ok, I prolly wouldn't mug like most lar...
