Anxious, nervous, uneasy was the feeling I had all day long! Our group was having UCCD presentation in Singapore Polytechnic and we were doing on Vietnam. Time seemed to seep through the days in just a flash. Guess wad, we even had to skip QA lecture to prepare for our presentation but only 3 of the members appeared. Hmm!sadly, we were very disorganized and did last minute work for the presentation too. I can't even believe that even on that day, we were still editing our ppt slides!OH GOSH!
Anyway, I arrived at 9am ALONE...but surprisingly I saw those who had forgotten that today we didn't had MR class muhahaha!so they accompanied me Anyway, we arrived only 2mins later than other group and goodness knows!!! They wanted to present first and obviously UCCD tutor said yes without even approving us (our whole group). Well, I was like kinda of OKIE...it doesn't matter, let them present first. WHAT MOST ASTONISHED EACH & EVERYONE OF US!they took more than 45 mins to present which is more than wad is expected!though the tutor told them that they had overshoot!Undeniably they did an excellent presentation which aroused interest from each of us..and then the question and answer from each of us took another 15 mins coz each of us had to go give a question to earn a participation mark..hmm.. I was really wondering is this the way to improve or make the lessons more interesting??? Or is she another tutor who goes by rule by rule...She will go the extra mile of calling out your names if u didn't ask a question!
After wad seemed like ages..I even made some noises to hint them ( guys, we don't have much time left aargghhh..)..Finally was our turn!guess wad, my laptop's battery was running low!sigh sigh and had to restart the whole program again which took a few minutes! To make things worse, my member pressed the restart button oh DEAR..the comp had to restart again!the teacher was absolutely furious...she just said "CALL ME WHEN U ARE READY" and just stormed out of the class. WAD is happening?? Everyone didn't even have the time to realize wad is going on..Oh No! we are in deep deep hot soup!then the previous group members and our members went to look for her.. search the ladies toilet..and my group members and I even ran to her office but to our dismay. Then we headed back to our class, a lot of commotion was going into the class. The teacher came back at 4 40 and she even demanded us to finish our presentation by 5. WAD? We barely have 20 mins to present 70 SLIDES!This is just too unfair and we even had to apologized to her. YES! I knew it was our fault, for not having a back up. I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!! But wad about THE PREVIOUS GROUP, does she shows favouritism? I think YES YES!
Now, my blood was boiling and my voice was getting louder and louder. I dislike HER! AND one of the previous members kept signaling me to hurry up! Who he think he was? I'm absolutely aware that my other members had to present too. I spoke as fast as the speed of MRT. Misfortune never comes alone. OF coz, we were boarded with questions that utterly left us DUMBFOUNDED!! This was WORST EVER PRESENTATION I HAVE DONE IN MY THREE YEARS IN SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC, no more last min projects in future!!
