A Wednesday of...

We finally came into Top 5 but not Top 3 of the campus final. Of course we are a bit dispirited, but at least we've got rid of a big burden. Exams are coming close by the way, and I've got quite a bad schedule.

Our presentation was not persuasive enough. Here are some thoughts I can offer:
1) don't just rehearse to your team mates, but also to your friends so they could NOT ONLY give feedback, but also perhaps be judges and ask you questions on the spot.
2) when you are not creating a presentation from scratch but drafting from an existing one, make sure you don't copy too much. Doing such references could sometimes be more harmful than good.
3) for girls, wear high heels! You will feel the difference.
4) people in Aussie think my tie/shirt combo is good but Malaysians don't.

After our 15-minute presentation followed by the 15-minute bombardment of questions, we went to the city for dinner by tram. My team mate stepped on another girl's foot with her heel and got that girl bleeding. On the other hand, I sat down and immediately stood up when I thought some older guy wanted to sit. But he didn't. An odd-looking haggard woman who was sitting there looked at me sourly and said "sit there, nobody's sitting there". I felt so bad. She probably thought I stood up because I realized I was sitting next to some weirdo. But that's not what I meant. I sat down and the place smelled like piss. We went back for the awards presentation and when I was going back, I happened to hop onto the same tram with the same pee smell. What the fuck man...
