Preparing the slides are not easy since.. I have no experience in giving talk to a big crowd. My audience are new students for this semester. This is my first time. I would like to thank En Abdul Rahim, OUM JB Director for giving me this opportunity. With the help of Eja, Aza, Su and Hafiz..my officemates... finally I had 22 slides. Thanks for your support.
The challenge begin and I feel like a bit nervous. Although I can give talk...but who knows something might happen tomorrow (Saturday 15 May 2010). Why I always think negative.. I don't know...
So, as you can see. My slot is from 9.40am-10.10am... Hmm... half an hour... thinking on how.. how I'm going to make full use of my slot. How if I finish earlier? How if nobody want to ask me question? How if I don't know how to answer? How if my talk make them bored? How to add fun in between? How suddenly I blank? Lots of why.. in my head..
I'm sharing with you too... Most of the presentation mainly about...
