I totally blew a presentation today

so sad...

lesson learnt: Always have a good night's sleep the night before a Major presentation.

What happened to me was... well... the night before the presentation, I missed my sleep to prepare for the slides that I was going to use. I reached home quite late that night and I was really tired... so I actually went to catch a wink, setting my alarm to ring 2 hours later to wake me up to do my work. Yup, everything's fine until this point and I was quite fresh while I was doing the powerpoint slides. The tricky part was, that there were much research needed to do the slides, which I refered to books and to the Internet. When I finally decided I was done, it was already 730 am!

Being totally exhausted now, my head hit the pillow once again, only to wake up another 1 hour later to prepare for work.

Another mistake which I made was to skip lunch. >.< Actually it was not intentionally, I wasn't like dieting or anything, just that I was so occupied with work that I didn't have time to go eat *honest* =)

By the time of the presentation, I was already dying. My mind was totally blank throughout the presentation, and I am literally grabbing at words I can use to convey my thoughts.

While I was trying my best at explaining how the website works and why it is best to work this way, in my mind, I was really thinking about FOOD!!!

The situation did not help when my boss sat BESIDE me during the presentation, as I do know how much he wants to clinch the project, VS how unprepared I was. Believe me, there are times when I was going round and round and round and round 1 miserable point and I didn't know how to sum it up. At those instances, I really feel like hiding under the table!!! If I was sitting in among the attendees listening to my own presentation, I would definitely think:"This guy is a RETARD~!"

Seriously I DO NOT want to go through that again.

Hihi All.... (i've been away for a long time)

Yup, for those friends who had been asking why I haven't been blogging, and telling me to update my blog. =) I'm back. Well... I must admit I am quite lazy about typing in stuff... (even for myself actually) cos now my job entails doing up proposals, quotations, invoices... etc etc which made me so tired of hitting keys on the keyboard. (Though I still spend a good deal of time chatting on Maplestory) haha.. anyway...

Just to give more information about the job I am working in now: I am a Sales Executive in a Design House. My company has some good portfolios and it sometimes help me in getting jobs for the company. I do not have to worry about leads because I have plenty supplied by the company from its marketing efforts. And yes, I am doing not bad I'll say.

After I ORDed, I slacked for 4 months. A GOOD FOUR MONTHS!!!.... Doing nothing but sleep an playing game. But hey, it was surprising I did not grow fat at all... In fact, my GF has been complaining that I have, on the other hand, grew thinner.... (is she some sort of witch waiting to eat me up or something?) I have no idea....

And then finally one day, my friend, ChuanWei asked me if I am working, and I replied :"No". After which he asked me to interview at HIS company.... and yup.. that's how I landed the job here.

its a cool place, everyone's nice, we have fun working, we have fun when we are off work, this place is heaven.... the only downside that sometimes heaven gets busy too.... >.< Which prohibited me from writing this entry sooner.

Ok people, I will be signing off here, cos I have some other stuff i need to do. Hope to add more entries soon.

Regards
