It all ends here!

But the next chapter will unfold really quickly, well, that's my own instinct.

Attachment is coming to an end soon, tomorrow. Today is Racial Harmony Day Celebration and I wore a sari! I have bought the sari close to 4 years but I have not yet touch it since I bought it from India. It was tiring to wear a long sari with shoes that hurts my feet. But anyway, feel kind of cheated when more than 80% of the people didn't wear! And I feel quite weird in it. I met an Indian teacher in the toilet after my breakfast today, and she helped me re-wrap the sari with many nice pleats. Her pleats were really nice! However, I really feel a restriction in my movement because I was running around the block all the time.

We helped out at the celebration for an hour. It was like a carnival/ booths everywhere, activities for students to try out. Allowing them to be more aware of cross-ethnic cultures. I walked around the whole hall observing the activities. It seems quite fun. But my legs were really aching. =P

Another bigger thing that happened today was the presentation. We have been busy with lessons observations that we chiong last minute for the project. The printer was down at the Resource room so we need to find alternatives to get our stuff printed. The printing took up alot of time, that I don't really have much time to go through my slides, not to say writing cue cards and rehearse. So I wasn't prepare to articulate what I want to share with the SMCs. Therefore, as I kind of expected it, I fumbled with my slides nearing to the last bit of the presentation. And all the way, I thought I was very blur in trying to deliver what I was saying. I wonder how the SMCs really like the idea of having GKW when I present it too lousily. Hai.. guess I need to brush up on my presentation skills and crapping skills too =P I feel really lousy after that when my the other groupmates did soo well. However, the SMCs say that overall it was very impressive piece of work. And also some teachers were saying it's okay it's okay... But why is it that I get butterflies still when I speak infront of people, for the first time I seen them. As a teacher, a certain level of confidence should be already built up. I guess I have a steep learning curve then. I guess I need to reflect more, fumbling on slides is the last thing that I could ever think of. I'm the kind of person who will need to rehearse and have script in front of me before I can really do a good job. But normal talking conversations or sharing sessions are fine with me, even teaching. Why is it that presentations always put me down, and I often put them down too? I would love to have dialogue sessions, it's fun, just like how the Taiwan host show is doing. ARGHHH!!!!

Thank goodness tomorrow is the last day. Then after that I don't have to be reminded of this "little bad experience" anymore. However, I must say I had a good time here, despite of the "very free week 1" and for certain point in time, nothing to do. I enjoy going for lessons and doing co-teach.

And also watching the last part of harry potter! Just looking forward to it, I don't have any expectations of it. I just want to enjoy, but I guess I will fall asleep.
