The teaching me ...

Teaching/lecturing or talking in front of a large crowd have always made me weak in my knees. I finally have overcome this, well at least that's wat I think. For the past few weeks I've been doing product demos for quite number of department in the company. N I've got to say I survived all of this sessions without any major incident. My very first session few weeks back was abit weird. But now it's so much better. I feel much more comfortable being the only dude in a group of people who'll b doing the talking while the rest of them listens to whatever I have to say. It's actually not that bad, standing in front a group of people and presenting something to them. Today’s session I had to present to this group of makciks n pakciks. Every now n then I had to talk in Malay just in case they didn't know wat the hell I was blabbering about. Come to think of it, my malay language is not all that bad, it's a bit rusty but I managed to get through the session with minimum number of pause, trying to figure out the words to be used. For next 2 days I have few other group of people to do the presentation for.

The only bad thing about this presenting business is, after each session there sure to be some food served for the participants. I think all this eating is gonna finally take it's
toll on me. Well thank god that my appetite does not allow me to gobble up a lot of food at one go. But even so, I can feel that my tummy is slowly growing.
