My first time...

today I really had butterfly in my stomach for the minute I opened my eyes...

I am going to present ACRA & Bizfile system to Chinese delagates from Tian Jin. I got the assignment on 5 Aug 05 (6pm) from my No.2 . At first thought that it is the normal presentation so seemly ignored.

But things did not worked as it goes on.... On mon, the organiser told us that there will be no translater and I am expected to do the present in Chinese. I almost fainted. I rem the last time I speak Chinese in front of a group of people was Seconday 3 (Chinese Story telling competition)...

After some struggling in my mind, I decided to give it a shot. The presentation is schedule in Royal Hotel (3pm). My collegue and I left office around 2pm. When I reached the hotel, I asked for the in-charge but he told us there is no such guest. I called the office and after 4 calls then we realised that we went to the wrong hotel. There is Royal Hotel-Orchard, Royal Hotel-Queen and Royal Hotel-Newton.

Sigh, so we arrived late at the venue. I am so angry with myself for not getting the venue right. I had to surpress the "growing" butterfly in my stomach and at the same time set-up my laptop for the presentation. When I looked up the crowd, to my horror there are almost 40 people and none of them understand English. They handed me a list of the people present in the Board Room, after going through the list, I almost pee in my pants [***blush***], all of them are top-notch government officers.

However, thanks to my collegue who is there to help me and also had to thanks to my sec 3 Chinese teacher did not take back all my Chinese. Heehee...

Well, things goes well and I had a good learning session today.

I told the rest via email that I am going for this presentation briefly and ask for blessing. I am a bit sad that I only received Richard's becoz dajie is busying with the "SEX" topic while Steven is busying "defending".... *grin*

I wrote this blog in the office and everyone has left for the day. I am going back now. Good Nite.
