This year has not been easy for them. Hope next year would be better!

Day 19
"You've got to look less worried than you actually are."- These were the wise words from the SAF guy from the Success with Presentation course I've been attending for the past 3 days.
The course is actually quite hands-on. We had to do 2 presentations in the short span of 3 days and were critiqued by the trainer as well as the other fellow participants. The final one was captured on video, which is rather interesting because it's the first time I ever seen and heard the way I look and sound when I present.
When I watched my presentation, I realised that there were a lot of fillers! The "erms" "erm ya"... kept creeping in. :( Gotta work on that, and also not to look so scared esp. when changing slides. The fillers were not present during my first presentation. Looks like I lack consistency.

Day 17
We've this craze in the office lately, which is playing poker after lunch. It must be the cold December weather that is retarding our brains. Nobody really feels like working (or maybe I'm just speaking for myself, well...) Anyway, poker's cool. I thought bridge was cool, cos the econs gals and I always play bridge, even the subject of our emails to each other is 'bridge", but poker is cooler. Well probably because I've been beating everyone hands down lol, out of sheer luck. Just today, we went to ntuc to buy 40 bars of lemon sweets as our chips. It was those tiny lemon flavoured sweets wrapped in gold wrapper that most from our generation would remember. And so we played. And I made everyone bankrupt.
(Could it be because this morning I saw a black cat that was run over and had all its insides spilled out? Nah, I didn't see that yesterday but I made them bankrupt too. The black cat thing was totally crazy. When I told my sis that it's so gross that I felt too sick to work, but my sis only said, is it the same cat that has been roaming our house? So poor thing... ... I wonder who lacks compassion, her or me.)
Christmas is around the corner. I can't smell it cos the air is too cold here in this igloo of an office, but I can read about it from the papers. Have you finished your list yet?
