Monday, 17th January 2011...

CRA presentation today. Need to dress formally. Did not brought any clothes to change.

Took the first shuttle bus that left at 8.02am. Wenbin had already reached school when the bus just left. Reached school at 8.25am. Rehearsed with Wenbin.

Fiona reached later and the 3 of us rehearsed. Candice was the last to reached and she prepared her presentation so we did not have the chance to rehearse as a group.

Presentation started at 10.10am, as requested by us. It kicked off with Allen's group presenting question 1, then our group with question 2 and so on. There was a mini break after the 3rd group presented. The Q&A after each presentation was quite scary. Our group did not hesitate and stop when questions was thrown to us, which was a good thing.

After all the groups had presented, it was around 12.20pm. Feedback time. Allen's group first.

Our group next. Feedback was given in accordance to presentation. First Candice, then Fiona, then Wenbin then me. Mr Koh was a very observant marker as his feedback ranged from presentation style to dressing. Yup, he said it is advisable not to wear dark colours but since the whole group chose dark, there was group effort. He also commented on Wenbin's belt.

My feedback was ok. He said I was monotonous but I did not pause. He said I should pause more often. However, it showed that I know what information I was going to present as I did not stop too much.

Went to meet Allen they all as they were already released. Had lunch. Then 3rd group came to have lunch. 4th group came to Business Park too but left after a while. Guess they are skipping lunch. Finally last group came and by the time they bought their food, it was 12.58pm, 2 minutes to next tutorial.

When we went up, it was 1,10pm, 5 minutes to being mark absent. Luckily, our IF tutor knew that we had CRA presentation so she did not mark anyone as late. When we reached the class, there was only Candice, Fiona and group 4 who indeed skipped lunch.

Group 3 reached and it was 1.17pm. Can heard Chester saying s*** when he saw the time but IF tutor did not mark anyone absent. Last group reached at 1.25pm.

Tutorial ended early even though we started half an hour late. Went home after that.
