Who am I?

Singapore
My name is Ivan Yow, I am turning 24 this year and currently a Year 3 Life Science Major in the National University of Singapore. As a Ministry of Education Scholarship holder, I will be completing my honours in Year 4 and hopefully juggle with the intriguing graduate studies while serving my bond with the Ministry. Apparently, I love basketball (Despite being vertically challenged) and singing whenever I can in my free time (For now, no free time to start off with as the new semester started recently). Nonetheless, feel free to view my blog, post comments and join me in the journey of enlightenment in communication studies.

Diary entries before presentation


Dear diary,


28/10/09, Wednesday: Today is the first rehearsal for the oral presentation for ES2007S. Everyone came on time and we all gathered in the familiar setting – tutorial room where we usually have our ES2007S lessons. I started first but totally messed up my presentation! I stumbled, went blank and even forgot what I had to say. Darn, I am embarrassing myself in front of my teammates, Xiang Min and Sarah. Looks like I have to buckle up on my understanding of this project.

04/11/09, Wednesday: Once again, we went back to the ES2007S tutorial room. Many people walked past and walked off again after seeing the three of us occupying the whole classroom. This time round, I had improved drastically compared to the previous rehearsal, but my stumbling just kept recurring. Sarah and Xiang Min both had scripts on their hands and they seemed to be presenting way better than me. I really felt bad about it and feared that I would drag the whole team down. Fortunately, they both encouraged me and gave me good pointers, which I can mention during the actual presentation. Love my teammates! (The other teams' presentations were fantastic, made me worried for my own)

05/11/09, Thursday: One day before Judgment Day! Xiang Min could not make it due to his academic dedication, and seemed like there were only Sarah and myself left. We tried to present to each other in her hostel room, but the effect seemed rather crippled. I added more ideas as I presented more and more, till Sarah couldn’t take it anymore and I was left presenting to myself in front of the mirror. Freaky!

Time to go and sleep before a presentation for tomorrow.

Signed off, Ivan
