Valentines Aftermath

What did you do for you Valentines?

Well, tis Valentines have certainly been a lil bit different for me. I actually fell asleep at 8 p.m and woke up around 4a.m the next day. Total madness, you say?

Unfortunately, the reason my routine had to take a drastic change was because I had a Law & Morality presentation on the 15th. On that morning, I was weary but I feel enthusiastic and confident. Not the brash, loud mouthing type of confidence, but, the silent type where u knew u had ntg else to prove.

I was undeterred with anything fate had to throw at me. I was prepared no matter what.

I WAS WRONG!!!!!

The worst juz had to happen to me!!! When I was all pumped up to begin my presentation, all of a sudden, the projector decided to mock me by killing itself all together. I and Weng Tchung tried for about 1/2 hr to revive the ailing beast but to no avail. Even Evelyn tried to lend a helping hand.

Only after 1/2 hr + did the machine work. The lecturer was already fed-up although she tried her best NOT to show it. My classmates displayed a similar expression on their restless faces. As a matter of fact, the default had already taken 1/2hr of my time and I only had 45 minutes allocation for the presentation.

I was definitely a nervous wreck. I begged and literally pleaded to be given another day to redeem myself. It wasn't my fault that the machine broke down, was it?

But, I was urged to go on with my presentation. As I spoke (or rather, CROAKED), I could feel the eyes around me practically telling me....

" Yo dude, ur a nice guy and all. But, it's nearly 5p.m and we all juz wanna go home and beat the jam. So speed things up man!"

I eventually did finish my presentation before 5p.m. Which meant my presentation was weak! The lecturer confirmed my predictions and promptly gave her thumbs down. Sigh.....

But, more sadly so, I had a baby picture that I had pasted on my presentation. I told the class that it was a picture of my friend's (Ah Wai) baby who had died on the eve/1st day of CNY. Alas, after going home, I remembered that I had removed his daughter's picture as a sign of respect and replaced it with another. As a result, I humbly offer my apologies for this grave error.

To Ah Wai, my sadness on the failure of my presentation cannot possibly compare to the loss of your first born. My only regret is that I did not do any justice to your daughter by such a week display on a subject I'm sure you would have taken an interest upon, ABORTIONS.

Anyway, I was always taught to show gratitude and appreciation no matter the situation. Thus, I guess I'm gratefull that I did not faint during the presentation and that I did not have a gun with me for I would have probably have massacred all those around me.

On a more sane side, I'm thankfull to have friends like Jamie, Az, n Vanessa who tried to console me when I was truly blue. Thanks guys!

Btw, how was your Valentines?
