By great 'fortune', my paper was selected to be PRESENTED in this year's Modo Symposium at Equatorial Hotel. And we were also put up for POSTER session. Oops. No dropping by just for lunch this year!
Early morning already had to meet up with the guys and prepare for the Poster session. There are four of us in the paper, so we split the task among ourselves: Fren2 and Raymond manned the poster booth for the morning session, Yasz and I go on stage for oral presentation in the afternoon.
Breakfast time...
With the boss
Inside the main hall. Yawn. Now see a lot of people. After lunch more than half disappears!
The poster hall
Main2 before the crowd comes. Too bad our poster when printed out seemed so different than the PowerPoint version.
So we stand there for 2 hours++ entertaining people and explaining our paper. Mostly entertaining friends la :P WM and LK's booth were just beside and there were so many other friends that day... Hahaha...
Lunch. Gosh, lets forget about lunch. The food, especially the fried rice redefines BAD. Furthermore, feeling the butterflies in the stomach, nervous for the presentation after this. Erk.
Mine was the 3rd presentation after lunch. Man, just before my turn, the butterflies in the stomach spinning like mad. Damn, now I know how Cow, Shawn, LK and the rest felt when they had to present! When I walked up the podium, took the mic, face the audience, I froze. Blank. Shit. :-S But thankfully as I started talking, slowly, the hours of rehearsal began to calm the mind and on we go with the show!
Heheh...
Blablabla
Duno they understand or not...:-S
Amazingly it actually became fun after awhile! And then I handed over to Yasz for the 2nd part...
She was also enjoying the moment!
The Q&A session. Can afford to smile dy :D
