PGDE Presentation Summary

While Guan is trying to get Prof Vilma for the video for the PGDE presentation, I (i.e.: Wan Ting) shall do a short summary of it here. I was actually very nervous on the day itself because of the following:

1. YY wasn’t feeling well the night before and I worried that that he would be too sick.
2. Guan’s flight was delayed so he may not reach in time.
3. The Jan batch, though I foresee will be smaller than mine, is still big enough to fill up the whole LT and I’ve definitely have not presented to so many people before.

Fortunately, YY was kind enough to appear on the morning itself, while Guan made it in time (in fact, he came much earlier cause the whole presentation was delayed). Since I had to upload the slides before 08 45, most of my time was spent waiting for the two guys and letting people who walked by me wonder why am I wearing a sarong-lookalike to school. I had a much better time than YY and Guan though. The moment YY stepped out of the male toilet in his longyi, a lady who passed by immediately burst out laughing. When Guan thought it was our turn and was preparing to walk down, the people at the back row were raising their eyebrows at him (with the “WTH” look). Still, I’m quite glad we wore longyi and our blue top, since the North India group didn’t, so we looked extra unique.

Guan was the first to speak. He impressed the group with his Myanmar language, and then started scaring Prof by saying that it would take 1hr for us to actually tell them all about our trip. With that, we went on with our presentation and we overrun because we thought it was supposed to be 15mins but they cut it to 10mins. Apparently there is another group of people from the same batch looking at us in another LT and I happily waved to my friend seated at the front row when I spotted her haha..

Prof Vilma looked and sounded pleased with us when she said “Good work” or something like that. She also asked me how I managed to tie my longyi, only to realise I used the strings but hers did not have strings hehe..

That’s all for the presentation that day. As for the event on 15 Jan (Sat), there is a NTU-parents day kind of thing and Service Learning Club (SLC) was hoping that we can send them our slides so that they can play it on the laptop. If we are willing to come down and share, it’ll be even better. They have a similar sort of sharing session on 27 Jan (Wed) as well. =)
