The great experience (:

Let's think. What should I write. Well, just a lil info for you, I'm posting this in my best friend's house. We sort of came here for a gathering. Old buddies gathering.
Anyways, just 5 days ago, I attended a public speaking workshop. Yup, public speaking alright. It was fun, I've gotta admit. And I enjoyed myself. The public speaker who thought us was Mrs Jagjeet Singh, or also known as Mrs J. She's wise for a 60 something. But none of us believe she looked like a 60 something. She looks WAY younger! Oh yeah, she even appeared in BLOOMBERG! Talk about famous. You should go check out her CV(biography). She's the trainer and team manager for our Malaysian Debate team. AND, she's a world debate judge. Yeah, I know, talk about totally cool!

What ya' learn there, you ask.

Well, we learned a LOT of things. How to overcome fear, how to have the right posture, stance while speaking. How to present well-organized and structured speeches and conveying them. It was interesting, the way she taught us. We had many activities going on, I honestly, had a wonderful time. Did i mention I actually stood in front of everyone and just said an impromptu speech? Well, not to say I'm boasting or anything, but, It's my first time. I tried my best. And really had fun (:

Mrs J even introduced me to Randy Pausch, you know the famous writer of 'The Last Lecture', and 'The Prince' by Machiavelli. They are the nicest books of all time. You've gotta go check it out. (:

The public speaking workshop is better than benificial, why? Cuz' not only we get to learn the techniques of public speaking, we even get to expand some knowledge. Wow, talk about killing two bird's with one stone. Ha! To those schoolmates that missed the workshop out, well, there's always a next time right? So, make sure you grab the chance when it comes! Or you'll regret!

A happy day at first.

The last day of school before a week of holiday~ Yes, yes. It's suppose to be a happy day, but, tears filled part of my day. Perhaps, it is true that the world isn't a happy place where evrything happy happens~ Pain fills happy moments, at times. So, don't be TOO happy sometimes.

It was a fine morning, went to school as usual. Had a Merdeka celebration thingy at school. All went well. Then came physical exercise class. Well, sports. How could teens nowadays resists not playing sports. So, like every other student, I changed into my sports attire and got ready for P.E class. The weather was sunny, good day to play sports, I thought. Me and my partner started passing the ball. Then, I felt a slight pain in the chest. Don't get me wrong, I didn't have a heart attack! xD Just the ball hit hard on the chest. Weird part is, it was more pain than usual. Nothing wrong, Vic, nothing wrong. Carry on playing, I thought to myself. But, the pain was unbearable after some time. Breathe, Vic! Breathe!

Air! The only word that came on my head was 'air'! Tears streamed down my cheeks. It hurts. Breathe. Breathe. My friends were in a state of shock. I was too. What happened to me?

I was brought to the gymnasium room to rest. Thank goodness the teacher gave me some deep heat medicine too rub on my chest. Breathe in breathe out. Then, I felt better. My friends were all indeed helpful. Really, really helpful. They helped with my stuff and really cared for me. So, I guess you can say that friends are there in times of trouble~ I have no idea how I could ever survive without them.

I NEVER blame anyone for the cause of this. Perhaps it was me who lacked concentration when playing sports. Anyhow, it has over. I feel better now. Just pray that it doesn't cause any side-effects. God, I leave it all to you. (:

Hectic week? Close.

WHOO~ It's the first day of my monthly exam. I know, i know what you're thinkin, "why arent you studying?"
Well, I've gotta be honest, i miss blogging. And staring at my laptop makes me so tempted to write a post. So, you might be wondering, how's today's exam.

Hmmm.. It was all right. Glad it's over. Haha. xD Looking forward for tomorrow's. Not exactly, really. I would say this week is gonna be a hectic week. But one thing for sure, I'll definitely go shopping this weekend. Victoria, a shopaholic? You might be thinking. Well, I'm not exactly THAT in love with shopping. Just that, my cousin sister's wedding is coming soon. And I've got to get a suitable dress. (: Just thinking bout the dress makes me so excited. LoL.

But anyhow, I still have to go through the exam. Duh! You don't expect time to "jump" ehh. But, I'm sure in a snap of a finger, it'll be over. Or rather i hope so. So, wish me luck. I know I'll do my best! Don't worry ;)
