Ego.

Finally editing the "Wardah's birthday at USS" vlog right now, after like, full six days.

Oh this is late. Don't like uploading vlogs late because it confuses people when I upload them, but I include the date in my videos I export, so it's no problem there.

Anyway, waiting for it to export and listening to OneRepublic right now.

Post-exam activities have begun, and today we did some sort of public speaking workshop.

It's the usual, really. Body language, and intonation, and tips here and there.

You see, there is a purpose to knowing this stuff. It's not just for the sake of public speaking, but for socialising as well. There's a whole tonne mankind has achieved by being articulate and by being able to express themselves clearly to get messages and emotions through. Words and actions can drive people, and although it's true that words are nothing without actions, they are pretty powerful things.

Ultimately, you don't lose out in knowing how to present yourself right.


Funny how the guy told us to record us presenting in order to provide feedback to ourselves, and then went on to say how most people hate watching themselves on video or hearing their own voices played back to them.

Yeah, I used to be like that, when I first discovered video playback (a long, long time ago). And then after a while, I just sort of got used to hearing the sound of my own voice, and watching myself talk, and now I've become so narcissistic I actually enjoy watching myself on camera.

Yes, I do love the sound of my own voice. There, I said it.


TalentSearch Finals 2011 was interesting, because, well, I don't know what's good anymore. Judgement is strange, I believe. I'm left a confused soul.


Okay, going off now. Field trip tomorrow (somewhat).

Night.


P.S. I'm insecure. Must pull myself together. I am awesome.
