Presentations

Finally, the presentation is over...

start counting from secondary school until now, i can said that, there are quite a number of presentation i have done. but, none of them are good presentation. however, i can also see that there are a few improvement on my presentation. last time, i was very nervous when i am ask to speak in front of so many people. now, i can say that I'm already use to it although u can see that I'm still acting a little bit of nervous when i am speaking in front of a crowd.

however, doing a presentation that is impressive to every one is a very tough task to do. even tough teacher, lectures and professors that lecturing and teaching in front of many student every day, they are also not purposely are good in giving presentation too. when giving a presentation, a contact with the audience can actually make us more relax in front of the crowd. for me, giving a presentation is like we are sharing our knowledge with the others. it is just like e are sharing our feelings, thinking and ideas with our friends.
non-verbal communication is very important when giving a presentation. the body language and eyes contact that we use with the audience are very important. when we are performing on the stage, we can actually just pretend that the audience are not exist. this is because we don't need too much contact with the audience. however, when we are giving speech and presentation in front of so many people, we have to make a contact with the audience and let them paying attention to us. therefore, lectures always said that when giving a presentation or a speech, we should also use up your body language to a make a contact with the audience.

we can see that every time when a person is giving a speech or a presentation in front of the crowd, the audience will not paying attention to the speaker but sleep, yon, chat in a group or whispering with each other. the action of the audience are actually proving that the speaker aren't interesting enough and he is not good enough by bringing the audience back to his attention. besides of non-verbal language, we must also attach to the key point that we are trying to say and avoiding telling 'grandmother' stories.

Based on my observation through every presentation, i really hink that a contat making with the audience is the most imprtant thing. i hope that my presentation skills will keep improving so that i could become a good speaker.

History of Valentine's

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, lovers everywhere celebrate St. Valentine's Day with candy, cards, and flowers. Children bring home bags full of cards. Conversation hearts with "Be Mine" and "2Cute" and other such messages are favorite seasonal snacks all in the name of Saint Valentine. But why do we do this on St. Valentine's Day, and why in February?

Well, February has been associated with romance since the time of the ancient Romans. There are three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, and none of their lives had happy endings.

The most probable candidate for THE St. Valentine was a third-century priest in Rome. Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men because he realized single men made better soldiers. Valentinus felt that this was an unjust law, and he performed secret marriages for young lovers in defiance of Claudius. When this was discovered, Valentinus was put to death.

According to legend, while Valentinus was in prison awaiting his death, he fell in love with a young woman, who may have been the daughter of his jailor. He sent her a letter, which he signed, "From your Valentine," and we still use that expression to this day.

But while some people claim that Valentine's Day is celebrated in February to honor the saint who died on that day, in truth the Romans were having a celebration of love at this time of year long before Valentine met his fate. The holiday was called Lupercalia, and it celebrated what the Romans recognized as the beginning of Spring, on February 15, which is the Ides of February. Like most spring festivals, Lupercalia was a fertility festival. As part of the festival, the single women would put their names in a big urn. The eligible men would draw a name, and be paired with that woman for a year. Often, these year-long pairings ended in marriage.

Of course, the Church disapproved of this "lottery" system of living together, so in 498 AD Pope Gelasius followed the usual tradition of creating a Christian holiday to replace a pagan one. But the association with love and romance remained.

~Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!!

time past so fast...i still remember that we have just celebrated christmas and new year, and now already come to chinese new year.

instead of greeting people aurally, we can also greet them by sending or giving them a greeting cards. cards with beautiful, creative and meaningful pictures always talks more than what we say. besides, giving cards to the other can also mean more than that. human are always forgetful, they will always forget what they have said or what people have said. with a greeting card, they can feel what you are trying to say and they can even keep it as a memorable things. as we can see, greeting cards are now playing quite an important role.
on the other hands, media are also taking an important role too. SMS, MMS, internet are also very useful now also....we can see that differents types of greeting all over the world.

Human

I wonder why human is such a omplicated living organisms?
besides, why are human was created to be such an intelligent animal.
starting from the very begining, we come here without anything... without name, money and status; at the end we leave this world without anything too. but, why are we chasing all the materialistic things while we can't bring it together when we leave.
However, the fact is, we can't leave in this world without all these things.
when we are getting older and older, our perceptions to this world are getting different and different.

Human have a lot quetions that can't be solve.
i will ask, why human need to talk in language; why are there different languages in this world; different colors of people in this world; why are the white always on top of the black; why someone need to be a leader in the different sector or country; why there are different of personalities/character in every single human; why is the earth is round and not square,not triangle; why every one has a name...and many many more questions....where are all these questions actually come from??
human have many problems, and of course, human create problems too.
human also have many thinking, including good and bad, positive and negative.
human have different kinds of feelings too, angry, sad, happy and etc.
human have diseases and psychological problems too...
everyday, we have to think that what to do today, tomorrow, what to plan this year, year after this....and so on. this will never end until the dya that we are ready to leave this.

Now, can you see that how complicated is human being?!

communications?

can anyone tell me how to talk to family??
every time i talk to them, I feel that they are very tough for me to talk to them.
they don't understand what I'm trying to say, n is hard for me to get into topic with them.
there is like a wall between us, a very thick wall.
sigh.....
however, there is no prolems with me when I am with my friends. I can talk about anything, make them laugh, happy and make the situation become more warm.
is very different when i am infront of my family...maybe I should check that what is going on wih me....but I have think and think and think, I still can't find the answer...maybe I need more time imstead
