My GT experience

My GT experience was really great, my team mates are all good presenters. During poly days, presentation was a breeze for me. I like presenting and articulate my ideas in front of audience, I have a dream of becoming of an successful person giving an inspirational speech on stage to inspire people. I guess it is because I was from engineering school and the teacher did not have such high requirement on the language used, that is why I was free to articulate my ideas without taking much consideration of the accuracy of language used. I felt that every words speaking out from my mouth which consisted of a powerful substance to impact audience.

After going through GT , I sat down to watch carefully about the presentation which was recorded and I found tons of fillers words I used and the postures that I had were pretty unprofessional. I felt that my presentation was natural but the way I spoke was a bit forceful. From the GT experience, I started to realize it is important to be good at the pronunciation and language used. I believe when we step out to the corporate world, people are judgmental, no matter how good your content is, once the language and pronunciation are not correct, people would not bother about listening the rest of your presentation.

Thanks for the constructive comments given by peers and Brad, I know it takes time to be a good presenter like being successful but I believe I can be the best of myself no matter in life or presentation.

Intercultural conflict

Hi, This is the second time I'm writing a blog and the first time writing a blog regarding to intercultural and interpersonal conflict. Recently in NUS, there is a girl who used her ukulele singing on the NUS A2 shuttle bus and the intention is to make University a happier place. From my perspective, I would think that this is actually a great and fun interaction with strangers though we do not know each other but through certain interaction, a smile, greet and gesture we can create a sense of pleasure in everyone's heart and in order to make university or a country better place and shaping the "warm culture."

To some extent, there may be person holding different perspective that they might think that this is kind of a disturbance when riding on a stranger using ukulele singing beside you.

How would you guys think about singing on a ride. Excluding those annoying singer with extremely awful voice.
