"We are responsible for each other. That's part of being human..... isn't it?" - Dick Grayson/Robin
Today, was for me, a good day because of two things.
Firstly, Real Madrid beaten in the Copa del Rey by Real Zaragoza. Secondly, how my presentation for the DDD follow-up assignment went.
_____________________________________________________________
Now, the day didn't got off to a cheery start though. As I left the house and reached Jalan Semantan at around 7:50 am, almost the entire road from the intersection after leaving Jalan Beringin and entering the Jalan Semantan was jam and packed. Now, this commotion usually didn't happened before here. Normally, even if I arrived at this place at 8, this part of the road you can still find a space to move in to the right as cars are still moving slightly. Today, at this point of the road it was jam packed, you couldn't find a small space to just even weave your car a lil' bit to the right lanes. Anyway, upon seeing all those, I just went up and up, but I knew had to urgently move to the right (as I would not be following the Semantan road and just in front is an intersection to the left, which is entering Jalan Dungun). I was wondering, why is it like this? Could it be because of the MRR2 closure?
As I moved on, I found a space, and made my move. But as soon as I swerved to the right, suddenly some punk a-s muthaf-ka honed out long and loud. I didn't know whether it was the driver behind me on the right lane I just entered or was it the driver behind me on the left lane that I just left who went on forward and moved to the left. It really ticked me off, and urgedly made me felt that I want to get out and smash that prick's head with the sterring lock. Of course, that woulda' been unsensible and invited trouble, so I just kept my anger and drove away. In the end of the day, it's all part & parcel of matters being a driver and being a road user, especially here in Malaysia. Some would at least give you way, some wouldn't, and there are those who are just blindly ignorant and doesn't give a sh-t about other road users (like my father would say, they only think of themselves).
So I arrived at APIIT, and met Harvin as we waited for CNI class outside L1-9. he was saying "...wahhh......Madrid semalam ah...enam satu mah......". At that point, my heart felt shocked and that my mind was like "bahhhhh......they won again". Furthermore, the first leg of that Copa del Rey semifinal was being played at Zaragoza's La Romareda, so I was like "damn.......they got a big margin score to bring back to the second leg". At that point, I thought that it was gonna be a looong day (and I had to present for DDD in the afternoon). Harvin didn't show much expression anyway, he was like selamber je. So I really thought those Galacticos basta-ds won.
Anyway, proceeding with the CNI class, David came in with a kind off slomber face. He told that last night was a bad night for English football and Spanish football. He went on saying Liverpool got beaten again (2-0 defeat to Charlton follwing the Chelsea defeat). But I was baffled though when he mentioned the sad part about Spanish football. He didn't say anthing about the Zaragoza-Madrid clash.....
After CNI finished, went to lab (LAB 2). It was free time. So I sat in the second row, at the pc second from the wall and made usual internet activity. So, made my usual stop at www.sport.es. Feeling kinda pessimestic.......then saw the headline................BANG!

R. Zaragoza 6 - 1 R. Madrid
First emotion was shocked, then disbelieve, and then exhilaration. The adrenaline rush that filled up my brain at that moment was probably as quick as a big wave heading towards a beach, and it suddenly made me felt good and lively. No wonder David was saying it was a bad day for Spanish football, and Harvin surely heard the information wrongly! Now, I don't wanna go on dwindling about it. Suffice to say, as a Barcelonista, life is good when Los Merengues loses (enough said). It also kinda fired me up with motivation to present for DDD later (haha).
_____________________________________________________________
Throughout the day, I was feeling a lil' bit anxious. You see, in the afternoon I had to present a presentation in DDD class regarding 'Client Server architecture' (what's it all 'bout). Last Tuesday, Sunita went and split up the entire class into groups where everybody had to go and joined according to numbers that she assigned to each student. 6 numbers, six groups. I was assigned as a no 3.
The no 3 group was the smallest, only 7 students (!) when it looked like the other groups got more numbers of students than us. So we all did our job, each one making a PowerPoint slide for our group's presentation. Before, I don't know how or why, I got 'chosen' to be presenter. At first, nobody wanted to present (typical of students), then how it happen.......suddenly I'm presenting. Well, another guy was chosen to present together with me (a Chinese guy called Hendrik).

And hence comes triple D class......It started off funnily.
Well, to begin, the projector was missing (literally, the whole of it!) ! How the hell that happened I had no idea, but it was the buzz that made everbody in the auditorium go "Hahhhhhh?!!........wahahahaha!!!......" (seriusly, it was, haha). Anyway, Sunita called for assistance, and around half an hour later one of the technicians (not the TA ahh, mind you) rectified the situation with a portable projector, and the show thus went on.
The presentations started with other groups presenting their answers on their respective Quick Review questions that the lecturer assigned to each group. Harvin went out first (representing grp. no.'4'). Things looked normal..........until when he was about to start talking.........suddenly he nearly tripped on the staircase of the stage he was on! At that point, everybody was like shouting "Weeiiihhhhhh! Watchout!!" But what made it even more 'exciting' was a girl actually screamed out loud! (as Harvin nearly had fell - !) It was a hilarious moment really. That moment, lot of those guys started like pointing fingers and saying "woooooohhhhhhhhh!" and "fewiitttttttttt!" and "ahhhhh.......you got an admirer!" ! Haha........
Anyway, the hilariousness didn't stop there. The next presenter, a Chinese guy from grp no '2' went up. He himself was trying to be funny, and he sort of acted by being nearly tripping off the stage (haha....tak guna betul). Afzal came up next (can't remember his group no) but he was being his usual self. Stayed cool (even promoted his Dot.Net stuff at the end). The next presentation was funny. The presenter, an Indian, did a lot of work (all were shown on like 6 pages of Microsoft Word). Only problem was, they were not the facts that Sunita wanted! Sunita asked him to present the actual and required answers, so he went on and sort of pleaded to his fellow group members to help him out. The way he pleaded was funny; he was smiling and saying words like "group ' 1 ' members, come down please...!" but for sure he had a panicked sense and anxiety inside him when when he was saying those words......you could tell it from his face (haha...).
Anyway, he managed to answer Sunita's questions.
Sunita declared 5 minutes break, and it was my turn afterwards. (went out for a quick piss)
Came back, and moments later I presented. As usual, the time before I start presenting something is always when I'm in a lil' nervous mood (where I know what I wanna say but the feeling of not so much comfortable speaking in front of a large crowd bothers me a bit), but as soon as I presented.....I kept on talking, making the necessary eye contacts around the auditorium and just rolled (that is how I roll in a presentation). Everybody looked like they were focussing on what I said, but to me the audience all seemed looked like embedded in a wave of blurriness. But it seemed quiter than during the earlier presentations. Nothing funny happened I supposed. As I finished my part, I could hear Sunita saying "well, now I know who will take over when I'm not around" .Only funny thing happened was when I finished presenting my part of the slides, and Hendrik was supposed to take over. Instead, the fella insisted me on continuing presenting,....he was like "go on lah, go on lah, present some more.." and I was like "ehh, you present your slides lah".....then he still insisted on me and I insisted on him and vice versa........Well, the class and Sunita obviously saw it, and I heard some chuckles (haha....). Anyway Hendrik presented his part.
What made me felt good about it was, at the end of the class, Jia Sheng (can't exacly remember his name, his in the same group as me and acted like the project manager for the team) went up, gave me a pat on the back, shook my hands and congratulated and thanked me for the presentation I did. I told him, that we're a team, we all did this. It's not just about me. He gave me a pat on the back. Also shook hands with Hendrik for a job well done.
That made me felt good, when somebody sort of appreciates the part you do in a group work. I didn't feel much good vibes from the presentation that I did (in the end, it all just go away) but the response from the fellow group members made me felt good.
