Final Showdown.

This article is written in the author's (Firdaus) point-of-view.



Thank God, the presentation was already over.

To be honest, I never felt like this before. It's like butterfly in the stomach.

For the past 21 years, I've never practise or doing any rehearsal for presentation, and this is the first time I am doing it.

You never know how will the judges react.

Serious?

Disagree with your point(s)?

Yeah. That's playing in my mind---til I step on the presentation room.

The room was dim, its yellowish-lamps giving an "exclusive" feel to the room.

Emily passed me the mic and Redz thought me on how to use the clicker.

I took a deep breath, and my mouth citing any doa's that I could remember.

And the next thing is history.


Thank God, the presentation was already over.

The workload is lesser now, just waiting for the final showcase.

But still, lots of things must be done for the finale.


Posters, models and stuffs. Shit. I thought I can rest now. LOL

Never mind, this will end in one weeks time.

And everything's going to be okay.


Thank God, the presentation was already over.

But to think of it---time flies by in a blink of eye.

Even today, I can still remember our joy and excitement when the emcee announce that we are one of the finalist.

Yeah, it was unpredictable. How come an underdog like us can pass through this selection while other "big" universities can't?

Well, it is time for us to show what we are made of :)

And, I just can't imagine how this competition changed my life.


Aside from that, we traveled a lot.

Kg. Terian in Sabah, Kg. Sentah and Kg Semulong Ulu in Sarawak.

It is an eye opener, never thought that electricity plays a major role in humans life.

Now I know, a single tap of switch can change everything.



Thank God, the presentation was already over.

However, I wish we could do it again.

Impress those judges and see those smiles carved on our mentor's and advisor's face.

Endless support and attentions from you guys resulting in what we are today.

Thank you. It is priceless.


Thank God, the presentation was already over.


But, am I ready to end all of these things?
