Kefalonia Reflections

In Humanities our task was to create a powerpoint and write about "What we call home". I chose Kefalonia, Greece because I love it and it is a really beautiful. I was very excited to do this presentation and now since I have presented it I am going to write about what I think I did well, what I need to improve on ect.

What do I believe I did well on my project?

I think that the city I chose was good because it was different from other people. One of my favorite slides was the "History" slide because Greek history is very interesting because it involves mythology and something that was different on my history slide was "The Earthquake" which was different from other cities. I feel like my project was detailed but not to much and it was precise. I think my graphics were good because they were not blurred and you can clearly see them. I am happy with my presentation. :)

What will I improve in future presentations/projects?

I think that in my presentation I should slow down because I talk fast when I am nervous. On my projects I need to improve on making sure the photos are not blurry the the audience can read the text and to cut down my information in small parts so it's not all in one paragraph. It is important that I do not just read the information of the screen because then the audience could just read on their own and they won't really care about what you are saying. I should always try to add as much information as I can. :)

What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in addition to the

presentations of others?

It was very interesting to see other people present because it showed me how nervous people get about one tiny thing and thats when I notice I had to be more confident. Watching other people present was like a golden ticket for me to Hollywood. It really helped me on my presentation and therefore I was a bit more confident when I presented. It is really amazing how you can improve your presentation by watching people doing the same thing. I think people only concentrate about the information and not really the big picture unless the presenter makes a big mistake. :P

What is your analysis of your performance?

I think all in all I did a pretty good job. Of course there is always something I need to improve on and I have a lot of those areas in my performance but I am really happy with myself and what my end result looked like.

Thank You

New Year Resolutions/Christmas

One of my resolutions for 2011 is to loose weight. This is one of my resolutions because I am moving to a new school and I do not want to be bullied in the new school that I am big. Being bigger then a lot of the other girls in my class is hard and I don't like my body so I am going to change it by going on a diet with my mother. I always wanted to have a slim body like the other girls so now I have the chance to and that is my top resolution for 2011. I have not been new to a school for 8 years so that is really hard for me and I don't want my first months in my new school to be bad. But I know that the school will be great and that i will not be bullied and I am proud of that. I also believe in my resolution so I will never give up.

Another resolution for 2011 is for my family and I to have a good start in Turkey. This is really important because when ever you move you should have a good start so you feel welcomed in the country. Turkey is different from Malaysia so I have to get used to a new lifestyle and new people. I am sure Turkey is a very nice country to live in and my new school will be great. Moving to Turkey will be very hard but at the same time it will fun. Turkey here I come... :)

Those were my resolutions for 2011.

Here are a few pictures of my Christmas holiday in Vietnam:

"Welcome to your hotel," our tour guide says as we entered the "Metropole Sofitel Ha Noi"
"Wow," is all that could come out of my mouth. We had finally arrived to Ha Noi and we were dead tired. We were going to a lot of places in Vietnam. Ha Noi, Ha Long Bay, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City. I was amazed I was so excited for a new adventure. A Few Days Later... "Welcome to Nha Trang Ana Mandara Resort," a very kind lady told us as she showed us our rooms. I looked out the window and I saw it. The thing I have been waiting for in forever. The beach. It was beautiful. "Come on lets go outside!" I shouted to my sisters as we collapsed on the beach. "Uhhh, it's so nice I want to stay here forever!" I told them.
"Come on let's take some pictures," Sophia said to me. I ran and jumped. SNAP! I did the joy jump! :)



"Come on now open you're main present," my dad said as he nudged me.
"Okay, I will," I answered.
I reached under the tree and grabbed a square shaped present. I slowly slipped the ribbon off, and very carefully took the wrapping paper off. "Oh my gosh!" I yelled from excitement! In my hands i held a box which showed a camera on it. I have always wanted my own camera and now I finally got one. It was pink and touch screen. I was so excited. "Come here and take a picture of you're camera," my sister said to me.
"Okay , of course!" I answered back. CLICK!
