After that, we went for lunch and then we went for our BPE lesson for presentation and some lecture.Our group was having problem with the thumb drive and unable to present today. Hence, we are only able to observe other people presentation and evaluate their presentation skill. Most of the group did well for their presentations. After a long presentation, we went back to our bunk for some rest. At night, we went to canteen 3 to check for my laptop condition as i send it for repair. Sadly, my laptop were still being repaired and it took longer than I was expected. After that, we went back to our bunk to take a rest of the day. Here are some photos that were taken today:

After the presentation, It is the start of the test! I did not study for the test as it was open. After i received the question paper, I finally regret my decision. The questions were tough and I personally thought that i did not did a quite nice job. The reason I felt that way is that i did not answer the question directly and did not able to finish all the questions given. After a difficult test, we decided to have our dinner. After the dinner, we called roy and jarold to come our room. We were going to play cards until morning as we are going to the three gorgeous tomorrow.

Reflection: from these two days, i learnt that presentation skill is crucial in business life. I learnt more on how to organise my slides and how to present nicely. By observing other group presentation, i learnt the importance of body language which are used to attract the people's attention and to minimise the word that are used in PowerPoint slides. Point form are very effective as people tend did not read a wordy slides. On top of that, I also learnt that i should not underestimate an open book test. Even it was open book, if we did not prepare well enough we still can fail our exam. By reading the information given, we can analyze the question faster and did not need to waste time to find the correct information/answer. In conclusion, we need to improve our presentation skill as it is a great way to express our idea in a meeting and we should not understimate an open book test

Quote of the day:“Sometimes, you'll look at the sheet or on the PowerPoint presentation and say to yourself, 'Is it going to work? It does.” by Matt Hasselbeck
