Finally, I got face to see my boss. But, I will more happy if that one is my project. During the presentation, I just keep shooting by 2 judge ( 1 from FK, 1 from FIT). In the same times, I keeping protect myself and trying to speak out. That times, I just try my best to perform without thinking anything prize. Although I keep shooting by the judge until half die, but I feel very happy, I learn a lot of new things during the R & D Expo [the ways you answer the question, the ways you think - preparing for my next presentation] ^^

22-3-2011 (Tuesday) - Having presentation in Sarawak Development Institute (SDI). This is the first times, I present in front of many people (until no seat for the audience + many reporters there from the STAR, Borneo Post and others..)..I feel nervous because first times presenting in front of many people. Yeah, Boss say just try you best..I just tell myself "Jangan memalukan Uni" and try my best to present.. Ops..my turn to present. My presentation topic is Named-Entity Recognition for Iban Language. When I present the first slides, I feel a bit nervous. But, I become more and more confident after I presented few slides. Is try to share the concept and idea to others just like I teaching tutorial. So far, the audience are nice and they also willing to give response. Finally, I feel proud with my boss and I also feel proud myself can be one of the member of SaLT.
