Day 5 Hong Kong

Today was the presentation day. It was super cool. I was super ready. It was brilliant. The lecture theater was super filled.

First, it was my professor who presented. Then it was mine. I was on a roll man. Made the audience laughed. Made them interact with the questions. Once I saw them smile and nod, I knew this was going to be easy. Prof Marsh was in the audience too!

After the presentation, about 6 to 10 teachers came up to me, congratulated me for a, quote-unquote, 'wonderful'. One particular teacher said straight, 'it was almost perfect'. Even Prof Marsh said it was a good presentation.

Wait, wait, wait. Before you say, "See.. he's getting big headed again." I must defend myself and say that I did not think my presentation was 'perfect'. I think there were many flaws. I am fully aware that teachers have a habit of saying nice things.

All I'm saying is that I'm happy with my own performance. I did not stumble nor did I say anything stupid. I was clear, concise and I even interacted with my audience during the talk. I'm happy to be able to perform as well as I planned it to be. To top it all, I looked super sharp in my presentation suit. Like I normally do... heh heh heh.

Dinner was vegetarian pizza and coke. My room mate paid for the pizza. It was a break from cup noodles. Tomorrow, I'm going China, Senzhen, for a day for the second part of the conference. I do hope everything will go well...

My skin, after having spent almost a week in Hong Kong is super dry. It is the very low humidity I guess. I must remember to bring moisturizer to Turkey. Hong Kong TV reported of an airplane crash in Turkey. I hope my trip will be safe.
