My little puss in boot xp
Yeap, my little puss but he's big trust me ;p
I miss how he'd crawl onto my bed every morning when everyone is trying to wake me up, he will continue sleeping with me... Cute ain't him? When you first look at him, he looks tough like a bodyguard, but he's very spoiled. He likes people to pamper him... He wants people to accompany him while he eats. Mengada! But it's fine, because when I'm sad, I don't need to call for Goldie, he'll come and sit next to me. He won't go anywhere till I move... He's a gentleman. He's loyal. He's sweet and loving. He's a friend. He could be my next boyfriend ;p
He wasn't expensive when we got him. He came from nowhere, and my mom fed him. In return, he acted very nice and polite, most importantly, he did not poop anywhere near the house or neighbours' houses. So, we kept him. When we go for holiday, we thought he would have run away but he stayed. Long enough till even my dad loves him, I know he does. Usually he won't allows any cats in the house, but this Goldie, is the only exception. LOL. He's my only exception.

MUET preparation
Haven't done your MUET? Despite your age ladies and gentleman, anyone can take MUET now. This is based on experience last week. I am a private candidate student. I chose a school near to my place. I had to survey the school first because I never knew where it was till I had to take my MUET examination there.
When I get there, I was expecting students around my age only to be there. Other than that, I thought it was the teachers or the parents of the candidates. But, gosh they're all candidates too! There are a teacher, and engineer who's taking MUET because without it he can't graduates. Chinese, Malays and Indians all in one room. Which means, you just can't predict who will be in your group. And foremost, you cannot underestimate other people. In other word, you cannot judge especially by how they look. Old people taking MUET may look funny but you must remember they're much wiser in life. They know more on general issues and issues in life.
Well, enough of babbling. As a private candidate, I wasn't really aware of the dates of my examination. The last time I check the 'Mohe' website, it say that I'll be taking my Speaking examination in 2 weeks time! I was freaking out! Damn, I wasn't prepared at all... So what I did was, I went to bookstore and bought a book on MUET papers. However, my schedule was so tight on tests and presentations, I barely had time to open the book or even glance at it.
One day before exam, I finally took a look at the book. Only reading the past year questions on speaking test. Then I did some reading on examples of essays. I did not just read, I read them loudly. With intonations and fluently. Get it? I needed some proofs that I can speak well Insya Allah. That is all I did for a prep and tell ya it's kinda enough for a speaking test.
Other than that, most important is make sure you know the format!!! Urgh, some candidates just walk into the room without even knowing the format, trust me! this is for real! You have to know how long you're given to prepare, how long you have to speak... Then, how many section. Individual and group section... What is the format of the questions... Things like that. Basic ones.
If you want to have a further view on the MUET test, try to Uncle Google the example or watch them on YouTube :)
Most of MUET speaking test questions will only touch on the contemporary issues. The social problems or anything related mostly to youths.
Last but not least, be confident even if you know you're repeating your points. And dress smart to impress the judges.
YOUTUBE will help! :)

In Twitter, I'd say RT this :P
They say, "Be a girl with a mind, a bitch with an attitude, & a lady with a class"
Tips for Presentation
Tips for Presentation? WEAR HIGH HEELS! The higher, the better ;p Wait, I am freaking serious. I do that all the time, I walk in with a flat shoe but when it's my turn to present, I'll change to my high heel. I will feel more confident of myself. Well, you can try.
Do look smart too, for girls, the least you can put on is baju kurung but make sure it's a presentable one. And one more thing, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. For example, I have this one baju kurung that makes me feel like I look so sweet wearing it. For guys, as usual you guys don't have much choice but to wear slack and formal shirt and also black shoe of course, but you can vary by wearing different kind of colours rather than black and black and black.
Make sure you know what you are going to say on the presentation. When you know what you're doing exactly, then again your confident level will add up. Be sure you have a little notes with you in case you forget a little bit here and there during your speech. Even if you want to write an essay long of notes it's alright, but NEVER NEVER read the text! You can refer to it but don't read! It's kinda rude to the audience as well I guess. You don't wanna be rude don't you...?
If it's a group presentation it is best if you rehearsed the presentation first to get the idea of the presentation flow. But if you're running out of time, it's okay, just make sure your group members know which is their part, and ready for their part of presentation. Then only the flow will be great.
NEVER EVER chew a gum or anything during a presentation! It's just plain rude.
Ahhh, one more thing. I've seen too many of this during presentations. Mostly, students will write an essay on their slide. Do you want to present or you want us to read by ourselves? Put only points! For example, if you're presenting on 'consumer benefit', just put maybe first its cheap, second its high quality. The rest of the text, speak them out. Present the elaborations by yourself! When you write so much on your slides, tendency is you'll just be reading them out. This is another kind of rudeness that can occur during a presentation -.-
Another thing that I realized, when we are nervous, we'll be using so much of fillers like 'aaaa', 'umm', 'errr', 'aaaaaa'... Yg ni nak buat macam mana, you have to overcome the fear and this process will definitely take time. Fix it each time you present, remember you want people to see you, judge you as a smart, brave and confident person. But I can tell you, if you're well prepared for a presentation, the tendency of using fillers is less than when you're not ready or last minute prepared. So, remind yourself, when doing a presentation, make sure you're ready by a day before!
Last but not least, ask yourself, when you're presenting, you want people to pay attention and at leasttt act like they understand what you're saying right? The same goes to other presenters... Thus, when other people is presenting, be quiet even you've done yours. Your cooperation is much appreciated ;p
That's all for now, and for girls, don't forget to wear high heels!
