6am: Went down stairs and switch on my PC and did some last minute reading to refresh my mind.

6.55am: Took my shower and dressed up for the presentation. I wore black slacks and a long sleeve button shirt, with the sleeve folded.

7.20am: Mom was awake. When I came down from the shower she gave me a bowl of chicken soup. WEEE! I ate a little chocolate cake too. I packed everything, my notes, my cpu, my cables just in case. My dad helped me carry my CPU to the car. ...He then packed my keyboard, mouse, extension cable and chuck it in the car for me. (I feel like he was even more 'kan cheong' compared to me hehehe) I told him I didn't need it but he...ah well...no harm done.

7.45am: Left the house. I drove extra careful through the bumps and stuff cos my CPU is in the car. If that is gone, I'm gone.

8.05am: Reached APIIT's entrance. Looked for the guard but he wasn't there. So I did case 1. A kind gentleman helped my close my car door. =) Both of my hands were occupied with the CPU already, and I was like...'argh put on the floor?' But then he came to help. Very sweet of him.

8.15am: Reached the level 3 lab level. My arms were aching from carrying the CPU. There was a point I almost dropped my CPU. Thank god I didn't *phew* None of the lab assistant were visible then, so I just put my CPU in Presentation Room 5 (That's the room I'm suppose to present in)

8.30am: 'Where the hell are the lab assistants?' I can't really touch the hardware in the presentation room without informing the lab assistants.

8.40am: 'Fuck the lab assistants' I don't have time to waste waiting already. I went on fixing up my CPU. Went over to presentation room 1 to 'borrow' power cables. ...Then at last I see a lab assistant. I told him what I did. He looked blur.

9am: Got my stuff configured. But my search engine using the Google API wasn't working. I have already changed the address and port number to by pass the firewall. *Fuck* My supervisor came in. *Fuck again* I told him my problem, there was nothing I can do. The lab assistant came into help me configure but no avail. My assessor then came in. I can't waist time on configuration. I started my presentation.

I didn't get a smooth presentation cos one of the RnD guys came in to the presentation room to help me check the configuration problem. He interrupted my presentation for about 3 times. Then for the fourth time, another RnD fellar came in ... or was he a bigger kanuna? I don't know. Anyways, no avail la. *arseee* Fuck the configuration, I continued with my slides, and then went ahead to run my project.

10am: My presentation was supposed to end, but I have not finished presenting yet! I had to rush, blabber my stuff. I was then asked to leave the room for a bit so both my assessor and supervisor can discuss about my grading. Less then one minute later (yeah man, it was damn fast), I was asked to return to the room. I was asked for my opinion on my own project. I crapped a little. Then my supervisor told me, 'Sure pass' and my assessor said my real results will be out after the moderation.

The 'Sure pass', that's all I wanted to hear. I’m officially all done with my Final Year Project. wOOt! Now I can format my PC. Hohoho.

Oh yeah…the presentation was not scary la. Just do your thing…I did mine and it went fine…minus the configuration part.
