Book Purchase @ Kinokuniya Books

This afternoon, together with Miss Tay, Miss Wong, Miss Poh and Mr Ho, we went down to Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City to make book purchase for our school library.

Miss Wong bought some English Books while Miss Poh, Mandarin books. Mr Ho just tag along with us. Miss Tay purchase some fiction books while I aim for multimedia, comic production as well as photography books. Miss Tay say I may be the one who spend the most as these books I recommended were expensive (above $50++). Buying books at Kinokuniya for the library is so much fun. We just take a scanner and look for the books we want. Once we locate the books, we just scan the barcode. The bookstore will collate an excel spreadsheet and send to Miss Tay (the library teacher) for approval and the order will be delivered to the school library.

Later we all went for tea at Starbucks before returning home. We may be making another trip again if there are leftover funds. So guys, enjoy the new books!!!

Multimedia Educators' Conference

I presented a topic on my company's Multimedia Educators' Conference yesterday. All preparation for this conference presentation paid off. All went well and feedbacks has been positive. :)

My Training Manager approached me to speak during the conference in Febuary. I was reluctant not because of stage fright but because I am new to the company and this job. (I was only 5 months to the job then). After his assurance and my Admin Manager's encouragement, I took it up.

The intense preparation started about a month ago when all speakers meet at HQ for a meeting then later at the conference location for a rehearse. The week before the conference, I am occupied with fine-tuning the slides and constant reherse. This was done on top of my busy schedule in school as well as my studies at UniSA.

The day before the conference, Sunday, I spend the whole full day studying at Kaplan City Campus. That night, I worked till 2am for final preparation. Waked up at 5am to prepare to go out as I need to meet the trainers for breakfast at 7am then reach the conference location at 8am. Finally, the conference started at 9am and I presented my topic at 11am.

Had a tiring day. By the time I reached home at 7pm, I am dead tired and fell asleep immediately after dinner. I did it!!! I have presented in a conference of 80 participants! It is an achievement!!! Gratefult to my Training Manager for the opportunity and my Admin Manager for the encouragement! :)

Here are the slides to my presentation:
