finally

To be honest, I could not focus in Maths nor English Class. My mind was on the Toastmasters Meeting. I was so scared people would not come. I expected only 5 people at most and I told myself- it's okay if I need to cry at the end, my efforts must have had a reason behind it eventhough it does not work out.

The event tentatively begins at 6:00pm. But at 5:30pm, someone burst into the room telling me that the toastmasters have arrived, at the same time Puan Haliza frantically called for me that the speakers have arrived and shafiq phoned me that the speakers are here. Yes, all at the same time. So I hurried to the front desk and met with the three speakers who just arrived; Devan, Ismail Omar and Lucy. I told them they were mighty early. Devan smiled and said: "No, it's okay. Toastmasters must be on time!" and he said it in a really kind way but it made me feel so embarassed; because the lecturers came at 6:00pm and only 10 minutes later, the students slowly trickled in. It should have been students, lecturers then speakers. Aiyoo...

The meeting went very smoothly though. Apart from the sudden outburst of the latecomers (ahem; namely Mr Ahmad Fakhri) who was the MC and immediately assumed his role which was temporarily filled.

I learnt that I have excessive head bobbing symptom whenever I am agreeing with a speaker; okaylah, i admit people are just meant to nod here and there to show they are listening- but i do vigorous vertical head movements just to show that I am fully and spiritedly agreeing with what they are saying. Ahmad says its weird. Feh Pink says; if you put a CCTV to watch your head, you'd know what we mean. And when I asked everyone, they straight away said yes I do do that! Grr... But Alina says it's cute. Fuh-_-"

At the end,there were many positive response. They found the meeting motivational, inspirational and some even suggested to make it compulsory! Lol. That was funny. But anyway, that's how good it was okay! There were many "congratulatings"... I was so glad and relieved it was all over...for now...

Yes in the end, I cried- but out of happiness and utter delight.
