My memory is so short that I got to write this down before I forgot.
So I had Advocacy class this morning. I spent quite some time to do my skeleton argument, and I thought I can do well in the class. I gave myself higher aim since I got quite satisfying mark form the tutor last week.
But life just doesn't go as you wish.
I was totally not in the mood this morning to present my speech. I couldn't structure my sentences properly. I couldn't really listen to my own voice. And as I was presenting, I knew I did it badly.
That really ruined my mood, and I was so disappointed on myself.
The tutor gave me my feedback and told me what and how to improve. I accepted whatever she said, and told her I wasn't really feeling well. And I don't know was it because it's so obvious that I was down, this guy - the super charming guy from my group - he said to my tutor, that it was unfair to use the english people standard to judge me, since the method and style I was using might be accepted in Msia and I will be practising in Msia at last (sth like that la...). And he said it in a very very very nice and sweet way. And OMGosh, it was so heartwarming! He really managed to cheer me up a lil bit at that time. I almost teared. haha. And no, I do not feel offended. Not even a bit. because I know he was just trying hard to make me feel better. And his sweet smile to me after that nearly kills me=P
Then the tutor moved on and commented that my voice was too loud (which is funny, cuz normally ppl get comment of being too soft instead of too loud..haha). And another guy from my group told the tutor that this might be because the room was too small. And if I get to the courtroom my voice would be fine. Once again, I was so surprised and touched. Seriously, they could just sit there and commented nothing which I normally would do so. But they chose to speak for me just to make me feel better. And all these came in such a right timing as I was so down in the class just not.
They are the nicest ang moh friends I ever met. Seriously.I rmb during uni time I do not have any ang moh friends because they couldnt really pronounce my name and couldnt care less to try to pronounce it. And my groupmates, they are the only few who willing to get my name correct and pronounce it SO ACCURATELY!
True that I was down because I did not perform well and did not meet my expectation today. But then I just found out that I have such lovely and supportive groupmates who are always there for me. I doubt I would talk to them more even after this. But again, Thanks for making my day! Love they all so much! <3
