Discussion #25

For our Quantum Theory Group Discussion (QTGD) 25 . I was speaker no. 1. and in yesterday topic, I was talking about Types of Modular Forms. Previously I updated on the Well Planned Writing. Also from the same book, I used the Well Planned Talk method.

5 important methods for a well planned talk

  1. Brief Introduction
  2. Main Points
  3. Elaborations plus visual aids
  4. Conclusions
  5. Discussions
I found that after I implement this method my flow of presentation is smooth and direct. Last time, I did focus on important things to highlight to audience and at the same time trying to make my presentation understandable. But usually I can see confuses faces. As my sifu always remind me that, at one point you need to practice before your presentation and also timing yourself. He said that you need to value the audience since they 'sacrifice' their time to sit and hear you talk. And for the first time, I did what he recommended. Twice actually.

And for the result, I'm happy to see few audience wrote down what I've been talking about. It is a nice feeling.

Visits to Cameron Highlands

Last weekend, me and my family (for the first time) got together in what we call a hang out (slightly to a vacation) at Cameron Highland, Pahang. This is my first time to be here and and it feels great. We stay at the Greenhill Heritage apartment at Tanah Rata. Thanks to my brother for booking this CIMB apartment for us to stay. A waive accommodation fee is really enjoyable.


We traveled by car (two of them) and heading north through Tapah route. We were planning for the Simpang Pulai but due to time constraint we decided to just follow the nearest exit to Cameron. We reached the apartment at 8 pm. But the Tapah journey was really scary and there's landslide everywhere. However when we came across the Orang Asli and their home, it tells me that it's going to be safe.

We managed to visit the Rose Garden at Brinchang and stop at few stalls selling fruits (strawberries, Crystal Guava, Pearl Cornes, vegetables (freshy) and Bharat Tea Shop (on our way home, near Ringlet).

A very nice journey, visits and a get together family.

Suggested item- a second time visits to Cameron is worth it
