When You Expect Too Much
Dipos oleh avid

Lepas semayang subuh, gua buat rehearsel sekali lagi. Kali ni 9 minit lebih sikit. Ok la kot, gua rasa. Masuk pukul 7, gua tenangkan adrenalin gua dengan sesi mensyampu rambut dan meng-conditioner-kannya. Habis mandi, gua nervous lagi. Gua main Fluorescent Adolescent kejap untuk tenangkan diri.

Tepat pukul 8, gua pergi fakulti. Dalam pukul 9, start presentation. Gua mula dulu, jadi gua present dulu. Masa ni gua dah tak nervous sangat dah. Mungkin rambut yang lembut dan wangi mampu menenangkan adrenalin gamaknya.

Idea gua masa present adalah untuk bagi panel supervisors paham apa sebenarnya yang gua buat. Gua nak audience to be engaged dengan research gua. Boy, I couldn't be more wrong.

The truth is, supervisors tu tak nak paham pun apa yang gua present. Masa gua present la, depa sibuk nak usha penjaga masa, tanya bape minit dah? Bape minit dah? Talk about respecting people who are trying to make you understand. Pfft! Kalau sekali dua tanya tu boleh la gua tahan, tapi bila setiap dua minit tanya penjaga masa, gua dah rasa nak baling marker kat kepala depa.

The lesson here kid is, kalau korang present korang punyer research tak payah susah-susah nak bagi panel supervisors paham. They're just gonna mark a few weak spots on your PPT slide, and bam! They're gonna lawyer you for it. And as for me, they asked just this:

"Where did you get the leeches?"

I wanted to answer them like this:

"Err..you know, I once dated your mom and she bought 'em all with your education fund"

Instead, I answered them with:

"Well, I get it from the leeches farm"

Takkan la gua nak beli lintah-lintah tu dari Jaya Jusco pulak. Besides, the fact that they didn't ask me why I didn't consider making my desired protein by using recombinant microbes really bothered me. Anyone who paid attention to my presentation and have bioprocess engineering background would be intrigued and ask me that.

Well, to be fair, silap gua jugak nak expect depa paham sebijik-sebijik research gua. Bukannya gua sorang yang present. Hahahaha. Silly me.
