I’ll be going for all 3 events :) Helping out in the first event, taking a look at the second and participating in the third.
Yes. I am going up to stage, facing a sea of Japanese Senior High School girls and guys and reading my speech in their native language whilst the Japanese students will do their in English.
I joined in without much thinking. Don’t ask me why, seriously. Sensei wants us to prepare our draft in both English and Japanese next thursday. I’ll probably talk on “My Future/Desire” or something along those lines. It’s the first for me to give a speech, and I hope I don’t screw up haha.

Oh, and for those who were wondering why I had to wear such formal clothes today. My group had to do our presentation and we’d decided to wear the ‘office attire’ (meaning long sleeve shirts, suits and all) and present.
^ The five of us. I’m on the outmost right.
no tie = fail. good luck on the speech though. be prepare to battle shitload of butterflies in your stomach.
Decked out… nice. Giving a speech to the masses eh, just “try” to be as natural as possible and good luck =)
no tie = good
ZOMG, i’m suffocated XP
take some photos as usual please, hawt girl preferred :P
