But back to the presentation - years of experience under my belt and the fact that I know my stuff well meant that I didn’t really have to prep that much - rehearse and all - and just had to familiarize myself with the deck beforehand. What was sort of unexpected for me was how, even with this knowledge, I felt very jittery in the week and especially the two days leading up to it. Perhaps I got carried away by the general tension D was projecting, but I should have trusted myself more. Didn’t like that uneasy feeling but as I said, the sense of relief that came over after was rather satisfying and I was glad to get it out of the way. 

Month actually started with another routine KL trip. Always thought I’d get bored of it soon but still managed to keep it generally packed. Rain Rave Festival kept things a bit interesting in terms of logistical challenges, but after Park Hyatt hotels will always pale in comparison. Moxy was a pretty value for money gem though, and the whole Chinatown area has more to explore so I might dedicate some time here the next time round. 

And that sets me up nicely for Japan! It’ll be covered in the reflections post as usual, along with the series of ten posts or so - sigh days without backlogs are over - and I did manage to cut down to my target weight prior to the trip, though barely but again I’ll take the win. Funnily enough trainer did body check the week before and a weekend later, did a double take claiming that I visibly looked even leaner than the week prior so took another set of photos. I do think visually there’s now an obvious difference in that people are commenting about me slimming down again, even if the stupid body fat percentage is stubbornly slow. Bulking next and I wonder how it’d turn out. 

But I digress. Till next month!
