Well, is not about questioning Yu Jian's idea "Of all the people, you (the shy) was invited to co-emcee with him", but is about You yourself who embrace the personality that attracts people and allow someone to appreciate the charisma that instills inside you.
Is glad to know that you accepted to be the co-emcee, because by the end of the day, you found it was a good exprience and enlighten yourself.(Your dad are proud of you too!)
BRAVO for accepting such a challenge and everyone has his/her first time in each matter. Even one does not perform well for the first time, I always believe he/she deserves a SECOND Chance...is a matter of the spirit of willing to learn and improvements. By the end of the day, nothing is impeccable...coz:
Life is not PErFecT...tht's what
