Today was the first day of 881 Musical. Since I never been to musical, so I decided to support this.

It was worth the price and if I am able to get enough money, I hope to get the most front row to better view of the whole musical.

I never regret spending the money for this musical. Thanks CQ for introducing such a great musical.

Its my first day to embark new chapter in my life! Everything was very fresh and I managed to reached the class on time even though I was almost stucked at level 1 due to long wait to take the lift till 7th storey.

Feeling excited as I will be meeting my first facilitator and start working on the very first problem in group of 5 or 6 as my class have 26 students.

First lesson of this week is Science and facilitator is Ang Yong Wei. Since its the first lesson, so he sent us all an email which contains actually an ice breaker game for us to start communicating with our team members. It contains 10 sentences, but what he need us to do was only to get the whole group to stand up. I was quick and informed my team to stand up. Than they in turn to inform the whole class.

This really wakes us up and then he began with the first problem statement and run through with us the steps to do PDT and lead us to prepare a set of powerpoint slides based on the problem statement given.

He told us, we have one break at 9.15am-10.15am where we can have a quick bite before we came back to work on the powerpoint slides. Than our lunch break will be 11.30am-1.30pm. This is also great time we allocate our job and complete the slides to upload to our team folder by 1.30pm.

Since it was first day, so he did not penalized us when we could not finished it on time. When we one by one team went up to do presentation, honestly, I was never that nervous before. We did not even have time to memorise what was in the slides. So we just read what was being flashed on the board.

After every team presented, the facilitator will showed us 6th Presentation which they keep stressing, this is not the answers slides but to actually summarized what was to be covered in today's lesson. It can be used as notes for our Understanding Test (UT) which will be conducted after every 5 lessons of each modules.

Sad to say, he told us that he will be away the whole May and will only be back just in time for our 2nd UT. Which made me even more sad.

Oh yes, he made us each intro ourselves and state whether we like or dislike Science. I find that he is very patience and very great facilitator. He will make sure we all have the same understanding and will never felt tedious to keep explaining the concept to us. Thanks faci. :D

Lesson day 2, getting more and more on time. Today is Mathematics. Her name is Mariam Thng. We thought she will be a very good facilitator also.

But when she started to conduct the problem statement, she like monotone machine. When we wanted to ask her questions, she keep asking us to try but never tell us what went wrong.

Being the oldest and was very lagging in learning new things, it took me whole day to actually understand what I am going to learn today. Let alone to actually do a very good presentation.
Thanks to the rest of the team mates who helped me through and we managed to get not bad grades.

Today is day 3 lesson 1, it is Introduction to Communication, facilitator is Mrs Bala, but she also allow us to call her Mrs B.

She begin the class by asking us to introduce ourselves and say 3 facts about ourselves. Since it was 3rd day, so we aren't that strangers as like first day. We started to mingle around and talk to each other.

We also worked together as a team but still will find not very used to working as a team and to do presentation.

Personally, I felt, she is very interesting facilitator. She do not like us to call her faci, as she say it sounded like faeces. Isn't that funny?

If you think first day no problem to solve, than you are wrong. But the first problem was what we actually saw on the orientation day when we all were asked to report to the class. But I long had forgotten what was written in the 6P.

Though we struggle to actually completing the slides and did a very humourous presentation, but we still able to score well. I bet we can do better next round. Gambatte!

Its THURSDAY! In blink of an eye, four days over! Trying to get used to school life after being a woking adults for 7 years. I need to actually worked very hard to catch up what I had lost.

Today's lesson is Organisational Behaviour. This facilitator is sick. Why do I say that? He is the only one who does not give us first break and dragged us till lunch break than release us.

His reason was, worried we cannot finished the worksheet. Then complaint why we all think slow and being so quiet. I mean, come on lah, no food how to think well and work fast?

Hence, he wasn't well-liked by most of us. The sad thing was, we unable to vote to change facilitator.

Since its our first time doing presentation on the Big 5, so I flunked and luckily it did not bring down my team's grade. How can we able to survive through 15 lessons with him? Wish us good luck!

Finally ITS FRIDAY! Woohooo~~~ Getting more and more tedious in doing presentation. I am feeling more and more that I am really stoopid.

Its Problem Solving module. I know I did very badly and pulled down the grades of the rest of the team. I will strive hard to meet all your expectation next week. Thanks for being so patience to me. Thanks also for accepting me as who I am.
