week6



Above shows the invitation poster for "The Night Of Phantom" party that organised by international student club.

Yeah...Thats great!!Im the members of international students club.Hence,i had been invited.Let me talk to you all what was happening on that day.In fact,the beggining part of the party was quite bored.Just like the normal party that we attended before,we divided into groups and had ice breaking session.I was grouped as"tear drops" group and our facilitator called gary.He first introduced himself and he is year 2 student from digital & precision engineering.He is my senior because we are taking the same course.After introducing,we had games.I had alot of memories from the game which called passing the rubber band by using straw.This game needs the cooperation from all of us in order to win.We were divided to use different parts of body to pass the rubber band from one to another.I was selected to use forehead to pass the rubber band with one of the girls from my group who called Amelia.I was stunned after i knew.What in my mind at that moment was how to pass the rubber band by using forehead.It seems like doesn,t make sense.After that,our facilitator instructed us about the rules of the game.We were clinched our forehead together just like sandwich and stayed stationary to prevent the rubber band fall down to the groud.It was quite embarrassed during the game.By the way,we all enjoyed the game and it was quite fun.After the games,we had dancing session in the party.This session was something new for me because i have no experience at all for dancing.The committee demonstrated to us before we danced.We then dictated to choose a partner for dancing purpose under the condition such all the lights were switched off.I had choosed my partner who called li ying to dance with me.We had forgotten all the dancing steps and therefore we just simply danced along the music.It was quite romantic and unforgettable night for me.The last part of the party was exchanged the present that all of us had brought.I had exchanged my present with my partner who called li ying.
Lastly,we took photos as memories.

I felt happily because i was given chance to make friends and climb the wall at sport hall.Let me talk about my experience during the rock climbing.

~Monday,i ended the class by 1pm and the training started at 5pm.Therefore,I went to library to finish my homeworks.At 5pm,i went to sport hall .When i entered the sport hall,i saw many unfamiliar peoples that i never seen they before.First,we warmed up our bodies to avoid cracking of bones.After that,the president of adventure club who called Muhaimin gave us a talk about rock climbing.We then devided into smaller groups and had some games.We introduced ourself in a group and i made some friends in the group who called Issac,Suhaida and Tommy.During the games,the president asked us "strenght more important or Technique?".I answered him "Techinique" with explanation.After the games,we started to wear the harness for safety purpose and prepared to climb the wall.I waited and waited.Eventually,someone approached me and asked me whether want to climb the wall or not.I answered him quickly,"yes".Before climbing,the belayer said to me before we climb must say "am i on belayed" to them.If they say "belay on",then we only can start to climb.After that,we also need to say "climbing" when we are willing to climb.When the belayer says"climb on",we only can climb.This is to ensure that we are secured during the climbing.After i said anything,i started to climb.At the beginning,i was climbed quickly and its succeeded.However,i was failed to climb higher because i found that i had no more energy.I realized that i had used the wrong technique for climbing.

~Wednesday,this was the second day for training.The training started at 3.30pm.We warmed up as usually but something special was jogging had added in this session.We jogged around the school and i discovered that the distance from one end point to another in Nanyang Polytechnic was so long.After jogged,we entered the sport hall and started for training.Firstly,we learned the ways to wear harness correctly.Secondly,we learned about how to tighten the string in figure"8" correctly and lastly we learned how to become a belayer.The senior of adventure club demonstrated to us,and i tried to absorb what they mentioned.Next,we started to climb.I was the third one to climb.This time i used the technique that my senior taught me which was using both legs and hands to climb.This is because we will find that we have no energy when we just use the energy from hand to climb.I remembered the technique and applied it during climbing.Finally,i was succeeded to climb until the highest point.After training,we were having drinks at canteen.

i found that this club was very joyful because it made my life changed which now i had more friends.The images below show some ways i make friends and my climbing memories.

week 4

Week 4, i was quite busy.This is because i had accumulated my homeworks that given by tutors and lecturers.I tried myself to finish all the tutorial questions at home.Moreover,i prepared the communication skills's presentation that need to present due week 7.This week,i more concerned on my studies.Therefore,i had no time to make friends in school.Instead of make friends in school,i searched internet about the information of"ways to make friends".I discovered that was many informations about "ways to make friends" when i was searching.Eventually,i found that one of the pages was perceivable and readable.I followed and practised myself with those steps.I believed i can make friends as much as possible if i keep following the steps.Here the steps i followed:

*show people that we are interesting.
*show an interest to people.
*watch others.
*be good to our friends.
*do not be changeable.
*go out and meet new people.
*use our eyes.
*plan ahead.

week 3

Hello everyone.Im new blogger here.Im here to write about myself and what matter is going on in the week 3.Let me flesh out how i make friend in this week to you all.First of all,i joined some clubs that organised by Nanyang Polytechnic.This is owing to school is a time when people actively seek out new relationship.I knew that in order to make friends,i need to be more active and socialize.

~Monday,i ended up the class by 12 afternoon.After the class,i felt that i so hungry.Therefore,i invited some of them from D1,D2 and D3 to have lunch at south canteen that is located at block P.The time was past very fast when we were chit-chatting while having our lunch.

~Tuesday,i played basketball with my classmates who called Marcus Yap and Shue Ze.The weather was so hot.Therefore,we had cold dessert at koufu after the match.They talked some skills to me in order to be a good basketball player while we were having the dessert.I realized that what they said were right and i promised to them i will practice myself and let them see my improvement in the next match.Lastly,we dated to have a basketball match again at next two weeks.


~Wednesday,i was having lecture for the whole day.The lecture hall was crowded by the students from groups D1,D2 and D3.That day i started the class on 8 in the morning,that was metrology and quality control class.Unfornutely,i was late due to overslept.Therefore,i had no choice to choose the seat.I sat with one of the students from group D1,who called Poh Chun.First,i said "hello" to him and asked him came from where?He answered me that he came from Malaysia.Thats great!!We were came from the same country.He is Hokkianese whereas i am hakka dialect.He taught me some basic phrases such as "how are you" that frequenly used by Hokkianese.As a feedback,i also taught him some Hakka phrases that are frequenly used.


~Thursday,i missed the opportunity to make friends.This is because i was having the full day classes on Thursday.Most of the time i located at R305,which is the laboratory for machining.That day i was very tired.After the class ended,i went back home and slept.


~Friday,i went back to my own country,that is Malaysia.It took around 6 hours for the journey.I slept in the bus.


~Saturday and Sunday,i met my old friends.They all changed a lot because i long time did not meet them already.I shared my experience in Singapore to them.
