"suddenly" last day event

hmmm... not bad... the sweetness of tea tarik is pretty good, I like it...After having the breakfast, we start our mini explorace.

Compare to last week, the weather is much more hotter than last week, all of us cannot stand the hotness of the sun, keep on getting the drink to replenish the water loss. Out of our expected, it rained when the activity carry on. We had no choice and we change the last check point to the dining hall. 

Noon, is closing ceremony session. Hmmm... every story must have a climax before going to end. Same as in the real situation, we faced the most unacceptable problem which is the surau suddenly dirty and suddenly need to clean it. This "suddenly" made us suddenly nervous and suddenly need to change the venue of closing ceremony. 

Because of the PA system suddenly broken that day, the closing ceremony underwent without using microphone. If you think that the story will end like this, then u are wrong. During the children performance and their performance need the microphones, suddenly the portable PA system come out. Har!? why are u keep it when our VIP was giving his speech. Fine, this is not the last "suddenly". Then our closing ceremony come to the last part which is giving the present to the children there. Suddenly,the children were full attendance. Har!? No one busy and no one feeling not well. 

 hmmm... what a good suddenly day.

Third day event

I'm still remember the weather is very suitable to undergo sukan aneka. The atmosphere made us fresh and drowsiness all gone.

Same as last week, the children that join our activity is out of our expected. We did prepare 6 sets of game to them, but the number of children only allow us to form 4 groups. Luckily, it did not affect the flow of the games, otherwise we will headache again. Haha

Actually, when I was knowing there were two extra sets of game to play, I almost cannot control my emotional to join the game. Unfortunately, I'm a photographer, my job is to snap the best moment of the activity but not to play. "Not fun at all," I told myself silently. That is only way stop my desire. TT

After that is science slot activity. Honestly, I'm quite worry on the science slot activity, because of the person in charge give me an unsure answer. "Where is your science slot going to held?" I asked because of I need to prepare the venue. "Whatever, here or surau also can." He said. 

Har!? I really cannot accept the answer like this, this give me the impression that u didn't prepare well. However, the science slot still underwent without any big problem, and I really enjoy with playing the washing dish and the dyes.

last day

Last day

At morning ,We gathered at  bioinformatics  building to pack the gifts that were prepared for the closing ceremony. After that we went to the orphanage.

The first activity for that day was explorace. Maizurah and I were in  charge of the forth checkpoint  (sinking coins ) it was fun however most of them were not interested for the quiz  part and they kept playing with the coin .

Unfortunately due to the heavy rain we couldn’t complete the last check point outside so we moved to the hall and we continued our game there .

After that we started to prepare for the closing ceremony I was  in charge with ili and ru shin to hand out  gifts to our vip guests and the girls , I was so glad to be a part of it  . It was the best way to close our program and say goodbye to those angels. It was a great experience for me to be a part of the community . although  I faced many challenges as  an international student but I believe I learnt a lot from this course .hopefully by next time I will be able to communicate smoothly. At the end  I wanna thank  dr arpha and my dear friends for making  this course unforgettable .

Alright back to the point. So it is our last day. After having breakfast, we started our activity with explorace. The games of the explorace were so good as they are so exciting competing each other.

That games have many checkpoints and all of the kids have to complete all checkpoints for winning that explorace. I've been assigned to checkpoint 3 with Pidot. Yeah, As you know when Pidot and me are together, we became extreamly nuts! hahah poor for those kids having a mad facilitator. hahah

Then after break. We prepared and have a rehearsal for the closing ceremony. Me and Pidot are being the formal emcee for that occassion. I feel so proud because, during giving a souvenir for the kids the present are all awesome. Thank God that we can find sponsor and gave more than we expected.

3rd Day Experience @ Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih

Assalamualaikum,
alright right now I will tell you our experience for 3rd day doing activities at that home

In the morning after we having our breakfast of delicious nasi kerabu, we are doing mini games (sukaneka). That mini games have many station. Mostly all the children love the games and I thinks that they are quite competitive too.

Then,after we played that mini games. Our next activities called 'taji ayam' which all the kids have to tie a balloon at one of their legs and they have to step on other player balloon. If your balloon blow out then you will out from the games. All the kids accidently became aggressive to each other. Maybe  they are too excited. Haha to remember it back it is quite funny T_T

After that, we have our break for Zohor and lunch. The program started back at 2 pm. We continued with science slot. Which the most excited activity to them. As we science student maybe we think that it is simple experiment because we already used to do experiment in lab. When we took out our exoeriment apparatus example of measuring cylinder they all look us like we are soooooo amazing.

Its quiete tiring though. But Im satisfied for the children feedback. Its better than a first day. :)

bye..

Last day event

During last day event, there are two main activity sessions which are the explorace and the closing ceremony for this Social Engagement. In the morning, we start to set up the apparatus needed at the dataran. Since we finish set up, we are facing another problem where the children can join our activities are less than our expected. After discussing and waiting, there are almost 20 children who can join with us. Due to this, we start our explorace session. As the activity processing, the weather also turn bad and having a heavy rain later a while. Hence,we change the venue for the explorace to their hall and complete our activity.

For the closing ceremony, we carry out in the hall due to some reasons. The ceremony start after the VIP arrived. Before the ceremony ends, we are giving some goodies bags for the children who join our event. After that, the Social Engagement of Bioinformatics is officially complete.

Although I feel very happy when this event finish but also feeling down because so many days we carry out our event at there and build up a strong bond with those children. Hence, I feel sad and also appreciate that the subject Social Engagement give us an oppurtunity which can explore to the children in the RALK and spend four Sunday with them.

3rd day event

During 3rd day event, i responsible to conduct the simple experiments for the science slot. The experiments suggested were Glowing Milk, Tower Density and another one is Pressure Trick. But at the end, only Glowing Milk and Tower Density are carrying out due to insufficient time. Both two experiments are simple and the children can involved in the experiments with the guiding of facilitators.

Before the activities start, all the children are excited for the activities prepared for them. Maybe due to my mistakes, some of them do not carry out the experiments in the proper ways but some of them were successfully get the result and asking the knowledge behind the experiments. From the two activities, the children are explored to the new experiences which can't learn it in the class.

As a student, we should have open-minded when we meeting somethings new. It is an oppurtunity to learn more new knowledge. So we must always be prepared for facing any problems where it is an chance for us to learn.

An appreciation from Mogana Darshini Ganggayah...

Social Engagement of University Malaya Bioinformatics Leaders 2015 on the 19th & 26th April and 3rd & 10th May! It's really a superb great experience to lead everyone and make our project successful.

Last Day Visit

10th May 2015

Finally, it came. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well -- gastric. T.T
Hmm, here I would like to thanks for those who shown their concern. I felt better after taken the medicine. =)
Even tough I was not comfortable, but I was still very enjoy myself in the last day visit.
It is happy to say that those kids do really enjoyed the activities we had prepared for them. Especially the games and mini explorace which had conducted on the last day. The cooperation that hold in their team and the spirits of they did not care about matter of  'lose or win' was really surprised me.
Next session was followed by closing ceremony. Their performance amazed me.  We gave the kids a goodies bag each with snacks and stationary set inside.
It's time to say goodbye after the closing ceremony. The last Sunday we spent with them. I'll keep these sweet memories in the deepest of my heart. Dear kids, may you could face the challenge in the future with determination and the faith the holds in you.

I'm glad that I could have a chance to communicate with them. Special thanks to Dr. Arpah for her guidance and support. Social Engagement is really a good program with could bring us, undergraduate students and the society together. Through this program, I had give my first try on being a volunteer. Patience and tolerance are very in the process of communicate with them. And the most important, don't take things as granted. We should appreciate on what we have.
Lastly, I would like to thanks to everyone. I really happy that we successfully to work as a team. I would also like take this chance to apologize on any mistakes that I've made. Thanks for the cooperation and tolerance.

Guys, you're the supportive members!

By Ru Shin.

Last Day

From this project, I already learn that we need to show our caring to the children because the children at there maybe lack of love from their parents. Sometime, the children at there maybe will show their negative emotion so we need to show our patient to them and try to communicate with them. I believe that our arrival already bring happiness especially when they were playing the games. I think their soft skill and self-confidence also had improved through some activities. Lastly, I feel very happy because all of us already show our teamwork to make this project successfully. I also appreciate the cooperation from the other.

Last Day

10 May is our final day on Rumah Limahan Kasih. It was much relaxed as compared to the previous days. Without much pressure everyone enjoyed themselves. the game section was fun. It was such a pleasant experience to watch the children enjoyed themselves and forget about wining or losing. Although it was such a pity that I couldn't teach them more about Taekwondo, but since the staff of the rumah didn't like it that much, It's ok.

The closing ceremony was nice too, watching the children performing for us was a wonderful experience. And with the end of the ceremony, it marked the end of our field work on Rumah.
My experience here taught me so many thing. I leaned to be a team- worker while we were planing the whole thing. I also learned to caring and sympathetic while we were on the field work.

I would like to say thanks to Dr. Arpah for her guidance. I would also like to say thanks to my friends who are passionate about their work and tolerate toward each others. It's a honor to work together with you. Finally, I would like to apologize for any mistake I may have made and thanks for tolerant.

It's time to say Goodbye!!

Today, 10/5/2015, was the climax for the Bioinformatic's Social Engagement Project. It was our last day to spend with the children at Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih. It was a fine morning, the weather was so cool and kinda cloudy. We scheduled an explorace in the morning. We set up 6 station where each station will be holding a task for the children to do and it is situated at 6 different places. I was the facilitator for checkpoint 5 with Mogana Darshini. My checkpoint was assigned for Quiz and Puzzles. We gave 5 riddles to each group and the children have to answer all of it correctly to score 5 points. Then, the children were given 5 minutes to build the tallest building with wooden blocks. The blocks shouldn't fall down within the 5 minutes of building it. There will be another 5 marks given out when the group successfully complete the 2nd task. The children were sporting and joyful. They were easy to handle when we are conducting the activity which they prefer.

    The day continues with the official closing ceremony. Few VIP's attended the ceremony and with God's grace we ended our project well. We prepared 5 hampers and 50 goodies bag with tasty snacks and stationery set. The children were happy to get all the gifts. Their happiness is our satisfaction. Throughout this 4 days at Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih was a good memory for me. I realize that students from society have to serve the society, no one else could do. =)

Third visit :)

i have a problem! Why? Because i have to bring the mineral water box. I told maizurah to help me to bring it. After 10 minutes walking, ainna arrived with motorcycle, she pick us and brought us to bioinfo building, then we went to RALK. For this third visit, mini games is the event in the morning and science slot in the evening, i joined the mini games activity and my group win that games. Im very happy with my teammates. Haha, and during the science slot, the children very excited and eager to do experiments. Third day is very happening to me. -Humaira husna

It's time for some fun : 3rd Visit

There is an english proverb which sounds " no work and no play makes Jack as a dull boy". So, it is a mandatory to plan games when it comes with children. As per tentative, this time we scheduled to do mini station game. We set up 6 stations where

Station 1 : Blow the Ping Pong ball

Station 2 : Bring the Ping Pong ball with spoon

Station 3: Blow the balloon till burst it 

Station 4 : Walking 5 at once

Station 5 : Walk with balloons

Station 6 : Tie the blown balloon on ankle and take care of it from bursting

during the play

I realized the children had so much fun. They were so concern to take care of their balloon from bursting. One of the children approach me personally and said she had so much fun with the mini station game. The day continued with hearing test. Each member from each group were given one situation verbally. They were requested to draw out the situation given on a mahjong paper with marker provided. Not bad, all the groups scored 17,16.5,16,14, and 13 marks respectively. The pictures :

The day spent well. Next looking forward for the last big day!

LAST DAY (10th May)

          And the day had came finally. Unfortunately, for this "big day" I was not so well. I had flu which affect my focus that day. During the set up gor the explore race, one of the children asked whether it's our last day and she sound a bit sad. However, we did made the Mini Explore Race successful apart from the sudden rain after a very hot weather. My flu get worse because I forgot to bring my cap.. Urghh.. The Giant Dice game was conducted at Dining Hall because of the rain. The children enjoyed the games.

          The skipped the rehearsal (I took a nap for the medicine to give effect). The Closing was great. Although the food was late prepared (or rather we started earlier then scheduled) for the VIPs. The children loved the goodies bags so much. they put on some show for us during the Closing as a gratitude. 

          I hoped that they gain something from our program and grow to become successful in the future in whatever their undertakings. Last but not least, I felt very relieved  everything is over.

A situation : Firdaus and Ainna getting marry in near future. She wanted to buy a wedding cake which is creative, beautiful and labelled with reasonable price. The children were divided into 6 groups and each group provided with one mahjong paper and three white board marker. As aspected, all the groups came out with exclusive idea together with presentation skills. Each group had one unique characteristics such as group 2 had creative idea, group 1 had well presentation skill while group 4 had developed marketing skills. The pictures:
