Denise's Reflection

Right.. This reflection is overdue. Thank god its not an assignment which is to be graded.. *phew* So, like always, another day has passed. And as usual I've learned new things...

The day started out with the s-l, S-l, s-L, S-L sharing. Initially, the teachers nearly gave me quite scare as they hinted to us that they wanted a debate-style sharing. (I absolutely detest debates!) But luckily, it didn't really turn out to be one. From here, i got to know the members better: attitude wise, and character wise. This little sharing session also comforted me in a sense that at least i wasn't the only one who thought that we as amateurs building the road would be more of a hindrance than help to the people there. This thought of course leads to more questions which may trigger problems and doubts between both parties.

Next up was the introduction on the different layers of a photo which of course is similar to all objects. We were being taught to read beneath the surface and not just look and appreciate the object's physical properties. The practical portion of this activity is probably one my favorite throughout this day. Snapping pictures of people being happy/contented is not as easy as it seems. Apparently, stealth, fast reaction and flexibility is much required. Basically, much skill is needed.

The picture i took was suppose to compromise of a man smiling happily at his wife. Yet, due to my lack of skill, he noticed me and the picture turned out to be one compromising of a shock man, thus leading me to chose the word hilarious as an adjective of my picture therefore leading to the biggest problem and challenge for the day - to find an artifact in ACM which can relate to the word hilarious.

Great i thought.. I'm so dead...

So in the end, after much struggle, i managed to find a trick cup/bowl, one that is unable to be filled more than 3/4 full due to a hole somewhere which i can't locate, to relate to the word hilarious. Lucky.

Overall, it has been a very fruitful and fun day with the additional exposure to Islam and Buddhism, and espically with the job in finding an artifact which can relate and represent the word hilarious.
