UFS 201 - 5th Reflection
It's been the 7th week of English class. Almost comes to the end of English class for this semester. Well, there were still no Grammar test for today's class due to some technician problem according to Madam Atee so we just proceed to the ghost story telling presentation. As the lucky number 1 group, we all had planned on how to present the ghost story telling smoothly but when it comes to the real one, things went not that smooth according to what we've planned earlier. It's a normal thing when you started to get panic and nervous when you're in front of the audience, same goes to me and my group members. We did a little mistake during the presentation but still we manage to cover it up. Well done to all of my group members ( Mary Jane-the group leader, Latiah, Aileen & Dzulnisham ) Proud to have you guys as a team :) So, 1 heavy presentation has down, 2 more to go- the Awareness Commercial and Twisted Fairy Tales Musical Comedy. Hopefully we can still maintain our good cooperation in order to achieve the best result. All the best guys! Well, I guess this will be my last reflection so, I hope I can score good marks for this subject same like my previous English subjects. :) Bye for now!

UFS 201 - 4th Reflection
It's been the 6th week I entered the English class. So, for this 6th class that I've joined in, it was totally differ from the previous classes. This week class, we were only copying notes, notes and notes from our lecturer. No classroom activity. Only copying notes. To be honest, I don't like copying notes because it makes me feel sleepy. But still, I understand the reason why our lecturer told us to do so. Since we all didn't have much time to finish all the chapters, so our lecturer, Madam Atee has to speed up in order to cover all the chapters as soon as possible and Alhamdulilah, we did manage to finish it. Next week classes will only be the grammar test and our ghost story telling presentation. I better get ready from now. Till then.

UFS 201 - 2nd Reflection
Today was the 4th week of English class, supposed to be the ghost story telling week but I didn't make it to join the class because on that same day we were having our fashion show rehearsal. Since Madam Atee has given me the permission to write about our fashion show rehearsal things, so, let's get started, shall we? :) Well, the fashion show rehearsal was supposed to start at 10 o'clock in the morning but since most of the models were not around, we then have to wait for another 20 minutes. We couldn't make the full rehearsal due to some of the models were not around so we just make the simple one. I was in charge to be the deejay on the fashion show day. I felt lucky because I wasn't been chosen to be one of those backstage crews because I've been that place before. I bet during the rehearsal, the backstage crews were very murky to dress up the models. Well, all I can say is good luck for them for this coming fashion show. Haha! I guess that's all I can shared for today's reflection. Till then.
