Let the events begin!!!

     It was Monday evening 31th of October, the players are ready to have the NBA Basketball Tournament organised by one of the group. My team had practiced once just a few days before the tournament. We need to at least practice once since everyone in the group do not have the basic to play basketball. My team even bought a jersey for the tournament and put our numbers at the back of the jersey and mine is always number 7.

     The event start with praying led by Najib and continued with warm up session with zumba dancing led by Najib and Syamsul. It took around 15 minutes to finish the zumba and it was great where Najib and Syamsul give the instruction clearly and everybody manage to zumba well.

     Then, the after a short briefing by the organiser regarding the rules of the game, the first match started between Najib's team and Safwan' team. It was me the one who being the referee for the first game and it was a great experience for me where I learned new things. The first game was won by Najib's team and followed with my team triumph against Iqbal's team.

   Then the event continued with the 3rd and 4th placing match. The game ended with Safwan's won over Iqbal's team and the game ran smoothly. Finally, the final game between Najib's team and my team was on. The game was very tight but Najib's team lead 10-2 in the first half. During the half-time, I encourage my teammates to keep fighting, focus on the game and don't give up easily since they look like respect the opponents to much. Then the second half start and we fought hard and the score was tied at 12-12. It was the final play before the game end and we were attacking. Unfortunately, we did not manage to score and the ball was stolen by opponent and they scored. It was quite devastated when the final whistle was blown right after they scored. But that is the custom of the game, sometimes you have to accept your loss.

     The event was closed with the price giving ceremony. Every team receive their prize as the main purpose of the event is to promote a healthy lifestyle, sportsmanship and work as a team. It was a great event managed by the organizer. Everyone seem enjoy the evening and lastly we had our dinner together. Congratulation to the winner and thank you to the organizer. :)

NDP Projects

     We were tasked to organised activities in order to complete the NDP final project. So, all the 20 students we divided into 4 groups that consist of 5 person per group and every group need to face 3 stages in order to complete the project. 

     The first stage is the planning stage. At this stage, the groups need to discuss and plan what kind of project or event that they are going to organise. Then they need to find out what are the possible the actions need to be taken and the possible consequences of the activities. After that, they need to present their planning to the class. After the discussion, the groups had decided to 4 types of activities which were basketball tournament, going to EnerZ themepark, zoo volunteering and charity by delivering groceries to the needy.

     Next every group need to prepare a paperwork for the event that they are going to organised and present it to Pn. Aiza and the management of Taylor College.  

     To tell the truth, I think it was a good idea from the NDP class to do this kind of project because it would develop skills that cannot be develop theoretically. This skills are such as work as a team, building responsibility, tackling problems and think or act critically since each of the events are different and might have different problems. Besides, I am looking forward for it since I like to organise events to be frank. Let see how it going to work. Hopefully every group could complete their tasks smoothly. :)
