[My Contribution]
Before the camp..
5 February 2007
As the head of Facilitators' Manual bureau my duty started after we had our first rehearsal at KTF on 5 February 2007. From the day onwards I kept collecting game plan from each game masters. It was not a simple task because everybody was burdened with other assignments and projects that need to be completed. Moreover some games needed changes after we identified some problems during the first rehearsal.
8 February 2007
Malini and I met Mr.G to discuss about both facilitators and students' manual. Mr. G gave us the sample of the manuals and explained to us what he expected from our bureaus. Mr G also asked me to give him the first draft of facilitators' manual on the first day after Chinese New Year Celebration which is on Wed, 21 Feb. (Need to came back early, pity me huh?!) Then I went to see Salveen and Shereena to divide our tasks. (Thanks for both of you!!).
20 February 2007
Wani gave me the facilitators' manual for Camp A
21 February 2007
As promised I handed in the first draft of the facilitators' manual to Mr.G.
22 February 2007
Besides the formal meeting in the classroom Sulia, Azra, Salveen, Shereena, Malini, Sumitha and I had an informal meeting at my room. We had a discussion on how to do the grouping since there were too many students to cater. We took into consideration the location, the student (passive @ active) as well as the nature of the game itself. We had also changed some of the games' names, i.e: (Speaking Salveen -> The Magic Box).
26 February 2007
We had our 2nd formal meeting. Camp A
6 March 2007
We had our 3rd meeting. The way of grouping the students need to be changed due to some problems (Form 3 & 5 joined later). The manual need some alteration (again!). Thanks s lot Andrew for helping me to edit the final draft of the manual!!
19 March 2007
The manual was distributed to all Camp B
22 & 23 March 2007
2nd and 3rd Rehearsal – I helped the Aisyah & Aishah (material bureau) to prepare the materials.
During the camp..
24 & 25 March 2007
Unforgettable moment with the 'kids'!!!
My other tiny winy contributions:
- Helped Ammani & Grace to treat two sick girls. (Luckily I brought my personal First Aid Kit).
- Lend 5 extension wires to K. Jeya (equipment bureau).
- Ran to all the headquarters to distribute the 'missing' files.
- Became the make up artist for my actresses (the beauty contest in Pak Pandir II)
- Chocolate & candies for the students (they were hungry, pity them uh?)
- Cookies for the fe-c? (yana! hehe).
That's all for the show off time!
With lots of love.. XOXO

My Reflection
On 24th March 2007, the bus came sharp at 6.50 a.m. Being the first person to step into the bus at 6.55 a.m., I had a strong feeling that it was indeed a good start. I believe that all the facilitators were ready both physically and mentally for the 'battle'. Everybody was punctual, the souvenirs, materials and luggages filled the bus' compartment. It seemed like nothing was wrong and everything will be just fine. And it was! Congrats to all..
Well, looking back at the reason why we use games in teaching English language, one of the reasons is to help and encourage many learners to sustain their interest and work. I personally think that we have no doubt about it at all by now. Right friends? Language games really work to foster the students' autonomy to learn and learn and learn and even dream in English.. (when they are too tired with our activities!!)
I really enjoyed all the games especially 'battleship' (congrats kak nabilah), 'treasure hunt' (thanks azma & noni for giving us the chance to listen to all the group cheers), 'happy melodies' (good job,ina! You have chosen the right songs, FINALLY! Hehe..), the morning exercise (well done to all the stars: Fadhli, Malini & Shereena) and not forgetting the Drama presentation! (my 'kids' made it to the final!). The students are gifted, it is such a waste if they do not get the chance to explore their capabilities. The satisfaction came when the students' light were on (I quoted Mr.G). However… I hate it when we need to leave them. It was too short for me. I didn't get enough..i missed them, really. Even until now the students keep sending me sms and asking us to go there again. I'm so touched. It was such a precious memory for me. Thanks a lot Mr.G for all your guidance.
Truly, madly, deeply,
+ izzati +

Hello Zati!
First..Andrew(the so-called royalty), XOXO stands for hugs and kisses, which I don't think you'll be getting any from Zati..haha. Anyway, what la..this is suppose to be about Zati!! Zati girl, like what Ammani said that day in the dorm, we saw a side of you that we had never seen. The usual 'manja' Zati turned into a firm and authoritative person.. it was great! And a very good job in being the head of the manual bureau!
