One Day before the Language Camp (Aliya)

Salam and hi, people! *bows to everyone *smiles widely

Now let me share about our preparation a day before the Language Camp, which was on Friday.

A day before the camp, I went out with my roommate and game-masters-mate, Arifah to buy the materials for our games. We went to AEON, Taman Universiti. We were lucky because there were promotions and discounts for Year End Sale and Back to School promotion. Therefore, the stationary was a bit cheaper. *WIN!

That evening, we had a final meeting with all committee members. All committee gave updates on their progress. Then, Shafiq, Dzamir and Chang told us about the problem on our event venue. We were all feeling angry towards the other party, but tried to keep our head cool. Because it was only one day before the programme, most would feel stressed. I realized that it was important to be calm in that situation so that other committees would not feel so stressed out, especially the ones having problems. Alhamdulillah the problems were settled after several times of negotiation and discussion.

After the big meeting, the game masters had a final meetup to rehearse our session, especially on the way we give instruction for our games. Even during the rehearsal, we were feeling nervous because we could already imagine how we would be in front of everyone, conducting the game. After all of the game masters are done rehearsing, Sarah highlights on several things that we need to take note of. Then, she wished us good luck. Finally, we went back to our room as night approached.

That night, Arifah and I prepared our materials in our room together. I prepared the mini whiteboard, mahjong paper for the 'money' scoreboard and presentation slides for The Betrayal Game.

The Slides

After that, we rested and got some beauty sleep as we need to use a lot of energy for the camp on the day!

I guess even though your game was played during a rather tiring period, but it was conducted rather smoothly. Well done game master!

When i heard about the problem regarding our event venue, i was really worried and angry at the other party "Who are they to interrupt our programme". But, luckily it solved well. I believe it was just a misunderstanding between both party as well as the the college office.
