Another orientation session is over. This one was extremely tiring as the planning process started much earlier. It was especially tiresome having to think of modules over the phone, especially when Fifah and i seemed to be calling each other at different hours of the day.

Tapi this was also one of the funnest orientations i've been involved in when i look at the aspect of the people i had to work with. Sgtlah suke the fact that most of the facis were staying over at our apartment and the bisingness and hoohaaness and bonding is something i'm going to miss when i stay an extra one week in cyber starting tomorrow.

Certain things we did during this orientation i hope will bear some positive outcomes. I even volunteered to give a taskirah, which was something i never planned tapi it was part challenge for myself/part being forced by other people. I have nothing against giving a taskirah or anything tapi i've never done it for a big group of people.

People keep on telling me i'd have no problem doing it because i've done other forms of public speaking. But the thing is when i'm debating or story-telling or doing a forum, i'm not really expecting to impact the audience that much nor do i really believe much in the words im saying.

So, this time it was much, much different. But i've always felt that if you just stay in your comfort zone, without trying something new, you'll never amount to much, so i did it. I think it went okay...kids actually did come up to me after that to ask me questions on the things i talked about and i got positive feedbacks :)
