Reflection 2 -- SEM 2 -- Adi Syachrin

 Second reflection of the second semester and man... why is this so frustrating for no reason?

I recall just in my very last reflection I spoke on how this topic is relatively fun and I'm hoping to expand more on my presentation skills with this. However, after that second presentation, I realize how difficult it actually is to deliver a more engaging presentation. In all seriousness, I'm positive that the reason why my presentation ended up being as sub-par as it was is because I tried fitting more information than last time just because our presentation time was extended by 2 minutes and that caused me to over-explain way too many things. I once again rushed my presentation which caused this lapse in my progress.

However, I was pretty pleased at the fact that Miss seemed to prefer this second presentation more since I included the extra game at the end that would help engage my audience even more. I mostly liked how that game also just made it even more fun for me to present, although my time exceeded double our limit and I presented for ten minutes... sigh,

The inclusion of more pictures also made my presentation more appealing.

Right now, I just need to prioritize cutting out the things that I'm definitely pushing in my presentations. Miss advised to everyone to practice our presentations which should be obvious but IN MY DEFENSE, I spent my last weekend in Tagaytay and I spent the subsequent days catching up on my work. It's alllll excuses though so I'll shut up now.

I can make time this time to practice more and actually watch the videos that Miss posted. On top of practice, I think I'll focus on refining the slides themselves and think of creative ways to add on the engagement.

I think I'll bring real flowers to school for the next presentation for a live-show of some sort. Or I can also incorporate it into my games again. We'll see after I redo the presentation!

Anyways, that's all I have for this week's reflection. 

Thank you for reading!

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...

  December 11, 2024 - Hurdle Defeats us Starting off a game never knowing it will defeat us is truly the most humbling experience in AEP. And in this case, it was Hurdle. Everyone thinks it’s over, but it always comes back to us. It’s truly a battle, a battle between choosing which letters were correct and the placement of it. It was quite humbling to see at the end how blind we were during the game. We did a worksheet that included a graph and filled in the blanks. Other than that, we all recited one detail about a different graph and also read example answers. It wasn’t too difficult or anything like that since I adapted to doing these types of activities. January 8, 2025 - Defeated once again Once again, Hurdle returns to us. But it was quite different, it was somewhat similar to wordle, but you do it multiple times in a row until you lose. To our surprise, we lost after three games. It was quite devastating but oh well. In our worksheets, it included how to describ...
