Arya V - Blog #2

It's weird how it's 2025 already, I feel like last year went too fast. Anyways, in almost all the days I'm writing about, we played Scrabble.

December 5, 2024
We started with seatwork about prepositions. I was doing fine at the start, but I struggled a bit in the end, even though it was multiple choice. Somehow, I feel like my knowledge about prepositions is both good and bad at the same time. In the next period, we played Scrabble with a snack prize. Scarlet, who was my teammate, really wanted it. Unfortunately, my mind told me we definitely weren't winning anytime soon. I didn't want to let Scarlet down, but it seemed like she knew we were losing too. In the end, we made a slight comeback, but only climbed to 2nd place, with Busra & Sayo winning. We shared the prize anyway  :). (Also, Ms Disa posted a picture of us playing Scrabble on google classroom)

Jia saw the picture that Ms posted, and was sad about missing the last AEP Scrabble day, and Ms Disa let us play it. This was our first time playing "Speedy Scrabble", and our last AEP of 2024. I enjoyed it a lot more than the usual Scrabble we played. After a while, it gets tedious to wait 10 minutes for another team to choose a word. This time, each team had 3 minutes for their turn, having to shuffle all their letters once their turn is over. Me, Busra & Iskandar vs Sayo, Busra, & Jia, with Muhsin as the scorekeeper. Thankfully, my team kept getting good letters like X, Z, and J. This (and our skills) gave us the win for this day.

This was the first AEP of 2025. We played many word games, and The last one was Contexto, which felt impossible to beat. Eventually, we gave up, and the word was wombat. That not suiting our "clues" left me a bit annoyed. Barely anyone knew what a wombat was anyway. In the second period, we played Speedy Scrabble and it was pretty fun. I felt pretty good while playing, and somehow felt like I was thinking better. This led to the victory being given to Scarlet & I :D. (Sidenote, Ms Disa posted another picture of us playing Scrabble, similar to the first day. Jia reacted again, commenting "NOOOOOOOOO". Oh well :,).

We started with listening activities, then played some word games. In the next period, we read DOGONews about a banana taped to a wall being sold for $6.2 million. Ms Disa made us stand up and spin around anytime she or the current reader said the word 'banana.' First of all, a banana being sold for $6.2 million is outrageous. I am both skeptical on the legitimacy of the story, and the buyer's common sense. Second of all, I didn't know whether I found the "standing up-spin around" amusing & fun or annoying. Maybe a bit of both. At some point, Ms even started to not notice when she said "banana".

Additional thing, the teacher for the Filipinos was absent that day. This made me wonder what AEP would be like if we had a substitute teacher..

    There won't be AEP if I was absent. I would let you play scrabble and everyone wod put strange words because I wouldn't be there to check.

"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...
