AEP Reflection #3.2 “March chronicles”

 Welcome back to anothah reflection! Alright, the more exclamation points I add.. the larger my misery is. Everyone, this is the specialty of March. Oh hoho.. 


This time in AEP we welcomed a new topic! Now, we are focusing on speech writing. Growing up, the process of speech writing always found its way to my heart. Little by little it ended up being such a great part of my life until this day. Im referring it to so many ways; whether it would be through negotiating for grades, schoolwork, groupwork, team-building activities and debate. 


However, the more and more I practice speech. I realised how I slowly forgot how its like to write a proper speech; considering impromptu speeches were something that came naturally. Its not a skill for someone to brag about, especially if it is something that has been in the making ever since primary school. In fact, I believe its too long for what I have; almost embarrassing. Sometimes, I would question: “Why on earth am I not like my other friends.. who are going to all these fancy speaker places and travelling the world?!”. Comparison is definitely the thief of joy.. but I really can’t help but think about how we started in the same level then now I feel like I am left behind. 


So the fact that we are learning about speech writing, not only reminds me to take a step back.. but for me to remember how important it is to fix your skills before you crumble!


Its ironic, the video is quite old but I also watched the same preachy speech many years back. Its funny how this moment feels like a full circle. Aside from our emoji activity, we haven’t done actual writing yet. So Im looking forward to that in the coming days:)


See you in the next one!

"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...
