Assalamualaikum..

This would be my final post since it is the final week of the semester..

This week’s agenda was…*drum rolls* EDUTECHNOVATION DAY !

The purpose of the event was to showcase every groups’s work and to be graded by our own Dr. Rosseni as the lecturer of this course and Dr. Maslawati as the Tesl coordinator.

Unfortunately only the 3 of us (Izzat, Fiqa, Shahkirah) were present for our presentation since Joanna is on christmas leave and Nurfatehah has a family event to attend. Izzat & Wives (IWF) have presented our final product of our short film..enjoy 🙂

The event went well and everyone had a great day !

That is all from me, thank you for being patient and reading my post since week 1.

Assalamualaikum, till i write again..toodles ~ 😀

Hi guys ! Since there was a public holiday on thursday (11 december 2014) we asked for Dr. Rosseni’s consideration not to have any classes so that we can have our holiday from thursday till sunday. hihihi..due to her kindness it was approved..BUT she has posted an announcement in Facebook that every group must submit their final product. Moreover, after receiving comments from Dr. and our other classmates, we did some improvement from our draft video. ENJOY !

Assalamualaikum 🙂

We do not have class this week but Dr. Rosseni has ask us to complete our video and submit it to her in our FB groups. Izzat & Wives (IWF) has come up to this draft. Btw, this is our poster 🙂

How are you doing guys? it has been 11 week since my first reflection. In this week edition we did have class so we used the opportunity to start filming for the REAL video. I cant say much though, it would be a spoiler right? till then..bye bye bye bye bye 🙂

10 10 10..is that your lucky number?

Hey guys ! its been a week as promised. And…yes the teaser is out. Okay, basically today each group presented their teaser/a tiny part of their videos. Enjoy !

I got goosebumps watching it myself. If you dont then try to watch it at night..ALONE ! just kidding.

Dr. Rosseni commented on our video and she said the sound effects and usage of the “moon” was good. Do wait for the real “short movie” to be release. I guarantee it would be SPOOKY ! I mean AWESOME 😛

**Tooooddlessss**

NO CLASS !!!

Well, we did not have our class today so we decided to do our filming. Wait for the teasers because it is on its way guys !

Week 8 ? Wow we are half way to the end of the semester already. Today we did a short presentation, more like to show on our progress of the video making process. We were given a mahjong paper and marker pens to draw a simple sketch of our work and present it in class. So this is what my group (Izzat & Wives) have done.

Oh did i mention that we were given Nasi Lemak during class? I am not a breakfast person but the food was delicious..well, an empty tummy would never say no right? hahaha. So basically we are done with the story board and looking forward to film it.

Till then, adios amigos 🙂

Hey guys !

In this week’s edition we had our class in Makmal Komputer 2 instead of the usual computer lab. Kak Ana told us to present our best pictures and why we choose it. Next, we need to show the storyline that we have made regarding on the short video. so here it goes..

“Jeu De La Vie”

Embark on a journey with Izzat, Fika, Nurfa and Jo, four UKM students who never knew each other existed, and went about with their daily lives not giving a care to their surroundings and only immersing in their own activites, until the day they got trapped in a black hole and their only hope to exit is held by a board, that they’ve seen many times in movies. How would they react to the board that seems to be their only lifeline and how would they survive being in an enclosed place with complete strangers and only oxygen to live on. And most importantly, how would they fare in this game of life?

Got the goosebumps already?

See you next week ! 😛

Guten Tag !

In week 6^th (17^th October 2014) there was a short photography workshop by our own teslian classmate, Faiz Yusoff. It would cost a lot just to learn on how to learn to take good pictures by knowing what to use, the range and lighting. I was quite lost at first, a bit confused but as time goes by I understand on what Faiz had explained earlier on. He gave use examples and the usage of certain types of the camera function. I knew about the usage of the ISO, to control the amount of light entering the camera. I also learn the function of speed shutter. Another technique that I have learnt is the difference to take pictures in daylight and night time. The skills were to prepare us for our Penang trip. To be honest I was so excited for the trip tonight!

PENANG !

Our trip started with every one of us gather at DECTAR’s compound to wait for the bus around 10.30 pm. We start our journey from UKM to Penang around 11.00pm. It was a long journey so everybody was sleeping through the night.

Just before Subuh (dawn), we safely reached Masjid Negeri Pulau Penang in Georgetown. We had a short break to freshen up and continue with our prayers. After the prayers we took some photos of the Mosque while waiting for the day to come because it was still dark.

We move to Little India around 7am to get ourselves something to eat. Im not a morning person myself so i seldomly take breakfast. But you know, a hungry tummy needs to eat..hihih :3

On our way we were so excited, we sing and laugh and everyone was so cheerful to start their day.

(Let’s start our day with selfies) p/s: we have a #selfiequeen right here. Meet Amirah 😀

OKAY ! its time to eat. I had a simple breakfast, just “roti telur” and “teh tarik”. After breakfast we walked around Little India to take some pictures. I didnt expect Penang to be this hot because the time havent reached 8am and I’m already sweating bullets.

It is my 2nd time coming to Penang, well doesnt my face says my mood? 😛

Couldnt get over selfies, hehehe. This are my groupmates or people call us “Izzat and his Wives”. From the left side is Shahkirah, Fatehah, Joanna and Afiqah.

We continue our journey to Masjid Capital Keling, our first stop of the day.

Care for another Selfie?

Group photo anyone ? 🙂

After we took the group photo, we walked around to take some shoots around the area.

Next we moved to Peranakkan Mansion but the entry fee was expensive so we decided to go to the St. George Anglican Church. As a muslim this is my first time entering such holy place for the Christians. It was a great experience for me. There was this sister who asked me to take off my cap because in churches it is considered rude to wear them.

I took the chance to have my rest under the tree because it was so hot. naahhh I was actually fall asleep because i didnt get enough sleep in the bus hehehe 🙂

After visiting the church we went to Fort Cornwallis. I got the chance to see real cannons and read more about the history here.

after a tiring day and it was almost noon, everyone gather back into the bus and we were discussing on the place to eat. We ate lunch at Nasi Kandar Pelita. After lunch we had our Zuhur prayers. While waiting for the others to complete their prayers, we had our rest in the bus.

Look at how tired we are. Credits to whoever who took this photo. Mind the caption and my double chin. We were on our way to Pantai Feringgi. Sunny Day + Beach = AWESOME !

It was around 5pm that evening, dark clouds started to be visible and I knew it was about to rain. It’s a spoiler because we couldnt be out in the open to take pictures. Everyone moved into the bus and we head back to Georgetown. At the moment we were having second thoughts of going home but “luckily” someone mentioned about Gurney Plaza so instead of going home when it is still early, we decided to go shopping..oh, that would be “window-shopping” for me. Well, everyone is told to have dinner and to go for our maghrib prayers independently. Do you want to know what i got for myself?

TAAAAADAAAAAAA !!!!!! 😀 (friendship bracelets)

It was dinner time. They kept mentioning “Pasemboq” and i was curious to know what that it. So..I was eager to try and have those for dinner. OH MY GOD ! it was soooooo delicious. I even texted my mom to tell her to be jealous of me while im having one of the best foods of my life.

After dinner, everyone return to the bus and by 8pm in the rainy night we headed back to UKM. We had to cancel the night photoshoot due to the weather 😦 On our way home I could not remember much as I was so tired throughout the whole journey. All I remember was we arrived back home in UKM around 2-3am in the morning.

Penang was fun, I didn’t regret on participating in this trip and I hope we would get a chance to do it again..and this is a short video from the trip, ENJOY !

Till then, xoxo :*

The Eid is over and it’s time to come back to reality. In the 5^th week, we had a short briefing for our trip to Penang. We discussed on the places to go and roughly the tentative by Amirul and Syamimi as the project leader. Next, we were told to be to be in groups of 4-5 people and we needed to make a short video, more like a short story. My group mates were Afiqah, Joanna, Fatehah and Shahkirah. We were asked to have a visual on a video project by making the draft of the storyline. As we discuss we were going to use our trip to Penang as the setting of our video shoot.

Till then, ADIOS !
