Aqilah's Journals



NAME : NUR AQILAH BINTI SHAIK ALAUDIN
MATRIC NUMBER : CIC 150025

DATE               : 27 FEBRUARY 2016
DAY                 : FRIDAY
VENUE            : SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN SRI KELANA

               For this semester finance’s student took the social engagement course. After group discussion, we had decided to cooperate under college buddy programme. Our first activity were at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Kelana. We start our journey at 7 in the morning by grab car. Its only took 20 minutes to arrive from our college. At first, I thought this kind of activity were so boring but I tried to think in positive way.

               When we reached there, we took some picture first for our report. Then, we went to the field of the school where the students had waiting for us. Sincerely, I really love kids. When I saw them I felt so excited and I want to know them more. Even the students are not really normal since they had some health problem, it’s not a big problem for me to be closed with them.

               At first it’s quite hard for me to handle the student because they were hyperactive. However, after a few minutes when I knew their attitude, I can handle the situation and make myself comfortable with situation. Before we start the activity, we make some warm up activity and the student can follow our instruction well.

               After we warm up our body, the student were separated into three groups. Each group will do different activity and after they finished, they will switched with the other group. It’s not easy to make they stay at one places because they really liked to run and go somewhere else. That’s one of the challenge that we have to face.

               All activity that we did took 4 hours to finish it. This activity make me learned that I should be glad that I was born normal. As a human, we need to give some help in many ways to this disability child. I really happy because I can spent my time to make them happy and at the same time this activity a little bit can help them.









DATE               : 4 MARCH 2016
DAY                 : FRIDAY
VENUE            : SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEBANGSAAN KELANA JAYA

             The second activity were held at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kelana Jaya. Like usual, we start our journey at 7 in the morning by grab car. Its only took 20 minutes to arrive from our college. When we reached there, we went straight to the field where the students have waiting for us.

               For this school, I felt awkward because the students are teenagers and the way to handle them different compare to the children. I don’t know how to handle them at first because we need to treat them as a teenager. However, I manage to handle them after I saw how their teachers gave instructions to them.

               In addition, we did the same activity like at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Kelana. This time it’s more easier to handle the students since I have experienced from the first activity. We finished the activity at 12pm. I really enjoy doing this activity even felt tired.


  DATE              : 27 MARCH 2016
  DAY                : SUNDAY
  VENUE           : PJ CAR FREE DAY AT MBPJ

                First of all, the third activity is different from the first and second activity. This is because for the third activity we are helping the buddy club in managed their booth at PJ Car Free Day. We start our journey early in the morning which is at 6.15am. We need to go early because we need to make preparation before the event start.

               The event start around 8am. The organiser do aerobic and Zumba dance as a warm up exercise. For our booth, the buddy club sold button badge and t-shirt. We also make some games such as snake ladders and ‘dam’ games. We also do mural activity where the visitors can colour the pictures in the banner.

               Furthermore, I and two of my friends were given a duty to distribute the survey form to visitors. All the visitors gave cooperation to us and they are very sporting. Last but not least, the activity ended at 1pm and we went back to our college by grab car after we had our lunch together. This activity make me realise that actually there are so many activity organised by government and NGO for disability people. People todays should aware about this kind of activity so that they can give some help to this disability people.


DATE               : 8 APRIL 2016
DAY                 : FRIDAY
VENUE            : SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN SAM YOKE

               At 8 April 2016, we did activity at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sam Yoke. Like usual, we took grab car to go there. This time we did the activity at the basketball court of the school. However, we still did the same activity like the previous school.

               The challenge at this school was the way I need to communicate. This is because they mostly speak Chinese and even their English difficult to understand. To overcome this problem, I try to use body language and speak English slowly so that they can understand what I’m talking about.

                Furthermore, we did three activity. Each activity the students need to run and we record the time. They did three times for one activity. Then we gave them some break about half an hour. After the break, we did light activity such as the student need to stand use one leg only. After that, we took record their height and weight.

               We finished did all the activity at 12pm. Before we back, we took pictures with the students and their teachers. For me, this school quite challenge just because of difficulty in communication. For overall I enjoy with the students and I feel happy when I saw their smile.


DATE               : 6 MAY 2016
DAY                 : FRIDAY
VENUE            : SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN SRI KELANA

               This is our last activity for the social engagement. It was held at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Kelana for the second time. We did different activity from the previous one which are outdoor and indoor activity. For outdoor activity we did two games which transferring water with a sponge and three legged race. The students we separate into three groups for transferring water with a sponge and two groups for three legged race. The students were very excited and happy during the games.

               Next, we did the indoor activity after the break. For indoor activity, we did it in the hall of the school. For the first activity, we gave them magic card and asked them to sketch. The theme of the sketch is ‘mother’s day’ because the students will give the magic card to their mother during mother’s day. Furthermore, we gave them an activity book after they finished the sketch. In the activity book, we asked them to colour based on the instruction given. I saw the students really enjoyed all the activity.

               All the activity that have been held a little bit gave some help to this disability students. In addition, we should do this kind of activity at all of the school in Malaysia. This is because the students need a relaxation activity so that they not stress and feel bored in study.

              For overall five activity that we join, what I get is firstly we should glad for what we have now. This is because there are a lot of people more unlucky compare to us. Next, we can help this disability people in many ways such as support the activity held by government and NGO for this kind of people. Furthermore, we need to treat the disability people same as we treat normal people. Never looking down to them. Everyone has their own speciality. Last but not least, all the activity give a lot of benefit to me and my group. I really hope I can join this kind of activity in the future.
