Reflection (Cheng Ker Mei)

Name:  Cheng Ker Mei CIB180015

A. Planning Phase
Most of us do not know each of us when the first time we meet. We are really fresh and do not know what is going on in this subject (Social Engagement). The first time we met with Dr. Mozard after we classified by faculty. Dr. Mozard explained with us what we need to do in this project and showed us some previous year example for us. After that, we got little info and know what to do. We having another meeting and planning where to go and what activities to do.

1. Deciding where to go:
All of the group member feel like awkward and shy during the meeting. But after the first two meeting, some of the member try to give suggestion of where to go for our project. We try to contact several orphanages and nursing homes. Lastly, we get the permission from Home For The Angels, Broga. Hence, our project journey start.

2. Planning activities and flows: 
We planned many activities such as games to play with the angels, experiment to attract the angels' attention, and also zumba to exercise with the angels. Our group members had carried out the experiment, buy all the material to use in experiments and games, and practice the zumba dance. All the preparation work is to ensure all the activities can go smoothly during the actual day. We have two cars which is rent from car rental company and also one from our group member. Due to the insufficient of car, our group member divide into two group which one of the group is go by Mrt and another one by car. Our group leader also assigned different mission to group members. All of us clear with own mission.

B. Implementation Phase

First day: 
6.30am 
We depart by car and I'm one of the driver. We having our simple breakfast in the car to kick start a brand new day. All of us very excited. After around 1 hour, we reached.

9.00am
After we reached, the first impression for me to Home of Angels is the place was really wonderful! This is because the air is very fresh without and pollution. Although there is no service for our phone at there, but finally we got chance to put down our phone and enjoy the everything surrounding us.
The first thing we do after we reached there was helping the cleaner(auntie) to clean all the rooms, hall and toilet. Then we continued with the ice breaking games after all of our members reached. After ice breaking games, I continued with the cleaning progress with some of the group member.

12.00pm
We having our delicious vegetarian lunch at the canteen which prepare by the chef(uncle) and 4 of our group members. All of us enjoyed with our meal and feel full with satisfaction.

1.30pm
After the lunch, my group members(PIC) and I started to prepare the chinese dessert which called "tang yuan" served with the syrup. We mixed the flour with water and make it to become a ball shape. We prepare the "tang yuan" with the angels. I learned the something that how to cook a delicious syrup from uncle, its a really good experience to learn with uncle. All of the angels, group members and the staffs enjoy the teatime very much.

7.00pm
The angels asked for watching movie before going to sleep (9pm), because it is weekend and they usually like to watch movie during weekend. So we cancel the activities we planned and watch movie with them.

8.30pm
They angels' room black out at night and we help them to set up the standing fan and persuade them to sleep early because they need to wake up early in the morning on the next day. All of them sleep at 9.30pm. After make sure all of them already sleep, we also go back to our room and take a rest.

Second day: 
7.30am
We charge our energy full and start our new day again. We are having our breakfast which is "Pao" and milk tea. Then I also help uncle to prepare the lunch. Because every Sunday is the day that they allow outsiders to come in and having a vegetarian food for charity purpose. So we cooked more for lunch. I get more cooking skill and also recipe from uncle again. After that, we having our lunch happily. We also served the angels with ice cream as their dessert. It is a interesting dessert due to the hot weather. All of them praise to us and hope we can always come to visit them.

3.00pm
Now is the experiment time which conducted by my group members. I helped my group members to assisted the angels because most of them are excited with the experiments.

6.00pm
We having our dinner and almost feel tired but it is worth for us. I never get experiences like this before.

7.00pm
I started sent part of my group members to MRT station before it goes too dark because I need to come back again and fetch the second batch of my group members and go back directly to UM.

Evaluation Phase
Social Engagement give me chance to experience the things that we seldom met. I feel appreciate because born with a full love and care from family members. The angels still optimistic although they born out with not a really complete family. That is why Social Engagement give us chance to lend our helping hand to them and give us alert that there is still many unfortunately people in this world. We should precious what we have and try to help the people who need the help.

In conclusion, I felt very grateful to have the effective and presentable group members to conduct our project successfully in this time. Without them, the project cannot done completely. And also thanks to Dr. Mozard who is always helping us and support us when we face any problem.Thanks for everything.
