Time:     8.00am -3.00pm

Venue: SMK Pengkalan Aur, Taiping, PERAK

Last week, we went to SMK Pengkalan Aur, Taiping and we had our workshop with the Form 5 students. We aimed to give a talk about motivation and how to prepare on post-SPM condition. Although we had a few obstacles going there (like stuck inside traffic congestion, lost a few ways) but we still managed to arrive there safely. (Thank God for that)

The motivational talk was given by Tuan Haji Jalil Abdullah, our beloved counsellor in UTP; we were thrilled to have him in one of our slot. It is more on how to succeed and to believe in one’s ability to move forward. Later we had a few games to develop communication, leadership and teamwork skills among the students. One of the few games is to list out the “Function-of-a-Door”. During this session, we were amazed on how many possible things that came from these students. Some are possible, natural, and some are unique and rather peculiar, but still plausible.

To end our session with them, we had sharing session for the students to ask question about what they wanted to know as well as what they will expect after SPM. Around 3.00pm, the session had finished and we had a really, really wonderful lunch served by the school. And by the way, we had a very good time there and much was amazed on how the school work. They had a café organized by the students in which they will manage and serve food as a restaurant would. ^^

A bit reluctant to leave, but we had to. I think most of us had a great time there sharing what we had and we thank all the members and person who made this event successful. Thank you!
