1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?
Yes. I had 3 objectives that needed to be fulfilled. Now I am feeling confident to be in kitchen and make people believe I can actually cook or bake after joining this course. I learnt alot through this and had helped me alot in combating my weakness towards cooking.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?
I have always enjoyed cooking and baking as it takes all my sorrows away. I live in a different world during cooking or baking and that really makes me happy. I would always occupy my time without wasting it by trying out new recipes and cant wait to taste it at the end of the day.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)
~It was hard for me to go out and get the ingredients as I was scared to shop during this COVID pandemic. Otherwise, everything else was okay. While cooking or baking, I was always scared of the cooking or baking time as it will affect the quality of the dish. I also need to learn and feel secured while adjusting the intensity of the flame.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)
~I thought cooking was really tough but I was wrong till I tried myself and it wasn’t that difficult . I could actually produce few dishes for a meal to be served.

5. What can be improved in this project?
~My baking skills in frosting or garnishing after cooking to make it look attractive . I need to explore more on some top secret tips to produce an extraordinary dish.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

Yes, all the objectives are fulfilled. Firstly, I managed to learn basic skills in baking pastry and cookies by taking online course in Facebook. Next, I able to do the right technique in baking a bun, korean garlic cheese and cookies even though I need to redo a few times, adding more ingredients to make the dough more soft to shape it (samperit). Lastly, I managed to learn on how to open pastry business in media social, how to attract people, estimation price for each pastry and cookies and many more

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

Throughout this project, I enjoyed doing it every week. Escpecially during baking pastry, it is my first time doing it. At first, the dough didn't rised maybe my technique was wrong. After a second try, I succedeed and able to bake a bun that is soft and fluffy. Then, I continue doing korean garlic cheese. I didn't face any problem doing it and the outcome was delicious, commented by my friends living in the neighbourhood. For baking cookies, I enjoyed the most doing samperit classic. I need to make sure the dough is soft so it is easy to shape it. Unfortunately, the dough was quite hard so I just add on 3 tablespoon of oil and the dough become more soft. So for me week 3 and 4 are the most exciting and fun to do.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

During week 3 and 4, I am ready to bake after learning online during week 1. I started with making chocolate chips. I learnt that the butter need to be in room temperature first so it is easy to mix with sugar. Then, I learnt that the nuts such as almond,hazelnut and walnut need to be roasted in oven first to make it crunchy. One difficult task was learning to adjust the oven temperature. Eventhough the coordinator give a range of temperature and time, each oven works differently, so I need to watch the cookies everytime so it is not overcooked. Next, while doing plain bun, at first try the dough did not rise due to my wrong technique also the measurement is not precise. On second try, the dough rise well and I continue doing korean garlic cheese.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

Yes, at the end of elective   posting, I managed to bake chocolate chips, cluster almond walnut, cheese tart nenas, samperit klasik, plain bun and korean garlic cheese.

5. What can be improved in this project?

For this project, I need to explore more on how to sell this product online, how to make the pastry have a longer expiration date. Then, learning more menu to attract people and lastly learning business skills.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?
I have 3 objectives that I proposed. The first one was to finish 10 levels of language learning. The plan was to start on Level 5 and proceed until Level 10. Unfortunately, I took more time than I thought in revising the basics of Korean from Level 1 to 5. Hence, I was able to complete until Level 7 so far. Each level consists of 30 levels which has a 20 minute average of podcast. Although I couldn't learn all 10 levels, but I am satisfied with the amount of knowledge that I am learning. My second objective is to self introduce for 3 minutes and my third objective is to able to sing a song. I am glad that I fulfilled these objectives.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?
What I liked the most about the project is whenever I completed one lesson and proceed to another lesson, I can understand more Korean day by day. I can even watching some Korean YouTuber's vlog or videos without subtitle. This is something that I have been hoping for since I am into Kpop music.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)
The challenging part was to revise and use Korean frequently. It is very important to keep listening and speaking a language when we are learning it. I have to keep flipping back my notes and revising the grammars daily and watch some Korean YouTubers' videos to make sure that I am listening enough Korean to learn about their intonation. Intonation is very important in Korean language and can only be learn by listening to alot of audios. I have to keep practicing using the grammars so I get familiar to it. Hence, this project requires alot of effort in practicing and not only just learning it.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)
I think the best thing about this whole project is that I found a really great learning platform : Talk To Me In Korean (www.talktomeinkorean.com). Whenever we learn something, it is important to have a competent teacher. I am proud to say that TalkToMeInKorean is indeed a very good platform. They teach Korean in English, which the tutors can speak in fluent English, making it easier for me to understand. Besides, the structuring of the lessons makes everything systematic and definitely helps me in completing this project smoother.

5. What can be improved in this project?
I hoped that the duration of this project can be increased to up to 2 months time so I can practice more and take my time to learn slowly so that I won't be rushing the syllabus. I am currently 22 years old and I am still learning Chinese, English and Malay day by day. I hope I will have more time to learn Korean instead of only 1 month time.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

Yes,the objectives were fulfilled because I am able to learn and understand the basic sign language. By having this knowledge, now I will be able to communicate with the deaf community more easily.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

I enjoyed every topic that I have learned throughout this course because every single thing has its own sign to be expressed in a communication. I really enjoyed in learning this sign language because I am able to start and learn at my own pace and all the videos,quizzes and simple tasks provided in this course really make me understand the signs better.Furthermore,learning this new knowledge really make me understand that communication by signs and face expression are very helpful in having a good communication with the deaf.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

The most challenging part throughout this course is to remember every different sign that I have learned. Without practising and revising it everyday, I might forget certain signs that I know. Other than that,the challenging part is to do the videos that have to be submitted for every topic which is a bit time-consuming for me because I need to submit it first before I can proceed to learn the next topic.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

Watching the provided videos repeatedly really helps me to remember the signs easily.Throughout this entire course,I managed to do hand signs for my own name fastly as I remember all the alphabets really well and practise it daily.

5. What can be improved in this project?

This project can be improved by having experience direct or virtual conversation with the deaf itself and the teachers. For me, having a conversation with them will help me to improve and remember the signs much better so that I can understand and experience how the communication with the deaf would be.

Nor Athirah Najwa Binti Rosli  (A168524), 27 th August 2021

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

The objectives for my elective posting was fulfilled. My aim is to learn new recipes of various types of food such as traditional kuih muih ( kuih apam mekar, kuih keria gula melaka) and I managed to bake some sausage bread. Besides, I managed to give myself an opportunity to grow up my skill and potential in baking and cooking.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

Cooking class was a lot of fun and I personally learned a lot, I learned skills to baking, kneading and more. it’s the skill I’m most proud of learning. I enjoyed baking and cooking very much during elective posting even though sometimes the result turns out not as expected. I learned on the mistake that I make and managed to perform well in other try. And the most important things are I managed to try many recipes (especially kuih muih) that usually I bought from stall.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

As I have mention before, cooking and baking is not simple as we think (especially related to the pastry). It is all about patience and practice, if we fail, then we should review the recipes and learn from mistake and try again cause practice make perfect. During week 2, I managed to make my Kuih Apam Mekar after trying it 3 times (I almost give up). In baking especially, need to follow the recipes accurately, slight changes can affect the result. As beginner, I made many mistake during the proses, but I managed to learn what should I do, what should I avoid.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

Since I’m beginner, I was pretty happy with how my every recipes turned out especially sausage bread. I never thought that I can make my own bread myself in first try. It is very satisfying and enjoyable.

5. What can be improved in this project?

I would like to try more recipes for bread and cake and learn how to decorate the cake. If possible, I would like to make mini recipes book for the recipes that I have a try.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?
Yes, where i can sign basic sign language and understand simple sign language now.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?
I enjoyed learning new things. Learning sign languge has always been my goal so that i can communicate with the Deaf when necessarily. This course structure is simple and clear. Thus, i really learn the whole course very well.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)
The most challenging about the project is i can't really remember all the signs at one go. I need to keep on practicing to remember.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)
This course require us to shoot video of ourself signing sign language and submit to them. They have teachers to check on our homework. I think this step works well to ensure student really focus on the course.

There is no 2 way communiation between students and teachers. I feel that 2 way communication is more effective as we can practice sign language as in real life when talking with the teacher.

1.     Were the objectives of the project fulfilled ?

*WEEK 4:*

Yazuan Shakqeen Bin Yaseri (A167963)

Week 4 : 9th August-15th August

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

Yes, all the objectibes were fulfilled. For past one month, it is all about learning the theory behind baking. I started realizing that by putting the knowledge into practice all the theory started making sense. If you understanding about baking is good, the you are good to go.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

The journey. It has been an interesting journey because i have never felt so calm in learning. As a medical student, everything is so rushed like sometimes i really feel like i have no time to breathe. However, this EP is another story. It was so calming with its steady pace i could absorb new knowledge like a sponge. And sometimes making mistakes during baking process made me more diligent with my choices but also helped me understand the process of baking better.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

To be honest, baking is not always sunshines and rainbows. There are a few times that i failed especially when making the mixture. Sometimes, some recipes need a little bit of “instinct use” for it to come out perfect and that is very challenging for a beginner like me. It took me a while to rethink next steps as i do not want to waste my ingredients.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

To be honest, I started this project with little knowledge. However, learning from online sources has been a significant success to me. Without the help of the online course and recipes from internet, nothing would have been possible.

5. What can be improved in this project?

I think the important part that i can improve is my recipes. I opted for easier recipes since i still have low self confidence and afraid of falling. I wish i had more courage to try out the challenging recipes.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

Yes， I have already understood the principle of account and basic of taxation. Not only that , I were doing practice on handling full set of account for the whole week .

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

The thing that I enjoyed the most is the satisfaction of doing the account correctly and able to balance the working capital of every set of account . This is because I need to pay a lot of attention while doing account ,even a very minor mistake will lead to an unbalance balance sheet.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

As a beginner , one of the things that is to stay focus for a long time while doing accounting . As i am using the traditional way to learn accounting , we need to record a lot of transaction and information by writing .Therefore , it is really tiring to focus for a long time and in the same time , try to avoid any mistake . Another thing that I find it challenging is understanding and counting the concept of depreciation of fixed asset .I found it hard to calculate the depreciation of the fixed asset at first because I didn’t really know the concept of depreciation.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

The thing that worked that is I am able to complete a full set of account with little assistance now and I am very proud .In the beginning , I was doubtful that if I can learn to do account in just two months time and I did it ! This is because my tutor has made everything simple  , so I can understand it well .

5. What can be improved in this project?

Even though I have learned to do a full set account , accounting knowledge is very vast . Therefore , I have to do more self-study in able to know more about accounting .Other than that , if I ever have a chance , I would do an internship in an accounting firm to gain more knowledge and improve practically .

The objective I had planned was fulfilled, in which I was able to learn, practice and spread awareness on Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia. I managed to teach my younger siblings and friends on basic signs.

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?
The part I enjoyed most regarding this project is how simple yet informative and interactive it goes. Taking in the fact that it is about language, communication is key, yet it consist of non-verbal communication. I really enjoyed this portion of the project.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)
The challenge would be in terms of wifi connection to conduct the Skype classes. However, I managed to overcome that hurdle.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)
The part of the project that I thought worked well is the flexibility and ability to learn Bahasa Melayu as a sign language. Not only that, I managed to dive more in the challenges that deaf people have to encounter compared to those who are able-bodied.

5. What can be improved in this project?
I would like to have more classes and interact with other deaf people. If possible, I would also would like to have more revision classes as well as have a published textbook regarding signs.
