2. Your progress so far

Going into week 3, this was the week where Mr Sulaiman, had taught me about laptop repairs, both hardware and software wise. This includes swapping the hard disk, upgrading the hard disk drive into solid state drive, reformatting the laptop which includes fresh install of Windows software and installing certain applications including Microsoft Office and also antiviruses

3. Your feelings and thoughts

To be honest, this is the part where I had been excited the most as having the knowledge to able to fix a laptop is much more valuable in comparison to fixing a printer mainly because we use our laptop and computers much more frequently.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

Initially, when I was given the 1500-page handbook, which I had to finish in 3 days, it was impossible for me to be able to finish everything, therefore, I outlined only all the important sections such as functions of computer/printer parts, common problems and the solution to fix it. This allows me to avoid being burnt out and keep me productive as well as able to pay attention to the learning materials

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

Having to commit to the EP session a day is undoubtedly tiring, but however, I was able to adapt and still be able to spend time with my family and friends while also maintaining my daily physical activities.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

If given the chance, after learning about laptop this week, I would love to learn more about desktops and PC and its repairs

2. Your progress so far

In the 3rd week of EP, the teacher taught us to use a wheel to practise yoga. Yoga wheel is a circular pop used to enhance flexibility, improve balance and provide support during various yoga poses and stretches. This was my first-time using equipment to practise yoga. It was challenging to me as using a wheel to practise yoga poses required more balance. It’s essential to start slowly and carefully to prevent falling from the wheel and causing injury. Teacher taught us wheel pose step by step but basically most of the poses are basic yoga posture, but we require to wheel all the time to improve alignment and support our posture. I had learnt low lunge, high lunge, single leg swan balance pose.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

At first, I was nervous when doing yoga posture with the wheel as my body was shaking uncontrollably. Once I got the techniques of using wheel yoga, I found wheel yoga more easy than typical yoga.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

Learning and applying the skill of decision-making in yoga involves a holistic approach that combines physical, mental and ethical aspects of the yoga practice. I believe that those who want to learn yoga, they usually go to search, try to understand what yoga is, then only make the decision to learn yoga. Some yoga lovers even likely began to study the philosophy behind it to make informed decisions in yoga. Next, physical postures of yoga also let us learn decision-making as we need to make choices about which poses to do, how long to hold them and how to do the postures correctly. Besides, meditation as one of the essential parts of yoga can improve decision-making skills by reducing impulsiveness and enhancing better judgement.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

I would spend 2 or 3 days per week participating in yoga class. During my free time, I also take the opportunity to practise yoga on my own. Sometimes, I also like to refer to some videos from YouTube as I found out these videos are useful for beginners too.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

I will go to yoga classes with other props, for example yoga chair and yoga ball. Lastly, I also will join the inside flow class as my last yoga class.

2. Your progress so far
On third week of my elective posting, I learnt about the network connection and wiring. At first, my boss told me that there are several types of wires that looks like network wires, such as RJ15 and RJ45(category 5E). Both of the wires contain eight colours of tiny wires which are dark and light green, dark and light blue, dark and light brown and dark and light orange wires. For RJ15, the wires can only be used to transfer data and files between two computers or laptops because the sequence of the tiny wires only suits to transferring data and files. On the other hand, RJ45 under category 5E which used for network access has different sequence of wires that RJ15. I learnt how to open a wire surface by using a clipping tool. After opening the surface of the wire, the tiny wires will expose outside and we need to arrange the sequence of wires according to your needs whether you want the wires to become network access wires or data transferring wires. If I decided to have a network access wires, I need to put the wires into a RJ45 connector before inserted it into the CPU which also contain another RJ45 connector. Next, I also learnt that IP address in Malaysia starts with 192.168.0 and the last number can be varies each time computer starts. However, there is a settings in the computer that enables the last number to remain the same even you reopen the computer again. And the proxy of the internet will be the same for every time which is 255.255.255.0

3. Your feelings and thoughts
It's quite fun and interesting to know that there are many tiny cables that located in a network wiring. The sequence of wires can determine which type of wires you need to use. Besides, it's quite difficult for me to insert the arranged wires into the RJ45 connector because it needs patience and accuracy in order to insert the wires into the correct holes.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?
As I'm involving myself more in hardware rather than software currently, most of the time involves critical thinking rather than decision making. For example, for a computer that unable to enter the windows, it could be the error of motherboard, power supply, ram or the CPU fan. By doing trial and error to test which parts of computer compartments that causes the problems, we will find the the origin of problems. However, software has more decision making than critical thinking because things like coding programs need to decide which category of program we need before using critical thinking to code.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?
I start my elective posting from Monday to Friday 8am sharp to 5pm. After a hectic day, I will go running at the nearest jogging track. In the weekend, I will play badminton with my dad's friends. Sometimes I will watch videos and listening to music as entertainment.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)
Knowing the excel formula and try to make my own excel sheets.

2. Your progress so far
I have started my third week of training with warm up session as usual. During this week, the coach taught us a few new footworks which is more commonly used during advance playing. After that, I had a one to one session with coach of training smash, left and right netting, forehand and backhand tapping. Each round contains of three sets and we took turn of each set. During the last 30 minutes, I had a 2 vs 1 match with another two players. This purpose of this match is actually the coach wanted us to learn to cover our partner whereby she is a beginner and I had to cover every single part during the match.

3. Your feelings and thoughts
During this week, my leg muscles are really pain as the continuous footwork training. Even until now I can still feel some pain. However, I think this is good and normal for me as this means the training works. For the double match, it is really important to back up your partner and comminucation plays a very vital role to improve the chemistry between you and your partner.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?
Every single shot during a match or even just normal playing requires a wise decision making skill. We have to think where we want to hit the shuttle to and especially during defending. It is no just a back and forth hitting between two players.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?
I actually doing a part time job during this two months of holidays.  I finished my job at 6.30 p.m while my training sessions are in evening at 7.30 p.m. It is quite tired already after the job so I planned my time my sleeping earlier, eat healthier to ensure I am more energetic.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)
Improve both forehand and backhand smash. Learn more advance skills and make use of them during the match.

2. Your progress so far

I learnt the practical significance of what the settings in my camera really mean and how they can impact the final outcome, allowing me to customize it according to the situations and my preference in photography. In term of setting up a camera before taking photograph, I learnt about the image file types, aspect sizes, focus, ISO, metering, AWB, exposure modes, shutter speed which are all very necessary to produce a high quality photograph.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

I am getting more excited and picked up my interest more in taking more photographs from this week learning. It is not easy to learn those camera settings and concepts without hands on guidance from a professional, but I believe I can achieve my goals in photography by putting more effort in practice.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

Photography is not just about taking pictures like as easy as it seems and that’s it. It required a lot of decision making skills when we came across a worth photo-taking scene, we need to decide the angle, the objects, the focus, the exposure, the framing, the overall outcome and etc. I believe that throughout the progress of learning photography, I will get to learn and practice my decision making skills even more and enhance my critical thinking when taking photography.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

I will plan out my day so that I will have a time slot for my photography learning even though I have part time job to do. Since I learn it online, I have an easier access when it comes to learning without any time hindrance. Through perseverance and passion, I am able to cope with the time so that I finished all the provided learning material every week.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

I will learn about the picture decisions which includes the vantage point and frames. These elements are essential choices that must be made by photographers so the photographs are unique and can have dramatic effect.

2. Your progress so far
I have been doing great during each teaching sessions with the children. They have improved so much from time to time. This week focused more on learning swimming strokes as they are now capable of basic skills of swimming which includes floating, streamline and water confidence. The first stroke I taught the children was freestyle. It was difficult at first as they were struggling to apply both flutter kick and breathing technique at the same time. However, after few sessions, they managed to master it due to practices and being consistent.

3. Your feelings and thoughts
I felt happy and relieved as the children have gained more knowledge and they have developed the ability to swim in accordance to the main goal of this project. I really hope that the children can learn much more in order for them to be able to swim in a long distance, and developed endurance in the future. As this will indicates that they have the capability that they think they could not reach as a kid. They should also believed that they can swim better than before.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?
During this project, I was being told by my head coach, to participate in the Bronze Medal qualification programme, which requires me to swim 500m in less than 20mins. I was really hesitant at first because it has been a long time since I swim in long distance. However taking into consideration that I will be teaching kids on how to swim, this could be a great example for the kids. Moreover, it can also gives me more confidence to teach the kids to swim. Thus, after thinking about all the advantages i could get by joining this programme, I have decided to take part and gain the Bronze Medal certificate.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?
Honestly, the schedule for a week is quite packed. It has been very hectic for me. At first, I struggle with time management as I was always late to classes, until I was advised by my head coach to stick to the timing properly. It took me 1 hour to get to the class from my home, thus to solve the problem, I decided to stay a little closer by renting a house nearby the swimming class venue.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)
I’ll be joining a swimming event, an open water swimming which takes place at Port Dickson.

2. Your progress so far
I have mastered several techniques, including netting and dropping. However, my skills in smashing and defense are still lacking, indicating the need for more focused training. With determination, I aim to enhance these aspects. Notably, my footwork has significantly improved after each session, while my stamina has also increased, allowing me to endure longer without succumbing to fatigue quickly.

3. Your feelings and thoughts
After the badminton session, I'm feeling a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction. Pushing myself to improve my techniques, particularly in areas like smashing and defense, was both challenging and rewarding. Despite some frustration over my shortcomings, I'm fueled by the progress I'm making in terms of footwork and stamina.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?
I learned decision-making in badminton by watching experienced players and considering game situations. With practice, I got better at making quick and smart choices during matches, which improved my overall gameplay and strategic thinking.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?
I efficiently managed my time during badminton training by setting a consistent schedule that balanced practice sessions, rest, and other commitments. Prioritizing focused training, recovery periods, and reviewing my progress allowed me to make steady improvements while maintaining a healthy routine.
6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)
To improve my smashing and defense, as well as enhance my decision-making during matches.

2. Your progress so far

As of week 3, I have completed the third stage of my scuba journey - First Response Training International. This course consists of oxygen administration and adult & child emergency care training. This course in particular is important as it trains me to become a better and well-informed Rescue Diver next week. The knowledge and skills I’ve learned this week will be applied together with the Rescue Diver skills I’ll be learning later on. I have attended classroom sessions, workshops, read the student manuals and finished up my workbook. Progress has been good thus far.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

This week has been pretty chill, mainly because the course I’m taking is closely related to the medical field. I’ve learned some of the topics before, namely CPR, 1st Aid, PPEs and medical conditions like hypothermia, spinal injuries, shock and allergic reactions. It’s refreshing to see the things I’ve learned in medical school come into play in scuba diving.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

Scuba diving and decision making are closely related. Dive plans which include entry & exit points, diving routes, dive time, safety stops and surface intervals all require decision making to ensure safe dives. Additionally, in the case of emergencies, I, myself as a diver, need to decide on the best rescue plan based on the situation. All of these decision making in scuba diving requires 1 important component - knowledge. Without prior knowledge, I would not be able to decide on dive plans and emergency plans. Hence, aside from all the diving, I have also been doing a ton of reading to absorb as much information as I can on all-things scuba. I have been provided with 5 manuals, all of which I have completed reading. Thus, with the scuba information I’ve gained and applying critical thinking as I go along, I have learned to apply the skill of decision making in my scuba journey. Good decision making ensures safety in diving.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

Prior to beginning my scuba courses, I have discussed with my instructor on my schedule, which included the classroom sessions, in-water training and experience dives. After agreeing on the proposed dates, my instructor provided me with the finalized schedule which included the date and time for each course. All there is left to do is for me to follow the schedule. I have also set aside time every night to do my manual readings and workbooks. Hence, I had little to no problem managing my time for the past three weeks.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

Next week, I’ll be taking the Rescue Diver course and my last two experience dives. Hence, as per usual, I’ll be attending classroom sessions, several in-water training and an evaluation on the last day where I’ll be given a full rescue scenario. Last but not least, to enjoy my last two dives for now!

My progress so far

I mastered freestyle stroke! My coach asked me to use everything possible for my improvement; from using board, to noodle, and to swimming fins. She corrected my arm movement as I was using the wrong technique all these while, that’s why it took me extra effort to coordinate the movements. I can do side-breathing confidently too now!

My feelings and thoughts

I am very delighted! At that very moment I can swim freestyle stroke without using training aids, I am so grateful and excited that I finally mastered the stroke. I also realised that my fear to do side-breathing was also one of the factors I couldn’t proceed to swim without aids. I was afraid that I may inhale and choke water. Once I gathered up my courage to do at least once, the next steps become easier. I am looking forward for next sessions 😁

How did I learn and apply the skill of decision making in my EP journey?

Through swimming, almost all the time I need to make decision. When to bubble, when to kick, when to paddle and the list goes on. Specification for freestyle stroke, I need to decide when to complete one stroke (one right and one left), how many kicks it takes before I proceed with the hand movement, when I need to breathe in order to have an effective swimming.

How did I manage my time throughout this EP journey?

My classes are held in the morning at agreed date and time. It’s flexible based on our schedule. I need to travel an hour journey from my house to the swimming class. So on those days, I went out early to reach on time. On days with no class, I went swimming on my own for practice. In the evening, I usually went for a jog or cycling around to improve my stamina for swimming.

My plan for next week (Week 4)

Keep practicing freestyle stroke

Learn breast stroke

2. Your progress so far

After 3 weeks of working, I had gradually adapted to the working environment and became more familiar with plants. Throughout this week, I learned about some pests that could damage plants and cause stunted plant growth such as aphids, mites, and thrips. Non-chemical management tools that could be used include using a stream of water to remove the insects, wiping the pests off, or picking pests off the plants by hand. While for chemical management tools, pesticide could be used. Other than that, I also learned about some common problems in plant care such as infection (bacterial and fungal), brown leaf tips (caused by chemical burn from overapplication of pesticides or fertilizer, too low temperature, dry soil for extended period of time), and weak growth (caused by incorrect lighting, root system is damaged from being kept too wet). In between the week, I also needed to serve the customer, answer their question about the plant care and recommend them plants based on their preferences.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

I was nervous when I was told to serve the customer starting this week. I was scared if I was not well prepared and gave wrong information about the plants’ characteristics to customers. It would be even worse if I gave wrong information about plant care to customers. Undoubtedly, it would ruin the company’s reputation. Fortunately, I felt happy and relieved because I did not make any mistakes throughout the week.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

As I was dealing with the customers, I needed to apply the skill of decision making when recommending plants according to their request. Sometimes, they did not have any preference and they chose the plant on the spot due to the plants’ beauty, and I needed to explain the plant care requirement to them. Besides, some customers liked the plants but were hesitant to buy due the unpleasant price, so I needed to decide whether to just lower the price or recommend them to buy other plants with similar characteristics but with a cheaper price.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

Although I stayed near my workplace, I still needed to wake up early to make sure I was mentally and physically prepared for the upcoming unexpected challenges. To add on, I also needed to spend time revising the knowledge I gained in the morning before going to work and in the night after all the work was done. To improve my knowledge about plants, I spent most of my time taking notes when my supervisor was explaining, searching on the internet, and hand-on practice.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

I would like to learn more about plants and landscape design. For that reason, I would like to join my supervisor when he was doing landscape design using plants and bonsai.

2. Your progress so far

In the third week, the excitement grew as I stepped into the ring for controlled sparring sessions with my partners. These simulated real-world scenarios challenged my ability to apply the techniques I had learned in a dynamic environment. Sparring not only enhanced my boxing skills but also taught me valuable lessons about timing, distance, and reading my opponents.

My trainer played a crucial role during the sparring sessions, offering constructive feedback and encouraging me to explore my strengths and weaknesses. This feedback motivated me to work harder and improve continuously.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

Sparring is a whole lot harder especially trying to implement what i’ve learnt during pad works and punching bag drills. Getting hit in the head once resets your thought process for a second and you have to get back in the game asap. Although I do find it thrilling and full of excitement.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?

Boxing is a sport full of muscle memory rather than decision making. A lot of the decision making comes before the sparring. What kind of stance to use, whether to be more aggressive or defensive, how far to keep your distance based on your opponent’s reach and so on. From learning the basics of boxing, i havent come to making these decisions yet but i do know the tip of the iceberg when it comes to it.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

I’ve been managing my time quite well so far since the classes only takes 1 hour per day. If anything, this EP has helped me enhance my time management skills since i know I have to attend my boxing classes hence me fitting in my other activities during other times of the day.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)

To work more on my defence such as feinting and guarding.

2. Your progress so far
After 3 weeks of Elective Posting, I have gradually adapted to the operation of the studio, and I have become more and more familiar with plants. Finally, I have the opportunity to hold a workshop by myself. workshop will be divided into 3 parts. In the first part, the customer will be acknowledged with the history and background information of kokedama. Followed by the preparation of kokedama and the last part will focus on the wrapping technique. Throughout the workshop, I guided the customer on how to shape their Kokedama into a sphere shape.

3. Your feelings and thoughts
The night before the workshop, I was very nervous because it was my first workshop. Fortunately, I have practiced it a few times before, which made everything go smoothly during the workshop. At the end, the customers were very happy, and I also had a great sense of accomplishment.

4. How did you learn and apply the skill of decision making in your EP journey?
Before the workshop starts, I need to let the customers choose the type of plants and colour of threads they like. They will find it very difficult to make a choice because they didn't know the background of plant and plant care. So my supervisor will teach me to introduce some suitable plants to the customers, so that they can make better decisions. At the same time, I also learned to make my own decisions, based on the preferences of the customers, deciding what plants are suitable for them and what color thread is suitable for that plant to make a perfect beautiful kokedama.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?
Throughout this EP journey, I have become more disciplined. My dormitory is far away from my work place. In order to avoid being late due to traffic jams, I need to get up early and go to the studio early. Sometimes because of the weather changes, I also need to change my itinerary at any time, because rainy days will also cause traffic jams. When I go to work, I will also finish my work as soon as possible, and don't leave the work until the next day. If it is still not in a hurry to finish, then I will choose to work overtime in the studio and try to finish the work as much as possible, not only with high efficiency but also with perfection.

6. Your plan for next week (Week 4)
I wish to learn more about the plant in the studio especially the plant care to give the best recommendations to the customers according to their needs.
