Last LMS lesson was pretty interesting and fun. It was actually a test for all of us individually, as a group and as a class.
There were 3 tasks we had to complete in order to “survive” the game. Firstly, we had to find someone within the school compound and sing him/her a birthday song as a group. We find it really amusing because we simply ask the name of the particular person, and started singing birthday song to her. It also attracted the attention of the students in canteen 1 as well, making us the centre of attraction during that period of time.
Secondly, we had to each ask his/ her telephone number from the opposite sex, this should be one of the great challenges to us, especially girls during the game. Being girls, we tend to be rather shy and embarrassed to be the one taking initiative asking for phone numbers, even if it’s for the game objective. However we managed to overcome the internal fear within us, and went on to approach students along the way for phone numbers.
Lastly, for the last part of the game, we had to do something to attract the attention of students on the campus. Hence we did this part together as a class. As some of us got the ideas of attracting students through the videos we watch on youtube regarding the Japanese pranks. Therefore we decided to improvise some of the ideas, and apply it to this game. We tried many times before it actually was successful. Our whole class simply followed this student and tried all means to stand in front as well as the back of him. Then, someone shouted “squat” and every one of us simply squat down with our hands over our heads. The person indeed got a shock and did somewhat the same action as us which is indeed the response of what we wanted to achieve.
From these activities, actually I learnt about the way I can overcome the internal fears within myself, in order to achieve the respective results.
