Mini Report
EXPEDEA'23 is a relaxing and bonding event organized by CGMA for all batches of SECVH (Graphics and Multimedia Software) students. The event was held at Bayu Impian Campsite which is outside UTM. At 7.00 am, we gathered at Dataran Resak KTDI before departure. After all participants arrived, four buses departed from UTM and each bus had a leader to lead the participants in the bus. We arrived at the campsite at about 9.15 am and warmed up together to prepare for the group activities. We were divided into groups randomly which each group consisting of 9 to 10 members from different years. The first activity was dropping a pen tied to the waist into a water bottle. Each group was given ten ropes, a pen and a bottle. Every group member had to follow the instructor's instruction to move their body so that the pen can be dropped into the bottle without seeing the pen. We were successful to put the pen into the bottle with the cooperation of every team member. After that, we had the second activity which was the snatching flag game. There were red flags and yellow flags that represent the two opposing teams. We had to snatch the opposite team's flags and put them into our base. At the same time, we also had to defend our own flag from getting snatched by the opponents. At about 1.30 pm, we had a lunch break. After lunch, the third activity was building sandcastles. We had to brainstorm to design our own sandcastle creatively and the highest sandcastles will win the competition. My group had built a sandcastle in the shape of a mermaid without an upper body and the height of the sandcastle was according to the person who stand behind it while taking a picture. Then, we had the prize-giving and closing ceremony. My group won second place in the building sandcastle competition. Before going back to UTM by bus, we had a beach cleaning session to clean up the rubbish to maintain the cleanliness of the beach.
Self Reflection
After attending EXPEDEA'23, I realized that resting is important for all of us to clear our minds and increase our productivity when there were many assignments and projects. This event improved my communication skills, leadership and teamwork skills in every activity that was conducted in groups. I also got to strengthen my adaptability by adapting and responding to different activities' requirements Through this event, every CGMA member created memories together and our bond became closer.
