CGMA Interactive Day (CID) 2018
It is a traditional event every year that welcoming fresh student of 1SCSV to join CGMA Interactive Day (CID). It was organizes by second year student from Computer Graphics and Multimedia Association (CGMA). This event objectively to introduce what is CGMA and also to strengthen the bond between us with friends and senior. We will knew our second year seniors. It is a necessary programme for us since we do not have so much time to spend together since we were busy with our schedule. The venue was held at Dewan Astana, Kolej Tuanku Cansellor which is about 1.5 km from our college, Kolej Tun Dr Ismail. Since, it is too far the excos already prepare us with buses but we need to assembly at Dataran Resak after dawn, 6.00am. Total of us was 50 persons so we divided into two group then took two buses respectively and the journey took about 10 minutes.
At the venue, we took the attendance and each of us got tiny piece of paper with group name on it then we need to gather into the group accorded with the group name. My teammates were Nurul Aqilah, Fariq Rangkuti, How Kah Hui, Tok Wei Kok and Jasmin Farena. The group names were inspired by mobile games application which was Mobile Legends. My group name was Akai which is a hero with panda figure wore farmer hat and use cane as weapon. Our first task was draw our group’s logo with group’s cheer. By used my creativity, I drew the logo with panda on it and it was held the sign of our group name. After that, we need to present our logo and cheer on the stage. We also were given the trustworthy goods to care and if any of them was damaged or lost, it will affect our group’s scores. Finished with it we assembled back at centre of hall to do the group activity which was to develop our focus and teamwork.
Next, each group given three multimedia tasks to complete and need to present at night. The task was music design, pixel design and meme design also since every group has six members, every two member need to accomplish the task. For me, I took the meme design task. After lunch hour, we all need to go to UTM lake to do the signature activity of CID which was kayak. By took the buses it was eight minutes journey, we arrived at the lake then we have task to take the kayak and life jacket also to find partner since the kayak have two seats. Honestly the kayak was heavier than I thought and my partner and I had to bring it to near the lake. But before we try to kayak, the instructor teaches us about paddling.The paddle has two pads at both end respectively so it was easier to control than the paddle with one pad. For me it was my second experience with kayak so no big deal to handle with it. Plus, it was a great for us to spend the golden time together in weekend. For 15 minutes we all free to kayak entire lake. I still remember we try to kayak race together.
After that, our facilitator ask us to queue our kayak together by holding other kayak on the middle of lake to do some challenge. The challenge was the two chosen persons need to exchange their kayak by walk on the kayaks. Muhammad Fikri Bin Ismail and I was chosen to the challenge. For us it so easy but still have difficult especially to balance our body when walked on the floating kayaks. The next two challengers were Lee Cheng Hong and Muhammad Syahir Farhan. At the first, Syahir easily accomplish the challenge but somehow Lee Cheng Hong lost his balance and fell into the lake. Luckily, he wore the life jacket so he floating and instructors help him up.
After we had fun kayaking, we washed the kayaks then stored them with the life jacket in the keep before we took the bus and back to college and prepared the night activity sessions.
8.00pm, again we assembled at Dataran Resak and waited for the buses then went to Dewan Astana, Kolej Tuanku Cansellor. The next session was need us to submit our multimedia task so the facilitator gave us 30 minutes to complete them and submit. I and Tok Wei Kok took charge to complete the meme task. We try to snap everyone candid pictures and chose the most funny to edit and submit it. After found the suitable picture, I download mobile Photoshop to edit it. While, Nurul Aqilah with Farid Rangkuti took the music task and Jasmin Farena with How Kah Hui incharge for pixel art task.
Before waited the judgement result, we had to return the trustworthy goods and luckily none of them damage nor lost so we got the full score. After that, the facilitators announce the top three groups with highest score. The top three team were Umair’s team, Afif’s team and my team. The last game will decide the winner place, first-place, runner up and third-place. The opponent decided by play rock-paper-scissor. The result make my team will versus Umair’s team while Afif’s team will bye into the final. The games was ddakji game was traditional South Korean game played using folded paper tiles and player need to throw his tile to make the tile of the other player flip over. If the tile flipped, the player is the winner. The first game Umair will started first and he can not manage to flip my tile. While in my turn, I managed to flip his tile with a single threw. But it need high force so then I feel numb at my shoulder.
The next was the final game between Afif and me. Again, Afif started first, and he did to make my tile fly and flipped few times. Luckily, my tile drop and it back into unflipped. While me try my best in next round but with my numb shoulder, his tile was just fly and stay unflipped. The next throw Afif did not waste his threw again, he managed to flip my tile with a strong threw then Afif was announce as the winner. The last event was the closing ceremony and we all have fun that day.
From the event what I can response is, I felt so fun especially when we all got spend time together. We all got the change to close our bonding when we did not had so much time because of our pack schedule doing degree. Plus, I think it was very unforgettable experience especially with kayak at UTM Lake since it hard to get the permit for kayak. I also felt lucky to have a great team members even though we just met but we manage to get the second place.
Next is about relating, like I said before the kayak was my second time experience after the first when I was 15 years old joined the school activity. Other than that, I also can relate with my design skill especially used Adobe Photoshop during the meme task although I did not win the first place. Plus, I just showed my creativity on our logo design by drew the panda character to assembly the Mobile Legend hero, Akai.
The last is about reconstructing where joining this event give many good impacts to me. Also, I have learnt so much things as my self-reflection such as communication skills. There, I can share my opinion and learnt how to start the conversation with new friends and seniors. I might not be able to know all the batches of the course since we all would be busy with our own schedule. We also still keep in contact with each other and even ask seniors for any guidance or help regarding the course or subjects.
The skills have helped me to improve myself and be better in adapting to new environments and having positive outcome from it. It was all still very challenging but by the end of the day, we all completed the tasks together and became better students of CGMA. I also gain my self-confidence since we experience the kayaking activities. It was looks very scary before but after experience it, it was so much fun from it.
