Position/Role in the Programme
I was one of the committee member that organized this event. I also helped with taking care of Chinese chess booth together with chess boards and maintaining order at the scene.
Mini Report
On 30 November & 1 December 2018, an event organized by PTUTM, "Moon Cake Festival and Cultural Night 2018" had been held. The aim of this event is to promote and introduce Chinese culture, also to enhance and increase the awareness of importance of Chinese culture among the community. We are hoping that the community will appreciate the essence in Chinese culture and realize about the importance of inheriting it to the next generation. During the event, I was a member of Cultural Resource group. My main task is to watch over the Chinese chess endgame booth and maintain the order at the scene. I were assigned to take care of two Chinese chessboards throughout the event. At the end, we gave our participants a souvenir as a sign of appreciation. After going through thick and thin, I still found this journey fruitful and meaningful although it was tiring.
Self-Reflection
I felt happy because this event is a success. I had learnt how to organize and plan for an event from zero and learn to work with people from different backgrounds as a team. Apart from that, this event also gave me an opportunity to interact with strangers through the games and I am confident that this experience will help me in the future in making new friends. The task of maintaining order had given me my very first chance to play the role of “inspector” which I had never done in my high school before. Last but not least, I would like to issue my utmost gratitude to my team and my partner here for giving me more than enough guidance and helps throughout the process. I feel proud that I can attended this event and I felt very enjoyable in these 2 days.
From this event, I realized that I had poor time management since this was my very first time joining big event after entering university. I found it very hard to cope with my assignments and lecture courses while we were in the stage of preparation for this event. It was a stressful process to archive good outcomes in both academic and for this event. However, it taught me a good lesson on importance to manage my time efficiently and this will be an invaluable experience for me. Really appreciate to be given this chance for joining this event.
