Today is my session (1 August 2019). My session should begin at 830am. But the students came at 9am. I was mad. They took their own sweet time to have breakfast. Ita apologised because she did not forcefully urge the students to be quick. What is wrong with this situation? Why did the teacher has to apologise on the behalf of students? I hate to deal with situation like this because the ones who should apologise are the students who came late. Not the teacher who is in charge of the programme.
I met Fatin who was participating in a team building programme with the TNCPI office during lunch. Fatin must be amused looking at how I was flocking by students who chatted non-stop about what they like about the camp. What they liked about the camp? Well, they got a smartphone courtesy of the hotel in each room. So? What do you expect? Yes. They stayed up late and got busied updating their Insta post. They also said that it is quite rare for them to have opportunity to stay overnight at a hotel. Some of them belong to B40 families. Indeed it is such a rare opportunity for them. Alhamdulillah the hotel gave them a good deal. They have printed logo and signage in each seminar room. So, students took pictures and whatsnot. Me? I took pictures for documentation purposes.
