On 18th july,LMS lesson was different!Ms Anne gave us three tasks to complete!
Firstly, go to all four canteens,target any group and ask for one of their names and sing BIRTHDAY SONG for him!It was quite embarrassing,everyone was staring at us as if we were like carzy people haha!
Secondly,we must ask the opposite gender for their numbers and THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I APPROACHED A GUY FOR HIS NUMBER!During the hunt,we were helping one another looked for handsome and pretty girls haha.
The last was the scariest,it was to make a scene at a crowded place where u will capture the people's attention!We did it in the library where it is the quietiest place and the easiest to catch people's attention!We planned a couple fight in the middle of nowhere and fizah will give ruslan a slap on his face!WOW the slap was super loud and ruslan's face went red haha!Then all of us quickly ran out of the library because it was really embarrassing and awkward!Nonetheless we enjoyed ourselves! :)

Reflection!
After attending lessons on LMS, I have truly benefited from it. It taught me many useful things and especially managing my time and anger through all the useful ways and it turns me into a better person. Things that I learned from these lessons are simply valuable as it will be kept with me throughout my journey in life. Having known all the skills and knowledge that I may not have acquired by now, will motivates me to wanting to learn more and find out things which may be beneficial to me.
As I move on with life, I need the skills to deal with the challenges face in this fast paced world in order not to lose out to others. Personally, I do feel that time management is very important and essential in our lives. We have many things need to done in a day and we cannot possibly remember every single thing clearly without taking down notes. In addition, we have many distractions in life especially during our age. We may not be mature enough to think of setting our priorities first before we actually concentrate on other things (going out with friends, chatting online). If we put too much concentration on our personal stuff, we will definitely neglect our priorities that need to be done first like (projects). I need to have self motivation in order to get things done efficiently and effectively. Having acquired self motivation, I will than start to achieve greater heights in my life. Before I do this, I need to get my priorities right by planning my own schedule well. I realized I get distracted easily and I tend to procrastinate to do my homework. After attending LMS, time management is really important to me now, without time management I will be very disorganized and cannot get things done in time and from there I will get frustrated with myself which is useless because it won’t help solve my problems.
Adding onto it, doing projects can be a real tiring task as it requires us to do research and crack our brains real hard. During our project group meeting, we work together as a team, cooperate and get things done in time. We will also joke around and laugh at each other and it’s really fun to hang out with my project group mates! However, there are times when we have difficulty to meet up with one another because all of us are in different classes and we have different schedules and projects that need to be done. Nonetheless, we sacrificed our time to meet up and get our projects done. I am grateful to have friends like them who are willing to sacrifice their time for projects. :)
Right now, I am feeling very stressful because we got an A for our previous project and we want to do well for this project as well! Also, other groups are all catching up and we must be like them!
Lastly, I truly benefited from this LMS module and of course having known my wonderful group mates! :)

Learning experiences and learning points
Through this module,i have discovered techniques to manage life skills like conflict, time and anger.First unit was on self-awareness and self-esteem.I was one with very low self-esteem and my thoughts will be filled with negative thinking.Whenever i look at other girls,i will be saying to myself,"why cant i be like them,so tall,skinny and pretty?" I used to compare myself with others and think very lowly of myself. After attending lessons on self-esteem,i realised everyone has our own good points and bad points so why not work on it to make it better! From then on,i set goals for myself and work hard towards my goals.I will not be afraid of challenges but i will overcome them!
I have been working closely with my LMS group mates to complete this assignment,indeed i have learnt a lot. Getting all of us to come together as a group was not an easy task, all of us have our own schedules and datelines to meet,whatsmore we are not from the same class. Not surprisingly, some of us get frustrated while trying to fix a date convenient for everyone. Nonetheless, we make use of our breaks to meet up and sometimes after our different projects meeting. I realised time managment is very important in life,without it,we can be lost and work cannot be completed on time. Adding onto it, our lifes will be very disorganized and thus resulting in conflict and anger. As we do not have a plan as to what to do next, things will start to clash and this result in arguement between us. All these will only make our lifes worse and more difficult to handle. Strategies to overcome such problems is to have a time table nicely plan out and make sure we follow what is written on it.By doing so, we will have a better managment of time and datelines can be met promptly. I am glad to say all my group mates are quite good in managing their time. :)
I remember a video showed to us by our classmates,it was about two dancers who are physically handicap,the lady without an arm and the man without a leg.They danced very well despite their disablity, and this touches me when i was watching the video.I was asking myself what gave them the courage and motivation to continue dancing. Then i told myself it is up to me to decide my path in life,worried about what others may think of me and therefore give up the courage to pursue my dreams is silly.If i choose to give up on myself,i cannot blame others for giving up on me.So from there on, i started to do things that i like and dress my own way not thinking how others look at me.However,i do listen to advice given and if i feel that it's reasonable and there is no harm trying, i will do it.
I'am really glad to work with my group mates because they are a bunch of nice friends. All of us put in our best for all the LMS assignments given to us,because we feel that every project is crucial and it affects our GPA,hence we put in our best to score for every little thing.Most inportantly,we felt a sense of satisfaction when teacher gave us positive remarks on our project and thats where we felt our efforts were well paid off. We know how to manage our schedules well and thats why we are always on time for datelines unless we face technical difficulties. During project discussion, we tend to have own opinions and we do say it out,we then put all our ideas together and decide on which one is more applicable to our assignment. All of us agree to it and will not argue over the final decision,this makes working together as a group easier and enjoyable.Adding onto it, we all are very easy going,if any task needs to be done and we will volunteer to finish it.All in all,im grateful to have my group mates.

I have developed a better interpersonal skills through this module as we have lots of presentation as compared to secondary school days.I used to be a very shy girl and gets extremely nervous especially when presenting in front of my class.After all these practices, i can better communicate and express my opinions in front of my classmates without feeling very nervous.
Learning how to manage anger,fear and conflict is definitely not easy as I have always been an impatient girl,its hard for me to change it overnight.I did try to remain calm and told myself not to rush things through.I realised it helps a little by listening to everyone's opinion first before deciding whether mine is approriate.By doing so, we have lessen the things that will lead to arguement such as the different opinions we have.From then on,i will think through carefully before stating my opinion and it really works as our arguement gets lesser and lesser.
Personally,success to me is to achieve all my goals in life and of course having a wonderful family and a bunch of close friends by my side.I do want a luxury life and i will work towards putting in my best because this is my dream!

What are 6 adjectives which best describe you? These can be from outside the list. Think about the evidence or your past experiences that support their accuracy.
1)Considerate - My friend organised a chalet to celebrate her birthday and i was invited. However, almost all of us cannot stay over at her chalet because our parents do not allow and she started criticising us on her blog. All of them were so mad at her that they decided not to go for her party except me and the other girl. I told them to go because it’s her birthday and we should give her face. And so all my friends said i’m simply too considerate of how others will feel.
2)Stubborn –I will try all means to get what i want if not i will be super angry and my friends did experienced it.
3)Trustworthy –I never failed to help my friends keep secrets and thats why they always confide in me whenever they got problems, be it happy or unhappy.
4)Temperamental –Sometimes when i go to school early in the morning, i will pull a long face and just ignore my friends and they get really piss with me.
5)Serious –When it comes to project work and dateline is drawing near, i will get really serious. If my friends still do not get down to work i will walk off to cool myself down.
6)Ambitious –I had always wanted to lead a luxury life in the future, now i’m studying hard to get a diploma to secure myself with a job in future and to get all my branded goods!
From the list of adjectives that you scored 3, identify the ones which you best like about yourself. Why are they important to you?
1) Tolerant –I can be very tolerant to my friends and family members, unless things really go out of hands than i will explore. It’s important to me because i will not vent my anger on others easily and this will mean less quarrelling with friends and family members. Also it helps to control my own emotions better.
2) Thoughtful –I will always put my friends’ feelings above myself. I try not to make them feel lousy and whenever they say nasty things about my friends and i will just let it go. My friends warned me not to be so nice to others because u will never know what they will do behind your back. I think it’s important for us to be thoughtful to others, if everyone was to careful of one another there will never be true friends around.
3) Trustworthy –It’s important to gain the trust of others because next time when we encounter any problems, they will be there for you and trust whatever u say and never doubt. Most importantly when you are being wrongly accuse by someone, you will hope someone will be there to trust you and give you their full support.
From the list of adjectives that you scored 0, write down the ones you would like to improve. How are you going to develop these characteristics?
1) Articulate –I hope to improve on this and try to be more confident when speaking in front of the crowd. I will try to speak more in front of my friends and hopefully it will help me.
Reflections:
Public Self:
This is what I share with others about me:
I’m just a very simple girl, likes to make new friends and go shopping. I’m friendly and easy to approach. :)
Private Self:
Think about how much of your private self you are willing to share. What are the benefits or drawbacks to sharing aspects of your private self?
I’m willing to share my private self only to my close friends. Personally i trust people easily and i get hurt in the end. From then on, i choose carefully who i can share and who i cannot share with. Benefits of sharing your personal allows others to know you better and it helps one to feel better after telling what’s on their mind. Not forgetting about the negative side, if that person knows everything about you and they will seize the opportunity to backstab or make use of your weak point and threaten you.
Blind Spot:
What are some of things that you’ve learnt about yourself from others that cause you to wonder or to see yourself differently?
Friends told me that i’m too shy and seldom will take the initiative to approach someone, i realised it only after they told me. They said i’m too soft-hearted and will get bullied by others easily. They also said that i should not have been so considerate towards other people’s feelings and neglecting my own feelings.
What are some of the limiting beliefs that you hold? Take a few minutes to reflect on the impact it has on your self-esteem, your relationships, and actions.
1) I have to be pretty in order to be attractive.
2) I have to be smart for people to be friends with me.
3) I need to have a good sense of dressing in order not to be laugh at.
My 5 Years Plan
At the age of 21, hopefully I can get my diploma in business studies.
Beginning of age 22, I want to get my driving license and a full time job as a banker.
At the age 23, save enough money and travel overseas with my friends and hopefully I get my parents’ consent.
At the end of 24, I dearly wish that my relationship is still working out well and the both of us shall continue to work hard and save enough money for our future.
By end of 25, I wish to get engage with the one I love and together we will work hard and build our future hand in hand. :)

Self Awareness
Personally,i get irritated quite easily when things dont go the way i want it to be,and i will simply vent my anger on my friends and family.Adding on to it,i'm quite a stubborn girl,i must get the things i want if not i will be very frustrated!Also i never think before i speak.There was once i went shopping and i cant find a pair of shoes which i saw a few days back and i went around searching for it.In the end i didnt manage to find it and i was real angry at that time.Normally people will just forget about it and get another pair but i cant,i die die also must find that pair of shoes!My friend was also angry at the moment cause she spent the whole day walking around with me!Than she told me to go home and forget about finding it and i was like 'go if you want,im gnn find it by myself!'True enough she left and i continued searching.At the end of the day i made myself so exhausted just because of that SHOE!The worse thing is, I DIDNT MANAGE TO FIND IT!
From there i learnt my lesson and tried my best to control my emotions and it works now!At least i wont go around looking for a particular pair of shoes again!
Here are some methods to get ur anger under control:
1)Take a "time out." Count to 10 before reacting or leave the situation altogether.
2). Do something physically exerting. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. Go for a walk or a run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets, for example.
3) Think carefully before you say anything so that you don't end up saying something you'll regret. Work with the person who angered you to identify solutions to the situation.
4) Find ways to calm and soothe yourself. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as "take it easy." You can also listen to music, paint, journal or do yoga.
