EPPDA Competition

ASSALAMUALAIKUM

Yesterday afternoon I went to school (previous school to be exact) with one of my friend , Fatin Amira to ask about our SPM official certificate ( mom had ask me several times to get the certificate whenever i go to school but forgetful what keeps mom get angry , relax ma) . Well, gazing at the surrounding of the school , no doubt i miss the exciting and the bad memories there, summed up = wonderful most of the time . But the coretan here isn't about the memories but the moment in one of the competition i took part . The moment i could feel the formality in life , a moment i felt as a star (cewah over) . Bukan apa, ni la satu satunya competition yang memang aku menyerahkan segala jiwa raga stomach dan segala intestines .

It was an E-PPDA competion (peringkat negeri) that was held somewhere in Rawang , sorry i forgot the place and the exact time. Realizing the students out there might found this entry useful as they might be entered for the same competition, i decided to post about it . About how the things in the competition might be if the format isn't yet have changed . I felt so lucky to be chosen by puan Maryati to enter this kind of competition. well at least i enjoyed , with the supercool and can-go-on team mates , with very helpful and nice teacher/advisor/spirit givers, puan Maryati who conducts us . everything seems so perfect if i elaborated now, repeat again NOW which the competition had already been in our memory about a year , but at the time we were on rushing , the work to be done were so bountiful ...nervous, anxious are the best word could describe our situation , it weren't that so perfect but finally the moment was very enjoyable to spend sometimes in life. Furthermore , I'm someone in computer addict , so more or little it really helped me to feel the fun.

okay enough with the introductions and may i begin. 

so on the moment i received a call from puan maryati asking me whether i am interested to join or not , if i am not mistaken , the gap before the competition was about 3 months so i decided to be in the list as i thought the task to be done aren't so complicated with a very long gap . in the mean time , there wasn't any much of work , but i get into contact with pn . maryati  several times , that i able to have the strength to skip SIVIK subject . SIVIK subject was our most spine-chilling subject to skip . HAHA. malas nak cerita kenapa , maaf :p in the competiton i played roll as documents and all the computer manager while my other two team mates Fatin and Shauqi both have their own roll as presenters . they are really good in presenting while i'm not so my roll as presenters wasn't many and i was blessed. haha . i couldn't smile while talking seriously , it is so difficult . :3

As the day passed by , i really had broke into pieces . the work to do were not as it seem . not as i imagined , the work seriously were covered with very intricate problems . Such as what is the best background to be put in your presentation , the best way to decorate all the thing , the information to be put in it that will be presented in 15 minutes , how to match up the power point designs with the theme , problems occured when sometimes the video you had put couldn't be played and many more. Plus , we have what it calls as manual book or something i forgot. we did not really concern about it but trust me it is the most important thing to  be completed . As the result , we succeed to complete the draft only in 2 pages instead of we have to complete the draft as many as our page in our presentation. take note* , do not ever take granted about the manual book / draft book.

My advice to the students that might be entered the competition , make sure not to take granted all the work as you would have some difficulties in your last time. Who ever have thought that Pn Maryati and i had to stay awake until 3 in the morning just to finish the zero complete after we suddenly be informed about the do's and the don't's , plus i have to get practice key-ing in the same thing i had to build in the power point. We did again all the things and practicing in just a night before the competition. I've lost the power point , so sad , kalau tak boleh upload ==" . All the information were burned in a CD, and the CD will be given to the manager at the competition so that they can check whenever we cheated by saving the context as images or not.

As u may know, in the competition we will be given about 2 hours to re-build our power point from a blank document (2 jam kot ntah tak ingat) . we can't save any of the information and we can't simply save all the image we had and pasting it all in the power point . Each group contestant will be given a PC , and we can't build the power point using our own laptop. Oh before that , a week or two before , we received a call from the producer calling us to go for a talk. the talk is important as you will be given the newest format and all. Nonetheless you can skip , it depends on you. But i suggest at least a representative have to go.

So on the day of the competition , we arrived late and we have to accept that our turn was the last . and here is it , IT WAS ONLY OUR TEAM who did not on any formal clothes. muehehehe. My group consists of 3 mates , we represented 1 Malaysia , matching up the theme , so Shauqi wore a Baju Melayu , Fatin wore a sari complete with tudung , while me complete cheongsam with tudung. Seeing the other group from other school wearing corporate or just formal school clothes making us all feels like a very weirdo :O but , naah , it was our speciality :p As we arrived the 're-build' activity was just about to start , and alhamdulillah we succeeded build all the thing in power point in the given time.

After that,when the time for representeting has started , we took time practising again and again and were still able to repair some of the things in the library. Oh by the way , other group will not be given permission to enter the competition room except when the turn has come. so we were waiting like hours sleepily and exhaustedly and anxiously all in one agony . and when our group being called , so we were like GET SET GO entering the room ANDDDDDDDDDD , all the CROWDwere like 'woaahh' , 'alamak habis la kita' , 'ha ni lain drpd yg lain' , seeing us all in our clothes XD and i was so happy , a bit proud :p

Setting up and bismillah , in 15 minutes we finally finished our presentation. i was proud and satisfied even though i forgot to read one part in the presentation , it was okay said pn . maryati because obviously i handled most activity running in computer . and , alhamdulillah all the video played smoothly , nothing stuck we were blessed . Many teachers from other school complimented us and we were lucky as we have Shauqi the most astonishing student in our school . Then we go makan-makan waiting for the closing chatted , cam-whoring , giggling , making new friends .

   Even though we just managed to get in 2nd place , and my thought that we could succeed in first prize had broken , couldn't continue in next stage , it was okay . i totally enjoyed with the exeperience Alhamdulillah :)  thats all not-so-many information given by me . hehe. Hoping that i can still give a view about the competition . Here are some pictures of our victory . HOHO

topic that we have to represent is about DADAH . (DRUG) the contestants will be given the drafts of what to do and what main thing should be in the list



oh btw , our senior once had succeed to go for Kebangsaan , we felt so bad because can't do better but it was our first time , pn. maryati cheered us up :) . Masa pertandingan ni dah pun tingkatan 5 nak habis sekolah dah so memang tak dapat further apa2 . okay thats all. until the next ABC . xoxoxoxoxo
