After all these days, our public speaking journey is coming to an end. This is our first class of the last semester, and it's surreal to be even living in this moment. However, whatever happens, life has to go on :) as usual, our first class began with a very cheerful greeting from madam and we had to elect the new board for this tenure. It was a fun process as we got to see so many volunteers and some who even got themselves involved in the board again since we were lacking members to take up positions. With all our discussion and final voting procedure, we finally came to a final list of board members to lead our club this tenure. After the voting procedure ended, the class gave in some suggestions for our physical meetings, we were all so excited :) I can't wait to experience all this

The class began with attendance taking as usual, and today's lesson was about persuasive speech. Upon learning the mandate and the art of persuasive speech, we were then exposed to how to properly write and come with a speech on our own. Hence, soon after the lesson, we were told to brainstorm for speech tittle ideas and then come with possible points that we will include throughout our speech. As simple as it sounds, brainstorming for ideas was not easy, so many interesting topic s to pick from.

Well, how can I possibly forget this day. It is our first kokk lesson in campus. Knowing that it is our first time being in campus, adapting to the whole new change and attending class at the same time was quite overwhelming :') but the class today was really interesting for me actually.
We divided into groups and each read a group-specific essay on Types of Persuasive Speaking. We analyse the writers' key arguments , then choose one group member to speak on the writers' behalf. Since I really loved the topic, I volunteered to to the presentation for it. However, the choosing of groups to present was done alternatively, hence, our group's turn to present was said to be done in the next class. Upon the completion of our discussion, we gathered once again in the breakout space to discuss and analyse the remarks made by Indonesian President Joko Widodo. We look at all facets of Joko Widodo's speech, including delivery, audience, time, place, speaker's intention, and overall impact on the audience. And like usual, to improve ourselves, madam gave us detailed feedback for each group via the chat box after many groups had finished their presentations.

Well, it was finally the day of presentation for Jokowi Widodo's speech analysis. I was indeed very thrilled to share with everyone the findings of our work. To my surprise, we received a lot of compliments from madam for the presentation, I was really glad that I was able to share the knowledge with the rest of my classmates . We managed to take some pictures of madam's commentaries of the presentation (will attach it below).
After our presentation, we were given another surprise!! Who thought we would have to translate a Raya Song and sing it in class, but im not complaining though, because it was by far one my favourite memories in class. My group chose the song "Suasana Hari Raya" and we managed to practice and translate the song within the given time frame. It was truly a lesson to remember as it not only test our ability to translate and get the meanings right, but also tested our ability to keep up with the rhythm of the song. We are glad that madam liked the choices of our words.

And yet again, another interesting activity was carried out today in our class, It was about persuading our classmates to watch a movie or read a novel we have encountered. Through this lesson, I have learnt that we can convince people with a lot of techniques, like letting them know what they like and make them feel close to the subject matter so that they will be more attracted to what we are conveying . Our group talked about "Sky Castle" and me someone who does not watch a lot of movies, I really enjoyed listening to the explanation by my friends in class. Although there were spoilers for certain movies that i have yet to watch, I enjoyed our class for today. However, we could not finish all the presentations today due to time constraint. But more exciting movies coming up next week.
4th Of June
Another day another interesting session. But today's class was a mixture of feeling as we only have one more class to end Kok-K :'). It was a bittersweet day. However, the class resumed with the presentation of movie/novel persuasion by our classmates. I still remember, one of the teams proposed watching ENDGAME. But in my opinion, Endgame takes a very long time to watch, in order to watch the movie and understand the story, one should watch the other movies released, and that is about 10 or more movies in total all ranging about 3 hours. As for me, I would definitely not be convinsed to watch a movie that long if the storyline were to drag that far, but I believe fantasies provide an escape for mind, so maybe in the future, I would consider watching it. Thanks to my friends for the convincing.
Then we proceeded with the event planning and venue as well as games arrangement discussion with the lead of Fazril . All of us were very active in discussing and contributing ideas to how to plan our last kok-k class. It was really nice to know all my classmates were really cooperative and professional when it came down to discussion. Hopefully our event goes well and I CANT WAIT TO MEET EVERYONE :))))

11 JUNE 2022
IT IS FINALLY THE LAST DAY OF KOK-K
EVENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION
- the flow of the event was planned since last week and the delegation of work was done ever since. Hence, on this day, with all our communications and well-coordinated preparation, we managed to conduct the event successfully.
PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
- to talk about problem, we were lucky in the sense that none of this occurred, but we were put up to face a few obstacles. One of it was during the event planning itself, we had to decide what type of activity we wanted to conduct,. Hence, we had to come up with backup plans in case the weather for outdoor activities is not suitable. So that lead us to decide on going with indoor activities.
- in terms of food, we also had to make sure we can accommodate all our friends to eat the meal prepared so we circulated a gdocs to fill in the food that were all were going to bring and listed out the allergies so that we can take precautionary steps
- under the time aspect, although we were running late, with the permission of madam, our class was extended for a bit so that we could finish all the planned activities
MY CONTRIBUTION
- I was in-charge of handling games especially the first impression game. I was grateful for the opportunity as this game gives a paper of memory that everyone can bring home and look back on.
- apart from that, I believe that I was actively contributing to the discussion of the event in terms of suggestion the place, giving ideas on games as well as talking about plan B in case something out of our control were to occur.
OTHER GAMES
- Warewolf; this game was indeed one of the main highlights of the day as madam joined us to play as well. CK , Tasha, and Michelle executed the game very well and it was really interesting. Not to forget, musical chair that hyped up the spirit of all even more.
Fazril's Speech
- Fazril mentioned that he was and introverted person, but after his speech, I believe that he has a strong potential to be a good leader. This is because he had build up his courage to talk in front of all of us and to most of us here, that is not an easy thing to do. This speech must have given him a boost of confidence in speaking in front of audiences in the future. Fazril perfectly laid out the content of his speech and he even quoted famous figures in his speech so that we all could see the inter-relation of it and understand it better. Overall, his speech and the way he presented himself as a leader was very much admirable. He definitely inspired many of us that day, including me
