Jacquelyn's reflection...

haha you guys are not the latest... I am. Nearly forgot about it. All thanks to PW which has kept all of us so so busy I guessed. But as the saying goes "Better late than never"... Hahax!

(S, L) is my coordinate for the discussion on service learning. Personally, I feel that service is as important as learning in this entire project that we are embarking on. Although (s, L) mentioned that our service may not be as much as they expect out from us, on our side we will try our best to maximize the service that we can offer to the people at Yunnan. Of course, learning must take place along the way or else the trip would be a futile one.

Haha finally there is you guys here to share the “折磨” that I have been through for the past few months of photography sessionSsss… We were given time to go round taking pictures according to the project that our group has discussed in the previous meeting. It is yet another photography taking session that I have been through umpteen times. However, this time is different because I am able to share my point of views with my group mates when taking a good photograph. Although, the process may be similar, but the feeling is different because along the way I still picked up new ideas injected by my group member, yu ang. Many of us are trying to feel what he is trying to say when he said just 很放的去 take a photograph. Anyway, it has been a great photog session.

Finally, the ACM tour has been very enriching. Although this is already my 3rd time to the ACM, I admit that the previous times I did not learn as much as I did this time around. I am amazed by how the Muslims made use of astrolable, a tool used to tell the direction of Mecca from where they were living. This is truly amazing because even without advanced technology nowadays, Muslims in the past were still able to tell the direction of Mecca with the help of the astrolable. In addition, they are so creative to use their Islamic words to draw animals and show life in their words that they write.

An interesting fact to share! Do you know even Muslims know calligraphy? Chinese make use of Chinese brushes to do their calligraphy while the Muslims uses reed pens to write their calligraphy words. All in all I think the trip has indeed been an enriching one for me.
