Last Blog=(

Time really flies. There goes another semester and soon it will mark the end of my first year of University life. From the start, recalling how embarrassed I was to tell people that I am taking EG 1471 this semester and how reluctant I was to attend this class. I also remembered how I used to dread writing blog every weekend and to comment on others’ blog as well. Initially, to me this was a chore. As compared to this module, I was more motivated and willing to commit my time on other modules rather than putting effort in this module as it was awarded with no Modular Credits (MCs). I felt that there is no point putting in effort in this module since a pass will do.

However, unknowingly, blogging become part and parcel of my life and in fact, I looked forward to each lesson. I started to enjoy the mingling session between my blogging buddies and tutor. CELC has actually been one of my frequent “hangouts”. This module was “warm-blooded” as compared to the rest of my “cold-blooded” modules where there was no form of interaction at all during tutorials. Perhaps this is what made learning enjoyable in EG 1471.

I enjoy reading the meaningful comments given to me by my classmates and the encouraging feedback from my tutor for each assignment. All this valuable comments and feedbacks motivated me to work even harder. I also get to experience the earnest and humble learning attitudes of my classmates. They are ever so willing to improve and so willing to learn. It actually dawned on me that that should be the way of learning and the way of life – to always seek improvement and never stop learning. With these attitudes in life, I believe that success is not far.

The end of this blog marks the end of my EG 1471’s journey. Little did I expect myself to actually miss blogging and attending EG 1471. However, I believe EG 1471 does not end here. The writing skills that we have acquired will accompany us for life. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my EG 1471 classmates all the best for their future endeavours and upcoming exam. Education is not about the results but rather the whole process. Let’s not let academic achievement hinder us from enjoying the process=)

~Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!~

Last but not least, I would sincerely like to thank our Sensei for all the guidance and encouragement that he has given to us throughout the whole semester. It’s been a pleasure to be in your class, Sensei=)
