Week 18 was SOOOOO much fun ๐ญ✨
Honestly, I loved it.
First of all… it has been AGES since I last boarded a plane ✈️๐. I became one of those people taking photos of everything just for the geotag.
And honestly?
I don’t even care if people think I’m weird ๐๐ธ.
I just cannot help it.
The Nervous Journey Begins๐ฎ๐จ✈️
Before departing for the course, I was nervous the entire time.
Not normal nervous.
๐ airport nervous ๐ญ๐
I kept worrying:
- Did I check in my bag correctly?
- What if I missed my flight?
- What if they didn’t allow me to board because my hand carry exceeded 7kg?!
And honestly…
between my:
๐ป laptop
๐ฑ iPad
๐ powerbank
…I really thought I might get stopped ๐
Then came:
๐ต๐ซ navigating the airport
๐ต๐ซ finding the cab counter
๐ต๐ซ trying to look calm while internally panicking
But alhamdulillah ๐ค
I safely arrived.
Walking Into a Room Full of Youngsters๐๐
The next day, the course began.
And BOY… I was nervous again ๐ญ.
The room was almost full of youngsters ๐✨.
It was also the place where I saw:
๐ the highest concentration of Apple products in one room ๐
MacBooks everywhere. iPads everywhere. Energy everywhere.
The crowd was lively, enthusiastic, laughing, helping each other.
And slowly…
I started enjoying myself ๐ค
Cuppa Production ☕๐ฌ
My group was called:
✨ Cuppa Production ✨
And honestly, we worked HARD.
We completed tasks together, discussed ideas, edited videos… and even slept at 1 a.m. finishing our projects ๐ญ๐.
Tiring? Yes.
Fun? VERY.
Learning Beyond Video Editing ๐ฅ✨
I already had some experience making videos through Perky Piung ๐ข.
But this course taught me something deeper.
Not just:
๐ how to make videos
But:
๐ how to TEACH others to make videos.
I learned:
✨ step-by-step workflow
✨ planning and publishing process
✨ trainer preparation
✨ how to guide learners creatively
And suddenly, I could see:
๐ฑ how this connects to my classroom
๐ฑ my storytelling
๐ฑ my future projects
The Digital Portfolio Panic ๐๐ป
We were also required to create our:
๐ digital portfolio
Which…
hahaha I have not started yet ๐ญ๐
So yes.
Another thing added to my:
๐ “School Holidays Mountain of Tasks™” ⛰️๐
But honestly?
I hope I can slowly complete many of them during the holidays ๐ค
Teacher’s Day Love๐ท๐
Last week was also:
✨ Teacher’s Day ✨
And I received so many gifts, drawings, and little tokens from my students ๐ฅน๐.
I truly appreciate the love and effort from both the learners and their parents.
And deep inside, I quietly hope:
๐ the love they show me
will slowly become
๐ love for learning too ๐ค
Rediscovering Malaysian Folklore๐ข๐✨
One of the most meaningful parts of the course was meeting people from all over the country.
The trainers and participants helped me:
✨ understand animation better
✨ reconnect with storytelling
✨ rediscover love for Malaysian folklore
And honestly?
It has been a while since I truly celebrated my own culture like this.
Now my brain is already buzzing with ideas ๐ญ๐
Like…
๐ What if Perky Piung starred in Malaysian folklore stories? ๐ข✨
Can you imagine:
- Piung meeting Sang Kancil?
- Piung in Mahsuri?
- Piung wandering through Story Island folklore adventures?
HAHAHAHA ๐ญ✨
Another pile added to my school holiday plans.
But honestly?
I think these ideas are worth exploring.
A Creative Direction Emerging๐ฑ๐จ
This course made me realise something important.
I think I want to focus more on:
๐ฌ animation
๐ storytelling
๐ฅ video creation
✨ creative learning experiences
Just like:
๐ข Perky Piung on Story Island ✨
And for the first time in a while…
that dream feels possible.
Final Reflection ๐ค
Week 18 reminded me that sometimes…
we need to step outside our normal routine to remember who we are becoming ๐ฑ✨
This course did not just teach me animation.
It reignited:
๐ creativity
๐ curiosity
๐ courage
And for that…
Alhamdulillah ๐ค✨

Awesome!!!
