3rd place...!!! Alhamdulillah

I can't believe I won the third place in the cooking competition which was organised by Bakti Agong Association. At first place I didn't want to join the competition since I was not confident and not ready yet. The competition must have at least 2 participants from each Unit of Bakti to join the cooking competition. Since there was only one person joined in our Unit so I was chosen to try my luck.

Before the competition started, there was demo on preparation of healthy food by ex-Hyatt Chef. Then the competition started by group A category - 10 VIP participants and then followed by group B. I was in group B with 9 others participants. We were provided with variety of fruits and vegetables, bottles of yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, honey, basal dry leaves, salt and skim milk. It seemed to look easy for me but I didn't know how it would taste.... So we had to think how to make our own recipe from the ingredients. We were given only 15 minutes to prepare salad or juice or any other to be ready to cook. Four judges from the dietations and hyatt chefs were judging during and after the competition. They judged on the taste, decoration and quality of the recipe.

My friends and I

She is a special kid

Next year I'll be teaching and assisting a five year old albino girl, class kindergarten. Few days ago, on the 9th November, I had a School Based Team (SBT) meeting with 3 psychologists, my headmistress, 3 class teachers, parents and Ana (an Albino girl) at my school. We planned on how to assist this girl on her education inclusively and the area that need modification for her to learn comfortably with her situation.

The Albino Ana has no pigments, her skin is white, her eyes are red and her hair is really tinted. This girl easily get burned because the pigments in her skin are responsible for protecting her against sun rays. We came out with a modification setting of the classroom because of her skin problems. According the doctor's report, she needs to use sunblock cream with spf of 50 to 80. Apart from that, she has problem with her vision that is long sightedness. Ana is also an active girl and easily get anger if her need is not fulfilled. I hope I can cope with Ana's behaviour soon
