Our progress thus far.

The meeting this week was more focused on our progress thus far, which, sad to say, was still far from satisfactory. Only a few segments managed to complete everything on their checklist of things to do, which included the networking segment and the documentation segment. Many of our members completely forgot about the presentation about what their respective jobs entail that they were supposed to make, and give to Soo Sun by the end of the week, yet another error which desperately needs to be corrected.

Farhanah then proceeded to say that the Environment Week hadn't been as successful as we had hoped for it to be, due to the fact that our plans for the photography and video competition didn't come to fruition, before adding that Puan Yeo was rather disappointed in us. However, when we were joined by Puan Yeo later in the meeting, she mentioned that despite the disappointment of the week, she was extremely glad about the fact that the Sri Aman Hour was a massive success, with every Sri Amanian eagerly partaking in this event, the first of its' kind to be held in Sri Aman. On top of that, she also congratulated us on a job well done when it came to the No Plastic and Polystyrene Day. At the end of the day, though, the Environment Week only rated a six on a scale of one to ten, and Puan Yeo went on to share her hopes about us learning from our mistakes this time around, and use the lessons we have gained to make future events a bigger success.

The Heads of the Orchid Walkway, MARDI Fruit Orchard, Mini Eco Forest, and Herbs Garden have all come up with a similar project plan to ensure that every competition member knows the details of the plants-by requesting that they study using the information found on the blog. A quiz will be given the next time we hold a meeting, and members who are unable to answer the questions asked would have to pay a fine of RM 1 for every question they were unable to answer.

Eishatur then reminded everyone to bring one 1.5 litre plastic mineral water bottles the next week, adding that the deadline would be the end of the week, and that those who did not do so would once again, have to pay a hefty fine of RM 10. These bottles would be used to protect the trees in our fruit orchard from the external hazards they are exposed to on a daily basis such as grass-cutters. 

The Information Corner was also tidied up, before everyone was dismissed.
