registration before entering the psych lab..and yess i see how the assignments drop box made itself useful here

People who were there..batch 9

batch 8

a total of 30 over participants turned up..i think it was almost 40..oh well all i know was the psych lab was packed haha

Ee Lin..doing the welcoming and all

Suet Ling and Nisha conducting the Ice breaking session..

everyone was given an expression to potray and the many expressions are actually the different groups for the workshop..there were excited,disgusted,shocked..just to name a few..and you're suppose to introduce yourself and then do the expression so you'll know who and who is in the same group..it's a good way for the participants to know one another..made any new frens?

yess "break the ice"

after many rounds of shaking around..

i guess disgusted found themselves *shrug*

and erm..posing or doing expression?

started off the workshop with Yong Long and Su Woan presenting on the introduction..from the definition to the many poses and facial expression that we do and the meaning behind each pose and facial expression...

being engrossed in it

then a real life example to show the participants how important body language is...that's two volunteers who were playing the interviewer role..while Sii Ying was the lack of confidence job candidate..she avoided eye contact,was hesitant in her answers and was fidgeting a lot..

while Yng Jiun was the second job candidate..who was the total opposite of the first..and no prize for guessing which candidate would directors in the real world actually hire..see how important body language is?

yup they looked like they had fun

the next session was on Non-verbal communication between friends and between teacher and students..covered by Jacqueline

she had helpers Chen See and Yng Jiun acting out poses for the participants to guess

anyone remember what pose is this?HAHA

then it was games time WOOHOO

everyone has to get into their own groups

and each participants has to act out a certain expression or event for their group members to guess..

next up is Non-Verbal Communication in Different Culture presented by Joanne..she showed how different sign language like the famous "peace sign" and others can mean different things in different culture or different country.

then the last session was Non-verbal communication between male and female presented by Cassie. She covered on how different body language can mean different things to both gender and gave some tips on how to spot out potential partners,or recognize body language that says "i am interested in you"

why so serious?o.O or are they being defensive?hmmmm...

we realize we still have time for one more game..

everyone were to get into their respective groups again

but this time..it's the pass the message game..but instead of whispering it,they would act it out..then the last person would have to guess it correctly to get points for their group..oh yess there are points accumulated for every game sadly i can't remember who the winner was

one of the many expressions that were caught on camera

haha =p

and yes that one million dollar expression

who would have taught a place for serious study and lectures could turn into a field for games and play?

then it was time to wrap up the workshop..Ee Lin did a summary and the workshop ended.

the free tea as promised yeshhh blueberry tart! the muffin was awesome too..

and the participants hang around and chatted with one another
