mortar and pestle

mortar and pestle, two things that have their own meaning that we can create by our own mind. when mr razi and mr halim asked the students to create other usage of mortar and pestle, besides than to crush, grind, and mix substances foods material, i was thinking it was a good task to make people thinking creatively of it.

mr razi asked us to choose any word from mind map that he gave from power point. choose any three words and spread it to create another functions of mortar and pestle. and i randomly picked
if you guys couldn't see it, i chose words; Girl, Noise and Game

for girl, those things suitable as a a bertungku stone, especially during post-natal. Bertungku is a traditional Malay compress technique used to compliment any form of massage especially Malay traditional massage. Bertungku is done with the use of heated river stone or iron cast equipment as the compress. bertungku also can be practiced on clients of all ages and sex.

and also for girl, it can be a material for cat-walking when they walk and put those thing on their head for stabilization. usually people use book or any heavy objects, but let's be creative, use mortar and pestle could be good one too :).

the other one is noise. noise that can use as an alarm to wake people up by knocking the pestle to empty mortar. it will create an annoying sound until rise an anger feeling towards whoever hears it.

besides, the noise term also can use for music. same like as other music instruments such as drum and others.

alright for the game, i was thinking of throw the pestle to match into mortar that placed on the ground.

other than that was spinning mortar that place on spinning pestle on the ground. same application as gasing, the traditional malay game.
