juxtaposition

JUXTAPOSITION??? what do we understand on this meaning? i don't even know the word exist. well let's find out. from the lecture given, juxtaposition means a placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words or the act of positioning close together.

as example;

work like a dog? there is meaning behind those sentence. it means people who work hard of something.
huge parking lot? that means jam!! none of cars are moving. you can see it clearly right~

two objects or words next to each other, then human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning.

mr radzi and mr halim asked the students to choose two numbers and combine it together to create a words





then, i chose;

06; fly spider
64; duck mountain
68; duck wood

then we have to create sentences from the words given or that i chose;

1. the butterflies fly over the spider

2. a group of ducks trying to hike on the top of the mountain

3. a duck make a noise in a wood

after that we have to illustrate our words into images. then i came up with this;

fly spider

duck mountain

duck wood

well that's what we're did for juxtaposition...

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.

mind mapping 2nd

before this mr halim asked us to do a mind map about anything. anything that we could think of. after a few days of thinking and try to spread of the idea that i will to do, i come up with this


tadaaa!! a mind map of student..

if you guys could see, which is very microscopic, i know, those are the activities and what students do for their life, i mean most of them.

mind mapping

today i learned about mind mapping or in Bahasa Melayu known as Peta Minda. this technique that developed by Tony Buzan use a diagram to represent words, idea, task or other items that related to another. thus, it was applied by people to help them remember better in what ever they mind mapping on. students are usually the major consumers of mind mapping especially when it comes to examination or test.

i remember from the olden time when my Biology teacher keep asking students to do mind mapping as she claimed that mind mapping is declared as the best method to do revision for student. and it has proven by some big universities, which i don't know where.

basically, mind mapping is divided into two types which are, logical mind mapping and associates mind mapping. but so far, we only learned the logical one as the other will proceed to next week.

logical mind mapping is directly connected to stereotypes. as an example, we usually call a kid as cute. but when it comes to logical mind mapping, we use another word that describe "cute" itself like bubbly.

by the way, this is another example of mind mapping as visually that i've taken it from google,

will proceed on mind mapping next week for associates mind mapping

innovation and invention

these topics are some of my previous lecture. those words are kinda similar and at first i thought it has the same meaning as it has similar pronunciation.

but actually innovation and invention has its own meaning. the word invention was followed by innovation.

from what i've learned, invention is those who takes existing knowledge and create new ideas. while innovation is process of making improvement by introducing something new.

now watch these two commercial, start with the 1st one

this is one of the first invention of handphone from Nokia. the least it can do just text messaging and calling. the ringtone was monophonic tone which people eargerly keep changing it for any songs by coding.

now watch this,

see the differences? the Nokia was innovated into 3G which people can do video call. plus, it can use an mp3 as the ringtone, eventhough in the commercial didn't use one. and a lot more interactivity people manage to do such as playing games and mms.

my symbol

well, forgot to mention from last post, mr lecturer was giving us a task to sit in a pair and interview each other. and i chose this girl as my partner

dilla

there were some questions she rained me like...

what does the lecturer looks like from my view?

when will you get married?

what kind of guys do i attract?

what will i do if you know someone talk bad behind my back?

and so on...


and finally she symbolized me with this...

i don't know the whole idea but what she told me some that i have a split personality which is good and bad. that Halo might be is a good side. and the tail might be showing the satan tail which my bad side. the wings...hurmmm i'm not sure about that. maybe i'll ask her later.

post 2; creative tv commercial

this video taken from youtube.com. i chose this video as i find it very interesting and drop dead creative as they used cutie little kids

in my opinion, the kids are the symbol of adult as they drive the car which to show how huge the vehicle is.

but it was banned by Australian government since they used children..i have no idea about that. could it be influence other kids to do the same.

but from the creative side, besides how totally freaking cute the kids are, using the children as material could attract more viewer and they might get influence to get the car, maybe~
