Merry Christmaze~

Announcement:
This is our FINAL GROUP PROJECT FOR THIS SEMESTER~ :D *throws confetti* ♪~congratulations, a celebration~♫

         After coming back from our trip to Pangkor Island, we were buried in tons and TONS of assignments. And also a few end of sem exams. We had to finish off our IDJs and compile them, then hand it in. After we were finished with our other assignments as well, since they were due first, before the game assignment, we could finally start focusing on our life size game. It is... -dan-dan-daaaannn- a maze~ But not just any old normal maze, a maze, with mini games inside. Also, the maze has a theme, as you can probably guess by the name, it is a Christmas theme. There will be two marbles, representing two groups, or two players, and they will have to play through the maze by pushing the marbles through the maze. And if the marble lands and gets stuck on top of a mini game, they will have to play the mini game the marble landed on. Of course, there will be more than one mini game in the whole maze, and each of those mini games is all different. If the player(s) manage to win in the mini game, they can move on to the next maze. The players will have to play like this continuosly throughout the whole maze to get to the finish line. The first team / player to get to the finish line wins the game!! WHEEEEEE~ :D yayyyy end game end gaaammee -oh, is there a prize for the winner, you ask? maaybe... to find out, why don't you come and play our game? :P

Trip to Pangkor Island

   Our latest group assignment is making a life size game. Mr.Charles, our lecturer, had told us about the game long long from the past few months. We had several ideas about what to do but as what we always do, we always change about our idea in the last minute. Mr.Charles did gave us tutorial about the game, we did talk and discuss about it for a several time but then he didn't bring up the life size game topic anymore. We concentrate on doing our IDJ which is the abbreviation of Idea Journal. Few weeks later, we are having a trip, you can call it as an educational trip, to Pangkor Island.
   At Pangkor Island, Our Group, Juxtapose Artist, combine....well you can call it as combine with the The Leads group. We have so much fun but we also have so much burden on trying to crack the mission. The first mission that we get after we had just reach Pangkor Island is that Mr.Charles, which turn to Mr.Black, gave us a piece of paper, containing code which we don't understand. Thanks to Nelson Lim , he break the code and it turned out to be the Mayans Language. Then the next mission is located at another small island that is also located at Pangkor Island which i kinda forgot the name...oopss.... Moving on, at the small island, we are suppose to make a tent that can guard us from rain, storm well the usual condition when we are lost in an island... and it have to be made of natural resources. It is quite hard for our group to make it because almost all the wood had been taken by the other group but in the end we did it and PASSS.. The next thing that we are suppose to make is raft. We had no idea what to use because we got no more material to use so we use our leftover wood and tie it with the leaf and ask Doreen to lay down above it and try it at the sea to see whether it works or not and like usual, our group's idea always work HAHAHA...
  Then we are back at our so called "home" it is a house where we stay during the trip to Pangkor Island. Then at night we are supposed to interview a spirit which is quite crazyyy. Some of the members were quite scared and it is actually quite creepy because it is late at night already, but nevertheless, we still did it and Passed. The next day, we got to go and see the Tiger Rock , the legendary rock that been said to had been growing till now. It is huge and has a carving of a tiger carrying a baby just like what people had said about it. On the last day we are supposed to make a conclusion about what happened to Allan Tagman. We did have several conclusions but we told them one of it and it is not even close to the real conclusion T_T...
   Not to be sad, at night time , we go to the beach to see the blue sand, it's actually sand and got the reflection of the moonlight. Then we go cycling and chat and chat and chat till morning, we have fun time and we actually didn't sleep and wait for the sunrise at the port. We cycle there and after seeing the sunrise, we cycle back to our house and have breakfast then we're back to Taylor's University by bus. We reach Taylor's University quite late , all were so tired and all go back to their own house, BYE BYE...

Music Video Presentation

        For our challage 2, we were tasked to come up with our own music video using metaphors and the the ideas and mind maps we have done based on the theme ' what can you do with and underwear. Our team came up with using the underwear as a teapot cosy, by following this direction, we did some research and we found out that as time pass on, the purpose of tea pot cosy changed from keeping a teapot warm to making the teapot 'wear nice clothe' to make them look more attractive. So by following this direction, we came up with the metaphor: people tends to judge something based on the apearance. This is the Link to our video: Teapot Warmer ( Juxtapose Artist )

Underwear.......

           On the previous lecture, Mr.Charles showed us an effective way of creating a mind map using different color markers. Each color represent a aspect, red represent the feelings, green represent the possibilities, blue represent the consequences, yellow represent the positive/advantage, black represent negativity and white represent the research done on that subject. By using this method we were given a class activity to draw out a mind map based on the topic what can you do with an underwear. He gave us a limited time period to come up with the whole idea. After that, based on the mind map and decision we make, we are required to make a music video out of the concept 'what can you do with and underwear'.

THE POTATIA & POTATO GOD

           Based on the interpretation for the metaphor, we have come up witht his tory/ slash reality called The Potatia & The Potato God. The story goes like this :


           When the humans were 1st born into the world, they were weak and had a short lifespan, born only to die within a few days. After seeing how terrible the human had suffers, the compasion Potato God decent and bestow upon them the 3 pillars of infinite potato, by eating these unlimited supplies of potato, the human became healthy and their life span has been extend. The thank the potato god, worship and give offering to the potato god as the potato god has allow the human to live longer. However, as time passed, the human began to take the unlimited supplies of potato for granted adn started to misused it. The human twisted the healthy potato into junk food, which damage their health and shorten their life span, however the huamn doesn't care and continue misusing it, the Potato god was sadden by the humans, he ascend to the heaven and forsake the human.....


          This story shows how something that was meant to be good can also be used in a bad way, and how human are not grateful with what they have.
