With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
I feel that my proudest moment was when I managed to finally compose the song. I felt proud as the song fulfilled my criterion and allowed my partner to write suitable lyrics for the song.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I feel that my greatest challenge was trying to compose the song. This was because the music pieces online were either too complex and difficult for us to handle or of a genre which we had yet to master, hence, I had to try to think of creative melodies that would sound unique to our song.
What I have learnt and appreciated:
I have learnt how to navigate my way through music-making platforms like GarageBand. I appreciate that I have the opportunity to be creative and create any type of sound that I desire to fit the theme / topic which I wish to convey, in my case of my love for local cuisine. With my newly-equipped skills of GarageBand, I am able to use these skills in the future when I may need to create an original soundtrack / song for my projects.

Creativity:
Firstly, I need to master the basic skills needed before I can try to modify the recipes. I can search online for other recipes and adapt from those to fit the criterion.
Project Management:
I will ensure that the work between my partner and me is divided equally and that we make good use of the space, ie. I will be frying on the stove while she mixes flour to make dough.

# data[].attributes.body
With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
I think that my proudest moment was when I managed to complete my artwork. I had used stenciling to draw and paint the images of legs and that was rather exhausting, hence, I was rather proud that I had managed to complete my artpiece with some of the skills that I was taught.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I think that my greatest challenge was trying to keep to the given time to complete all my tasks before the deadline. It was quite time-consuming when I was painting the images of legs that represents the bystanders, and thus, I had to rush to complete the rest of the drawing.

Major
3. Style:
A marching style that is upbeat and cheerful; majestic, grand, have a very rousing feel (victory parade etc.)
4. Why do we prefer to play this song outdoors more than indoors?
The song is loud in dynamics, and the song is very bright with the heavy use of brass and cymbals. Thus, the temble of the instruments and the loud music are more suited for outdoors.

I learnt how to fry an omelette as I have never fried an egg before. I also learnt that I must be organised and learn how to manage my time properly. For example, I should start frying my omelette and scrambled eggs while I boil my hard-boiled egg.

1. Mrs Lee's cupcakes do not differ much in apppearance with my cupcakes. The texture of it is a little hard on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Mrs Lee's cupcakes are healthier as they have less sugar and butter. Thus, it is less sweet and oily.
2. I prefer Mrs Lee's cupcakes as I usually dislike eating sweet things and eat quite blandly at home, so I feel that the cupcakes which I had baked was too sweet.
3. Use less sugar and butter. Add fruits such as raisins and blueberries. Try not to add cocoa powder and have plain cupcakes.

How have I performed during the test:
1. Organisation - I have been systematic as I know how to proceed with the recipe without referring to it.
2. Time Management - I make good use of my time as I am able to complete my dish and washing up of utensils within an hour.
3. Manipulation - I mixed the flour and the yeast together to form a dough and knead the dough so that the yeast will be evenly distributed in the dough. Then, I spread the dough over the greased baking pan before filling it with topping.
4. Product - There was not enough time for me to bake the dough blind and hence, the base of the pizza was a bit undercooked. Other than that, the toppings on the pizza added colour to the dish as the pineapples gave a sweet flavour to the plain pizza.
5. Presentation - There was a balance of colour which was complemented by the green bell pepppers and parsely, which made the dish look more aesthetically pleasing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In what ways have you met the task demands?
I managed to create a dish that is healthier within the given time.
2. Reflect on the practical test session.

Did you face difficulties? How did you overcome them?

I faced some difficulty in managing my time well as I had insufficient time to bake blind my pizza dough, resulting in a slightly undercooked pizza.

How would you have done it differently?

I would have planned my time better and practised more at home before the cooking test so that I would be able to finish my task well on the day itself.

3. Reflect on the food blogging process.

How useful were the nutritional tools?

The nutritional tools were not very helpful for me as I did not refer to it much when reflecting on the dishes I have made.

How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?

The manipulative skills were relatively manageable for me as I have not cooked before and this cooking module is the first time where I have created dishes which are simple to follow.

How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come
up with your final creation?

The investigative activities on the half-fat cupacke and full-fat cupcake helped me realise that I can make a dish healthier by cutting down on some of the ingredients like sugar, butter etc. or using a healthier option to replace the original recipe.

Possible Ideas to Represent Music:
At the start, we can bend down and tiptoe around. As the pace and tempo of the song gradually gets difficult, our walking pace can get faster until we are running.

# data[].attributes.body
There is music-making present in the scene as there is rhythm and soft and loud dynamics are present in the song. The cacaphony of sounds create a pattern and the tempo of the sounds also create something like a melody / beat.

Title: We are the Foodies
Composed by: Kylie & Prisha
Lyrics by: Prisha

We are the foodies

We love to eat

Cos it’s Singapore

And its the food paradise

Sometimes, life can get tough

But it’s alright,

because there’s food

We have the LAKSA, CHILLI CRAB, CHAR KWAY TEOW

The SATAY and the NASI LEMAK

OOH YUMMY

We got the Singapore cuisine

Oh yeah...alright come and join the foodies
Oh...what a rich heritage

In Singapore about food

Oh yeah...come and join us

Because food is yummy

But it must be healthy

Coz nutrition is important

And that’s the point of this song (We are the foodies

We love to eat

Cos it’s Singapore

And its the food paradise)

And we are the foodies

I really enjoyed this activity as I was able to exercise my creativity and fill in the empty spaces between each strip of paper with unique and eccentric features.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this activity was really interesting and a joy to complete as I enjoyed the process of sketching and then drawing scenes of unexpected features into a picture. I feel that this activity allows me to see how digital technology can be combined with hands-on drawings to create art.

1. I had applied symmetrical composition by using symmetrical images of legs to portray the scene of bystanders watching as the incident unfolds.
2. I have used Rhythm & Repetition by using the same colours to denote the skin colours of people. I have also used the same colours and shape to show the image of phones.
3. I have used Contrast by having a dark background that is contrasted with the light peach-colour of human skin.

My artwork is a social commentary about how technology has made people more distant and society a colder and less warm place. The artpiece depicts a girl who has fallen and is lying on the ground, unable to get up. However, the bystanders do not help her and instead, they are whipping out their phones to upload this incident on social media.

1. I wish to improve on my drawing skills and use of textures. I should have incorporated more texture to make my drawings more varied and colourful.
2. I am most satisfied with my effective use of stenciling.
