About my project

a194659 — 2023-07-16 14:40:58 UTC

The main objective of my project, "Cook More, Save More," is to encourage people to cook their own meals in order to save money. Cooking at home can result in significant savings compared to eating out. One of the advantages of cooking is that you can prepare larger quantities of food and store leftovers for future meals. This means you can enjoy the same dish twice a day without having to spend additional money on separate meals. Additionally, cooking allows us to control the portion sizes according to our needs and it can help to minimise food waste.

To assist others in their cooking endeavors, I have created a collection of simple recipes that are easy to follow and require basic ingredients. These recipes are designed to be accessible and budget-friendly, allowing individuals to enjoy delicious homemade meals without spending too much money.

🎨✨About My Project 🌈🌟

a194517 — 2023-07-17 09:58:54 UTC

I wanted to welcome myself and others to the captivating world of messy play, where creativity knows no bounds and sensory exploration comes to life! 🌱🤗 The Artful Mess Explorers Project is a celebration of the transformative power of messy play and its profound impact on children's holistic development. Through a series of engaging activities, informative infographics, and practical tips, this project aims to inspire parents, therapists, and caregivers to unlock the full potential of messy play in children's lives. 🌟🎉

🎨 The Wonder of Messy Play: Messy play is more than just a delightful mess—it's a journey of imagination, self-expression, and sensory exploration. Children and adults 🤧 engage their senses, experiment with different materials, and discover the joy of tactile experiences. From squishing vibrant rice in a Rainbow Rice Bin to exploring the fluffy art of Shaving Cream, each activity offers a world of tactile delight, nurturing creativity and imagination. 🌈🖌️

💬 Language and Communication: Dive into the magic of language expansion as messy play provides ample opportunities for vocabulary building and expressive language development. Through storytelling, descriptive language, and social interaction, children learn to express themselves confidently and engage in imaginative play. 🗣️💡

🤝 Fostering Social Interaction: Messy play isn't just about getting messy—it's a fantastic platform for fostering social skills and collaboration. Working in groups or pairs, children learn to take turns, share materials, and communicate with their peers. Speech therapists and caregivers can facilitate conversations, encourage collaboration, and model appropriate social behaviour or during these sessions. 🗣️🤗

🗺️ Unleashing Creativity and Desensitisation: Messy play is an artistic journey where children learn to experiment, make choices, and unleash their creativity. For those with sensory sensitivities, messy play serves as a desensitisation tool, gradually exposing them to different textures and sensations, contributing to improved tolerance and self-regulation. 🧊🎨

🧩 Cognitive Development: Engage in ice excavations or play with the fascinating non-Newtonian fluid, oobleck! Each adventure nurtures problem-solving abilities, supports mathematical and scientific concepts through exploration and experimentation, and enhances cognitive development. 🧊💡

👩‍🍳 Practical Tips for Messy Play Organizing: Learn to set up designated play areas, choose the right materials, and involve your child in planning their messy play adventures. With clear storage containers and sensory breaks in between, embracing mess has never been easier! 🌈👕

🌟 Incorporating Messy Play into Therapy: Explore how occupational therapy embraces sensory integration, fine motor skills, and bilateral coordination through messy play. Witness the marvel of speech therapy, where language development flourishes through targeted articulation practice, storytelling, and social interaction. 🗣️🧩

🤩 The Artful Mess Explorers Project is all about celebrating the magic of messy play and empowering parents, therapists, and caregivers to unleash their child's full potential. So, let's roll up our sleeves, paint with our hands, and embark on a thrilling journey of learning, growth, and messy play adventures! Together, let's create unforgettable memories and set their imagination free! 🌟🎨✨

Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of messy play? Get ready to unleash your child's creativity and explore sensory wonders like never before! Messy play is not just about getting a little dirty—it's a journey of imagination, self-expression, and sensory exploration. 🌟🌱

In this colorful realm of creativity, children engage their senses, experiment with different materials, and discover the joy of tactile experiences. It's a chance for them to squish, squeeze, and splash their way to endless possibilities. 🖌️🤗
Messy play is more than just a delightful mess—it is a catalyst for holistic development. As children paint with their hands, mix various textures, and create their masterpieces, they develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities. It's a canvas where imagination blooms, and problem-solving skills flourish. 🎨✨

But messy play isn't just reserved for designated playtime—it can be woven into our everyday routines. From finger painting during bath time to exploring different textures while baking, we can infuse sensory exploration into the fabric of our lives.

These moments become cherished memories, nurturing bonds and fostering language development as we describe the textures, colors, and sensations together. 🗣️💡

DANCE IT 💃🏼💐

Mentor : Dr Tim

🌼Why Dancing?🌼

a1948081 — 2023-07-17 16:22:28 UTC

Before I entered UKM, I had only danced on stage once since kindergarten. I didn't try out dancing in primary school, nor did I in secondary school because of a few things. One, I was shy to "bust a move" in front of so many eyes. Two, I was afraid to try out something new. And three, I was afraid of my seniors 💀 However, somewhere deep inside me, I knew that I was missing out on so much.

Then one day, I knew that I had to give this a try. It was the Malam Pengenalan Kelab at KTSN and I saw a few modern dance performances and I was shocked at how well they danced 🤩 A performance like that required practice of at least every day for two weeks. The most important thing that made me finally want to give it a go was the fact that here, at KTSN, they embrace new talents 💞💞 Usually, people only want to recruit students with prior experience in a certain field. The people in Kelab Sanggar Seni, however, were super excited to let everyone have a try at learning and practicing art 🤗

Since then, I can say that the Bilik Tarian had become my haven on days when I felt low and of no value 🍃 I could dance for four hours at night, wake up the next day with my whole body aching and still be so pumped up for practice again. It feels like home with dancing.

I believe that dancing is a medicine and I want to share this experience with everyone 💫 I hope that each of us can find haven in hobbies and activities, whether it be dancing, singing, playing sports, hiking, cycling, weaving, or crocheting, I know that each of us should have something that inspires us to keep moving and enjoying our life. With this Life Crafts project, I marked dancing as mine💗

ETERNIF Performance 💥

a1948081 — 2023-07-17 16:34:16 UTC

So, I may love dancing. I also enjoy performing very much!! 🪩 I was super excited when my best friend, Farisha, asked to team up with me to prepare a very outstanding and difficult performance for an event called Entrepreneurs' Jamboree a.k.a ETERNIF. 👯‍♀️

🌎 We had to prepare an international dance performance, so we combined western pop and k-pop into a 6-minute dance performance. We chose the songs 24K and Finesse by Bruno Mars, As If It's Your Last by Blackpink, and a mashup of the song I'm The Best by 2NE1. ✨

It took us one whole month to prepare for this performance, and as it wasn't for a competition, we definitely had so much fun! 🤩 Some of the steps were copied entirely from videos on YouTube with some added hints of uniqueness by each member of the team while others were choreographed completely from scratch. 😎

Please enjoy this video of my journey to ETERNIF! 🍿

🥀ICAF Performance🥀

a1948081 — 2023-07-19 15:05:23 UTC

This performance was such a blast!! 🤩 I became one of the team members for a competition at university level for an event named Intercollege Arts Festival ✨ at UKM. There were 2 parts for this competition; 70% of the marks were allocated for traditional dance and 30% for the dance battle (modern dance) 🕺🏼🕺🏼.

We had a total of 8 members for traditional dance and out of the 8, 4 were chosen to join the dance battle. I had the opportunity to learn Tarian Zapin Tanjung Labuh from an amazing teacher, Cikgu Fariz ❣️ As for the dance battle, we had to go head to head against Kolej Keris Mas to the song Fire by BTS ❤️‍🔥.

We started practice quite late due to the lack of participants. 8 members was the minimum number of dancers and we lacked 2 people 😔. But in the end, we managed to recruit 2 more dancers and the results were amazing!! 💗💗 I sincerely hope more people will be interested in joining traditional dance in the future (especially boys).

Enjoy the video!! 💫💫

About the project

My project was a presentation on the relationship between fast food and the environment.

The reason why I became interested in this topic, I was one of the people who was originally interested in food. And then I realized how devastated the environment was and how serious it was when I took Dr. Hasherah's class. Therefore, I wanted to find out how fast food that we often consume will affect the environment.

I found the factory farming and plastic waste are the main causes.

Therefore, I introduced the current amount of plastic waste and the seriousness of these wastes in the international society, and also announced how factory-style livestock pollutes the environment through card news and videos I made.

Based on these results, i delivered my opinion to reduce fast food and to participate in the Zero Waste Challenge on my project.

Project Title: Zero-Waste: A Guide of Reducing Waste at Home
Our Beloved Mentor: Dr. Shobha Sharma

This project was inspired by Dr. Hasherah's topic on the environment.

The aim of our project is to share with yall on simple ways to reduce waste at home.

After some research, we found that food waste is a global issue. This got us thinking on sharing some interesting ways to reuse food scraps which will in turn contribute significantly to the environment. It starts at home after all!

Reusing food scraps can offer a range of benefits, from reducing waste and conserving resources to promoting sustainable practices.

Food scraps represent a significant portion of the waste generated in households, restaurants, and food industries. By reusing these scraps, we divert them from landfills, where they would decompose and produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Reusing food scraps, such as vegetable peels and fruit rinds, can save water, energy, and other resources that would otherwise be used to produce and transport new food products.

There are many more benefits of reusing food scraps and we just hope that you would somehow join in our effort to save mother earth 💗

Now it's your turn to try! 📹🧑‍🍳

The sea, a vast expanse of blue, teeming with life, holds an indispensable role in maintaining the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. From providing a home to diverse marine life to regulating our climate, the oceans are vital for life on Earth. Unfortunately, human activities have led to severe threats to our seas, jeopardizing their health and the well-being of countless species. It is crucial for everyone to emphasize the importance of preserving our oceans and discuss various ways we can work together to save the sea.

These day people did not have emotion towards the destructive that happen to the environment. How heartbroken it is to see the reality that is happening to our world. After listening to Dr. Hasherah sharing, it opens our eyes and had left impact in ourselves to share awareness to others. We choose to share about the sea pollution. There are many factors that lead to sea pollution after doing some research. However, various kinds of solution to prevent sea pollution have been shared on the internet that we can follow. Together we protect those beautiful life creatures in the sea for us now and also to our future.

About the project

jagjonker — 2023-07-20 15:36:08 UTC

Why art?
During the lecture about art as a life craft, I immediately felt a single lecture was not enough to encapsulate how much art is and how diverse art can be, but it was a great lecture to serve as an introduction and motivated me to explore it further.

Why this topic?
It felt natural to look at my own current situation through this format, with that situation being exposed to a different setting and a different culture. By looking at it from another, artistic, point of view, I hoped it would give me some perspective and understand myself better. And so I delved into the various aspects the different culture, trying to look at them individually to understand the overall culture and cultural differences better.

Why poems?
I gravitated towards using words as the medium right at the start, as I have dabbled in painting and drawing in the past and I wanted to try something different (also, living in a small room in a shared building does not give that much space for big drawings or paintings). Additionally, I have a brother that is a drama teacher, who writes short stories, poems and plays quire regularly. While I never really tried writing seriously myself, I have seen him do it and I was curious to try it myself. So, I mentioned I wanted to either go for (short) stories or poems to dr. Fatimah, and she suggested I focus on the message first and the medium later. So, that is what I did, but after a few attempts at writing a short story I felt I was forcing myself to use more words than necessary, and I actually loved challenging myself to use less words and rhyming words to still convey the message I wanted to send.

I uploaded this video as the first video of my project.

In this short video, I showed a peep of jellyfish when I visited aquaria 2 years ago. There is honestly no deep meaning behind this other than me showing that life is full of beautiful things. The only difference is whether they’re being recorded or not. Sure some people believe that watching with raw eyes is more meaningful but isn’t it nice if we can look back at pretty things again and again and again and never get bored? So raise your phone or camera and capture this moment.

Then, I also included clips of people in my life. There’s one of my younger brother who is still very present in my life, and a high school friend that I used to meet everyday but not anymore. The thing with human connection is no matter how long we are separated or even if we go into the weird phase where we avoid human interactions, the right person will always be able to make you laugh as if the distance was never even there. You see, losing people is something that we will experience and it is fine to take some time and learn how to live without them.

However, not matter the circumstances, I think we as our own person should be able to live freely. Do all the things we want to do and never look back. What done is done. The happiness, sadness or even anger are already engraved deep within you with no way out. So what we can do is live life to the fullest and create more lovable memories while we can.

Brief Description & Overall thought on the project:
Expressing my love through photography, this set of photos highlights the elegance, bravery, calmness with the scenery as well.

In essence, this project highlights what craft I was able to create during my life, or which craft did I brought light to.

I hope to be able to answer who I am to myself, and share who am I to the world as well. I am not a fond person of sharing much about myself, thus through the showcase it has granted me a pedastal to display this art.

Reflection

The topic
Delving into culture through this project forced me to divide it into different aspects that make up culture and then explore these individual parts. Ultimately, I chose Food, People, Religion, Language, Art, Music, History & Tradition as the major components of culture, but there are various others such as architecture or flora and fauna that is present etc. that contribute to culture. I think that exploring this topic let me to better understand others and understanding each other is vital for good communication and working together.

The process
During the process of writing the poems I asked for feedback from a couple of exchange students that were experiencing a similar situation, but I regret not asking for more feedback on the actual content, either from my peers within this course or my mentor. Their view would have given a more complete image or an 'inside perspective' into Malaysian culture. Initially I thought it was good to approach the task from my own perspective or that of people in a similar situation, but in retrospect approaching it from multiple angles would have made the poems more complete, but also made my understanding more complete.

The presentation
The life crafts showcase was amazing, it was great to see so how diverse people can make their projects and how much more there is to explore in terms of hobby's and crafts; something that I have personally been missing these last few years. I thought the way the showcase was structured was very nice as it gave the freedom for everyone to interact with each others work without putting extra pressure; for instance due to having everyone give a presentation.
-During the showcase some people gave feedback by sharing their thoughts, poems or lyrical sentences they enjoy or even some poems of their own. Thank you all!

Love Language ♡︎

In this video, you can see that I have made a compilation of what I’ve eaten. Well, it’s a form of love language in my life.

Growing up, my mom would always cook for us without fail. And me being clueless, I wondered why would she cook when it is easier to just order takeaways. Silly me.

When I started to cook simple fried eggs for my dad, he would praise me, without fail even if there’s tons of egg shells in it, and that made me feel appreciated. And I started to understand my mom.

My mom was a teacher so she woke up early in the morning to start her day. I overlooked her efforts of providing us with foods all the time. Even when she’s tired or upset or just want to sleep, she always cook for us, both voluntarily and upon requests. That’s one of the many things I learned from her.

Now, as an adult, I always try my best to help people. Even if I can’t help them physically, I know that by merely being present could help someone a lot. So I did that. And I also understand the feeling of being seen when people actually remember small details about us. So I did that. When I see something and am reminded of someone, I’ll get that for them.

For me, love language is very important. It’s to make one feel appreciated, seen, heard and loved. Hence why whenever I feel that I am full of love, I share it with others, in various ways.

In a gist of all chaos, and beauty it brings.
I believe that this showcase was a gallery on who we are.

The joy of sharing, and accepting. A beautiful component towards strangers which might have not had enough time to know who we truly are, and who truly can be.

The ability to learn, adapt and to showcase yourself all and all, in itself is a sense of art. This subject provided enough fluidity to allow this to blossom, where no borders were place, and that no art was framed. It has allowed me to perfectly showcase myself and my art on a stage higher than ever before, and for that I Thank You.

The joy of learning something new about others, and seeing that similarity in our own lives talks and shows how different people will be able to connect with our similarities one way or another. It was delightful and honourable to learn that Aqilah and I share the same passion for photography, and that I could invite Harissa and Wani as models! At the same time, learning that Rashi has a great sense of art style, Meow has a good set of hands! Adlina shares the same nature roots which I love, and many more. It was a wonderful and amazing journey, which I enjoyed every single minute of it!

I would like to thank Dr. Yaz again! The courage of showcasing, who I am, to be proud of myself & my talent, has never been strongly displayed. I am shy to show my true abilities, always afraid that they may be seen as a hostile, doscile act. However, the amount of love and admiration received through the project has provided me with immense confidence. To be able to weave through my thoughts and anxieties, to comfort myself that my victory is here, and has always been. For that, I am grateful.

As we learn to embrace others, and how different perspectives come to light. It's important to always bring an open mind, where there is always 40% Fun 40% Chaos and 20% Planning. The plans might never go according to plan, but it is a plan and it has definitely foresee preventable measures, but it can't forsee the amount of fun, as well as the opportuities that arise from chaos. Chaos which might always be seen negatively, in this sense, is just a method and another option for chaos and other opportunities to step in. I'm happy that I allowed chaos to brew, while doing what I can and not stressing about those that I can't. I was happy with how everything laid out, people move, change and act differently. Thus, as a professional the ability to adapt to all, or to many, is an important skill and art to be able to enjoy the chaos in the journey.

Lastly, it has been great to be able to take charge and to guide everyone towards the final showcase! It shows how passion may be the fuel for the stepping stones, but it is the support and effort of the community that makes it work. I belive it's hard to have an effective and efficient group, things don't go together sometimes, neither does life do. In these moments, I am grateful to have a supportive friend, a comrade, and someone who understands! I am grateful for those who acknowledge the hardships and strength it took, to initiate the project. I am sincerely flattered, as not all will have the blessing of having those who understand the weight to carry something, but in this case. I didn't, there was no burden nor weight. I enjoyed every single moment, and I've learnt to actually do my best and let the rest, and trust the others to fall into place.

This session has been tremendously well in gaining mental insight, being able to be given the actual battleground as a simulation to understand the differences and the complex baackgrounds and thoughts behind an organisation, and how to effecitively built it up. For this, I am grateful for each and every second, for allowing me the opportunity to showcase myself.

and with this, I end it with a quote.

Life is a craft itself, and learning how to showcase it, is our challenge.

What’s your sky ☁︎︎

The sky is a safe place for me especially when it looks delicious enough to eat or when it’s purple or when the sunlight is beaming through it breaking down the colours that were unseen.

When I am feeling upset, I look at the sky and talk to myself. When I am feeling happy, I look at the pretty purple sky and boom I instantly feel a thousand times happier. Or when I feel empty, I look at the sky and suddenly I am reminded of the million things that happened or could happen under the sky and just like that the sky amazes me.

The reason why I decided to rant about the sky is simple and I’ve mentioned it before. The sky is my safe place.

Personally, I think everyone should have their own safe place. It is good for our mental health, which is something very fragile. You do not have to choose the sky as you safe place, anything could be! I just think that it’s nice to have a medium where you can safely express yourself and your emotions, both positive and negative. Humans, we’re like balloons. We can only hold so much before we explode. I’m not saying that explosion is bad but just imagine this. If we fill a balloon with something negative, maybe small cut up papers, and we pop the balloon. The small papers that were inside the balloon could give other paper cuts. Just like balloons, if we have our safe place where there’s no harm or sharp objects that can hurt us, we can carefully release what we kept hidden without potentially hurting others.

So, be brave. Embrace your weakness, be patient and look for your safe place. I promise it’s worth it.

💬 A language of emotion and creativity: Beads are not mere objects but carriers of stories waiting to be told. Through their vast array of shapes, sizes, and materials, they become a language of their own. By selecting specific beads and arranging them in a particular order, one can convey emotions, experiences, and personal narratives. Beading allows for an artistic expression that goes beyond words.

🧠 A journey of patience, focus, and precision:
Beading is a practice that demands patience and dedication. It teaches individuals the value of perseverance, as each bead is carefully placed with precision and care. The process of creating intricate patterns requires unwavering attention to detail, cultivating patience and nurturing a deep sense of focus.

💆🏻‍♀️🫂 A spiritual and emotional journey of healing and release:
Beads making can be an incredibly therapeutic hobby that can help you to unwind after a long day.

When words fail to express emotions, beading becomes a channel for release and healing. The repetitive motion of threading beads offers solace and catharsis, allowing buried feelings to surface and find a resolution. Beading provides a safe space for emotional expression, enabling individuals to process and navigate through life’s joys and sorrows.

🎨👩🏼‍🎨 A means of self-discovery, passion, and artistic expression:
Engaging in beading is an introspective journey, leading individuals to discover hidden facets of their being. As one explores different bead combinations and techniques, one also uncovers layers of their own identity. Beading becomes a mirror, reflecting personal strengths, passions, and aspirations.

how to play frisbee?

farishaffan27 — 2023-07-20 17:15:36 UTC

Ultimate frisbee is a popular recreational activity and sport played with a flying disc, commonly known as a frisbee. The main objective of the game is to throw the disc accurately to teammates while attempting to score points by getting it into the opposing team's goal area. The game is typically played outdoors and is enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. It promotes physical activity, teamwork, and friendly competition, making it a fun and engaging pastime for individuals and groups alike. Frisbee offers a great way to enjoy the outdoors, stay active, and socialize with others while having a good time.

✨About My Project✨

a194883 — 2023-07-20 21:09:55 UTC

Choosing to undertake the task of creating 4 daily vlogs as my final project was a decision driven by my personal interests and aspirations. Firstly, my enjoyment of watching vlogs on YouTube and Red played a significant role in my choice. I found myself captivated by the lives of others, especially during meal times, where vloggers seemed to exhibit boundless efficiency, as if they had 48 hours in a day. This fascination, in turn inspired me to delve into the world of vlogging myself, capturing and documenting my own daily experiences.

Moreover, the topic of time management, introduced by Dr. Chu, resonated deeply with me. Admittedly, I had never planned my days ahead, often struggles with inefficiency in managing my time. This course provided a golden opportunity to delve into this area, cultivate vital time management skills, and learn effective strategies to optimise my daily routine.

Beyond these personal reasons, the idea of starting a vlog had been lingering in my mind for quite some time. Despite this desire, I had hesitated to take the first step. This course served as the catalyst for me to finally embark on this creative endeavour. The supportive and nurturing environment encouraged me to seize the moment and realise my long-held desire.

Furthermore, my appreciation for embracing the moments that shape each day and living life to the fullest further solidified my choice. Through vlogging, I saw the potential to capture and cherish these treasured experiences, fostering a deeper appreciation for life's simple joys.

As I look back on my project, I realised that it has not only provided me with a platform to share my daily life but has also empowered me to utilise my time more effectively. This newfound capability motivated me to continue vlogging in the future, as I aspire to document my journey and personal growth, capture the essence of living life to its fullest, and perhaps inspire others to embrace the beauty of life like I did. 💫

Why I choose this project?

HazwaniRosni — 2023-07-21 02:26:15 UTC

Nature.
I always wondering why it is important for us to take care of our nature?? WHY??
But then, I came across this documentary called Eden: Untamed Planet. I have deeply falling in love with the documentary. I love and enjoying every episode even I need to watch it using illegal website. I also watched this tv show called Whale Wars. Based on that tv show, I can see how cruel human can be. The team filming on how some people whaling the whale without pity because some of the believes and traditions. My statement can sound harsh but that the reality.

Back to our documentary, Eden : Untamed Planet
Based on that documentary produce BBC Earth, I see so many unique creatures and place that seem unfamiliar to us. The place was to beautiful and full with life. That innocent animal deserved better but we human keep demanding without thinking the consequences that the animals might faces.

Yes, I do agree that we need more spaces because our population is increasing but we cannot denied that that innocent animal also need it. Just because they cannot speak or fight for their right, we can just ignore them and fulfil our greed. Animal also deserves to live and love.

In Malaysia, deforestation activities keep increasing day by day but there such a low action taken to stop it. From my own experience, I saw some amount of trees near my kampung being cut down just to open a big restaurant. I don't think it appropriate but yeahh it business.

Maybe I just nobody but I'm hoping that with my little gesture we can at least help to give awareness and impact to others.

🌸About my project & the presentation slides 🌸

a193931 — 2023-07-21 10:58:00 UTC

🌸 🌸 🌸This "Folded Petals: A Sustainable Floral Alternative" project explores the art of origami as a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional fresh-cut flower industry. The ''folded petal'' means the origami paper can be turned into the petals of real, fresh flowers. Through this project, I aim to raise awareness about the significant environmental impact of the fresh flower industry on our beloved environment while promoting origami flowers as a meaningful and sustainable alternative to fresh flowers to show our affection. 🌸 🌸

You are invited to go thru my presentation slides to get more structural understanding on my project.

Enjoy!

🌸The Journey of getting the inspiration🌸

a193931 — 2023-07-21 11:36:36 UTC

🌺I was inspired in one of the lectures by our lecturer, Dr. Hasherah Mohd Ibrahim, in this course when she asked us to think about the environmental issues around us. As a nature lover, I accidentally noticed the impact of the fresh flower industry on our environment after reading tones of posts on social media that stated many expensive bouquets were discarded after Valentine's Day.🌺

🌺 Venturing into more research, I was astounded by the impacts fresh cut flowers have on the environment and our well-being. Determined to make a difference, I set out to find a way to engage others and offer eco-conscious alternatives to the tradition of gifting flowers to draw people's attention to this topic.🍃🍃🍃

So, I started to figure out a solution to this topic and an attractive way to make people engage with my project better. On the journey to finding the idea, I was drawn back to my childhood memories. My grandmother was a flower and gardening enthusiast. I fondly recall sitting with her on a rocking chair, making origami which I would never be able to remember how to make without her guidance, and listening to her stories. These memories filled my heart with warmth and joy, and I deeply treasured our time together.🌺🍃

Since the time has passed, I am growing bigger, there is no longer such a story to listen to, and it has been such a long time I didn't make origami. As this Life craft course had provided me with a chance, the desire to revive this heartfelt craft, cherish new memories with others, and contribute to the well-being of our Earth ignited within me.💖

🌺🍃🌸 This project is very meaningful to me as it was a chance for me to make a connection with my childhood memories and create new memories with new groups of people, and most importantly, I am able to do something to save my beloved mother earth. Although I am spending more than an hour on only a flower, I was willing to do so as the marks and time spent are not more important than the passion to share.🌺🍃

🌸 🌸 🌸I hope that you will also enjoy making your own origami flower and let a sustainable and bright future bloom in each part of our earth and in each of your hearts. 🌸 🌎🌸💖

Why Nature?

a1961211 — 2023-07-21 12:44:48 UTC

Studying in a city, I often find myself looking out for nature - wanting to be surrounded by greenery, roofed by the blue sky itself, and admire the flora and fauna.

Nature, it reminds me of home.

It reminds me of my family's garden when the flowers bloom and give colours to the white and grey walls of my house, when the ripples of water from the koi pond fill the comfortable silence in the porch, and when my kitten comes asking for head rubs and scratches.

Love,
Adlina

Have you ever seen a clown or someone making balloons of various shapes like flowers, dogs, swords, and many more anywhere? 🤡

Have you ever wondered how they make those balloons?🤔

So in my project, I want to show how to model balloons easily. The activity of modelling balloons is very interesting and enjoyable. Besides, there are also many benefits we can get from this activity.🎈✨

🎈Did you know that modelling balloons can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity that can help you unwind and relieve stress? 😮
The repetitive twisting and shaping actions involved in balloon modelling can have a calming effect on both the mind and body.

🦦We can also unleash our imagination and creativity to create various shapes, animals, and objects with balloons in this activity. Besides that, twisting and shaping balloons can also improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.🤗

🐾When we model balloons, we will feel more confident because, during the twisting and shaping process, we might be afraid that the balloon will pop. But when we succeed, we will feel confident in ourselves.🤩

🎈Modelling balloons is indeed a fascinating and exciting activity, not only for children but also for adults.🎈

I'd say that the sheer joy and laughter shared by participants while modeling balloons made it a heartwarming and memorable experience. 💖🤗

🌸My reflection 🌸

a193931 — 2023-07-21 15:47:09 UTC

WHY SHOULD WE LOVE THE OCEAN

a191512 — 2023-07-21 15:48:06 UTC

1. IT PROVIDES US WITH FOOD.

Global fish consumption has skyrocketed over the past decades. On average, a person eats four times as much fish today than in 1950. In fact, fish and seafood are the main source of protein for four out of ten people in the world. That's why we have to make sure our ocean stays healthy, and fisheries are managed responsibly.

2. It protectS us from climate change.

The ocean plays an important role in regulating our planet's weather and climate. It absorbs, stores and slowly releases large quantities of heat reaching us from the sun. Ocean currents help to distribute this heat around the world and thereby shape the climate of different continents. In addition, the ocean absorb nearly one-third of the carbon dioxide emissions we produce, which serves as a buffer for climate change impacts. However, increasing carbon dioxide emissions pose a threat to our ocean.

3. It gives us jobs.

Our ocean contributes around US $3 trillion per year to the global economy. From fishing, to shipping, to tourism - the ocean and its vast ecosystem provides an income for every tenth person in the world. Surging pollution of marine habitats by humans does not only spoil beautiful shorelines and underwater scenery for tourists, but also causes significant harm to many marine species.

4. It Generates the air we breathe.

In fact, over half of the oxygen that we breathe originates from the ocean. Small marine plants like phytoplankton produce oxygen that enters our atmosphere. Protecting marine habitats where these plants grow is therefore extremely important for life on land as well.

5. IT'S HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT CREATURES.

Our ocean is life. Literally. Over 4 billion years ago, the first-ever life forms developed in the ocean. By now, over 200,000 distinct species have been identified, but we're far from done exploring. Researchers discover new marine species on a daily basis. However, despite the vast biodiversity underwater, only a little over 5% of the ocean is protected. See why this is a problem.

6. IT GIVES US FRESH WATER TO DRINK.

Through the cycle of evaporation, the ocean regulates our fresh water supply. When water evaporates from the ocean surface, it rises into the atmosphere as vapor. Upon colliding with colder air, the water vapor forms clouds and rain, which then provides us with irrigation and drinking water.

7. It shapes and inspires our cultures and traditions.

Growing up by the ocean has a profound impact on peoples' lives. It often defines what you eat, where you work, and how you spend your free time. Without a healthy ocean, many traditions of peoples around the world will be lost forever. That's why we teamed up with Australian singer-songwriter and ocean-lover Cody Simpson to spread the word about the current state of our ocean.

Thank you everyone for joining me in creating these beautiful beads bracelets. Your positive feedback has made it a fun day. I appreciate your enthusiasm and involvement 🐣

Why I chose to do this project.

a194688 — 2023-07-22 15:53:11 UTC

I'll be really honest here. I didn't know what to do for my Life Crafts project. Nothing in life seemed to pique my interests. It's the same things every day, same issues being brought up again, and again. We've been talking about food and nature since primary school. Then there's financial stuffs and time management. I wasn't interested in any of these. Which really made me sad. I remember being a girl who was so excited to learn about life, to grow up and become an amazing woman like I've always seen in books and TV shows. I couldn't wait to finally be able to make change for the world. I thought I was capable of that.

But as I grew, I feel more powerless as each day goes by. Every time I feel like I achieved something good, I see someone BETTER than me. There's always someone better. Now I'm a grown woman but I cannot do even the simplest thing like taking a walk around my neighbourhood. Now I'm a grown woman with so much potential to be great but all they see walking around is an object. I want to be strong and independent. I want to go and travel the world and meet new people. But even with just one step I take out of my house, I get harassed. I get followed. I get blocked. Even when I said no, they'd follow me. Even when I physically push them away, they'd stay close to me.

I'm not asking for much power. I just want to be able to dress cute for myself and take a cute walk around and enjoy the things around me. But I feel as if I can't even do that. Nobody's stopping me from doing anything so why did I stop? When did I stop dreaming? WHY did I stop dreaming? Why don't I feel safe in my own country? Why don't I feel safe to be anywhere? Why do I feel like dreaming big is pointless? Who's stopping me? What's stopping me? Is it my own mind? Is all the fear I created in my head what's stopping me? Or is it just this messed up world? If I'd stayed home a good girl, could I have became braver, bolder? If I'd never gotten involved with those people, could I have achieved more and be seen as more?

And why am I writing all these pointless message up, knowing that nothing would change? "Yang bulat tidak datang bergolek, yang pipih tidak datang melayang." So what haven't I done? Am I not doing enough? And where do I find the strength and courage, to do enough?

Back to the topic. I chose to do this short documentary as an outlet of my emotions. I did this to remind myself of the good things in life. To appreciate, every thing that happened, and will happen in my life. To remember every person who brought some or even the littlest slightest happiness in my life. To focus on the bright side of life. If you only live once, make good out of it. As my mother always reminded me, gratitude is the key to happiness.

Reflection on the course-

I don't know what it takes to become a good clinician yet, but overall I find this course fun and easy to follow. I really enjoyed getting to know our lecturers more, not just by the subjects they teach. And I enjoyed having discussions with my classmates on a range of different topics. I think caring about life and nature is a good quality to have as a person. And being a clinician who cares, who listens and observes, is important so that we don't just go to work for the sake of money.

I didn't find myself interested in every topic that was shared throughout the semester. Some of the mainstream topics like how humans are destroying the earth was very boring to me. It felt artificial and fake. Honestly, we know what we're doing, but people just don't care. I don't mean to be rude here... I just think it's been talked about enough outside of class already. But it was a good sharing.

I wouldn't say that my project describes who I am, but just a part of me. There are good and bad moments in life, and we should embrace every part of it. It's what makes us humans. The best part of working on this project is the connections I made. I met Dr Fatimah with a set of other students choosing her as our mentor. I really enjoyed our one-hour discussion at the library. It was pure and honest. We shared on our interests and I find the conversation very fulfilling. I also enjoyed the carnival a lot.

I think, in speech therapy, being creative is really important. Sure we can plan ahead for a session and we can design tasks for our clients beforehand. But speech therapy is also a kind of conversation, where it's a two-way communication between the therapist and the client. So in the session, you'll have to listen to the client and think about what they want too. Be compassionate, get to know the client and work with the flow. Speech therapy should be fun, and learning should be fun.

Graphic Arts in Video Games

Project Title: GRAPHIC ARTS IN VIDEO GAMES

About the Project

Video Games has been one of my go-to when I want to have some fun. I especially admire video games that have amazing graphics. What shocks me more is these graphics were mostly hand-drawn, from the characters to the background scenes. As someone that still draws stickmen to portray human, it amazes me how artists were able to design and assimilate their inner thoughts from scratch and finally present these spectacular graphics to us.

In these handpicked examples of video games, it might wonders you more that some of these games were created by a team of developer not more than 10! In fact, Stardew Valley was developed by only a single person. Browsing through the behind-the-scenes interviews and articles, it is unimaginable how much effort and patience had the developers went through for these masterpieces to be published. Almost most of them took years of refining and creation, which explained how they immediately caught the market's attention when they first came out. I'm glad their years of dedication had paid off and being appreciated finely.

I hope to share these stunning arts in our Life Crafts, for this form of art to be known by more. Everyone can have a goal they strive for, and nothing will be stopping you to share your efforts proudly.
