It was a refreshing and enthralling experience because I don’t usually edit videos and trying out the cool editing tools made me more familiar on how to do it. However, me being a slow learner took quite a while to figure out how to use the tools in the best way possible,  so I had to keep re-editing until I was satisfied. For several times, whenever I felt like I was already happy with the final outcome, then I discovered better ways to improve it and realised there are add ons that could be made. So not only was it time-consuming, it also depleted my brain energy lol.( I’m not very tech-savvy) Nevertheless, it was fun! 
If I could resolve this challenge differently, I would get myself a dessert and beverage while editing the video so my experience could be spiced up. 
2. I thought I had lost the box of clay pebbles and plastic bottles but I found it again (thankfully) and trust me, it is too vacuous of me to say the entire story. 
Before I found the materials ( challenges faced ) : 
- I decided I had to re-make and recollect the materials but before even carrying out my plan B, luckily the materials reappeared . 
- for the making of terrarium in the tutorial video, I had to substitute the clay pebbles for paper pebbles. JAMIE , if you are seeing this, SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU FOR STICKING THROUGH MY PANICKED MOMENTS AND PLANNING WITH ME WHAT OUR NEXT STEP SHOULD BE, I LOVE YOU! 
As for the people filming that day , thank you very much for your efforts and once again, I am very sorry for my irresponsible act. 
After I had found the box of materials again, I labelled it and OH MY, that should have been the first thing I did! Labelling the materials in the first place would be how I want to resolve this differently. Lesson learnt.]]> 2022-07-13 02:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242284700 weirong659 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242318671 The discussions among the terrarium making members was meaningful as we got to interact and make conversations when we discussed. Through this, I also got to talk to quieter classmates which is great as they can feel even more involved.
The process of the activity itself was also meaningful because the research allowed me to gain new knowledge. For instance, the different types of plants suitable to be placed in a terrarium and how to assemble one.
I feel that during the making of clay pebbles and cutting of bottles together, was also meaningful as we all contribute a piece of effort and no one is left out. We cooperatively helped one another.]]> 2022-07-13 03:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242318671 weirong659 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242342913 At first, I thought that making a terrarium using recyclable materials might seem quite a challenge but through research and discussions, it was actually pretty simple and even fun ! ]]> 2022-07-13 04:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242342913 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242384675 firstly, i would like to mention about the different discussion sessions as they helped me to better interact with my team members in order for us to make this via project a successful one with all our different efforts and thoughts represented in it. the discussions we had were enjoyable and productive as we could plan out the video and make the little pebbles from clay. 

secondly, the project enhanced my thinking  and problem solving skills as i got to experience the different types of challenges faced in a project. some examples include, the deadlines for the different things to be submitted, miscommunication between the members as the recording of the video took a little long. however, these difficulties were mostly solved. 

thirdly, it was during the recording of the video that some of the members were a little uncooperative. however, this obstacle was not difficult to hurdle. it was quite meaningful as i got to interact more with people i never talked to alot. ]]> 2022-07-13 05:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242384675 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242387861 one challenge was when our video could not be filmed on time as everything was quite rushed. we had to find time to shoot the different parts of the video, which was not easy as many people have different schedules and lifestyles. we successfully filmed the video and also edited it thanks to weirong's help. 

secondly, was the fact that i was the script writer with hui yu and we had some difficulty making the script entertaining for the students. ]]> 2022-07-13 05:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242387861 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242389373 1.  I got to learn more about my classmates' strengths and weaknesses. As different people had different roles in the project, we could further understand our interests and help each other during this VIA journey. Some chose to be script writers while others were in charge of the collecting of the materials and there was no way the project could be a success without everyone's hard work and effort.  

2.  I also got to gain new experiences during this VIA project. At first, I was a little sceptical about terrarium-making as I thought that it would be hard to make a terrarium out of recycled plastic bottles and recycled materials. However, we managed to do it and it was a success ! 

3.  Lastly I found the filming of the video very meaningful. Not only was the filming process very fun and entertaining, the end product made us all very happy and satisfied. During the process of filming, it was very hard to get the perfect shot by one take. Thus, we had to keep re-filming until we got the perfect shot. Though it was very troublesome and tiring, we had a lot of fun. 

Overall, I felt that this project was very meaningful and enjoyable. ]]> 2022-07-13 05:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242389373 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242390129 before this, i thought that making terrariums were just miniature gardens but now i think that its so much more than just that! we get to see how plants could grow and also to recycle them as well. this really could help with sustainability very much and with global warming, this cause would really make a difference.]]> 2022-07-13 05:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242390129 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242390433 I had more opportunities to interact with my classmates. When we were rolling the clays for the "soil", we bonded together and had meaningful conversations on the VIA project. I found this terrarium-making project very meaningful as i got the chance to explore different ways on how to overcome challenges and helped to create this project for the ASPN students. When we were met with challenges, we worked together to overcome the challenges. Through this i learnt more problem solving skills and perseverance to never give up]]> 2022-07-13 05:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242390433 https://padlet.com/wong_wei_leen/mr4k97and5yb2e4b/wish/2242419173 1. Buying of the materials 
We had a problem with purchasing the materials needed for this project. We had no budget so we needed to figure out how to overcome this problem. We managed to get funds from our class and bought the clays with the funds. Our supplier for the plants also backed out of us last minute so we needed to find another way to get the plants. In the end, we took some from the school and solved this challenge.

2. Filming the video
