Post 11: Force Connection 2


Hello Ms Debra! Aisha and I have created a google slides for this project. Below are some of the power point slides. For more please copy this link:
 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11TQVf-7rOTX18zCVZmN5p21M_M9n6yaGWbeW2yQQtRM/edit#slide=id.p
 Aisha came up with all the names of our new invention. Very creative and funny.
 Umbrottle = Umbrella + bottle

 Mu(s)pecs = Music + spectacle
 This slide is our brainstorming slide where we keep on questioning ourselves how can we improve this umbrella using SCAMPER. More slides in google slides!
 These new invention is created with Photoshop done by me. Here are the bigger picture of these products! This is Mu(s)specs
 Umbrottle
Torchattle. The pictures or sketches below are done during lesson. In case you miss it, here the link to our Google slide: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11TQVf-7rOTX18zCVZmN5p21M_M9n6yaGWbeW2yQQtRM/edit#slide=id.p
 The first item that our group came up with during lesson was a water bottle with lights around it. This simple design can be use for camping trips. Both water and light are important in camp.
 The second design is a spectacle with camera and headset. For those people who wear spectacle and love music, our group has came up with this design by combining both glasses and music headset. There is a small data chip in there where you can store your musics and take pictures simply by pressing a button. Camera is in the middle of the glasses.
The 3rd and last design done by our group was a umbrella which you can customize. Hot day making you sweat and smell like one? Fear no more, open up our new umbrella and feel the wind and refresh your smell. Our umbrella comes with a small fan and air freshener and they works when you open up the umbrella. Of course you can replace it with your own perfume. Also, there is a manual switch for the fan and air freshener spray. Lastly, the umbrella is keep in a water bottle design case.

Post 9: Analogical Thinking 2

Analogies Type 1 quiz. Simple quiz uses relationship of the first two given pair to figure the answer for the next pair.

Analogies Type 2 quiz. It uses picture to relate the bottom pair to the top pair.

Analogies Type 3 quiz. Very similar to type 2 quiz, however I got wrong for my first question. I chose D but it was B instead. Because the T-shirt and shoes are part of clothing and chest and couch are part of furniture. 

Analogies Type 4 quiz. This quiz is about the progression of the given item. From smallest to largest.


Analogies Type 5 quiz. This quiz is a little more difficult because of my knowledge of words and there are more answer. This quiz is about the relationship of words. 

This is still Type 5 Analogies Quiz, this page I encounter a lot unfamiliar words. 

Analogies Type 6 quiz. After cracking my brain to complete Type 5 because of my limited vocabulary, Type 6 was a disaster for me.  
These are the some of the words that I didn't know and now they are part of my vocabulary.

Similes. "As shiny as a diamond" was what I shared in class.

Similes, metaphors and analogies are thinking strategies to solve problems through making connection or association between objects that seem dissimilar.


Post 8: Tutorial Week Exercise SAM visit

The Singapore Art Museum's building, and each section looks like a facial expression, this looks like it is embarrass.

This artwork looks calm but I feel that it is lonely and sad. I would feel depress looking at this for a while.

The escape route map in SAM looks angry!

Focusing on the top of the picture, there is a sad face-like look.

 I took this picture which include the floor so the whole picture look like a facial expression. It is sad and disappointing.
 There are a lot of small sculptures in SAM which shows emotions. This one shows fear or afraid.
 Calm and relax.
 Anxiety.
 Angry.
 Sad building of SAM.
 Together with the 2 arts and the vent at the bottom, it gives a facial expression of confuse.
I turn this picture upside down and realize there is face which is calm.
Happy sculpture.

Post 7: Analogical Thinking


1. The chair is light, white, made of plastic and flexible.
2. The chair seems a little lonely but at the same time it is enjoying itself.
3. I would feel relax when using it however a little dangerous if I decided to swing harder.
4. Although the chair seems lonely but if I am the chair, I would not want anyone to sit on me even though I am lonely. I will feel pain, heavy, stress, angry and hurt.
We drink water everyday using cup. In the past, man used hollow horn, shells, coconuts and even skull as a vessel to drink. Now, my cup that I use is made of ceramic. There is also cups made by clay which is a natural material. 
Transportation existed in the past however it was much more difficult to access unlike today, our transportation are a lot faster and easily accessible. Example of transportation evolution: from horses to bicycle and then motorcycle.
In the past, before light bulb was created, the only light source was the sun. 
Today we have fan, one switch and we get to cool ourselves down. However, in the past there is no such thing as electronic fan but natural wind. Because of heat, people from the past created hand fan.
Food! Chicken's eggs and vegetables are natural, and they are widely use for food today. Of course, we use oil to cook our food, and oil is a natural resource. Without them, we would not have our KFC today.
5 emotions of candle
5 emotions of cup

 Angry and about to break!
 Fear
 Sad and sorry
Angry leads to violence behavior.
