World of Creativity

"A, B, C, D...."26 alphabets can generate million of words; "do, re , mi, fa, so, la, ti, do" just eight notes of that can created other musics and songs that impress everyone. Red, yellow, and blue three main colours can mixed to another another colours and painted the a colourful world. A simple thing can become creative and interesting when you join them together. Throughout these 14 weeks of attending the class of Creative Thinking and Idea Generation, I have realised this. Creativity is not something that come appear suddenly. It is something that you have seen, you have observed, you have feel. When you mixed them together, it become yours, your creativity. It is a process, a never-ending process. I have claimed myself in those days that I am not a creative person. As I cannot come out something different with other people. I gave up easily and dint go to generate and dig out the things that lies within my mind. But now, I have a different perception of creativity. As long as you tried, nothing is impossible. Observed more, anything can be your inspiration and creativity. I glad that I have attended this class. I appreciate that. Thanks Sir.

Oppa Gangnam Style

Korean popular song is getting more fans around the world. Korean beautiful and handsome stars are always make people irresistible to fall in love with. However, there is a 34 years old rapper has become a common topic to discuss among the society. Neither because of his handsome face nor his beautiful voice, but his music video. When I first listen to the song, it is just a typical Korean popular song to me. My perception changed after I watched his music video. I started to understand why people get addicted to this song. He is not as handsome as others Korean stars, do not have six packs on his body but another way round. Then what so attractive about him? Is his funny dancing movement and the dancers! His dance become perfectly match when cope with the song. It is like a horse riding dance and he danced all over the place includes the horse stables, on the boat, on the street, in public transport area and so forth. I believe nowadays all the people will start to learn his funny yet stylish dancing movement after watch his music video. This song entitled "Oppa Gangnam Style" become the most popular words among the words of people mouth. By just learning the horse riding dancing movement can get so popular, this shows that creativity is really anywhere. Just depends on how you explore it. And don't be surprise when you become famous in the future because anything can happen! Undeniable that many movements are inspire by the animal, like cat walk, "dog swimming style", peacock dance and so forth. Should train myself to become more observable to make my like more interesting and who knows I can become like him too?

Fake silicon bellies

When you taking bus and found a nice place seated. You stand up when you see a pregnant woman all the way up to the bus. You invite her to take your seat, she said thanks to you politely. You feel satisfied and you are proud of yourself of doing a good deed. What if you found out that she is actually wearing a "fake belly" to pretend that she is pregnant? Currently saw a news reported that there are silicon fake silicon bellies selling online. There can be categorized into few groups: 2-4 months, 5-7 months, and 8-9 months. The size of having the twins baby belly also available. I feel surprise when i read this news. What is the purpose of pretending to be pregnant? I wondering. What i found out from the news is some people using that to increase the comedy effect(for acting), for baby adoption, find people for surrogacy (maybe they cannot deliver baby so pretend to be pregnant), avoid from being fired by boss. Some even merely for the benefits of being a pregnant woman such as avoiding long queue and seat for the public transportation. I was like: What? How can the pregnancy be fake? How can they spoiling the image of a pregnant mummy? This is just like lying. For the comedy effect can be understandable, but for others, is really cheating. However, it still depends on the situation. Can this be classified as white lies? I do not know how if the people find out the truth. No matter how I think still one day the people around them will dig out the truth. Despite of my comments, this fake silicon bellies is very popular now. It is worth RM196-RM588. Some buyers stated that they enjoy of being a pregnant woman when the people around her will take good care of her. But still, I feel uncomfortable of knowing this. However no people can predict the future. Who knows in the future I might need them? Cannot deny that this is very creative, and really satisfy some customers needs. But in the future we have to know to identify the "real" or "fake" pregnant in case we getting cheated. But still this is better than you having a real beer belly. At least this can be take off.

Technology vs Traditional

Uncle asked me to give tuition for his son as his exam is coming very soon. He is only standard 3, which is 12 years younger than me. When looking at his syllabus, the syllabus really change a lot.Science and Maths is divided into two languages, which are Mandarin and English. Last time we only have mandarin. Others I think is more or less the same. Before give him tuition, I guide him to finish his Chinese word writing. When i looking at his writing, i asked myself: Will he still write by using his own hand in the future? Since nowadays we all just use the "pin yin" to type our words out. Why dont the school just teaching them to "type" rather than "write"? I think it is more practical in this sense. To be frankly, after graduated form secondary school, I really lack of writing the Chinese word by using own hand. I believe other people also the same. Therefore, when really need we use our own hand to write out the word, it really difficult for us to recall back, or I will just use my hp to check. It's a pity for us and is a disadvantage of the technology advanced. Handwritten words actually have more emotion compare to the typed word. We can roughly know how is the person after seeing the handwritten word. The typed word just emotionless. No matter how, typed word is aiding us with more efficiency, just feel reluctant to replace the handwritten word. Probably I should learn from my little cousin when I am teaching him, as a reminder of the Chinese word. He learn form me, I learn from him. It's fair :)
