24/4/2016 public holiday Usually I join group B which is second class on 10am-12pm every wednesday. Coincidentally I need to attend for an activity on 11 am so I had to join class A on 8am-10pm. Unfortunately, I had overslept, so I rush to class without having breakfast. When I reach the class, some of my classmates were doing midterm retake during the class. Today we had continued the lesson, priciple of pleasure in design. Principle 3 is Most advanced, yet acceptable for example an office chair. The next principle is congruence/apporiateness. Dr.Tan had show us the pictures of preserved eggs which is a "black egg" when he teaching about colour, smell and taste.Dr.Tan show us a video about the proses of makes of preserved eggs but we failed to found the about traditional way of making preserved egg which is using horse urine in the past generation. Beside that we also learn about quality of work, criticisms of the intention criterion and MAYA. Dr.Tan show us his vide

After the class end, I went home to prepare for my midterm test. Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain in evening. The test start on 7.30 pm until 10 pm but I attend on 8 pm because of raining day. After sign attendance with Dr.Tan, I start my test. There is 50 questions to answer (oh my god). I spend at least 80 minutes to anwer all of it (sign). Fortunately, I got a good result in the test. I feel very happy about this. 😊

On 26/3/2017, we had gather at pekan for our assignment. Before the assignment start, we had a lucky draw to determine the characteristics of object. We need to found a hexagon brown object. So we walk around the street, and keep visited a lots of shop to find an object which match with the characteristic we got. After that, we found a chocolate biscuit which name HELLO PANDA. The packging design is same with the requirement that we need to found so we decided to used it as our product. Based on Dr.Tan requirement, we need to elaborated the product with disgusting emotional feeling.  

On 25/3/2017, we had meet Dr.Tan on 1.12 pm to consult our rubric. We had re-do a at least 2 time to correct our rubric so that we can elaborate and given marks for the product we found tomorrow. We had a 'lucky draw' to choose an emotion to describe our product and we got disgusting. It was a good experience to me because I had learned how to created a rubric. The rubric is created by different dimension and it will makes us easily to give marks for an object.

Dr. Tan ask us to join an even which is The Most Number of Traditional Dances. The ticket is only RM 5. Since I had class until 7pm, so I decided to go on 8pm after having dinner. That's a lot of traditional dances in this event. I had record at least 3 video and post it online to share with others. It was so nice I wished I could stay until the end of the performances because I heard that Chinese lion dance is the last performance but I had to leave early because I had other assignment to do, so sad 😢.

Dr.Tan also said that Korean people is the most hardworking people in works. Well thank you Dr.Tan for sharing us a lots of your experiences, Happy Birthday to you. 

As usual, Dr.Tan start the class with his story, he told us that in the old generation, kindergarten is only for royal family. For a normal people like us, absolutely have no chance to join although the kids is just going to play in kindergarten (just like what we done). It was not easily to enter university at that generation. Only royal family, nobleman, philanthropist and who are really genius (with commendation letter) qualified to enter university. So back to point, Dr.Tan  teach us how to use google doc which look like Microsoft word but can be share with other (team member). According to this function, we can do our report by using internet, just key in our point but no need to pass a pendrive or asking other people sending you document and wait for the "turtle speed" wifi to download it. Sometimes even can't download the document !!! Gra !!!!  After that Dr.Tan teach us how to write our report. Dr.Tan ask us to join an event before which name " the most

Briefing Assignment Dr.Tan ask us to build a rubric because we need to go ' pekan ' on this sunday for our assignment.  We have to  decide the criteria ourselves and  set up  below average or above average. Dr.Tan told us that  technology and culture contribute in creativity. While briefing our assignment, Dr.Tan had shows an example to us.

It was someting that what we belive, ehat people believe than we believe it, based on feeling for example purely emotional and  puree feeling (that is not point to arguing) , things that can't be prove it's right or wrong , for example ghost and god.  " How do prove your name is really your name ?" , "How can you sure that's your name ?" , "How can you prove that you are in reality but not a dream ?" , there are a few questions asking by Dr.Tan, it sounds like a weird question but it seems like not unreasonable. I never thought that someone will asking a questions like this, may be I will just show them my IC ? Haha. What is emotion?

Hi, welcome to my blog again. Today the class start with wacthing a video which name 'mamula moon' by La.Rosalie. Well...it was a familiar melody for "Malaysian", go search yourself then you will know the reason...So, today our lesson is about "What is Aesthetic". - Aesthetics is one of the dimensions of design.  It was a set of principles concerned with the nature  nature and appreciation of beauty (Oxford Dictionary).  The branch of philosophy which deals with questions of beauty and artistic taste.   Alexander Baumgarten (1735) introduced the term  'aesthetics'. The Greek word originally means ' I perceive, feel, sense '.  The principles of arts are strongly related to daily living and culture, thus to understand the expression of critique, one must describe the way of life.  Therefore, it is necessary to study culture and life in order to understand the rules and meaning of terms and phrases used in arts and art critique.

I had overslept today, so I decided to join second class, haha ~ Well, today we had learn about Affect States. There is 3 levels of Affect States which is Reflective , Behavioral and Visceral.  First, Visceral Design makes rapid judgments of what is good or bad,safe or dangerous, and sends appropriate signals to the muscles (the motor system) and alerts the rest of the brain. ( Requires the skills of the visual and graphic artist and the industrial engineer. Is all about immediate emotional impact ). Second,  Behavior Design. The site of most human behavior. Its actions can be enhanced or inhibited by the reflective layer and, in turn, it can enhance or inhibit the visceral layer. ( Human-centered, focusing upon understanding and satisfying the needs of the actual users  ) Third, Reflective Design means  thought does not have direct access either to sensory input or to the control of behaviour.it watch over, reflect upon, and tries to bias the behavioural level. Beside that,

What is Design ? Our topic for today lesson is " What is Design ?". Dr.Tan told us that   t he   origin word  of design is " desegno ". So, can we said a key is a design ? The answer is , No ! It was not a design but a product. Dr.Tan explain to us that d esign is a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it's made. The meaning of design in Chinese is called " 设计 "(she ji).   设 is draw and  计 is plan, so it means a "drawing plan", a  decoration pattern.  Beside that , we had learn 4 dimension of design .  Designing often necessitates considering  : 1. Aesthetics -   Arts and philosophy  2. Functional   - Psychology and engineering 3. Economical  - Concerns about production cost 4. Social-Political   - Social sciences

As usual , I ate some breakfast before I enter the class. Today, Dr.Tan told us that, that is two way of learning design, which is Tabula Rasa (UK teaching method) and Pragmatist (America teaching method). Dr.Tan ask students to draw his portrait in 1 minute and distinguish it in level A,B and C. After that, Dr.Tan ask students redraw his portrait again but he gave 2 minute in the second time, and we followed his request. The first portrait had been returned back and Dr.Tan ask student to make a comparison between two portrait. Well, for sure the second portrait is better because we had more time to completed. Note : Two ways of learning design : 1. Tabula Rasa by John Locke (UK) - refers to the epistemological idea that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception 2. Pragmatists  (Americanism) - consider thought an instrument or tool for prediction, problem solving and action, such as the nature

        As usual, Dr.Tan share his experience to us today. He told us that Tony Buzan ( the Inventor of Mind Maps )  had visited UPSI on March 2011. Tony Buzan He is a guru in Mind mapping. He was invited by BSM to deliver a talk on creativity in teaching and learning. His fees was RM7500 per hours, and he limited the number of participants to maximum 200 per session.

We also discuss some marriage issue such as how much to spend when we get marriage, the rules of getting marriage in China and others. Before the end of the class, Dr.Tan ask us to do some research about the fees to spend to getting marriage in different state of Malaysia (13 state). Note: What is creativity ? Creati
