The Journal 03
TJ 03 ( Public Spaces )
The second last TJ, very excited indeed. This journal exercise is about public spaces in Malaysia.
We had to go to a famous public space in Malaysia for example, Dataran Merdeka, the park in KLCC and others. We must go there by public transport and also take pictures, sketch, collect informations at the site. We had to also compare the day and night view of the public space.
Reflection
It was a tiring day out for this journal exercise as taking public transport in Malaysia ain't that easy compared to other places. It was a serious hazy day when we went to our site but fortunately we had mask to help out. It was also great to actually find out a lot of informations that I've never realised also I have been a a few times. This exercise increases my general knowledge, I had a great experience and learnt a lot from it.

IDJ 03 ( Superhero )
Time flies, the next IDJ is up and the topic sounds very interesting too !
We had to create a superhero using our 'friend' or 'the object'. Mine was pencil and so I had to create a superhero related to my 'friend'. We also had to create logo, name, enemies and also to design the superhero.
Reflection
I really had fun doing this IDJ because of the interesting topic, I think that I've never done this before in my life. As usual, I had to really think out of the box to get great ideas for my superhero and also to design it well so that it looks cool and powerful. It was really fun and I am proud of my superhero.

IDJ 02 ( What can you do and what you can't do with pencil )
So we were introduced to the second IDJ, IDJs will be given every 3 weeks!
The topic became more interesting this time,the task was to really think out of the box about what you can do with pencil and also what you can't do with pencil. Then, we will have to create a mind map to represent and show our ideas clearly.
Reflection
Throughout the IDJ 02, I just tried to think as much as possible. It's difficult to actually get good and unique ideas although it might seems easy but it was fun to actually test ourselves. I also learnt to draft out and ways to get our ideas when we are stuck at one point. It was a great experience and fun.

I was quite stuck while doing this IDJ at first because I was lack of ideas while doing but I tried to find a way to think out of the box and get great ideas for unique Metaphor, Simile, Personification and Analogy. A great experience as it also improved my english.

Reflection

skills learning Specific
Knowledge
From this assignment, the first and most important thing I've learnt is the time management, time management is the most important in this assignment as it cannot be done in the last minute because we had to do research, memorize the script, take a video and edit. There are a lot of work to do although it looks simple, especially the memorizing part, it is one of the hardest part. Not only that, I also learnt to speak English fluently and also improved in memorizing. I find out that in an oral presentation, the most important thing is to not panic and be natural and also don't forget the script, make sure you memorize it well before presenting.

ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT 1
Objectives
We were asked to provide practice in basic 5-paragraph essay writing, instructions in basic referencing skills and also basic analytical skills for contemporary essays and reading texts.
Learning Outcome
The learning outcomes are to write a well-developed and organised 5-paragraph essay. Not only that, we also get to learn to apply correct APA style referencing techniques and to analyse contemporary essays critically.
Task
There were three topics for us to choose from :
1. In some countries
young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to work
hard in their studies. What do you think are
the causes and effects of this condition? Plan your response,
and then write a cause and effect essay.
2. Write a compare or contrast essay about any two
traditional houses of your choice.
3. Identify the steps
involved in producing an attractive sketch. Then, write a process essay
to describe this process.
Submission Requirement
We were required to answer only one question from the three choices above. The word limit for the essay is 600-800 words only. We must research the topic that we choose and write an essay. The essay must be typed on A4 paper using the 'ARIAL' font with point size 12 and also double spacing. The essay must be submitted together with pre-writing, citations within the text supporting your argument, a list of references and also the cover page.

Knowledge
From this assignment, the first and most important thing I've learnt is the time management, time management is the most important in this assignment as it cannot be done in the last minute because a good and in depth research is very much needed to support the essay. I first thought that it was easy to write a 600-800 words essay but when I was actually typing it out, I found out that I was lack of points to support the essay and I had to do more research on the topic chosen. I've also learn to do great referencing after not doing a good job in my submitted reference. I also learnt that writing a good essay will require good points, following the format and more. It was a very good experience as it was my first time doing such a long essay.

CTS Final Project
CTS FINAL PROJECT SUBMISSION
Our final project for CTS is to create a game related to our own object respectively.
WHAT I'VE LEARNT
1) Then, during practices and everything, I finally understood. This project can actually build teamwork, you’ll find someone you can’t work with and dislike in the team but we had to work as a group for this project, no matter how bad our communication is.
2) I also learned to manage my time very properly because my group was actually bad but we tried very hard to improve it in the end. Yes, we had a lot of planning for the performance, such and a drama. As time goes by, I slowly realize that the time’s really running out and we were so far behind other groups.
3) We were all so paranoid in the last week before performance, we had our songs done very last minute ( the day before performance ). So, from this, I learned to manage my time.
4) This project also tests our creativity of making instruments using daily objects. Not only that, our relationship among each other also grew as time flies. To be honest, after the performance, I actually kinda miss the practices we had, we were always very happy after completing a song.
Anyways, it was a really good experience, performing on stage seems easier to me now, I could hardly go on stage to show myself last time. A good experience.

IDJ 01
So we were introduced to the new assignment which will be given every 3 WEEKS ! This is an assignment which consists of five pages maximum only. We were all given different 'friends' ( things used in life for example, pencil, cotton bud, ping pong ball and others ) . Mine was pencil.
My friend, the pencil.
Task (Pencil)
The task was to find information about your 'friend' and create a mind map about using it creatively other than writing. We also had to create our own pet name and logo.
Reflection
It was a great experience to actually work my mind out. I also get to know a lot more about pencil, the informations were a lot more than I expected. Although it is only a pencil, there are a lot more we don't know. Throughout the IDJ process, I could actually test my own creativity and it was nice to actually try to think out of the box which I have not been doing, a great experience and I learnt a lot.

objects and onomatopoeia (using voices to create music). 8 in a group (Kishant ‘leader’

I thought why did we have to do this, is this a part of coming an Architect ?

- Each of us then went around and look for our own insect/animal and plant
- Plucked some flowers and leaves for our group logo and present it at night
- We couldn't sleep at night because of the bad condition of dorm, maybe we're not used to it.
