Prezi Pizzeria Pezzo Pizzas

Hello. We did a presentation on our breaking the rules and what not and some of us were not as presentation-ready than others thus, the work this week was to list ten ways on making a good or even great presentation and i've prepared mine is ppt. slides so here you go!

On a separate note, we were supposed to do some research about this Prezi app (i'm not tech savvy so i don't know my way around softwares, not even photoshop but i'll have to learn don't i? So Prezi is this software that is so interesting i can't possibly figure it out in one sitting. And i tried my first Prezi and came up with this! hehe

I mean the topic of my Prezi is quite irrelevant but it's so cool and i might consider using it for future presentations. Thanks Prezi maker whoever you are.

Get out you, get out

Run away and step out now

There's no time to waste

Romper Las Reglas

To follow or break

To adhere or to step out

Are we all so blind?

Hey there. So i found this bottle of mine from a few years ago  (well i don't use it anymore cause it's broken, yes pun intended). So for me, this bottle has broken the rule of how a bottle should look like. Basically it is designed to shape like a canned drink how cool is that? And no i'm not kidding, the brand's name is Coolgear. It doesn't get any better than that :') 

So my five due designs that broke the rules are finally in. First and foremost, the quite vague topic of breaking the rules can be sorted into so many categories and can mean literally or figuratively, however you take it. So let's see shall we?

Centaur - Clare Walker

Sculpture by artist Clare Walker broke the boundaries of the nature of a human being, being half human and half animal (most of the time the half animal would be of a four-legged mammal) and is quite common in fantasy movies which actually would somehow become a "norm" in the near future.

Dali Atomicus - Salvador Dali

This was a pre-exhibit image of what it should look like (before the wires were removed). So one of my personal favorites from my favorite artist Salvador Dali, is of these surreal (obviously) sort of world where gravity is completely forgotten for a brief moment. That itself has broken the rules of gravitational pull and even of exhibits itelf.

Feet on hands (Mutated and Deformed Anatomy) - Alessandro Boezio

So this is one of the more disturbing sculptures by artist Alessandro Boezio of as the title would suggest, mutated and deformed anatomy of mostly the human hands and feet. Having a foot at each end of a finger, yes pretty disturbing and at the same time breaking the rules of human nature. No person would have suggested that this is a norm.

Pop Art Head - Roy Lichtenstein

This piece of sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein would be one of many famous pop art sculptures all around the world but on a personal note, pop art, as I have come to know, usually are on paper and illustrated, not in three-dimensional form. On that note, it has broken the rules of what i deem to know pop art as.

Serpentine Tables - Chul An Kwak

This furniture design by Koren designer Chul, visually and proportion-wise, has already broken the rules of furniture design( not that it is not common in furniture designs that rules are broken) but I feel that this somehow links back to its origin (in a sense that serpentine legs for the tables looks like roots of trees where the wood to make such tables came from). Get it?

Do I break away

Do I just go with the norm

Or to take a stand?

Break break break

We are all the same

Look outside and discover

We are all the same

Hello. So this whole week has been such a tough week with school and home and everything in between but as creative thinking Madam has said, it's only gonna get tougher so God give me the opportunity to be strong and overcome this with patience and grace. 

Well I broke a rule for a whole week now. I didn't take night naps. I thought it would make me feel fresher when I take a short nap and wake up to do my work, but no. My naps will almost always turn into deep slumber. I finish my work and go to (proper) sleep, which I only need about 4-6 hours of? yeah I'm getting older.

And as for people/designers/artists who have broken the rules of art or everyday life or breaking away from normalities, I'll get back to you on that.

Reflekshion

Hey there. So as you can see from my self assesment I did for myself, I kind of need to improve on my time management because err I haven't done the assignment given last week? Yup i'm honest okay so Hafizah assesed my blog but scored me higher so I guess i'll take that as a motivation to push myself. I know I can. I just need to stop procrastinating and keep telling myself that there is time because it will come to a point of time when I will have no time at all. (get it?) I guess my post are abit long winded too but I get carried away sometimes so yah. Oh oh I gave myself some credit for starting and ending some posts with haikus so I will keep making it interesting to read hehe
But one thing i've learned from this assesment that sometimes somethings are not very relevant so I don't really have to write it down but as i've said, I get carried away and it's not easy to stop I mean, once you pop you can't stop okay that's all folks

How do you see me

As I always see myself

Or do you not see?

Rules and Roaches.

To live and regret

Is equal to not living

Forgive and move on

Hey there. So basically i have indeed, broken some rules and routine of my everyday life. First and foremost, i am never a person to jaywalk, no. I will find a traffic light no matter how far and i will take the overhead bridge if i have to. But, i jaywalked last week. It's more of just a walk actually cause i jaywalked with Jay so mathematically speaking i walked haha ok you get my point. Second of all, i usually wake up and before anything else, i'll light up a cigarette and head to the bathroom for my business. But three days ago, i woke up, washed my face, brush my teeth, tie my hair and eat my breakfast. And then i proceed to light a cigarette. I guess these little things did make a difference to  how that day progressed.

See that picture up there? It's of me, my mum, my bibik, my neighbour, her mom and niece. We have been neighbours ever since we were one. But about a decade ago, my mum and her mum, stopped talking to one another. They never smiled when they saw each other in public. We never even went to their house together for Hari Raya visiting. This year, my neighbour and i tried to get them together. She called me and invited me over for some Nasi Lemak and told me to bring my mum too. Usually my mum will tell me to go ahead but this time, she actually said, "Ya ok let me go change first." It was such and amazing brief moment for me and they (my mum and her mum) talked as if nothing has changed for the past years. A little funny i should say. But as you can see from the picture, it was such a great accomplishment for me and my neighbour. Just yesterday we cooked a little more and gave some next door and they did the same. 

My Daddyo

My Mamaneh (she never smiles for cameras. nope. even if she has a beautiful one)

Ok so another one happened on Sunday when me and my dad were supposed to go grocery shopping. I was getting ready and my mum told me she wants to come too. I was quite in disbelief. But we went together. And we sat in one table and ate breakfast and went grocery shopping and they were having little conversations. I am a very emotional person (i look big and tough but inside me there is a garden full of roses and lotuses so fragile) and i was almost in tears but i didn't want to cry in front of them so acted cool like i always am haha I FELT SO BLESSED THAT DAY YOU HAVE NO IDEA (you could kind of get the picture as to why i was so happy they were talking right?)

Ok i think it's abit too much for one post but WHY NOT so i also found 101 ways to kill my arch nemesis that is the cockroach and coincidence was on the roach's side cause after that lesson, i had so many freaking encounters with it i lost count. And now i know of 101 ways to terminate it but it seems everytime one is rid, it'll whisper quietly, "I'll be back." Final illustration on the ways below:

So this is the final outcome of our ways to killeth thou arch nemesis

(and we had to pick three of which were most interesting and those ways that were not heard of before on killing cockroaches and Hafizah's below, is using a cake mixer to kill it,

Lulu's below is to hit it multiple times with a guitar (though it looks like a violin haha),

And mine was to fling it to a wall fan until it meets its untimely death.

And here are a few more interesting but not picked out ways :

To feed it to a venus fly trap (apparently people have seen that before) 

And a few methods of torture, which includes ironing it flat, throwing multiple needles at it, and also freezing it hard with nitrogen oxide.

So there you go. Till the next.

Los árboles y otras cosas

Interesting piece on how humans and trees coincide on this earth.

Hey there. So, the question was, in what movement or direction do plants/trees give out O2? 

(Throwback to school days which was what? 6 years ago?)

So I remember a few diagrams and pictures of how oxygen travels and how we, humans are an important part of the trees' life cycle as well.

First of all, as what a fellow classmate said about feeling fresher around bushes than being further away, and based on the diagrams I saw, it kind of makes sense (I was never the science or math geek so this kind of things don't really appeal to me much and i never got some of it anyway hah) cause trees, they give off oxygen upwards, into the sky, (with the help of photosynthesis) and then down to humans and animals to breathe. It is a cycle then goes up, then down. I feel like it would be easier if I illustrate it out so please help yourself to the wonderful (not really) diagram below of what I think the cycle looks like : 

Yup something like that. So in conclusion, the oxygen travels upwards into the sun and is then transported down to humans and animals to breathe in. We, humans and animals, then give out carbon dioxide for trees to breathe. I'll say that is why we feel fresher near bushes because it is more concentrated cause we are much taller than bushes. (it sounds weird but it could be true hah) Ok there you go. Catch you on the next.
