Personal Comment by each member


It was kind of weird when the lecturer told us to do this exercise. I had no idea that combining two different random words could be that hard to synchronise. This taught me to think in a different way that does and doesn't make any sense. From trying to synchronise the words, I learnt that anything is possible to combine and create new things or ideas.

Lecturer asked us to link two different random words that which are no related to each other into a new object. It  made me troublesome, because I got no idea how to combined those things, but it break out our creativity although it's illogical. I found out that everything is able to create out as long as you try to make a different to other people.

This is the first time I do something like this. I thought the lecturer was mad asking to us to do the exercise like this. It is actually that the lecturer want us to try to think something unbelievable, new ideas from two unrelated elements. In creativity, ridiculous, insane ideas are one of the way to success...

The time lecturer gave us the task, it looks childish, I thought it is some homework taken from kindergarten and ask us to do something stupid. But then I understand the intention why we need such crazy stuffs like combining two unrelated object, its used to bring a whole new idea which we didn't even think before. Therefore, ideas come from uncommon thinking which does not exist in the world.

I felt weird and had no idea when lecturer asked us to develop something new by using two different random objects. But after the exercise, I felt that was an interesting lesson because we can just draw something illogical but creative. Well, what I learn in this class is, everything is possible in creativity.
