Sixth Friday of the Sixth Week of Doom

Its already the 6th week into Beta first Trimester. WOW! Anyway, the lecture was delivered but Mr. Mus. I was so freaking sleepy in class I couldn't pay attention to him. So sorry, sir >_< so, that day's lecture was about juxtaposition. So, what is juxtaposition? Based on the lecture notes,

"Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa."

So, from what I understand is that one is able to combine two very different ideas into an idea acceptable to others. Here's another definition given in the lecture:

"JUXTAPOSITION: The arrangement of two or more ideas, characters, actions, settings, phrases, or words side-by-side or in similar narrative moments for the purpose of comparison, contrast, rhetorical effect, suspense, or character development."


I think from the lecture, I kinda understand how it works. Mus gave some examples and more sentences which kinda made us sleepy but I guess its interesting how he interpreted Lost from the aspects of juxtaposition. He actually analysed NEARLY every episode of Lost. I haven't even read his interpretations yet. Will read it asap, sir.

Can You Get What I Associated?

This is my associated mind-map based on the object mortar and pestle. 

Do you get it?

Fifth Friday of the Fifth Week of Doom

Last week in class, Radzi gave a really short lecture on associated mind-mapping. He showed us an image of a set of mortar and pestle and ask us to create an associated mind-map on it. He showed us examples and we had to pick five topics from it and built from there. Unfortunately, the mind-map that I drew is not with me right now so I'll be posting it like real soon so wait for it yea! Anyway, Radzi gave us about 30 minutes to do the mind-map thingy. After that, he made some of us stand up and speak out the ideas we'e comed up with on how can we use a mortar and pestle in 20 years' time. WE HAD LOADS OF LAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fellow coursemates came up with so many creative but weird ideas hahahahaha! But somehow I can't seem to recall what they were though. Oh well.
