1 hour Journey

I was required to have a silence journey alone for 1 hour, without using my phone or listening music. So I decided to have my journey around my estate, Toa Payoh, around evening time.

As I started walking, I passby my favorite night market that I always go to, with my family and church friends. 

Whenever I walk pass here, i would not bother to see the whole structure of this market. But this day, I realised the appearance of this market look bigger than what I normally see inside.

I continued to walk toward Toa Payoh Central after that, then I saw the traffic road that I always walk a crosss.

Almost everytime when I cross the road, I am listening to my music. So I never really realise, how noisy it was in this road. 

After walking pass Toa Payoh Central, I went a cross to Toa Payoh Stadium, that I rarely go in my daily life. I went to the overhead bridge near to the outdoor stadium. 

I didnt realise Toa Payoh Stadium was that big, as I dont always go there.

So when I was at the overhead bridge, I saw a beautiful sunset there. 

I never knew that, I would be able to see this kind of scenery in Toa Payoh. As I always think Toa Payoh is kind of like ulu place that have nothing much.

So, after walking around Toa Payoh, I realised there are still alot places that I am still not familiarise with. The shops or cafe that I have yet to see and eat, the history of ToaPayoh that I have yet to know. I am quite thankful, that I got this chance to look around ToaPayoh, and know some of the cafe here and building that did not get to know it exisit.

Relationship between play and creativity

I believe play and creativity are related. As we were all being expose to learn different shapes and colours since young.

Example:

 
Colourful colours to catch our attention, different shapes for us to explore when we are young.

The design for playground are also example for us to see. 

Toa Payoh Dragon Playground

This are some examples, how playgrounds were designed to let kids to expose to different architect, they dont usually see, and also to make them to have more creative imagination.

Illustration for board game

When we play, we will always play things that caught our eyes. Why do people play board game? I believe the main reason are because it is interesting. The idea of board game is creative, the design for it is nice or cool.

Example:

Conclusion

Most of the time we play this things, are because it is interesting, creative and it got our attention. If the things we play are not as creative as it is now, we might not be interested with it at all. So my conclusion are, creativity and play cant be separated

Activity 1

On the 23th of July 2015, I have my first Creative Thinking class, and the first activity that we did, was to found out 9 interesting fact of our teammates, in the group we formed and, make up a storyline for it.

Storyline:

So there's this human being that learn to draw a portrait by self taught and photoshop himself, and he's very talented. After learning the skills, he went on study about chinese history, as he find it interesting.When he have free time, he will watch wrestling for entertainment or he will play with his terrapin that he kept for 10 years. He also like to collect Doraemon and Crayon Shin Chan, he even have a whole collection of it. Sometimes, he also learn to play guitar to make his girlfriend happy.

One day, he went to ride 1 of the top 10 rollar coaster in the world, and he love the ride. But after the ride he realized he has nothing much to do, and knew how boring his life is, but he carried on.

Conclusion:

I think this activity we have was a great begining for us. As we can get to know one another, and learn how to work in this small activity. It will help us to work better next time. It also help my group to break the awkwardness within us, and it help us to step out from our comfort zone to talk.
