CTS Superhero Costume

Today (30/7/2013) is SUPERHERO COSTUME DAY!! XD. It was a really hectic day as we had our english oral presentation in the morning and had to rush to change into our costumes after that.My superhero name is called "Sweet Sour" .I've came up with this superhero based on the game called candy crush. Well, why did I choose the name of "Sweet Sour". Basically "sweet" means that I can be use my cuteness to lure people into doing things for me. MUAHAHAHA..I can be a very nice heroine but If someone messes around with me..I can turn into a sour mood (angry). My magical power is basically hypnotizing people and also zapping people with my weapon. The weapon as you can see is a gigantic lollipop. It may look ordinary to you, but NOOOOOOOOOOO...it's actually a very deadly weapon XP..I got my inspiration from Candy Crush whereby the chocolate ball produces electric power which zaps the other candies. I tried to improvise instead of using a chocolate ball and came up with an idea of a pink lollipop instead!. A mask is also worn to protect my identity from being revealed to others. The colours I have chosen for my costume are mainly pastel colours which suits the colour of candies very well :). A black cape is added on to make me look even more like a superhero :)

Some other pictures taken during the Superhero Costume Photoshoot day XD

p/s : The purple colour words ( title ) is actually the link to the video on YouTube XD

Refreshing Springs Simulation- Task 1

-Best watched in HD -

  This video was taken during Task 1. After 2 hours of cracking our heads to decipher the code,we decided to trade in 1 of our tags for the solution .We were given a piece of paper by Professor Charles which had a clue to answering that code. We had to correctly match the code with the letters to form a word. "Marian" was the solution..

Refreshing Springs Simulation - Task 4

-Best watched in HD as well XP -

-This video was taken during Task 4. For this task, we were required to create smores for Professor Charles.We came up with 3 different types of smores which are

- Marshmallow+ Bika

-Marshmallow + Super Ring

-Marshmallow + Cream-o

As you can see in this video, Professor Charles was really impressed with our creation ^^

Refreshing Springs Simulation -Task 5

- Hahaha..for this task, we had to to perform a song for Professor Charles. We decided to sing Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. It was a really hectic situation as we only had 15minutes to practice before performing. This short clip was taken during our practice session.

Refreshing Springs Simulation - Making Lantern

-Just a short clip taken during the making of our lantern :) . The lantern that we made is actually a rafflesia flower.We were requierd to use materials that we can find from nature such as sticks,dry leafs,branches and more :) .Thanks to my group mates for being so cooperative while making this lantern! It was definitely a happy moment seeing it light up during the BBQ night :) 

   -Look at how pretty our lantern looks like! - XD

Simulation Trip T-Shirt

When the simulation trip was over, Mr Charles told us to record down anything about the trip on our t-shirt. I went really crazy while designing my shirt..haha..I tried to fill up most of the spaces as well as making it look really colourful. Mr Charles gave me a socre of  8.5/10 for my t-shirt design. I guess my hardwork really did paid off in the end huh? XD YAY ME!!..

-Last day-

Surprisingly I woke up extremely early today!, Me and Twinnce arrived at the dining hall at 8am sharp!..LOLS..we were practically the only one's there ...Breakfast was reallly really reallly reallly reallly REALLLY delicious!!.. There was a wide range of food which included nasi lemak, laksa,kuih and also bread. After breakfast, we went back to our chalet to do some packing. We were told to assemble at the dining hall and wait for our bus driver to call up. Group pictures were then taken by our awesome photographer "Voon Lyn". Soon,our simulation trip has come to an end. We were all really sad to leave this place as we had so much of fun here!. I never regretted a single bit for taking part in this simulation trip.Big thanks to Mr Charles for being such an awesome organizer for this trip!

-And that concludes my CTS Simulation Trip to Refreshing Springs Resort-

CTS Simulation Trip - Day 2

5/7/2013-Day 2

Woke up around 10am today!.I was so shocked that my whole room mates overslept!.We were late for the rock climbing session on that day.I initially didn't want to go for rock climbing cause I didn't have anything to eat in the morning. I did not really have the energy as I was having a headache at that moment. Mr Charles insisted that I tried out rock climbing.Yes indeed, I actually took up the challenge!.It was definitely a tough challenge trying to reach the top. As i reached 3/4 of the way up, my arms were kinda sore at that moment. I was on the verge of giving up as I didn't have the strength to pull up myself.Nevertheless, Mr Charles and my course mates gave me support and I finally managed to reach the top!.tehehe~ this was definitely a memorable first experience trying out rock climbing :D

 

-View of rock climbing and flying fox area-

 -This is me attempting rock climbing- XD

 

-Me and Vivian  conquering the rock climbing challenge - LOLS!

As soon as Rock Climbing session was over, It was time for Flying Fox!.. Hahaha..this is not my first time trying it out .Infact, I have to admit that I enjoy "flying fox" alot XD~.

-I believe I can fly~!!!!- XD

Lunch was next and we had a paintball session after that. Only 12 of us decided to go for this session. I decided to join because I have never tried paintball before.We were divided into 2 teams (Green team and Black team) .The objective of this mission is to save the hostage and bring them to our base. In this case, Professor Charles is the hostage. I was assigned to Green Team. After 3 grueling matches, Black Team was announced as the winners.It was indeed a wonderful yet "Painful" experience playing paintball.I was shot 5 times during this session. The most crucial ones was that my right leg got shot 3 times in a row. I swear that I couldn't really walk properly after that round .___. gosh...It hurt really badly!..Well, as mentioned by Andrew earlier in the briefing

PAINTBALL = PAINBALL!!

 

 

 

 

When paintball was over, Mr Charles that we could take a rest or even go to the river to refresh ourselves.I decided to go back to my chalet and take a nap as I was rather in pain after the session. We met up for our final task briefing at the river around 4.30pm. With 2 hours more to spare before our BBQ dinner, my group members decided to do some final touch up on our lanterns. We then had to display it nearby the dining area.The lanterns actually acts as a baits to lure Mr Black and expose his identity.

  

 The hunt begins after Prof Charles confess with a bettle in his palms. Everyone scattered and ran for their lives. At this moment, I really felt as if we were playing RUNNING MAN!..LOLS!..t.My group formed an alliance with Nick's team and we started to hunt for the missing treasure.After running around like mad people for 2hours, our team and Nick's team managed to recover the artifact. GAME OVER!!!..MUAHAHAHA XD~.We then went to the hot springs for a dip. I really had a nice time chit-chatting and playing around in the hot springs with my course mates. When it was 12 midnight, my course mates and lecturer starting singing Happy Birthday to me and Song .Not only that! we even recieved a extreme water splash attack by some of my course mates.tehehehe XP

 -Blowing out the candle on our "IMAGINARY CAKE" XD

Oh gosh...another experience I would never forget is the moment that we were walking back from hot springs to our chalets.During the beginning of our journey back, there wasn't any streetlights. IT WAS LITERALLY PITCHED BLACK!..gosh...7 of us decided to walk closely to one another..Towards the middle of our journey, there were streetlights already..thank god! :) . Reached my chalet at around 2am, took a quick shower and immediately dozed off! zzzzz.

Simulation Trip-Day 1 ( Slideshow )

HERE IS A SLIDESHOW OF "DAY 1 PICTURES" THAT I'VE PREPARED XD,HAPPY WATCHING EVERYONE!!

CTS Simulation Trip-Day 1

4/7/2013-Day 1

The day of this trip has finally come!!..I was really excited as this is the first trip since I've been in Taylor's University. The location of our trip is "Refreshing Springs Resort at Tanjung Malim for a duration of 3 days 2 nights. The whole purpose of this trip is to challenge us by putting ourselves into a different environment besides being in a "concrete jungle" since the beginning of Semester 1 .Not only that, It is also to create a strong bond between our fellow course mates. Each person had to pay approximately RM400 for this trip which includes lodging,food and also our bus fees.

Back to the story, we were told that the bus will initially arrive at 7am.As i was rather excited about the trip, I decided to reach Taylor's Uni by 6.30am. It was really dark at that moment and I could hardly see anyone.LOLS!..the funny thing was that I even passed by my course mates and didn't even realise that they were just nearby me..gosh..I must be that blur ..haha..Anyways, Mr Charles informed us that the bus was delayed and will arrive at 8am..Our meeting point was also shifted from Student Life Center to the Food Court. The bus finally arrived and our journey to Refreshing Springs Resort finally begins! My seat partner was Twinnce and we had a fun time chit-chatting with each other throughout the journey.After a long long long journey..we finally reached gates of  Refreshing Springs Resort!..goshh..we were all so excited at that moment!.

When we arrived, Anton and Andrew gave us a warm welcome. Our bags were then loaded into a truck and was taken to the resort area. We had an option of walking to the resort area or actually sitting on a tractor ride. Being the typical lazy me, I decided to sit on the tractor~ tehehehe XD.The ride was around 15minutes and we finally reached our destination. Keys to our chalet were given out and we then proceed into unpacking our luggage.My room number is "K2" and my roommates are Kim,David and Twinnce.We then had lunch at the dining hall. I must say that the food served here is REALLY REALLY REALLY DELICIOUS!..It's mainly home cooking dishes which I really fancy eating :D..After having our scrumptious meal, It was time for our first briefing by Professor Charles.After the briefing, we were ordered to investigate the witch's whereabout with runes and mysterious symbol as clues.To be honest, we couldn't even understand a single thing about the first clue given. It was probably a bundle of unknown alphabets created by Professor Charles.My team was busy cracking our heads trying to figure out this code for almost 2hours+.That's not all~!!, It starting raining cats and dogs halfway through Task 1. Everyone of us was basically running around the whole resort under the rain.After countless attempts,we finally decided to trade 1 token to get the answer for Task 1.We then had to decipher the code according to the clue that Professor Charles gave us". Upon deciphering the code, we had to draw our group name and every members superhero logo on our plain white shirt. Task 2 was rather fun, we had to find out about the different fruit trees around the resort.Task 3 was all about texture rubbing.It is similar to one of Mr Ernesto's assignment.However,instead of doing texture rubbing on a piece of paper, we were required to do it on our shirt.Due to the bad weather,our BBQ night was canceled. 

We then proceed to task 4 which was to do a acapella performance infront of Profressor Charles. The song chosen by my group was Bruno Mars - Just the way you are. It was a really hectic situation as we had only 15minutes to rehearse for this .In the end, we still managed to pull it off an perform something amazing for Professor Charles .Sooner then we realized, It was already 12am!. Task 5 was yet to be finished by that night itself. We were require.create our own version of "Smores" .Hahaha..I really enjoyed this task very much.My group decided to make 3 types of smores for Professor Charles which are Marshmallow+Cream Biscuits,Marshmallow+Bika and also Marshmallow+Super Ring.We presented our food to Professor Charles and he was really impressed with what we have "cooked" for him.Now here comes the peak of the night! Our sixth task was to contact "Sally"which was actually Marwa. To be honest, she sounded so scary and everyone was creeped out by that. She read us a riddle and told us another clue to the treasure hunt.After a long long long day of fun and excitement, the simulation has come to a break and all of us went to sleep.

Juxtaposition

This week, Mr Charles gave us a new topic for our idea journal which is "Juxtaposition". Hearing the word itself made me feel so blur at first.hahahahaha... I actually found out that Juxtaposition means  the act or placement of two things (usually abstract concepts) near each other or in other words "opposite meaning of a subject"

These are some examples that I've searched up :)

I'm sure most of you will get what "Juxtaposition" means right?

Mr Charles assigned us to create a "Juxtaposition" of our own and post it up on our idea journal.
So, this is what i came up with :)

haha..it's pretty obvious what this juxtaposition means.. Well, it's a comparison between small and big camera. Not only that! , it's also a comparison of fake and original camera XD~ awesome right??
