Oppa Gangnam Stlye

Source: YouTube

 
 

This music video is very popular recently. It is sang by a south korean rapper PSY. "Gangnam Style" is a Korean language colloquialism that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul. The music video depicts Psy dancing at various locations in Gangnam. The song's theme is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild. In Korean colloquialism, Oppa Gangnam style may be translated as "I am (loving) the Gangnam style." or liberally translated as "I am Gangnam style." or "A Gangnam-styled girl is my style." The music video shows PSY dancing a comical horse-riding dance and appearing in unexpected locations such as an outdoor yoga session and hot tub.

 

This music movie is very interesting and very creative. It's totally different from others korean singer. He dances  does not make sense just can use a word to describe strange. But also because it's strange, so most of the people like it include Katy Perry, and most of the korean singer. Through the video we can understand their culture. It's very thoughful.

 

It gave me some inspiration. That our government can shoot a video to promote our country tourism attractions. This video cannot be too long, and must be strange. Because it can help to attract more attention. The video is about a group of people which include different races, they will dance or doing something that is strange in various tourism attraction, and wearing  their own trandition clothes. When people see this video that can have a better understanding about our culture and tourism attraction, moreover, also can entertain them.

Ocean Dome is the first indoor atificial beach in the world, which located at Miyazaki, Japan. It opened in 1993, closed on 2007 and now it is  totally renovated as home to enormous indoor water park with white sandy beach, palm trees, water slides and a wave machine capable of surf-levels.

It can accommodate up to 10,000 people. Moreover, it is also listed on the Guinness World Records as biggest world indoor water park. The concept of this indoor beach is nice, and the outlook is awesome. It really look like a real beach and it surrounded by the forest. It gives people feel the natural atmosphere, when playing at there. I hope that the Malaysia also can have this type of indoor beach.

 

 

It inspired me that the Hong Kong can build this type of indoor beach or other type of leisure places, which suitable for the worker and adult. Because the Disney Land and Ocean Park will more suitable for the kids. As we know, Hong Kong is a very busy city, all the workers are work under the pressure . With this indoor beach which can help them to release their working stress without travelling to others country. It brings a lot of benefit to the companies and the local economic.

Mirror House

Mirror house is located at Copenhagen Central Park Pavilion, Denmark. It designs by the MLRP Architects. This company has design many creative building in the Denmark. I like the design not only  it creative but also it location. Because it located behind the playground, the mirror reflect surrounding dynamic activities, including the entire park. It is awesome, and it make the place look very nice. It gives kids feel they are in a fairytale world. The mirror is different from the mirror that we use. Different angle the mirror will reflect different effect. It is very very AWESOME.

It gave me some inspiration. We should use different angle to think or to view a subject/matter. May be can come out some unexpected result just like this mirror. I thought that the architect can open a "mirror theme" cafe behind the building will  be more attractive. The cafe inside can put different types of the mirror, and all the things are opposite just like what we see in the mirror. (ɘʇɒɔ  ɿoɿɿiM) People can enjoy the view of the playground and also can help them to relax.

(Pictures Source : Google Image)

Yesterday, I went to watch The Dark Knight Rises which acted by Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway. The storyline is ok, but a bit bored. There have some suprised to me at the end of the movie. I thought that the kid who ran out from the cave were the boy but i realized that is a girl at the end. I like the action scene in this movie, and the Batman's autobike....it is awesome the design is nice.

(Pictures Source : Google Image)

Nowadays, many movie storyline also like to talk someone save the world...it is very boring, there have no surprised for the audiences. Do you aware all the hero are the male? Why the female can become heroine too... If I have no mistaken this is the last episode for the Batman Series...If I were a writer, I will write  somethings different. I will write the Batman become a "badman", he will hurt all the London citizen as he's mindset is control by the Mad scientist who want to become the highest commander on that country. The catwoman will play an important role in this story, she will help the Batman to get rid of the scientist control and both of them will together save the city. This story will emphasize on how they overcome barriers they face, in order to encourage all the audience don't give up easily and also reinforce the importance of the teamwork . Because most of the teenagers will easily give up when they face challenges. To let them understand the important of those values.

 

1 Utama's "The Rich Hertage" of Hari Raya 2012

Source:  1 Utama Shopping Center Official Facebook Page

Yesterday, I went to 1U Shopping Center. When I passed through the Lower Ground Floor, I saw this decoration. It looks great. I like the design. It makes people feel that the Hari Raya is coming. 1U  put a lot of effort in festive decoration. Most of the festive decoration are very beautiful and unique. The idea or theme have been used will not use again. This is the reason I like to go there. It makes people feel the festival atmosphere when  shopping at there.

It inspired me a lot. I have a suggestion to our government. Our country can build a culture village. Inside the village, there have different building. Each building is design by different races. Malaysia is a multicultural and multirace country. This is our selling point, so we should use this strength to increase our country reputation. Government can collect the entrance fee from the visitors, and the visitors will give the grade for each building. Moreover, inside the village have different races traditions, games, food and history. Therefore, the visitors can have a better understanding about our country cultures and they also have a fun. The culture village will bring a lot of income to our country and attract a lot of tourists to visit our country.  

Olympics Opening Ceremony

Yesterday, I woke up at 3:30a.m. to watch the live broadcast opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. It's  amazing and awesome... All the performance are very good. I am very surprised that Mr Bean appears in this ceremony, as well as James Bond. My most profound scene is James Bond and substitute of the Queen, they jumped form the Helicopter to the venue. It's awesome, like a scene normally appears in the Movie. All the programme are very thoughtful and creative. Moreover, through this program, we can have a better understanding of British culture.

This inspired me, that the British Government can introduce a limited edition watches to commemorate the 2012 London Olympic Games and to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II reign of 60 years. This watches will be given to the leader of the other countries who are attend the opening ceremony. Each watch has a different design, each design has a unique meaning.Watch engraved with the name of the owner. This will be a very sentimental value watches.

Asus Padfone

(Picture Sources: Asus Official Website)

Padfone is the combination of tablet and smartphone. It's look cool. I like its design.It is very convenient to the people, because we can easily turn our smartphone to pad. Otherwise, it also look like a notebook, you can connect the padfone with the external keyboard. Have you ever thought that the smart phone screen is too small? Smart phone is sometimes difficult to control, especially when we play the game. But now all the problem can be solve....

This padfone inspired me a lot. I thought if the tablet can flod is much better...because the size of the tablet is big for the gilrs... if the tablet can flod girls can easily to carry...Nowaday, people like to use tablet more than the smart phone. If the manufacturers can come out this type of flod tablet. It will be able to attract the attention of people, especially women.It also can bring a lot of profit to that company.

Krzywy Domek in Sopot, Poland

Sources : Google Image

This building called  Krzywy Domek , and it's located at Sopot, Poland. It was built in 2004 and designed by  Szotyńscy & Zaleski who were inspired by the fairytale illustrations and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.

It's awesome and look amazing... when I saw this building I thought myself in the fairytale world. I can't believed that the world exist this type of building. Polish construction usually gives the impression  of old and monotonous. But this building totally changed the perception of people toward this country. Moreover, it gives  people feel that this building is alive....and it looks like the ghost we saw in the comic.

It inspires me to create somethings that is totally different from others people. When the things is different, it can arouse people curious and they will also want to know more about that things. Our country can build an inversion building, everythings inside the building also is inversion. It will become one of the famous building in the world. Too tell people everythings is possible in the world. It also can attract the tourist and become one of the famous tourist attractions in the world.

Recycling Machine in Deutschland

(Video Source: YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b8mi7rSzkw&feature=related)


I saw this type of machine in a television program. This is a bottle recycling machine and it normally can be found at Europe Countries. Those countries normally place this machine at the shopping center to encourage people recycle empty bottle. In Germany , people have to pay a pfand (deposit) of about 15 cents for a 500mL bottle or 25 cents for a 1.5 litre bottle. However, they only can get  back their deposit when they put the empty bottle in a bottle recycling machine. This method effectively encourage people to " go green".


This machine inspired me that our country also can make this type of machine and place it at shopping center. We can come out like paper recycling machine, tin recycling machine and etc. This type of machine not only can encourage people to recycle, it also can create the awareness about the environment issue to all the malaysian.

The Piano Building at China

Picture Source : Google Image

I felt very surprise when I saw this building on a TV program. It’s look amazing. I like it very much. This building was founded in 2007 which designed by the students of the architectural design faculty of Hefey University of Technology and it located Huainan City. It contains a transparent violin and a piano building. Inside the violin, there is staircase toward the piano house upstairs.

This building is built for music lovers acts as a performance and practicing place to music students from the local college. Because of its unique shape, it has become a popular tourist destination. Otherwise, local people have dubbed it "the most romantic building in China".

If I had the opportunity to go China, I would go to visit this building. I like guitar but I don’t know how to play. When I saw this building, I have an urge to learn to play guitar. This building also listed in the most beautiful building in world.

Moreover, it inspired me that Malaysia also can built building like this. Malaysia can built a building based on the shape of “Wau”. Wau is an intricately designed Malaysian moon-kite that is traditionally flown by men in the Malaysian. Our government can built this type of building to remind all Malaysian the importance of the culture, and to let other foreigner or tourist more understand about our country culture.  Besides, it will bring a lot of opportunities to the local tourism industry and increasing the income of the country.  It not only has a very creative outlook, but it is also very meaningful.

Snow White and the Huntsman

Last week, I watched a movie. It’s called Snow White and the Huntsman which acted by Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth. The original story of the snow white has been changed. In this movie, Snow White and the huntsman are going to fall in love. I have highly expectation on this movie after I watched the trailer. Snow White is one of the fairytale I admire the most. This movie is not very interesting. I think is ok only. But I didn’t like the ending because it didn’t say Snow White pick who.

I asked myself…if I have chance to become this movie writer, what will you going to write. This movie inspired me to write a movie script is different from the original story. I will name this movie as Darkside of Snow White.

If I were a writer, I would write the snow white will pick the huntsman at the end. Moreover, I will change the personality of queen and prince. In the beginning, queen will kill the Snow White’s father. After that, queen is planning to kill her too but she couldn't bear to kill. Queen doesn’t kill her and she treats snow white like her daughter and gives her a good childhood.

After 10 years, the Snow White has grown up. She met a prince in one day, but she doesn’t know the prince have a plan to kill her and the queen as well as seize her country. The prince began to sow discord between the Snow White and the Queen. After that, the huntsman will come out. He will save the Snow White and her country as well. At the end, the huntsman will get marry with the Snow White. Both of them will treat the Queen very well, and forgive what the queen has done.

Mickey’s Exhibitions at Mid Valley

Yesterday, I went Mid Valley with my friend.  We went for the Mickey’s Exhibition, the exhibition display many different kind of Mickey. The Mickey is design by the students from different college or university.  There are many people came there because for this exhibition.

Mickey is one of my favorite cartoons and it plays very important roles in my childhood. Most of the design of Mickey is very creative. It brings out the uniqueness of the Mickey. However, some designs are very conservative and look very ugly. One of the designs I was very impressed.  It is made ​​from recycled materials and looked very creative. From that work, I can understood that the author's attentive and creativity. In recent years, many countries and organizations are very concerned about the environmental issue. By using that work, the author encourages us using recycle materials. I like his work, it’s very great.

It inspires me a lot and gives me some idea to design the storybook. I will design a Mickey which is seat at the wheel chair to attract public attention toward disable person. In order to encourage them to show respect to the disable person.  Moreover, I realized the importance of the values of the product. Even the product look very creative, but it does not have any value. It also looks like a soulless product. 

Story behind the successful

These days, I spent my free time reading a book. It is a biography of Lady Gaga which is written by Helia Phoenix (well-known British writer). This book documentary her success stories and the story she fight for her dream. Lady Gaga is one of my favour singers; I like her music style and her hottest outfits.

She name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and Lady Gaga is her stage name. She born and raised in New York City. She has paid a lot of effort to achieve her dream and even though she faces a lot of challenge in the way of success but she never give up her dream. Instead, she was more determined their goals. Often there are really few people can stick to their dreams, most of them give up in the half way. Gaga perseverance is worth learning and it admire by most of the people.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will." Vincent T. Lombardi

After I read this book, it inspired me to be more energetic fight for my future and never give up it will achieve in one day. Nowadays, most of the teenagers give up their dreams when they face challenges. The dreams will never achieve if you don’t put effort. Everyone is the same, everyone can do whatever others people done just depends on our will.  Your success is to see how much effort you can pay. Moreover, Gaga encourage us to be creative, use different way to view the world, and always judge ourselves.

Creative Advertisement

Video Source: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCW8W_jPIM)

This advertisement made ​​me very impressed. It is very unique compare toour local advertisement. This is one of the foreign advertisements. I saw thisad. on YouTube. The objective of this advertisement is encouragingpeople to use a normal stairs instead of using escalator. Organizers decoratedstaircase look like a piano, whenever people pass by it will moan with melody.

This is a very creative advertising I had never seen before. I love this ad, notonly because it is very creative, but also the way it attracts publicattention. There are a lot of foreign advertisements on the YouTube, most ofthem are very creative. On the contrary,our local advertising is very conservative, lack of creativity, and boring. Inmy opinion, there are too many rules and regulations constraints the local advertising.This is the main reason it causes the advertisement look very dull anduninteresting.

I've seen a ridiculous advertising is about shampoo. The ambassador of theadvertisement is a Malay girl; she wears the “tudung” shows up in theadvertisement. I don’t know how the advertiser going to sell their productwithout shows the hair of the ambassador. It is very difficult to convey theaudience to buy their product, and it is very weird. Moreover, thought ofMalaysian are very conservative, this is biggest factor in our nationaldevelopment.

The education system of the country will influence the thought of their people. Theforeign education system encourages their student think differently, andopen-minded. The foreign they like challenges, they are welcome to challengestheir leaders, lecturer and etc. However, in our country challenges seem asthreaten. This is the reason why the foreigner is more creative. This advertisement inspired me that ourcountry should become more flexible and open attitude. Otherwise, our countrywill soon be eliminated.
