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.
