RETURN OF THE SUPERHEROES!

SPOTTED : Local Superheroes BNB filming their upcoming TV series at Taylor's Lakeside University!

5/5/12 - Heads up, all you bloggers! It seems that while you were busy enjoying the public holiday, our local stars appeared to be working on their upcoming TV series, that has yet to be released later on this year. Luckily for you, we've managed to interview some of the casts about their upcoming series. "For the first season, the main focus will be BNB VS. The MAD CHEMIST, whose aim is to control the campus students with his serum that will turn them into mutant zombies." says Francine. 


"Return of the Superheroes is an action-packed & comedy fueled TV series that consists of 12 episodes. The producer originally wants to capture the essence of youth & to witness how these four youths, who are so different in character are going to combine their strengths in order to deliver justice," explains Lightning Boy.

MAP YOUR BRAINS TODAY!

How To Create A Perfect Mind-Map Day!

Hey guys, ever wondered 'WHAT THE HELL IS A MIND-MAP?' Or 'HOW ON EARTH DO I START MY MIND-MAP?'

Well, we had a special session today on 'How to create a perfect mind-map' with our favorite lecturer, a.k.a Mr.Charles. =D From what we've learned today, a mind-map is born from a collection of ideas, which can be either positive or negative. 
Our ideas can be collected impromptu through a friendly discussion or even in the argumentative form! Generally you will realize that no matter what we do, IDEAS will just pop into our heads all the time and what better way to organize your thoughts than using  MIND-MAPPING?

So...here are a few random examples of what we have done to improve our own mind-mapping skills today! To be honest, mind-mapping is simple & fun! And to make the entire situation better, your mind-map has to be original, done in colors & has lots of visual drawings!! No kidding! =D 

** This activity was done using Butter paper & SHARPIE markers **

MIND-MAP 1

PHOTOGRAPHY 
: By Ryan =)

Step 1 : Write down a single topic that you wish to discuss about and circle it with a colored marker or etc.
NOTE-To-Self: For this activity, our mind-maps were color-coded. This means that each color acts as a guide for us to classify/organize our ideas. For example:
RED - Emotional 
BLUE - Process/Order
GREEN - Creative Thinking
BLACK - Negative/Adverse Effects
   GREY (substituted with brown) - Knowledge & Research 
YELLOW - Positive Effects


MIND-MAP 2

FOOD
 : By Vanessa =P

Step 2: Plan/Organize your ideas using the color-codes.

MIND-MAP 3

STRESS
: By Shereene =D 

Step 3: Design your ideas in the form of words, visuals & don't forget to add colors!

MIND-MAP 4

KAME
: By Namira =0

Step 4: Design your mind-map according to your creativity! And voila! you are done with your masterpiece! =D 

PS: This post was dedicated to public viewers for a brief general knowledge about mind-mapping, if you don't already know what you want your mind-map to look like! Just remember that when you're making a mind-map, don't care about what others think, just do it YOUR WAY because it defines who you are & shows others how creative you can be! 

PPS: Dear bloggers/reader, Thank You So Much For Your Support On Our Blog! We hope to post more crazy & fun stuff for your entertainment! Peace out! =D

Meet Samantha!

The Birth of SAMANTHA

Hi, everyone! Meet Samantha! A handmade doll that we are proud to introduce to you! Before you read about Samantha's birth, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my group members (who are AWESOME & Diligent). 

TO NAMIRA : Great job on the doll although you had to take it home afterwards &   spent time sewing her head to the body. =D Thank You!
TO RYAN :  Thank you, for helping out to sew the super MACHO arms & legs, they were awesome!
 TO SHEREENE :  You were a great help with the dress & of course the sewing! So, thank you!

A few days ago, our lecturer spontaneously thought of this terrific idea; that is for every group to make "a doll", SO as you can see, Samantha is what we have come up with. For this project, the four of us made sketches of "What a female doll" would look like and from there, we took out bits & parts of each drawings to create an entirely new doll. 

So, we're going to show you how Samantha was born! These pictures were taken along the birth =D And it was done within 4-6 hours. 

  •  These were the materials needed for the first step.

Materials: Yarn, Pins, Fabric Scissors, Felt Cloth (Beige), Buttons etc, Sewing Kit, Polyester Stuffing & tracing paper.

(From Left to Right) Ryan [R], Shereene [S] & Namira [N] were busy measuring & cutting the tracing paper. =D
S & N were cutting the felt by pinning the tracing paper on top, so that we may begin sewing Samantha's body together. =D
(Left to Right) N & R were busy with the felt while, I (Vanessa) was cutting out the decorations for Samantha's dress from a bag Ryan kindly donated. =D

BEHOLD! After cutting & combining the felt, this was what Samantha's body looks like. =D



Meet RYAN! He was sewing Samantha's arms & legs! What a great fellow! (How many guys you know can actually sew?) =P

Here, S was sewing Samantha's dress & N was working on Samantha's face. =D

So, after all those long hours of making the doll, this was the final outcome ya'll have been anticipating!


After bringing it home, I've added the ribbons, glued on more hair & gave Samantha a pair of beaded MARY-JANES! =D


So, this is what Samantha's backside looks like. =D

We all had a fun time doing this and it was a great bonding time for us as well, although it was only for a short period of time. All I want to say is, we have done our best to create Samantha TOGETHER & no one slacked for this project. *All work was done equally and shared amongst everyone!*

PS: Congrats Ladies & Gent! We have succeeded in creating our first doll together! Thank you for your hard work, I know it was exhausting! But, I think Samantha is looking spectacular! :D

Music & Creativity

QUESTION OF THE DAY : What Happens When You Mix Creativity with Music?? 

The answer to this question can be found by looking at four of our individual drawings below.

For this activity, the materials needed are : Mahjong Paper/Butter Paper & assorted colors of fat-tipped markers.   

This activity was conducted whilst listening to a range of classical music but, you can always do it with other genres such as 

Blues, Jazz, Rock or etc...

Whatever emotions we felt while listening to the scores were portrayed in the form of various drawings, just like how a dancer feels and flows with the music as passionately as we did with our drawings.

 

 SENTIMENTAL VS. WAR (by Nessa)

The theme of this drawing is based mostly upon war,loss & victory. (Description from bottom left, anti-clockwise)
  • The snowflakes were drawn to represent a calm & tranquil mood.
  • The girl staring out the window, represents the loneliness & longing to be part of the outside world.
 AND...



The next drawing reflects a war between two people : THE ARMY/SOLDIERS vs. Tribal Members. The color red is used to portray Blood Loss & Despair.  

WHILE....
  • The SUNRISE between the valleys represents HOPE & A NEW LIFE.  
  • The Green Soldier holding out a flag symbolises Victory in a war.  


 CHALLENGES FACED IN LIFE (by Ryan Lee)



When i am hearing different types of music.....this is what I am thinking about...

The figure standing in the picture (which is dark in color) represents myself.....
I am imagining that I'm on a journey where I am forced to overcome many challenges along the way.....
I look up ahead to face a very long road where I begin to feel anxious. A sense of trepidation creeps in, when I think about the unknown future.....
I hesitated to continue my journey but eventually, i told myself that i have to be optimistic & unafraid to confront the obstacles in my life along the way.....
"I CAN DO THE BEST!!" Is what I always tell myself! !
(a brief summary of my drawing:)

{The two high and big walls beside with the word "START" signifies the beginning of my journey. Besides that, there are also some strange trees and obstacles in life that are represented by the mountain , desert, and a village.}


THE HUMAN SONATA
by Namira

Both of these drawings are based from the instrumental music that Mr Charles played in class. 
Drawing 1 symbolizes somewhat of a dark theme. By listening to the first half of the music that was played, I had pictured the last scenes from the Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands. It portrays how the main character was feeling at that particular moment, he was in the state of being alone and despair and had no one to turn to. The rain and the tomb shows grief while the thunder shows the character's state of panic. I had also imagined a bit of a Harry Potter vibe while drawing this, thus this is why I drew the castle.

Drawing 1 shows the exact opposite of drawing 2. During the last half of the music, I pictured somewhat of a peaceful sunny day. I visualized myself standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The sun represents hope in which drawing 1 lacks. The whole scene is uplifting and the flowers are 'dancing' because of it.


Magical :) & ): Despair (by Shereene)

This picture consist of two themes : Magic and Despair.


Firstly, there is a guy which is the nutcracker, a girl which is the princess and a creature on top which is a fairy. The three of them are walking on a magical journey together towards the castle. 


Secondly, along the road there are thorns which symbolizes the danger of the outside world. Also, there are some carcasses in the drawing that depicts the despair of the world.



IN SHORT: What i want to say is that, when a part of the world is having the best times of their lives, another part of the world is having the most horrendous times of their lives. So, let's be grateful always for the laughter & smiles we share with our loved ones everyday!! (:
