Innovation Is The Rule, Not The Exception

We were entering new module which deal with creativity and innovation. Today class was a bit interesting. Lectured by Prof Barjoyai Bardai, once studied in Harvard University School of Law. Regarding with the entire lecture that have been given by him, when it comes to something creative, it always remind me with the Japanese people.  They are known for their hardworking, determination, ambitious, courage and motivated. Even the Kamikaze shows on how are these Japanese were very very loyal towards their country, and brave to facing any difficulty. All of these attitudes were make them to become creative and always thinking out of the boxes in their life.

As it being told by Mr Barjoyai, creativeness doesn’t always need an intelligent and smart people. It is just a matter of whether you are brave or not to come with a new idea. The paradox is:

Creative ideas = new ideas = wrong ideas. HENCE, new ideas = wrong ideas = strange ideas

Creativity and innovative come with a combination of focus, anticipation and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) method. NLP is a set of powerful techniques for rapid and effective behavioral modification, and an operational philosophy to guide our use. It’s a method that deals with our subconscious mind. We have this one activity when we need to stab a straw towards a potato so that it will pass through it. I myself was logically thinking that it is possible to make it since the straw was not that strong to get through the potato. Yet, some of us were successfully done with it. Thus, I want to make sure that even I can have through with it.

Without neglecting some of the awesome stuffs that have been invented from other country that Mr Barjoyai has shown to us his collection, even he was undergoing a new invention with his colleague on the production of hydro fuel which has a better combustion, low in corrosiveness and can mix up or combine with water. This is totally opposite with our normal petrol.

Then, Mr Barjoyai was showing to us this video clip on this one Indian guy that inventing a gadget that can be applied in reality just by having a concept of ball in computer mouse scroller. You can see the video here:

TED Part 2 

Finally, Mr Barjoyai has told us that even new invention is facing certain difficulties to develop since other giant company might against the new invention that is similar to them as it can reflect their business, or even their earnings maybe.

“Creativity always meets resistance and we’re no different than anybody else in that sense”

Even I might insist on certain things, but yeah, you really that inspiring charming guy I ever meet. If I not grab all the learns from you, still I hope that certain of your wisdom will be in my mind. How I miss your session.

We even enjoy most during the acting session. Every one were very supportive. Even I myself need to berzapin as Mr Hisham request on it. Boy. Very very embarrass. Known for extreme outdoor activity person and a bit of sport-man, tup tup, know how to zapin. Kantoi disitu. But yeah, I still enjoying myself since it was long time ago I've not dance. Last time, it was during our Monash Cultural Night.

Feastic is a new Plastic

Our group has come with the Request For Proposal (RFP) today which is on using enhanced biodegradable plastic that made from chicken feather. The proposal was going smoothly, except with my presentation that is a bit shaky and wrong pronunciation. Plus, I've miss certain point here and there from my nervous. My heart pounding damn badly. Really, I need to be overcome my uncontrollable nervous.Yet, we really hope that our trainers was impressed with us.

Yes, biodegradable plastic from chicken feather. New invention that want to reduce the pollutant and lower the dependence on oil/petroleum-based plastic bag. For us, it is very efficient and effective in term of curbing the disastrous pollution that happen towards our world. So, in order to do so, we came out with this green and so called Eco-friendly product of chicken feature plastic bag that provide lot of benefits such as can be degraded, recycled, cheep production and so forth. 

Oh, Chicken Feathers! How to Reduce Plastic Waste

Scientists Convert Feathers Into Biodegradable Plastic

Other information from Mr. Google

Since this invention is new and not well develop in Malaysia, we collectively as a group that care for our country environment want to lead with this green product, besides on help to educating the public on the awareness of excess synthetic or oil-based plastic.

Additionally, we can made this chicken feather as a component in concrete as it contain keratin, which is a strong compound in term of molecular structure, and also, to make flower pots. YES! This is the interesting and important point that I've missed. From Chicken Feathers to Flower Pots. (Credit to Audi Amalina for this info. Unfortunately, I forgot this point. You even put the picture of pot in the slide. Poor me. Ha-ha)

So, do support our movement. Be green. Be BIOSELF!

           "What?, just because I'm brown, I can't make world green?" 

 P/s: Not to forget Ain for this chicken feather idea, and my awesome team member. Cheers!

Brave

Brave to change and to be changed. That was what I've learned in my previous session of BEST program. Brave to stand up in the public, brave to speak up our mind, brave to be a leader or to be lead, brave to succeed and for the most part, brave to face failure. Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.

Yet,

Shy is something that need to be faced and challenged. Let courage to overcome it. How long it takes to defeat it? Practice and practice. May god light the path for me.

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."

Transformation

In this moment, I'm encouraging myself and reader so that we brave to transform and shift ourself towards better person, mind, thought and attitude. Not to be someone that is not us. Just think for a greater good. For ourself and people around us.

How to Reach An Audience Through Blogging?

Nowadays, corporate has come up with a new approach to encourage their employees on expressing their thoughts and writing skills by urging them to set up their own blog.

Yes. Be a blogger.

Blog can be implemented as a way to show appreciation, self expression, socialization and many other purposes. Yet, how do we attract and impress figures from our blog?


1. Set your direction

This is the most crucial part. You should have a particular interest like cooking, automotive, personal life, outdoor activities, gadgets and other exciting hobbies. By setting a direction, you can focus on certain issues and additionally, you personally might enhance or upgrade your knowledge on the things that you have discussed. Besides, setting up a direction can be efficient for other people who have the same interest with you to get connected. As a result, relationships can be constructed.


2. Find your target audience

Children, teenager or adult? As you think about the purpose of your blog, having target audiences can allow you to establish places where you and the others to gather and having further conversation or thought on the interest. Joining forum, group communities or independent groups can be a starting platform for you and your audiences to exchange the information. In addition, by having a two-way conversation or reality discussion, you and your audience will not get any misinformation or misinterpretation from the discussion and thus, quarrel can be neglected.

3. Blog’s presentation

Just make your blog simple, neat and easily digest. Having nice layout and template design, great topic, readable font, nice images and a bit of humor can be advantageous to attract more people to visit your blog. And by any chances, your blog will be promoted more widely.

4. Connect with the target

Befriend with all of your audiences that contribute in making comments from your posts. Thank them for having the same thought or for having a controlled argument. As long as there is no hard feeling from each other. Make sure you answer you audiences inquires. Make them part of the blog by involving them to take a vote on polls for certain issues, like current politic, local issues and world current situation. Besides, by making a lot of questioning statements in your post, reader might have an interest to make comment from their point of view.


5. Aware of sensitivities

Yes. A blog is your own freedom to express anything that you think is right. Yet, bear in mind that not every matter is right as only our thought says it. Think wise before you want to critiques certain big issues like politic, gender equality, people's right, and religious concern. Do not bring any subject that can cause anxiety through community or national disturbance.

Morning morning

1 post minimally or 3 posts by the end of the day. How I wish thought can be pop up easily. Non stop finger typing. Type type type.

Damn. I keep backspacing what I type for the past 5 minutes. Any Potter's charms to get idea? Or maybe I can Stupefy! these trainers to just let us facebook-ing. HA-HA.

Yes! Idea! Harry Potter.

Eh? Loceng dah bunyik. Stop la.

A bit a bit. The first part of Potter 7th book quite ok. It was nearly flat towards the end since it want to shows Potter and his friend searching for the horcruxes. The fighting scene also was not that thrilled compare to reading. Yet, the message of friendship and loyalty was clearly flaunted. And I realize that there are lots of jokes and humors in this movie.

.. (tawar la nasik goreng dia)

Overall, this is so so movie laa. I'm disappointing on this movie series since its 6th's. Totally! Swing everything until the mood and sensation was loss. Not like LOTR where every movies give thrills, which I can't wait to see the next one. But logic came as one of my friend have told me that maybe there are not much characters that can be shown from the Potter. Everything is about Potter. No Potter no action. Like in LOTR, there are many characters that need to be explained their mission. Nodding nodding. Logic.

Yet, Potter's 3rd, 4th and 5th are the coolest. Why so questioning? Maybe I aim for high expectation from this movies since I'm fan of the book.

Penutup Malam Minggu

Heading balik rumah parent dekat ampang. Mak aku lately asek cakap kat aku jangan asek balek malam malam bute, jangan drive malam malam, jangan merayau rayau malam jemaat. Tapi tu la semua yang aku suka buat. Drive malam malam, bukak tingkap, pasang radio kuat kuat. Melalak sepenuh hati. Puas!.

Tapi aku dah mula apply kata kata mak aku since kerete mazda astina aku asyik meragam. And aku rase kalau kereta aku rosak tengah tengah malam, chances orang simpati and nak tolong aku sangat sangat la rendah compare kalau rosak time siang. Hantu. Sundelbolong. Maling. Possible.

Dah kawen? Aku maybe terus buang tabiat balek lewat lewat malam ni. Malas nak main kuali terbang dengan binik.

Bersorak!

Sembang Petang

Untuk entri kali ni, aku nak taip dalam bahasa since bilamana aku rasa lame beno dah aku tak gune bahasa sejak habes SPM aku. Samaada penulisan mahupun pembelajaran. Fuh, ayat. Cuman kalau borak-borak dengan member kat Uni, cakap melayu sudah, takde la tebelit lidah kau sok sek sok sek. Tapi kat blog ni, akan terkadang jugak la aku akan post pakai english since aku pun nak upgrade aku punya english.

Blog aku masih lagi cacamarba, nak carik layout yang cun cun, widget pun belom jumpe yang seswai. Halatuju blog ni? Apetah lagi. Masih aku tak tetapkan nak buat blog macam mana. Ade la jugak aku 'riki-riki' blog lain. Nak tengok idea diorang. Carik kat Mr Google tutorial pasal "how to make a blog". Loser la aku baru tehegeh hegeh nak paham bende bende ni.

Btw, aku dah mula diambang ambang mencari pekerjaan. Sambung belaja?.Niat ade, tapi aku nak carik pengalaman kerje dulu. Letih dah mengadap lecture note betimbun timbun, perasaan cuak nk exam final. So Oleh yang demikian, baik aku pikiaq pasai duit dulu. Sekurang kurangnye, merasa jugak parent aku duit hasil titik peluh anak dia.

Bercakap soal mencari rezeki, aku baru je masuk BEST program under Biotechcorp Company yang bukan la macam kerje sangat pun. Tapi first day aku kat program tu memang sumpah sumpah sumpah penat bile dah balik rumah. Bangun pagi pukol 6 yang tak penah dibuat oleh orang macam aku, kuar rumah pukol 7.30 pagi, naik LRT pergi tempat program, balik rumah pun naik tren jugak, behimpit himpit cam tomato puri, kalo takde tempat duduk dalam tren nak kene bediri sepanjang panjang perjalanan tu. Duh, penat weyh carik rezeki. Baru tau la perasaan parent aku yang penat dok carik duit untuk anak anak die. Tapi aku, dok asek mintak duit macam duit tu boleh keluar dari celah stoking. Insaf insaf aku. Balek keje? Dah ade niat nak pura pura sakit. Bijak anak Pn Zainab ni. Semalaman aku bantai tidor. Tapi tu la, baru aku paham penat nak carik duit. Dah ade duit, aku dah mula pikir nak simpan untuk masa depan pulak. Shoping? Jalan jalan? Melancong? Haishhhhh. Mengeluh panjang aku. Sampai masa, aku mungkin kene jadik lebih matang since aku pun makin kacak dewasa and kene lebih cerdik bila berpikir.

Tibe tibe teringat zaman Uni aku

Esok senin dah 'keje' balek kot! Cis

Selasa Maal Hijrah kot. Aku cuti!

Hijrah? Entah ape la yang aku nak berubah kat dalam diri ni. Aku tak percaya yang perubahan mesti dimulakan dengan azam waktu and masa masa tertentu. Kalau kau set hari sekian sekian baru kau nak berubah, mesti bile kau sampai at that moment, kau realize yang kau tak ready lagi. Macam orang before pergi hajah haji, sebok canang kate nak berubah itu ini. Balek haji? Dari bertudung (bace: macam bertudung) terus nampak macam pakai serkop nenek and hud baju hujan. Orang lain yang tak pergi haji pown lagi litup dari kau. Eh? Sape ek? Ntah..

Pokoknye, nak berubah biar kau betol betol sedia tak kire la esok, lusa atau 10 tahun akan datang. Jangan kau dah canang satu dunia kau nak berubah, tup tup kau kate kau tak sedia lagi. Pastu mule la keluar alasan alasan telor separuh masak.

Tapi kalau ade yang rase dengan menge-set tarikh sekian sekain untuk berubah tu berkesan, buat la. Mungkin betol betol jadik!

Tuntasnya, ape yang aku nak azam ni biarla jadi rahsia aku dengan-Nya. Lagi feel. Lagi bermakna. Bile? Hasil? Doa je la yang terbaik untuk diri masing masing. Kau kondem orang banyak sangat pun, kau tu bukan turun dari langit.

Panas kat luar rumah baru beransur mendung. Cari selimut pown ok gak.

Bersorak!

'How I wish I can be a woman'...ahaaa

I'm still young

First day, first thought, first impression, first step, first smile, first attendance and first crawl towards blogging.

BEST program.

Yes, first day in this program might slightly knock this head after 3 weeks 'hibernation'. First class to attempt is Blog 101 - making a Blog.

Blogging

I'm a blog fan. Reading other blog, consider the content, nodding the facts, laughing the silliness, cursing the hypocrisy, see the comments and the best part, see people arguing within the comments. Really.

Yet, I'm not a blogger.

Maybe I'm not that heroic to receive rebuttal from other thought. Or maybe the courage and passion is still hiding somewhere in the nerve. Lazy? Perhaps not, since the desire to blogging has been thinking since 3 years before.

Blog 101

So, I'm making my first attempt on blogging during this session since it can be the best way of self expressing mode when people surround you is too ignorant. Nevertheless, the direction of this blog will go is still under consideration. Just bear with me for that.

Enough said, Cheers
