"The 101 Mask"

Assalamualaikum and Hi.....

We had to make not one, but two papier mache masks. One with our own full face and colour, and the other is black and white with emotion. here are the process of creating them...

First step : placing the plastic wrapper on the face.

Wtih the help of friends, paste the paper on using home-made glue :- tapioca starch and water

The friends or The Artists..

A finishing touch and a finishing pose...

Waiting it to dry. Would've been faster if we had a hairdryer.

The first mask. Painted. Man its ugly.

The black and white emotion mask. Love this one.

Don't make me angry. Or my eyes will turn Ziana Zain

Cool..

Enjoy...

"Me, My Thoughts and I"

Assalamualaikum and Hi....

First "unvirtual" assignment. We were given a USM invention to study and then apply it to the PONDOK. Mine was "TNT - As a Novel Photocatalyzer".

At first i had no idea what that is. so i did a little study on the article, searched the meaning through wikipedia and used a little help from google. After understanding a little if not much about the invention, i started to think of how to incorporate it with the PONDOK.

Some of the ideas are :- applying it to the wall of the exterior and interior of the PONDOK, using to clean and deodorize the air and also to purify the water.

And when the ideas were planned and the sketches were done, i arranged them on my A2 board and it was done.

Submitted it on time and i'm all good.

Peace out.

"What I Heard"

Assalamualaikum and hi...

First day of class and we already got our first assignment. The subject of this assignment is "What I Heard". Alot of things were said today in said not just by the lecturer but also by other studiomasters and my fellow course mates. Topics discussed includes a bit about the course, a bit about apex, the university expectations and introductions studiomasters and some of my course mates.

At first I heard the lecturer welcomed us to USM and to the course. Some of us introduce themselves when called by the lecturer. Then the lecturer started the slide show and explain to us abit about APEX and what the University expect of us.

Next, we were thought about APEX Production. The lecturer explained what production was, first. It consist of three elements :

1. Intention :- this is done by actors
2. Act :- this is done with rules
3. Product :- this must be taken at a place

If the three above are the elements of production, then the APEX production are the same but with the word APEX at the front which makes : APEX Intention, APEX Act, and APEX Product.

To put it simple, the Lecturer, Mr. Wan Burhanuddin introduced "3P" :

1. People :- this includes students, studiomasters, USM community, Penangites, et al.
2. Principles
3. Place

Later on we were introduced to some of our studiomasters. Some of the names I

remembered are Mr. Mazran Ismail and Ar. Mohd Najib from Architecture, Dr. Ilias Said from

Construction Management, and Mr. Rushizal Roosli from Planning.

At the end of the class we were told to do our first assignment which is what I'm

doing right now.

I think this was "What I Heard" from our first lecture.

Thank you.
