The evolution of this basket. Just from the source of the material, it has been influenced to create this product

Force Connection

My problem is that I am not good in playing soccer. When my classmate, Ezzati handed over the 'idea bag' to me, I reached out the item from the bag. The item was an Ironman keychain. What I can do to improve my soccer skills from this are firstly, I can try to juggle it with my legs. With this, it can actually train and polish my juggling skills. Secondly, as Ironman is made from steel, I can input it on my legs so that when I kick the ball, the impact and power will be so great that it even can beat the shot power of professional footballers can do. Not a single goalkeeper can even deal with that kind of power. Hence, every time when I shoot the ball, it is a guarantee goal. Thirdly, since I am a quite small-sized person, my opponents usually do a body-push to me and I easily can fall and thus lost my control on the ball. However, with this item, I can input metal or iron on my body so that when my opponents try to push me away with their body, they the ones who going to feel the pain and perhaps the one who going to fall. Therefore, I will feel non-perishable when the ball is on my feet.

Analogical Thinking

The analogy or the idea is to stabilise a mobile object by using an attachment device to connect it to a more stable object.

After identify the domains, a new idea was created and thus able to come up with something like this:

Lateral Thinking: Why Bee? Why??

The reasons are firstly, the painting has female bee or bees in it. Assuming that the bee is a male, automatically it will attract as the female bee or bees caught his eye and also it is the opposite sex. Just how normal human beings reacts to opposite sex who is a good looking one. Same goes to this bee. That was the reason why the bee did not even bother with the rose as it was engrossed with the female one which needed more of his attention. Secondly, the rose has withered. As a result, the rose was not attractive to the eyes of the bee so it went to something that was more prepossessing. Thirdly, the eyes of the bee cannot look down or half-blind and so it just went straight to the painting.  Fourth, the painting has honey in or it is made up of honey. As bees are attracted to honey, without a doubt, with the smell of honey and the sight of it, the bee went straight to the painting and did not bother about the rose as the rose was not 'exclusive ' enough to rule over the temptation of the painting.

Lateral Thinking: The Chicken Problem

These are the solution in order do to cope with this problem. Firstly, build a catapult. Immediately when a chicken tries to cross through the hole, the chicken will be launch away. Secondly, building a slide in front of the hole.  As soon as the chicken come in, it will slide out. Thirdly, by hypnotising the chicken. There are many scenarios where chickens were being hypnotised by people, so, hypnotising them would not be a problem. The chickens will be hypnotised to hurt the owner. In hurting the owner, the owner will soon get injured badly and decide not to have chickens at his or her garden. Fourth, planting rubber snakes in the hole. As chickens are scared of snakes and once they see the rubber snakes, they will move away to avoid it. Next solution is to input wooden sticks which have sharp ends pointed up around each of the plant and flowers in my garden. Even though the chickens go into my garden, my plants and flowers will not be damaged and are still safe. Even if they lay eggs in my garden, the plants and flowers are still in beautiful condition and at the same time, I got free valuable eggs! It is going to be a win-win situation as I either can sell the eggs for profit or keep them for future needs.

Mind-map It! : How to Break a Glass

Breaking a glass may sound easy but what are the fun and interesting way of doing it? Here it is:

To burn or heat the glass. Either put into a subcritical water of 374 °C or just putting it against a hot and big flame.

Excessive water pressure. An example is using a fire hose which will burst excessive force of water.

BB gun is like a normal gun but the bullets are being replaced with shot pellets. However, the damage is very strong until to the extend you get bruises if being shot. So if we can get injured, so can a glass.

Using acid, specifically carborane acid. Being one million times stronger than sulphuric acid and the strongest acid in the world, clearly this can damage and break the glass.

By using Liquid Nitrogen it can actually break the class because the water inside of the glass's cells freezes and forms crystals, causing the glass to become ridged, therefore it can shatter and also due to the fact that Liquid Nitrogen has a temperature of −195.79 °C. Example->Click this link

Ceramics from broken plug. Simply just throw and it will break as the materials is very adamantine. Example->Watch 0.40 - 1.07

Electricity, specifically overvoltage. Firstly make a circuit and then connect it to the glass by wrapping it with an electrical conductor. Then raise the voltage in the circuit above its upper design limit thus creating an overvoltage which the strength of the power can be strong as a lightning.

Mind-map It!: How To Save The Earth

‘”Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans,” quoted by Evo Morales. We as humans must take responsibility of taking care of our Earth, our home. These are the ways which we can do to save our planet.

Avoid deforestation: One the ways is using coals. It requires hours to consume a few logs but takes years for a tree to fully grow. Therefore use coals instead of firewood in fireplace.

Carpooling/taxi-pooling: Save more, drive less. By this it actually reduce the usage of fossil fuels and CFCs (Chloro-floro Carbon) produced.

Save bees: No bees=no food

3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Examples are reducing usage of papers, reusing plastic bags for shopping and recycling newspaper.

Save Water: Use a cup when brushing teeth and collecting rainwater to water the plants.

Plant Trees: More oxygen to counteract the amount of carbon dioxide produced.

Save energy: Some of the examples are using staircase instead of elevator and using compact fluorescent bulbs.

Go technologized: Solar powered houses which convert sunlight into energy and also automated light bulbs so that it is switched off when not in use.

Break The Rules!

This pillow can actually tell you the time and also can wake you up as it can acts as your alarm. Most of the time people will rely on their smart devices for timings and alarm but with this, it offers both and the best part is, it has one thing that the phone does not have; great comfort.

 Most of the time, despite using an umbrella when it is raining, our shoes, pants or even our shirt can be wet too. However, with this, not to worry as it is a whole body protection so we will look as what we want to be looked as our appearance will not get wet or damaged.

Go break the rule, go driverless. This is actually the world's first driverless car manufactured by Mercedes.Thanks to the modern technology, they were able to create this uncommon car. Just from looking at the brand, Mercedes, you can know this car is going to be sleek,elegant, beautiful interior and exterior, have high performances and will definitely catch every eye on the street.

Ink?No.. Just scan! Why need to refill or buy new ink when you can just scan any colour of your choice and use it infinitely without worrying it about running out of it.  This actually saves a lot of money and the creativity of doing anything are endless.

This is a car-like motorcycle which can never fall down. Some people have a fear mindset of riding a motorcycle as motorcycles are very dangerous to ride on as it is accident-prone or injury-prone due to the fact that we can fall off or flew from from the motorcycle easily . However with this, the mindset has changed.

My Journey Home

This is where the fun begins, literally for the children there. Regardless of age, race, language or religion, they still able to play together and have a good time even though they had a rough day at school. If we look closely to the picture, they were so many children there until they can form a pyramid from themselves.

 This mosque really beautifies the surrounding as I felt calm when I saw this.  When I was photographing during this timing, there were quite a number of people coming into the area to perform this prayer at the mosque. I knew that back in days, the dome at the top of this structure is to make the sound of the prayer travel further so that a wide range if people can hear it.

 I felt new when first saw this as despite never entering a temple, I was at a new place for me as I rarely alight there. First, the mosque and now the temple. This shows how multi-cultural our country is.

 First thing when came across here was the smell of grass. The freshness of it. It shocked me as not everyday we can smell the aroma of grass. Furthermore, it is a pleasant smell.

I like the unique design of this because of its shape. Not often get to see a lamppost like this and this actually helps me when I am on my home. As this can be seen from the bus or bus stop, if this lamp lights up means I am late in coming home, vice versa. As you can see from the picture, yes, I was late.

Tim Brown On Creativity

Becoming more like an adult create a little barrier in thinking creatively. We will feel afraid of our friends' judgement and then feel embarrassed about letting go of ideas which leads us to be conservative in our thinking.In addition,adult tend to necessarily self edit. During our childhood, we used to be playful and open which were good as playfulness actually make better creative solutions and openness is the beginning of exploratory play.To avoid being barren which is to lose the sort of playfulness and building mode of thinking,we must 'Think on your hands' which means, bringing the elements together to get a solution. Another way of getting solution also is by exploration and experiment because construction play really is a convincing way to learn and also,through constant experimentation will result in the designs that we knew today. Role play is important  when it comes to thinking about experiences which one will eventually adapt and feel to the environment and feelings which will then be an empathy tool for thinking. Thinking of design can be two ways, one either with playfulness or either with seriousness which a professional adult can really do both.Once one conquer both, he or she conquers thinking creatively.
