This week we learnt about disruptive technology. The technology we are using now are the results of continuous innovation and creation by people. When these products are created, it brings side effect to other things as well. For example DVD, it's a disruptive technology to tapes, cinemas, and also some of the entertainment sites. If we can't change what's happening around our environment, we should learn to change ourselves-Ma Yun.
Didn't get to attend the workshop cause not feeling so well. It's kinda sad to know that humans are so weak. We get sick, fighting so hard just to survive, get physically and mentally hurt by the world we're living in. It's really unfortunate for us, but the only way to get over it is keep going and never give up.
This week, we were still doing discussion about the assignment. We finished what we had left from last week which are problem solving. We came up with a lot of solutions and it really helps with the assignment. After that, we went into the topic about serious play. Play and playfulness is one of the sources of creativity and innovation. Playing can help us open to new ideas and creativity.

After I handed in assignment 2, there's another one coming up again.TT Well, this is what uni life is supposed to be like. I am facing a lot of problems recently and one of them is my study. I was struggling with time management and also focusing on studying. To solve the problem, I created a studying timetable to help more with my study. I also put all the stuff that can grab my attention away from me during study(phone, game consoles). It's still working for the time being( did scroll fb for a while during study) I hope it will continue to work. And I need to find a group for assignment3 because there's lack of students in my workshop section. Sigh.... Hope everything works well
It's the week before the next study break. It's Good Friday for workshop I am currently in, so I went to another workshop on Thursday evening. I get to brainstorm a lot according to different topics and it was fun. Brainstorm is a basic skill that we human must practice in daily life. It's also a process that we need to go through before doing something or making a decision. And there's a lot of ways which can help us in brainstorming like doing it in a group or also using tools(scamper, mindmapping). And this actually benefits me in helping me with my assignment 2 which requires a lot of brainstorming.

I helped a friend last week about the Assignment for MAS183. It happened on Friday when I was walking to my class. He approached me and asked for help because he couldn't solve the question. Since I managed to solve the question, I agreed and helped him with his assignments. Through the whole process, I actually improved my relationship with him. I also make new friends( his housemates) when I went to his room to help with the assignment. I also get to improve myself, helping me to know more about the subject. So it is actually a good experience .
But on the other hand, I also think about what might the negative way of helping him. The first one will be the risk if I turned down his . It could actually affect our relationship. I may also not in a mood of doing so because I may have other more important matter to attend to. The another risk will be he expected to much from me. I might not have the things he was looking for and I might not have a good way to explain the stuff to him.
So... what's interesting is if I can go back time, I might get myself more prepared before I accept to help him. I might also think of a method to help him with the assignment if I can't help him( find someone else to help him, give him some reference to assist him)
Overall, I gonna say it's a good experience that I get to use the thing I learned to help someone in need. I felt very happy that everything went smooth and we both got the benefits.

It's been a months since I am away from my hometown. Everytime when I was doing my homework, I will start to doubt, am I doing the correct thing? Am I picking the right path for my life? Should I even deserve to come here when I can just stay at my country and study? But what kept me motivated is my friends and my family. "Follow your dreams, do what you like with your life. we will always be supporting you". This always helps in keeping me going. This is just the second months, 2 more years to go. You can do it, Darren. Fighting!! Fighting!!

Hi to all the readers. It's been 3 years since the last time I updated my blog. I still remembered the time I created this blog. It was actually for one of my subjects back in diploma. My ex-coursemates and I were forced to make this blog because it's gonna be accessed and it occupies 30% of my total mark. So.... for the sake of getting good marks, I created this blog and updated it daily just to get the marks. After 4 years I am back again and this time, it's for another subject.XD
I am not a person who actually write stuffs and post on social media 'cause I think it is a waste of time and it is not really necessary, but looking at the bright side, I can actually spend some quiet times for myself and actually record my opinions/reflections for everything that has happened throughout my life( and can get marks for doing it too XD)
Anyways, to my old and new readers, welcome to my blog!!! Sorry for not been updating for so long and I hope you enjoy your stay here and I will be updating my blog daily or maybe weekly. Hope you guys my first post after 4 years and once again, Welcome and enjoy the rest of your day.^^
