It's 6th week already !

"It is called forced connections because relies on random external triggers that force people to make a connection between the problem at hand and the trigger. These triggers cause people to broaden their perspective. " 

Just grabbed those words from http://www.ems.ucsb.edu hihhihi
But in a simple way, forced connections is connecting or combining things to be useful or even un-useful things. With brain storming thoughts and mind mapping.
For me, this week's theme is gonna be fun!
And here are some photos of my activities during this week, and its related to Forced Connection.

     I took this photo by my self this morning. It was such a game, which was using creativity, brainstorming, mind mapping, and ofcourse forced connections. My group was taking those picture randomly. And we picked pineapple and comb. The teacher asked us to brainstorm what can me make by combining a comb and pineapple. We made it at least 30 and picked the top 4 to be presented. 

                 Here's my random drawing of today's activity. Pineapple and comb. Me and my group called it a pineapple brush. It's separately used to comb and pineapple? Its normally a dessert hahaha... Their textures are really different and not related obviously. But here we tried to combine them as one and make it useful. The reason why we made it as a pineapple brush is because the comb is basically use to brush someone's hair, right? And pineapple is containing vitamin A and C. And for your information, vitamin A is good for your hair. So the first benefit, we can get a unique comb, then we'll the vitamin A for our hair, and we can also get the naturally scratch by the hard texture of the pineapple's leafs everytime you comb your hair. 

                 At the same date. I was thinking of the skin use of the pineapple and also the brush of the comb. This picture was the last 3 pictures of today's activities. On that very top one, i imagined that how the hard leafs of the pineapple can be stuck on the edges of the comb then become a house cleaner thingy. And the second picture was the big skinned pineapple as a comb holder (its more than one) with a simple way. Just stick it around the pineapple. And my last picture is a pineapple water ladle with a comb holder. hehhee never heard before? Just make the pineapple into half pieces and make the hole in the middle of the pineapple, then you can use it as a water ladle.

           27 of August 2013. I really wish i could have this awesome inventions. Can you imagine, you'll have a fruit juice extractor? No need to blend or smash it manually, you can just put the extractor on the fruit, then you can get the extract easily. Individually, the have a different function, but when they become one, they become more helpful and unique. Ofcourse we can use any other fruits then take their extract, and it can be different characteristic too. Really need to buy this one!
