3 Ideas For "How To..." Project @ Web Design 1

HOW TO FIND THE REAL YOU?

1. WHO AM I -You

2. WHO ARE YOU - You

3. WHAT FOR - To re-discover youself at times where you lost your faith, belief and passion towards humanity.

4. 1st TASK - Look back into the past in search for the times where you were most happiest.

5. 2nd TASK - Open your eyes and pay attention to what goes by.

6. 3rd TASK - Notice what makes you mad or upset.

7. 4th TASK - Write in a Journal everyday.

8. 5th TASK - Listen to your body.

7. OUTCOME - Lead a happier and more meaningful life.

8. SHOWCASE

[Rationale : For the past 21 years in my life, I thought I'm able to change the world with goodness, as long as I'm strong enough and take kindness actions whenever I could, I'm able to change the stereotype perception of people that the world is full of danger and bad. I believe and have faith that there are good people, but just too afraid of the worst, and acted defensive in many situation. However, a series of disastrous happenings lead me to think I find myself lost in at this moment of my life. Feeling many things in life has lost its meaning and I started to question the reasons we exist in this world, only to create hatred, anger, and sufferings. Are we living because the fear of death? or living the way how the community shaped us to be? Well, upon my quest in search of my real and true self again, I thought I could use this channel to help people who are in need to search for themselves by letting know how I'm going to do it.]

HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD?

1. WHO AM I -Human

2. WHO ARE THEY - Society

3. WHAT FOR? - Making world a better place.

4. 1st TASK - Understand and know yourself.

5. 2nd TASK - Strong belief and faith towards the world.

6. 3rd TASK - Initiate and influence people through good deeds.

7. OUTCOME - Influence people to believe the world could be still much better.

8. SHOWCASE

[Rationale: It was back when I was still in my secondary years, where I was well known by many people in the school where I'm capable of doing many things. From managing a class as a class monitor till assisting the school in improving its school facilities. At that moment, I wasn't clear what I was trying to achieve, may it be fame, or wanted control over things, but I done many things that not all people at my age can achieve. I got into a lot of trouble sometimes, even it's thing which none of my business. Here, I see that front class students are always in front, given priority, highly look upon them, while end class students always receive the stereotype treatment that they don't want to study and don't deserve any higher administration position in clubs. That lead me to have the idea of changing the world, that all of us are equal. ] 

HOW TO BE A GOOD LISTENER?

1. WHO AM I -Friend

2. WHO ARE THEY - People who needs a good listener during depression period.

3. WHAT FOR? - Help them out from their hard times.

4. 1st TASK - Pay full attention to them when talking.

5. 2nd TASK - Encourage to continue talking.

6. 3rd TASK - Empathy.

7. OUTCOME - Reduce bad thoughts, help people to overcome personal issues.

8. SHOWCASE

[Rationale: I'm a very emotionally weak person, and I'm very sensitive. I sensed what people need, and I try to help whenever possible. I always go an extra mile to help. Well, things don't turn out very good sometimes, you will be very disappointed and sad when people took advantage or criticize you. When I am down, I always hope for a good listener, but its not always easy to reach a good friend and a good listener. Thus, I'm just proposing a topic on how to be a good listener, so this would help them out when a friend approaches you and share about their feelings and thoughts.]

Backpacking Hong Kong

Don't mind about all the previous post, its rather silly to read about it. Anyway the last post marks the end of my conflicts of that moment, solved or unsolved, its in the past. Think too much about it again, its going to kill you. No more too personal post coming up, but do expect more light and cheerful thoughts in my mind. :-)

Backpacking in Hong Kong

 First time for me to do some self backpacking alone, haven't even done it in Malaysia, yet now I'm heading to Hong Kong. Arrived in the airport much earlier, was afraid of the traffic that might caused by the F1 Race at Sepang Circuit. These are the few things which is stuck with me for the coming four days. Reading where to go, how to move around the city, what to eat. Never expect the travel guide by Lonely Planet to be that useful. For that few hours, I'm still fine, was pretty surprised I was bored, purely reading books and listening to some musics from my PSP. After a while, found out there was free wifi in the airport, opened up my laptop initially to do some research, ended up chatting with many friends, it has been a while I have more than 10 chatbox in active chat. Well, yea it efficiently kills my time.

Well, I started to feel bored on the plane. I slept, but it just passed one hour, I ate, it just took me 15minutes. [haha] Thought wanted to sit near the window to watch the contour of the lands, but you can see from the picture, pure blue and pinches of white clouds.

Here! Excitement of the day! Lonely Planet with Super Junior! [:p] Not too sure why, but I can't seem to get bored of this song yet, eventhough I've played it in my song list for more than any other songs that I knew. [:p yeah! Super Jr Rocks]

Arrived in Hong Kong International Airport at about 9pm. By the time, I reached to Tsim Sha Tsui, it took me one hour. So far, its a quite cool day, everything's new to me. Wasn't able to take much photo on the way, wanted to get to the hotel soon and its getting late. [:-)] Heading to The Peak at Central Hong Kong for sight-seeing today.

Flowchart

Questions: Why do you want to use flowchart in your mobile interface design and screen interface design? How will it help your users to meet the interactive goals?

In my point of view, why flow charts are such useful in various decision making context is because flow charts helps to analyse each possible action piece by piece. It goes back to the very basic decision making rule by using elimination technique. It always starts with a statement, then a question, it awaits for responses either one or nil, and then leads to the result. So, when it comes to using flowchart in multimedia environment, it definitely helps you to structure your interface design and eventually assist in producing an effective and convenient design solution. In another words, flow chart is one of the best way to arrange a very complex link between all possible connection. Therefore, when we use flowchart in our mobile interface design as well as screen interface design, it helps us to reorganise things properly and evaluate each possible decision nicely and what it will leads to as a consequences. Hence, problems are easily noticed and solutions are easier to obtain.
