Weekly Reflection (Week 5)

The presentation continues during week five. During the one hour class, we able to finish with three presentations by Norain, Hamidah and Jasmin which are about room colour, shadow puppetry and Korean’s traditional games. During Norain’s presentation on room colour and how it affects your mood, we found a lot on why certain colour is suitable and is not suitable for certain room. Because it is said that colour has sort of influence towards you. In simpler word, it means that your mood will depend on the colour scheme of the room. Meanwhile, during Hamidah’s presentation on shadow puppetry, I learned that this art is not originally based in Malaysia, I also found the story behind the invention of this shadow puppetry. For the third presentation on that day, I found it was very interesting because it was related to traditional Korean games. Jasmin told us three famous games and the one game that captured my attention the most was Ttakji. This is due to the fact that I know the game through watching the famous Korea’s variety show, Running Man.

On Wednesday, during the two hours class, we managed to listen from another nine presenters which were, Nabilah Izzati, Lyana, Nabilah, Munirah, Grace, Mariana, Nabila Izzati, Nazifah and Zarwani. The topic that had been presented were, why Japanese people live longer, famous Korean foods, Sports, Deja Vu, water birth, Titanic, four seasons, rainbow, and plastic surgery.

During Nabilah Izzati presentation, I found it was very interesting to learn on why Japanese live so long. These people are very meticulous in choosing the meal which they are going to eat every day. So much thought they give in choosing the food in order to live longer. For example, they prefer fish instead of meat, and most Japanese are lactose-intolerant, thus they cannot consume a lot of dairy products. Next, during Lyana presentation on famous Korean food, I learned on how to cook some of the meal. Meanwhile, we were not that surprise with the topic that Nabilah have chose which was about sports. Because all of us know the fact that she is an athlete. She showed us the history of sports, famous in the country and overseas athletes and presented about benefit of sports.

Next, Munirah’s presentation on Deja Vu topic, I also found it was quite interesting. She told us why we had Deja Vu and actually Deja Vu is still an unsolved mystery of the brain but what she can conclude is that it is all related to the memory inside us. Nabila Izzati presented about the four seasons and how the seasons changed according to the month. I learned some new facts about rainbow from Nazifah’s presentation such as; the size of the rainbow is actually a round shape and not half like what we usually see. After that, Mariana presented on the history of the Titanic, how it crashed with an iceberg and why there were so many passengers and crews died from that accident and a lot more on facts of the tragedy of this famous ship. 

During Zarwanie’s presentation on plastic surgery, she showed the rank of the country which has the higher percentage of the people who practise this plastic surgery. Not only that, she also showed the terrifying pictures of those who failed at their plastic surgery, like Michael Jackson. Finally, the last presenter for that day is Grace. She presented about water birth. She said there were actually a lot of pros and cons when it comes to this birth method such as the baby can easily out from his mother because of the position of the mother which is; the mother is sitting, thus the gravity will help it a lot. But for the cons, the surrounding might be a bit dirty, but she said that she decided to give birth in this way in the future and that is why she presented this topic to us.
