On 31st Dec is our last class.. i was so relieve because we had done all our assignment and can concentrate on our final exam.. but deep in my heart, i was very thankful to our lecturer because by entering this class for this semester, i gain a lot of experience and knowledge. it is just a simple and interesting class. and i learn a lot on it.. i learn how to use a random word and mind map which is very useful for me. i was very thankful to mr radzi and ms helena for create a create and interesting class.. thank you!!!!
i wish u a happy new year and luv you!! XOXO :P
and here is some sort in our presentation
Here is the method that we use to create our creative solutions....
we used random word which is hospital... this word was very helpful and give a lot of idea to us...
and here are our 5 solutions...
1. An automatic system which going to buckle up the seat belt itself.
2. A creepy sound(eg:accident crash)system that automatically turn on when engine started without rear passenger wearing seat belt.
3. A smelly chemical smoke will come out from the aircond when engine started without rear passenger buckle up their seat belt
4. The engine can't be turn on when rear passenger not wearing the seat belt.
5. The window will automatically open and close non stop until rear passenger wearing seatbelt.
We decided to choose solutions no 1 as the best solution. but after consult with mr Radzi, he thinks that no 4 is the best solution to us....
Essay
How to ensure rear passenger wearing seat belt
The good things about not wearing a seatbelt are that you can move around more and you can lie down. The bad thing about not wearing a seat belt is that you can die and hurt yourself. My goal is to get people to wear their seat belts but if you do keep up the good work. The reason you should wear a seat belt is that your family doesn’t want you to die, they want you to live and if you don’t wear your seat belt and you’re in an car accident that maybe the last time you see your family. Even if you go to the mall and you live two miles away you can die if you don’t have your seat belt on.
This is actually the situation you face when the front of your car hits something at only fifteen miles per hour. The car stops in the first tenth of a second, but you keep on going that same rate you were going until something stops you like the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield if you’re not wearing a safety belt. If you don’t wear your seat belt it’s like running into a wall and you knocked yourself out. The forty thousand people could be you some day. The injuries that happen are very bad like broken bones, bruises, dislocation, and head and brain injuries.
What’s your reason for not wearing a seatbelt? Is it because you don’t care if you die because that’s what’s going to happen sometime if you don’t wear a seatbelt? Or don’t you know that it can kill you if you don’t wear your seatbelt? "I won’t be in an accident: I’m a good driver" Your good driving will help you avoid accidents but even if you’re a good driver a bad driver may still hit you. That would be an accident. "I’m only going to the shopping center." Actually, this is the best time to wear a safety belt, since eighty percent of traffic fatalities occur within twenty-five miles of home and under forty miles an hour. "I don’t need a seatbelt; I’ve got an air bag." Lucky you! An airbag increases the effectiveness of a safety belt by forty percent and if you want to die there’s your chance because it can kill you, because it pushes on your lungs and makes it hard to breathe if you’re a kid or if you’re an adult.
Reason for not wearing seatbelt
"I'm afraid the belt will trap me in the car." Statistically, the best place to be during an accident is in your car. If you're thrown out of the car, you're 25 times more likely to die. And if you need to get out of the car in a hurry - as in the extremely tiny percent of accidents involving fire or submergence - you can get out a lot faster if you haven't been knocked unconscious inside your car.
"They're uncomfortable." Actually, modern safety belts can be made so comfortable that you may wonder if they really work. Most of them give when you move - a device locks them in place only when the car stops suddenly. You can put a little bit of slack in most belts simply by pulling on the shoulder strap. Others come with comfort clips, which hold the belt in a slightly slackened position. If the belt won't fit around you, you can get a belt extender at most car dealerships.
For most people, buckling the seat belt when they get in a vehicle is automatic. One may even call it second nature, implying a life long habit. Occupant restraint systems such as seat belts have come a long way since their inception. Unfortunately, bad habits are hard to break and many operators and passengers have not yet developed valued skills essential to survival in the traffic jungle.
- In 1968, Federal law required manufacturers to install seat belts in passenger cars and light trucks. During those 30 years, seat belt usage has been enhanced and promoted through redesign, awareness campaigns, and enforcement. In addition to lap and shoulder harness, supplemental systems such as air bags, head restraints, collapsible steering, and recessed knobs were added to help minimize injuries.
- Child passenger safety week, recognized during the second week of February, and the National Buckle Up America Week, recognized the week before Memorial Day weekend, highlight awareness initiatives.
- As of December 1997, 49 states and the
- During a crash, the fabric or webbing of the belt stretches slightly, dissipates the energy, and extends the time that the deceleration forces are experienced by the occupant. This allows the occupant to “ride down” the crash. The lap belt holds the occupant in the vehicle while the shoulder harness provides restraint for the upper chest and shoulders. In newer vehicles, air bags supplement the seat belts by cushioning the front seat occupants. Experts have found it is usually the second collision that injures and kills people. When one car hits another car or object, this is the first collision. The second collision occurs when unbelted occupants are thrown into or around the car’s interior or thrown from the vehicle. If an occupant is seat belted, there is no second collision.
- The average observed seat belt use rate in states with primary enforcement laws was less than 80 percent, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. European industrial nations boast 85 percent usage rates. NHTSA data also show that in 1997, 32,213 occupants of passenger vehicles were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. If all passenger vehicle occupants wore safety belts, 20,351 lives could have been saved in 1997.
- Research has found that lap and shoulder safety belts, when used, reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passenger car occupants by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate-to-critical injury by 50 percent. For light truck occupants, safety belts reduce the risk of fatal injury by 60 percent and moderate-to-critical injury by 65 percent.
- Among passenger vehicle occupants, safety belts saved an estimated 10,750 lives and air bags an estimated 842 lives in 1997. As our streets and highways become more congested, we cannot afford to be complacent or unprotected.
Accidents will continue, that’s for certain, but securing our seat belts every time we operate our vehicles is the best insurance we have for surviving an accident.The perfect restraint system may be designed in the future. Until then, we must continue to improve on the use rate. We can make a significant difference.
Nationwide surveys show that the best seat belt use rate is 79 percent -- one-hundred percent seat-belt usage is an achievable goal. Failure to wear a seat belt contributes to more fatalities than any other single traffic safety-related behavior. 63% of people killed in accidents are not wearing seat belts. Wearing a seat belt use is still the single most effective thing we can do to save lives and reduce injuries on
Data suggests that education alone is not doing the job with young people, especially males ages 16 to 25 the age group least likely to buckle up. They simply do not believe they will be injured or killed. Yet they are the nation's highest-risk drivers, with more drunk driving, more speeding, and more crashes. Neither education nor fear of injury or death is strong enough to motivate this tough-to-reach group.
Rather, it takes stronger seat belt laws and high visibility enforcement campaigns to get them to buckle up.Seat belts are the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save 9,500 lives each year. Yet only 68 percent of the motor vehicle occupants are buckled. In 1996, more than 60 percent of the occupants killed in fatal crashes were unrestrained.
If 90 percent of Americans buckle up, we will prevent more than 5,500 deaths and 132,000 injuries annually.The cost of unbuckled drivers and passengers goes beyond those killed and the loss to their families. We all pay for those who don't buckle up in higher taxes, higher health care and higher insurance costs.
On average, inpatient hospital care costs for an unbelted crash victim are 50 percent higher than those for a belted crash victim. Society bears 85 percent of those costs, not the individuals involved. Every American pays about $580 a year toward the cost of crashes. If everyone buckled up, this figure would drop significantly.
By reaching the goal of 90 percent seat belt use, and 25 percent reduction in child fatalities, we will save $8.8 billion annually. With no seatbelt to stop the driver with the car, the driver flies free until stopped suddenly by impact on the steering column, windshield, etc. The stopping distance is estimated to be about one fifth of that with a seatbelt, causing the average impact force to be about five times as great. The work done to stop the driver is equal to the average impact force on the driver times the distance traveled in stopping. A crash which stops the car and driver must take away all its kinetic energy, and the work-energy principle then dictates that a shorter stopping distance increases the impact force.
While seatbelts do occasionally contribute to serious injury or death, nearly all safety experts agree that buckling up dramatically increases your chances of surviving an accident. According to the NHTSA, seatbelts reduce the risk of death for a front seat car occupant by about 50 percent.
For the conclusion, by Using a rear seat belt can reduce the risk of death by up to 50 per cent, according to a recent study conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros).
Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin said the study entitled "An Assessment of Rear Seat Belt Availability and Accessibility" also showed that using a rear seat belt could reduce serious injuries.
The compulsory rear seat belt ruling, which will be enforced on Jan 1, will not burden motorists as the study shows that 90 per cent of cars on the road are already fitted with them, he said when responding to a question from Senator Datuk Wang Siong Hwee in the Dewan Negara today.Wang wanted to know the number of casualties among passengers not wearing rear seat belts and help for those who could not afford to fix them.
Lajim said the government had sought the cooperation of car companies to fix rear seat belts for free.According to the Miros study, of 6,282 road casualties last year, 350 were back seat passengers not wearing seat belts, he said, adding that 175 of them could have survived had they worn seat belts.
To a question from Senator Heng Seai Kei whether cars manufactured before 1995 would be exempted from the ruling, Lajim said the cars might no longer be on the road, otherwise they would have been banned by the Road Transport Department or the Computerised Vehicle Inspection System Centre (Puspakom).

"If I Were A Boy"
[Verse]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[Verse]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed
[Bridge]
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
[Chorus 2]
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

I was so impress on this lyrics. for me, it is the way to express women heart to all the boy out there.... when first time i heard this song, i started to like it because for me this lyrics is kinda sad and it touch my heart.
Not only for me, many guys out there will think about what a girl want. we as a girl, we had our soft feeling and always loyal towards their relationship. but when it comes to a boy, the wont think anything about their partner. they always selfish and treat a woman just like the lyrics....
im not stereotype here, but want i was just give my opinion on this lyrics. not all boy are like this lyrics... my father was a great man and i always respect him... im just saying what people esp girl think about this lyrics... it is kinda creative for me.. and i was enjoy listening this song......
-Sharp
-Smelly
_ Green
- Sphere
-yellow
-big
-delicious
-can eat
Mr Radzi ask us to create some thing that so scary for human. At first i dont have any idea what im going to do.. but then after the few minutes thinking i decided to draw the scary thing based on the idea of random word... here is some idea of it...
1) to create a fear to people, I will create one room to avoid people to enter that room.. once you enter the room, you cant get out of the room and the smelly come out until the human cant breath till he/she die....
2) create a deep room which had a thorn at the ground. once poeple jump to the room, they will die because of the thorn at the lower ground.
Juxtaposition- A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words.
The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or word next to each other. When 2 things put side by side, your brain try to figure what is the relationship between these two?
What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning. Usually from something familiar to something less familiar.
Class exercise :-
Mr Radzi ask us to think 3 numbers from 1-100. I choose 09,10, and
86. Why I choose these 3 numbers because it is the combination of my birthday. I was born on 9th October 1986. That was the reason why I choose these 3 numbers. Then Mr Radzi give us a list of word and ask us to make a combination from these 3 numbers. Here are the list of words :
1.flower 0.head
2.lightning 9.rain
3.ice 8.wood
4.light 7.tree
5.fire 6.spider
6.duck 5.root
7.dog 4.mountain
8. oil 3. wind
9. leave 2. rock
0. fly 1. water
From the list and the numbers that I choose, I get the combination of fly rain, flower head, and oil spider.
Then, we should build a sentence from the combination that we get.
FLY RAIN
1) I wish I can fly through the rain
FLOWER HEAD
2) My friend put the flower at my head
OIL SPIDER
3)The shape of the oil is just like spiderweb
These two images i create based on the word that i got. this is one of the example of Juxtaposition.
Love is like a mountain,
Once you love someone you'll feel like you are standing on top of the world,
When you have someone in your heart,
You feel like you are brave and strong.
Life is like an ice cream
It has variety of flavor
Sometimes it sweet, sometimes it was so
But when it melt, it can give us a mess.
Love is like a branded watch,
You have to spend a lot when u want it,
The more you spend, the more you'll appreciate it,
But once it broke, you'll feel the pain and regret it for the rest of your life..
Life is like a sports car,
It moves fast and have a lot of complicated things,
You have to learn and compete each other to achieve your goals(destination)
When you'll reach the destination there will be some consequences on it,
So beware and think properly when you want to do something.....
Love is weird,
You can do anything when you love someone,
Love will bring a lot of happiness
you can do anything no matter how hard it is,
to be loved, is the best feeling that you cant forget.
Love is like a credit card,
Just swap it, and you'll get whatever you want,
But when you have go beyond the limit,
You'll hurt and you cant turn it back.
Men is like a trash bin,
they will put anything they want on it,
sometimes they are smelly and sometimes they could be nice,
but when it comes to love,
they will try to get anything that they want,
no matter it is new or old,
woman always in their mind.
