Project 1: Green- Go 2013 International Short Film Contest
As we all know, now a day, environmental issues have become a great concern for mankind at present time becaise these issues are affecting the earth and us badly. So, this project intends to encourage us to do our part by producing a short film that reflects these concerns and to part if the change for a better world and be on the big screen with our creative thoughts. This contest consists of three catogories, which are 'Life in plastic, it's fantastic?', 'Water - the drop of life', 'Stayin' alive'. From these three categories, we have to choose one and make out either a campaign film or a short film. For me, I chose to do 'Stayin' alive' in a campaign film. The following is the video.
The reason why I chose this categories is because I find that now a days the problem of extinction of animals is getting serious and serious. Animals are the second friends of humans. So, we have to give a great awareness of the extinct animals. Not only animals, we also have to increase our awareness of current environment issues locally and globally. As a human being, we have to play our role and responsibilities toward our environment and society.
Project 2: Appreciating Environment - NOTHING IS CONSIDERED WASTE
This project is divided into two parts which are group work and individual work. Now a day, construction waste can be considered as one of the main factor that can gives serious impact to our environment. So, this project required us to go to a site visit. From the site, we have to know what are the wasted materials and how and why are they wasted. Besides, we also have to collect the wasted materials to use them to produce and exhibit beautiful object.
In my group, we went for two sites. The first one is Glenmarie Cove in Klang, the second one is
UJS 3A in Subang Jaya. From these two sites, the main wasted materials that we had collected were wooden plank, PVC pipe, aluminium panel, floor tile, brick, polyethylene, autoclaved aerated concrete, rebar ect. Throughout the several times of discussion with my group mates, finally, we had finished our presentation board.

In second part of this subject which is an individual work, I had chosen the wasted aluminium panel to make out a lamp stand. I arranged the aluminium panel in a circular layers form and fixed them together with wires by penetrating the wires through the panel. The gaps between the panels allow the light to penetrate out. The following pictures are my DIY lamp stand from wasted aluminium panels.

Throughout the project, I did learnt a lot of things. It made me understand the impact of non-using or non-recycling construction waste to our environment. Besides, it allowed me to demonstrate my understanding and knowledge of materials life cycle and recycling creatively. Lastly, I really realised that team work and communication are very important. I really want to thank to my group mates and my tutor, Mr Sanjay, I appreciate a lot during the process of completing this project.
