Color, Symbol and Image

The color i have selected is blue. For Chinese New Year, everyone one in my family are stressed out out over the preparation for it, like what to eat, what to do on the say itself and what relatives are we visiting.

The symbol is of a horse. Reason being that this is the symbol I am seeing most often, be it from the new year decorations or from the well wishes from relatives and friends.

The image I have chosen is that of drinks. Every Chinese New Year, what leaves me with the deepest impression has always been the food and drinks. From the traditional new year goodies to the meals filled with love made by my families, they are always hard to forget.

Personal Reflection for Lessons 1-3

I have learnt the importance of observation, to gather thoughts and meaning from what seen. Particularly how one needs to look beyond just what is on the meer surface. For me, I still require practice using the 'thought, think, wonder' thinking routine when reflecting and analyzing things, not, be it the meaning to myself or to others. Also, I have realized how communication is just as critical as observation. What use is understanding when we can't communicate our ideas, emotions and experiences when needed to do so? We need to capture the audiences' attention, to be able to organize what said in order for it to be effective. In order to make a persuasive and effective point.
