In this project, I had learned how to create a game and how to manage a game. I did start off my game without rules and I realize that game are more fun with rules and regulation. Besides, it is a very hard task in order to make your game interesting and attractive. Somehow, I managed to finished the booklet by thinking of out box.

Then, when it comes to the group part, we got miss communication at first and it lead up to mess. Pinky (my group leader) called up a meeting and discussion to solve the problem and we had encounter it very well as it doesn't happen again after that. We plan and divided jobs to each group member and it lighten our load that carry on our shoulder for this project.

During this project, the some of my initial idea was rejected by my lecturer as I'm no doing deeper research about city.

I'd enjoy the trip quite well , i felt like i'm a part of the environments . Study, fun and medication came to me at the same time as well . I like the resort but i felt sad when i spotted some pollution is going on at the reservoir , it seem like it's our duty to take care of the beauty of nature . This project also taught me how to jot down everything i see not in just note form , even in mind mapping , doddle-ing and even more. Moreover, I'd realize the important role played by nature that conservation and restoration progress is more than important, the balance between nature and mankind should be maintained.
