Inspired by nature

Gachapon aka Toy Capsule Machines - 「ガチャポン」

Gachapon is toy capsules from coin dispensing machines. By turning the knob of the capsule machines to drop a capsule. 

So what inspired a Gachapon? 

Basically, it's just blind-boxes. They are similar to vending machines except the machines have a knob to turn in order for the capsules to drop. They are also known as blind purchase from a box because people do not know what will they get from the capsules when they turn the knob. The capsules are inspired by plastic bottle caps. 
(The name comes from the sound a machine makes: "gacha" when a dial is cranked and "pon" when the prize drops.)

Creative thinking games

Last Thursday, our class had a fun and exciting activity in class. Our creative thinking teacher played some creative mind games with the class. Each group had a piece of mahjong paper and colorful markers. My group consists of Wan Teng and I. The questions given by the teacher required us to think out of the box. I felt that this activity was very engaging and kept me awake the whole lesson. Unlike other creative thinking lessons that are just group discussion and group presentations, I felt that last week's lesson was more much fun as it allows me to think really hard and out of the box to solve the questions. All the questions require a lot of thinking and determination to solve it. There are many ways to solve the questions and I felt the sense of satisfaction after I managed to solve the questions. I'm glad to have Wan Teng as my partner to think and solve all the challenging questions. ^^
