Got the news that our member Jen couldn't make it for the trip so as Mr Asrizal advised, we segregate the task. So we each know what to do.

Presentation review feedback from Ms Anis, she mentioned to break down the take away to be more specific like minimal layout, show the posters/photos, then the message. Need to see the progress, and while presenting recap back the research questions, address it and the findings that answered it. Our conclusion is sufficient and enough. As for the products, photo booth might be appealing but it requires construction. Documentary might be hard but it is fitting for final.

REFLECTION_
EXPERIENCES
Week 04
Felt a bit concerned as the virus is going around and is affecting this project too, but we will make it work and hopefully not miss anything that we need. Other than that I'm excited about finally going to Tokyo.
Week 05
Navigating around Tokyo with the train system is a bit confusing but it is very efficient. To sum it up, the trip is really memorable.
Week 06
Coming back from the trip didn't help on my motivation at all and I wasn't having a lot of ideas for the final so I felt a bit lost, but thankfully I was back on track when there's group meetings.
Week 07
I started editing my personal vlogs, which is a lot of fun to be honest I like seeing it being a complete piece of work and took into account of what Mr Ameer told us during his talk a few weeks back.
OBSERVATIONS
Week 04
We are prepared for next week's trip, so I was focused on working on the Information Design project.
Week 05
Since there's a set schedule especially during day 2, I couldn't film as much video that I wanted for the final. And sometimes when were traveling around can't film as much, as there's a lot of people around and we might get lost if we don't follow the crowd. I also noticed that the different temples we went to have different material for the ladle that is used for purifying which is interesting.
Week 06
Motivation and self discipline is quite important for this week and the few coming weeks in order for us to finish everything to the best of our ability.
Week 07
While
listening to other groups' presentation, it was interesting to see what
they've observed and if I noticed the things or didn't.
FINDINGS
Week 04
Everything happens for a reason, so I should have more trust in myself and my group to gather all the data needed.

Week 05
I'm glad there wasn't any conflict in general so the trip was very enjoyable and smooth. Some of us have bonded to be closer with each other through this trip.
Week 06
I noticed that I can't really work without meeting at a set aside time, it is due to my motivation being so low and felt very tired.
Week 07
To have to apply our findings to Malaysia, actually wasn't that hard when we came up with the second idea.
