It’s origami. I had a really fun time, making each little piece, from the drawers to the trousers. Of course, the trousers and drawers combo was the center piece for this side quest. And the pants do fit perfectly into the sliding drawers.
I created and posted my own tutorial down below on how to fold an origami trouser so that you guys can all learn how to extraordinarily fold paper pants during this time. Hopefully, origami will be a nice hobby for you to start with.
This is one of the hardest home taskings for me to think of. I was confused of what to do with my trousers and limited resources. Then I looked at my apples and think it would be cool to have a digestion process recorded. I took photos for each step and make a video to connect these photos.
This is inspired by many bottles of water I have in my room. And that makes it perfect for me to use them for bowling. And the ball needs to be relative large in size and heavy. My extra vegetable oil becomes the top choice to knock my bottles down.
I was trying to figure out what to do for this hometask assignment and got a little hungry…so I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone? Here’s what I did:
Without referring to anyone else’s hometasks, I did pooling with frozen fishball with the chopstick as the cue stick and class cups as the holes, which is basically IDENTICAL with Ruohan’s post. So I rushed other basic weight lifting exercises, and I put the pooling as the bonus scene at the end of the hometask video. At first, I thought I was going to pretend like lifting and exercising, but when actually lifting the bottles of oil, I found there is no need to act. The bottles are genuinely heavy. My arms are aching now.
This here is my home tasking 6 video. For this home task, I used my calmer, but busy dog, Sasha to capture this extraordinary moment. I turned Sasha into the coolest dog ever, using a pair of trousers (and a cool little hat to spice up the look). Her face in the video says “I HATE IT HERE”, but I promise, she loves playing dress up. I think the hat was just a little much for her in term of size and fashion…
This home tasks took a lot of effort as I said previously, Sasha is a very very busy dog. I first tried it on my evil dog, Kase, but after several bites to my hand that gave me the clear message to leave him alone, I moved on to Sasha. Although it took several treat bribing, chasing around, and funny faces, this video came out great. I mean look at her… have you ever seen a cooler dog? (I mean, maybe if I would have put sunglasses on her, it would have enhanced the look even more, but I’m trying to avoid making her into a little diva). Right after this video, she shook everything off, but you know they say: nothing lasts forever.
PS. thank you Sasha for allowing me to interrupt your sleep for this assignment!
Reflection: This home task was one of my favorite ones. Although home tasks as a whole are challenging for me as my home is undergoing renovations, it was more calm this week and actually made me laugh which I needed. I think the home tasks allows you to interpret things in a multitude of ways as they keep the tasks broad which I really like. They don’t define what “extraordinary” means– they allow you to define it yourself. They didn’t give us a specific type of trousers we needed– we got to choose it for yourself. And this flexibility is the very thing that makes the home tasks not only doable, but exciting and versatile. In a state of quarantine, this is the very thing that society needs because it allows you to explore your imagination and escape from the horrid reality that we are forced to battle throughout this pandemic.
For this side quest, we had to do something interesting with a pair of “trousers” (this sounds ridiculous to me… they’re called pants). The first thing that came to my mind was a trick shot. If you’re wondering why the video cuts off at the end, it’s because the ball bounced out of the cup right after. I cut it off at that point so you could easily inspect the final frame and confirm that I made the shot. This shot took many, many tries, so I hope that me revealing the fact that the ball bounced out doesn’t take away from its exceptional nature. Here’s the video:
I had a great idea that even I am not able to accomplish it, I want to include it in my post: Wear all of my ski gears lying on my side on the floor and have a white bed sheets under my skies on the floor to mimic the skiing track, only if I have my ski gears with me.
So this is another plan I came up, including elements from the kitchen, a pan! I thought about using a tennis, but considering the amount of fragile kitchenware we have, I went to badminton that could cause a lower damage. And of course my old friend the cat who wasn’t invited intentionally.
