From the interview, the image of Liana is : The "Spatula"

She is a wonderful, kind, polite and great person. After interviewing her, I have decided to describe her as the "Spatula". It is because I took of all the answers from all the questions
I questioned her in the interviewing session and interpret those as the "Spatula". The reasons are as below:

1. Her name starts with "Iz", which sounds like sharpy-pointy thing. Hence the spatula is sharp! :)
2. She has 4 siblings, as the spatula has 4 pointed shape at its front side.
3. She loves purple, which indicates the color of the ambience of cooking because cooking also is one of my favorite things to do and I see cooking as a beautiful way in expressing our creativity where spatula main use is acquired most.
4. She loves to watch films with drama and comedy genre. There can be drama in using a spatula. You can be hurt, happy, and also get killed by using it. There is also sometime you can put comedy in it too.
5. The main thing is, she loves cooking, like me! :)

From the interview, the image of Arif is : The 'S hook'.

"As looking at the person , we can tell that he is such a simple and warm person.After interviewing him, i decide to describe him by picture him as a ' S hook'.Why i choose the 'S hook' to represent him is because the listed criteria of him is beginning with the 'S' letter.He is Simple, Slim,Smart,loves to Sleep,Sweet person,loves to Smile,loves to play Scrabble,such a Secretive person,hates Shrimp,prefer the taste of the cooking to be Salty than Sweet and many more to be listed.

The physical of the 'S hook' which can be use both side of the 'S tails.Either one of the tails can be hooked strongly everywhere that we wish to hook it.This explains he is a kind of when he believes in something,he will hold strongly in what he believes in.The other tails of the S hook which can be use to hook other things on it such as clothes etc, implicitly describing him as a person that we can rely or lean to.He is a very responsible person.If a responsible has been given to him, he will make sure he accomplished it.That is why i said that he is a person that we can be lean to.

The S hook is simple and slim that can be perfectly fit to the criteria of him.It can be use to hook a lot of things; we can rely to him in various field since he is a very responsible person."
