Falling behind

Well, guess this is going to be one long post. Let's head back to last Saturday. Had wanted to post this up, but as I wanted to add some colour to the post, decided to keep it till tonight when all the pictures were ready.


Last week met up with CATS group for our project on jaywalking. Looked simple at first, but on closer look, there was a lot more things that had to be done, such as information gathering on the Internet, photo taking, recording short clips, compilation of a report, designing, circulation and analysis of surveys and the design of slides for our presentation, all of which will be compiled into one report. If I'm not wrong, most of the people in JCs would be doing that as well, perhaps, on a larger scale. For us, everything was done in 3 days, compared to the one year or so time frame for Project Work, done by students in the JCs.

Our class..




We started off from Orchard MRT Station, and walked from Wisma Atria to Plaza Singapura. The moment we were on ground level, there were already jaywalkers around us. Our job during the walk was damn simple. Just snap away at jaywalkers or take video footage of them jaywalking, without being detected by the jaywalkers themselves. Along the way, we were sort of slacking, crapping around, taking photographs every now and then, chatting with two groups of student buskers along Orchard road, either helping them complete a task or taking a photograph with them. By the way, Jia Jia was the best. She completed 6 things on that day itself. 2 projects, 1 short meeting with friends, collection of promotional hamper and helping two groups of students. Actually, she started out with 2, while us guys started with only one thing in mind, to complete the project. Soon, we had more "mini tasks" to fulfill. We took photographs for two groups of students, the first was for fun, and the second group was for a national event, carried out by students from SMU. Upon arrival at Plaza Singapura, she sort of coerced us to join her in the queue to collect a free promotional hamper. Once done, we trained down to Woodlands to complete half of our project(a quarter was done 2 Thursdays ago in school, and the last quarter was done on Wednesday).




Here's a small portion of what we took Last Saturday:

Our "starting" point(Not exactly ours, but this was Jia Jia's starting point)

Things we did when we were bored:





We brought us back souvenirs!






Dinner & project @ Woodlands

Well, come to think of it, why was someone missing rom the picutres? Well, Yee Xiang had to meet a friend on that Saturday, and as we believed that it was a date, so maybe we should let him go, just in case we become the cause of a break-up.

Thursday was the submission day for our project, and everything was in place, until we ran into some problems during the presentation. The report was really well done this time, with little touch ups being done at the eleventh hour.

Today was the first and last Parents' Forum in school, as it was held only for the first year parents, to let them know moe about the education system in a polytechnic, a things such as the starting time each day, grading and examination system as well as the learning system are totally different from secondary schools. Only a handfull from our class turned up today, and there wasn't much things to comment about as well, as we spent like only 2 hours there talking to the lecturers and finding out about our grades, before heading for home. And, as expected, I did score straight As for the common tests last term. And, in less than 2 week's time, it will be the finals, and sadly, I had not started on revision of any sort. Well, will just have to start in the morning then, otherwise I would really lose sight of 4.0...
