conclusion:

section one: From what we’ve collected, it seems that our target users who are students tend to get bothered by school assignments and friends.
They tend to feel angry, sad or happy about something. Their happiness last and as for the anger though they felt bad and irritated, the solution to it is still completing the task.

section two : Our target users are more to the postive side or neutral, whereas there are some who thinks and get bothered by the same issues and therefore get depressed over it.

section three: Through the photo exercise they tend to reflect on their lives,and think about the past memories they had. Start to realise thing that they didn’t really notice before and express it through this exercise.

section four : Most people are afraid to make eye contact with the camera, pauses like saying ‘uhm…’ and kept their head down. They get bothered by people’s opinion about their personality and character and will be willing to listen to those comments to improve or change themselves to give people a better impression.

In conclusion for our probe package, we think that people usually like to remise their past memories whenever they saw something meaningful.
Angryness or being irritated last for a few hours and it will be gone. Although they are feeling that way, they’ll still do what they are supposed to do.
However there are people who will keep thinking about that issue and did nothing over it or leave it to later.

Singapore Design Festival 2009

Went for the Singapore Design Festival 2009 on 26th November with some fellow classmates. It was only until someone did a survey with me, then i know that the slogan this year for this event is “Design 2050, possibilities for tomorrow”. So, always do some homework before going there to avoid such embarassing scene. But overall, i did enjoy this visit

Didnt managed to capture alot of pictures, infact just a pathetic few. Too afraid that some security people will just come up to me and ask me to stop capturing and take away my phone. Coward.

Came across this interesting booth with the concept of replacing bullets with spray paints. Yes, those rifle guns used in war. Instead of bullets and bloodsheds, they thought of replacing it with spray paints and different colors to “seize” the territority. Unlike normal war, those army just keep killing the opponent and the innocents in order for the opponent country to give up on something (Eg, territory, oil, food etc)
With these, aint the world gonna be more peaceful, less bloodshed and also less pain. Although i know this is kinda hard to turn true, but I thought this is an interesting idea though.
They have some interactive games used with wii for us to play too! It took me awhile to realise that its connected with wii.
*sorry, no pictures taken for this >.<*

Last but not least, the booth which leaves me a deep impression.


V for Vase

The reason why i like this the most because i feel they managed to illustrate life through an object which we see it almost everyday but never pay much attention to, vase.
One of the most fragil ornament, and we too, humans are fragil too. No one is superman or superwoman to withstand everything.
I think a vase is more than just the meaning found in the dictionary -”An open container, usually used for holding flowers or for ornamentation”
That goes the same for human beings.

IMM Good Experience

Filming Experience.

This is a good experience for me because its the first time doing things which normal people wont even get a chance to try it ? hahahahahaahahahha .And also the procedure of getting a film done isnt as easy as what you have seen on the tv.Sure they might look very nice ,with all the “feel” there but i realise in order to get the mood and “feel” there ,for just a 5 second scene ,you need to like shoot like maybe even up to hours just to get the correct “feel“.
Its interactive because you got to interact with all the people there to get things right .For example ,a director gotta communicate with everyone in the scene (actors ,actresses ,the props people ,the setting up people ,EVERYONE etc) in order to achieve the end result he desire.

Kendo Experience

Kendo practices the mind ,the soul and the spirit .I took up kendo because initially i thought it was a korean sports=.= But putting that aside ,after experiencing how kendo was like after my first few orientation there ,i realise in order to excel well in kendo ,you gotta really focus well and have good endurance .It trains the mentality too and most importantly ,help me to relieve stress from this hard-core course .But sadly ,majority of the singaporean have no idea what kendo is and thought its all about using a stick and just start whacking.

I used this picture because it show me “sparring” with a guy who is like one head taller than me. This shows that even though i’m a girl ,in kendo we are all equal.
