Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - [The Idea Factory Innovation Workshop]
Greetings (: My headache has finally subsided so I can type without feeling pain, today was the start of EnC week (Explorers & Connectors) It's an annual thing, sec 1s I think are having games and overnight camp, sec 2s are gone to West Malaysia for a 3D2N field trip and the sec 3s have been sent to OBS ^^
So what about us, the senior citizens? We have a workshop brought to us by The Idea Factory, which I shall refer to as TIF for short (:
Happy Birthday to Qinyu ~ Winnie and I got her that prezzie, and oh no it's so NOT a hat!!!
Back to our TIF Innovation Workshop~ it spans over 4 days, and here's our theme, "It Only Takes a Spark!"
Our class was divided into 2, the Oddballs and Evenballs. LOL. ahhh, we the oddies have a cool JC Chemistry Teacher called Sean Tan while the evenies have Mr.Desmond.Lim, the Humanities teacher.. oooh, suay or what? They were super serious throughout the day while we slacked and chatted and played games etc. But well, I guess they'll reap more since they've been so.. committed to the project!
We had to design logos for our Team. Oh, we aren't called Oddball or Oddies, we're called
"D.O.T.O.P"
wanna guess why?
LOL seems interesting right? D.O.T.O.P. ahahaha!
Our project is to overcome the ageing population by meeting the needs of the elderly, and where do we start? Changing shopping centres to accomodate the elderly, 'cause it is predicted that in 2030, 1 in 5 ppl you see will be above the age of 65, gee, that's gonna be something.
OH, back to D.O.T.O.P~
Everyone knows what DOTA is right, Defence of the Ancients, so DOTOP is ..
"Defence of the Old People"
wowness right? dayuum cool LOL.
Andddd, so our 3 ideas for a logo!
My group's design LOL.
Crossbow = Gun
Walking Stick = Sword
Wheelchair Tire = Shield
Skull = Old People
It rocks, I know (:
Mr Tan: Looks like you're gonna send them to their grave.
Group 3's awesome design, gone is the "Defence of the Old People", it's now "Defence of the Old Pikachu"
Pikachus can't survive without their daily food - ChocoLOUD's Chocolate Rojak :DD
A guardian angel watches over the Fortress of Pikachus
While the older generation of Pikachus tremble in fear within the Fortress Gates, the brave young and able-bodied Pikachus get ready to ZAP all the enemies, and send shivers down all their spines with their ultimate "RAWRR!"
The young Pikachu defenders swore to protect their elderly regardless of Season..
Regardless of Rain or Shine..
(PS: That's not a toilet bowl, it's a canon, even though it's hard to believe.)
Mr Tan: Ohh... I thought it looked like hell !
Group 2's Analogy.
The scared and weak old citizens enter the hall of fame where they see... The wonder Defenders of the Old People.
They leave feeling secure and contented, thus the smile (:
Mr Tan: Why is there.. Defence of the Old Peggy? O_O
We also had to do a montage after watching a video. The video was meant to be our inspiration, come lemme tell you about the interview in the video.
It was about a 78 year old widower living alone 'cause his wife passed away a year ago and his 2 sons had immigrate to Australia, called Tan Kim Hua. He has no social life and doesn't leave his home unless to buy groceries. He has poor physique, 'cause he looks very unfit and takes 20minutes to walk to the Grocery Store and cannot carry heavy objects (But that's normal, considering his age) He thinks he looks young, 'cause right at the start he said "I don't look that old right?" So maybe he's a tad self-delusional. He lost contact with all his friends after he moved house, and he doesn't make any new friends, simply 'cause he doesn't have a Coffee Shop under his new flat, which implies his laziness. He also can't be bothered to learn which bus goes where and thus doesn't leave his home. So what does it do all day? He is very obsessed with soccer, he loves the English League, Spanish League, Italian League and best of all, The World Cup. He watches soccer every hour, even up til 4am. He used to play when he was younger but sadly is unable to play now. Finally, he is a very patriotic citizen as he refuses to leave Singapore.
Now isn't he just the most inspiring character?
We had to do a montage as I said earlier, so TIF has apparently stolen magazines from Cathay Pacific just for us, dayuum I feel honoured.
The TIF company apparently cares alot about us, and they fed us very well, 3 meals in 5hours, wow! The LT sessions were excellent lullabys after eating our meals, and we had alot of spare time as well. D.O.T.O.P played Truth or Dare, which then ended up becoming, The Dare Game.
What went on between D.O.T.O.P stays within D.O.T.O.P members, just know that you will gasp horrifically if you were to know what poor WeiKai had to do as his dare. Merwyn also did his bit of entertainment, so did Dodo and QinYu. Kaying however, was saved by the bell~
We also played a silly slapping game called "ABCD" and my thanks to Peggy's powerful slaps, my blood vessels popped and it looks so .. whatever, it hurts like TOOT, LiLin held back her swear words (:
You cant really see, but there are 31 red spots on my hand.. geez..
Also! Our class had a new addition, YunPeng hanged me and RuoLan's wedding bell on the EXIT sign to remind the class every time the door is opened that we are married, taken, so don't even try flirting or anything, although we both already have affairs.
Jiongrui seems to have some problem with Sonorus and Metallic sounds, so he took the bell down and accidentally ripped the EXIT sign out as well.. ._. So now.. it's dangling precariously, and the front door has been locked to prevent any poor soul from being knocked out.
Released at 4.45pm x_x
Interesting day aye?
See ya (:
