Thursday, July 24, 2008 - [Prototype ! Lego mania !]
Peekaboo (:
It's the third day of the workshop! Ahaha, I didn't bother to upload any pics in yesterday's post as I was.. lazy =x
So this was the long long queue, it's actually longer, 'cause I didn't stay there, I went to jalan jalan ahaha!!
All the little people.. crowding at one place.. ahaha, imagine the bewildered passerbys.. Good business for Kodak! (Frankly, I don't like their customer service there)
Winnie, me and Peggy ^^
Tried to avoid other people from taking pictures, failed.. LOL. I think some other people's blog have my pics !@%@$^!@#^&*(?
Okay okay, about today!! We had a lecture right at the start of the day, gosh! Trying to put us to sleep at 8am, who are you kidding?
We had tea break and went back to class to sketch our prototype. In case I've forgotten to mention, we're doing a project to tackle the "Ageing Population", our mission for this workshop is to redesign Vivocity to suit the elderly. We have assumed that most of the elderly are also partially disabled.
Even though the elderly might not like the changes we make specially for them, they have to accept it. Dodo says old people are sensitive and take some time to accept the fact they have special needs. But, there are also a bunch of them that complain about current services and have difficulties, since we can't satisfy everyone, we'll go with the majority (:
Our prototype is a lego model~! and also a few pieces of drawing haha! Me and Merwyn handled lego from 11.30am to 5.30pm, power okay! My fingers have lego imprints now grawwhhh..
The giant box of Lego that TIF borrowed from LegoLand specially for us! We were assigned to improve the Shopping Experience for the elderly, so we decided to build a prototype of the Hypermart.
Look at Eugenia's and my shoes (:
LOL *sorts pieces by colour* (Tedious okay!!)
Merwyn, Jiongrui, Eugenia and Jean attempted to make the ground of Vivo's Hypermart, 'cause there wasn't a board given D: I went to make smaller models to fill up the new and improved Hypermart ^^
There's Old Chang Kee in our Hypermart. LOLLLL, apparently old people patronize it despite it being unhealthy.. haha!
Eugenia created a step-ladder, 'cause we noticed that the Hypermart had really high shelves. (PS: the step-ladder is supposed to have wheels and locks.)
Information Counters and 4D ticket counters put inside the Hypermart itself, in case the elderly get lost in the... wilderness.
Everyone gave up making the ground of the Hypermart, Merwyn persevered alone, skipping lunch to continue~ The rest discouraged him continuously, but he stayed firm saying he would even camp overnight to complete it. Haha, I think I was the only one who encouraged him on and on to complete it.
Colour-coded Cashiers!
Grey = 10 items and less queue
Red = Normal queue
Orange = Dialect Speaking employees
The taller shelves to stack up all the goods.
Shorter shelves for easy access and convenience ^^
Urm.. Cool frozen food section LOL, they have different levels... right??
And there, Merwyn still building his floor.. all alone.. LOL well I'm there building the other stuff.
Merwyn stomping! LOL I felt tremours..
It's a double-layered floor btw..
Hollow toilets LOL.
Hollow Benches! (I don't like making solid blocks!) I went to rest after building all these little furniture as Eugenia so nicely put it..
Jiongrui had nothing to do as he finished drawing everything. (Eugenia and Jean were colouring meanwhile) He kept scorning at Merwyn saying he was doing meaningless stuff and he should stop his floor-work. Jiongrui gathered spare yellow blocks and started connecting them into a... sword?
Physics: Stability.
LOL mission accomplished: Build a .. tower taller than Jiongrui
I stopped slacking and constructed a .. bakery LOL. There were insufficient orange blocks!
Alcohol Cupboard (:
LOL I stepped out of my comfort zone and made the blocks tilt, it rests there very precariously.
People kept coming and going, and knocking stuff over, and I had to rebuilt my furniture again and again 'cause they were so fragile, esp the Alcohol Cupboard, shelves and Frozen Food section. I was like ..
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOT la, you knock down again, you rebuild everything for me."
People like YunPeng found me funny and laughed and laughed ._. rawr!
"You think very easy isit? You build for me now!"
*YunPeng laughs*
"OEI! Stop laughing la, faster build la, you so pro, still sit there and laugh, come on la! Build!"
*YunPeng laughs harder*
...
Merwyn completed the floor!!!
YongHong: wow, you completed your grass!
(PS: Merwyn is called 'grasshead' for I have no idea what reason.)
It's really admirable la.. he took around 4hours to complete it, and no one helped him, pro ma? His sense of achievement must be dayuum high ~! (: *pats Merwyn on the back*
Sadly, it fell to pieces when he attempted to pick it up. So... an additional layer was added on the underside and there were holes here and there. Kaying, Eugenia, YunPeng, ZhiYong, QinYu and Wilfred came and helped, but they all left after adding a few pieces. They apparently used mismatched pieces which made Merwyn, Kaying and I redo the layer again, by then we were all super tired and unhappy 'cause it was really back-breaking to bend over and fix these little blocks.. then ShuHui came to help as well ^^..
We completed it at around 5.15pm okay.. Took dayuum long to complete a FLOOR, all because no board was provided .. ._. Then we stuck on my lovely furniture ^^
TADAHHH~!~!
(ignore the little black patches)
OH, the floor is green 'cause there were excessive green blocks.
O_O Wilfred added a cross tower there. HAHA! He claimed it would be easier for the elderly to locate the Information Counter. LOL!
Dodo, RuoLan, WeiKai, JiangYan and QinYu's prototype, the new improved recreational areas, modified soccer field, ampitheatre and kopitiam..
The Denture.Adventure group..
DOTOP had 3 prototypes from 3 groups. Denture.Adventure only had one complete one, haha~ we were comparing our teachers and our efforts put in etc etc ..
I think I'm gonna stay away from lego for a long long time now.. many teachers and facilitators came to watch us build and commended us (:
