Schoolie Schoolie School School

School has started for a week now but the first week was 'Activity Week' for us ID students. It was kinda like orientation where we did a small group project on a famous designer and had to present a panel and model in the exposition (exhibition) on Friday.

The serious stuff starts tomorroow, Monday. NOOOOO!!! I don't feel like starting school coz I have a feeling its going to be as busy as NUS. I wanna still be on holiday! I hope it'll go ok. Sometimes it can get a bit difficult as the other students start talking in Dutch. They do try to converse in English for my sake, but sometimes they unwittingly go back to Dutch and I get lost. And same goes for the tutors as well!

Well, here are some pictorial descriptions for my loyal readers...

First day at the cafeteria with the rest and Dom

We have a salon! (they even offer beard trimming for about Eur 5 I think)

Main lobby area

Revolving doors

Before: Our clay model, a remote control that Ettore Sottsass would've designed during the peak of his design life. (it might be the death of him if he saw what we did!)

After:

Workshop at Matrix. Its HUMONGOUS! And they have separate smaller rooms like a sanding room, clay room, etc.

And they have free supplies of paint, wooden sticks, colour paper, cardboards, etc. Plus, we have free Eur25 worth of printing. Stingy NUS only reimburses us up to S$25 for supplies and printing?! Darn NUS!



One of my favourites in the exposition. Haha! Forgot who the designer is, but pretty obvious what his theme was, isn't it?



And the result of our project
