School starts at 8am. As usual, it was a little bit hard to get out of bed. I think it is due to lack of sleep. Anyways, we had our 1st materials and processes class. The lecture was about dimension drawings. In the end, we did Rhino. It felt like Visualisation and Communication class, as we need to do modeling. The class was in that way to show how dimensioning is important when it comes to your design. Then, we got back our results for three of our assignments. All I got B+. It did out a smile to my face. I really pity for the rest who got Fs. They really need help, and I would want to help them. But, it is difficult if they themselves do not want to be helped.
Anyways, the next class is Interaction Design Technology(IDT). Though some still call that module "flash"(last year's IDT's topic, and it was very difficult), but I think we should not call it that. As this time, it is much more fun and easy(so far). It really feels like you are playing with LEGO sets.

Just take a look at the box. It is for ages 8+ and up. If children can learn and play with it, it could be a peach for us.


All the components in the box. It is really LEGO blocks. This is way fun. Can you tell me, which course teaches you to play with LEGO blocks? None right..?

Whats today's lesson was about was whats in the white box.

It contains lots of inputs. From light sensor to touch sensors.

One of the sensors was a sound sensor. I really like the design of the sound sensor. It really looks like those retro microphones, but this time in LEGO form.

Me singing away in class.

After which, I packed up my bag to go back to our studio. Since we are having our break, most of us went to have lunch. I usually pack my bag at a slow pace, so the rest of them just left without me. Got to the studio, sat down, and after some thought, I went to KFC and brought back to the studio to eat. Next was History and Theory of Design(HTD) class. The lecturer gave us our grades back. Well, I guess a lot of us got an A, easy.

For this module, we were given the assignment brief. The assignment was a group project, it always was. Soon, it was time for us to group up. In the end, we consist of Rui Hon, Ivan and myself. So, expect a very high quality work from us..haha! Next was to choose the number sequence for presentation and submission of the assignment. We had to draw lots, so luck will determine the number sequence. The rest of the class was rushing to get it, but Rui Hon and Ivan somehow let the class take their number first. I was waiting for them, after a while and only a few left, I just took one. Guess what number did I get? Yup number one. Nice! Just nice! Hehe..sorry guys. So, we have to get our research done soon.

Right after the class ended, I messaged my gal to get ready and meet me at Dover. She had been wanting to buy a backpack for quite sometime, and planned to go today, provided that my last class ends early(which it did). So, I was waiting for her message(as she would need some time to get ready), so that I could make my way towards Dover to meet her. Then suddenly, I heard that one of our lecturer wants a group of us to stay back for a meeting; it included me. At anytime now, my gal could message me to meet her, but the lecturer was still having class. Then, my gal messaged me. I took my bag and left. I bumped into my lecturer on the way out, so I told him that I had to go. This was the second time that I did this. Sorry you guys. I won't do it again.
So, I did met my gal at Dover and made our way to Far East. Got there, got to the shop, tried the bag for a while, and then bought it. One for her and one for me. For a Fred Perry bag,ehem2.. it was worth it.


Oh ya, on the way there and on the way home, we walked past this slick car that caught my gal's attention. To me, though it was a Ferrari, it is not that appealing.

So, we got home with a new bag and smiles on our faces. Reach home at around 7pm. I have been wanting to try the new PSP game that Syafiq gave me. It is Star Wars;the force unleashed. I am always hyped about Star Wars games. Play for a while, as I know soon, I will have hardly any time for anything else except for work.
