I wanna apologise to Chii Terng and Amanda for taking the assignment into my own hands and shaping it into a failure.

I guess part of me really wanted Chii Terng to get his DesHnC done first because it can really be a bi***. And i didn't want to pressure Amanda either because she does her work well and it won't be fair to dump an extra load on her.

I took the proposal into my own hands and i regretted doing so. The moment i see the others' proposals boasting 20 pages or more, i knew we were in big big trouble.

The thing is, i borrowed a proposal writing guide from the library, and i followed pretty much blindly. So i missed out on the survey questions, detailed research and citations and also breaking down the events into further points like location and timeline.

I had this idea that we didn't need to present super-detailed research and analysis because i felt that the Council for Third Age should have found out about this stuff before they even set the council up. BUT i didn't take into account that this being a school exercise, we probably have to present to a client that has zero knowledge about the whole thing.

I don't think the pre-proposal had any effect either.

i only knew that what my group wanted to put forth is that we wanted the grandparents and grandchildren to be learning from each other about each other and about their culture and origins.

EPIC F**L


I talked to Chii Terng about doing a revised proposal for the exercise. Hopefully it'll save our butts from the half past six bs we presented on Wednesday.

We went to the LT for our revised design brief handouts. I didn't read Haowei's post about the previous brief but knowing him, he must have had stirred some problems to even initited this revision in the first place.

I understand the the final FORMAT of our project is a VIDEO. So an animatic is still a video if you arranged it to be moving. I think my group will be doing a mix of animation and video. But 1 months and a week is a little rushed in my opinion. Hope we get started soon.

I still haven't done my ideas. i have some in my brain. I'll pluck em' out soon.
