Snapshots taken during the Principle of Design class last Tuesday 17 Feb 2009.

From the faces of the students, I saw them worn out - of having to color & draw almost everyday. So, I decided to do something different. We might not have fanciful facilities at our campus but we do facilitate fancy ideas. Ms Jean & myself, got the AD0901A Class to use scrap paper from magazines to build the highest tower. I got the class to seat in a haphazard formation - juxtaposing perhaps an awkward mix of talents.





On one table there were Wu Heng, Kharwan, Jianwu, Cherrie, Ydee (Juwaidi) and Azryna. Ydee definitely felt out of place but after a while got used to the air of Chinese accent in his group. Wu Heng & Jianwu were rather funny - when it comes to working on paper projects. Their tower later on became the overall champion for the competition.




The second table sat Efy (Nurul Afiqah), Eqa (Syafeeqa), Al-Shafiq, Max Loo and Zhong Lin. Eqa was inexpressible at first but found her voice to lead the team to create the Hancock signature tower which looked like a crossbreed between a hen and a... well, a cock. (no pun intended) Max and Efy were picked to present the tower. Max was able to comprehend himself and articulate well by now despite his tendency of speaking fast. Efy, on the other hand, was rather quiet but it was probably due to the fact that she was sick the day before, after eating guava. Her charm was still felt nonetheless.




Sora's table comprised of Sufiandi (the dancer, penari), AZ and Siva. The team would have been the champion (from my personal gut feeling) if not for what happened in the midst of production - another student from another table, Sufiyan decided to play a prank on Sora's group by 'demolishing' their construction work.

Apparently, Sora's group and Sufiyan's group were building their towers super fast and super high. Envy got better of their hearts (or perhaps the sheer spirit of youth energy) - the two groups started to 'destroy' each other towers!





A funny commotion took place, a paper fight, exchanges of punches to each other's towers ~ and I saw Sufiandi for the first time - looking rather furious & serious in getting even with Sufiyan's group which comprised of Shazlyn, Samantha, Wenya and Nurul Ain. In just a few seconds, the two towers that the two groups built side by side crumbled to the floor.




The re-construction for the two towers took place almost immediately ~ both teams were still keen in winning. Shazlyn, cleverly used a scotch tape to tape her team's tower to the light panel on the ceiling above to make their tower 'stand up'. Sora's team also built theirs back fast but sadly afterwards Sufiyan pushed the envelope even further when he hit Sora's tower again with a foam ball.




While this was happening, the other table, with Asrul, Yuan, Siti Zaiton, Shariffa, Sidah and Suhana quietly worked on their tower. Yuan was the only non-Malay in this table and shared the same sentiment as Ydee in the previous team. Despite being different, he was able to interact well with his counterparts. They ended up building a tower that slants at the top!




The last table - in my opinion - conjured something heart-warming. Fee (Rafidah), Masturah, Wendy, Yu Hui, Shamini and Hon Yuen at first started off clueless with their tower. When I popped by to watch them, the tower did not seem to be going up much! They were not going for the height - rather more of the essence of the tower.




It was until the last minutes when the competition was about to end that their tower started to make sense - it was supposed to resemble me! Aww.. how sweet.





The above experience has proven to show how exciting things can be when you start doing something that you do everyday, differently ~

Hey, still panicking- here's Sora!!!







Hey guys, our dance is finally bucking up!!! Effah even took a vid of us, I heard.



But I think my krumping part is the most messed up... eh...hehheh..



BUT! Look forward to it!!! But, no sarcasm aight.



Um... I have a request: Can someone bring a Camcorder on the preformance?



I wanna post the vid up on youtube and this blog.



Well, our crew name and logo is finally confirmed!







Who: G30



What: Ground 30



Why: No matter how the situation is, our balls hang low, so we don't blow our tops.



Lots of crews have Ground Zero, Unlimited Ground ect as their names. So our's is unique. A special space for us, called "Ground 30". Got thrown out? "Ground 30". Ran away from home? "Ground 30".







Kay, this concludes my explaination of the crew.
See ya!
Still panicking,


EDIT!!!

This is our rehearsal vid... I know... there's ALOT of cockups!
