Updates on my projects for PP1!

Here is an update of what I have been doing, what I have done, what I have been trying to do and what I have not been able to do.

In the recent weeks, I have posted up many poems and pictures on Pool and gave the links to my friends to inspire them to contribute to Pool. Felt a sense of disappointment when none of them got back to me. So far, I have four pictures and two poems up on Pool. My profile name is Nivlac. I received some feedback and this really encouraged me to post more. Hopefully my friends will be inspired enough to post something...

I have contacted my friends who write poems and short stories in Singapore. I have also contacted my friends who do Cosplay in Singapore. I asked them to post up some material that they have up on Pool and to try and get others to post as well. Unfortunately, none of them have responded and when i check back with them, I do not even get a response... Feeling quite dejected because of this, but I can take rejection(job hazard. :P). Hence my actions of posting up pictures and poems myself to try and get the community going.

The meetings with the other tute liaisons were fruitful because now we know what the other tutes are up to and we also have a rough idea of how it all comes together for the event, I recommend that we keep this system of having a tute liaison for the semesters to come. We keep minutes of our meetings for easy references for the facebook group as they change liaisons every week. I will recommend that in future, only one person is assigned as the liaison as it makes more sense to keep to a single person instead of having to pass on the information from one person to another every single week. It will minimize chances of miscommunication too.

There was once when Tasha asked for help for her interviews at Biba and I decided to help her do it as I am experienced with a camera and have worked in production houses back in Singapore. For my own group project, I have recorded down the sounds from church to use in our project. Hope the rest have got their own soundscapes as well. :)

Here are the links for my Pool posts.
