IT'S TERM 2!

Goodbye Term 1, Hello Term 2!

Now for term 2, we have some major objectives for IPW lessons of term 2:

- Complete the brochure for the semester's presentation.
- Complete Day 1 and Day 2's itinerary with details on each event.
- Complete the meal plans and plans how the events should be carried out.
- Prepare the itinerary and decide, analyse it, and make any minor and major last corrections before the presentation.

For semester 2 mostly would be EDITING and some is doing the rest of the whole tour. That's all for term 2, if i miss out any, please tell me (especially team mates).

Week 10 Reflection - Jovi

Since we've done our 1/4 of the whole itinerary. I've asked Zachariah about the brochure and he said he's designing it. But however, we need to speed up our process. In which, we need to look more at those websites, those webs with good details and ideas for our project. Anyway, for Yong Yi's case, I need to get some events to let him manage. But currently he's doing the amazing race planning and we've planned for the amazing race to be on the second day.

For you hao's case, he didn't know much and I think it would be better now if he got his macbook (he has it now though). With the macbook, we can do research together and need not worry about his case. :) That's a relieve! :D

Week 8 Reflection - You Hao

I think we can have some of the food like the chinese food, for example: Chinese Porridge, Chinese You Tiao, chicken rice hainanese version. We can also have some western food that i know, Nachos (the mexican side loves it i think), Spaghetti (most people should love it), Hot dogs (popular food among the world!!!).

For desert, we can have some pie, cherry pie or APPLE PIE (they should love it), we can also have some chinese-asian hot desert like Black Sesame Paste, Almond paste, or whatever paste... But most important is we shouldn't make the lunch too much dishes, until their stomach burst..

Week 8 Reflection-Yong Yi

Day 1
We can bring them to the Marina Square, since Jovi suggested about shopping. But the shopping will be at night, like what Mr.Wong commented.
After that we can also bring them around the Shenton Way to show them around as
Day 2 is the Amazing race, they can get to know the area and be prepared for the race.
For lunch, we can let them get to know the type of food we eat and bring them to the Old market.

Worksheet Image - Worksheet 8

Last week we've done our survey and we've gotten the results. Here's the results after the survey have been conducted last week, Here's the details:

1. Most of the sportsmen is usually around the teen age to the young adult age. (14 to 21 years old approximately) Hence, our itinerary should have more events that we teenagers like - we should know ourselves though in our whole planning.

2. Most of the sportsmen love to relax and chill-out, and exercise (of course). So we can roughly have some physical events and some relaxing events in our itinerary.

3. The sportsmen do not mind eating asian food, but they prefer western food. However, the asian can accept both of the types of food. Thus, we can go to a special restaurant and perhaps request them to have a western-asian type of dish, like combining curry and some nachos in a dish for appetiser, FOR EXAMPLE.

4. We should go shopping at night as most prefer to go shopping at night rather than shopping in the afternoon or in the morning. So we should put the shopping time after dinner, maybe the first and last day of the tour.

Okay thats all we got from the survey. I think we'd a rough idea what should we plan in the itinerary. :P
