WEEK 1 ( 2 hours )
On week 1, we had our class in E5.05 and found out that our class is combined with Interior Architecture from all the other semesters. Our Tutor Ms Norji Nasir gave us an introduction to our module and briefed us for our project. She assigned Semester 6 students to be in group 1 which is in charge of finding sponsorship for this project as they have more experience in the working field and have more connections with people in the industry through their internship. The other 5 groups are free for the other semesters to choose, we are allowed to mix with the other students. The task assigned to each group are as follow :
1. Group 1 : Sponsorship team
2. Group 2 : Neighbourhood and surrounding, clean and paint the external area
3.Group 3 : Wall and Floor transformation, fix and improve broken door and window + mural design for internal wall
4. Group 4 : Shelves and Book arrangement, arrange books and label them according to their genre/category
5. Group 5 : Fun learning aids, create fun games and activity that teaches the kids

PROJECT
For this project, we were required to split ourselves into 6 groups and i am in group 3 which is in charged of wall and floor transformation of the interior of reading space at Ulu Melaka Orang Asli Village in Serendah, Selangor. Our group consists of 30 people lead by Royce Kota. The task that our group is in charge of includes wall painting with a mural design, fixing the window and door as well as restore the flooring of the mini library.
|
DESIGN 2For the second design proposal, the theme is ocean / udnerwater and the colour scheme is mainly different shades of blue and the sea creatures will be painted a vibrant and bright colour to attract the children's attention. Different types of sea creatures will be painted on the window panel above the wall just like the first design proposal.
|
DESIGN 3For the third design proposal, the theme is solar system / galaxy. The main colour scheme revolves around the colour of the galaxy like midnight blue, purple, white and black. Compared to the previous two design, this design is much more eye catching and attractive as the whole room will appear much more interesting which will then encourage the children to spend more time in the mini library.

Week 6 ( 2 hours )
We had a meeting with our tutor as well as the students from group 2 as both of our group has to choose colour that matches each other hence some changes were made to our design and colour choice, it was also said that our group's budget has exceeded the amount of money that are being sponsored to us so we had to change the amount and some of the materials we chose to a cheaper one.
Week 9 ( 2 hours )
We had been informed that everyone need to donate at least 2 books to the mini library, preferably UPSR reference books but since our group consists of 30 members, Ms Norji told us to split ourselves into 4 different groups that will donate books in different genre so that the overall number of books for each genre will be more balanced, we have discussed the type of books requested by my senior - Zee Leng. As a person that enjoys reading and hope to provide books for people that need it, unfortunately since my hometown is all the way back in Melaka it is not convenient for me to donate my old storybooks. Therefore, I went to the bookstore to search for books with not only interesting stories but with eye catching and interesting illustrations in hopes that it will make the children fall in love with reading. The books that i ended up choosing are The Little Prince (a real classic!) and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid because who doesn't like reading that series back in primary school!
Week 10 ( 2 hours )
This is the week where the first group has to go to the site for preparation like cleaning, dusting and repairing some of the fixtures. Therefore, we had a discussion to plan out the task that we are going to be doing there and delegated the task accordingly so that everyone has something to do and we can finish up our work efficiently, we also made a check list to ensure we have everything that we need so that there will be no delays during the first execution itself.
Week 11 ( 2.5 hours )
Due to some unfortunate mistakes the first group made during their execution, we had to have another meeting with Ms Norji to ensure that the rest of us that are going during the second round do not repeat the same mistakes. Apparently, some of them did not take into account of the proper number of paint brushes, brooms and washing agent etc so they had to borrow from group 2 which was not very convenient.
The second purpose of this meeting is also to know the number of people that are driving there and the passengers that are following. I followed my friend - Jing Nee together with Celeste, Alice, Shulla and Joycelyn.

Before the second group goes to the site again, which includes me, our group leader for Window and Door told us to get nails and buy 5 more sliding locks as there wasn't enough and the store that they went to are sold out of it.
