hello people.

when the teachers approach me, i was a little shock.

it was told that this groups of students were being chosen because we have the potential.

and the first thing which came into my mind was, "i have potential??"

however, i was very eager to try out new things, working with different people for one common target, which is to complete this project as fast as possible.

when workshops and meetings started, i was trying my best to keep up the work as well as my school work.

in the holidays, my group, zhongyi and shanhui, and i were out to do the project together, such as researching for information in the national library for hours, have interviews from different organisations, and walked around the whole toa paoyh to look for places that were once there and took pictures of them. the difficulties i had was unable to have a suitable timing that the group could sit down to do the project together. but we still manage to overcome it by doing it together once we were free. or we work individually, then we will compile our work together. each was given a job to do so no one was been left out.

there's a workshop during the last year holidays and it was about how to make websites and animation. it was kind of hard and it needs alot of patience to do that. i learnt how to use the photoshop to take parts of the picture that we wanted.

i have done quite a number of research regarding the history of ToaPayoh, however, some was not been used as part of the project as there were changes. i did a research on the ToaPayoh Garden. it was a very pleasant place for couples in the past. now it is still a pleasant place with a better environment suitable for all kinds of occasions. there's a restaurant in the ToaPaoyh garden ever since 198os.

this is a picture of the toapayoh garden restaurant in the 1980s.

but for now, it is more beautiful and the garden is a peaceful place.
