Dear Batch 55,

You'll be hearing news from your friends soon, if you haven't heard.
(Or perhaps you've already know.)

Here's what happened:

We had an urgent batch meeting today at 1.30 pm, Class I2.
For those who came, thank you for coming.
Those who didn't, you're not in any loss.
"Oh, I only know NOW that I've read this post."
Please understand that it was decided on a short notice and passed through word-of-mouth.

We've heard what was said in that room.
Each major has their final projects to stick to. (Your box is also a final project for GC, please remember.)
We've come to an understanding that more time is needed to produce quality work, based on the batch's progress of the boxes.
So now, you can carry on with your box execution until the last week before 5th of May (exhibition launch). But you must know that the extended dateline is to ensure that all students can get their work executed well enough for the exhibition.

The actual submission date has not been decided, but roughly 28th / 29th / 30th (April) or 1st May. Committee will have a discussion on that soon.

The box is still the corrugated box that you are using. Please take care of your 'babies' well.

We are going to add ways to make the box stronger. The idea suggested out in today's meeting is to get mount steel to fit into your box frame. But don't worry about this first. Again, committee will look through every possible way which works best for our exhibition. And as I have said many many many times, comments and suggestions are welcomed. Just don't go around cursing the box lah, okay?

We are creative artists trained for the commercial field. Instead of finding problems with the problem, we must challenge ourselves to solve it. Let's help each other in the final process for the exhibition. Seek help and give your helping hand, if anyone has problem's with their boxes.

So, next two weeks are Workshop week. This blog will be one of the main sources for GC Updates. And also, check your emails daily for updates from your advisors as well.

Reminder:

9th April 2008

To committee,
Next meeting is on 8th April, 6.30 pm, D2.
Let's do our best for our GC team mates.
Always look for the silver lining k? Eheh.
On a more serious note, attendance compulsory.

That's all for the current updates.

Thank you, dear committees whom have put in all their effort in this campaign.
And thank you, dear batch members who have shown support all these while.

FOUR MORE WEEKS TO EXHIBITION BLAST-OFF!
