Hi Batch 55 (if you still read this blog),
A lot has been going on lately and most of us are busy with work already. This will be a short one, I promise.
Chatterbox is removed, as we no longer see its purpose now that our exhibition is over and done and there are rarely any updates. Some see it as a source of entertainment, some treat it as a vent-out/stress management site, while others just love to spam.
Moving on...
Yes, we ended exhibition a month ago, now what do we do with the leftover money (around 4k)?
Most of the committee members agreed that we donate the money to charity, especially the Sichuan / Myanmar donation fund. We'll put in the donation this coming week via TOA because they are having a charity drive as well.
Reasons to why donation is the best:
1. Charity causes.
2. If we organize a dinner/gathering, we will need a committee again. I doubt there are volunteers as a lot of us are already busy with work.
3. If we give back the money to everyone, will all of us have time to come back one-by-one for our share?
4. Besides, how much can be divided for 100 people with only 4k?
5. I can't think of a better way to handle the money, lest you can.
I know it's too late to wait for everyone's response, so decision was made just like that. If there's any disagreement/complaint about this method or why everyone was not informed earlier, blame it on me then.
So, that's the latest, and probably the last, update.
Thank you for being a part of Batch 55 and I really hope for the best for everyone. Good luck in your jobs and studies. Be proud of who you are and live life to the fullest!

THINGS IN A BOX
- ...Our exhibition started off with the theme of Senses, which we thought would be the best topic since all of us are designers to begin with. Senses, as we all know, affect our everyday life. For designers, we are more conscious in using senses to communicate and to inspire. Batch 55. 5ense5. Seems like a perfect marriage, isn't it?
- ...As all the members shared their brilliant ideas for a Senses exhibition, we realized there is so much to talk about senses and it has been hard to pinpoint what type of Senses exhibition that we should bring out for the audience.
- ...Nevertheless, most of us said similar things -- that our exhibition should be a showcase of our creative skills and also the experiences that we have gone through to make us the designers we are now.
- ...We learn and grow through experiences. Each of us has a story that is significant to us, whether it is the day we were born or the three years in TOA. The journey we have traveled so far determines who we are and what lies ahead. Many overlook the process of idea creation and judge a work by the final result.
- ...Therefore, using senses as an inspiration, we will each tell a story of our own in the limits of a box. The box represents the limitation that comes in the form of a project brief, society boundaries, work ethics, etc.
- ...We are always taught to ‘think out of the box’, but it is also a challenge to work within the frames of a box. Now is the time for us to showcase our versatility in thinking and creating, through more than 100 stories of ' A Journey'
