Stacking my whole weight on an unconventional spot. I tried to explore which side of my body is the least I would stack my weight to, and I have chosen the top of my feet. As my feet arches is inflexible, I could not point my feet as fully, thus making this harder for me to achieve. However, the resistance of my feet presses me upwards more, allowing me to find my centre of gravity easier in this position.

I like how my shelves are nicely stacked up on each other and just enough space to cover up the power socket behind the shelves making it look more pleasing in the front. I like how the design chooses to stack it with the different sizes of the shelves on top of each other like for example the rectangular shelve is stacked on top of the squarish shelve. This shelves are actually stacked right on top of my table so yes there’s a lot of stacking going on here. It’s nicely stacked on top of my table and since it’s very visible I made some of the shelves look like a display box to put my figurines and items

Noticing and observing interesting elements within the interior of your home:

Which is out of place? The power socket or the cabinet? Often times, I tend to forget that the power socket is there. The distance between the power socket and cabinet door is so close that I couldn’t even open the door fully without breaking the door.

Noticing and observing interesting elements within the interior of your home:

There is huge “hole” right behind the television set which I hoped the “hole” will be slightly wider or the console table to be slightly smaller so that both of them will fit right together. However, I also thought to myself that maybe the gap is good so the wires can be hidden.

Stacking my upper leg on the top of my knee. This is a side plank tree position which is set up in a forearm side plank with your elbow (plumbline) under your shoulders and legs out straight and stacked. I flexed my feet to create tension all the way down my leg. It was hard to maintain and balance after a while because it places the weight onto my forearm and my oblique. I always struggle to balance myself because of my centre of gravity. At the end, I found out that I had to strengthen my arm, core and back strength in order to balance easier.

Last but not least, the funniest and most ridiculous element that I observed was this specific window that has a handprint on it. I remembered the first time that I found out was very scary and made me question who and how in the world it got there. There are so many things that I want to say about these windows. First of all, the windows are too high for any proper air flow. Secondly, it is weirdly shaped. The lines are slanted each side like a pyramid which makes the house have an old school vibe. Lastly, the size of the window compared to the rest of the space is way too small HAHAH… I wish it was bigger so that I can see more of the beautiful sky outside.

The second interesting element that I discovered was how deep the staircase was in the hallway. It made it seem as if it were hidden from certain angles. For example, when visitors enters through the main door, they aren’t able to see the staircase because of the angle of their view. They are often surprised to discover that there is a second floor which is an entertainment room. From my point of view, I do not like how they designed the units in this condo because it is old.

After living in this condo for four and a half months, I found out some interesting hidden elements inside my house. The first one is how the ceiling at this part of the house is lower than the rest. To me it looks strange and unequal out of place because it stands out from the appearance of the rest of the house. Also, the living room seems unbalanced and it is hot to stand there because there is no fan or air conditioned on that side.

Stacking upper arm on the top of my knee. This is a B-boy position which can be considered as introductory power moves (stunt) for beginners who wish to proceed to harder moves. Stacking the right humerus bone on top of the distal femur is easy, but whats hard is to balance on it. I always struggle to align myself to the centre of gravity, which seems to shift all the way to my center chest. It was even harder to maintain the posture. I found out that contracting my core and shifting more weight towards my head direction makes it easier to balance.

Discovering ways to stack the body: Plumbline and balance points

While I was practicing my balancing, I decided to craft out an image of the plumbline and balance points when we are balancing; on flat foot or on relevé. I used to have the habit of putting my weight on the last few toes when on relevé. By crafting out the image, it made it clear to me that I should have my weight on the big toe, and ball of the heel.

Found this quite fun to watch so I decided to take a video. Two tiny ants fighting over a piece of wood. I found it funny and weird because the ants probably thinks that the wood is a type of food and is trying to bring back to their “family” I was also surprised at the fact how an ant is able to carry that piece of wood so smoothly and fast. I’ve always thought of ants as weak little insects that are not strong and has to work in groups to finish their “tasks” (like finding food, etc) as I’m not a big fan of insects 🐜 sadly after I took this video I killed both ants and started to clean up the area

Cracks on the rubber end of a suction cup. A few days before, a hanging bar that I use to hang my towel in the toilet suddenly as the suction cup loses grip. The bar was identical as the one in the picture. However, the bar in the picture hasn't fallen since the first time we stuck it to the wall and its grip has been as strong as before. This was because the vacuum in the grip is still preserved, no outside air could slip in, hence the atmospheric pressure from the earth naturally holds the suction cup in place. The evidence of the idea of 'strength preserved through time' is greatly seen inhow the outer side of the suction cup rubber has started to break outwards due to the constant compression by the atmospheric pressure over the years.

Whats in the picture is what I deemee as perfectly placed items. The 4 white boxes below seemingly just fit the spaces perfectly. The television seems to be just at the middle axis of the structure. What is more intriguing is whats adjacent to the television. I noticed that on the left side of the TV is everything related to light, such as lamp, aroma candle and my gaming device. On the right side is everything related to technology that helps to manage the house, such as Wifi router, remote controls, clock and TV box.

Today I observed a very cute big tree that looked like a cottencandy in the middle of a park near my house. I felt very peaceful  at that moment. Nobody was around me. Just me and the tree. Meeting point of man and nature. It was around the perfect sunset timing at 6:40ish. The sunset was incredibly beautiful and warm.

The cottencandy tree caught me an eye to just stand there for a while and to observe it quietly. It reminded me of a bible verse in John 15. Every branch was fulfilled with greenish leaves and it looked very fruitful to me. Also, thinking about how it grow so healthy and big. It reflected me that I still have a long way to reach my goal which is to become an inspired dancer.

Finally I noticed some insects 🐜 when I’m having a walk outside. This ant looks quite big 😧. I feel quite satisfying just by looking at the way it moves, been observing it’s six legs quite long before and after taking this video. But one thing that I keep wondering. Why is it alone and nit with its other friends? 🤔 Maybe it got lost? Maybe it just working hard looking for food?

Today I observed tiny little butterflies in this area near my house. They’re flying so fast that I’m not sure if my video is clear enough to capture them. It caught my attention because these are the things that I will not even care to have a look in daily life. Not only that but it’s quite interesting that they somehow disappear immediately even if I am focusing and staring at them. Did they camouflage with the grass 🤨 or  were they really just fast?

On the way home instead of walking straight down the road to the crossing I usually use, I decided to turn left and walk around the school next to the station. I ended up on a mission to find mimosas and I was looking on the small gardens we have planted around basically everywhere, and I saw plants that were growing outside the flower bed’s rubber enclosure. I spent about 10 to 15 minutes squatting and walking the side of the road looking for mimosas and I screamed when I actually found some. As I kept walking I realised that I actually had walked all the way to the marketplace, so I went further than what my perceived “destination” and had to make an even longer way home than anticipated.

I felt that our residential areas though they seem small, it is really easy to walk around in just 5 minutes and, I also noticed that different groups of buildings are painted in different palettes and styles and I’m curious to know what was the reason. I felt that as I walked alone as it was during the late afternoon early evening, the sun was setting and it felt really awkward to be alone, I don’t know why but I started talking/singing to myself as a sort of narration of what was going on. Perhaps it was because a red headed adult was crouching poking plants for quite some times. I felt that I had to be very clear on what my directions we’re because if i continued to walk straight on that left turn I would probably end up so far I’d have to take a bus home in the opposite direction. Without my usual route I was very conscious on where I walked or where Im turning towards and I tried to envision the space I was in, in reference to the space I always knew. Some what of a mind map of blurry ideas on where I thought things went, like a estate planning blueprint, but fuzzy and unclear.

I decided to walk to a mall that was somewhat near to where I lived. It was a 15 mins walk and even though it was a hot day I still enjoyed the walk as it has been a long time since I’ve taken this route.

Something interesting that I’ve found would be a mail pop up station underneath a void deck. It isn’t anything surprising but what interested me was that there was something “foreign” located in an area that I thought I was familiar with. I also saw how it functioned as while walking past the “mailman” sorting out all of the mail was trying his best packing it into all the different lockers and assigning codes to it so that the owners of the mail would be able to collect it later that day. (Didn’t manage to capture the picture of how the mail was being placed into the respective lockers)

Another pathway home/meeting point
The usual route that I will take to go home is usually by the bus. I decided to walk home instead as It would be a great light workout as I havent been moving much. Thus I recently had my 2nd dose of vaccination too. As I was passing by the train station towards the traffic light, I realised that there were many people outside the train station and it made me realised that it is a very common meeting point for people. Reason said is because there were people waiting for their grab drivers to arrive and many were were waiting for someone else. It also reminded me of how I actually made a purchase online afew years back and met with the seller outside the train station itself.

1A.Physically choose a different path away from my home.

Today, I chose to walk a long way around to my house instead of going straight up the hill. It was very very sunny and hot. I felt like I was sweaty like waterfall. The sky was blue and the clouds were fluffy as cottons. The trees were swaying in the wind. The path that I took was even more tiring because I was carrying a bunch of groceries with both of my hands.

While walking this path, I realized that the road was much wider than the side walk, which made it uncomfortable to walk on because there were tree branches that extended onto the pavement. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming as I walked. There were no cars passing by at that moment just me myself walking and walking. There were no other pedestrians.

Halfway up, I started to feel my calves and thighs were aching a bit because the incline was still pretty steep. My shoulder were also soar because of the groceries that I was carrying. To be honest, I really hated this feeling as I walked because of the weather and the sweat. Plus, it was too peaceful and lonely. Honestly, my body didn’t feel much different when I rely less on my sight.

I took a different route this time to the primary school, crossing 2 traffic lights and walking the whole circumference of it before heading home. I decided to shift my eye-line differently this time and started to look at the ground while I was on the way. I chanced upon something that is not out of the ordinary but it is something that not many people would notice or even cared about. I chanced upon a flower amidst a whole ground of leaves and to me, the flower stood out to me, which was why it caught my attention while I was looking on the ground. It stood out to me because the purple was bright amidst the brown and beige.

Animal: Bird

While I was taking the usual route home from my primary school, I came across a construction site nearby my house. I stayed for awhile and observed the workers and it can be a pretty interesting sight to see the things that they are doing with the cement, drills and hammer. Suddenly, there was a surprise visitor. A Javan Mynah; a common bird that we always see in Singapore, be it at a coffee shop, neighbourhood or even outside of the window. I stayed for a little longer and observed the mynah, and interpreting a scenario in my head as to what the mynah might be thinking about while seeing it hopping and running around the construction site. It occured to me that maybe the mynah was curious and the way it ran kind of made me laugh.

Meeting Point: Bus Stop

The route that I took was long but it eventually led me to my primary school. Coincidentally, the students were being dismissed from school and while walking past the bus stop near it, I came across an interaction between a mother and her child where I suppose the mother was awaiting for the school’s dismissal and was meeting for her child at the bus stop. Personally, I feel like a bus stop is a perfect spot to be a meeting point because it is distinctive, clear and easy to spot. It brought back special memories that I had with my classmates back then where we will always hang out at the bus stop after school.

If it were not because of this homework, I WOULD HAVE STEPPED ON A COLONY ＼(◎o◎)／. I was (luckily), able to notice the small white ants squirming on the ground and halted my journey to a pause for a minute. They were throusands of ants trying to evacuate, some carrying their eggs, as maybe a furnitre has just been moved away from that same spot few seconds ago. This was in front of a furniture shop. This silent shop suddenly became a meeting point for curious aunties and uncles to observe. As I distance myself away from the scene, the colony looks as if it faded away, too blur for humans to see from our height.

On this day, I chose to cross this road crossing as I was on my way home for more than one time. I was using my inline skate to commute home. It is interesting to note that when you have rubbery wheels as your contact point to the ground, sensing different textures of the ground become very noticeable. This is because slight change in ground texture may jeopardize my balance, as such I responded in taking a more bent knee stance to lower my centre of gravity. My attention is also more focused on my feet.

Compared to walking on feet, I was able to tell clearly the change in texture from smooth, rocky, to semi-rough as seen in the short clip. It is as if every grains and gravel are accountable under my rubbery wheels

10:30am : On my way back home from bus stop

Instead of looking front or up, I took my time to observe the floor and what’s on the ground on my way back home. I had a closer look on the pieces of rocks that formed the stairs and also on the bench aligned randomly and the different colours of tiny rocks placed together make it interesting. It looks beautiful in some way.
The photo below is the bench nearby the bus stop.

Today, I decided to walk home from the bus stop through a bigger loop. It seems as if nothing is out of the ordinary until I downsized by scope of view, zooming into everything around me. Taking one step at a time, I started to notice the usually neglected cracks on the pillars that apparently appears in most of the old pillars. Each crack seems to have its own stories, such as this one with a sheet of 'thing' inside which I dont dare to pull out. Some even has ants crawling around it.

day 1
I went to a playgroud i frequented as a child and i think its intere how back then i would just assume that my friends would be there or show up eventually to play and we’d have wild adventures around the block, and as we grow our circle gets bigger and further away from just a few residential blocks and further from each other. I realised that the playground had been renovated since my visits years ago and all the equipment was different, and any trafe of me and my friends have been wiped and new memories lay in place there.

I stood on the creaky top of the slide that the renovations weren’t new it had been quite a sum of years for the platform to creak and show cracks

I also saw that the playground i used to not see the top of, could be seen to me now as I have grown older and bigger

I found myself conscious of the people around me it was pretty empty which made me sort of eyecatcher, a blonde haired adult playing on swings at 120pm, which furthered the notion that I was in a place not made for me, and that sometimes you outgrow these meeting spaces

Silent walk

Went around the neighborhood “exploring” and finding places that were like some sort of a hidden gem which I didn’t really noticed before. Among all of the places that I went to I found this swing spot really interesting. There was a cat lying next to the swing. Looking at this swing and this cat lying next to it gave me an image of sitting alone in a grass field reading a book because that’s how quiet and peaceful this spot was. Since there wasn’t a lot of people nearby it felt even more relaxing

Things I hear: birds chirping, some traffic noise, the cat meowing, leaves rustling

Silent Walk
21 July 2021

As I walk through the street from Cross Street Exchange to Duxton Hill, I observed and explored many things such as things in nature and man-made structures around these areas. There were many beautiful, colorful, interesting buildings as I walked through. I took a photo of a few of these buildings shown below. They were each accented and shaped differently near the roof. The windows were attractive in the way that they were designed and sized.

As I walked further down the street, I saw a tree between a temple and a building. It showed me how nature can function as a divider where people can move between the nature and man-made building. It was very unique, eye-catching and simple but ugly haha…

I was hungry in the middle of the walk, so I went to this Mexican restaurant that was covered with plants. It looked very vintage. I took a photo of the bar opposite my table. It caught my eye because the shelf was designed asymmetrically. It also shows the glass bottles were sharing each others weight.

After doing this task, I realized many people do not notice and overlook various designs meant to connect man and nature. Most people might notice the differences in ambience but not the things that create them.

1:20pm : Silent walk to coffeeshop and back home

I choose a different route to coffeeshop and come back with the same route I usually take.
Normally I’ll go to coffeeshop during night time. Today is the first time I walk this pathway during daytime and everything looks different (similar place different view).

1A. Physically choosing a different path

I chose to walk towards the mrt today instead of taking the bus and since it was early in the morning the air was actually quite cooling and refreshing. The path that I took was an upslope towards the mrt so that was a little tiring to walk. After a few mins of walking my legs started aching a little because it was a constant upslope. Since this wasn’t the route that I usually take I was a little afraid of getting lost so I wasn’t on my phone as much and was looking around more, I followed the traffic noises as the pathway I was walking has a small road next to it for cars and buses to pass through so I knew if I followed along the road I wouldn’t get lost. Even though there was a lot of cars and buses there wasn’t loud traffic noises instead I heard a lot of birds chirping and See a lot of people doing their morning jog.

I also realized a small shop located not too far away from the mrt station while I was walking. At first I had always thought of it as some sort of childcare centre because it was located in between hdb buildings but upon going closer to it. It was actually a little shop that sells things like groceries, candies, your daily needs and etc.

Silent walk

I went and walked to the nearby park and spend afew minutes there, the place that was leading to the park had a very windy pathway and I stopped halfway through the path that was leading to the park and took a sit and decided to observe the things that were around me. The colour that I felt when I was leaving my place was very blue and grey as it was windy and the clouds were passing by quickly. As I reached that place, I felt a change as the clouds were passing by fast and the sun showed up scorching hot! But I observed a bunch of primary school Jay walking from one point to another and it led me to a memory that I had when I was on primary school how I actually went back home !
