Creative Thinking Works

Walkway

Exhibits at NAFA

See

• Paintings
• Artworks

Think

• I think that it is a good idea to showcase the student's artworks in school
• I think that it is a good idea to showcase the artworks also because other students can gain inspiration from it

Wonder

• I wonder if they don't exhibit anything would it be as interesting?
• I wonder if they exhibited something else other than artworks, would students actually stop by and take a look at them and be as interested? 

Parks

A view of the Macritchie Reservoir

See

• Trees
• Forest
• Pond
• Rocks

Think

• I think that this a good place to have a jog, a run, exercise and hike
• I think that there is really a lot of greenery here

Wonder

• I wonder if there is no trees or pond here, would it be way different, the animals and the environment

Makisan

A sushi roll at Makisan, we can choose our own ingredients that we want to put in our sushi.

See

• Sushi
• Seaweed
• Chopsticks
• Veggies
• Salmon
• Prawn eggs
• Tuna

Think

• I think that this a good way of letting people choose what they want to eat and personalize their own food, making it more comfortable for the customer

Wonder

• I wonder what if they bring in ingredients that are not supposed to be on sushis, like for example potatoes, candy and other crazy ingredients etc.
• I wonder if everybody's tastebuds are the same

Mrt Door

This is a pic of a MRT door.

See

• MRT door
• Reflection

Think

• I think that the doors are better than no doors or barriers in the past, where people could just jump off to the tracks and kill themselves

Wonder

• I wonder if they hadn't built those doors, how many other accidents would have happened
• I wonder if they changed the material of the door into something like plastic or rubber, would it be better or would it be worse

The Dress at SAM

This illuminated big dress which was more than 2m tall was exhibited at the Singapore Art Museum. It had a scary vibe to it, including the background music which contributed to the eeriness.

See

• Dress
• Dark place
• Blue colours

Think

• I think that with just an ordinary dress, changing some factors of it (size of dress, lighting, background music) would change the atmosphere and mood of it 

Wonder

• I wonder if anyone else other than me was spooked by it
• I wonder would it still be scary if they changed the dress to something else, like for example a huge chair, a huge mirror etc.

Tree Top Walk

I went for a hike at Macritchie and went to the Tree Top Walk. I hiked for more than 10km but I think that it was worth it, considering that I was afraid of heights but I managed to overcome it.

See

• Trees
• Forest
• Railings
• A long bridge suspended in the air from one end to the other

Think

• I think that attractions like these makes people want to hike
• I think that the railings on the bridge looks like a snake

Wonder

• I wonder if bridge breaks midway, what would happen?
• I wonder if I was there alone, with no friends as a source of motivation, would I give up halfway?

Gardens By The Bay

At around 7-8pm there is a light show at Gardens By The Bay and I was there a few days back to witness it.


See

• Gardens By The Bay
• Lights
• Red and blue lights
• People walking and sitting around
• Marina Bay Sands in the background

Think

• I think that this a great way to attract more tourists and people to visit Gardens By The Bay
• I think that the location of this place is good as it is just opposite MBS, it would be easier to attract more tourists

Wonder

• I wonder if there were only lights and no music, (vice versa) would people still come to watch it?
• I wonder if people are really entertained by this
• I wonder if people would pay to watch this (for now it is free)
• I wonder if the structure of the pic above is different (for example maybe if it looked like a water bottle, a stick, a random shape), would it still look as nice?

Intersection

This is a road junction outside NAFA. 

See

• Buildings
• Vehicles
• Road
• Pedestrians
• Construction work

Think

• I think that this was taken at a high level

Wonder

• I wonder if all the construction works are done, including the one just beside NAFA, making way for the new MRT train, I wonder how it'll be/look like. 
• If NAFA was somewhere else, I wonder what scenery it would be

Water Droplets

I took a photo of water droplets on a table. It was for Drawing Fundamentals class where we had to draw shiny, reflective or metal surfaces.

See

• Water droplets
• Table
• Reflective
• Liquid

Think

• I think that if I were to draw these water droplets, it'll be hard because of the reflective surface

Wonder

• The water droplets look like transparent liquid glue hardened on the table

Sushi Express

Taken at Sushi Express, one of my favourites places to dine in.


See

• Sushi
• Soya Sauce
• Chopsticks
• Pink plates
• Green tea

Think

• I think that it's good that we can just pick what we like from the conveyor belt.
• I think that having to self service makes it more quicker and less time consuming

Wonder

• I wonder if they serve other food, for example, chicken chop, chicken wings etc. in this kind of concept, would it be successful? 
• I wonder if the idea above is being put into place, would people actually try it and willing to pay for such dining experience?

Casino

Outside of Marina Bay Sands casino.


See

• Car
• MBS Casino
• Building structure

Think

• I think that the idea of a casino is not that good for customers but it is a good idea for the people profiting from it because we would usually spend more than we earn more in there.

Wonder

• I wonder if any age is able to go in the casino, what would happen?

Singapore Night Festival

Singapore Night Festival

This image or GIF is taken at the Singapore Night Festival a few weeks back. It's a festival where it's taken place at night and there are a lot of lights projected onto buildings, food tents, photobooths, performances and a live band playing music.

See

• I see a lot of people, hundreds of them
• Fairy lights
• Tents
• Food tents
• Benches and Tables for people to sit down and eat

Think

• I think that because of the power of social media, this festival became known quickly nationwide and a lot of people attended this Night Festival
• I think that without the food, lesser people would come here, just my own opinion

Wonder

• I wonder if there was not much people, how would the outcome be like?

Berry Nice

This Berry Pancake was the nicest tasting pancake that I have ever had in a while.

See

• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Pancake
• Whipped Cream
• Acai seeds
• Plate
• Wooden Table

Think

• I think that this pancake was one of the best pancake I have ever tasted in my life
• I think that this should be everywhere at an affordable price (because this pancake was quite pricey)

Wonder

• They currently do not have other flavours, but if they do, I wonder if it is going to be as nice as this
• Since this is from a cafe that is not so well known, I wonder if it will be really popular if it is from a cafe that is very popular 

My Room

A picture of my room, where I sleep and spend most of my time at.


See

• Bed
• Pillows
• Table
• Lights
• Clock
• Curtains

Think

• I think that this quite a cozy environment for me to be in 
• I think that I could do a better job at making it cozy but I am satisfied with it already

Wonder

• I wonder if I painted my walls a different colour, would it change the atmosphere and would it still be comfortable for me?
• I wonder if the lights on my bed headboard wasn't there, would it still feel as nice?

Perspectives

Drawing Fundamentals class where we had to learn about 1 and 2 points perspectives.

See

• Students
• Teacher
• NAFA
• Exhibition

Think

• I think that it was a good idea to get out of the classroom and do something else outside of it so it would be more interesting

Wonder

• Since we had to do 1 and 2 point perspective drawings, if we did not go out of the classroom to find inspirations for our drawings, I wonder what other 1 and 2 point perspective drawings I would have drew.  

Icelab

A Korean Dessert (Bingsu) Cafe called Icelab located at Somerset. This used to be a huge craze in Singapore when it first came. 

See

• People
• Chairs
• Tables
• Korean Dessert (Bingsu)
• Strawberries
• Whipped cream
• Ice cream
• Condensed milk

Think

• I did not understand why so many people were so crazy over this but when I tried it, I understood why. It is somehow a way nicer version of the local Ice Kachang.
• I think that the people who sell this would earn a lot as it is pretty expensive just for one bowl, approximately $18 on average

Wonder

• I wonder do people still eat ice kachang, now that this has come to Singapore
• I wonder if the toppings on the Bingsu is different, would it still be as nice as the other flavours?
• I wonder if people really enjoy this or they are just buying it because they are following the bandwagon craze that has been going on about Bingsu

Chijmes

A picture of the beautiful building at Chijmes

See

• Chijmes building

Think

• I think that the Chijmes building somehow looks like a church
• I think that it looks really nice
• I think that it looks pretty at night because of all the lights

Wonder

• I have always wondered what do people do here at Chijmes

Afterwit

A mexican restaurant that I went to recently.


See

• Tacos
• Drinks
• Ice cream sandwich poster

Think

• I think that the food and atmosphere here is good

Wonder

• I wonder what it would be like if the atmosphere was different
• I wonder what it would be like if the food and the fillings were different

Pu3

This was what I had for a recent dinner. It was at a restaurant called Pu3 and they serve Nasi Ambeng which is one of my favourites. They include in traditional malay food in a huge plate and people in groups of 2-5 can eat it together.


See

• A huge plate
• Different kinds of dishes
• Rice

Think

• I think that this was a really big serving, comparing the size of the hand and the whole huge plate.

Wonder

• I wonder how much will they serve if it is meant just for one person, will they still serve a lot?
• I wonder if people who aren't used to the traditional Malay culture would find it weird

Capitol Theatre

This is nearby the City Hall/Raffles Place MRT and I took a picture of this because the design of the Capitol Theatre attracted me. It somehow seems like a building from the olden days.


See

• Capitol Theatre
• Gridded floor
• Buildings

Think

• I think that they wanted to design the exterior of the Capitol Theatre like an old theatre style building, like in the olden days or somewhere overseas

Wonder

• I wonder if people are as intrigued as me by this building
• I wonder if they had plans to shape this building as something else other than this olden day look

Singapore Food Festival

I went for the Singapore Food Festival and I got these two "paus". It was filled with chocolate inside. A lot of videos on the internet showed these paus.


See

• Two yellow paus
• Plate
• Water bottles
• Faces

Think

• I think that this is a great marketing technique - getting something as normal as a pau and making it unique inside and out.
• I think that these were somehow a bit overpriced at $3 each

Wonder

• I wonder if it had other fillings, not just the chocolate one, would it taste as good?
• I wonder if people would continuously buy them or just buy it as a one time thing just to try out

NAFA Glass

This is a glass at NAFA at level 2 the bridge connecting from Wing A to Wing B.

See

• Glass design
• The word NAFA but inverted
• Patterns

Think

• I think that this piece makes the bridge more interesting and less dull

Wonder

• I wonder if they had not put this, how the place would be like
• I wonder if they had put up something else, would it be as interesting as this design?

Toes in the sand

This GIF was taken at Sentosa.


See

• Sand
• Feet

Think

• I think that going to the beach to relieve stress is always a great idea

Wonder

• I wonder why do beach always have sand, why can't it be something else?
• I wonder if the sand is replaced by something else, for example seeds, grass, dirt, would people still like the beach?

Graduation

I went for my friend's graduation at ITE Central to support her and her hardwork that she has put in throughout her two years there.

See

• Plants
• Graduates
• Teacher

Think

• I think that all of them did a good job to be able to graduate

Wonder

• I wonder if my friend did not put in effort, would she still be able to graduate?

SAM

This is located outside SAM and nearby NAFA and I was sitting here having some alone time snacking on some food.


See

• Benches
• Trees
• SAM

Think

• If there were more shops there, I think the amount of people visiting SAM would be higher

Wonder

• I wonder if people enjoy sitting here as much as I do
• I wonder if the benches could be a different crazy design because even the design now is not something that we would usually see with normal benches

Clarke Quay

This was taken when I was sitting at the steps infront of the Singapore River at Clarke Quay.


See

• Boat
• Singapore River
• Water
• People
• Gmax (the ride behind the boat - with the metal poles)

Think

• I think that Clarke Quay is a very chilled place to hang out at

Wonder

• I wonder what has attracted many tourists to Clarke Quay, other than the bars and clubs around
• I wonder if the Gmax is not there, what else would be there? Because for me, it kind of feels out place having a thrilling ride just there beside the Singapore River

Orchard

This was taken when I was at an uphill road at Orchard with bars and pubs alongside it.

See

• Lights
• Orchard Gateway
• Plants
• Hill
• Buildings
• Bars

Think

• I think that even though it is a quiet road stretch, it still does not feel scary because of all the lights going on at the back
• I think that it is a good place to hang out here. Very chilled and calm atmosphere.

Wonder

• I wonder if this whole stretch of road, the bars replaced with famous shops such as Uniqlo, McDonalds etc, would it be filled with more people and would it be more chaotic?

IVA

This was when me and my group had to take videos for our Introduction to Visual Arts (IVA) module and we were at the Cavenagh Bridge.


See

• Bridges
• People
• My team
• Some buildings in the city

Think

• I think that it is a really nice bridge because it looks like something that it evident in the olden days

Wonder

• I wonder if people do think about the history about this bridge
• I wonder if this bridge wasn't here, would it be better or would it be worse?

Creative Thinking Class

Creative Thinking group work discussion


See

• Classmates
• Classroom
• Teacher
• Mahjong papers
• Groupworks

Think

• I think that everyone here was preparing for the discussion of groupworks, after putting our own comments on each other's groupwork
• I think that this is a good learning experience and makes us use more of the creative side of our brain

Wonder

• I wonder if I will ever remember this in the years to come
• I wonder if there wasn't the See-Think-Wonder concept, what other concepts would there be?

Lipstick

I recently bought these 2 liquid lipsticks.

See

• 2 liquid lipsticks
• A messy table at the background

Think

• I think that after finishing the lipsticks, the container can be used for something different
• I think that I can store something inside once it is finished

Wonder

• Just with the container, I wonder what else can I put in the container (if it is empty)
• I wonder what I can do with the container once I am done with the lipstick

Step By Step

A drawing book I found that shows us how to draw realistically step by step

See

• Book
• Step by step drawing
• Realistic drawing
• Head of a woman

Think

• I think that I can learn quite a lot from this book
• I think that I can learn fast because I am interested in learning how to draw realistically 

Wonder

• I wonder how long would I be able to master this
• I wonder if not just the head, what other body parts am I able to draw realistically and would I be able to do a good job at it equally as other drawings? 

Batam

A street shot that I took at Batam


See

• Cars
• Trees
• Short buildings

Think

• I think that by just one look and one glance at this photo, we could straight away tell that this photo was surely not taken in Singapore 
• I was not used to the atmosphere in Batam as the air felt and smelt different than in Singapore but I do like having to experience different things and experience what other people is experiencing 

Wonder

• I wonder if other people were to come to Singapore, would they like the atmosphere here?

Bev Cafe

A cafe that I went to at Johor.

See

• Water
• Food
• Milkshake
• Buildings

Think

• I think that the cafes in Johor are really aesthetically pleasing and they know how to present their food well
• I think that it was a good dining experiencing, even if it was just dessert

Wonder

• I wonder if these kind of cafes are in Singapore, would they be sellable?
• I wonder if this cafe were to sell other things, would they still be able to sell them? Like for example, clothes, instead of food.

Snack Shopping

I went snack shopping with my brother at the Value Dollar shop that sells everything at a very cheap price. Cheaper than sold anywhere else.


See

• Cup noodles
• Cookies
• Snacks
• Basket
• Junk food

Think

• I think that all of these snacks are unhealthy but it's good to have them once in a while
• I think that the Value Dollar shop has the lowest prices compared to everywhere else, they always have really good deals - also they put a "lowest prices, no need to compare" sign right under their price tags

Wonder

• I wonder if they had sold it a higher price, would they still have a lot of returning customers?
• I wonder if they sell other things, such as clothes, would they make it sellable? (I think yes because of their really low prices)

Night

A shot that I took because I liked how the interior of this place looked like.

See

• Restaurant
• Bars
• Escalator
• Trees
• Lights

Think

• I think that this is a really nice place to hang out and have dinner
• The atmosphere is really very chilling
• I think that fairy lights attached to trees always look nice

Wonder

• I wonder if people do come here because it does not seem that crowded
• I wonder if the shops do make a difference at bringing in a crowd
• I wonder if people do like this place as much as I do

Nugget

This cat is called Nugget and it isn't my cat. This cat always comes into my house and I believe that he comes here to look for food because me and my brother always feed it despite it being my neighbour's cat.


See

• Cat
• Door

Think

• I think that this cat likes me because he keeps visiting despite it being my neighbour's cat 

Wonder

• But sometimes I do wonder.. does this cat genuinely like me or it just likes me because I feed him sometimes and it water
• I wonder whether his real owners are taking a good care of him because he always runs back to me in the end

Orchard Gateway

Orchard Gateway decorations

See

• Decorations
• Outside Orchard Gateway
• People

Think

• I think that the decorations are attracting people to come over to the mall because infront of the decoration display, a lot of people were taking photos and videos 

Wonder

• I wonder if they put any kind of decoration, would people still take photos and be attracted to it? (Even if the decoration is ugly and doesn't look nice etc)

Flight

A picture that I took when I was in flight


See

• Plane Wing
• Sky
• Clouds
• Land
• Housing below

Think

• I think that this is a really nice view to see
• I think that these kind of photos look really calming 

Wonder

• I wonder is this what birds see all the time? 
• I wonder if we are able to fly, would we see this view?

The Pearl of the Indian Ocean

This was taken by me when I was at Sri Lanka. It is at the pearl of the Indian ocean.


See

• Water
• Ocean
• Buildings

Think

• I think that I am very lucky to be able to be there

Wonder

• I wonder what other shores of the ocean would look like, other than this one which is the shore of the Indian Ocean

Sigiriya Rock

I managed to climb to the top of that huge rock at the back. It was very tiring at it took me hours to get to the peak. However at the end, it was all worth the sweat and fear.


See

• Me
• My friends at the back
• Forest
• Trees
• Huge Rock

Think

• I think that I was brave to climb up the rock despite my fear of heights

Wonder

• I wonder what if it wasn't a rock and if it was a mountain instead, would the experience still be the same?
• I wonder if people have died while climbing up that rocks since it was very easy to fall off since they had no railings 

Sri Lankan Family

These Sri Lankan people were more than happy to pose for a photo for me!


See

• A Sri Lankan family
• Vehicles
• Shops behind

Think

• I think that they have not experienced many tourists maybe that was why they were so excited to see me
• I think that they don't usually get their photos taken that's why they were so happy to pose for a photo and they even called out more ppl after this for me to take a photo of them

Wonder

• I wonder if I made their day
• I wonder if it wasn't me, would they still react the same?
• I wonder if I wasn't a tourist and just a local, would they still react the same way as well?

Orphanage

When I was at Sri Lanka, I helped out at an orphanage.

See

• Children
• Adults
• Huts
• Flower pots 
• Potted plants

Think

• I think that they have a very minimal standard of living here
• I think that they were more than happy for us to help them out

Wonder

• I wonder how the orphans in this village would turn out to be, wonder how their future would be like
• I wonder what they are doing now
• I wonder if i didn't help out at this orphanage, how differently would things turn out to be?

Happy National Day

Happy National Day! I went to the new stadium to witness the fireworks for National Day and it was nice and there weren't too many people around so it was easy to walk around.


See

• Fireworks
• Sky
• A very faint skyline at the bottom

Think

• I think that the fireworks were very nice and it is rare, only happens a few times in a year so it a must to witness it!

Wonder

• I wonder if the people enjoyed the fireworks as much as I did
• I wonder how do people set up the fireworks
• I wonder how much it costs to do fireworks

PokemonGO

The release of PokemonGO was 2 days ago and apparently everyone is crazy about it and playing it everywhere.


See

• A box
• A cat
• Psyduck
• Pokeball
• PokemonGO user interface
• A screenshot 

Think

• I think that this game craze would only last for a few weeks or months and it will slowly die down

Wonder

• I wonder if this game can be played at home, would the number of people playing increase? (I say it's a yes)
• I wonder if other different games tried the same concept, would it be as successful as pokemongo? 
• I wonder if I had not played pokemongo during my childhood, would I still be into it now?

Beach

Sentosa when the sunset is nearing.

See

• Sand
• Sea
• Water
• Bridge
• Another island opposite the beach
• Sky
• Clouds

Think

• I think that being at the beach during a sunset is really nice and calming
