1. After considering alternative options, I've decided to rescind my 'Designology' and 'ID Photography' pages on Facebook, as I felt that it would be more effective for me to consolidate all of the posts onto my personal/professional wall space. I hope that this would also allow me to focus on curating more relevant content for both my personal, and professional growth. For my friends who have 'Liked' the page/s above, my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this.
2. I finally am able to publish my 2015's iBook, and the latest one for 2017 (picture below). More details are in the 'Teacher|Leader' tab
3. I've managed to devote some time to finally have my hands on LittleBits. I've created 2 Apple Clips to help me consolidate some of the things that I did. You can view them in the 'Media|Apps' tab
4. In order to consolidate my students' key learning from their Architecture Design module, I have invited 3 teams to share with me about their experiences. 2 videos of their experiences have been produced for posterity, and could be viewed in the 'Teacher|Leader' tab. I have also managed to capture some snapshots of their experiences working on the project. You can view some of them in action, as well as their final models in the 'Celebrations' tab
5. I was invited by our partner ArKidecture' to give a short talk about 'Underage Designers' recently. You can view my slides in the 'Networking' tab

1) Earlier last week I felt privileged to be selected as a participant from Singapore for the Teacher Training Conference organised by Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) to be held in Switzerland. I hope to be able to network with fellow educators and related professionals from all over the world.

Here's wishing me all the best!

2) I managed to host some visitors from Fuhua Primary School on Friday, 11 August 2017. I did a sharing session with them, primarily focused on the development of SST's Maker Programme, and what's in store for the future. I gave out some tips and advice on how they can get the ball rolling, so to speak. My hope is that the sharing has been fruitful and I wish them the very best in their endeavours.

Some feedback from the visitors are reflected below.

3) So on 15 Aug 2017, it will be the last day that the Paper App team would be having their Public Stream for their app users. For me it has been a great journey so far, especially for someone who can't really sketch well, but who has nevertheless been blessed with a good stream of ideas to work and sketch on.

Over the years I never knew that I can amass over 8k followers. But it is definitely not about these numbers, but rather about gaining the confidence to share what I have. And indeed the Paper app did feature a couple of my sketches too, and for that I feel truly blessed and thankful.

All in all, it was great while it lasted, and I do wish to be continuously inspired to sketch out even more ideas, even without the publicity of the Public Stream. Here's to wishing more sketches and ideas.

4) On 22 August, the ADMT department and ArKidecture conducted a session to nurture students' interest in architecture. 4 architects from SAA Architects spent some time with about 2 dozen Secondary 2 SST students, to introduce to them career opportunities in the field of architecture, as well as to help facilitate their current architecture design projects. More information and photos about the session are on the 'Teacher/Leader' tab.

With a little bit more down time this one week. I've managed to update some parts of my site. I've updated some screenshots and comments about the use of the Travefy.com and Canva.com sites in both my personal and professional capacities respectively. They can be found in the media | apps tab above.

I would also like to showcase some of the short films done by my students as part of their Videography module during the first half of the year. Some of them can be viewed HERE. One of those that I would like to feature can be viewed below.

1) The beginning of the year has been great so far, with preparations for the 2 key events that I'm handling taking shape, slowly but surely. The 2 events are the:

• SunburST InnoFest for the Sec 2 SST students, and the
• SunburST Make-A-Thon 2017, for the upper primary school students, nationwide

More information are available from the teacher | leader tab above

3) I've made some updates to the Architecture Design blog showcase. Link to the showcase is: http://2016architecturedesign.blogspot.sg/ . Additionally I am also glad to inform that the Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA), in collaboration with the National Library Board (NLB) has also invited SST students, and specifically the ADMT department, to showcase the students' works from their World Expo 2016 project, from 4 April 2017 to 17 April 2017. Some pictures from the displays can be viewed in the 'Celebrations' tab.

4) The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has also invited SST to showcase their students' architectural models as part of their Urban Planning Festival. The models will be up for display at the URA City Gallery from 8 March 2017 till 28 April 2017. Some pictures from the festival can be viewed in the 'Celebrations' tab too.

1. I'm finally done with version 1 of my 2016's edition of my reflections iBook. Click the teacher | leader page to download it.
2. From a humble 1k followers in late 2015, the number of follows that I have for my Paper (by FiftyThree) app feeds have increased to over 6 400 as of late November. You can view my public feeds HERE. For more details about what I usually sketch, you can go to the media | apps page for more.
3. The end of the year has always provided me with that unique opportunity to not only reflect on my professional practices and journey over the course of the year, but also gave me the breathing space to experiment with ideas, gadgets and apps. Here are SOME that I'm currently playing around with (both apps and physical gadgets), and an unofficial review or 2, about them.

1. Firstly, the first official programme for the SunburST Makers' InnoFest (June 2016) conducted at the Maker Lab has just concluded, with a sizeable number of students participating. Media collaterals that captures the entire experience can be viewed at the teacher|leader page.
