This is actually just some random comments on random things that I don't particularly take notice of but right now I am bored and am just waiting for something to happen but I guess I would have to settle with something that I got at this moment... my blog...

Alright... for no apparent reason I just thought it was quite funny that the blog about the toilet actually attracts a LOT of comments from various companies hehe funny... 6 COMMENTS!! (if you haven't take a look at it go ahead... all of 'em are actually advertisings...) that is actually the most number of comments I have ever received for one particular blog so that was funny...

Moving on... I just can't keep thinking that the weeks have been passing away so fast! We're up to our 11th week now and assignments and projects are due in another 2 weeks and am officially screwed...

Another thought... you know those enviro bags that you can buy from Woolies? Well I was thinking of new ways to design them coz I figured all enviro bags are different from each other... for example if you get it from Kinokuniya you would get this potrait format about A3 size of enviro bags but when you get to Woolies you get those big bottom ones that are not that high but they fit perfectly for groceries then there's the Myer one... hmm... Myer's one actually don't have real significance they're just there and the oh-so-popular Cotton On one or the Supre one... to me that just signifies that you go a lot to that store or that you are a shop-a-holic but maybe that's just my interpretation of those bags... but honestly I was on my way home and can't stop thinking of what other 'design' should the enviro bags have... they could be a shoulder bag which makes things easier to carry... they could be 'designer' style bags with images on them... they could be those verstile backpack but that just won't do coz the people probably wouldn't wear them then there is another suggestion that maybe those bags could be made pocket size or those ones that you can fold but I think I saw that at Co-op... so the ideas are a bit limited but that was just during my last 10 minutes before arriving home...

Continuing with the design theme in my Monday class we were assign a Grumpy Design assignment where we identify a need for public transport commuters and in the end design what they need but in the end it actually doesn't apply to what I have been designing for the problem for a while... and if any of you want any of the design be my guest and do them if you want to...
At that moment I was really focusing on eliminating the problem of boredom especially in a crowded train... you know... you basically just stand there and do nothing... I thought of putting those hand grips on the ceiling so people don't need to grab the bloody poles that are so limited in number and most of the times you just left by yourself standing for dear life!
Next proposal would be and LED single display screen that shows the headlines of the day's news so people don't need to open their newspapers etc... another design that I thought of which I thought was quite possible to do is making some people (that actually is using the train at that moment) to wear this tee with perforated back and then you just stick a newspaper page onto their back and then some people can read them... but I was thinking the con would have to be that most of the times in a crowded train your back is basically squished and so if the news is stuck onto the back most probably the article won't be read...
Another idea that struck me as ingenious in the beginning was sticking articles around the wall so that you just read it... hmm... I thought it was rather clever but in the end it sucked... hehehehe... so yeah... I'm trying to come up with ideas that are irrational but still probable...

oh... and another idea that I came up with is MORE VENTILATION omg... sometimes the trains are just reek of sweat and body odours that you just wish you can freshen up the air or something geez...

Alrighty I think that's enough babling for today my hands are getting tired and I still need to design that goddamn playing cards... *sigh... so much to do so little time...
