Week Four

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE


We didnt have class this week because of the public holiday. I didnt do nothing much this week. I was just thinking which social group will be appropriate for us to choose to do our assignment. In our last group meeting, we have decided to choose families since they have their own way of carrying themselves in public. The mother must fulfill the desire of the children and same goes to the father. But personally I am not very sure whether families can be chosen for the assignment, so I think we better consult the lecturers before proceeding anything.

Week Three

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE


We went to Jusco Equine Park this week to do our observation. We went there in the evening where there is more people. We saw all kind of social groups there such as school students, working staffs, families with small children, cleaners, grandparents, and so on. We walked around with our cameras while observing them. We took pictures of the social groups that we personally thought its interesting. After a while, we were stopped by a security guard saying that we cant bring cameras inside the mall. After we explained to him our situation, he sent us to the service desk to ask for permission. Our request was denied there since there was no any written letters from our lecturers. But we didnt want to just leave without completing anything. So we kept the cameras inside the bags and took out our handphones. We continued taking pictures casually without triggering the guards' attention. I felt like a detective trying to collect information without anyone knowing. It was really fun just watching people; what they are doing? how they are talking? what kind of shops they are going? and so on.
