REFLECTION - FIRST TIME FOR BEING A LEADER

BEING A LEADER IS NOT A DIFFICULT THING, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD LEADER IS REALLY NOT A EASY THING.

BEING A LEADER:

Leadership is a common and quite simple word but rather very difficult word to define due to its complexity and multifaceted composition. It is an act of influencing activities of an organized group in its quest to set goals and also to achieve certain goals. However in order to be a leader you require a variety of qualities. A good leader is one who doesn’t know everything: trying to imagine that effective leadership is related to knowing everything is one of the most dangerous misconceptions in the field of leadership. So as much as the final decision and responsibility lies with one individual, it is important for him/her to gather other peoples’ opinions or views and respects them before making a final decision on an issue.

I JUST WANT TO SAY:

I really appreciate for my group members' cooperative efforts as we have finally done our group's report. In fact, it was really tough for doing this report especially I'm the first time for being a leader. Also, there are some problems we have faced when we were doing the report. At first, our group have really can't find the way to do this report. However, a leader is one who knows the way and goes the way. So I have tried my best to show the way to my group members. No matter how hard is it, we have finally overcame all of it. 

'ALTHOUGH I'M NOT A BEST LEADER, I'VE REALLY TRY MY BEST TO BE A GOOD LEADER'.

REALLY HOPE THAT THE PRESENTATION FOR NEXT WEEK WILL GO SMOOTHLY!!:)

FIGHTING!!

SKETCH AND DEVELOPMENT-SOLUTION

AS WE KNOW THAT, THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS THAT WE WILL FACE WHEN LIVING COLLECTIVELY. HOWEVER, I HAVE DESIGNED A SOLUTION WHICH CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS - 'LIMITED SPACE', 'PRIVACY' AND 'NOISE'.

Limitations of space will make us sometimes difficult to determine or design the space that is suitable and fit best with our homes. Through our observant, we have found out a solution for small bedroom which is AN EXTRA ROOM DESIGN CONCEPT. This design is to let single room become multiple rooms as it can make more spaces in the room.

Extra room design is ideal for small spaces as it is a dual functions design which can transform from lighting into extra room. It is controlled by remote control and designed to be moved up and down, so you can only need to lower it, to change the function from lighting into extra room. Hence, you can get extra space and solve the problem of limited space. On the other hand, problem of privacy and noise also can be resolved as you can do anything in this extra room without disturb others people or disturbed by others people. This room is made by different types of absorptive material as it can be used to control interior design.

It looks like a normal lighting in the room.

Actually, the lighting can be TRANSFORM into extra room.

ANALYSE DATA / INFORMATION COLLECTED

Survey responses analysis:

For this survey, we have 10 answers in total.

There are 61 respondents who have answered our online survey questions. There are more than half of the people are international and 29.51% are local. Base on our research, there are a few locals who found that the time took them too long for going school or work and sometimes they will be late because of traffic jam. So they will rent a room which is nearby their school or working place. There are 40 persons come from the group age which is 11-20 and 16 persons is around age 21-30. Foreign students take up a large part in the respondents and they are mostly living in cooperative.

Out of 61 respondents with more than half of them are living in collectively with more than 2 people in a room. According to the statistics of responses, there are 22.95% of respondents are living with one people and 19.67% are living with 2 people. The rental is usually divides equally for each people when living in cooperative and the more people living in a room, the cheaper price for renting a room. Student who wants to save money and don't have ability to pay a higher rental, they will choose to living collectively. Besides, the workers who are low income will rent a room with lower rental as well and share with others. The range of budget shows that most of the people will consider to rent a room which is less than SGD400. The following will be 400-500, 500-600 and more than 600. The sixth question is about what kind of housemates they prefer to live with. There are 43 respondents prefer to live with student as they will consider to live with people can match to their daily routine. Some workers they will just back home at night and they need to sleep early. Hence, live with student is the best choice for them.

According to the statistics of responses, living in cooperative has a higher percentage than living in condominium as the rental which living in cooperative is cheaper than condominium. Most of the respondents have choose location as their first considering thing before rent a room as it can save the transport fee and no need to worry about traffic jam or waste their time on the way to work. There are 47 people do not prefer to live with owner as they will feel like controlled by the owner such as they are not allowed cooking in the house and cannot bring their friends come to their room, easy to get conflict with owner. Some of them will prefer to live with owner as they can easy to consult with the owner about what they need in their room and there will be orderliness and clean. Sometimes, the owner will able to help you to solve some problems on repair something such as the light bulbs burned out quickly. When linked to the last question, there are a lot of difference responses. So we have sort through and picked some responses, such as lack of privacy, communication, different lifestyle, hygiene, limited Space, noise, different sleeping time and conflict.
