"Dear IP1s, 

It was lovely to meet all of you this week. 

It has been a pretty short introduction, but by now all of you should have gotten a taste of what the Integrated Humanities will be like this year. Places mean a great deal to people, and we'd like you to take this Chinese New Year break to think about it on a personal level. 

So your Task (10% of CA1) is this: 

1. Take a picture of a place in Singapore that is significant to you.

2. Write and tell us about where that place is, what it means to you, and why. 

Your picture and write up should take up no more than ONE PAGE, so use your words wisely. Just some advice: Be creative! The more specific your place is, the more you can write about it! So don't just say "hostel", or "my home". 

This assignment will be due on MONDAY 7 February. Lit reps please assist us in collecting the assignment before class.  

Have fun with this! And have a wonderful Chinese New Year. 

love your lit tutors, 

Miss Phua and Miss Lee"

VivoCity’s SkyPark is a very significant place to me, and it is located at the 3^rd floor, which is the rooftop, of one of Singapore’s biggest shopping mall, VivoCity. It is directly above Harbourfront MRT station. The SkyPark spans across the entire rooftop of the mall, and has shallow pools for recreation and some cute and adorable sculptures. One of my favourite sculptures was an iron man hanging on a pull up bar and doing a 360 degree flip around the bar once every few minutes. My friends and I all went gobsmacked whenever all of us witnessed that, and wished we could all do that amazing stunt.

The skypark indeed brings back very fond memories I had with my church mates. It was like a popular hangout spot for us to have fun together as a group. The SkyPark is very windy, and also very relaxing. I felt like all my troubles in my mind were put behind whenever I head to the SkyPark with my friends.

One time, my friends and I had planned to meet up at VivoCity to just relax, chill and enjoy one another’s company in the midst of studying for our coming examinations then. We had agreed to bring our homework and assessment books to the outing so that we could study together, as well as help one another with our individual difficulties in a particular subject. One of my friends then began to start playing some music to keep the mood up, so that we would not be stressed and too worked up. After all, it was an outing, and outings are meant to be fun! However, we got overly distracted by the awesome music that was being aired, such that we all decided to use our hand phones to exchange songs. After we realised that we had stopped studying, we decided to call it a day and start playing card games. We played our favourite western themed role playing game for numerous rounds and laughed at one another’s jokes while playing.

We then headed to the shallow pools spread across the SkyPark and had a great time splashing around. That was one of the most enjoyable moments of my life, trying to get others wet without getting myself drenched. It was so exhilarating to dash about the pool while dodging splashes of water that my friends made. However, I got attacked a few times, and I went out of the pool, soaked not only with water, but also drenched with fun!

After all that craziness, we all felt chilly, especially with the cold gusts of wind blowing at us while we still had water dripping from our clothes.  We decided to dash into the mall for shelter, but the freezing air-conditioning system did not help us at all. It was then one of us suggested we should head for the toilets, where we could not only answer nature’s calls, but also to put the hand dryers to good use. I still remember the wonderful feeling when the warm air gushed all over my body. Once we were done drying up, we hanged around the area, suggesting where we should head for dinner together.

After a few suggestions were listed, we all unanimously agreed on splitting up to a few fast food restaurants and order our own preferred meal, and then bringing up the food to the SkyPark to eat together. It was like a picnic, except that we did not have a mat. All of us met back together at a beautiful location in the SkyPark where there were not many people around, and a gorgeous view of Sentosa Island and some gigantic cruises. We had a great time of fellowship and camaraderie while having the meal. We chatted about our lives and some interesting stories, all the way through the night, until some of our parents called up and anxiously asked why we were not at home yet.

The SkyPark at VivoCity really brought me back a lot of memories whenever I think about it. The enjoyable moments I had when hanging out with a few of my closest friends will never be erased from my mind. How I wish I could organise yet another outing with my church mates to hang out at the SkyPark again. There was always a lot we could talk about to one another, but we just have not much time nowadays, since some of us were too busy with schoolwork.
