The four key recommendations of the report are:
1. Housing for seniors
2. Accessibility for seniors
3. Caring for seniors
4. Opportunities for seniors
These four recommendations make Singapore a elder-friendly place as Singapore's population is ageing. These recommendations will make a huge difference to the elderly lives. They will sense that they are part of the community, lead dynamic lives, even though they are old and cannot do much to out society. The elderly need care and attention to them, so they feel safe, comfortable and happy to be living in Singapore. Hence, the elderly will have a positive attitude to the surroundings, lifestyles and the community. The facilities are designed for the elderly to prevent accidents such as tripping and falling on something, which can cause great trouble and money. These recommendations also provide many services for the elderly, ensuring that the seniors' lifestyles are maintained.
State ONE way on how to make the public housing more user friendly referring to the CAI report:
They will allow the elderly to have accessible lifts, walkways and transport pick-up points which are user-friendly.
State TWO ways on how we can ensure that the quality of elderly care here in Singapore is affordable:
They are the evolving education system, the forerunners of industrialization, combatants of structural unemployment and the main contributors of Singapore’s economic expansion and progression. The seniors thus will be healthier, better educated and richer that make the quality of elderly care affordable.
After reading the CAI report, what do you are the THREE things that you can do, as an SST student, to help overcome these elderly challenges:
I can visit the old folks' home to care and help them to overcome their needs twice a month, giving them food. I also can contribute by donating money to the needy, whether it is the old or the disabled, helping them to have a better future ahead. We could launch a SST campaign to help the needy, by donating as much money we can to help them.
1. What are the 3 key takeaways from today’s visit?
Ans: I have learnt about the NEWater treatment process well and understood what the guide was talking about.
Ans: The process called Reverse Osmosis is the most important process and that made Singapore water exceeded the expectation by the World Health Organization and countries are seeking for us how to get clean water supply for all of it population.
Ans: I have learnt much about in-potable water and NEWater actually indirectly helps us by using the industrial taps and NEWater provides the industries/factories deionized water without minerals that is essential for some industries or factories. Now they have completed Phase 2 in 2008 because the industries/factories are seeking out more water supply demand.
2. Name 2 concepts that you have learnt today during the visit.
Ans: NEWater is getting more "Hi-Tech" because the evolved from Ultra filtration to Micro filtration, and the thin membranes in the strains are much smaller which is about 0.001 micron so that only certain substances including water molecules can pass through them. I now know that water must be pushed out every eight hours to prevent dirt, dust, undesired particles getting stuck in the holes of the membranes.
Ans: The "tools" for these processes to work are imported from Japan or United States of America. I suppose that they have the same kind of equipments we have here to get clean water but in a different form of process.
3. What is the 1 interesting thing that you have learnt today?
Ans: The ultra-violet rays are cheap to kill germs or bacteria and ensure all the viruses or bacteria are killed at the NEWater Plant but it leaves the dead viruses or bacteria there therefore unsafe to drink.
4. What are the things that you can do to help with water conservation in Singapore?
Ans: I can help by reusing the rice water to give nutrients to the plants, not needing the tap water for them. I can take a shower and not a long bath. I must remind people not to leave the tap running whenever I see them doing the action and not to shower too much just because of a dry spell in Singapore.
Abilash had nothing to do at all and was sitting on a chair staring at his beautiful face......
He later he took a formal picture from his face to see how he looked like now and the future.
Sorry the video is tilted to the right.......
He found his childhood photo and compared to his photo now and he found out that he was more matured now! He danced with joy!
Isometric projection:
-It is the direction of viewing is such that the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened, of which the displayed angles among them and also the scale of foreshortening are universally known. However in creating a final, isometric instrument drawing, in most cases a full-size scale, i.e., without using a foreshortening factor, is employed to good effect because the resultant distortion is difficult to perceive.
Oblique projection:
-It is the parallel projection rays are not perpendicular to the viewing plane as with orthographic projection, but strike the projection plane at an angle other than ninety degrees.
Orthographic Projection:
-is derived from the principles of descriptive geometry and is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object. It is a parallel projection (the lines of projection are parallel both in reality and in the projection plane). It is the projection type of choice for working drawings.

ADMT means to me........
Arts==> Consists of visual arts, painting, sculpting and drawing, architecture, conceptual art and literature.
Boosts our creativity and innovation in our minds by expressing our feelings on a piece of paper with a writing material and make life more beautiful and meaningful.
Media==> It is to broaden the special effects by adding audio, video files, lighting and 3D-effects using the
computer.
Technology==> It is the most essential thing that help us a lot to add to the special effects and bond the
other three words together as they are inter-connected with each other to make
everything a great success.
2. What are the attitude that an ADMT student should have?
Ans: An ADMT student should have a passion about ADMT and participate in group work
actively in class.
3. What are you aspiration as an ADMT student?
Ans:My aspiration is to help others create something that is helpful for the elderly using ADMT
and make life easier for everybody.
Design==> It is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system. This allows for
differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject.Media==> It is to broaden the special effects by adding audio, video files, lighting and 3D-effects using the
computer.
