Topic : Waiting for people

Stage 1 of Observation Gathered.

Firstly,  the places where people often wait at.

The  first most common place we found is at the MRT stations.

Mrt stations also know as the interchange is the most commonly place we felt that most people will usually meet their friends at before they start their plans of the day.

The next common waiting location will be at cafes and shopping centres

People often choose  to wait at these locations where they can do their shoppings or even have a cup of coffee at the cafe while waiting for friends. This will keep them away of tracking the waiting time.

The next waiting location will be at bus-stops or road side.

People who are waiting at such locations because they are most likely waiting for friends to knock off after work. Therefore they choose such location which is nearby at working places and perhaps gave them a pleasant surprise.

Besides that there are also people waiting for trains and buses, usually these time are quite short and they are doing find with such reasonable waiting time.

However there are also people waiting for their queues, these waiting times varies as the people waiting in-line for restaurants seats, supermarket, promotion food or items.

What do people do while waiting?

1. PHONE. the most common item in hand while waiting.

Most people will keep their hands on their phones, which they could find another form of entertainment to keep them engage while waiting. They would usually start messaging with friends to talk with, playing games on their phones, reading the news, listen to some music.

2. Impromptu Actions

People will start their random browsing and shopping at shops while waiting. Some will even find some quick bites to munch on. Such actions will therefore keep them engage into some form of walking around and keeping their eyes busy on window shoppings.

3. Standing still

These people will usually stand on the spot with not much movement around just keeping their eyes on those things around them, and perhaps some will start staring into daze . Such lethargic actions could be that the person feeling quite pissed with the waiting time.

Twist and Spout

Everyday when i reached home, with my bottle still filled with some water leftover. I would usually pour into my plants but I would usually pour it all over the place which is not as good if I could use this. I would have better control of the water coming out and not so wasteful of the water.

I think it would come out as a very handy household products that my mum could even use it to pour drinks to the guests. It would be up to your imagination how useful it would come into your life.

Disposable Bed.

This idea is really cool, I would like to have  to inside my car. Whenever i am outside in the middle of the night, i might use this as my bed for the night and enjoy the night scenery. Maybe when i am at my friends house, this might also come in handy.

But the thought of having a new bed and disposing after use, it might be quite wasteful. I would rather prefer a lasting one which i can rely on it always. The bad point of this bed is that is just not as comfy as my current one, maybe they could add in a few stuffs like an extra pillow?
